Chapter 38 Field Service
Winters successfully obtained the Military Police Department of the Army Headquarters [hereinafter referred to as the Military Police Department] Apprenticeship opportunity, but only him. Now that he learned that the Gendarmerie Office is not a good place, he felt that there was no need to bring Bud in, after all, Bud is not a sorcerer.

Bud wanted to go to Ma Zhengke in the equipment department, and Winters asked his uncle for help. Andrei found a way to go to the training department by himself, and the three partners were temporarily separated.

Standing at the door of the gendarmerie, Winters adjusted the neckline, smoothed the folds in the uniform, and straightened the outer belt. After carefully grooming, he lightly knocked on the door three times.

"Please come in." A slightly breathless voice came from the room.

Winters pushed through the door with his hat under his left arm. On the right hand side of the door was a square table. Behind the table sat a blond young man in his early twenties, writing something on a piece of paper.

He gave the military salute neatly, and the blond young man stood up in a panic, he was at a loss to return to the military salute, he just raised his hand but put it down, and finally bowed deeply.

The blond youth blushed and explained, "I'm not an officer, I'm just a scribe, you don't have to salute me."

Winters was also a little nervous, not even noticing that the blond youth was wearing It's just civilian clothes, not military uniforms. He smiled and stretched out his hand to the blond young man, who shyly shook his hand.

"Are you here for Lieutenant Colonel Field?"

"Yes, I'm Winters Montagne, and I'm here for a year as a trainee."

The blond youth hurriedly walked around from behind the desk and led Winters into the office. He said, "Lieutenant Colonel is not here, please sit and wait for a while. My name is Moluc, and I am a clerk in this office."

Winters was led by Moluc to rest on a bench at the other end of the room, and he surveyed the office carefully.

The room assigned by the military police is on the corner of the second floor of the entire army headquarters building. Obviously, some people want the lieutenant colonel to be as far away as possible.

Although the location is remote, the room is very bright because it is in the corner. The whole office is very neat and tidy, except for a few desks and chairs, there are several filing cabinets, and there are no decorative ornaments, which makes people feel refreshed.

In addition to the door when I came in, there are two other doors in the office. The door on the west side looks larger, and it is obviously the office of Lieutenant Colonel Field. As for the other door, I don't know what's behind it.

“Would you like some tea?” Moluc pulled out a set of china cups and placed them on the small table in front of Winters. It is estimated that the gendarmerie has not received guests for a long time, and the cup has been covered with a layer of dust. Seeing this, Moluc quickly took out his handkerchief and wiped the cup.

"Don't be busy, I don't drink tea." Winters hurriedly stopped Moluc. People in the Bay Area like to brew with spices such as pepper and cinnamon with tea from the Far East. Winters only found the taste strange. , is not used to drinking.

"Then what would you like to drink? Wine? Water?"

"Thank you, don't bother." Seeing Moluk in a hurry, Winters couldn't bear to see him Continue tossing: "I would like to ask you to introduce me to the Military Police Department."

Moluc scratched his head: "I also said not quite clear, I'm just a clerk, if there are any mistakes, please let me know. Excuse me."

"Please say."

"Actually, there is nothing to say at the gendarmerie at headquarters, two officers—you are the third, a gendarmerie of the Hundred Men Squad It's good for you to come here for apprenticeship. The job here is very easy, and you are only responsible for standing guard for the army headquarters. Anyway, no one dares to come here to act wildly, so usually you only need to arrange the guards."

so that's how it is, Winters finally understood why his uncle said that the military police department at the headquarters was a department specially set up for the lieutenant colonel. Called the gendarmerie, it is actually a guard, and it is too aggrieved that the dignified lieutenant colonel only brings one Hundred Men Squad.

Moluc pointed to the door of the great room: "That's Lieutenant Colonel Field's office."

"Whose office is that other door?" Winters gestured Another door to a smaller room.

Without looking back, Moluc said, "Oh, the chief of that office took a leave of absence, and it's been a long time since he came. You and Lieutenant Colonel Field are the only two officers in the gendarmerie now."

Winters actually has a little regret now. Bud went to Ma Zhengke to carry forward his family's ancestral ability to raise horses; Andre went to the training office, which would be interesting to think about.

It was a lively and lively period of more than 30 people during the same period, and now I am alone sitting here, and suddenly I feel a little lonely.

