Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 18 Everyone is Happy
The message in Shelley's words was quite powerful, causing everyone in the room to look at the young man next to her.
Is he our new detective?
Luke was also very surprised by Shelley's sudden action of shooting and killing the "new detective".
Shouldn't we lure him to a deserted place before taking action?
Now it's like this...
The man died on the chair, leaving a large pool of blood.
As a leader, should I sit down or not?
Shelley, Shelley, you were rescued from prison by Agatha but were not reused. Don’t you reflect on this?
Luke said to Pisco, "Go, take care of the body and get me a chair."
"Yes, Inspector!"
Pisco was very strong. He carried the body and chair of the "new detective" out, and brought in a new chair after a while.
Under everyone's gaze, Luke walked to the inspector's desk and sat down.
He put the cane aside, then took the letter of appointment as inspector and put it in the drawer.
Then……
"I am very, very dissatisfied with the way you do things! I should have dealt with this person secretly, and then I came to take office with the appointment letter.
Everything went according to procedure, safely and securely without disturbing anyone.
But because you arrested people at random, this major inauguration accident occurred, which seriously affected the progress of the task assigned to me by the Princess!"
Shelley and Pisco immediately stood at attention.
"I'm sorry, Inspector."
Luke waved his hand and said in a slightly more relaxed tone: "Now that it has happened, I don't want to deal with my subordinates for the next period of time on my first day in office.
Today's incident was... someone came here with a forged letter of appointment as a detective to commit fraud. He was recognized by everyone and shot dead on the spot.
I think you all have no objection, right?"
Letting an "envelope" holding a letter of appointment sit openly in the office of the detective chief of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau is definitely a major employment accident.
Especially with the eldest princess' secret mission behind it.
Once the General Administration investigates and finds out the cause of the accident, everyone in the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau will be held heavily responsible.
If this accident is described as a fraud committed by a liar, then the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau is not only not at fault but also has merit.
The inspector took up his post normally.
Everyone is happy.
"Compilation" of case reports is what the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau is best at.
As for Luke's identity, no one in the room had any doubts.
Pisco had told them in the morning not to rush to confirm the identity of the "new detective" or to let him move around .
Let’s wait until the Black Mamba arrives.
This means that he already knew there was something wrong with the “new detective”.
After reading the appointment letter, Black Mamba shot and killed the "new inspector" without hesitation, and said that he was following the orders of the princess. He must have known the inside story of the inspector's appointment through other channels.
Perhaps the order lies in the secret pattern.
Besides, Black Mamba came so late today, and he came with the True Detective.
It is basically certain that Black Mamba and Pisco already knew that the inspector and the appointment letter arrived separately.
It was only something that went wrong that resulted in "Envelope" taking up the office with the appointment letter.
Anyway, it's best to make a big deal out of a small matter or a small matter out of nothing.
Everyone said together: "It's the inspector's wise command."
Done!
Luke finally felt relieved.
It would take some time for Qingkong to gather all the materials needed for the secret technique, and his current strength was not suitable for running around in this world. Being able to sit in the detective's office of the Cape District Secret Affairs Bureau was better than being outside and worried.
The important thing now is to safely collect everything needed for the secret technique as quickly as possible.
Only by having strength can we cope with ever-changing situations.
"Since everyone agrees...Kaylena!" Luke called out the name of the confidential secretary in the detective's office.
Kylena is a very young and introverted girl, wearing a light green female professional suit and a pair of large and somewhat exaggerated black-framed glasses.
The light yellow hair is combed to the right to cover the right ear.
Luke knew that her right ear was a metal , which gave her superb hearing and memory, but also made Kaileena feel a little inferior.
"Inspector... Inspector! What can I do for you? Please tell me."
"This case report is now handed over to you. Please include everyone's contributions in it."
"Yes, Inspector!"
A bad thing turned into a good thing, and everyone had a good impression of these new detectives.
"Okay, you don't need to introduce yourselves. I know the information of each of you. If you don't have anything else, go out and do your job well."
"Yes, Inspector!"
Luke's "subordinates" walked out of the office one by one.
When Shelley was about to leave, Pisco stopped her and said to Luke, "Inspector, there were two vicious murders in our Cape District last night. One was in the dock storage area in Windward Lane, and the other was in the headquarters of the Axe Madness. Many people died.
Especially the Mad Axe Party... their leader, the Horned Demon Giant, died, and nearly half of their members died, and their vitality was severely damaged!"
Luke thought, didn't I do this?
and……
"What does this have to do with us? Shouldn't the Cape District Security Department be in charge?"
Pisco looked at Shelley.
Shelley didn't expect that something so big would happen last night.
She explained for Luke.
There are a total of six districts in Nutao City, and a branch of the Secret Intelligence Bureau has been established in each district.
Although all branches of the Secret Intelligence Service are directly under the Imperial Headquarters and have no subordinate relationship with each other, the funds for the branch's activities come mostly from the city's finances, in addition to a portion of the funding from the Headquarters.
Therefore, the right to distribute this money fell into the hands of the central branch.
"Inspector, the funding from the headquarters can barely keep us running smoothly. We spent all the money on a few drinks.
All the spies and informants who are not in the establishment have to be paid, and there are various visible and invisible expenses.
The Central Bureau...prefers to allocate funds to new urban areas and wealthy areas on the grounds that taxpayers' money should be protected. The urban area of our Cape District is equivalent to three urban areas, but the money allocated to us is only one-tenth of that of other urban areas, or even less.
Every other city secret service bureau has more than a thousand spies, not including those who are not open to the public. Our bureau has only 400 people, both open and secret. How can that be enough to manage such a large city?
So we accepted funding from some businessmen and gangs.
The Axe Mad Party is one of our major sponsors. Now that their leader is dead, there are countless people who want to take over the industry they control.
As the backer of the Mad Axe, if we cannot protect them at this time, other sponsors will lose confidence in us."
Pisco, who knows more about the development of the incident, added: "I have sent a group of people to the Mad Axe headquarters to block those people from the Sheriff's Department. We must respond as soon as possible, otherwise the Mad Axe headquarters will be swallowed up by the Sheriff's Department!"
