Chapter 487 The Shield of Guardian

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
In the evening, the ship arrived at the Inner River Wharf in Changge District.

After hearing the news, Pero had already brought his people to wait here and returned to the castle. A grand welcome dinner was held in the lobby on the first floor.

Since he completely occupied the Changge Fortress, Roland's mentality has also changed. Looking at the nobles who were drinking and chatting during the meal, he always felt that Pelo was using his money to entertain him.

After a few greetings with the eldest son of Honeysuckle, he got to the point. Have those mice started to move out again?

According to the reports we received, it seems that this is the case. Pelo made a gesture of invitation to lead the prince to a corner of the hall. However, compared with the previously organized black street groups, the criminals caught now are individual behaviors, such as theft, robbery, murder, etc. Anyone caught is dragged to the square and sentenced to hang.However, you asked us to have conclusive evidence, so the prisoners dealt with were only a very small number of reports. Just checking these news will take a lot of time, and... The eldest son of Honeysuckle paused, and we were in big trouble recently.

What trouble?

Someone is blatantly boycotting your policies, Your Highness.Pelo worried that Count Mede knew more clearly about the specific matters, so I'll let him tell you in detail.

Dear Your Highness, the Elk salutes you. After being called over, Rennes bowed to the prince and then began to explain the incident. Recently, a major event happened on the North Street of Outer City... Well, according to Sheriff Vader, it should be called a serial murder case.

Well, that's what I said, Roland suddenly became interested and continued.

Yes, Renmede said in a deep voice. From three days ago, a household inhabited at home every night, and their common point is that they are all male, living alone, without family members, and most importantly, they all declared their jobs to the city hall.

The prince frowned. Are they all formal workers?

If the handyman was considered a formal job, Elf Eagle nodded, and there was a painting left in each victim's room: a crown and a red cross were painted with blood.It was precisely because of this mark that I asked the city hall for verification and learned that the names of several of them were on the list of houses that were about to go to Chishui District to build.

So you think their purpose is...

Destroy your recruitment plan, Your Highness, he replied, this matter has been promoted on North Street, saying that as long as you apply for work to the city hall, you will be targeted by the killer.

I think so too, Pelo continued, the number of recruiters was lower than expected, but now almost no one dared to sign up on North Street. Now there are a group of urban residents who have reneged on their repentance. They said that they were not in good health and could not leave the city for the time being. I hope the officials can get rid of their names.Nowadays, news only circulates in North Street. If it reaches other blocks, it may have adverse effects on your construction plan.

Roland thought for a moment, did you find any clues about the murderer?

This... Ren opened his mouth and said for a long time. No one saw the scene of the murder. He sent someone to search and didn't know where to find Ah.

Is that right? He couldn't help but be surprised. How did you solve this problem before?

Are you talking about patrols?The young Elf hesitated, and as far as I know, they did not have a fixed approach.If the impact is great, the victim's family complains to the lord, and the lord decides to give the people a fairness, they will test the pressure on the black street gang and let the rat hand over the prisoner by themselves. As for whether it is a scapegoat, the patrol does not care.If they are outsiders or live alone, they generally choose to turn a blind eye.

This is simply lawless, Roland was secretly stumbled. In this way, judicial power is almost the same as handing over to the rat. No wonder some people say that the rat is the other side of the city.

In addition, there seems to be no criminal investigation in this era. Once no one witnesses the murder, it is probably a unsolved case, of course, only for civilians.

The town has always had a nightingale in charge, and the staff is simple, and all kinds of crimes are broken at once, which leads him to ignore this problem.

Renn didn't say anything, and perhaps thought it was probably a difficult task to ask for conclusive evidence to be sentenced.

But no matter what, Roland would not allow his territory to play scapegoats.

I understand. Starting tomorrow, the Security Bureau will take over this case, so you can cooperate with it with all your strength.

Yes, thank you Your Highness, Renne said happily.

……

After the banquet, Roland returned to the study on the top floor of the castle and has now been greatly improved. The bookshelf around it has been removed and replaced with soft recliners, coffee tables and seat cushions.

Two large holes were knocked out on the wall behind the desk, and transparent floor-to-ceiling windows were installed.

Although it is not a clean and flawless crystal glass, the openness instantly improves the level of openness.

Through the slightly variegated glass, Roland looked down at the fortress shrouded in the night and nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that Pelo is quite concerned about his orders, and it is indeed true that he was chosen as his agent at the beginning.

What are you going to do about this?The nightingale escapes from the fog and sits cross-legged on the table.

I will not deal with this matter. The prince smiled and shook his head. Now the nobles have returned to Changge. The first job tomorrow is to arrange for them to establish a new secondary city hall, and divide departments and some people in charge according to the border area model.Get this team up early, so Soroya can also draw her ID card earlier.The matter of fighting crime is left to you.

I?

You are the head of the Security Bureau, and it is up to you to decide how to solve the case... You can drive the police force of the entire Winter City at will, and whether it is Vader or Renne, you can be regarded as your subordinate.

But don't you often say that departmental powers should be separated and administrative status should be equal? ​​Nightingale wondered, I don't quite understand how the city hall operates, but this would be equivalent to putting the Security Bureau above it, right?

Territory security is above everything else, which is why you are directly responsible for me. Roland said appreciatively, not only the police department, but you will be responsible for the review of the city hall and the army in the future.The various departments are indeed separate and non-interference, but they also need a network to bind them to avoid abuse of power and security in the personnel inside, and to prevent the collapse of the new system from within.You should have heard the most solid defense often begins to collapse from the inside.He paused for a moment and looked at the nightingale's eyes, and you were the strong shield that prevented all this from happening, whether it was my safety or the safety of the territory, it was left to you.