While he was thinking wildly, the door of the police station was kicked open by Fiercely, a timid figure broke into the house, ignoring the existence of Winters, and fiercely kicked Lieutenant Colonel Field's door. Office, walked in.

I heard a loud roar from the office: "[The swear words that make deaf people cry]!"

After a while, Lieutenant Colonel Field walked out of the office with a stiff expression. Stepping out, Winters quickly stood at attention and saluted.

The lieutenant colonel asked Winters in a hoarse voice: "Who are you?"

Winters presented his dispatch letter with both hands to the lieutenant colonel: "Commissioner Winters Montagne, Come and report!"

Field took the dispatch letter and glanced casually, with a lukewarm attitude: "Um... Infantry Division?"

"Yes!"

Lieutenant Colonel Field's eyes shifted to the Three-Five Association badge on Winters' chest.

"sorcerer?"

"Yes!"

"Which spells are you good at?"

"Uh, Fire Element Yes."

Hearing that the Fire Element was burning, Lieutenant Colonel Field laughed dryly and pointed at Winters' chest: "Take this badge off, for fear that outsiders won't know that you are a sorcerer?"

Only then did Winters notice that Lieutenant Colonel Field didn't have the badge of the 35th Association on his chest, and he thought of Major Moritz, who also didn't wear a badge.

For his sorcerer status, Winters actually has three points of pride, otherwise he wouldn't be wearing this badge every day in the military school. But there must be a reason for the two high-level officers not wearing badges. He quickly took off the badges and put them in his pocket.

Lieutenant Colonel Field stared into Winters' eyes and said in a deep voice, "I have nothing else to ask for, except for two points, keep your mouth shut and obey orders. If we do these two points, we can get along very happily. . Learn these two points and you're a qualified officer."

"Yes!" Winters tapped the heel of his boot and stood at attention again.

“How is the horsemanship?”

“It’s okay.”

“Did you ride to Imperial Palace today?”

"No." Winters' house was not far from the Army Headquarters, within a few steps, without the need for a horse.

"Go to the stables, take my horse out, and get yourself a horse, wait for me at the door." One day trainee will go out to work. Isn't it easy to say that the work here is easy, and it is enough to schedule the guards?
He saluted again cleanly, and was about to set off.

"Wait!" Lieutenant Colonel Field stopped Winters again: "Where's your sword?"

Winters was stunned: "I don't have a sword, only a long sword. "

"How can you be an officer without a saber? Wait here."

Lieutenant Colonel Field walked quickly back to his office. After a while, he came out with a saber, raised his hand and threw it to Winters, and said boldly: "This is my Dussack, you take it first."

Winters In the air, he caught the saber thrown by the lieutenant colonel. It is heavy to start with the knife and sheath, and it feels heavier than a long sword.

The blade is slightly curved as a whole, the blade length is about 80 cm, and there is a simple arc-shaped guard on the handle, like a saber used by cavalry. The whole black wooden scabbard has no decoration, only the end of the handle is carved into the shape of an eagle's head.

He pulled out the knife a palm-length long, and saw that the knife had a single-sided edge, a thick back and a thin blade. There is also a smell of knife oil.

There is no doubt that this is a real, well-maintained car.

"Go." The lieutenant colonel waved.

Winters nods, and strides out of the gendarmerie with a Dussack knife in hand.

---I am the dividing line of the real knife catcher---

Leaving Army Headquarters.

Field was ahead on his black steed, and Winters followed behind on his crotch, maintaining a half-horse distance.

This time, Lieutenant Colonel Field only brought Warrant Officer Winters to the field, not a single military police officer.

There are many pedestrians on the road, horses can't run, they just walk fast.

Wait for a section of the road, and out of the city, the pedestrians are gradually sparse. Lieutenant Colonel Field no longer deliberately controlled the speed of the horse.

With just a slight gesture, his handsome black horse immediately understood what his master meant, and snorted happily, the strong muscles of his limbs and chest suddenly exerted strength, and the speed increased in a few seconds. He got up and galloped on the dirt road on the outskirts of the city with the lieutenant colonel fast as lightning—this dark horse also felt that the city was really suffocating and tight, and was about to have a good run.

The little dark horse was happy, but Winters was depressed.

