Soon, Estelle and Joshua saw the person who was in charge of leading them. It was a young lady who didn't look much older than them. She had the same silver-white hair as Ellie and was wearing a black police uniform and a beret. According to her self-introduction, her name was Auolia. She used to be a Level A guerrilla in the Crossrail Guerrilla Association. She was now working at the Crossrail Police Station. Perhaps it was because of this that she was sent to lead them to work.
But the first thing they had to do was …
"Uniform?"
Looking at the black vest on the table in front of her with the words "Auxiliary Police" written on the back, Estelle was a little stunned.
"Are we going to wear this to work?"
"Of course. The police are public servants. Although they will act in plain clothes during searches and investigations, they still have to wear uniforms during normal work and patrol missions. This is the only way people will come to us for help. It's just like the badge of a guerrilla. If you don't wear the badge, no one will treat you as a guerrilla. "
The two did not say much after hearing Auolia's explanation. They quickly put on their clothes and followed Auolia to begin the "patrol".
"We're responsible for patrolling the entire east and west districts today."
"What exactly are we going to do?"
After changing her clothes, Estelle followed Aurelia excitedly and asked. As a Guerilla, she was used to going to the Guerilla Association to accept requests and complete the mission. Although there were occasionally missions like patrolling the fields to protect them from being ravaged by wild beasts, this was the first time she was doing a patrol like this.
Meanwhile, Estelle was also very excited. She wanted to see what she could do.
"Well … the main thing is to patrol and see if there's anything suspicious in the surroundings. If there's a dispute, we'll go up and deal with it. In short … you'll know when you see it."
Shortly after, under Aurelia's lead, the three of them began their patrol work. They strolled along the streets and observed the crowds around them. The tree-lined scenery on both sides of the street, as well as the guided vehicles speeding through the middle of the road gave them a sense of satisfaction and comfort.
It didn't take long for them to find a job.
"Ah, Miss Officer, please help me!!"
The first person who came forward to ask for help was an old lady. She said that she had gone out for a walk and bought some ingredients for lunch. However, when she arrived at the food store, she realized that her wallet had disappeared. Just as she was feeling anxious, she saw Aurelia and the others on patrol, so she hurriedly came forward to ask for help.
"Please leave it to us!"
Hearing this, Estile instantly became excited and patted her chest confidently. Wasn't it just looking for the wallet? She had done this kind of task many times, so she was very familiar with it! Estelle believed that as long as the old lady could tell her where she had been, she should be able to find the wallet!
But … perhaps because the old woman was old and her memory wasn't very good, she hemmed and hawed in the face of Estelle's questions. There were many things that she couldn't explain clearly. This was even more of a headache for Estelle, who had just arrived.
"Ugh … this …"
"Alright, alright, don't be so nervous."
At that moment, Aurelia came forward with a smile, clapped her hands, and nodded to the old lady.
"Please rest assured, we will definitely find your lost wallet. By the way, there's a security booth nearby. You can take a rest here first."
As she spoke, Aurelia brought the old lady to a small room near the market. There was also a man in a police uniform on duty here. Aurelia said a few words to him, and the latter immediately brought tea to the old lady. Then, Aurelia brought Estelle and Joshua into the room inside.
"Wow, what's this!?"
Walking into the room, Estelle couldn't help but cry out. Unlike the outside, there were no windows in this room. The dark walls of the room were full of glowing crystal screens, and they could even see the surrounding scene.
"Sorry to trouble you. An old lady reported that she lost her wallet. She's wearing a red coat and stopped in front of the fish market in Area B3."
Aurelia said to a bespectacled girl in a police uniform sitting in front of these screens. The latter nodded, stretched out her hand, and tapped on the keyboard for a while. Soon, the image on the screen in the middle began to change. Not long after, the scene of the market appeared. Then, the entire image began to reverse. After a while, an old lady appeared on the screen.
"Huh? Isn't that the old lady? We're on there too!! "
Seeing this scene, Estelle's eyes widened in surprise. She stretched out her hand and pointed at the screen. On the screen, Aurelia, Estelle, and Joshua were also standing there, talking to the old lady. Aurelia nodded in agreement.
"That's her."
"Okay."
Hearing Aurelia's answer, another police officer pushed up his glasses, then tapped on the keyboard again. Then, the image began to reverse again. Everyone saw time flowing backwards on the screen. The old lady walked backwards out of the fish market, then to the market, the sidewalk, the park, a stroll …
"Ah, it's here!"
Aurelia, who was staring at the screen, suddenly exclaimed. At the same time, the image paused.
"Zoom in."
The image zoomed in again. Then, everyone saw the old lady walking over from the other side of the park. She stopped for a moment on the street and saw a stall selling snacks next to her. The old lady walked forward with a smile, took out some money from her wallet, and bought a few snacks. She put them in her pocket, then turned around and left. Just as she was about to put the wallet back into her pocket, it accidentally slipped. Instead of putting the wallet back into her pocket, it slipped and fell into the grass beside the sidewalk.
