Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 55 Oh, my ears!

"Wait a minute!"

Just as a scene of near-explosive conflict was about to unfold, Milo suddenly saw a familiar figure flash past him.

At this moment, the other party also recognized Milo.

Both sides said the same thing in unison:

"Why are you here?"

……

"Uh... I'm here to find my hat."

The man with the buzz cut, wearing the same black trench coat as Milo, was Old Theon. He probably hadn't expected to run into Milo at the pleasure house. He looked Milo up and down, as well as Eileen in his arms, and asked with a strange expression:

"Then what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to help you find your hat."

Milo calmly moved Eileen away from him and said, "You don't need to keep an eye on me anymore. I'm not here on a mission. Let's meet up another time."

Eileen bit open the bottle cap and gulped down two big mouthfuls. Leaning against the wall in the hallway, her face slightly drunk, she asked Milo in a teasing tone, "Did you run into your boss? Hehehe~~ It's okay~ What's there to be shy about? Let's hang out, I don't mind."

Milo was completely at a loss for words in response to Eileen's lewd remarks. He raised his hand to his waist to make sure both of his guns were intact, and then said:
"I'd better slip away now."

At this moment, old Theon also caught sight of the revolver at Milo's waist, and his expression immediately changed:
"Damn it, why are you out here with a gun? Have you forgotten what I told you yesterday?!"

“You should transfer your weapons before you leave work. I’m on a field mission right now, so there’s nothing wrong with carrying a gun…” Milo’s rebuttal sounded weak and feeble to himself.

"..." Old Theon took two or three deep breaths:

"You get out here right now."

……

10 minutes later.

A riverside road, far from the core urban area.

Milo and old Theon each led their horses.

He asked old Theon, "So, are you going to find happiness or pain...?"

"Do you know what that means?" Old Theon asked, speechless.

“I know a little bit about it. Anyway, they’re very happy, but I’m in pain watching them.” Having witnessed the spectacular scene atop the Hedonistic Tower, Milo certainly knew the gist of it.

"Aren't you going to explain why you went to the pleasure house?" Old Theon shrugged.

"What's there to explain? Didn't you see it all?" Milo adopted a "what's the use" attitude, too lazy to argue: "Besides, you were in there too, so we're in the same boat."

Old Theon stopped and said very seriously to Milo:
"Nobody knows who the real owner of the Pleasure House is, but I don't recommend that you expose yourself to those high-level forces as soon as you join. It won't do you any good. Although the Pleasure House is ambiguous about the law enforcement officers, nobody knows what they're up to... If you really can't stand it, just find a girlfriend. Why waste your money here?"

"Row."

Although this line seemed absurd in a conversation between two P-Kers, Milo understood that Theon wasn't joking.

……

Under old Theon's urging, Milo returned to the law enforcement office and handed over his revolver, ending his career as a law enforcement officer the following day.

But Milo didn't rest on his laurels; there was something he was eager to verify.

After saying goodbye to old Sean at the law enforcement office, he went straight to the private hospital in the city center.

Milo showed his identification to the hospital staff, asked for a list of inpatients, and then went straight into the inpatient building.

However, after entering the hospital building, he found a secluded corner at the end of the corridor and took off and hid all his items, including his trench coat and cold weapons. As for the most conspicuous hat worn by law enforcement officers, he had already left it at the law enforcement office.

After removing his overly conspicuous equipment, Milo's appearance is not much different from that of an ordinary person.

Following the markings on the hospital admission list, he quickly located the "Cillian Sherman" ward.

Yes, the kid is still in the hospital.

I heard that after the Day of the Dead, the hospital performed three surgeries on his "good brother" alone. As for the specific details, no one knows. The only thing that is certain is that the result was not good.

The Sherman family even spent a fortune hiring professors from major medical schools to treat him, but the situation was not optimistic; it seemed that the thing could not be reattached.

Then Cillian broke down and now he's suicidal every few days. His mental state is extremely unstable, so much so that the hospital has to give him sedatives regularly so as not to affect his treatment.

Milo could only be thankful that Emma was his sister; he had nothing else to say about the outcome.

……

However, the Sherman family is, after all, a top noble family in Nanwei City. They were able to clear out an entire floor of wards in such a top-notch private hospital to house servants and bodyguards.

This vacated fifth floor is usually off-limits to anyone except doctors and nurses.

