Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

To be honest, this is the kind of investigation that the congressmen are most worried about. Although everyone thinks that Lawrence Security has not done anything bad, what if something is really found out?

Isn't this bad?

This was the first time Field had been so bluntly accused and rebuked since taking office. His face instantly turned red and white, and he responded with suppressed anger, "Regardless of whether the accusation is true or not, since it has been initiated, it must go through the procedures. It is not up to me to decide whether to abolish it. Inspector Harrier, watch your words and actions!"

Harrier sneered at the angry curse and shouted, "Director Field! This is my jurisdiction! The Grand Harbor District is demanding an investigation into the companies in the King District without going through any procedures. Who gave them the courage? They simply disregard Her Majesty the Queen and the strict laws. And I heard that Roman from the Grand Harbor District is not even in Newlon Port right now. Who asked for the investigation?!"

"Fuck your jurisdiction! Newlon Port is my jurisdiction!" Field grabbed the file on the table and threw it at Harrier's face, cursing, "How dare you question my loyalty to the Queen and the Kingdom?!"

"When I followed Duke William to fight the Battle of Ansu, you, Harilburn, were still sucking your mother's milk, and Cookburn was still sleeping on a woman's belly!"

Snapped!

The archive papers all hit Khalil's face.

The papers were scattered all over the floor. Harrier stood up with a dark face and said word by word:

"I am now going to apply for a counter-investigation against the Greater Harbour District. I want to know who is trying to bypass procedures and commit such a heinous act.

"Chief Field, please approve my investigation request now."

After he finished speaking, Field almost laughed out of anger. This Haril Burn was simply pushing himself into the fire pit.

The City Hall is not easy to deal with, but the Suppression Bureau is easy to deal with?

"It's not allowed!" Field stood up and swept all the files on the table to the floor. "You go to the city hall and find a solution yourself!"

After saying that, Field left the meeting room angrily.

Bang.

He slammed the door of the conference room.

The conference room was completely silent. The inspectors all looked at each other, and finally all their eyes were focused on Harrier.

Harrier forced a smile and soothed him, "My colleagues, this is truly unfortunate. But I'm determined to handle the Grand Harbor District. Fielder draws a royal salary, but we brothers still rely on taxes and donations! He left easily, but we can't just walk away."

After he finished speaking, all the police inspectors took it very seriously and echoed his words.

"Although Inspector Harrier did go a little too far, he was forced to do so."

"Yes, Field has been there for too long. He has no idea of ​​our situation. I'm just a police inspector, and I only earn sixty pounds a month... The police station's operating funds are all allocated from district taxes. Without Lawrence's security, half of our King's District Police would be paralyzed. Who will guarantee the safety of those nobles and members of parliament?"

"Even if Lawrence Security did something excessive, there's no need to make a fuss about it. Wouldn't a fine be enough? Everything was going well, but then Roman came and caused all sorts of trouble. His men are still holding onto the body, and those child laborers only cost a dozen gold pounds each, yet they've made it so embarrassing..."

The crowd's voices gradually turned to Khalil.

Harrier nodded with satisfaction and said, "I sincerely thank everyone for their understanding. Although Director Field has left, we must continue the meeting."

"The Grand Police Department's interference in our affairs is excessive. Scarlett, one of Roman's subordinates, is actually trying to bypass procedures and enforce the law. This is simply unreasonable!

"Next, let's discuss the counter-investigation operation against the Grand Harbor District. This time, we'll drive that Roman and his accomplices back to Silver Castle! Now, vote."

"support!"

"support!"

With a clatter, the police inspectors from various streets in the King District raised their hands.

.....................

.....................

Outside the door of the Port Area Headquarters, under the street light, Field's hands were shaking with anger as he lit a cigarette with trembling hands.

This is the most embarrassing incident he has encountered since taking office!

That Harrier was completely out of his mind. He had no idea what it meant to go against the Anti-Suppression Bureau. Behind the Anti-Suppression Bureau was the Grand Police Department, and behind the Grand Police Department was the Silver Castle.

The royal family is not yet at the level of a mascot like the iris!

Some people have been on the local council for so long that they forget what the iron fist of Silver Castle feels like.

Once Roman reacted, what awaited them was a sinister and vicious counterattack. That was why Field had been trying to stall instead of striking out directly.

The pungent smell of tobacco made Field cough and tears flow.

Just as his vision was blurring, a tremor like an earthquake was heard on the already dark street.

Field was choked and raised his head inadvertently, and his coughing stopped instantly.

Huge figures appeared at the end of the street.

The iconic silver-white riveted armor plates, the stacked cooling fins, the billowing white smoke, the hot melt giant sword shining with a crimson glow, the black 20mm grenade launcher...the cigarette butt in Field's hand fell to the ground.

