Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 290 The Problem

In addition, Milo also caught Yan, who was on duty on the street.

Yan understands Milo very well:
"Don't worry, I passed through your area on my way here, and everything was peaceful and nothing happened there. You can rest assured."

……

At least it gave me some peace of mind.

When Milo rushed back to the law enforcement office, there was no chaotic scene as he had imagined. Almost all the law enforcement officers had been dispatched to the streets, leaving only a few clerical staff at the office.

Rick also ran up from the basement to help. The bodies of the dead outside hadn't been brought back yet, and he still had a little free time.

Seeing Milo soaking wet and smelling the pungent stench of blood, Rick muttered under his breath, "You look terrible."

Milo took off his hat and tossed it to Rick.

"Huh? None of the cases we've been able to solve have caught the killer. You look like you've been ganged up on?" Rick asked, puzzled.

"You might not believe it, but I was the one who ganged up on others."

Milo took off his trench coat and tossed it to Rick.

The latter reminded:

"Since there's nothing else, you might need to go to the law enforcement headquarters. Old Theon has already gone there. The three inspectors went to the crime scene to direct the investigation. They are currently holding an emergency meeting at headquarters. All the case files have also been sent there. I heard that the chief of police was also pulled out of the hospital and discharged early."

"With such a huge mess, she definitely can't sit still."

Milo nodded.

……

...

transitions—

To Milo's surprise, the real chaos and disorder occurred at law enforcement headquarters.

The casualties this time are even more severe than those in the Gorki incident a while ago.

When Milo first heard these figures, he couldn't help but be surprised. It wasn't that he hadn't expected the Men in Black to have other accomplices in the city, but to be able to commit so many murders in different areas at the same time, even if each person was responsible for one, it would still take at least 23 people.

Including the six who hunted David, where did this assassin team of around 30 people come from?

……

In the lobby of the law enforcement headquarters, Nero and two other law enforcement inspectors were in a state of utter distress.

There was a mountain of case files piled up on the table.

Milo sat at the end of the long table, casually pulled out two sheets of paper, and placed them under his wet bottom.

There are quite a few people who do the same thing as him, after all, everyone present had just arrived from the scene of the crime and was soaked to the bone.

……

Even Theon and Rebecca, who were on leave due to serious injuries, were present.

Milo even met with a representative of the church—Dilashaw.

When the other person made eye contact with Milo, he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Logically speaking, church personnel should not be present at high-level meetings of the law enforcement headquarters.

However, when Nero mentioned the fire at the church orphanage while summarizing all the cases, Milo understood why Diracho was at the law enforcement headquarters.

But at the same time, one can't help but wonder—why would those bastards attack an orphanage? According to Milo, the orphanage is full of innocent children and women. Could they just be a group of perverts seeking revenge on society? Randomly creating violent incidents? Is it purely revenge?

But it doesn't look like it at all.

In what happened in the north of the city, it was clear that they were after David. Even after David mutated, they were willing to risk their lives to kill him, which is not something an antisocial madman would do.

Moreover, they have a list, and Milo's name is on it. If nothing unexpected happens, Theon's name will probably be on it as well.

This could not have been a random act.

……

Milo rummaged through the table for a long time before finally finding the orphanage case file under his bottom. He could only pull out the wet file and painstakingly read the blurred and soaked words on it.

Fortunately, the fire at the church orphanage did not cause serious casualties; only one teacher was seriously injured, and all the children were safe and sound.

If I remember correctly, Robben's daughter Daisy stayed in that orphanage.

Milo couldn't imagine how Rebecca would go crazy if anything happened to her.

Fortunately, the problem wasn't too serious.

Of course, this only means that the problem is not serious at the orphanage.

This is because it is the only case without any fatalities; in all other cases, at least one victim has been declared dead.

Moreover, the vast majority of them are ordinary people.

Following the Gracki incident, law enforcement headquarters increased street patrols, with law enforcement officers and city guards roaming the streets almost every night.

Perhaps the order can be strictly enforced throughout the city for the first few days after it is issued, but after three to five days, it will naturally begin to be relaxed.

Only the area with 24-hour patrols remains, which is estimated to be the city's very center; everything else remains the same.

I believe that everyone present at this emergency meeting is fully aware of these circumstances.

To put it bluntly, those at the bottom who were carrying out the tasks only dared to relax their vigilance because they had the tacit approval of the people present.

The number of law enforcement personnel is ultimately limited; otherwise, there would be no need to bring in the city guards as the main force for night patrols.

However, there is a deeper reason behind this, namely, the cost of expenses.

The combined wages for a 10-hour shift system and a 24-hour shift system are completely different.

That's right, the order was given in this way.

But whether the financial administrators of Nanwei City are willing to pay this money is anyone's guess.

However, judging from the silence of everyone being reprimanded and the fact that Nero and others didn't mention the lax patrol management, it's likely that the money is nowhere to be found. It's even possible that the only purpose of the martial law order is to put it on the front page of major newspapers for a couple of days as a publicity stunt to create a sense of security throughout the city, nothing more.

In fact, if law enforcement officers were really watching every street as the order says, the number of case files on the table could be reduced by half.

But it's too late to say anything now.

This problem is left for the city's top management to worry about. The further back you sit at the long table in the meeting, the less you need to worry about it. People like Milo, sitting in the corner, only need to focus on how to finish the seven cases they have on hand.

……

Of course, Milo was more puzzled by the origins and intentions of this group of men in black.

It was obvious that they came to kill, but the will they displayed and conveyed made Milo feel a strange unease. They didn't seem like simple criminals, nor like avengers, nor like the kind of madmen from a clan who carried out killings for some kind of doctrine.
