Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 51: Restoration
Holt now understood completely.
This time, the Secret Intelligence Bureau was just taking advantage of the situation. Knowing that they needed to stabilize the situation in the Cape District before the afternoon meeting, they wanted to create momentum and take the opportunity to blackmail them.
The opponent's knife hit his soft spot!
Furthermore, according to intelligence, not only did the Mad Axe Gang receive a large amount of support last night, but there also seemed to be signs of the use of a large amount of berserker potions.
The gangs that were originally full of confidence and ready to attack the Mad Axe headquarters in one fell swoop were hit on the head by a club.
The fearless Axe Madmen killed them, some of them fled and some of them scattered, completely exposing the mob.
Now the Mad Axe has launched a counterattack, and they have the support of Black Mamba and the Imperial spies. I am trapped here and have no way to help them.
This new detective of the Secret Service is no ordinary person!
Holt waved his hand to let his subordinates retreat, and then said to Luke: "Inspector Meteorite, you are awesome! But you also have to consider the consequences of doing this... The City Hall will not listen to your excuses, we all know what you want to do.
I will report what happened here to the city council, and the council will report it to the imperial capital. I think Her Royal Highness the Princess will not let you do whatever you want in Raging Waves City!"
"That's for later...right?"
Luke answered easily.
As a "fake detective", he doesn't care about his image in front of Agatha.
"You will pay the price!"
“That’s a matter for the future… Director Holt, I don’t want to embarrass you.
My request is also very simple.
You ask your people to vomit out everything they ate, and restore the dock to its original state. I will ensure that the Cape District is restored to the state that the Government Affairs Office wants to see."
Holt didn't expect that Luke, who had created such a good situation, would not open his mouth to take a big bite of the dock's interests, but instead wanted to restore the status quo.
"You just want the dock back to its original state?"
"What else?" Luke said with a smile, "I don't have as big an appetite as you. I do these things just to prevent my subordinates from suddenly losing a large amount of income, not to suppress you in the Cape District.
When we first met, I expressed my attitude very clearly.
Let me say it again.
I know the water in Nutao City is very deep and I don’t want to risk my life in it.
Until the Princess Luck, no additional people will be involved in the case of Hansenlton's assassination of the former detective of the Cape District.
I also hope that the Cape District Secret Service and the Public Security Bureau can make a good start on the Lucky Princess. Our two departments will work together to maintain order in this urban area and use our work to satisfy the bigwigs above. "
Luke reiterated his position and bottom line.
There is no need for the Secret Intelligence Bureau to fight for a larger share at the dock, not only because they don't want to offend the big shots in Raging Waves City, but also because there aren't that many people to manage it.
Moreover, establishing a powerful external enemy is beneficial to internal unity.
For smuggling potions, one or two berths are enough.
Now the attention of the entire Nutao City has been attracted to Qingkong, and he can take this opportunity to reduce his presence in the eyes of the big shots.
It takes time to build a chain of interests.
Show weakness when you should, be low-key when you should... Of course, you must also draw a clear red line for the other party, and don't let them think that showing weakness means being easy to bully.
Luke's tough actions and conservative demands made Director Holt very angry but he couldn't find a place to vent.
There is an urgent need to stop the gang fighting that is breaking out in the Cape area as soon as possible.
Since there is no loss in the interests of the port, it is not impossible to restore it to its original state.
"You really think so?"
"Director Holt, what do you think you would think if you were in my position? The life we want to live in the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau is to go to work, mess around, and get paid.
What I have done these days is all out of necessity. I have no choice but to do it. "
Holt had no choice but to believe.
"All right, the dock will be restored to its original state. You and I will immediately issue orders for our respective people to return to our respective areas."
"no problem!"
Detective Meteorite of the Cape District Secret Service and Commissioner of Public Security Holt boarded the Lucky Princess one after another and issued a "public order", demanding that all parties in the Cape District immediately stop all violent activities.
The large-scale gang fight in the Cape District, which was triggered by the assassination of Axe Gang leader Ju Mu, was finally stopped under the "mediation" of the Secret Service and the Public Security Bureau.
Within a few days, more than a thousand people were killed or injured on both sides, and some small gangs were directly eliminated.
And the result…the division of interests at the port remains unchanged.
Under pressure from the Public Security Bureau, the gang members who seized control of the dock from the Axe Gang reluctantly withdrew.
The members of the Mad Axe Gang returned to the dock happily.
It seemed that the Cape District had returned to its original state, but everyone saw how the Secret Service and the Public Security Bureau performed in this brief conflict.
Hundreds of heads fell to the ground while the detective and the director were drinking coffee and chatting.
Death is worthless.
Everyone who is alive is thinking... who will be the one who can make things happen in the Cape District in the future.
Commissioner Holt has the support of the City Hall, and the Sheriff's Department is still powerful. But after the Secret Service welcomed a new detective, his behavior of protecting the Axe Gang really touched these gang members.
And these subsequent impacts were not taken into consideration by Luke.
After he saw Holt off, he returned to the Secret Service to prepare for the afternoon's Government Office meeting.
Qingkong caused a bit of a commotion at Oulu College.
Where there are advantages, there are disadvantages.
Next time you go to Qingkong and go out, you won’t be so reckless.
How can I use my current identity to provide cover for Qingkong without exposing myself?
This is a technical job.
Confidential secretary Kylena prepared a stack of information for Luke.
Including the list of people attending the meeting and their identities; predictions on the meeting agenda; the personnel and informants that the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau can mobilize; and some of the investigation files of Qingkong's two murders in Windward Alley and the Crazy Axe Gang...
"Inspector... During the meeting, I will be sitting next to you as your confidential secretary and taking notes. You have just taken office, so if there is anything you don't know, you can ask me."
"knew."
Luke picked up the document and looked through it slowly.
The person who presided over this meeting was the councillor in charge of city security, Virgil. The city's chief of police, six chiefs of police, and six detectives of the Secret Service were all on the list.
In addition, some official and private organizations such as the Blade Brotherhood, City Alchemist Association, Raging Waves City Merchants Association, Golden Shield Empire Raging Waves Fleet, and Oulu College will also send people to participate.
Each identity is of great importance.
Qingkong really stirred up a hornet's nest this time.
Luke had only read a few pages when Shelley pushed the door open and walked in.
"Inspector, the vehicles and guards are ready to escort you to the meeting at the City Hall.
In addition, Lambert of the Mad Axe Party invites you to go to their headquarters in the evening... Madam Tasia from Fishbone Island will arrive in the evening."