Milo saw the bodyguard in formal attire guarding the main entrance in the hallway.

But this was no challenge for Milo at all.

He glanced at the exact location of Cillian's ward, then leisurely made his way up the stairs to the 6th floor of the inpatient building.

……

...

Meanwhile, in Cillian's hospital room, after receiving his daily dose of sedative, Cillian lay on his bed, fast asleep. Compared to the night of the Day of the Dead, Cillian, who had been bedridden for many days, now had a beard and a much paler complexion; in just a few days, he looked ten years older.

This is the most luxurious VIP ward in the entire city of Nanwei. The luxurious decorations make it look more like a hotel suite than a hospital. Not only that, this hospital also has the most advanced equipment and top-notch medical talent. Of course, the treatment price is also at the top level.

But some things, once broken, are broken; once they're rotten, they're rotten. No amount of money can bring them back, hehe.

Furthermore, who could have imagined that while the son lay unconscious in his hospital bed, the father was still indulging in debauchery and sensual pleasures, acting as his scoundrel?

……

Dylan is not here.

But Dylan's wife was there.

A well-dressed lady sat in the living room of the suite, wiping away tears with a sorrowful expression.

Although she is over forty years old, thanks to her superior living environment and years of skincare, the woman's figure and skin look more than ten years younger than her peers, and her complexion is better than that of Milo, who usually has dark circles and red eyes.

As a mother, seeing her son in such a miserable state was heartbreaking, but having grown up in a traditional aristocratic family, she could do nothing but cry every day because she knew nothing.

"Don't worry, he'll get better."

A deep, husky male voice echoed in the living room.

The speaker had a sinister face, a nasolabial fold, and gold-rimmed glasses. He was none other than Cillian's uncle, Harrison, the head of the inspection team who had been forced to retreat by Dillashau at the law enforcement office on Day of the Dead.

“How can he get better… When he woke up today, he told me he didn’t want to live anymore, that he wanted to die with that family…” The woman covered her face and wept, her whole body trembling slightly.

"Anna, believe me, I won't let them get away with this. I'll make them pay for what they've done!! None of them will escape!"

Harrison made no attempt to conceal the murderous intent in his tone.

The tone of those words sounded all too familiar to Milo; Harrison had used the same tone to threaten him outside the detention cell at the law enforcement office.

……

Next…

A strange scene appeared.

The woman nestled in her husband's younger brother's arms and sobbed.

As time went on, the woman gradually stopped crying, comforted by Harrison.

Subsequently, their conversation began to deviate from its original course.

"The doctor gave Xiao An a sedative," the woman whispered in Harrison's ear.

Immediately afterwards, the two figures became entangled on the living room sofa.

……

...

this? ? ? ?

At this moment, Milo was sitting on the windowsill outside the living room.

Heaving heavy breathing and foul conversations coming from inside the window made Milo feel completely awful.

Not long ago, Milo almost went blind on the tower of the pleasure house, and now he really wants to gouge out his own ears...

When the two sides locked in a fierce battle in the living room addressed each other with kinship terms, yet uttered lewd remarks like "if it doesn't work out, just have another one," Milo's expression was priceless.

……

Even as Milo left the hospital with his gear and walked home, the scene on the Hedonistic Tower kept flashing through his mind, along with the sounds from the hospital ward.

Seriously, birds of a feather flock together.

There isn't a single normal person in the whole family; they're all incredibly eccentric.

Rebecca had told Milo that he had only seen the tip of the iceberg of the aristocratic power, but Milo never expected that the other parts of the iceberg would look like this.

……

The first thing Milo did after returning home was to write down the information he had gathered that day in his notebook.

He crossed out the line connecting Dylan and Cillian in the original tree diagram, redrawn a line connecting Cillian and Harrison, and then connected Harrison's sister-in-law, Dylan's wife.

“Hmm… Cillian is Harrison’s son.”

Milo recalled the crocodile's words earlier—"Have you ever thought about why Dylan's own son, Cillian, was stabbed by you, but it was his uncle Harrison who, in desperation, rushed to the law enforcement office to bite people?"

"That makes perfect sense."

Milo looked at the "corrected" tree diagram of the Sherman family members.

If he was still confused about how to deal with Harrison before, he now has a clear idea in his mind.

……

"just came back?"

Emma's voice suddenly came from behind.

The crack widened, and they accused me of being lewd and blocked my previous chapter. ToT
