"We understand, sir," came forward a police officer, his uniform revealing him as the police chief of Sector 18.
He was the only one available right now, given that others had been called by headquarters to assist the Serstul family, who were trying to accomplish the task assigned by the Marquess of searching the records of two people.
Coincidentally, he, who was inside the sector 18 and was about to leave, received a call informing him that the same Marquess, whom they were trying to impress, would be meeting them in person.
But,
"....it's clear from the state of the dead body that there wasn't a chance of struggle here." He was not going to just stand idly by like all these people who wanted to gain favor with this man.
His honesty was above all else, even above his life.
"And I would like you to cooperate," he declared firmly, looking coldly down at Avendial as he moved his hand toward his pocket, trying to take out handcuffs.
