In the name of the true god

Chapter 68 Stefan Nolan

Is the person who invites you to dance your boss?

Jude's mind went blank for a moment.

He had been working at the Royal Capital Heavy Prison for less than a month. Apart from his brother Connor and sister-in-law Steele, the prison's higher-ups had only met another deputy warden, Chambers, and the chief guard in charge of death row and solitary confinement wards, Phoenix.

The head guard of the ordinary prison ward couldn't even remember what the first-level guard looked like, let alone his name.

"Really?" Jude suspected that Allen and Anders were teasing him.

"We'll be rotating to the regular prison ward soon. You can find a chance to see for yourself then." Allen looked like he was enjoying the show.

"Really? Holy crap—"

"Jude, Jude, what did she say to you?" Anders pressed.

Jude also turned his gaze to the entrance and exit of the ballroom, but unfortunately, the head guard Melanie was nowhere to be seen: "They were just chatting. She said she came over to pick a marriage partner—"

"Your marriage partner?" Allen asked in surprise. "Then why did you leave after only a short time?"

She said it was boring here.

"Why would someone ask you to dance if they're not interested?"

"I—" Jude remembered that Melanie had invited him out for drinks, "I don't understand either."

"What's wrong?" Colin asked, seeing the three of them huddled together. He stepped forward, exasperated. "Ten grams of drinks, and you're just sitting here like this?"

Allen laughed and said, "Guess who just asked Jude to dance?"

"Who?"

"Melanie".

"Melanie? Melanie Gilbert?"

"right."

"My God—" Colin's expression changed, he pushed Anders aside and moved closer to Jude, "Why is she here too? What's going on between you two?"

Jude then repeated the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Colin gave Jude a light punch to the chest: "You've got some charm, kid, managing to catch Warden Melanie's eye. She's notoriously hot-tempered; she's given us a good scolding before—"

"What do you mean by 'looking at someone' or 'looking at someone'? We just danced together." Jude quickly stopped him. "Don't spread this around, or people will gossip."

"Hehe, it's not a bad thing. Who knows, when you're rotated to the regular prison ward, they might even want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you," Colin said gloatingly.

Jude grew increasingly agitated by the various jokes and racked his brains to find a new topic.

Before long, he actually thought of something: "Speaking of which, the prison's punishment for her hasn't been announced yet."

Five days ago, a prison break occurred in the general prison block 1, which is overseen by Melanie Gilbert.

It was because of this incident that Jude and the Descent of God intensified their rescue plan, fearing that the church faction in the prison would take the opportunity to cause trouble and transfer the thirty-nine implicated wizards and resonance sorcerers to the church temple.

Colin persisted: "I haven't heard that she was demoted. Why don't you find a chance to ask her? You're all familiar with each other, you've danced together before."

""

Jude: "————"

'

The next day.

October 26th, 448th year of the Divine Calendar, Friday.

Captain Foster and his older brother Killian also learned from Colin about Jude and Warden Melanie dancing.

Finally, he couldn't resist a bit of teasing, saying that if he really got together with Melanie, he would be all-powerful in the capital's heavy prison.

Jude, being a vigorous and energetic young man, did not object to dating women, nor did he mind if the other woman was older than him.

However, the thought that Melanie was his superior, and that she was known for her fiery temper in prison, completely extinguished any desire for them to get to know each other better.

October 27, 448 of the Divine Calendar, Saturday.

According to prison regulations, rotating guards will take a half-day "rest break" before their night shift to adjust their schedule.

Jude certainly wouldn't waste such a good opportunity, and in the afternoon he drove directly to the police station in the northern dock area of ​​the capital.

The police stations in this other world are decorated in a classical revival style and are usually "one-stop" law enforcement centers, encompassing various functions such as police offices, court trials, and temporary detention.

Because telephones were not widely available, citizens reporting crimes had to come in person, resulting in the police station reception hall being overcrowded and chaotic.

"I want to report this to the police! My wallet has been stolen!"

'

"I've been here several times already, why is there no progress in this case at all?"

""

"Calm down! Explain the situation in its entirety!"

"If a passerby saw that you started the fight, and you cannot provide stronger evidence to prove that you are the victim, then we have the right to put you in jail!"

""

"Which case is it? Who received you? Go find them. I have dozens of cases on my hands; I don't have time to ask around for you."

Inside the reception hall, citizens who came to report the case and the police officers who received them were arguing noisily.

Jude picked at his ear and saw a police officer taking a break to walk towards the restroom, so he quickly went to meet him.

"What are you doing?" The officer turned around impatiently when he heard footsteps. "The police station's restrooms are not open to the public. If you need to use the restroom, you have to find a place outside."

"I'm looking for Detective Stefan Nolan," Jude stated politely. "Where is he now?"

"How would I know where he is?" the officer said irritably. "Go find him yourself."

""

Having finally encountered a lone police officer, Jude was not about to let him go easily: "I'm a prison guard at the Royal Capital Heavy Prison. I need to talk to him about some work-related matters."

Seeing that Jude was barely a colleague, the officer softened his tone a bit: "Do you need to contact him about work-related matters? He should be patrolling the docks. If you're not in a hurry, go to the office and wait for him."

"Thank you." Having learned Stefan Nolan's approximate location, Jude struggled to squeeze out of the police station's reception hall and looked towards the dock area directly in front of him.

We don't even know how long we'll have to wait.

It seems I still have to rely on myself.

He silently asked himself, "Where is Detective Stefan Nolan of the Montorles North Dock District Police Station in my direction?"

Detective Stefan Nolan of the Montorres North Dock District Police Station, what direction are you in now?

Detective Stefan Nolan of the Montorres North Dock District Police Station, what direction are you in now?

The answer is south.

south?

Jude turned to look at the police station.

In other words, Stefan Nolan wasn't patrolling at all, but was currently working at the police station?

Depend on----

This police officer is really unreliable.

If he hadn't used the Law of Contact to question the occupants and had just foolishly gone to the docks, wouldn't he have wasted half a day? Jude silently muttered to himself before squeezing back into the reception hall to search for Stefan Nolan's whereabouts.
