Chapter 237 Piltover Policewoman Caitlin
Crack!
The electric current flashed, and bursts of harsh sounds sounded, as if every molecule in the air was vibrating.
The delinquent young men who heard the noise looked at their companions who were twitching on the ground and foaming at the mouth. The fierce expressions on their faces turned into panic. Their two sides trembled, almost wanting to leave first.
But before they could leave, chaotic footsteps came.
Piltover guards were seen pouring into the alley like a purple tide, the Hextech standard rifles in their hands flashing azure brilliance, aiming at everyone.
“Ugh!”
The delinquent young people made the most correct decision when they saw the cold eyes of the Piltover guards and the electric light remaining on the dark muzzles.
Cang! Bang!
With crisp sounds, sharp daggers and blades fell to the ground one after another,
Without any hesitation, these bad young men put their heads in their hands and squatted down, leaning against the wall.
"Master Guard, we are just chatting together, no need to open fire, right?"
"Yes, yes, is chatting also illegal?"
"If anything happens to our companions, we will definitely complain about your favoritism in law enforcement."
"Ah, stop fighting!"
"Stop fighting! We were wrong!"
The cold-faced Pi City guards didn't say anything, they just kicked them over and started beating the bad youths with their rifle butts.
The Pi City guard at the front frowned, looking disgusted as he walked past the wailing delinquent youths and walked up to Huo Jixing, narrowing his eyes slightly.
“What happened here?”
Just outside the alley, the Piltover guard noticed something unusual about Huo Jixing.
Ordinary people usually show fear or panic when faced with those vicious and delinquent young people.
But Huo Jixing seemed extremely calm, even without fear.
Such a performance naturally attracted the attention of the Piltover guards.
Huo Jixing withdrew his gaze and looked at the Pi City guards in front of him.
This guy seems to be different from ordinary Piltover guards.
Wearing a blue uniform and gold-rimmed glasses, the black beard on the corner of his mouth adds a bit of majesty and maturity, and he looks very trustworthy.
Piltover Detective!
In Piltover, the Piltover Guards are responsible for public security and maintaining order.
Usually patrol the streets to prevent and deal with emergencies to ensure the safety of citizens' lives and property.
The Piltover police detectives are higher-level law enforcement officers, and their responsibilities are more to investigate cases and arrest criminals.
"Someone was robbing someone."
Huo Jixing spoke softly. He was about to look for the middle-aged woman who had lost her backpack, but found that the woman had already left the alley without knowing when.
Seeing this, the Pi City police detective reached out and patted Huo Jixing on the shoulder, somewhat understanding his mood.
"If there are no witnesses, we need you to return to the police station to assist in the investigation."
Huo Jixing nodded helplessly, indicating that it was no problem, and allowed the Pi City guards to take him and The bad young people were taken away from the scene together.
When walking out of the alley, many onlookers gathered around and pointed at Huo Jixing and others without fear.
“It’s such a chaotic place.” Huo Jixing sighed inwardly.
Although the lower urban area is still Piltover's sphere of influence, no one is allowed to trample on the law wantonly.
But after all, this place is bordered by the Zaun area, and it is inevitably influenced by Zaun, causing chaos and disorder.
“Huh?”
When Pi City guards took Huo Jixing away.
He saw a somewhat familiar face in a shop next to the street.
“It’s her.”
Huo Jixing wrote down the name of the shop and followed the Pi City guards back to the Pi City police station.
Lower urban area, Piltover Police Department.
Compared with the shabby and dirty streets before, the police station seemed to be from another world.
The noise and chaos are isolated outside the glass door.
The interior of the police station is clean and tidy, with lights reflected on the smooth floor and a special place for garbage.
When Huo Jixing came in, he saw many Pi City guards busy handling various matters.
They were either standing, sitting, or interrogating prisoners, concentrating on their work.
When Huo Jixing and the bad youths came in, the guards in Pi City cast a scrutinizing look, and then a look of disgust appeared on their faces.
Obviously, these bad young people have long been regular visitors to the police station.
On a clean seat, Huo Jixing sat down. Opposite him was the Piltover police detective who had brought him here.
"Those are Zaun people, engaged in illegal trade." The Piltover police detective followed Huo Jixing's gaze and spoke softly.
The Zaun people he was talking about were people who had transformed their bodies with alchemical technology. They had mechanical arms, but they looked a little old and rusty.
