MTL - Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship

 Chapter 666 Lan Qi doesn’t compete with the steamed buns for the breath

 It was dark at night, and the streets of Huadu were still lively and busy. Only in the heart of the city, inside the police station, was a different scene.

The Parrieux Police Station, officially known as the "Parieux Police Headquarters", is an agency with a long history responsible for maintaining public safety and order in the city of Parrieux and its suburbs.

ˆ As one of the most important police agencies in the Kingdom of Poisson, it is directly affiliated with the Ministry of Interior of the Kingdom of Poisson and is also supervised by the Municipal Government of Parrieux.

 This police station building built centuries ago is covered with traces of time.

Lanchi and Talia were in a cold cell deep in the police station, ruthlessly separated from freedom by an iron door. The dim light on the gray stone wall reflected the shadows of the two.

 The lock on the iron door is tightly closed.

 The silence lasted for a long time.

 “Lan Qi, I want to ask you a question.”

Thalia sat on her knees on the floor of the cell, her back straight.

 Although the environment would make most people panic, her eyes remained unmoved.

 She looked at Lan Qi gently.

On the other hand, Lan Qi looked depressed, leaning against the wall with one hand on his knee.

"tell me the story."

Lan Qi tilted his head and looked at her.

 “Why are the two of us here.”

Thalia asked as she looked at Lanqi.

 “Do you want to listen to what you are saying.”

Lan Qi immediately raised his head and looked at her.

Thousands of words are written in the eyes.

Logically speaking, there should be another trial now to review why the two of them were imprisoned in the police station, but he no longer dares to do so.

 He didn’t want to be caught five times.

To be honest, Lan Qi never thought that he would end up in a prison cell in his life. Even in the Northern Continent, he started as a cat with no identity and household registration, but he worked his way out steadily and never entered a police station.

 But he had only arrived in Huatu Parrieux when he was already sent to the police station.

“Anyway, haven’t we already successfully checked in one of the attractions?”

Thalia asked.

She had discussed the itinerary plan with Lan Qi before setting off. Another purpose of this trip to the Posen Kingdom was to cultivate a tacit understanding between the two of them. With the advice of Professor Borao, they had indeed agreed to travel together.

Among them, the Parrieux Police Headquarters is an important landmark. Its history can be traced back more than 300 years ago. It was founded by Jean-Baptiste Corbede, the Minister of Interior of Poisson during the reign of King Lanyi XIV of Poisson. .

 The original purpose was to improve the security level of Huatu Parrieu and manage the city's order more effectively.

Over the centuries, the agency evolved into a complex public service with a wide range of responsibilities, from traffic management to counter-terrorism operations to day-to-day policing.

“…Traveling with you is really impressive.”

Lan Qi had something to say and was speechless.

 Perhaps he will never forget this police station in his life.

 “We actually just said we lied and we could go out.”

Thalia thought to herself as she thought about it.

 The police officer actually didn't give them much trouble.

　　When brought to the police station for investigation, the police officer stated that he would let them go as long as they admitted that they were a couple.

However, the two of them would rather go to jail or be beaten to death and disagree with the police officer. In the end, they can only be classified as a fight.

 “Will you admit it?”

Lanci asked.

"Won't."

Thalia denied.

 “Do you think I’ll admit it?”

Lanqi asked again.

"Won't."

Thalia is still negative.

 “Then what is there to say?”

"Too."

 The two of them were passing the time like this.

I don’t know how long I stayed in the cell of this police station, maybe almost an hour.

 They have nothing else to do to pass the time except chatting with each other.

Although they are often prone to quarrels, their relationship may have improved compared to when they first met when they stayed together and couldn't talk to each other.

 Suddenly, the cell fell into silence again.

 The topic will always come to an end.

 “So hungry.”

Thalia touched her belly and felt that she hadn't eaten anything all night.

 “Here.”

Lanchi took out a small bag of coconut cheese biscuits from his pocket and threw it to Thalia.

Thalia caught it with some surprise.

She didn’t expect that Lan Qi, like Antanas, would bring snacks with him when he went out.

And he managed to evade search as if by magic.

 Obviously he has not had this habit before.

"are you not hungry?"

Thalia looked at the packaging bag and hesitated, then asked Lanqi.

"I don't."

Lanqi shook his head.

"You obviously didn't eat dinner either." Thalia stated the facts seriously.

