"At the very least, it would be useful to know of any criminal elements who routinely operate in the area where the murder occurred. The evidence was pretty clear that this wasn't just some random murder, so it would be better than having a vague 'the black market' as their potential lead. </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Stranski smiles.<br/><br/>"It does, doesn't it? Perhaps the American's superior has information. As VoPo we will work this side of the case as thoroughly as we can, but we don't have any access to the American sector, and I find pursuing such things through the American Military Police... ...tedious." He shrugs.<br/><br/>"As to German black marketeers. I am not looking to for pity, gentleman, but I assure you that every German in intimately involved with the black market. Every piece of gristly sausage that would not have fetched a pfennig before the war, every cigarette, and yes, every silk stocking, comes to us through irregular channels."<br/><br/>"But if  those channels are not always safe, they do not melt holes through men, do they?"<br/><br/>He looks at his notebook again.<br/><br/>"Constable Steiner has worked that beat since before the war. He made Wachtmeister, ah, you'd consider him a sergeant, twice. Unfortunately a love of schnapps and fighting saw him demoted twice as well. Not a member of the party. Either then, or now. If there are serious contenders in the black market in that region, Constable Steiner would know."<br/><br/>"I will warn you though. That region, the tenements took a lot of damage through the war. Owners are difficult to find, maintenance and repair are minimal. They are all scheduled for demolition, but for now they hold refugees, squatters, criminals, and the desperate. They are almost lawless."<br/><br/><br/>
