At dawn, after breakfast, Alice originally wanted to go to the manor first, but then she decided to go to the city hall to find out the situation.
The city hall of Xisha City is located in the middle of the three intersections. The surrounding transportation is convenient and there is a constant flow of cars and horses. Alice got off the carriage. At this time, the people in the city hall had begun to work. She walked towards the gate
The guard in front of her explained that she was entrusted by Sir Lurkav to investigate the case. Of course, she was not actually entrusted by Pokochin, she just said so.
The guard at the door saw that Alice was not very old, and was a little unconvinced. Fortunately, a security guard from the public security station came here to do business at this time. He and his boss Binx went to Huangsha Crossing and Mitikas to investigate the case, and they recognized her.
Alice, this allowed Alice to successfully enter the city hall.
After thanking him, the first thing Alice looked for was of course Deputy Mayor Bandera. Unexpectedly, when she arrived, she discovered that Mr. Epsilin was also here.
"Oh, you're here too." Epsilin had just come out of the deputy mayor's office. When he saw Alice here, he knew that she must be here to investigate the case, so he couldn't help but smile while stroking his beard.
Alice also smiled and said: "Mr. Epsilon came very early. Have you already asked the deputy mayor?"
"Do you want to know?"
"Why else would I be here?"
Epsilon said: "Would you like me to share the information I got with you? The deputy mayor seems a bit busy right now. I'm afraid you have to wait a long time."
Alice thought for a while and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to ask him myself."
"Oh, why? Or do you think I will hide something from you?"
Alice hurriedly said: "Of course it's not what sir thinks. It's just that there are some things that two people can better understand the situation face to face. And I think what I want to know may not be exactly the same as sir, so I'd better go in and ask myself."
Epsilin nodded: "You are right, then I wish you can get what you want. I have other things to know, so I will leave first."
Alice moved her fingers to him: "Goodbye."
After entering the office, Alice was invited to the rest area to drink water. Deputy Mayor Benjila was discussing something with his subordinate officials. Alice overheard a few words, which were all about work matters.
Half an hour later, Benjila hadn't finished her work. Alice had already drank several glasses of water, and she felt a little impatient. In addition, she didn't get enough sleep last night, so she lay down on the sofa and took a nap.
When I woke up, I was woken up by the sound of pouring water. Benjiela folded her legs and was sitting opposite Alice, holding a glass of cold water in her hand and smiling calmly: "Sorry, I woke you up."
."
"Ah." Alice rubbed her eyebrows to wake herself up faster: "When was it?"
Bandera is a middle-aged man, in his forties. He raised his head slightly and glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall behind Alice: "It will be time for lunch soon. Not as good as Alice
Miss, please accompany me to have lunch, and we can chat while eating."
Xisha is located in the Gobi Desert, and the climate is extremely hot in summer, which greatly affects people's appetite. However, the few dishes that Bandera ordered in the restaurant will make people feel their index fingers moving and salivation in their mouths at the first sight.
Bandera said: "This risotto with bayberry meat sauce made with pickled bayberries is my favorite. The sauce is very sour and delicious, and it will definitely satisfy your taste. And this desire
Dip shrimp is also a famous dish of this restaurant, which can improve people's appetite in the hot summer. The drink is coconut wine, which is actually similar to fruit juice. "
"Thank you, you are so thoughtful."
"It's nothing, I'm just sharing what I like with others."
After taking a bite of bayberry meat sauce rice, Alice couldn't help but nod her head. The shrimps were also delicious when dipped in them.
Bandera said: "I know you are here to learn about the murder of Mayor Khalid. If you want to know anything, just ask."
Alice wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "I want to know who knows the itinerary of Mayor Khalid's trip this time?"
Bandera smiled and said: "It's the same as what Mr. Epsilin asked before." He said: "The mayor's itinerary is specifically arranged by his secretary. Generally, the more important travel arrangements for meetings will be made after they are finalized.
Recording files at the city hall is for the safety of officials, as well as for many other reasons. As for Mayor Khalid’s trip this time, I think that in addition to him and his secretary and personal entourage, it should be
Only the record-keeping staff and I know. As for whether other officials will inquire from Mayor Khalid, I don’t know, but I think people around the mayor generally don’t know the details.
You can freely tell others about your arrangements, but this possibility cannot be ruled out."
Alice asked again: "Does anyone in the Lurkav Manor know about the itinerary?"
Bandera thought for a while and said: "I can only say that Sir and the mayor are related and very good friends. If it is Sir, he may know that Sir once sent a servant to the mayor when he had something to do.
I came here to inquire about the mayor’s whereabouts. As for this time, I don’t know.”
Alice said: "That means the servants in the manor may also know the mayor's schedule."
"Although this possibility is unlikely, it is not impossible." Bandera said: "In fact, it is very simple to ask for proof. You only need to ask Sir to see if he knows the mayor's schedule this time. If
If Sir doesn't know, then no one in the manor will know. If Sir knows, you can ask him if anyone has asked him or told anyone."
"Yeah." Alice nodded and added, "I still have a few questions. I want to know how Mayor Khalid's relationship is among his colleagues. Has he offended anyone?"
"It is certain that people will be offended." Bandera said: "No matter whether they are officials or ministers in the country, there must be people who are offended in this city. Khalid is a mayor, and sometimes he offends people in order to fight for the interests of the city.
That's a normal thing for fellow officials. But if you want to kill the mayor because of this..." Bandera shook his head: "I think it's not that big of a deal. But the mayor and Sir have really provoked a lot of trouble in order to develop this city.
People hold grudges, and this doesn’t just apply to fellow officials. Why do you ask that? Didn’t the investigation say that the mayor’s death was due to his involvement in the Jazz case?”

Is the relationship good?"
Bandela laughed: "I knew you would ask me."
"Mr. Epsilin also asked?"
"Well." Bandera said: "Mayor Khalid is very good to his colleagues in the city hall. Sometimes he loses his temper and severely reprimands his subordinates. But those are work-related matters and are far from what he expected.
To the point of killing him. As for the mayor and me, I have been working with the mayor for more than ten years. What do you think of my relationship with him?"
"Isn't that good?"
"It should be said that it is very good."
Alice nodded, took a sip of coconut wine, and said: "By the way, do you know what happened to Sir twenty-seven years ago, or what important things happened twenty-seven years ago?"
?"
Bandela shook his head: "Twenty-seven years ago, I was still young and was not transferred to work in Xisha. At that time, I was just a small government employee and I didn't know what was happening here."
"Oh, that's right."
Bandera said: "If you want to know, you can go to the city's archives to investigate. At that time, the city was just a small village, and there should not be many recorded historical files. I can issue a loan order to
You are the same as Mr. Epsilon."
"Thank you, you are very willing to help others."
Bandela smiled and said: "It depends on who is willing to help others. Besides, this serial murder case has been shrouded in Xisha City for too long. I also hope to catch the murderer as soon as possible. If there are no other problems, we..."
He was about to get up, but was stopped by Alice.
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished asking my question yet."
Bandela smiled: "You have so many questions. Tell me if you have any more questions."