 “I’m definitely not as hungry as you.”

Lan Qi replied matter-of-factly.

　　　…”

Talia hesitated to speak.

 I didn’t know whether to be angry or moved for a moment.

"half each."

Thalia tore open the packaging bag, broke the biscuits in half, and handed half to Lanci.

　　　…”

Lanqi hesitated slightly,

“Oh, you really like me, you are willing to share the only food I have.”

 Then he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

"you this…"

Thalia immediately wanted to eat all the cookies in one bite.

 But she found that if this was the case, it seemed that she had fallen into Lan Qi's trap again.

 Maybe he just wanted to motivate himself to finish the cookies alone.

 She directly raised her hand and handed the biscuit to Lan Qi's mouth.

 Lan Qi didn’t move, and neither did she.

Lan Qi could only helplessly hold the biscuit in his mouth, raised his head and chewed it.

As the time goes.

The silence in the corridor inside the police station was broken by the sound of footsteps.

The voice gradually got closer, and finally stopped in front of Lanqi and Thalia's cell.

I saw a middle-aged curly-haired police sergeant wearing a Parrieux police uniform, holding a large bunch of keys in his hand, came to Talia and Lanci's cell, and skillfully selected one of the keys from the bunch. The iron door opened with a "click".

 A new ray of light shines into this small space that has been lonely for a long time.

“You two, you can leave now, someone has bailed you out.”

The Sheriff took out a small card from his pocket and handed it to Lan Qi.

There are some concise words and an address written on it.

 The Palace of the Counts of Asturias.

 Signed Countess Rosalinda.

 Obviously, what is written on this piece of paper is the bailor's information.

"thank you."

 Lanqi followed the middle-aged police chief out, collected the card and thanked him.

“Young lovers should just have a fight and don’t fight on the street. We are strictly checking the security recently.”

The police sergeant turned around and glanced at them.

 “We are really not a couple.”

 They both emphasized a little angrily.

“Don’t come in next time. I may have to take a pair of photos of you in prison uniforms when you enter the palace for the second time. Those photos look like couple photos.”

The Sheriff didn't seem to care whether the two admitted or denied it.

The Parrieux Police Headquarters has a very wide range of responsibilities and is committed to protecting the safety of Parrieux citizens and tourists, covering many aspects such as public safety, criminal investigation, traffic management, anti-terrorism, and public event services. At the same time, the cameramen are also first-rate. There are also many people who come here to get their ID photos taken.

After taking the two people to the police station door, the police chief handed them a business card with his information clearly written on it, Chief Zefa.

“I am the sergeant of this police station. If you have any need for civil services in Parrieu, in addition to contacting the Hutton Embassy, ​​you can also contact us directly. We serve Huadu residents and tourists 24 hours a day.”

Sheriff Zefa said to the two people,

“In addition, I also do some divination work on weekends. If you need it, you can contact me.”

He also seemed to realize that the two of them were distinguished guests, and after all, they could be released on bail by Count Rosalinda of Asturias.

 Lanqi turned the business card over and saw the business content written by Chief Zefa.

 “Can you, a policeman, still sell information?”

Thalia glanced at the card in Lanqi's hand and said in surprise.

 “What information dealer? That’s called a fortune teller.”

Sheriff Zefa put his hands behind his back and said calmly,

 “And I don’t want money.”

 He only trades information for information or favors.

　　　…”

Lan Qi had nothing to say.

This city seemed freer than he imagined.

 There shouldn’t be a police sergeant who wears a hood as a side job.

Lanchi bid farewell to the Sheriff with Talia speechlessly.

Parieux Police Station is located on Ivan Island in the center of Huadu, close to the famous Church of Our Lady of Parrieux.

“To be honest, the traffic around the police station is quite convenient.”

Lanchi and Talia looked back at the first attraction they checked in to.

This building is not only a beautiful sight in the center of Parrieux, but also witnessed many important events in the history of the Kingdom of Poison, including the Poisson Revolution, the Northern and Southern World Wars, as well as some social movements and terrorist attacks in recent years.

 “Then let’s make an appointment next time?”

Thalia asked expressionlessly.

“Sister Tata, don’t do it, I’m really scared.”

Although Lan Qi now occasionally hears Thalia's jokes, he is really afraid that Thalia will be the one.

There is still one chapter that I haven’t finished coding. I’m still writing hard, trying to finish it before eleven o’clock.
