Mage Joan

Chapter 2288: Epidemic Suspects

"In all fairness, judging from the various evidences held by the police, the Ratman is indeed very suspected of a crime, but the police's handling method was too rough and committed at least two serious mistakes."

"First of all, the police did not distinguish between the species of rat people. Squirrel people are indeed carriers of rot fever, and they can also infect veterinary disease that is more terrible than rot fever."

"Take a step back. Even if they don't spread the disease, this group of rats will not do good things all day long. They will catch and kill all those who may be wronged. Only half of them will definitely miss the net."

"But there are not only squirrels in this big family of scavengers!"

"There are still a handful of white rat people in the city. It is the line of Azhe and the others. They are not the same as the squirrel people who hang around in the gutter all day. They neither carry rot fever bacteria nor infect veterinary disease, and they are Orthodox Peiluo believers who worship the sun **** and work in legitimate industries to make a living, it would be too much to arrest them too!"

"The second mistake made by the Leiden Port police is to use most of the police force to patrol the port, financial street, university campus, wealthy districts and neighborhoods where government agencies are located, and only to ensure that there are no rat people running around in these places. The police did not conduct thorough investigations of those slums with larger area, worse security environment and more inhabitants."

"This approach is like digging a hole in a fish pond, deliberately or unintentionally driving the rat people to the slums for refuge, prompting the outbreak of infectious diseases in the slums."

"Furthermore, the slums were originally the lairs of the big gangs in the city. Coupled with the influx of large groups of rat people, the conflicts that broke out in order to grab territory have become more intense."

"According to my observations, in the last two months, the number of homicides in the five largest slums in the city has increased by more than three times over the same period last year!"

"If you are an ordinary citizen who unfortunately fell into a slum, then the probability of you dying from rot fever and dying from gang conflict is almost as high!"

Xiao Miao sighed, and concluded angrily:

"Perhaps in the eyes of the officials, the disease of the poor is not considered a disease, the fate of the poor is not fortune-telling, and death is nothing but death!"

Qiao An knows that Xiao Miao is from a slum, and she has reason to be outraged by the police's favoritism.

But Qiao An also knows that the allocation of police resources in the various neighborhoods of Leiden Port does not depend on the administrative orders of a certain bureaucrat, but mainly depends on how much taxes can be collected from that neighborhood.

Financial Street and the wealthy district are big taxpayers. Taxes paid by local residents are the main source of government revenue, and they have the right to request better security services.

The city's political security department mainly comes from taxes in the jurisdiction, and officials do not dare to offend their parents. Of course, they have to send more police to protect these high-end communities.

As for the slums that Xiaomiao accused of being unfairly treated, Qiao An has also visited those places. The environment is dirty and poor, the gang dominates, and the rules of the rivers and lakes are more effective than the legal provisions. Only, it is too difficult to collect taxes, and moreover, it is impossible to collect a few dollars. It is reasonable for the police to have no incentive to strictly enforce the law.

"A Zhi was affected by this turmoil and was afraid to show his face for the time being. Teacher Benny took him to the largest slum in the city-Queens. Firstly, he avoided the police and wanted to investigate the truth behind the epidemic. "Xiao Miao said.

"Sister Meow, is there any clue in Queens?" Qiao An asked.

"From the information we currently have, the most powerful squirrel gang in the city, that is, the notorious'Gambino family', is likely to be related to the outbreak of rot fever, and the Gambino family The headquarters is in Queens."

"The'Kolobo family' from Mr. Benny is also a gang that originated in Queens. The members are mainly kobolds. The style is not as despicable and vicious as the squirrels. It is unscrupulous. It mainly sells stolen goods and talks to us. 'The association is pretty good.'

"Mr. Benny took Ah Zhi back to Queens and temporarily took shelter with the Kolob family. Recently, he is investigating the illegal activities of the Gambino family, trying to find clues related to the rot fever epidemic."

"It's too risky to investigate the case on the grounds of the squirrel gangster." Dr. Kalandil frowned.

"I am also worried about their safety. In the last two days, I have not received a reply to the letter I sent to Mr. A Zhi and Mr. Benny, which makes me feel very uneasy." Xiao Miao looked worried, "I plan to go there this afternoon. Queens, hope they are all right."

Havel turned to look at the young mage, with a pleading in his eyes: "Joan, if you can spare time, can you please accompany Xiao Miao to the Queens? She is too irritable, I really don't worry."

"No problem, I will accompany Sister Miu on a trip this afternoon."

In fact, even if Mr. Havel didn't say anything, Joan had such a plan.

"You kid is loyal!" Xiao Miao grinned and patted Qiao'an on the shoulder. "Sister Miao, I'm also a loyalist, and I can't let you work in vain. I'll treat you at noon. Just order what you want!"

"I have another date at noon. I will go to the Castis's manor. We are going to have an open-air barbecue party and drink some wine. Sister Miao, do you like grilled fish?"

"Gudong!" The catwoman swallowed a big mouthful of her saliva, clutching Qiao'an's hand with her paw, and said viciously: "I will ask you for this meal another day. You will take me to the White House Manor to eat grilled fish at noon today!"

"That's all right, let's go now." Qiao An got up to say goodbye to Javier and Kalandil, and specially left two bottles of "Tears of God" soaked potion, and told them to take it, which can guarantee immunity for at least seven days. All diseases.

Walking out of the door of the firm, small snowflakes were mixed in the cold wind blowing in front of you. Qiao An raised his head and glanced at the sky. The good weather in the morning had been replaced by overcast clouds. I don't know when it will snow again.

Xiao Miao shrank her neck in the cold wind, and stood on the street waiting for the rental carriage.

Perhaps due to bad weather, after waiting for ten minutes, I didn't see an empty car. Catwoman jumped her feet with anger.

Qiao An didn't want to continue waiting in the wind and snow, so he did it himself and cast a spell to create a phantom carriage.

With a cheer, Xiao Miao opened the door and jumped in.

Qiao An followed in the car and telepathically ordered the two phantom horses to go to the White House Manor outside the city.

The carriage ran smoothly, and there was nothing to do along the way, Qiao An responded to Xiao Miao's strong request, and briefly recounted the five years of leaving Leiden.

The carriage left the city gate and drove along the road into the vast wilderness. Both sides of the road were covered with snow-covered farmland. In the distance, there were sometimes undulating manors.

At this moment, a sparrow landed on the carriage window, and Joan, who rushed into the carriage through the glass window, was chattering non-stop.
