Chapter 810: Section 544: Me at This Moment (Part 2)
"Why do we still have to go out on patrol on such a snowy and windy night," Rhodes grumbled as he walked the streets of Copenhagen, barely managing to return from the battlefield only to be assigned the night shift. Even young people are human!
"Just shut it. There was such a horrifying murder at Chaofeng Tower at noon today that I’m afraid every policeman in the entire city must be dead busy. It’s just a night of patrol," his cousin glanced back at him, seemingly annoyed by his cousin’s complaints.
"Alright, Mr. Sudel, you and your cousin have just come back from the battlefield, indeed tired. We understand," said a member of the City Guard team walking behind the two brothers, trying to diffuse the tension between them with a smile.
In his eyes, these two young men had bright futures ahead of them—Sudel, the young cousin, was already a lieutenant, and his brother was a sub-lieutenant. They seemed to be not yet twenty years old. It’s such a pity I don’t have a daughter; marrying her off to them wouldn’t be a bad choice.
"Come on, Rhodes, Lord Malin is at the front now; at least do it for his sake," Sudel said to his cousin.
"I would have no problem if it were for Lord Malin, but our orders came from the military headquarters, weren’t we told that the military wouldn’t handle our affairs?" Rhodes retorted.
"The military pays our salaries, my cousin," Sudel replied.
"Ha, a month’s salary is precisely five Mowish standard coins, not even as much as I’d earn from patrolling here for one night," Rhodes loudly complained, yet his steps didn’t slow down as he continued onward with his cousin.
Today, their responsibility was the rich district of North City District—Copenhagen’s North City District is divided into two parts: the northeast side is the Noble District, and the northwest side is the rich district. They were in the northwest part today, working with eight other teams to patrol the streets of the entire rich district.
