Chapter 41
The door is open.
It was not done by Donald, but opened from it.
The one who came out was a girl in professional suit, short and simple ponytail, looking a little cute.
"Is there anything that can help you?"
The girl asked looking at Donald, who also stared back at her.
The two of them collided with their eyes and were speechless for a moment.
"Donald, it's impolite to stare at others, we have something to do."
Diliya next to her couldn't stand it anymore. Even if she liked her, she couldn't keep her eyes open. She made the little girl feel a little embarrassed.
"Hmm? Oh... I'm sorry, you're so much like my friend. You're a little dazed for a while. I'm very sorry, goodbye."
Squinting his eyes, Donald took a step away from his position. His gaze was not because he was attracted by the appearance of the girl in front of him. In fact, this girl can only be said to be cute. In terms of appearance, even Dilia around him looks better than her.
A special thinking in his mind affected his actions.
This is a strange feeling. Donald feels that he should have some connection with the person in front of him... Don't get me wrong, it's not those that are inferior.
Instead, I discovered the existence I was looking for, and then felt the joy from the bottom of my heart.
But there may be more negative emotions hidden in this joy.
"It doesn't matter."
The girl replied, then left with her head down.
Donald did not immediately withdraw his gaze, but signaled Ms. Diliya to give priority, waited for her to pass, and then turned to look at the girl who was leaving.
"Sure enough."
Donald whispered to himself.
"What exactly?"
Dilia in front turned around, Donald's abnormal behavior made her a little curious.
"It's nothing. The girl just now looks like a good friend I met in Puston. You know, after staying outside for a long time, I will definitely miss my old friend before. When I saw her for the first time, I thought it was the old friend who came to see me from Puston. I just looked at my back and it turned out to be very similar!"
Donald made excuses and made excuses. The one just now was not a human at all!
However, this is the gate of the Maritime Security Bureau. Just standing here you can see the staff coming and going inside. This is not a good place to break up.
That's right, Donald wanted to attack her, not because his enemies were particularly jealous of meeting each other, but because the dominant devil that had been silent in his mind for a long time was sending such a signal.
The two asked a few people and quickly found Mr. Furno, who was a friend of the Maritime Bureau as Professor Cook said and had already greeted him in advance.
"Even the Maritime Bureau will take a vacation tomorrow. It's a coincidence that I asked someone to prepare coffee for my own convenience."
Furno is a very strong position in the Maritime Security Bureau, so unlike the employees who gathered together outside, he has a separate office, which is not small.
"Will there be heavy rains starting tomorrow?"
There is still some preparation at the beginning of the conversation, and talking about some more sensitive topics at the beginning is easy to make people nervous.
"To be precise, it will start at noon tomorrow and last for nearly a week. I do not recommend going out during this period of time. If you want to remove it, it is best to prepare a fully protected raincoat. The umbrella will be useless."
Furno placed his hands on the handles on both sides of the seat, and he could tell that he was very relaxed.
It is naturally a joy to think that tomorrow will start with a one-week holiday.
"Thank you for your reminder. Regarding our purpose, Professor Cook must have communicated with you on the phone."
Donald picked up the coffee and took a sip, but did not move the sugar bag on the plate next to him.
"Indeed... Generally speaking, it is unruly for people like us to talk about some special cases of people or things in society. It's just that Professor Cook is my friend for many years, so I'm willing to make an exception for him. But you have to make sure that the conversation between us will not exist after leaving this office. I will not admit that there has been this exchange, nor will there be a second conversation, because what you want to know is really out of place."
The Maritime Bureau is an extremely important department in Demingham. Taking up a job here is a very decent thing, and no one wants to damage his future because of a few words.
"No problem, we are not journalists either. We just have to know something because of some special circumstances. How much do you know about the Greber Chamber of Commerce? Diliya, no record."
After Donald said that, he noticed that Dilia took out her notebook and quickly patted her forearm. Since there was no second conversation, it would be better not to appear in the text record.
His behavior made Funo nod at the opposite side, and he thought to himself that the young man in front of him looked young and acted in an old way.
With records and without records, he may be talking about two types of contents.
This kind of recording behavior itself can make people feel uncomfortable.