"It's here, the sidewalk of the Harbor District park … Area D9!"
After that, everyone went to the place they saw on the screen and quickly found the old lady's lost wallet. Then, they returned it to the old granny. The old granny was so happy that she couldn't help but thank the three of them before leaving.
"I didn't expect to find lost items in this way. How did you do it?"
Looking at the old lady's receding voice, Estelle asked in disbelief. Aurelia giggled.
"Do you see those conductive lights?"
"Yeah …."
"Actually, in addition to illuminating, those conductive lights can also be used for surveillance."
"… Surveillance?"
"Yeah, they can monitor the surrounding area all day long. They will also record everything that has happened. So, not to mention finding lost items, they can even find lost children or missing people with ease."
"That's great …."
Estelle could not help but feel emotional. When she and Joshua traveled as guerrillas, they had also taken on many missions to find lost children or lost items. These missions were not very dangerous, but they were very troublesome. Every time they wanted to find the target, it would take them far more effort than bringing them back.
If there were such devices in other places, it would be much easier to find people.
"Not only that, if there's a case, we can quickly find the culprit."
Aurelia grew more and more excited as she spoke.
"Whether it's theft, robbery, or murder, it's impossible to escape from the Skynet. Unless they can disappear instantly, they'll definitely be caught by us! That's why the crime rate in Crosbell has decreased a lot. Only those idiots from other places will foolishly come here to seek death. "
Aurelia looked at the street in front of her happily as she spoke. As Klossbell's guerilla warrior, she naturally hoped to serve Klossbell. But in the past, what guerrillas could do was very limited, and the number of guerrillas in Crosbell was very small. No matter how hard they worked, they could not cope.
Not only that, even if they completed the missions again and again, Crosbell's situation did not improve. This made Aurelia feel a little tired.
But now, it was completely different.
The whole of Crosbell had changed. The threats that troubled everyone in the past no longer existed. Aurelia could also contribute her strength to the stability of Crosbell. She was no longer doing useless work like before.
Strictly speaking, after becoming a police officer, she would not get paid for all the missions like a guerrilla. Instead, she would only get a specific salary and bonus. But Aurelia did not care about these small problems. On one hand, she had already saved up a lot of Mira when she was active as a quasi-A guerrilla. At that time, there were too many missions and she did not even have the time to spend money, so she just saved up. Now, it seemed to be a good thing.
On the other hand, she had enough Mira now. After all, as a government official, Aurelia had been assigned a house of her own. The police station also provided free meals, so she did not need to spend money on most places.
Of course, she would occasionally encounter some troublesome matters.
Like now …
"Heh heh heh, what's the matter? Come have a drink with us."
After a day of patrolling, the three of them planned to go home. But at that moment, when they passed by the entertainment street, they encountered a very unpleasant scene.
In front of an open-air tavern not far away, two young men were pulling at a maid, who was shaking her head desperately.
"Customers, please let go of me!"
"What's the matter? We're customers too. Aren't you supposed to serve us?"
As he said that, one of the young men reached out to pull the maid down and made her sit beside him. The maid was trembling in fear, not daring to move.
"Wait, what are you doing?!"
Seeing this scene, Estelle could not help but step forward.
"Let go of that girl!"
"What does it have to do with you?"
The young man glanced at Estelle and snorted coldly.
"I'm a customer here. I can do whatever I want. It's none of your business."
"If you don't let go of her, I won't go easy on you!"
Estelle immediately clenched her fists, but Joshua hurriedly pulled her back.
"Don't be impulsive, Estelle."
"Ugh, but …"
At that moment, Aurelia walked out.
"I'm Police Officer Crossdale. Let go of that girl immediately."
"Police?"
Hearing Aurelia's words, the two young men turned to look at Aurelia. Then, their eyes lit up.
"This lady is quite pretty. Why don't you come and have a drink with us?"
Hearing this, Estelle clenched her fists.
That's not what they said when they saw me just now!
"This is a warning. If you don't obey, we'll arrest you according to the law."
However, facing the young men in front of her, Aurelia still said with a smile.
"Hmph, arrest? My father is a member of the parliament of the republic!"
Having said that.
One of them stood up and pounced at Aurelia in a drunken manner.
"I'd like to see what you can do to me!"
"Hah!!!"
Just as the young man made his move, Aurelia grabbed his arm and pressed it with a backhand. Then, she immediately threw the man to the ground.
"Dre! You despicable woman!! "
Seeing that his companion had been thrown to the ground, the other man also pounced over with a roar. Then, he was knocked to the ground by Estelle, who could no longer hold it in.
Then, Aurelia strode forward, took out handcuffs from her waist, and cuffed the two men's hands.
"You've been arrested for harassing and assaulting police officers!"
Looking at the two idiots on the ground, Auolia announced with a smile on her face. She was in high spirits.
Sure enough, being a police officer is much more interesting than being a guerrilla!
