Chapter 420: One Question and One Answer
July 10, 5:40 p.m
"Bang!" The deputy director who was sitting in front of the door slapped the table vigorously, and then raised his eyebrows and glanced at the five people standing in front of him waiting to listen to the training
"Why are you doing this! The Secret Service Support Section was nosy on the first day it was established, and the credit was even snatched by a guerrilla! He pointed the finger directly at himself, "Why did you come to the police station?!" We didn't issue a commission at all! β
"First: the client is Section Chief Sergei, and it is the guerrilla headquarters that transferred me here, second: I hope you will pay attention to your attitude, I have already written with the embassy, I have come this time for a legitimate reason to work, if you skip the legal process for personal reasons, I will directly sue you to the embassy" Chong Dan Dao" By the way, maybe my home country has already sent the letter to the local mayor, and I have the privilege of extrajudicial bail and priority defense wherever I go, In other words, even you, Cross Bell's legal agency, have no right to judge me here, let alone a deputy chief here to teach me a lesson."
"You!" The middle-aged man in front of him held back his anger: "Outsiders are amazing!" β
"Isn't it, even a mere person from the Erebonian Empire can be released on bail directly, so even if I spit in your face now, I'm afraid you won't be able to" Chong Leng said "Now I'm going out, otherwise please call me and let me connect to the embassy"
"Get out!" He slapped the table and motioned for Lloyd and them to get out with Chong
"Wait," he said, perhaps calming down, "I give you a piece of advice, dismiss the Secret Service Support Section in a day or two, there is no half-day benefit for your promotion, and the same goes for guerrillas, you shouldn't have anything to do with state agencies, I'll arrange proper positions for others, think about it for one night, I'll start working tomorrow morning and wait until I get off work, and tell me the answer in the time slot."
"Remember to choose the answer that is best for your future, my advice is only once"
"You go back first, I still have something to go back to the Guerrilla Association," Chong decided to part ways with them after leaving the police station
"Wait," Lloyd called to himself
"What's the matter?" Chong asked, looking back
"Was your rhetoric a little too fierce just now? Please don't flout the law," Lloyd said solemnly
"Is there one? I'm just telling the truth "Chong half-squinted" contempt? Do you say this with your own mouth or from the mouth of a government official? I can explain the former, but I don't have that mood for the latter."
"Lloyd. Leader Bannings, I hope you will remember that the lowest people here are the government officials, because they have no freedom at all, and the people are bound by the law and protected by it, and for the police, they are the enforcers of the law, and they do not enjoy protection" Chong turned his head and left, "When you see the evil slipping through your fingers, you might as well choose to run to a place where you can't see them"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ the dividing line of confusion
"A department that responds as quickly as possible with the citizen's expectation as its main purpose?!" Lloyd and others, who had just been called from the gate of the police station to the grocery building (later office and dormitory), heard this answer from Sergei
"That's right, that's why the Secret Service Support Section was established and what it aims to do in the future, and the location of the office in the downtown area is also to increase the distance between the citizens and the citizens," Sergei nodded
"Hey, isn't this just a job with the guerrillas" Randy said helplessly, he finally understood why the members of the second section said that he had been drawn before going out
"It's better to say that it's a copy or plagiarism" Theo ruthlessly debunked the truth
"In Crossberry, the guerrillas enjoy a very high popularity among the citizens, and there are even many people who would rather go to them to issue a commission than come to the National Police Department to file a record," Sergei said indifferently, "A-class guerrilla Arrios Makein, S-class guerrilla Gino. Prin and a lot of good guerrillas are stationed here, do you know what that means to the top of the police? β
"Threatened," Ellie said hesitantly, "Mr. Arios is fine, but Mr. Gino is completely a big celebrity in the entire Cross Bell, Mayor Zu appointed him as a bodyguard many times before he traveled, and he is also a well-known powerhouse in the world, and it can be said that he is already the patron saint of the people who can compete with the mayor."
"Especially when the squadron leader who picked three Kamizuka in a row and single-handedly overwhelmed a hundred-man wing, an undefeated monster in a sense," Randy added, "There are such people in the Guerrilla Guild who are willing to help, and of course the people are more inclined to that side."
"Strength is only secondary, but the key is that the police are too weak" Sergei took a deep puff of cigarette "The people will not want to understand the darkness in the depths of politics, they will only think that the police are ineffective, so they will naturally choose a more secure guerrilla association, and the evaluation of the police department will be reduced accordingly, which will affect the reputation of the autonomous prefecture government, I will not talk about the rest, in short, it cannot go on like this"
"In fact, doing things for the citizens is only the second rule within the National Police Agency, so all kinds of slanderous accusations about this place have already spread all over the place" Sergei smiled, "Of course, I'm afraid someone has told you, you can refuse this kind of assignment, your files haven't been transferred yet, even if you choose to leave now, there is no harm, but it will be beneficial to your future promotion"
"It's a very chaotic place, I don't think people who don't want to have the ability to do it, it's one night, tomorrow morning your file will be passed over, if you don't want me to seal it, you are not allowed to hide it, otherwise there will be no one to collect your body if there is an accident in the future"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ talking about the dividing line
"Sure enough, I still can't get through" I can't get through to him either with my own mobile phone or with a special line in the guerrilla association, and I heard Michelle say that he is a man who will stretch the reflex arc because of the mission, although he has already left a message, but he can't be sure when he will answer, maybe until he returns
"What the hell is the commission, is it difficult to plan to trick me for a week first" sighed helplessly, I really can't stand it if I stay in this place reluctantly for a week, so I have to give a letter of approval, otherwise working with a group of people who don't know the bottom may only cause me some psychological problems
There was a knock at the door
"The door is not locked, just push it open," Chong said indifferently against the wall
"Excuse me" Lloyd pushed open the door and walked in, and then he was taken aback by the decoration of the room, compared to Ellie's neat elegance, Randy's lounge style, and Theo's, Theo's didn't go in, but looking at her appearance, it might be the kind of room full of computers and wiring, and in comparison, Chong's room was simply very clean, except for the wooden bed and desk that came with it, and the electric light seemed to come from the office downstairs
"Aren't you going to stay?" Lloyd asked hesitantly
"No, I said I stayed here because I had a valid reason for my work," Chong Dan said "It's just that I don't have any interest in decorating the room, and I don't have anything to use here."
