Release that Witch

487. Chapter 487 Guardian Shield

    In the evening, the ship arrived at the river dock in the Longsong region.

    Petrov, who had heard of the news, had already been waiting for him to return to the castle, and a grand welcoming dinner was held in the first floor of the hall. Since the full possession of Longsong stronghold, Roland’s mentality has also changed, looking at the dinner vodka flowed noble, he always feel Petrov is in his own money to entertain himself.

    After a few words with Honeysuckle’s eldest son, he entered the topic. “Would those mice start to come out again?”

    “According to the reports we received, it seems to be the case,” Petrov made a gesture of asking, bringing the prince to the corner of the hall. “Just compared to the previously organized Black Street group, the criminals caught now are individual acts. For example, theft, robbery, murder, etc., but all caught, were pulled to the square and sentenced to hang. However, you require us to have sufficient evidence, so the prisoners disposed are only a very small part of the report. It is a lot of time to check these messages, and…”Honeysuckle’s eldest son is paused, “We have recently had a big problem.”

    “What trouble?”

    “Someone has blatantly boycotted your policy, Your Highness.”Petrov is worried. “The specific thing Dmitry Earl knows more clearly, I let him talk to you.”

    “Esteemed’s Highness, Elk pays tribute to you,” Ryan said to the prince after he was called, and then began to explain the incident. “There has been a big event in the North Street recently…Well, according to Vader Sheriff, it should be called a serial killing. ”

    Oh, that’s what I said, Roland suddenly came up with interest,” he said.

    “Yes,” Ryan Dmitry whispered. “From three days ago, every night, every household was killed at home. All they have in common is that they are male, living alone, without family members. The most important thing is that they are all Reported work to City Hall.”

    The prince frowned. “They are all formal workers?”

    “If handyman is a formal job,” Count Elk nodded. “A picture of each victim’s room left a picture: a crown and a red cross, painted with blood. It was because of this mark that I went to City Hall to find out that there were several names for them on the list of houses that were going to the Scarlet Water District. ”

    “So you think their purpose is…”

    “Destroy your recruiting 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 targeted by the killer.”

    “I think so too,” Petrov said. “There were fewer recruits than expected. Now almost no one in North Street dares to sign up. Now City Hall has a number of repentant city people saying that they are not feeling well. I can’t leave the city for the time being, I hope the officials can get their name. Nowadays, the news is only circulating in the North Street. If it is transmitted to other neighborhoods, it may have an adverse impact on your construction plan. ”

    Roland thought for a moment, “Did you find any clues about the murderer?”

    “This…”Ryan opened his mouth and said for a long time, “No one saw the scene of the crime, and sent people to search and did not know where to find it.”

    “Yes,” he couldn’t help but be surprised. “How did you solve this kind of thing before?”

    “Do you mean the patrol?”The young Count Elk hesitated. “As far as I know, they have no fixed practice. If the impact is great, the victim’s family appeals to feudal lord, and feudal lord decides to give the people a fair word, they will test the Heijie gang and let Mouse hand over the prisoner – as for the scapegoat, the patrol Does not care. If they are outsiders or solitary people, they generally choose to turn a blind eye. ”

    This is simply too lawless, and Roland is secretly screaming. As a result, the jurisdiction is almost equal to handing over to Mouse. No wonder some people say that Mouse is the other side of the city. In addition, this era seems to have no criminal investigation at all. Once murder is unseen, there are nine out of ten cases that are unsuccessful – of course, only for civilians.

    Small town has always had Nightingale sitting, plus the staff is simple, all kinds of crimes are broken, causing him to ignore this problem. Ryan didn’t say anything in his mouth, and he might think that asking for evidence to be conclusive is probably a difficult thing for a strong man.

    But no matter what, Roland will not allow the scapegoat in his territory.

    “I know, from tomorrow, the Security Agency will take over the case, and you will do your best.”

    “Yes, thank you, Your Highness,” Ryan said.

……

    After the banquet, Roland returned to the study on the top floor of the castle – now it has changed a lot, the bookshelves around it have been removed and replaced with soft reclining chairs, coffee tables and cushions. The wall behind the desk was knocked out of two big holes, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were installed. Although it is not a clean crystal glass, the sense of openness has instantly improved a grade. Through a slightly variegated glass, Roland overlooked the stronghold shrouded in the night and nodded with satisfaction.

    It seems that Petrov is quite concerned about his own orders. It is true that he was chosen as an agent at the beginning.

    “What are you going to do about this?”Nightingale is out of the fog and sits cross-legged on the table.

    “I won’t deal with this,” the prince smiled and shook his head. “Now noble has returned to Longsong. The main job tomorrow is to arrange for them to establish a new secondary City Hall. According to the border area model, the department and some of the responsible persons are divided. . Get this set up early, Soraya can also draw ID cards earlier. The crime against crime will be handed over to you. ”

    “I …

    “You are the head of the Security Agency. How to solve the case is up to you…The police force of the entire Neverwinter City can be driven at will, whether it is Vader or Ryan, can be regarded as your men. ”

    “But you don’t always say that the department’s power is to be separated, and the administrative status should be equal,” Nightingale said. “I don’t quite understand how City Hall works, but it’s equivalent to putting the Security Agency above it. ?”

    “The security of the Territory is above everything else, and that’s why you are directly responsible to me,” Roland said with appreciation. “Not just the police department, the review of the City Hall and the military will be carried out by you.” The various departments are indeed separate and non-interference, but they also need a network to bind them, to avoid abuse of power and corruption in the personnel inside, and to prevent the collapse of the new system from within. You should have heard a word – the strongest defense, often begins with internal disintegration. ”He paused for a moment and looked at Nightingale’s eyes. “And you are the shield that prevents this from happening. Whether it is my safety or the safety of the territory, I will give it to you.”
