Bello's words made the already serious atmosphere in the office a little tense.

Malek smiled "haha", pulled out the pipe in the drawer, and asked, "Who trained you?"

"Yes..."

"I'm not interested in listening to your training sessions. Just as Bello was about to reply, Malek interrupted him rudely, "Remember, at the guards... What is right is that things may not be right!"

"You can keep your rights, but you have to carry out the order. Malek pushed his lunch away, "You go down first, I need to make up for a nap." ”

Bello was speechless by Malek, and looking at his boss's undoubted expression, he had to take a deep breath and swallow the next words back into his stomach, and left the office without looking back.

Malek watched his assistant leave, shaking his head involuntarily and smiling wryly as the door closed. Before planning this matter, he had expected that there would be opposition, and the agents who came to take the mission today looked at him with suspicion in their eyes, and they wondered if he, the director, could really lead the security department.

"It's not a place to sit in casually. Malek stood up and walked to the window, looked at the officers who were hurrying away from the station, and muttered, "I should have chosen to retire in the first place." At the time of Zeemt's serious injury, Malek was already at retirement age, and he was used to the struggle, and he planned to retire there, but the position of chief of the guard was too tempting.

Suker City, which was troubled internally and externally, did not dare to slack off after letting Malek take over the security service, and after taking over this job, he had not had a good dinner with his family for a long time.

The case was tricky, and the plan he devised was fraught with uncertainties.

The success of the previous plan was only due to the use of the elves' zero tolerance for the undead and the political struggle within the council.

But the later plan can only rely entirely on himself,

If it fails...

No!

Malek's vague eyes snapped open, and a hideous look flashed across his face.

...

On 19 May, after the Suker City Council issued three decrees, the Security Service launched a large-scale arrest program with all its police force.

The arrestees were a mess of ordinary citizens, businessmen, gang members, government officials, garrison officers, etc., and even inside the final guard office, more than a dozen agents were taken away by members of the Internal Investigation Section.

The number of arrests of more than 200 people that were originally planned to be arrested quickly doubled during the subsequent interrogation!

As of 3 p.m. on the 20th, there were more than 500 new prisoners in the dungeon of the security department, and it was also thanks to the explosion of the previous 'O'Briton assassination' that the dungeon had been renovated and expanded, otherwise it would not have been closed.

The city council held five inquiry meetings over two days in response to the arrest.

Although, each time Malek was able to come up with a reasonable explanation, there was no progress in the follow-up investigation of the Woz Pedro case, and the patience of lawmakers was slowly running out, and Penny Reagan's trust in him was gradually souring.

...

Church of the Holy Radiance,

Located on the side of Victory Square and adjacent to it, the Divine Glory Theater is the most iconic building in the city.

These two buildings were completed before the old empire was founded.

They have witnessed the rise and fall of empires, as well as the development and changes of Suker City over the past three hundred years.

The Holy Church was established under the auspices of the Grand Duke of Patved because of the need for faith for the paladins, and its existence was to be able to unify the paladins who were chaotic at that time, and to establish order for the nascent force of the paladins.

More than 300 years seemed to pass in a blink of an eye, and the church experienced its most prosperous period, but it also had its decline, but in the end she survived.

She was founded for the rise of the Empire, and now the Empire is a thing of the past!

On the evening of the 21st,

Surrounded by holy power in the church, Bishop Andrew led a group of paladins to pray before dinner.

Because of the disappearance of Archbishop Samhill, Bishop Andrew naturally put on the clothes of an archbishop to preside over the operation of the entire church, providing spiritual beliefs for the paladins in the city.

The prayer did not last long, and when the prayer was over, the priest and the low-level apprentices entered the dining hall as ruled, and the paladins returned to the barracks behind the church under the guidance of their commander.

Bishop Andrew did not enter the canteen today, as usual, he went to the copying room.

The scent of ink and paper in the copying room gave Andrew a look of nostalgia on his face, but it was quickly replaced by indifference.

"Why is it so slow?" a voice suddenly sounded.

Bishop Andrew's calm gaze looked through the layers of the scribe table, looking in the direction of the voice.

In the dark corner of the window, where the lamp could not cover it, a dark figure stood, dressed in the black robes of a priest's apprentice, and his eyes shining in the darkness.

"You're late, our meeting should have taken place an hour ago. Bishop Andrew did not approach him, but walked cautiously to the rest of the copy room.

"Don't look, no one!" the figure in the darkness slowly walked out, revealing his tall, tall figure.

This person is actually Zemut, the deputy chief of the security department, who is now in charge of the security work of Lion Castle!

"I hope you have good news. Bishop Andrew did not come forward, he was far away from the other person to talk.

"I don't have any information about it, the recent actions of the Security Service are public. Zemt's voice was a little cold, "And besides, I'm not going to lick Malek's ass." ”

"Okay. Bishop Andrew's expression did not change, he was extremely cold and calm, "According to the original plan, we will start acting tonight." ”

"I think we should have planned ahead!"

"Advance?" Bishop Andrew walked over to a copying table, ran his fingers lightly over the clean paper on it, picked up a pen and dotted the ink, "Why?"

"Don't you think it's more dangerous at night?" Zemut subconsciously took a step forward, "Now the security force at night is stricter than during the day, and we act in the middle of the night like an open fire in the night, and we will be discovered in less than half an hour." ”

"Well..."Bishop Andrew's hand slowly slid the pen on the paper, and said with a serious expression: "... Yes, can you think the same way as I do... Don't worry, I've already arranged it, and our actions will be carried out in an hour!"

