Chapter 136 - It’s An LV
"Sit." The Inspector said and opened a file. He then shouted, "Constable, take an FIR report from this lady."
The constable looked at her from top to bottom once as he beckoned her to his seat. Just when Re'Kha planned to head there, her body failed to budge as an irritated voice rang out from her, "Look, I already told everything through the phone. You should trace the thugs first before they switch off my mobile phone."
"Look here, lady," The Inspector spoke with a frown, "Don't tell us what to do. This is our job. We know what to do."
"I'll sue…" Re'Kha took in a deep breath, controlling herself from speaking out the rest. She focused, barely managing to shut her mouth as she opened it a second later, "I'll file an FIR. But please consider what we have said."
The Inspector still maintained his frown, but it softened by a bit as he looked at another constable, "Is anyone on this case?"
"The culprits are the Hari and Giri brothers. Only they are active on MG road this early in the morning." A constable replied.
"The Hari and Giri brothers…" The Inspector muttered, feeling a headache building up in him as he massaged his forehead. He looked at Re'Kha, "Fill the FIR."
"Fine," Re'Kha approached the designated constable as she gave the necessary details. After noting down everything, the constable asked, "What colour is your purse?"
"It's an LV," Re'Kha replied, feeling her eyelids twitch as she felt annoyed internally at the woman's character.
The constable looked at her in confusion, "And…what colour is an LV? Light Blue?"
"It's a brand…" Re'Kha looked around, feeling a lot of information pour into her head as said, "I can show it to you on google."
"Please," The constable said as he pushed the keyboard towards her. The moment Re'Kha touched the keyboard, an instinct of sorts enveloped her as her fingers danced on it. Three seconds later, she pulled up the image of the bag and showed it to the constable, "It's this bag."
The constable looked at the bag as inhaled a sharp breath, "Is it made from gold?"
"It's an LV." She replied automatically, cursing the character mentally as she iterated, "It's…not."
"Then this price makes no sense." The constable grumbled as he got up and left. His grumbling voice was audible to her, "My three years' worth of salary for a stupid bag. These rich people are…ugh."
Re'Kha didn't comment anything despite hearing his grumbling. She was controlling her character from flipping out for no reason once again.
'Someone that has a ridiculous amount of ego for no reason.' That was her opinion of the character.
The constable entered the room nearby and came out with a printout, stating to the Inspector about her case. It seemed they were either done with the pending work or some of them were already on other cases; so, they were able to spare time for her case immediately.
The constable pointed at the place on the printed map, "Her phone was switched off at this place. It's one of the shops that deal with theft electronics."
"Let's get going then," The Inspector stood up as he looked at Re'Kha, "We'll inform you when we find it. Leave any other contact info here."
"I'll come too," Re'Kha said, unwilling to miss the action. After all, she wasn't guaranteed a lead until the snatchers were caught. And, if it took more than a day, then she would have failed the quest.
Thankfully, this was a forced quest, so it didn't come with any penalties. Otherwise, the situation would have become riskier.
The goal of her visit this time was to see if this trip to Earth would sever her connection with the Blinded Ghost. But, that didn't mean she could just fail her mission and not earn any Prana Stones. That would be worse. At least, if she obtained any, she would have been able to give them to Mu'Tua as compensation.
"You?" The Inspector laughed sarcastically, "Lady, this is not your office. Your life would be at risk if come with us."
Information related to the lady in her thirties resounded in her head as Re'Kha swiftly thought of a reason, showing her resolve, "It's not the price of the purse that matters. What matters are the documents in it that would save lives. And, only I can recognise their worth. For anyone else, they would just look like regular papers."
"What are those documents?" The Inspector frowned.
"I can't say that," Re'Kha shook her head, "But, I can tell you that the livelihood of many are dependent on it."
"If it is something that important, why did you keep it in the purse in the first place…" The Inspector grunted as he waved his hand, irritated, "Suit yourself."
He shouted, "Damodar and Saadhav, come with me."
The constables named Damodar and Saadhav immediately got up from their seats and accompanied them to their jeep. Re'Kha boarded the seat on the back; Damodar drove while the Inspector sat to his left. Seated behind his seat was Saadhav, and to his right was Re'Kha.
The jeep plied through the road as it swam through the traffic. The constable Saadhav kept in touch with the team that was tracking her phone while the Inspector conversed with the police from other stations, asking for any details about the one they were pursuing.
Re'Kha tried to activate her Wind Qi perception like usual, finding that she was unable to do so. It was as if such a concept didn't exist here. Moreover, she noticed a certain object holstered to the Inspector's hip, feeling a sense of fear from it.
The information related to it flowed into her mind as some related memories flashed. Re'Kha shuddered at the might the object had, 'So, this is a gun.'
This was her first Quest that involved the police and the thugs, so she came across things that she hadn't in her previous explorations.
The roads started to get slightly bumpy and narrow as the jeep stopped. The Inspector looked at Damodar, "Stay here."
He then looked at the remaining constable, "We'll check through the shop then."