"What do you need? Crossbell still has a lot to buy."
"Computers and books about postmodernism" Chong glanced at him, "You really don't have the former here, and the latter can't buy it, your library here doesn't allow you to buy books, are you kidding?" β
"Ah, that's true" Lloyd couldn't help but smile bitterly, Crossbell's library only allows borrowing books, if you want to buy them, you have to go to the church outside or other places to buy them, I didn't expect that this rule has not been changed after so long, but thinking about it this way, are Ellie's books brought from home? It seems that Ellie's family should have a good identity
"So, if I say I don't plan to stay here, what will you say next, keep me or ask me why" Chong took his eyes back, "It's not necessary, you should just want to know your path here"
"Haha, I guessed it right at once," Lloyd couldn't help but laugh dryly
"Honestly, you're not fit for this job," Chong said after a moment of silence, "People like you who will go on a rampage for justice will choose to pierce a wall when they encounter it, but they have never thought about the consequences of breaking through a wall"
"Wait, why would you just say that?" Lloyd hurriedly stopped, "It's not that yet, is it?" β
"If you do everything here, then of course you will be approached by anything" Chong Dan Dao "Didn't you prepare in advance? There are no rules here, the police and guerrillas do their work here, whether it is to challenge monsters or fight criminals, it is very dangerous."
"There is a wall in the middle of Crossbell, and there is no way to play your enthusiasm, I didn't say that you are not suitable for this place, I just said that you are not suitable for the work of the police" Chong can know the general character of each of them from the events of this afternoon, especially Lloyd's, who was entrusted with the temporary leader of the team, who showed everything, has leadership skills, can unite others, and has a sense of self-sacrifice
Simply a natural scapegoat, isn't it?
Lloyd did not answer
"As a citizen, you can go and fight off a few robbers, but as a police officer, you can't do that, because the former can be interpreted as good intentions, while the latter has to be chained with duty, and the evaluation and consequences of the two are completely different, people can use violence and police cannot" Chong continued, "It seems to be too much, I have nothing more to say, please get out"
"So why are you here? Can you tell me? Lloyd finally took the initiative to speak
"EntrustmentγAt the same time, I also want to collect some obsidian stones and bring them back to my country," Chong said, "Of course, the latter is problematic, because the latter seems to be seized by the border gates, so I can only give it up for the time being."
"Actually, there is no problem with the latter, you can process the obsidian and take it away, so that you will not be seized," Lloyd reminded out of kindness
"Really? I know, grateful" Chong nodded, "Then in exchange I can say a few more words, I actually didn't have any purpose here, it was equivalent to being driven to the shelves, but your section chief is very scheming"
"Scheming?" Lloyd was stunned for a moment by the unexpected answer
"There are two advantages to letting me here, first: I can seek the help of the guerrilla association in a fair and open way, and second: it can make the operation of the Special Service Support Section smoother, the former is because I am a guerrilla myself, and it will not be misleading to seek intelligence support, and the second is because the people have a good impression of the guerrillas, so the reputation of the Special Service Support Section in the outside world will be beneficial to him, he is actually gambling, betting on whether the police will disband this place first or the people will accept this new department first, and now the latter has a better chance of winning." Chong closed his eyes after explaining, "Then that's it, I think you should be able to draw conclusions from the words of the previous three people, all three of them should choose to stay, there is no need to cater to the general trend, but what you have to do can't stand still"
"I see, thank you very much," Lloyd nodded vigorously and walked out of the room, then closed the door for himself
"Tsk, strange, have you become fond of lately?" Chong couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, is it really because people are old (about to end), and they have begun to think about leaving something
"It should have been annoying" that person was a little too dazzling, those burning pupils would sooner or later ignite this Crossbell, this city was just a fire, they lacked the courage to change, because there were internal worries and external troubles, and changing the current regulations without authorization would usher in enemies, but now it is different, why? Because there is a guarantee, there is an executor, and he is the guarantee, and the Special Service Support Section is likely to be the executor, this is the reason, and this is what he needs
"I always feel that I can already guess the promise this time" Let the lights start to light up in the night view of Crossbell? Okay, anyway, it's just a matter of flipping a switch, whatever you want
Of course, I have to be happy, right?
