Chapter 539 Transformation Plan

The captives were more cooperative than expected. Rather than being sent to the church for the "assassination case", they were basically more willing to become "peripheral members" of the detective agency - the kind with a minimum service period.

Considering the possibility that these prisoners might defect again, although Doug didn't know much about technology, he still stated in advance the detective agency's rules for treating traitors, and that the detective agency had the ability to track them for a long time, such as fingerprint recognition and special extraordinary abilities.

"Not very good at technology" actually became an advantage at this time. As Wayne listened to Doug's simple report, he could even imagine how exaggerated Doug could be with the previous newspaper to describe the detective agency.
That is to say, when these guys were captured on the spot, they may have felt the pressure before Inissa's ability erupted, so they did not question it - or maybe they "questioned it but did not dare to speak it out."

Doug had already thought of the "home visit" trick in advance, and suggested that before they officially join the company, the detective agency might go to the home address they provided to conduct a background check. If necessary, they could also apply to partners for family member protection.

This can indeed be done.
Background checks are recognized as an effective screening method. As for the so-called "family member protection," you can consider setting up a small community in Blackstone Town. It won't take up much land, and it might be quite effective. It might really reduce some of the agents' worries.

But after thinking about it for a while, I always feel like something is wrong...

Especially after Wayne heard that Liam, who came back with Doug, had also gone to "persuade them to surrender", he couldn't help but wonder if this guy was exaggerating the matter again.
For example, "Be careful our boss might kill your whole family"...

Sanders next to him was very experienced. Seeing that Wayne's expression was not right, he rolled up his sleeves again.
Liam immediately hid behind Doug, half of his head tilted out, "Boss! I haven't done anything wrong today, right?!"

You're still planning to pay me on a daily basis, right?
Wayne thought for a moment and said, "Go find Ryan and tell him that I asked you to find him and ask him to take you to familiarize yourself with the situation of the First Office. He knows what I mean."

"I'm going to the office to get a raise?!"

Liam was happy for a moment, but then his expression changed immediately. He stopped and swallowed, "You don't want them to leave me hanging in the wild, do you? Otherwise, I'd better cooperate with Sanders?"

"Go!"

"Aye, Boss!"

Compared with the current manpower shortage, a few prisoners can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, and they cannot be used right away. At least they have to receive a period of special unified training or something.

For now, Wayne can only "copy homework" in this regard. He does not beat prisoners, does not search their pockets, treats the wounded, and is willing to keep and recruit them. He also has "eliminating doubts and fears", "grievance movement", "combining reform and religion" and so on.

But those with criminal records cannot be let go easily. Those who "escape quietly" may be tolerated, but as for those who "bite before leaving"...

Secretly reminding people to take precautions and see if any "cases" pop up on their own. When the time comes, they must be made into "typical cases" to scare the monkeys.

The detectives may also need to adapt. After all, there is still a difference between "trustworthy" and "having a criminal record".

Or maybe just change the agents' badges a bit?
It can be divided into gold, silver, bronze, iron, etc. Gold is not very good, as it is heavy, expensive, and attracts thieves. It is okay to make it into commemorative medals for senior agents or arenas.

Since these prisoners can be used, the prisoners who are currently recovering from injuries in the base camp can also be considered.

The captives in the base camp are from Cohen Pharmaceuticals. Maybe they can be sent back as reverse undercover agents... Even if they are not actually turned, the detective agency can consider promoting it in this way. It would be good to send the chain of suspicion in.

When I told Lina about my idea, she also had a lot of ideas.

How should we describe it? It has a flavor of "harming the harmony of nature but not the harmony of culture".

Hmm... After all, the detective agency is just a small civilian organization. There is no need to turn it into a life school or a truth church. I feel that Inissa will not pass the review - the Hunter Association does not do these things, either live in peace or even pursue "clean and neat" slaughter.

However, Lina's trick can be used for "deterrence". Just explaining it in class as the "advanced experience" of hidden organizations is exciting enough. Maybe it can be put to the test in a "typical case".

Under normal circumstances, Wayne would prefer to use the "peaceful and more effective" method he knew, which had been proven effective in practice on the peninsula.

While perfecting the plan and listening to the children's reports, after dinner, Inesa came back with Connor and "Shock".
She had no objection to the reform plan for the prisoners. Connor and the others seemed a little surprised after hearing it, and Shock was even busier writing a letter:

"Such a good job opportunity is actually being offered to the prisoners? I have to hurry up those guys who don't want to leave Kansas City, so that they don't end up being treated the same way as the prisoners."

amount……

No wonder I just saw Doug also taking time to write a letter…

But it is not a big problem. Now, Mr. Russell's commission alone is enough to open at least several offices. I am afraid that even if all the friends from Kansas City come, it will not be enough.

Inissa brought dinner to the room, while Wayne and Lina began to summarize and analyze all the current intelligence.

After talking about the situation here, Inissa seems to have gained a lot:
“There are indeed doubts in that case. It is very likely that it was done by the corresponding personnel on the list given by Reverend Tyrell.

"We interviewed some people who knew about the case today. Some of them noticed that there were suspicious people around the house at that time, and they still remember the person's appearance. If we confirm the target's appearance and identity according to the address, and assume that the conditions are consistent, although it may not overturn the previous verdict of the case, it is possible to find new clues."

Wayne had not paid attention to the case that Inesha was investigating before. Fortunately, Inesha's memory was reliable enough that she could recount the news in the newspaper at that time just by recalling it.

Simply put, it was an ordinary homicide case. The victim was a local reporter who had lived in Richmond for many years and had no background. The murderer on trial was his rented neighbor.

Although from the perspective of the motive for the crime, the murderer had a bad relationship with the deceased, and was witnessed to have a dispute and physical conflict with the deceased that day, and he also publicly threatened to "strangle the other party with a bed sheet", it seems a bit flimsy no matter how you look at it,

However, the deceased started missing from the next day, and was finally found strangled to death by a bed sheet in his own home. This was a bit too "unfortunate".

So there were witnesses, motive, ability to commit the crime, no alibi, and the jury members all agreed that he was guilty.

Even though the murderer himself did not confess, the foreign coachman was soon sent to the gallows.

If it were in the past, Wayne might not have doubted the authenticity of the results of such cases.
However, after Tom Hagen's "Cathedral Murder Case", he has gained a new understanding of the secretive nature of the methods used by some local people to commit crimes.

Assuming there is a "real murderer" behind this case, and he had already planned to commit the crime,

So it seems reasonable to change the modus operandi temporarily after seeing or knowing that the target is arguing with others...

At least intuitively, it makes more sense than "the victim invites his enemy into his home" - if someone you don't have a good relationship with comes to your house, if it's in Black Stone Town, it would be good enough if the two of them don't fight directly at the door.

reporter……