He was already taller than the major, and with his stature, no matter how good his equestrian skills were, he couldn't be a horse racing rider.

This horse of his is still a military horse provided by the army headquarters stables for officers. It is not as good as the dark horse of the lieutenant colonel. large distances.

After a few steps, Lieutenant Colonel Fidel also realized that Winters had been thrown away. The lieutenant colonel pulled the reins, and just warmed up, the dark horse, who had not had enough time running, neighed in dissatisfaction and slowed down.

Winters just followed. He felt a little embarrassed and secretly resolved to find a really good horse to compete with the lieutenant colonel in a few days.

The two were silent the whole time, the lieutenant colonel didn't say where they were going, and Winters didn't ask. But the further he went, the more familiar Winters felt, and he struggled to remember where exactly he had come down the road. Finally, he recognized it.

Isn't this the way to the customs prison?
As Winters thought, the two stopped at the gate of the customs prison, where Winters was "invited" out two days ago.

The lieutenant colonel handed the reins to Winters, walked straight to the gate of the customs prison, and fiercely kicked it. His strength was so great that the oak door, which was three meters high and six meters wide, was shaking all over.

A small door opened on the gate, and several vicious guards ran out carrying long halberd. Just as he was about to start swearing, he swallowed the swear words when he saw two officers in uniform.

The leader asked kindly, "What's the matter with you two?"

The lieutenant colonel took out a lacquered letter from his saddlebag, He threw it to the guards: "Leave it to the person in charge here, and let him come out to see me."

After a while, the main entrance of the prison of the Customs Anti-Smuggling Division opened wide, and the warden personally went out to greet Lieutenant Colonel Field and led two army officers into the prison.

Revisit an old haunt in less than two days, Winters was a little emotional. Entering this prison with the mentality of a guest rather than a prisoner is a different feeling.

The warden did not lead Fidel and Winters into the prison's main building, but led them around the outer wall of the main building to a small stone house.

Before getting close to the little house with a wood top and stone walls, Winters smelled a sickening stench. The warden was obviously prepared, he took out a sachet from his arms and covered his mouth and nose.

The lieutenant colonel was expressionless, looking at the warden who couldn't bear the smell, his eyes were full of contempt and contempt. Winters also learned to lead, trying not to show any discomfort with a sullen face.

The three stopped outside the stone house, and the warden frowned said: "The people from the Guard Division have been waiting at the archives building early in the morning. I have sent someone to inform them, and they should be able to do it in a while. Come."

He glanced slyly at the two army officers and said with a smile: "It's so stinky in here, you two are still waiting here, don't look at it first."

p>

Lieutenant Colonel Field took a deep look at the customs warden, coldly snorted from the deepest part of his nose. Immediately kicked in, Winters followed the lieutenant colonel into the stone house.

As soon as you enter the stone house, the stench is even stronger and pungent, making you want to spit out the last thing in your stomach. The stench reminded Winters of the most disgusting thing he could imagine on the world:
It was like the bubbling decay of a skunk carcass rotting in a closed cave for a hundred years. gas.

Winters finally knows where this place is - it's the prison morgue.

In the stone house, flies were dancing wildly, and three naked male corpses were placed on wooden boards, which should be the source of the stench.

The body was covered in snowflake-shaped powders, and Winters judged that these white crystal powders were probably salt.

Salting is an ancient embalming method used by soldiers of some civilizations to preserve the heads of their enemies. But obviously the pickling didn't have a very good effect on these three people. Some kind of liquid seeped out from under their bodies and was dripping from the wooden board to the ground drop by drop.

Two more people came in from outside the door, these two people covered their mouths and noses with cotton bags filled with spices, and they were obviously surprised to see the two army officers entering the morgue without any deodorant protective gear. .

The lead man raised his hat and saluted the two officers politely. Winters returned the salute in the same way, and the lieutenant colonel nodded his face blankly.

The leader introduced himself in a quick and eloquent manner: "I'm Lopp, the officer of the Customs Guard Division." He pointed to the person behind him again: "This is my adjutant Cornaro."

Lieutenant Colonel Field did not introduce himself. He opened his mouth and went straight to the subject: "Are these three corpses?"

"Not three." The security officer smiled bitterly: "It's four."

The affairs officer waved his hand, and his adjutant went straight to the depths of the room and lifted a layer of dirty sackcloth. Under the sackcloth was the fourth corpse.

