All Cross meant, in my view, was that there's something that requires your attention in Bucks Row. It's a police matter, so for Cross to say "You are wanted in Bucks Row" is the same as "needed", that his presence is needed in Bucks Row.
It's only because Cross used "wanted", that Mizen immediately may have thought of "by whom, must be a fellow constable - who else knows I'm here?"
Mizen simply got the wrong impression.
This was my view all those years ago before you embarked on this hypothesis, which is why I've never debated it since.
I just disagree with your conclusion.
