The police station had found the file and handed it to them.
"Listen, boys." The lower-ranking police officer said in a thick accent. "We usually don't give away cases to civilians at all, but I can't have my wife know about... our secret. Read it quickly, and get lost, especially you sly white-haired demon!"
Captain Clerval grinned. "Thank you. Your secret is safe with us, officer."
It was lucky that when the Captain and Stein were strolling at the park, the captain was observant of all the activities happening in the surroundings. He recognized this official's face and saw him with a giggling woman a while ago. There wasn't really anything wrong with that except he was wearing a ring and the woman wasn't.
Using this knowledge as an advantage is really tactless, but Walter Clerval has no sense of tact anyway when it comes to getting what he wants.
He and Stein looked at the records together. It was a witness report of Franklin and the personnel behind the crane itself.
