When he heard Zhang Heng's last sentence, Fabino wondered if he had come to the wrong place. Was this still the southeast city? Was this still the chaotic place where criminals and villains were everywhere, and there was no rule of law at all?
In Fabino's impression, crimes were happening on the streets of the southeast city all the time, and only a few of them were solved. Even if it was a murder case, most of them were left unsolved. As for the robbery case, it happened six years ago. Only Fabino's confession was obtained. At that time, Fabino was furious. He still remembered that he spent most of his time cursing instead of describing the incident. It was impossible for him to catch the culprit.
If it weren't for the wooden box in his hand, Fabino would have patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder, laughed, and said that Zhang Heng's joke was good, but it would not help him in his next evaluation. However, Fabino looked at the ring in the box now, and he was sure that it was the one he lost six years ago. He almost messed up his marriage because of it.
After that, he spent a lot of effort to find it. Of course, he did not rely on the useless patrol team. Instead, he mobilized the family guards and the sheriff's help. In total, he dispatched almost two hundred people, which was almost a small army. Unfortunately, he still found nothing in the end.
It turned out that neither the guards sent by the sheriff nor his family's guards could carry out an investigation here. They couldn't get any help. This godforsaken place had its own set of rules, and the people here were obviously very xenophobic. Otherwise, the patrol team wouldn't have been reduced to mascots for so many years.
No matter how unhappy Fabino was, he could only admit that he was unlucky in the end. Considering that the family he married was quite prominent, he had to spend a lot of time to appease his future wife, and he even became the laughing stock of the upper class.
Fabino did not expect that one day he could find the engagement ring he lost. He closed the wooden box in his hand and took a deep breath, "Of course, I have been looking forward to this reunion for a long time."
After that, Fabino followed Zhang Heng and others to the patrol station.
Only then did the assessor realize that the patrol team had moved from the dangerous building without an owner to a newly built house. Not only was the area of the house larger, but it also looked much stronger. Considering the special environment of the southeast city, the family members still lived with the patrol team. This way, they could maximize their safety.
Aris's daughter, Viya, was still patrolling outside her new home, but this time, she was not carrying a slingshot. Instead, she was carrying a bow and arrows. The short bow on her back was given to her by Zhang Heng, and Zhang Heng also taught her archery skills. Since Zhang Heng met Lockheed, the tense situation had eased. Strictly speaking, Viya was not patrolling now. She was just practicing archery at the door.
"Sir Fabino," Viya saw the assessor from afar, put away her bow and arrows, and greeted him politely.
"Ha, you are Viya. Is it my illusion or something? You seem to have something more than two months ago." Naturally, Fabino also knew Aris's fierce daughter. She always dressed like a boy, lying in ambush at the patrol station. She would jump out of nowhere and threaten to blind strangers.
This was certainly not a good thing for the people who came to report the case. Fortunately, in Fabino's opinion, a blind person would not come to the patrol team to report the case. So in conclusion, Fabino did not have a bad opinion of Viya, who threatened to blind others.
However, he noticed that although Viya was still energetic, whenever she looked at Zhang Heng, her eyes would always show admiration and admiration. Fabino finally knew what Viya had gained. Ha, this wild monkey would actually be so obedient to a person.
Of course, Fabino knew who brought about the changes in the patrol team. Aris had been the captain of the patrol team in the southeast city for a long time. As an assessor, Fabino knew very well how capable he was. If Aris wanted to catch the person who robbed him six years ago and retrieve the engagement ring, the possibility of Fabino building a pyramid for himself was much higher than the possibility of Aris building a pyramid for himself.
So there was no doubt that the current changes in the patrol team were brought about by the oriental man beside him.
Fabino found that he was becoming more and more interested in the gladiatorial champion of the Amphitheatrum Flavium. But before he could get to know him better, Fabino had to meet an old friend first.
"Is he locked up here?" Fabino followed Zhang Heng into the backyard of the patrol station. There was a row of bamboo poles used to dry clothes. The house behind the bamboo poles was originally the torture room for Copper Arm and his men. After the patrol team gave it some simple modifications, it could be used as a temporary prison.
"Yes." Zhang Heng pushed open one of the prison doors.
The light in the room was a little dim, and six years had passed since the incident. However, Fabino still recognized the man in the room at a glance. It was the guy who brutally robbed and beat him on the street six years ago.
It was this bastard who pried open his fingers and snatched his ring when he shouted in pain. After that, he punched Fabino in the stomach twice. The physical pain was secondary, but the feeling of humiliation and helplessness became a psychological shadow that haunted Fabino for the rest of his life.
And now, he finally stood in front of his nightmare again. Just like Batman walking into the bat cave for the first time, he could face his fear and crush it.
"Your name is Sotheby, right? Do you remember me, asshole?" Fabino took two steps forward and sneered.
The man named Sotheby curled up in the corner like a frightened old dog. He raised his head when he heard the words, but a blank look appeared on his face when he saw Fabino.
Fabino frowned, turned around, and asked Zhang Heng behind him, "Did you torture him?"
"No, he was already like this when we found him. About two years ago, in a gang battle, someone cut his legs. He couldn't stay in the gang anymore, and he couldn't find another job. His wife and children left him, and he ended up living on the street, picking up leftovers to make a living. But you know, there are not many leftovers in this kind of place," Zhang Heng said lightly.
"How could this be?" Fabino was also a little absent-minded for a while. He had imagined countless times how to deal with his enemy after he found him in the future. Only then could he wash away the humiliation he had suffered in the past. But now, when he saw Zhang Heng's face, he felt that he had punched a ball of cotton after he clenched his fist.
