The law is not merciful (extra chapter)
What is the difference between law and order?
Can the two exist apart from each other? Do they have anything to do with justice? Maybe everyone's answer is different, but if you ask me, that immature me, I will tell you that if you want justice, you have to break people's heads.
I feel like I'm getting tender today.
It was not yet dawn when I arrived at the Judicial Hall. It's usually like this, but it's usually not so early, and I bring guests back. Two guests, along with five others, were caught by me while vandalizing the facades of shops and restaurants on Clock Boulevard. One of them fell asleep after I patted him lightly, and the other was alive and well, and he was very fond of spitting fragrant mouths.
"Stop screamingβI'm so noisy I can't calm down." My steel fingers tightened his collar, and I nodded to his obedience and shouldered it. "If I were you, I'd learn something from this friend of yours."
"It's cruel," he hissed, "where are we?" Got to Noxus? β
"Noxus?" It took me a long time to stop laughing, "I wish I could do it." If we get to Noxus, I'll take you to the reckoning grounds, not to the boring cells. β
The tragic sight startled him, and I finally calmed down for a while, and then he began again.
"You thought you could shut us up, but you're wrong. We will expose your tyrannical system and overthrow it. β
"So you're going to smash the window of the teahouse, what's the logic? You're just a boring, flawed kid looking for a reason to smash things. Your actions are not helping anyone. β
"We are speaking up for those who are silent!" He snapped, "For the sake of the poor people." β
I looked at his clothes. Brand new and neat. I definitely haven't suffered a day, and I will ask for it the most. "Yes, I'm what you call a poor low-level Zuan, and I speak very well."
"And you're part of the system now." He spat pink into the street. "Give you a few silver wheels, and you will obey. How do you sleep at night? β
I suddenly felt a little itchy in my gloves. I miss the feeling of my ribs wrapping around my knuckles. Despite my best efforts, his words made my blood flow faster, and my Hex's fists should let out a slight exhale, ready for the brawl that was about to ensue. But I took that impulse down.
"If I didn't catch a bunch of fools who smashed teahouses, I could sleep like a baby."
We came to the door and were saved.
"Come, do me a poor Zaun a favor." I knocked on the door with that chattering head. I needed to confess that there was a hint of bitterness in the last knock - it was loud enough for the person inside to open the door.
"Officer Cape." Behind the slowly opening door, I smiled at him.
"It's opening so early, Vi?" He grumbled, rubbing the sleepiness from his eyes.
"Iniquity never ceases, friend." I dragged two arrests through the door and told Cappur a brief story about what had happened in the early hours of this morning.
"I captured two of them," I said at last, "and the two suspects ...... "I looked at them in turn, and now they were snoring one after the other. "Subdued."
Kapoor raised an eyebrow. "It seems to be. Sheriff Caitlyn is already looking for you, upstairs. β
"Then, I can entrust you with the follow-up procedures for these two entertaining revolutionaries, right?"
"I'll sign up." Cape muttered as I handed him a small piece of rubbish, and another chatter was at his feet.
I smiled at him as I walked past him, "The law enforcement team can't live without you." β
Catelyn's office was a mess. The creaking wooden table had been silenced, hidden in a forest of brass tube pods and countless forms, letters, and decrees. The sheriff is also lost in the forest, rummaging through search warrants, injunctions, and demand documents from superiors and the Chamber of Commerce family. It looked like she hadn't left the room in days, and I could only guess how bad her temper would have been, while closing the door behind her.
"Sit." She said without looking up, still rummaging through it.
It seems that it is time to get straight to the point.
"What's the matter, those little pieces of waste have done such a big thing?" I cleared out a chair and sat down, moved the mechanical fingers of my right hand, and rested my feet on the corner of her desk. "They will be able to walk in a few days. If you were to ask me, I'd already be gentle with them. β
"Not them," she replied, each word revealing more exhaustion. "There was something that repeatedly caught our attention, the development of events...... It's complicated, and we have to look it up. It's about Zaun. β
At this time, I realized that it was not the lack of sleep that made Xiao Kai so burdened. The incident raised her guard and made her feel a sense of anxiety, which was very rare for a woman who could pass a bullet through the middle hole of a silver wheel three streets away.
"Is that her?" I asked, unable to hide the sharpness in my voice.
Xiao Kai finally stopped lying on the table. A pair of sapphire eyes looked up at me. "Nope. This thing is different. This thing is very new. β
"Fresh." I repeated, but I still couldn't understand it.
Xiao Kai took a slow breath. "There's an accident in the gutter."
I tilted my head. "That place is a little far from our jurisdiction."
"Since the Great Split, our two cities have been in a symbiotic relationship. Although there are many differences on the surface, in reality we cannot live alone without each other, so we must maintain balance. β
The Great Schism, they gave the name. Generally speaking, a split is a one-and-two split. But our situation is that some wealthy businessmen are happily digging canals, overjoyed, and forget to guarantee the stability of the land. They sank half of Zuan into the water. Drowning people for the sake of commerce, business has been divided ever since, neither one-size-fits-all nor divided into two equal halves.
"Breaking that balance can be as simple as going to the lower levels of Zuan and shaking everything there," I pointed out, "but we're not talking about dance corridors β there's no overlap in the trenches to allow us to get our message across after it's happening, and we can't let the problem slip down." β
Xiao Kai sighed, "These topics have already been discussed and considered. β
"Who discussed it?" I asked, "Can I get involved too?" β
"All I can tell you is what you need to know, and you don't need to know that right now."
"So what does this have to do with us?" Fiddling with the empty microphone pod in my hand, I asked absentmindedly, "It's their business what the Undercity wants." β
"Not this time." Kai took the pod from my hand and placed it on the table. I frowned. She was unusually tight-mouthed this time.
"So, what's the difference?"
"We don't know," replied Kai, "so, we need to send eyeliner down there, and we need someone who knows Zu'an." So here you are. β
"That's too general, sheriff," I shook my head, "what about the barons?" Do you think they'll obediently watch Picheng send guards down and flip tables in their yards? β
Kai smiled tiredly. "Is it the big ruthless Wei who said this? Actually afraid of a few alchemy barons? β
I crossed my hands over my chest. "I wonder who to watch out for, that's all."
"Don't worry about the baron."
"Oh, really?" I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Because it's the baron who asks for help."
I stood up in amazement.
"You're right, it's fresh this time." I shook my head. It felt so strange that I couldn't see the whole picture. "There are still many grievances between the baron and the guards. It's too easy to go wrong. β
"There's no need to worry about that," she said, "because you're not going to go down as a guard." The two children you captured are the children of the Myrdalda family, and their parents want to take your head. β
She held up a roll of parchment letters. I could see the handwriting in the sunlight outside the window. Coming from the window were also louder and louder voices β angry crowds.
