Chapter 178 The Righteous Man
“You may not believe it, but our boss just warned me last night not to smoke the cigarettes you gave me.”
Milo knew that old Xion smoked all the cigarettes you gave him. What the hell is this? There is absolutely no way he would taste this, unless he wanted his brain to break quickly.
"It seems that our bosses like you quite a lot." Old Xion said and lit up a cigarette.
Seeing Milo immediately getting up and opening the window, he rolled his eyes and said, "Please, this is a genuine cigarette, not adulterated."
"My underwear is wet, open the window to let some air flow."
Milo calmly gave his reason and then opened the window.
The heavy rain outside has stopped at this time, but there is no wind and the air is still dull.
Milo turned to look at Old Xion: "By the way, why didn't I see you this morning? At the funeral."
"What's the point of sending 7 empty coffins into the burial ground?" Old Xion Pout.
Milo raised his eyebrows, and he glanced at the group of seven people in various corners of the office intentionally or unintentionally.
Smoker Will was standing next to Milo at this time, smoking a cigarette that Milo couldn't smell the second-hand smoke.
Robert, Kane, and Ryan Garcia were all sitting in their offices in a daze. Perhaps for them in another world, this was their usual state.
Jon Jones, who has ADHD, is playing silky and coherent air strikes all the time.
Four-eyed Henry was rummaging for something on the bookshelf.
Eric Winton, the junior officer, wandered up and down the aisle outside his office.
When he noticed Milo staring at him, he said in sign language - "Everyone is already in a very active state today. After all, you just took us out for a walk. On weekdays, everyone Sitting in one place for half a month is no different from being dead."
The corner of Milo's mouth twitched. He could probably imagine what it would be like to be trapped in a world that is completely isolated from the outside world. An atmosphere of despair.
But soon he shook his head in a self-deprecating manner - I know a hammer, I know it.
……
At this time, Old Xion said for no reason:
“After the assassination incident, the superiors clearly requested that the Criminal Investigation Department of the Chengnan Law Enforcement Station must increase its manpower.”
“Eh, what do you mean? It's because we didn't do our job well." Milo muttered nonchalantly.
"The fact is that in the end, the killer did not die under the gunfire of you and me, and the entire pursuit became a big guy helping us catch people, do you understand?" Old Xion half-squinted his eyes, He said with a yawn.
"So what are you going to do?"
Milo glanced at the "other people" in the office.
At this time, the remaining seven people who were bored also pricked up their ears. They were more or less concerned about old Xion's arrangements.
Old Xion scratched his head and spread his hands and said:
"I'll just wait for the law enforcement assessment next year. Anyway, I won't accept the old guys from other departments. My criminal investigation team will have to Started from a baby and cultivated slowly, just like you."
"Everyone" didn't seem too surprised by Old Xion's answer.
However, Old Xion's next words made the group of 7 people become somewhat silent.
He pointed to other empty desks and said: "Besides, you and I have to continue to investigate their disappearance cases. Wouldn't it be a hindrance if a stranger suddenly came in now? The case is at the top. It’s over. It’s not over here. We have to see people dead and corpses. Don’t expect me to be fooled by a funeral.”
In the office, “everyone” looked at each other.
Milo could see other people talking to each other, but he couldn't hear their voices and couldn't talk to them.
Based on the rules of exile that he learned from the new totem, the exiles have no chance to return to the original world, which means that the 7-person group will never be able to return to their respective posts, Lao Xi Eun's obsession with investigating the case is actually a meaningless struggle.
"Then let's check. Let's ignore the matter of adding more manpower." That's all Milo could say.
On the surface, this office looks sparsely populated, but in fact it is lively.
Next time we encounter a difficult case, Milo and Old Xion will be the only ones involved. The group of 7 behind us is not a decoration.
“Oh, by the way, there is one more thing.”
Old Xion seemed to suddenly remember something. He stood up and took out a page of documents from the pocket of his windbreaker and threw it to Milo, saying:
"The information just given to me by the law enforcement office in the north of the city. He seems to be a friend of yours."
"Friend?" Milo immediately went through all the characters in his life that could be called "friends" and found that he looked like a special person. lonely old man.
"I was arrested two days ago." Old Xion added: "But he was released on bail later. He mentioned your name when recording the confession, so he came over from the north of the city to say hello. , but we both happened to be away, so no one cared about it."
As soon as Milo heard the word "caught", he immediately eliminated all wrong options and locked in a name-Yan.
Well, among the few people he knew, Yan was probably the only one who could be caught by law enforcement officers.
No, to be precise, the person who can successfully get bail after being arrested must be Yan.
Because for someone of Emma’s level, if they are caught, they will be sent directly to the Supreme Court, and there is no possibility of bail.
......
Milo shook the crumpled document and took a look.
"Huh..."
It was pretty much what he expected.
This guy got into a fight with someone in the pub after drinking too much at night.
"No, no, look at the back." Old Xion motioned to Milo to turn the document over and look at the back.
Milo squinted his eyes and read the tortuous story described in the entire document. He instantly felt that fighting in a pub was simply a cheap crime method.
Because it is mentioned later in the document that the real reason for Yan's arrest was that he had a drunken date with a woman and invited a charming young woman back to the apartment. However, after they met frankly with each other, they discovered that the so-called young woman was a middle-aged man with a vertical grip. Yan Sui, a young man, became angry and injured someone, and even reported the case to the law enforcement station.
Then he was arrested.
During this period, he kept clamoring to find a law enforcement officer with the surname Varrokan to avenge him.
Not only that, Yan also claimed that his actions were to rectify unhealthy trends in the market and that he was the work of a righteous man.
It was not until I sobered up that I sincerely paid the bail and medical expenses, and at the same time wrote a letter of apology...
……
Milo read the entire text.
Fold the documents neatly, tear them into pieces and stuff them into the trash can under the desk. He said to Old Xion expressionlessly:
"Fortunately, when the documents were delivered, I'm not here."
"That's what I mean too." Old Xion nodded with deep understanding.
The other seven shadows in the office also nodded in agreement.
