Chapter 62: Unreliable Inquisitor
There are a total of 12 teams under the Investigation Bureau, which are under the jurisdiction of 12 investigators, and below these 12 investigators, there are 5 investigators each, such as Donald, who are new recruits who can only be the lowest investigators.
This is an official position, not an internal merit rating, holding a certain official position will have a fixed merit bonus every month, if it is only an investigator, then it must be increased cumulatively according to the number of cases completed and the results completed.
The assignment of tasks within the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation basically follows the rotation system of internal and external alternation, and one case and one team.
What is the alternation of inside and outside?
The Demingham Liaison Bureau is not only responsible for the maritime towns of Demingham, you must know that there are a large number of affiliated towns in the surrounding areas of Demingham, these places are also freedom of faith zones, because the Orthodox Church does not care, there are often some evil aliens, dark creatures who commit crimes, thinking of being in the middle of nowhere, doing whatever they want.
Naturally, the government could not afford not to see it, and Demingham, as the core city of the region, had to shoulder the responsibility in this regard, so the 12 brigades had to be responsible for the affairs of Demingham, except for the four permanent teams in the government district, the bureau, the kingbird district and the manor district.
Take Tallinn as an example, where the 5th and 6th teams are stationed, this is not to say that the two teams are jointly responsible for the security of the city, basically each city will only ensure the stationing of a 30-person team of outlaws under the daily operation, and the other team is on standby, ready to go to the surrounding area to solve the case and assist the district in the case of shortage of manpower.
This form will be rotated for a month, after all, going out on a mission is equivalent to a business trip, and even a stranger can't run around all year round.
What is a team?
This refers to the distribution of cases, because of the reward and punishment system within the Bureau, the only way to get merit is to handle cases, and in order to ensure a fair distribution of cases and that the investigators have enough time to rest, the Bureau ensures that the team's cases are taken in shifts.
For example, an investigation brigade has five squads and one case for each case, and there will be no other tasks until the case is completed.
As the cases alternate, if it is the second turn of this team, they have not completed the previous case, then they will be punished according to the circumstances.
Generally speaking, this situation is relatively rare, and even if it happens, the team will make a private deployment, and the task will be transferred, and this is how the transfer comes.
In order to avoid punishment, some teams will transfer their cases to teams that are currently available if they don't have time to complete them.
As long as both sides agree, the Bureau of Anomalies will not object, after all, it only pursues efficiency.
"I still don't understand, why do you choose to give away the mission, the booklet says that under the premise that the team itself fails to complete other tasks in time, the team can transfer the task, do we have other outgoing tasks that we haven't completed now?"
Inside the car, Donald closed the printed manual inside the Bureau, still unsure why Investigator Shelley had turned over the mission.
"You are just newcomers, I think my team is not capable of completing new tasks for the time being, in order to prevent accidents in the mission, so this round I choose to transfer the task. ”
Speaking of this, Shelley picked up the square flask in the car and tilted his neck to take a puff, but fortunately he was the co-pilot, and Stephanie was driving.
Because of his actions, Donald saw a strange scar on the lower part of his neck in the vehicle's rearview mirror.
Although it has scabbed, it still looks a little hideous.
"Accident...... What case is there without surprise?"
Donald, sitting in the back seat, again raised the objection, he did not think it would be a good choice to abandon the mission.
The captain in front of him, who kept pouring wine into his mouth, gave him a very bad impression.
The act of giving up the first task of a newcomer after joining the team is too far-fetched to explain it by accident.
"Hey, I'm the captain, Horn Shelley, I'm the captain of this team, and the pick-up or transfer of the mission is something I'm thinking about, not you, you know?"
Shelley didn't seem to want to talk about the mission, and Donald's retort made him a little emotional, wondering if alcohol was at work or something else.
Donald's brow furrowed suddenly, a drunken captain who seemed to be authoritarian, this was not the result he expected, and it could even be said to be quite disappointing.
Because as Horn Shelley said, he is the captain and the inquisitor, and he is indeed in charge of some affairs in the team, and Donald is a newcomer, and he is not qualified to go past the inquisitor to make decisions, and if Horn Shelley insists on giving up this task, there is no way for him to stop it.
Donald stopped talking, and turned his head to look out the window at the streetscape, but there was a faint cold light flashing in his eyes.
He wanted to choose a weak team to avoid being labeled, which was good, but that didn't mean he wanted to go to a waste squad.
