The third floor of Bronte Department Store directly faces Weinstein Hospital.
To avoid another assassination attempt on Lu Li, City Hall soldiers took over this place after Lu Li was sent to the hospital.
Mayor Matthias stood by the window, across the wide mist-shrouded street, a silhouette leaned against the window in a lit ward.
"His Excellency Lu Li won't like us doing this."
An assistant's sigh echoed from behind.
"I'll apologize later and hope he understands me," Mayor Matthias wearily pinched his brow. "How is the investigation going?"
"The assassin is from Little Henry Town downstream of the railway. He had a brother but he died two years ago after becoming a Cleaner due to contamination, then he came to Vena Ice-Free Port alone."
"How did he get here?"
"Along the railway. Like many villagers, he yearned for this place but he couldn't afford a ticket, so he walked along the tracks to Vena Ice-Free Port and had some contact with gangs once he arrived."
