Chapter 2 Extermination
"When will this ghost weather end?"
In the police station of Reinas, Sheriff Ferguson picked up a coffee cup and took a sip, and said to himself,
Looking at the lead-gray clouds outside that seemed to never dissipate, his mood would become depressed with the drowsy sky during this period of year.
"Sheriff, I bought breakfast, a grilled sausage, a small piece of bread from the butter workshop, and a recent newspaper, all of them are here."
The police officers under him put a breakfast on the sheriff's desk, dragged a chair from the side, and ate his own breakfast on his own.
"Including the breakfast you bought for the other days of the week, it's a total of 3pence, take it."
Throwing three coins to the table in front of his subordinates, Ferguson picked up the newspaper casually, ate the grilled sausage, and looked at the contents above, paused and continued,
"Hey, the solar eclipse phenomenon more than a month ago is still being reported, but I just can't find the reason. Do you still remember the situation during that time? Someone said something about the doomsday signs all day long, and what stars representing the God of Justice suddenly faded... I don't know what the writers of the news agency thought. It's been so long, and I haven't heard of something in the empire. The Justice Sect is still there, without any storm."
"When talking about this, when the weather was clear, I looked at the star specially. Not only was it not bright, I couldn't even find it... Remember Judge Thomson in the city, he was a devout believer of the Justice Sect. It is said that during the accident, he was in a bad spirit. He rested at home for more than ten days before returning to the court. There was also the stone slab dug out a few months ago. Recently, there are more and more rumors about it. The Literary Sect has translated the entire translation, and the content seems to be a bit... "
"It's been translated? What's the content?"
The thing about slate is one of the biggest hot news in Renas in recent months. Almost as long as some new news appears, it will immediately attract newspapers to reprint it. As long as it is in Renas, there is no one who does not pay attention to it.
"I think... a god is coming. He is wearing a gray robe and a dark golden crown... He walks in the world, and anyone who is guilty will be punished, and anyone who believes in him will receive blessings... I can't remember what comes later, I only know so much."
The police officer recalled what he saw in the newspaper booth when he was out. Someone happened to be passing by behind him. Then the chair under his butt pulled back. The police officer who was eating the grilled sausage fell back without any surprise, and the grilled sausage in his hand fell to the ground.
"Hahaha~ I can fall to the ground even if I eat a grilled sausage. After all, I am from a slum. I am used to eating on the ground and can't even serve it."
Someone stood behind the fallen police officer and laughed loudly. Whether it was a pocket watch with gems inlaid or a gold ring on his finger, it showed the identity gap between him and the young man on the ground who could only wear wrinkled police uniforms.
"Benson! Did you eat too much shit last night, so today I came to the police station with my mouth full of feces?"
As the sheriff, Ferguson naturally couldn't stand it, not to mention that he was not in the way of dealing with the other party. One was a civilian, the other was a rich man, the other was a conscientious policeman, and the other was a villain who spent all day and collected protection fees everywhere. The two of them had never given each other a good face.
"Ferguson, put your fucking mouth clean!"
"Forget it, sheriff, it was me who was accidentally, it had nothing to do with Sheriff Benson."
The policeman got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and gritted his teeth to smooth things over.
"Hmph, look at him, he is also a pariah, he is much more sensible than you."
"You bastard..."
"Boss, calm down!"
"Damn it, don't let me find a chance, otherwise I will give him some ruthlessness even if I don't fight this sheriff!"
At the end, Ferguson sat down with a gloomy face. Looking at the subordinate who looked no better than him, he stuffed all the coffee into his stomach with one mouthful of it.
"Boss, you can't have this kind of idea. You are the only sheriff from our civilian area. That guy is deliberately angering you. If you really fight with him, you will suffer the loss at that time. If even you are angry, who will help those people in the civilian area in the future?"
"I know, but everyone has been riding up, who can stand it? What's more, you don't know the situation in the police station now. There is only one possibility to change the status quo, that is, the bastards in Renas died suddenly overnight! Hey, the content on the stone slab you just said is that everyone who is guilty will be punished? If it can be realized, I will definitely be a believer of that guy immediately..."
Bang!
Before Ferguson finished speaking, a police officer suddenly rushed in from outside the door, and said with a pale face: "What happened... something happened. Mr. David's family was murdered last night."
Not one person, but the whole family!
"David? Which David?"
As soon as he heard of the murder, Ferguson immediately jumped out of his chair, and Benson nearby shouted directly.
"Tobacco dealer, Dory David! When the milkman came to his house this morning, he found blood flowing out of the crack of the door. The nearby patrolman went over and knocked the door open and found several broken bodies in the house."
"I'll be responsible for this case. When the Superintendent comes back later, you tell him, let's go!"
Benson grabbed the coat that had just taken off and hung it on the chair and rushed out. Ferguson sat down with a strange expression.
After working as a sheriff for two years, Ferguson also knew some of the unspoken rules and insider information. Dory David relied on selling inferior tobacco and secretly worked as a loan shark. It is said that he also has connections with local gangs and often gives gifts to the police station in order to seek asylum.
It is precisely because of this that Benson was so nervous after knowing that something happened to David's family. After all, he was a regular guest on the invitation list of banquets held by others.
"It's good to die. This kind of bastard should have died long ago. If some bastards in the police station had not been protecting him, I would have sent him to prison."
My depressed mood immediately felt much more relieved when I heard this "good news".
"Boss, we were just talking about the contents on the stone slab. Now a sinful person has been punished. Do you think it will be..."
"You really believe it? I think someone must be unable to see it, so I found an opportunity to avenge those who have been bullied and persecuted. Hey, although it is not good to say this as a policeman, I still want to say it is beautiful."
Ferguson held the grilled sausage in his mouth, turned around and picked up his coat, and continued,
