Chapter 12: Angry Catherine
The voice was a woman, and Rod and Jinx immediately heard her identity.
Miss Catherine, a policewoman in Pitts.
It seemed that Piltover was very concerned about this operation, and the female sheriff chose to lead the team herself.
"Just right." Rod smiled and got up, "You guys wait here, don't move, I'll go meet our last guest." ”
Giggs sensed something was wrong and wanted to slip away, but it was too late.
"No problem!" Jinx grabbed Giggs again and began to rub it together, "No problem at all!" ”
……………………
Upon opening the door, Rhodes discovers that Catherine and a team of heavily armed Leather City officers have surrounded Violet Dream.
Loaded with guns and ammunition, he looked like he was facing a great enemy.
"Welcome, Miss Catherine." Rod bowed slightly, and gave an impeccable mage salute, "It's an honor to be here." ”
"Right, Rhodes - here's your warrant, and Jinx and Giggs' on charges of illegal explosives, terrorist attacks, deliberate chaos, and robbery. You'd better sit on your back and leave the rest of the time to your lawyer – if you have one. Catherine shook the three warrants in front of Rod's eyes, "If you want to escape, then you will be unpopular with Zaun and Piltover, and everything you have will be confiscated as compensation for the Piltover bombing." ”
Catherine was clearly extremely skilled in the process of making an arrest, and she spoke a series of lines extremely fluently in one breath – and in a nice voice.
"You're more efficient than I expected, and I didn't expect those old fritters from Piltover to have a good day." Rhodes didn't care about Catherine's stern tone, "Did you get the signature and seal of the Zuan Management Committee?" This kind of cross-regional law enforcement is not enough with Piltover's permission alone! ”
Rodeyun's breezy appearance made Catherine a little unhappy - as a sheriff of Piltover for so long, Catherine has arrested countless criminals, and there are many hard-mouthed and uncaring ones, but most of those gangsters are reckless characters, although the tone is tough, but they are just cooked ducks.
But Rod's unhurried demeanor reminded Catherine of some bad memories — the same is often the case when those who are well-versed in the law are arrested, they don't care, and then they always use good lawyers and connections to get away with it.
This time, though, Catherine believed that it was impossible for Rhodes to get away with it.
Sticking out her finger, Catherine pointed to the bottom line of signatures on the warrant.
"The executive member of the Zaun Management Council, Sage Nice, I'm sorry, you'll have to go back to the police station with me now." Catherine's tone was sarcastic, "Or do you want to check my police ID?" ”
"Well, I'll see." Rod carefully examined the arrest warrant in Catherine's hand and looked at the date, "It's the arrest warrant issued today, in that case, I'm afraid it's me who should say sorry - you probably don't know, last night, the Zaun management committee held an emergency meeting, and the Lord Nice was removed from his post for accepting bribes - in other words, your arrest warrants are invalid." ”
Catherine was stunned.
What the? Nice was deposed?!
And also because of what damn bribery?
Nice is Piltover's nail in Zaun, and he will take bribes?
Why didn't I get the message?!
The news was so unbelievable that the surrounding police officers were at a loss for a moment, until Catherine turned on the communicator and confirmed it to the bureau.
The administrative communication between Piltover and Zaun was still troublesome, and it took a long time for the police station in Pi to get the news back, and Nice had indeed been deposed, and because it was a secret arrest, the news was not sent back for a long time.
In other words, the arrest warrant is indeed invalid.
At this moment, Catherine was extremely disgusted with Piltover's slow censorship, if this arrest warrant had been signed yesterday, then the guy in front of him who had not been beaten could only obediently follow him back to the police station!
But now, it's all over!
It is foreseeable that there is no reason for him to arrest Rhodes again in a short period of time, and now, Rhodes can completely swagger and transfer his assets, considering this guy's teleportation spell, he may not really be able to catch Rhodes!
"Now, Miss Catherine doesn't seem to have a reason to arrest me back, does she? I, as a citizen of Zaun, have no authority to arrest me by the Piltover police unless there is a joint arrest warrant – or can you reapply to the Zaun Management Committee? ”
Catherine gritted her teeth.
Damn it, there's definitely something greasy about this!
Ness is one of Piltover's spokesmen in Zaun, and although he has never been popular, the removal of an executive member is not a simple task, and it is absolutely inseparable from the guy in front of him!
Catherine is 10,000 percent sure that this guy has something to do with the serial bombings in Leather City, but she can only watch him get away with it!
That's right, even if the evidence is conclusive, Catherine can't carry out the arrest - because she is a law enforcer!
Even if Catherine is dissatisfied, there is nothing she can do.
That's the law in Picheng – procedure comes first, and as for the facts, that's often not the most important thing.
Glaring at Rod again, Catherine put away her sniper rifle and then took off her gloves in a huff - "Close!" ”
"Wait!" At this time, Rod stopped Catherine, "Miss Catherine, since you have already closed the team, what ...... Can you come and have a drink at my tavern? I have a few friends who would like to meet you. ”
"Not available." Catherine didn't even bother to glance at Rod's mocking face again, "Call me and proudly show me that you have escaped the law for the time being?" Sorry, not interested! ”
"If you're willing to come, I'll tell you who took the lead in getting rid of Nice - and I can save his life, Zaun hasn't been very peaceful, a deposed executive member, and there are quite a few people who want to see him unlucky."
"You!"
Rod's ungraceful threat infuriates Catherine, but Nice is so important to Piltwolf that Catherine turns back and tries to lead the officers into the tavern.
"Miss Catherine, this tavern is a bit small, so—"
As he spoke, Rhodes pointed to the officers.
Apparently, Rhodes meant that only Catherine could enter the Violet Dream.
Anyway, everyone knows that Catherine is here, and if something happens, Rod will always be the first person responsible - considering Catherine's identity, if something really goes wrong with her, Rod will lose her skin if she doesn't die.
"Collect the team." Catherine didn't drag her feet either, "I'll go sit down inside and meet those friends of Mr. Rhodes." ”
Catherine bit the word friend very hard, obviously trying to sarcastically mock Rhodes only has some fox friends - but Rhodes was unmoved, and the smile on his face became more and more gentle.
"It's an honor."
————————
Catherine is Piltover's sheriff, she must obey the law, and Piltover's cumbersome laws also limit Catherine, and the concept of order is ingrained in her heart, so she will never break the law.
Although Catherine has been a lot more flexible in recent years because of Vi joining, Vi did not participate in this operation - as for why Vi did not come, there are some personal reasons for her.