Accurately speaking, this is not a whole corpse at all, just a few pieces of a corpse. The previous owner of this body had obviously had some unbearable tragic encounters, so only half of it remained.

Winters has killed pirates and seen pirate captives executed one by one on the deck by his contemporaries.

He originally thought that his mind had been trained, but the miserable state of this half body still made him unable to look directly, he tilted his head slightly and avoided his sight.

And Lieutenant Colonel Field was still just nodded with a deadpan expression.

Officer Loop said to Lieutenant Colonel Field with understanding: "We have seen the body, let's go out and talk about the rest. I know that the two army officers are used to seeing the wind and waves, and they can Turn a blind eye. But I can't stay in this room for a second, so let's get out first, shall we?"

Winters' affection for the customs officer doubled, but he still agreed with him. Lieutenant Colonel Field was just as calm.

Lieutenant Colonel nodded, the four left the house, and the warden outside the door had long since disappeared.

As he walked, Officer Lope explained in a relaxed tone: "The prisoners only know how to use salt for embalming, but they don't know that the internal organs must be hollowed out before embalming the body. It's not rotten, it's rotten inside, and it's like this. But I can't blame them. The prisoners died in the prison, and they were carried away by their families after two days at most. Those without family members were buried directly. They never kept the bodies for so long. ”

The four of them stopped when they reached the 20 meters above the morgue.

Loop took a file from the adjutant and handed it to the morgue. After the lieutenant colonel, he talked about it: "Everything we found is here. The four people lying inside arrived at Seablue Harbor on a three-masted light ship called the Skua with your midshipmen this year..."

Loop didn't know that his words stirred up in Winters' heart. What a stormy sea, the dim light in the morgue, and the distorted facial features caused by the contraction of facial muscles after death, Winters couldn't tell who these people were.

So until he heard what the customs officer said, Only then did he know that the three and a half people lying inside were the four passengers on the Skua, and it seems that none of the four of them survived.

"...And then they were all killed at the pier. "Loop didn't notice that the junior officer on the opposite side was pupil shrinking and his breathing accelerated, and said: "The names, origins and occupations of these four people are all a mystery. The perpetrators took their belongings. For the remaining portable items, I can't find any that can identify them. As for the perpetrator, he ran away on the spot, and now there is no clue at all. It sank a pier in our customs, and now I don't even know who to lose money. "

Loop took another dossier from the adjutant and handed it to the lieutenant colonel: "This is the report written by the doctor in charge of the autopsy in our security department. "

The lieutenant colonel took the report, did not open it, and handed it to Winters together with the previous dossier without looking back.

Loop was unperturbed and calm. Di continued: "Those three complete corpses, one of which was mortally wounded in the chest, pierced through the heart and lungs. The other two were fatally wounded in the flanks and rear, and should have been killed by the siege of several people. "

Lieutenant Colonel listened very carefully, nodded while listening.

"As for the one who was blown up." Officer Loop gave a wry smile: "I really can't tell where the fatal injury is, it may have been killed by an explosion." "

"Did these four people die?" " Field brows slightly wrinkle , asked rhetorically.

"And a few sailors and porters died. Officer Loop replied calmly: "Some were killed by bombing, some were killed by shock in the water, all were identified by family members and co-workers and their bodies were taken away." The name is recorded in the file I gave you. hehe, I think the part of the half body that I can't find, if it wasn't salvaged at all, it was taken by the wrong person. ”

“Is there any other valuable information? The lieutenant colonel continued to ask.

Loop Affairs Officer sighed, spread out both hands: "This is all the content I have found, and it is recorded in the file in detail. "

The lieutenant colonel was still nodded expressionlessly, but his lips slightly parted and he spit out a sentence: "many thanks." "

"What's there to be thankful for?" I didn't find anything. Officer Loop sighed again and said helplessly, "This case is a mess, and I can't figure it out. It will definitely become an unsolved case." Although I don't know why the Army took over this murder... Well, I guess you have your own ideas. But anyway, by taking over this case, you have done me a great favor, and I owe you a favor. If there is anything you need my help with, please feel free to come and find me at the Customs Guard Division. "

Lieutenant Colonel Field put his hand on the brim of his hat and gave a salute. The two customs officials also responded politely, and the two sides said goodbye.

