Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 311 You are a person with your own opinions
The next day.

The inspection team has been stationed at the law enforcement headquarters.

Regarding the Solomon issue, there are hardliners within the upper echelons. Judging from the patrol team's demeanor, just as Nero said, they are indeed prepared to investigate thoroughly. For some, if the series of murders in Nanwei City can be definitively linked to the Solomon gang, it would be beneficial for them to take other measures to sanction the Solomon.

Of course, these are not issues that local law enforcement teams need to consider.

It would be good to investigate thoroughly.

But to Milo's surprise, these guys went a little too far in their investigation, even getting involved with him.

Yes, the first person summoned by the patrol team after they entered the Nanwei City Law Enforcement Headquarters was Milo.

……

The inspection team was formed by the county council and led by the court. Its members included the board of supervisors, and its armed personnel included the county law enforcement team and personnel transferred from the army.

Well, this is a team with such a complex composition that it's difficult to describe in a general way.

But without a doubt, anyone associated with the terms "Control Yuan" or "Control Yuan members" is more or less inclined to target their own people.

Before Milo departed for law enforcement headquarters for questioning, Rebecca spoke to him with utmost seriousness—

"Don't underestimate the inspection team."

That's all for this.

I reckon Rebecca didn't know how to fully express her meaning either.

Fortunately, Milo's reading comprehension skills are quite good.

"I see."

This was his response to Rebecca.

……

The basic nature of the inspection team can be simply understood as a scaled-down version of a county council. In a council, where people are constantly arguing and bickering, there will definitely be at least two different factions on a particular issue, namely, those who side with the Solomon and those who oppose the Solomon.

Therefore, the composition of the inspection team is probably about the same.

If half of them are there to do business, then the other half are definitely there to cause trouble.

And unsurprisingly, these troublemakers first targeted Milo, the unfortunate fellow.

After all, he was originally pushed out by the other two local inspectors to take the blame, making him an obvious target.

...

In fact, Milo had already thought of all the questions the other party might ask on the way. If nothing unexpected happened, they would probably try to push him into a fire pit as much as possible, and might even investigate his background in depth, or question his motives for entering the law enforcement system.

In short, this is the area of ​​expertise for lawmakers, and Milo is well aware of it.

……

"These individuals are a senior inspector from the county law enforcement department, a councilor, a court representative, and a lieutenant colonel from the Northwest Army Command..."

In the law enforcement headquarters meeting room, the bald inspector gave a brief introduction of the members of the inspection team.

Milo could only vaguely remember the organizations these people represented. As for their names, he couldn't remember any of them. These high-ranking special envoys from the county level were basically arrogant and looked down on people.

It is worth noting that the county councilor, Max Johnson, was among those who infiltrated a team primarily composed of combatants.

Generally speaking, although politicians can be very outspoken, they usually stay within the comfort of their own constituencies and rarely venture out.

There is only one type of legislator who is willing to take a hands-on approach: someone who is prepared to make a difference in the next election.

Perhaps he's planning to make an issue of the Solomon gang, or perhaps he's actually one of them. In any case, he's someone to watch, because his attitude is currently the most ambiguous, and Milo can't tell which side he's on.

As for the rest, the senior inspector and the court representative were simply following orders, the army bigwig was there to fight, and the Inspectorate was purely there to cause trouble. ...

When Milo questioned them, the questions were initially fairly normal, mainly focusing on the case itself. They verified some details of the Derby murder case.

Of course, one can't help but ask Milo why he didn't report it immediately after discovering that his colleague had been killed; there are many similar idiotic questions.

But generally speaking, Milo was able to give relatively normal and reasonable answers to these questions.

But as time went on, the content of the questions began to change.

"Do you possess any evidence or clues that could directly identify Solomon?"

Milo began to sense something was amiss, but calmly replied, "First of all, I didn't make that judgment, and secondly, I have no clues either."

"How do you think we should deal with these killers who are harming the people?"

“It’s very clear in the law, Mr. Inspector.”

"So, from a personal perspective, what is your view of the Solomon Gang?"

“Law enforcement officers should not let personal biases or prejudices influence their exercise of power, which may differ from the style of your members of parliament, Mr. Johnson.”

—"Are you willing to appear in court to identify Solomon?"

"Are you questioning my loyalty to the Scythe of Judgment?"

"If you are loyal enough to the Scythe of Judgment, then I think you should cooperate with the investigation."

"Isn't this exactly what I'm doing right now?"

—"I meant suspension for observation."

"But if I remember correctly, I am still a member of the task force."

……

"We don't need a special task force anymore!"

The army lieutenant colonel's opening remarks were indeed extraordinary.

He interrupted Milo and the congressman's back-and-forth, pointing at Milo and saying:

“You are suspected of dereliction of duty. What kind of punishment you should receive is a matter for your law enforcement team. What I need are all the case reports and clues. Let our team deal with the killers in the city. We will not get involved in anything else.”

……

Milo sat calmly in the conference hall, silently contemplating for a moment before looking up again at the high-ranking officials before him:
"Is it simply because the assassin wasn't reported in time?"

“This isn’t directed at you; you’re just unlucky to have run into this.” The Johnson County councilor tapped the list of task force members on the table twice with his finger.

"The ones who are really going to suffer are these people. They can no longer contribute any extra value to the law enforcement team. But you are different. You are a new generation, the top scorer in law enforcement assessments. Neither the county law enforcement department nor the court has any reason to use you as a scapegoat. The key is how you choose. You are a young man with your own opinions. Think carefully about the questions I just asked you."

The county councilor has already been blunt enough.

Milo stared at the names on the list on the table.

He then looked up at the county councilor's clean-cut face with a red beard.

He calmly untied his weapon pouch and placed it on the long conference table, smiling contentedly.
"From now on, I don't know anything. Remember to tell me who the real culprit is later."

……

Soon, the harmonious atmosphere in the law enforcement headquarters conference room was restored.
