Chapter 101 Witness Protection Plan
“Absolutely not, no need to discuss.”
The old-fashioned Mr. V stared expressionlessly at the man and woman in front of him, of course Lynch and Nata Officer Li and two others.
After leaving Maya's cell, Lynch first went to the Scarecrow Club.
The chaos in the Cross District has subsided, and the mountain people were finally driven out of the city by the watchers, and their whereabouts are unknown.
This is the limit of what the watchers can do. Only then did Lynch learn from V that the mountain people all have legal identities.
There are tens of thousands of mountain people living in the Kallos Mountains, and they have a unified name: the ethnic minorities of the Rand Kingdom.
So as long as these mountain people do not cause a sensational incident, no matter what they do, it is not convenient for the Hall of Order to interfere, otherwise it will be a huge storm of public opinion. This reminds Lin Qi of the story that his hometown cannot breathe, and he is deeply moved by this. Express sympathy.
The reason they were driven away this time was because their patriarch, Nikolai, a high-end combat power, entered the city without reporting it. Otherwise, even if they refused to leave, the Hall of Order would have no choice but to drive them away. Surround them tightly to prevent them from causing trouble.
The sewer ghouls are also missing, but these alien creatures that come and go in the city's sewers are always so mysterious.
In short, the entire Rhine City has returned to surface calm. As for the undercurrents under the water, at least it has little relevance to ordinary people.
“It is no problem that the Watchers send reliable personnel to take care of them. We can take good care of the reporter, but all living supplies are provided by the Watchers? That is absolutely impossible. The funds of the Watchers It's also based on royal funding. How do you ask me to explain this expenditure to the headquarters and say that we secretly raised a ghoul? And look at what you wrote about YXL's cosmetics? You want us to provide a reporter with things that he can’t afford to wear for free? Lynch Leviv, the reimbursement must be within a reasonable range, and you can’t even use basic logic for reimbursement.”
Lin Qi looked at the gas lamp above his head with wandering eyes, finding it so attractive for the first time.
"And you, Natalie Angell. You have just known him for a few days. Do you believe everything he says? Are you bringing him to make trouble for me?"
Officer Natalie was taking the snacks on the coffee table and stuffing them into her mouth. Hearing this, he raised his head in astonishment, with a look like 'If you scold him, scold him, why does it have to do with me?'
Mr. V's mood was full of despair, and he always felt like raising cabbage and bringing pigs with him to serve the cabbage. This made him look at Lin Qi more fiercely.
"Well, actually it can be explained." Realizing that old and new hatreds were intertwined, Lynch had to cough dryly and explained sincerely, "I have a suggestion, which can be completely explained by you. Suggestion to the headquarters, I think this idea is very forward-looking and feasible.”
“Including YXL cosmetics and JFX fashion”
"Ahem, that one may have been written incorrectly by hand."
"Huh, say it."
"Witness protection plan. Each law enforcement agency should secretly prepare several safe houses. To provide concealment and protection measures for key targets, a few safe houses won’t cost much for government funding, but the effect will be significant. You are more professional than me, and you should understand that this is not an excuse.”
Mr. V put his hands on his chin, lowered his eyes and was silent. After a moment, he whispered: "Continue."
"The biggest suspect in the square incident is Grant, and Maya accused Grant of colluding with the sewers. It goes without saying that she is the key witness of the ghouls. There must be many similar situations. If there can be a witness protection plan and a fixed charter, it will be beneficial to both the Watchers and the Watchers. The witnesses themselves are of great help, and more importantly, even if there is no substantial benefit to the person who proposed this charter, at least in terms of reputation..."
"Okay, you don't need to say anything. Witness. The expenditure of the protection plan must be limited within a reasonable range, and each specific expenditure must be subject to strict review. In any case, YXL and JFX are definitely not allowed.”
Lynch gave a subtle smile, and Officer Natalie successfully ate a cookie. "You succeeded again this time. All the 'reasonable' expenses of the female reporter during the period of protection will be provided by the watchmen. It is the obligation of us, the defenders of order, to protect the citizens. However, you'd better give a time limit. You can't It may be protected indefinitely.”
“Maya has also asked, but it’s really hard to say the time limit. It depends on the specific investigation results.”
"Already have a target?"
"Well, the ghouls, mountain ghouls and sewer ghouls went out to search for Maya at the same time. I'm afraid it can't be a coincidence. I think they probably know what happened to Maya. What.”
“So?”
"I'm going to start with the sewer ghouls, or Grant. We just lost Maya. As two cooperating parties, Grant and the sewer ghouls will definitely exchange information. Contact with the ghouls is dangerous and easy. They will be discovered, but Grant is an ordinary person and there is no problem in eavesdropping on some information. If he can't find any satisfactory clues from them, he can only try the mountain people since they have legal identities. On the contrary, it is easier to deal with. As long as you can find their whereabouts, you can come to them openly."
"Do you know their whereabouts?"
"I don't know, but someone knows. ”
"It makes sense. You can give it a try, but pay attention to safety. If there are signs of danger, notify us as soon as possible. We will not see our allies in danger. So during this period, the security work and all reasonable expenses for the female reporter's hiding place , it is all the responsibility of the watchers, but your investigation results..."
"Of course they will be fully shared with the watchers."
After finalizing Maya's protection work with Mr. V, Lin. Qi finally solved all his worries and couldn't help but feel good.
After Lai drank two cups of coffee and ate a small piece of cup cake in Officer Natalie's 304, when he accidentally picked up a pillow and kneaded it, he was finally kicked out of the bedroom by the police officer and chased all the way to the first floor. The bar is considered a stop.
Lin Qi could only scratch his head angrily, and raised his boots to Cui En, the bearded man who was leaning forward and laughing in schadenfreude. Seeing his instantly embarrassed expression, Lynch finally regained his good mood and slowly left the Scarecrow Club.
May 19, 1399, 14:00.
Only a few days have passed, but people seem to have forgotten the tragedy in the square, and Crown Plaza has returned to its former prosperity.
Especially the cafes in front of the city hall, which are already full. Pedestrians were passing by and the sun was shining brightly. They hid in the shade of the cafe and enjoyed a rare cool break.
Lynch did not hide himself. He had changed into a linen shirt, wore a peaked cap and sat on the outdoor seat outside the cafe, covering his face with a newspaper.
In fact, he planned to lurk directly into the city hall and stalk Grant directly near Grant's office. However, while passing by this cafe, Ms. Luna's gentle voice sounded in his mind again.
【Karena’s exquisite makeup. 】
Huh? Diana of the Valente family?
Lin Qi's heart moved, and he calmly took his seat, using the newspaper to cover his eyes and quietly observing the people around him.
