Consultant Sheriff?

This was indeed a situation that Hordon did not expect, even though Pascia had just spoiled in advance, and after Captain Casca officially confirmed it, Horden was still surprised, and his eyes showed a slight curiosity, and he slowly sat down across the desk.

"Why? I mean, why me? Why now?"

Actually, that's what Hoden was looking for.

With the title of "Advisor Sheriff", he will have more access to the resources and information of the security team in the future, and the scope of activities will also be able to be slightly facilitated.

Rather than being ecstatic and flattered to say yes immediately, Horden kept his composure, knowing that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

On the one hand, this is to avoid revealing his expectations and exposing his feet in front of Casca, who is not ready to throw away his vest, and on the other hand, he wants to be able to peek into the essence of the phenomenon, grasping the situation of the vigilante is part of it, and fighting for the initiative for himself is part of it.

From Pasia's spoilers to Casca's revelation of the answer, Hoden's seemingly lazy and casual mask never stops his thoughts.

Captain Casca was not too surprised by Horden's reaction, with a shallow smile in his eyes, "I know you're an unusual child, but obviously, I still underestimate your wisdom and calmness. However, I think you should already know the answer, so there is no need to wait for me to say it. ”

Hodden didn't answer, still smiling at Captain Casca.

Smoking. Spit smoke.

Captain Casca's expression showed a slight comfort, "If you can't even guess the answer to such a mystery, then this title of advisor seems to be a loss for us." ”

There was no accusation in the voice, more of a ridicule and joke, and there was a lot of information hidden in the words.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

If nothing else, the vigilantes' choice to hire Hodden as an advisor sheriff at this moment should still be the prestige of His Royal Highness the Third Prince at play, and Nightingale's suicide case may be the catalyst, because there are still different factional struggles between the twelve divisions of Iwabys-

Just look at Director Zvi's follow-up propaganda actions to know a thing or two.

The influence of the signboard of "His Royal Highness the Third Prince" should be more effective than expected, and the scope of radiation should also be wider.

Now the eighth jurisdiction of the security team has also taken action for the first time.

Casca's reaction also confirmed Holden's guess that His Royal Highness the Third Prince should be the answer.

Holden's face did not change, he still looked slow and reasonable, and fought back without humility or arrogance, "But the problem is that you hired me as a consultant, and the purpose is not for me to help solve the case." At least not the main purpose. ”

"Oh, what is our purpose? I don't even know myself, so why don't you tell me?" Casca was still playing with his beloved pipe, and his eyes were full of curiosity as if he really didn't know anything.

"Huh. Hodden chuckled, "Advisor, the title says it all, with a title but no real power, what can be the purpose? Or can the advisor of the Iwabyss vigilante have the power of the captain?"

Casca didn't tell the truth, and Hordon followed in circles, but the confrontation between you and me was turbulent and sharp, and you could clearly feel the game of calculation and counter-calculation between the lines, both sides did not give an inch, obviously Casca was not so sloppy as it seemed on the outside.

The Eighth Precinct of the Sheriff's Squad chose to hire Horden as an advisory sheriff at this moment, and the timing was special to see the real purpose behind the decision.

Obviously, they are not because of Holden's ability to solve cases, but because of the influence of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, not only the eighth and eleventh jurisdictions, but other jurisdictions are trying to capture the attention of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but the internal strife behind it is a bloody storm that outsiders can't see.

Moreover, from the words of Ray Peters, Parsia and others, it can be felt that His Royal Highness the Third Prince's praise for Holden has indeed created a lot of waves, and there are rumors about Holden among the common people.

This is the real motivation of Holden to ask why and when at the beginning.

The Eighth Jurisdiction is willing to hire Hoden as an advisory sheriff, and there should be the consent of the higher-level leaders, and there are also captains and chiefs above Caska; otherwise, as Casca said, how could Hoden, a minor student, become an advisory sheriff?

Obviously, they didn't come to solve the case for Hoden.

The most likely result is that the eighth jurisdiction gives Hoden the title of "advisor", but does not give real power, and "hangs" Hoden more as a vase or signboard, and then announces it to the world, reminding other jurisdictions and ordinary people all the time, that the "Hoden-Helo" praised by His Royal Highness the Third Prince is here, attracting attention and creating topics.

But, that's all.

However, Holden is not a marionette who is at the mercy of others, more precisely, he can be a puppet, but it must be a very troublesome puppet - he will accept what should be accepted, not stubbornly refuse;

He's greedy.

The back-and-forth confrontation between Hoden and Casca is not so much that Hoden is picking bones in his eggs and not knowing what to do, but that Hoden is fighting for his own power - since it has been used, then it must be fully used, even as a pawn, each pawn has its own value.

That's fair! Holden never trades at a loss. Even if the title of "Advisor" was originally Horden's goal.

And Casca should also know that Hoden is not so easy to fool.

Both Hodden and Casca pretended to be confused, playing dumb riddles back and forth with each other, but the edge hidden between the lines was no less impressive.

It may be confusing to fall into the ears of others, but they can't be more clear between them.

Originally, Hoden thought that Casca would continue, but he didn't expect Casca to change his words and laugh loudly, "I'm not familiar with these situations." ”

"Those who know the situation in our eighth jurisdiction should know that I am usually a careless person, an advisory sheriff, I should be an advisor, and I guess Issa knows more than me what the specific powers are. When the time comes, you should also work more with Issa, after all, you are most familiar with her. ”

This is not to retreat or shake hands, but to point to the end and take it when you see it.

In a short encounter, Hordon can really feel that Captain Casca is definitely not as horse-minded as he looks on the outside, Issa can gain a firm foothold in the eighth jurisdiction, and behind him is Casca, this captain is even wiser than he imagined.