"An hour later?" Zemut subconsciously took out the magic watch in his arms, and an hour later, around seven o'clock in the evening, it was time for the various families in the city to gather for dinner.

"Hopefully, your plan is good enough, the security service is equipped with monitoring devices in various areas of the city, and if you have no way to evade the monitoring of these devices, it is better to be cautious. Zemut reminded, "Nepdo Quint is now staying in the garrison camp all day, and if the guard finds our sacrifice, the garrison and elven mages will arrive in half an hour at most." ”

"Don't worry, we've got enough people for them to catch. ”

"I hope so. Zem nodded as he took a few steps towards the door of the copy room, "How did you plan the assassination, we'll have a chance in half an hour..." I'll replace all the guards with my guys. ”

"I'll arrange for someone... I'll do it myself when necessary!" Andrew stopped copying in his hand, took out a magic scroll from his cuff, and threw it to Zemt, "When the time comes, we will act together, we only have one chance, whether we succeed or not, and tear this teleportation array immediately." ”

Zemut's eyebrows furrowed, "You're going to do it yourself?"

"Do you think we still have the conditions to continue to lurk after this incident?" Andrew shook his head, "There is no way to keep such a large-scale operation absolutely secret... And don't you think we have a good chance of success, why keep lurking?"

Zemut hesitated for a few seconds before nodding silently, then walked out of the copy room without looking back.

...

On the third day after the arrest of Voz Pedro, the seventh meeting of the city council was held.

The continuous meetings have exhausted the legislators and almost paralyzed various departments in the city. But no one complained, because for many, Woz Pedro's case was nothing compared to the work they did.

Although, after such an incident, Woz Pedro's political life will definitely be over, the parliamentarian who has a relationship with Woz Pedro will not allow him to be held and executed by the guards. After all, they want to prevent Woz Pedro from biting indiscriminately in times of desperation.

The quarrel erupted at the very beginning of the meeting, and the parliamentarians had long since run out of patience to listen to Malek's feeble explanations.

"Councillor Malek, it's been three days, and your dungeons have been stuffed with criminals you've arrested!" Dempto-Bob's voice was reprimanding, "but you haven't given the City Council an accurate answer until now, and there's no follow-up evidence for Councillor Woz's case. ”

"With the evidence in your hands, there are no prerequisites for suing Congressman Wads in court. He pointed to Malek's nose, "You should release Councillor Waz immediately and submit your resignation to Parliament." ”

"You're a selfish political opportunist, and you don't deserve to sit here. ”

"Get out of this hall, damn fool. ”

"You deserve to be investigated the most, and you have a place in the deepest dungeon of the Guards. ”

The councillors who were linked to Woz Pedro, led by Dempto Bob, immediately attacked Malek, as if he were already a heinous criminal at this moment.

Hearing these words, Malek subconsciously looked at Penny Reagan, the speaker of the first seat, but the other party lowered his head and flipped through the papers, and his usual allies also avoided his gaze one after another.

"Whew" Malek let out a long breath, the corners of his mouth were a little bitter, and there was a sudden desire in his heart to give up what he was doing, but then such thoughts were abandoned by his strong willpower. Then, the wrinkles on his face slowly stretched, revealing a formulaic smile, and slowly explained:

"First of all, not all of the people arrested by the Security Service in the last three days are criminals... Maybe I didn't use the word 'arrest' very accurately, we just asked them to go back to the police to help with the investigation... This decision proved to be the right one, and our agents found many problems through the investigation and interrogation of these people. ”

"You need to make public what the guards have found. "Temple-Bob is in the linguistic pursuit.

"Unless you can change our laws now, I won't show my findings. Malek was quite insistent on this, "The case file is with me, and I will be responsible if something goes wrong..."

His meaning was clear.

"You—" Temple-Bob's tone froze, "you're making excuses for your incompetence. ”

"I'm really incompetent. Malek looked at Dempto-Bob with a playful look, "The reports we've written about the past few days of investigation can fill the archives of the Security Service, and you—" he pointed to Temple-Bob, "Dear Councillor Dempto, there's a lot more to the report about you than you think, and if you insist, I'll release that part about you first." ”

"You're investigating me?" Dempto-Bob snapped up from his seat.

"No, you can't say that. Malek raised his shoulders innocently, "It's our agents who said something about you during the interrogation, and we just recorded it according to the rules." ”

"You're a violation!" Dempto-Bob glared at Malek, then at Penny Reagan, "My lord, I'm sure I'm not the only member of parliament under investigation, and what Malek is doing now is long beyond his purview, and I suggest that he be immediately quarantined for review." ”

Penny Reagan looked at Malek expressionlessly when she heard these words, and she was naturally very dissatisfied with Malek's overstepping behavior.

But now that he deals with Malek, who will he hand over the case to?

"I think," Penny Reagan looked around, "that Congressman Malek should be given a little more time, after all, the case he has in hand is at stake for the safety of the entire city... If we remove Malek, who will he hand over the case?" she looked at Temple-Bob, "You, are you up to the task?"

When Dempto Bob heard Penny Reagan's rhetorical question, his straight face was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly. So, I had to withdraw my aggressive gaze from Penny Reagan and look at Malek again, "but I can't let him be so nonsense!"

"Three days!" Penny Reagan looked at Malek with three fingers, "you have three days to deal with the problem in your hand, and if it is still the same in three days, you can submit your resignation yourself." ”