"Ariel, Detective Piltover." Ariel said in a deep voice.
His eyes swept over Huo Jixing, as if assessing this unusual young man.
Huo Jixing didn't care about Ariel's gaze. He took out the coat of arms of the Myrdalda family and placed it on the table.
"Huo Jixing, advisor to the Myrdalda family."
Hearing this, Ariel's pupils narrowed, he reached out and picked up the iron badge and observed it carefully.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Huo Jixing." Ariel stood up, bent slightly, and held the iron badge in both hands.
"We will finalize the case as soon as possible and teach those guys an unforgettable lesson."
Huo Jixing took back the badge, glanced at the wailing bad youths not far away, and gently Shake his head.
"Can we leave then?"
"Of course, you can leave at any time." Ariel noticed Huo Jixing's gaze and said with a smile.
Huo Jixing nodded, stood up and left his seat.
I have to say that the coat of arms of the Myrdalda family is really easy to use. You don’t need to assist in the investigation and the inquiry process can be eliminated to finalize the case.
A glimpse of the leopard reveals the terrifying influence of the Myrdalda family in Piltover.
Huo Jixing walked past the workstation with a relaxed expression.
Just when he arrived at Liuli's door, a voice sounded from behind.
"Why can he just leave?" A bad young man stood up and said angrily.
But what greeted him was a loud slap.
Pop!
Ariel directly waved his palm, half-turning the bad boy's body, and fell heavily to the ground. The bright red palm print was almost engraved on his face.
The next moment!
The police station seemed to have turned into a vegetable market and was extremely noisy.
The companions of the delinquent youths clamored loudly, but what awaited them was a similar ending.
When Ariel finished processing everything, he looked at the departing figure and felt relieved in his heart.
There are not many people walking around Piltover who can hold the Medalda family crest.
Even within the Myrdalda family, there are only a few people.
"Ariel, what happened?"
A voice of inquiry sounded from behind, and Ariel looked over, his expression suddenly becoming serious.
"Chief Caitlin."
Ariel stood up straight and saluted respectfully to the woman in front of him who was wearing a police uniform and carrying a Hextech precision rifle.
Then he recounted what he had just encountered on the street.
"Advisor of the Myrdalda family?"
Caitlin's expression was condensed, and her gaze fell on the fading figure outside the door.
Ordinary people in Piltover only know that the Myrdalda family is very wealthy and can even influence the decisions of the Parliament to a certain extent.
But Caitlin, who comes from a business family, is more aware of the overwhelming power of the Myrdalda family. Before becoming the Sheriff, Caitlin Gilaman was a young lady from a wealthy and powerful business family. She had learned the social etiquette of Piltover society since she was a child.
Her mother was one of the several auditors of the Gila Mann family and was a member of the upper echelons of Piltover.
But there are still a few steps to go before becoming a member of the Piltover Council.
As for the Myrdalda family, there is a direct descendant who serves as a member of the Piltover Council and has considerable say.
"But something seems to have happened to the Myrdalda family recently. Merchant ships out to sea have been attacked frequently."
Caitlin's eyes flickered and she thought to herself.
Then she looked at the delinquent youths lying on the ground and said to Ariel in a serious tone.
“Be careful, don’t kill anyone.”
Although Caitlin is from a business family, she has liked to go to the wilderness on the outskirts of the city since she was a child.
She can also use her father's repeating Mauser to hit a hare a hundred paces away with one shot, especially in the eyes.
After experiencing the robbery of her family, Caitlin completely changed.
She found the intruders of her home one by one from within the city alleys of Piltover and brought them to justice.
In the end, Caitlin was recommended by the Piltover Guard and became a highly respected sergeant in the Piltover Guard.
Ariel touched the beard at the corner of his mouth, looked at Caitlin, and nodded to express understanding.
"Well, I have something to go up first."
Caitlin retracted her gaze, carrying the Hextech precision rifle on her back, and walked towards her office.
"When Wei comes back, ask her to come to me directly."
"Okay, I will notify the commander." Ariel stood at attention and saluted.
Outside the Piltover Police Station.
Huo Jixing seemed to realize something, stopped and looked back.
The calm eyes ignored the glazed door and saw a familiar figure beside Ariel.
Piltover policewoman Caitlin!
The long dark purple hair shines in the sun, and the cold eyes reveal the inviolable majesty.
