The officer nodded thoughtfully. "It's men like you who keep our city alive. But lately, thefts have risen. Have you seen anything strange on these roads at night?"
Banguin chuckled softly. "Only stray dogs chasing shadows, sir. But last week, near the old market, a man in a black shawl lingered too long, watching the shops."
Intrigued, the officer leaned closer. "Tell me more. Did he carry anything?"
"Just a bag, heavy-looking. He vanished when a patrol passed by," Banguin replied, his eyes sharp despite his age.
The officer smiled gratefully. "You've helped more than you know. Here's my card—call if you see him again. And Banguin, keep pulling strong; heroes wear no uniforms."
