Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 292 What are you doing here again?

“I’m in charge of the Derby case, I’ll figure out a solution.”

Milo raised his hand, indicating that they should just pass the buck to him and he would take it.

The bald inspector glanced at Milo: "I remember you, Valrokan. You were the top scorer in the new law enforcement assessment, one of the elite of the younger generation. You shouldn't have made such a basic mistake."

"Ahem, what's with all this talk about elites? Young people still have a lot to learn."

The one-eyed inspector, who had been silent until now, waved his hand:

"There are so many cases on the table, and the Derby case isn't the only crucial one. Besides, only young people have the right to make mistakes, right? Learn slowly and make amends. Go and investigate the Derby case thoroughly, Milo. At least this series of assassinations did start with Derby. Since you're in charge of this case, and Rebecca's injuries haven't healed, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders."

“We will set up a task force to investigate this series of murders. The members will include law enforcement officers at all levels and county inspectors. Mylo, you are the first member to join the task force.”

At first glance, his words sounded like those of a kind and earnest person, but upon closer examination, it's not hard to see that he was essentially pressing the pot on Milo's head even tighter.

Regardless of whether the task force can ultimately resolve the series of assassinations, Milo is definitely not going to escape.

If the case can be solved, then everyone will be happy.

If the case can't be solved, the task force will be the last to be handed over as scapegoats, and Milo is the unlucky one among them.

After all, everyone here is a professional, and it's obvious to anyone with eyes that this series of assassinations could only be the work of top experts in the industry. There is no such force in China, so the only possibility is that it is an overseas force.

Under normal circumstances, a smart assassin would flee immediately after completing an assassination mission and would not linger around the crime scene.

Therefore, the probability of the task force solving the case is almost zero.

……

After that, the three inspectors conveyed other details of the mission deployment, but those operational strategies had little to do with Milo.

In the final list of the task force, Milo and Theon were both included.

It's worth mentioning that near the end, Dillah Shaw suddenly suggested that he also hoped to participate in the investigation.

“Allowing the church to participate in this meeting is already the greatest respect the law enforcement system can show to the church. If the church is willing to help us, it should focus on other things, such as trying to appease the residents of the city, especially the victims.” The inspectors flatly rejected Dillasho’s suggestion.

But Dillah said calmly, “We will naturally take care of reassuring the public, but this concerns the safety of hundreds of children in the orphanage. We still don’t know why the orphanage became the target of the assassination, nor do we know if similar incidents will happen again. Don’t forget that the orphanage is the only case in this case without any deaths. Those children are the most vulnerable and the most likely to be attacked again… For the sake of these children, and so that you can have a better explanation in the Supreme Court, let me join the task force, even as a consultant. By the way, my major in university was criminal psychology.”

Dillah Shaw's words left everyone present looking at each other in bewilderment.

It must be said that the reason he finally gave was very touching. It wasn't what courses he majored in, but rather his mention of a final "explanation".

Imagine if, when it comes time to divide the blame, the higher-ups discover that there are church members among the task force, they might have to reconsider the strength of their words when holding them accountable for dereliction of duty.

Don't forget, the entire ruling system, from the royal family to the two houses of parliament to local councils, is 99% church members.

If we think about it this way, if we could really tie the task force and the church together, it seems like the pressure would be reduced a lot.

Although it sounds ridiculous, the fact is that even before investigations into dozens of cases have begun, the people at the meeting have already prepared for the worst and arranged the best course of action.

……

“That’s settled then. I will directly oversee the task force, and Mr. Dillashau will join as an advisor representing the church.” Nero, true to his old fox nature, was the first to step forward and take control of the task force under his own command in this situation.

The addition of Dillah Shaw slightly altered the nature of the task force, which was originally supposed to be responsible for taking the blame.

Whether it will eventually rot and stink or taste sweet and delicious depends on the technique.

……

Milo stared silently at Dillah.

He couldn't quite figure out what this kid was up to. Milo saw right through the three old inspectors' little schemes, but De La Shaw had no reason to get involved in this mess. He was supposed to be the one putting pressure on the law enforcement team, solidifying his victimhood and forcing the law enforcement system to solve the case quickly—that's always been the way the church and the law enforcement system have always interacted...

Hmm—something's strange.

Milo squinted.

At this moment, Dillash also gave Milo a meaningful look.

That gesture was as if to say, "You're welcome, bro, I gave you a hand."

……

"Dozens of assassinations and murders, this is no easy case to investigate. Fortunately, you're all young, and you're all quite energetic." The one-eyed inspector, cigar in hand, glanced at the group.
"I feel more at ease with Brother Nero watching over me. After all, whether they are elite or not is just talk. These assassins are extremely professional in their methods. So keep your eyes wide open when investigating cases. Don't risk your life. This is not shooting practice in a law enforcement academy. This is not child's play."

It sounds like a warning to everyone.

But his words were actually aimed at Milo, since the elite were referring to him as the top scorer in the law enforcement assessment.

Milo had no idea how he had offended these two Onmyoji. It was as if they would only be happy if he stepped into a latrine.

……

End of the meeting.

Milo, Theon, and Delashaw stood at the entrance of the law enforcement hall.

"I'm here to take the blame, what are you doing here?" Milo looked at Dirashau with a puzzled expression.

"I was just following orders from the pastor," Dirac said, his usual gentle smile never fading.

"And how come you, a disabled person, were also included in the task force?" Milo turned to look at old Theon.

"What? I'm a disgrace to the enforcement team. They'd be happy if I were to die in the line of duty." Old Theon lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and spoke without restraint.

……

Meanwhile, in the main hall of the law enforcement headquarters, beside the long table where the meeting had already ended, Rebecca questioned Nero:

"Why won't I be allowed into the task force?!"
