Release that Witch Chapter 487: Guardian shield

In the evening, the ship reached Longsong region inland river dock.

Petrov, who was informed of the news, has already taken people here to wait and return to the castle. A grand welcome dinner was held in the lobby on the first floor. Since the complete possession of Longsong Stronghold, the mentality of Roland has also changed. Looking at the noble who staggered between the seats, he always felt that Petrov was entertaining himself with his own money.

After a few words with the eldest son of Honeysuckle, he entered the topic, "Are those Mouses starting to work again?"

"According to the reports we received, this seems to be the case," Petrov made a please gesture, leading the prince to the corner of the hall, "but compared to the organized black street groups before, the criminals caught now are all Individual behaviors, such as theft, robbery, murder, etc., all caught are dragged to the square and sentenced to hang. But you asked us to prove the evidence, so the prisoners dealt with are only a very small part of the reported cases, just for verification These news will take a lot of time, and ... "Honeysuckle eldest son paused," We have encountered a big trouble recently.

"What trouble?"

"Someone blatantly resists your policy, Your Highness." Petrov worried, "the specific things Dmitry Earl know more clearly, I will let him tell you more."

"His Highness Esteemed, Elk pays tribute to you." After being called, Ryan bowed to the prince, and then began to explain the story. "Recently, a major event occurred in North Street outside the city ... Yeah, According to Minister Vader, it should be called a serial killing case. "

Uh, that's my own statement. Roland suddenly became interested. "Continue."

"Yes," Ryan Dmitry whispered, "From three days ago, every night, a household was killed at home. Their common ground was that they were all male and lived alone without family members. The most important thing is that they Have reported their jobs to City Hall. "

The Prince frowned, "They are all regular workers?"

"If handyman is a formal job," Count Elk nodded. "A picture was left in each victim's room: a crown and a red cross, painted with blood. It is because With this mark, I verified with City Hall and learned that there are several names of them in the list of houses to be built in Scarlet Water district.

"So you think their purpose is ..."

"Destroy your recruitment plan, Your Highness," he replied, "this matter has been publicized in North Street, saying that as long as you report to City Hall, you will be caught by the killer."

"I think so," Petrov said, "The number of recruiters was lower than expected, and now almost no one dared to sign up on North Street. Now City Hall has a group of regretful city dwellers who say they I ’m not feeling well and ca n’t leave the city for the time being. I hope that officials can remove their names. Now the news is only circulating in North Street. If it is spread to other neighborhoods, it may adversely affect your construction plan. "

Roland thought for a moment, "Did you find any clues to the killer?"

"This ..." Ryan opened his mouth, and said for a long time, "No one saw the murder scene, and no one knew where to find it when I searched."

"Really," he couldn't help wondering, "So how did you solve this kind of thing before?"

"Are you talking about the patrol team?" The young Count Elk hesitated. "As far as I know, they do not have a fixed approach. If the impact is great, the victim's family appeals to feudal lord, and feudal lord decides to give the child If the people are fair, they will test the black street gangs and let Mouse surrender the prisoners themselves. As for whether they are scapegoats, the patrol team does not care. If they are foreigners or solitary people, they generally choose to turn a blind eye.

This is simply too lawless. Roland secretly stunned. In this way, judicial power is almost equivalent to handing over to Mouse. No wonder some people would say that Mouse is the other side of governing the city. In addition, there seems to be no criminal investigation at all in this era. Once no one is witnessed during the murder, it is very likely that the case is a pending case, and it is limited to civilians.

small town has always had Nightingale, and with a simple staff structure, all kinds of crimes are broken immediately, which has led him to ignore this problem. Ryan didn't say it in his mouth, and maybe he thought that it was difficult for a strong person to require that the evidence be conclusive.

However, Roland will not allow scapegoats to be played in his territory.

"I see. Starting tomorrow, Security Agency will take over this case, and you'll cooperate with it."

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness," Ryan rejoiced.

...

After the banquet, Roland's study on the top floor of the castle has changed greatly. The bookshelves around it have been demolished and replaced with soft lounge chairs, coffee tables and cushions. Two big holes were knocked out of the wall behind the desk, and transparent floor-to-ceiling windows were installed. Although it is not a clean and flawless crystal glass, the sense of openness instantly improves a grade. Through the slightly mottled glass, Roland overlooked the stronghold enveloped by the night, and nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that Petrov is quite concerned about his orders, and it was true that he was chosen as an agent at first.

"What are you going to do about this?" Nightingale got out of the mist and sat cross-legged at the table.

"I won't deal with this," said the prince and shook his head with a smile. "Now noble has returned to Longsong. The first job tomorrow will be to arrange for them to establish a new secondary City Hall, and divide the departments and sections according to the border area model. Responsible person. Get this team up early, Soraya can draw ID card earlier. It will be up to you to fight crime. "

"Me?"

"You are the person in charge of Security Agency. How to solve the case is up to you ... you can drive the police force of Neverwinter City at will, whether it is Vader or Ryan, you can be regarded as your subordinates."

"But do n’t you often say that departmental powers need to be separated and administrative positions must be equal?" Nightingale understands, "I don't quite understand how City Hall works, but in this way it is equivalent to putting Security Agency above it. Right? "

"The security of the territory is above all else, and this is why you are directly responsible to me," Roland said with appreciation. "It is not just the police department. In the future, the review of City Hall and the military will be performed by you. Each department is indeed They are separate and non-interfering, but they also need a net to restrain them, to prevent the abuse of power and corruption by the personnel inside, and to prevent the collapse of the new system from the inside. You should have heard the sentence the strongest defense It usually starts from the internal disintegration first. "He paused for a moment, looking into the eyes of Nightingale," And you are the shield that prevents all this from happening, whether it is my safety or the security of the territory. You are. "Your support is my greatest motivation. ) 16-12-2005: 04: 01
