Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 17 True and False Detective
Shelley took Luke into the Cape District Secret Service office building.
On the way to meet the "new detective", Shelley gave Luke a brief introduction to the entire building.
The first floor of the Secret Service is the office area for ordinary imperial agents.
There is a training area underground, and below that is a dungeon.
The second floor is the office area for clerical staff and management.
The third floor has special functional departments such as the confidential information room and tactical mission meeting room.
In addition to the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau headquarters building, there are many safe houses, interrogation rooms and secret prisons scattered throughout the city.
"Inspector, there are 128 open Imperial spies working here, and 289 hidden Imperial spies.
After you officially become our detective, you can open their files and officially perform the duties entrusted to you by the Empire."
Luke followed Shelley.
If you didn't know this was the Secret Service, it would look like a commercial company.
And it is a commercial company with no business.
Most of the spies here are doing nothing, drinking tea, reading newspapers, and bragging together.
Even when he saw Shelley, he didn't show any restraint. It must be that Shelley does the same thing all the time.
The Cape District is a forgotten place where the empire's administrative capacity has been reduced to the lowest level. It has its own unique operating system that is not visible on the surface.
Even a powerful department like the Secret Service could not avoid the downfall in the Cape District.
Luke said, "Go and verify my identity now and get the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau up and running as soon as possible."
"Yes, Inspector."
Shelley took Luke to the second floor.
The second floor is a large open office hall where all the civilian staff of the Secret Service work together, making it convenient for the detectives to assign tasks and request information.
There are several independent offices inside the office hall, which are the offices of detectives and the management of the Secret Service.
As soon as Luke and Shelley walked into the office lobby, they heard a man roaring from the office at the end.
"Is this your attitude towards work? Why hasn't Black Mamba come to work yet? Without her, is there no one among you who can confirm my identity?
Send someone to look for her immediately. I want to see her within half an hour!"
A man hurried out of the inspector's office.
It's Pisco.
He had a bad expression on his face, and it was obvious that he had been scolded by the "new detective" for a long time.
After meeting Shelley, Pisco finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Big sister, you are finally here. And... sir..." Pisco saluted Luke, then whispered to Shelley: "The 'new detective' arrived this morning and has been waiting until now."
"I'm here now, aren't I? Let's go and help our 'new detective' complete his last mission."
At this time, Shelley had no doubts about Luke's identity.
Along the way, he prepared very seriously for taking office, and his confidence was not something he could fake .
He even took on his first assignment in office.
Find a son for old Hilmer, the hot dog seller!
Luke follows Shelley and Pisco into the Detective's office.
There were several people standing in the office.
Sitting behind the desk was a haughty middle-aged man, wearing... a suit similar to Luke's, a gentleman's hat of similar style on his head, a pocket watch chain of the same color, and a walking stick in his hand, tapping the table.
Shelley couldn't help but look at Luke.
She was very sure that Luke had never seen the "new detective" today. Was it a coincidence that he dressed like this, or did he know that the "new detective" would take office in such attire?
The whereabouts of this "new detective" have always been under the control of our "real detective".
When the new detective saw two new faces coming in, he asked unhappily, "Who are you?"
He has been waiting here for a whole morning and has a very, very bad impression of the new working environment.
Shelley walked up to the desk, saluted the new detective, and said, "Hello sir, I'm Black Mamba."
“Are you the Black Mamba?”
The new inspector who had just arrived was not familiar with the situation of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau. He did not expect that the captain of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau's rangers, code-named Viper, was such a beautiful woman.
The new inspector's anger suddenly subsided a lot, and he felt that he might be able to start a good life in the Cape District.
"I asked them to verify the secret pattern of my appointment letter, but they all said they would wait for you to come. It seems that your prestige and ability are recognized by them. I believe we will have a very pleasant cooperation.
Here is my appointment letter.”
The new inspector pushed a document on the table forward with his cane, and looked at Shelley's hot body unscrupulously.
"Yes, I will verify the appointment letter immediately and look forward to working with you."
Shelley picked up the letter of appointment from the table.
Number: OEOFT3694457, that’s right!
New detective code name: Meteor, correct!
These are all the information written on the surface, and the last step is to verify the secret patterns.
In the upper right corner of the appointment letter, there is a text covered by a special alchemical coating. By removing the alchemical coating, a set of secret patterns can be obtained.
By deciphering the secret pattern information on the document, the authenticity of the document can be determined.
Shelley carefully observed the alchemical coating, which had not been damaged.
Then use magic to remove the alchemical coating.
really……
"Fox, turtle, pine fish, yellow flag, foil stone, square table"
All the micrograins are correct.
This is the secret pattern written by Her Royal Highness the Princess herself.
If there was a second person other than Her Royal Highness the Princess who knew the secret pattern information in advance, it must have been Her Royal Highness the Princess who told him.
Perhaps the princess wrote the letter of appointment in his arms.
Shelley thought with amusement, and followed the procedure to reinterpret the appointment letter using the secret code information.
All anti-counterfeiting information is accurate.
"Your Excellency." Shelley respectfully placed the appointment letter on the table: "I have completed the verification of the appointment letter. It is written by Her Royal Highness Princess Agatha herself, appointing Meteor as the chief detective of the Secret Affairs Bureau of Cape District in Nutao City, and in charge of the secret affairs of Cape District."
After getting the confirmation, the new detective finally let out the anger he had been holding in.
"Now that my appointment has been verified, I am officially your Chief Inspector from this moment on.
Now……"
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
The new detective had a hole cut into his head and fell backward into his office chair.
His eyes were open, looking blankly at his subordinates in the room.
Everyone in the room was looking at Shelley now, her hand holding the gun steadily, pointing it at the new inspector's body.
Smoke was still coming out of the muzzle.
Someone exclaimed: "Black Mamba, do you know what you are doing? Are you trying to rebel?"
"Black Mamba, this is the inspector sent to us by Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Faced with his horrified colleagues, Shelley twirled the gun and put it back into the holster.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. I just disposed of an 'envelope' according to the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess. The real Meteorite Detective of the Cape District Secret Affairs Bureau... is right beside me."
