He was on site, so it was simpler that way.’ The lieutenant shrugged. ‘Is there anything else I can do?’
‘Where can I find the city archives?’ Darius opened the folder and skimmed the first page.
‘In the administration building.’ The officer sighed heavily. ‘That colossus with the whitewashed walls.’
‘Good, thank you.’ Bleist closed the documents and picked them up. Rex moved silently closer and took the bundle. ‘Can you tell me anything about this crime?’
‘Not much.’ The lieutenant shook his head. ‘All I know is that this situation arose, so I sent the medic and a few rookies to check it out. They came back with the body and everything they found. As Oxern suggested, I sent a report to headquarters along with a request for investigators to be sent. After that, I forgot about it.’
‘Hmmm… In that case, I suppose we’ll start by speaking to the surgeon. Thank you very much, Lieutenant.’ Darius stood up and began to get ready to leave. ‘By the way…’ He stopped mid-step. ‘I’d like to ask you to arrange accommodation for our unit.’
‘Of course, no problem at all.’ The lieutenant didn’t seem particularly pleased, but he was certainly somewhat relieved for some reason. ‘The Citadel is large, and our garrison… Well, there will certainly be plenty of room for you, Colonel, and the rest of the Guardsmen.’
Bleist nodded in thanks and walked towards the door.
‘See you later, Lieutenant.’ Earl stepped out into the corridor, escorted by the officer.