The well-fitting police uniform and slim figure perfectly show Caitlin's beauty and ability.
Thick leather gloves wrapped his hands, and he carried a Hextech Seiko rifle with a hint of danger on his back.
“Why don’t you see her partner, the Piltover law enforcer Wei from Zaun?”
Huo Jixing looked slightly surprised when he saw Caitlin in the police station.
But he would not rush back to the police station to say hello to Caitlin specifically.
Huo Jixing left the police station and walked along the street, recalling in his mind the familiar faces he had just seen in the shop.
"Why is she in the lower urban area?"
After Huo Jixing pondered for a while, adhering to the principle of caution, he decided to investigate again at night.
Boom!
The copper-colored cable car slowed down from far to near, and finally stopped steadily in front of the platform.
Huo Jixing calmly walked off the cable car and looked at the Chamber of Commerce area he had arrived at.
There are many bronze and glazed buildings, row upon row of exquisite shops, crowded with people and busy traffic.
The bustling scene in front of you and the lower urban area create a strong sense of separation.
Just as Huo Jixing was admiring this bustling area, a tall figure wearing a Pi City guard uniform came over.
It is the captain of the Piltover Guard——
Mattiu.
This guy walked briskly and vigorously, and greeted Huo Jixing with a smile on his face.
"Lord Huo Jixing, are you going out for a walk again?"
Huo Jixing said with a smile: "I went to the lower city."
He did not explain his itinerary in detail, and Mathiu did not ask any questions.
In recent days, Huo Jixing would meet Mathiu from time to time every time he went out.
It can be seen that the captain of the Piltover Guard seems to pay special attention to Huo Jixing and always tries to find ways to curry favor with him.
And Huo Jixing was also happy to do so, and learned a lot of interesting stories about Piltover from Mathiu.
"The lower urban area." Mathiu touched his chin, approached Huo Jixing, and whispered.
"Have you ever tasted Shimmer Wine?"
Huo Jixing's heart moved and he quickly recalled the origin of Shimmer Wine.
Glimmer potion.
An alchemical magic potion originating from Zaun.
The original purpose was to treat diseases through medicine, but later it turned into a terrifying research to pursue abilities and immortality.
The shimmering wine is wine produced with a small dose of shimmering medicine.
It is rumored that shimmer wine can bring a slight sense of healing to people, but it has a certain degree of addiction.
“Isn’t this illegal alcohol from Zaun?” Huo Jixing asked.
Shimmer wine has long been on Piltover's banned list and is not allowed to be sold in the city.
"Haha, in the lower urban areas, as long as you have money, you can't get anything." Mathiu immediately laughed.
"If you need it, I can get you a few bottles."
"No need."
Huo Jixing shook his head gently and refused. Tiu's kindness.
He understands that sometimes just a simple opening can give others a chance to control themselves.
When Mathiu heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly covered it up and continued talking to Huo Jixing with his enthusiastic smile.
Until Huo Jixing returns to Myrdalda Castle.
“Huh?”
Huo Jixing strolled on the way back to his room.
He looked at the silent castle and noticed that the atmosphere was a little heavy, as if something was happening.
He frowned slightly, looked at the towering main castle, and chose to go back to his room first.
Since the Myrdalda family has not found themselves yet, it means that the matter is still within the scope of their solution.
Main Castle Study Room.
Glass lights soaked into the ground.
Jagu Midarda sat behind the desk, stared at the old housekeeper in front of him, and spoke in a deep voice.
“It’s almost the appointed time, and there’s no news yet?”
Hiro looked a little helpless when he thought of the explorer who had taken over the mission.
“There is no news about that person yet.”
“But with his reputation in Piltover, he should bring back news before the appointed time.”
Jia Gu leaned against the soft seat, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and spoke in an unusually cold tone.
"I don't want to hear the word should."
"Noxian guests are in the castle, and House Myrdalda will not allow any mistakes."
>Hiro's forehead broke out in fine cold sweat, and his bowed body trembled imperceptibly.
The old man who seemed gentle and respected in front of him actually possessed a ruthlessness that ordinary people could not see.
Otherwise, the Myrdalda family would not have developed into the most powerful chamber of commerce family in Piltover.
"I will immediately arrange to look for traces of that person."
Hiro bowed and left the room, his back disappearing into the corridor.