However, the two customs officers walked out of the dozens of meters. After leaving, Adjutant Cornaro turned back. He ran all the way to Field and Winters, and asked Lieutenant Colonel Field breathlessly: "Sir, Your Excellency the clerk asked me to ask you, since you have taken over the case , what do you want to do with the evidence and the corpse? We can deliver it for you, or just bury it for you. "

"Please send the evidence directly to the Military Police Department of the Army Headquarters. "Lieutenant Colonel Field happily accepted the evidence, but the handling of the corpse made him a little embarrassed. He pondered: "The words of the corpse... um... I think about it..."

Lieutenant Colonel suddenly had It was a good idea, he said happily: "I have also collected the corpses, but there is no morgue in the Army Headquarters, you can send me to the morgue of the Hailan City Garrison Command. "

In order to ensure that the deputy customs officer remembered, Field repeated his own words again, emphasizing "the morgue of the Hailan City Garrison Command".

Ke The adjutant of Bernaro, nodded, hurriedly saluted, repeatedly muttering "the morgue of the Hailan City Garrison Command", and ran to chase after his own affairs officer.

Middle Field The school was in a good mood, and led Winters towards the gate of the prison. When they passed the morgue again, the lieutenant colonel suddenly had a good idea.

"Wind riding, right? Field smiled and turned to Winters.

Winters nods, this is the spell he made himself unconscious, how could he not.

"Follow my orders, and I Let's use the wind control technique to send air to this house together, do you understand? "

Winters nodded vigorously this time, he already understood what the lieutenant colonel was going to do.

Field snapped his fingers, using the same spellcasting gesture as Winters, together. Wind Rider was activated. The magic accelerated the air in front of them, creating a gust of wind that blew into the morgue.

During this process, Winters vaguely felt that he was using Wind Ride. The ability seems to have improved a little.

The stench that was originally stagnant in the morgue was pushed out by this strong wind, and soon filled the entire prison, and there were reports of interfering in the customs prison. Vomiting.

Lieutenant Colonel Fields laughed wildly and walked with Winters to the Prison Sect entrance. , Customs Prison was left behind and could no longer be seen.

Lieutenant Colonel Field suddenly took the reins and his dark horse stopped with a neigh.

Winters did not receive He rushed over from Lieutenant Colonel Field and saw that Lieutenant Colonel rolled over and dismounted, and Winters quickly turned his horse and went back to find Lieutenant Colonel.

Lieutenant Colonel walked to the edge of the cypress tree by the roadside without saying a word. , Winters didn't know why, but he followed along.

I saw Lieutenant Colonel closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths at first, and finally couldn't hold back, and spit it out with a "wow".

p>

Winters was trying to forget the nausea caused by the customs prison morgue, and seeing the lieutenant colonel vomit, he recalled the nightmarish stench, only to feel a huge force squeezing his stomach His esophagus expanded uncontrollably, and he vomited with a "wow".

After Lieutenant Colonel had vomited once, the urge to vomit was not as strong. But when he looked back, he saw Winters was also throwing up, and his stomach, which had already stopped, began to churn again, and he threw up again with a "wow".

The same is true for Winters, who just calmed down and saw Lieutenant Colonel Field throw up again. , I couldn't help myself and vomited again.

Lieutenant Colonel Field: "Don't vomit, I can't hold it anymore when you vomit, vomit..."

Winters : "Didn't you vomit first? Vomiting..."

The two vomited the last thing in their stomachs, and finally they vomited only bitter bile, and finally stopped completely.

The lieutenant colonel spat bitterly. He saliva: "This damned bastard, if I come to Imperial Palace someday, I have to treat him well. "

When they turned their heads, they saw two horses licking their vomit.

Winters and Field looked at each other, seeing despair in each other's eyes.

“Ouch…”

————the dividing line————

The military salute has been around since ancient times, and the etiquette of holding a hat has been around since at least the eleventh century. Yes, the hand-raising salute has been around since at least the 16th century.

I sent some pictures and information about the Tussac knife lent to Winters by Lieutenant Colonel Fields, and I am interested in it. You can look at it (don't look at it, the picture is already cracked, all three-dimensional cold weapons will crack).

And, horses can really eat people's vomit. At least I have seen it Yiqihui