Not to mention wanting to work under a person who is full of alcohol and has no image of a captain when he talks and acts.
However, what he said in the conference hall had already strangled his retreat, and it was impossible for him to apply to join the other teams anytime soon.
You can't change teams...... Then change the captain!
Donald, who came out of Pston, has long since abandoned the idea of making concessions or compromises on certain things.
For Donald, there are two kinds of troubles, one is the trouble that can motivate him to improve, such as the Domination of the Grimograph, such as the Demon Contractor who holds the other two powers of Mineato, and their existence makes Donald constantly demand his own progress.
The other kind of trouble is a meaningless obstacle, like the one in front of him, and then he needs to do something to solve the problem.
He was silent, and it was temporary.
He doesn't do anything because of his first impressions, but that doesn't mean he's indifferent after he's confirmed what he's thinking.
The atmosphere in the car was extremely bad, Stephanie had an embarrassed expression, she didn't dare to participate in the conflict between the two, and she didn't even dare to say a word to ease the atmosphere.
This is a woman with low self-confidence, who obviously has a charming and seductive face and an extremely hot body, but she doesn't dare to use them as a weapon against men.
That's how Donald felt about Stephanie Quake.
In order to ensure that the task can be quickly assembled, the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation has a duty station requirement for each team, and the investigators must ensure that they stay together during their duty to prevent any unexpected situations.
Therefore, each team will have an office in its own jurisdiction, and there is no requirement in terms of location, even in entertainment venues, or even private clubs, as long as it is guaranteed to be assembled as soon as a task arises, it is allowed.
Of course, there won't really be a team to set up an office in this kind of place, and generally choose some rental villas with full internal facilities.
The Bureau of Anomalies will have a financial subsidy in this regard, and the investigators' basic salary can reach the level of 25 gold pounds a month, which is more than enough.
But just for the villa in front of you, it's too big, right?
Horn Shelley's team was part of the Fifth Brigade, based in Tallinn, and their working home was a single-family house in the northern part of Tallinn, not a small one, but an old-fashioned villa with a large enough footprint.
It's not like a rented commercial residential villa, but more like some of the old local families in Dmingham as the main home.
This kind of building is rarely listed for rent, after all, the premise of such a decision is that the family is already in the sunset, to the point where it is impossible to maintain even the honor and existence of the family, and for some old-fashioned people, it is more uncomfortable than killing them.
"This is where you will work in the future, you can choose to move in, there are a lot of empty rooms in it, and you don't charge rent. ”
Horn Shelley's condition seemed to improve, and his tone returned to normal, but the eyes that looked at Donald were much colder than those that he looked at Stephanie.
The three of them walked to the door, and before they could push it open, the door was opened from the inside.
A stout, sturdy-looking man with messy brown-red hair was dragging two large suitcases out of the door, with a look of resentment and impatience on his face.
"Pence, don't move out, aren't you good to live here? You haven't found another place to live, have you?"
There was someone in the house who was stopping him, and it was supposed to be a girl.
Sure enough, there was a black-haired girl in a skirt hanging behind the strong man's suitcase, her eyes were red, she should have just cried.
The two groups of people happened to collide together, and the situation was very awkward.
Since Horn Shelley chose to bring him and Stephanie here, it means that this should be the stronghold of their team, so it seems that these two are his team members.
Donald chose to sit on the sidelines for the time being, and he wanted to see how Horne Shelley handled the situation.
Discord within the team, this is a team taboo!
"Hmph, it's really strange that you can still recruit team members, two, don't lie to him, this guy is the investigator who abandoned the team members during the mission, you are considered to be unlucky, it is not a good thing to be selected by this guy!"
Standing in front of this strong man are the three Donalds, and it is needless to say who abandoned the team members in the mission.
Stephanie's face immediately changed, and the eyes that looked at Horn Shelley were more vigilant.
As the captain of a team, abandoning a team member in battle is more serious than intra-team discord.
In fact, Donald believes that the current discord within the team is caused by Horn Shelley's abandonment of the team.
"Pence, don't talk nonsense! Horn wouldn't do such a thing, we've been working together for so long, don't you know what kind of person he is? Look, we don't have a new person joining us today, it's a good thing, we can start from scratch, Horn, you have something to say!"
The girl was on Horn Shelley's side, persuading her constantly.
"If you want to go, you can go, I won't stop you!"
Horn Shelley's answer left Donald sideways.
How the hell did this guy become an investigator?