"Although it has no cooperation with our Maritime Bureau, the Chamber of Commerce has given me a bad impression from some daily maritime transportation. They will tamper with and play in some places for some small interests. This is not once or twice, but a regular behavior. Gleber's vice chairman, I heard that he encountered an accident at a shipwreck press conference yesterday. I heard that it was an anchor that suddenly appeared... I don't want to offend a dead person, but this vice chairman is indeed not a good person."
As the department managing the navigation industry in Demingham, the Maritime Bureau has one in Tallinn and one in Xialinn. They all have to deal with the chambers of commerce and fleets in the city. According to Furno, Greber is not popular with the Maritime Bureau.
After making a preliminary judgment on Gleber Chamber, Donald directed the topic to the shipwreck accident half a year ago.
"I knew you would definitely ask this. During that time, several media came to visit this matter almost every day, and our answer was unified and unspeakable. We just went to sea, entered port, and searched and rescued at sea. Other matters were not within the scope of our affairs."
The Maritime Bureau is not a gossip news agency. The effect of saying some words from them and from others may be very different.
"I just want to know the details of the accident at that time, such as who died on the ship, how they died, the weather conditions at sea when the ship was in trouble, etc."
Everyone has their own subjective consciousness, and absolute justice never exists. Furno wanted to avoid talking about some secrets, so Donald simply asked him about the detailed process of the shipwreck at that time, which was within the scope of the Maritime Bureau's work, and they had no reason not to know.
During the conversation, some content will naturally be said according to the other party's words.
"Oh... you don't need to ask around the bush. I can probably guess what you want to know from me. Although our Maritime Bureau relies on the status of the government agency to avoid public opinion in that incident, I do know some inside information, but I will not say it. I just promised Cook to provide you with some information and some of my views, and did not promise without reservation. Half a year has passed, and I don't want to have any more storms."
Everyone is pursuing a peaceful life. The incident that happened half a year ago was like that. Furno saw it and he didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
He made things worse, and in the end he couldn't make sure he could stay out of the matter again. After all, he was sitting in this position half a year ago.
"If the storm has already started, you wouldn't think that the anchor was really hit on Vice Chairman Greber because of the collapse of the shipwreck wreck as mentioned in the newspaper. I was at the scene at that time. The location of the lecture table at the press conference was at least 5 meters away from the shipwreck wreck. How can the linkage achieve this?"
If you want to know some special inside information, you naturally have to think of some special methods.
"What do you mean?"
After reading the newspaper, he was also suspicious of the contents, but because it was not related to him, he had no extra thoughts.
Most people think so.
All Donald had to do was tell Furno that there were things that could not be avoided just by wanting to.
"That's right, I don't hide some things from you. Diliya and I came to you just to track down the anchor that suddenly appeared. I think Mr. Furno should have heard some rumors, especially the recording. You should have heard it earlier than Professor Cook, right? Don't you have any unique ideas?"
The recordings in Professor Cook's hand come from the Maritime Bureau. As a government department, the Maritime Bureau obviously does not disclose them casually, but since Furno has gotten it, there is no reason he hasn't heard of it.
"I think this supernatural phenomenon...we are focusing on science now, and I don't think it really exists..."
"On July 15, Osweaver Sea, moderate rain, the first ship, under Greber."
"On July 23, Osweaver Sea, heavy rain, the second ship, under Greber."
"On August 1, the Osweaver Sea, heavy rain, the third ship, under Greber... There are two more ships. The situation is the same. I have a problem. As Mr. Furno, who specializes in maritime affairs within the Maritime Bureau, can explain why the five shipwrecks in the recent past are all from Greber Chamber of Commerce. Even the timing of the shipwreck is so coincidental, it is all rainy!"
Donald leaned against the back of the chair behind him, and Finger jumped onto his legs and called out softly. Furno, behind the table, suddenly became silent.
"This is a highly targeted revenge activity, just like the accident that killed the vice chairman of the Greber Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Some existence has come back, and of course you can say nothing, but I can guarantee that this matter is not over!"
Strike while the iron is hot, Donald doesn't believe that Furno doesn't care about the constant problems at sea.
"On March 26, the Osweaver Sea, with a rare thunderstorm, the real first ship sunk this year under Greber, with deaths, 30 people, and the fleet involved compensation, 500 gold pounds."