Field took a few deep breaths and shuddered, his forehead covered in sweat. He said in disbelief:

"Fuck, the Knight of the Church..."

Volume 1: Chapter 78: Order and Procedure

It was snowing heavily in New York Harbor today, and the strong wind was banging on the windows of the Harbor General Administration as if it was urging death.

In the conference room, Harrier stood up under the gaze of a group of police inspectors and made specific arrangements for the counter-investigation operation that was about to be launched.

Among these inspectors were not only those from the King's District Police Station, but also department heads from the Port District Headquarters.

Field was forced away by Harrier, and theoretically these department heads should have followed Field, but it was not the case - the Port District Headquarters and the King's District Police Station were next to each other, and the funding of the Headquarters basically relied on the security taxes of the four districts.

This amount of money is very small, because one-third of the security tax has to be allocated to the municipal government, one-third is left to the local police station, and the remaining one-third reaches the headquarters.

At the same time, the Beigang District was too poor and the Bell Tower District had low taxes. One of these two places was a gathering place for industrial population, and the other was a home for scholars and churches, so the General Administration had to make additional allocations.

After all the back and forth, there was very little money left, and everyone was not a non-stick pan like Field, so Lawrence Security's initiative to pay was naturally welcomed with a smile.

As for the special investigation into Lawrence security—that's too bad.

Harrier said loudly, "Since Superintendent Field has not rejected our counter-investigation, the city will initiate the plan and, through the New York Harbor Court, entrust the King's District Police Department to conduct the investigation."

A police inspector weakly raised his hand and said, "Chief, what about the missing persons case?"

Khalil glanced at the inspector.

The inspector shuddered.

The inspector next to him came out to smooth things over and said, "Okay, Albert, you know that missing persons cases are very difficult to handle.

"Have you forgotten the last case we handled where the Chamber of Commerce president's youngest son was kidnapped? If the kidnappers hadn't been tempted by the money and revealed their true colors, we wouldn't even be able to find them!"

Another inspector said, "If a living person goes missing, there might be some traces left, but if a dead person goes missing, it's a real problem. Besides, if the person is dead, why bother investigating so much? Besides, they're from the workhouse. Those bastards don't even have any relatives or friends."

The voices of the police inspectors rose one after another, all urging Albert to be more positive.

But Albert was a young man not yet thirty years old, far less sophisticated than the old police inspectors.

In particular, the church "inspected" two poorhouses in his neighborhood.

It was Sister Isabella, the leader of the expedition team he personally dealt with at the time. Sister Isabella had a serious expression on her face, and her gaze seemed to be piercing his flesh!

Albert said a little worriedly: "Chief, but the missing person case has been filed after all. It is not only the Dagangwan District Police Station, but also the Anti-Suppression Bureau. Should we... uh, I'm not saying that Mr. Lawrence may be related to it, but after all, the case has been filed..."

Harry laughed out loud.

He was just in need of a chicken to scare the monkeys, and then a chicken flew out.

It just so happens that the missing persons case needs a scapegoat, and since he has taken the initiative to come forward...

Haril stared at Albert with an unfriendly look, and Albert was frightened and dared not look at him.

"You want to check?"

"I......"

"Very good, Albert, you may leave the meeting now."

"Sir, I'm just saying this is a legal procedure, not..."

boom!

Khalil slammed the table and said, "Didn't I tell you to investigate according to legal procedures? What are you still talking about?

"Inspector Albert! In this country, procedure and order are the cornerstones of everything. Even the Suppression Bureau, especially the Suppression Bureau, cannot bypass procedures and exercise privileges. Just as my objection is to the Bay Area Police Department's failure to follow procedures, not their low morals or their grudge against you and me!

"Now, go through your routine and get out on the moon!"

Albert looked around at the inspectors.

The police inspectors who had been speaking up for him were all doing their own things.

Albert had no choice but to stand up angrily, saluted with regret and left the conference room.

The police officers also felt regretful: Albert was actually a good material. Compared with those of them who came from independent backgrounds, Albert was a top student at Ansu National University. If he had worked for a few more years, he might have been transferred to the National Police Agency.

Albert just walked to the door of the conference hall. The door was quite large and almost three meters high. He was about to ask the guard outside to help open the door.

But before he could knock on the door, the door of the conference hall was opened first.

The door opened and there was a steady march of steps.

His long flaxen ponytail drooped from his wide-brimmed hat, and his blue and white uniform was impeccable. His gaze was sharp, his back was straight, and his leather boots clattered the ground.

Led by Scarlett, several police officers from the Greater Harbour District who were in charge of missing persons cases raised their heads and glanced at the police inspectors present.

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Scarlett walked straight to the seat of the absent Inspector Field, took off her wide-brimmed hat, held it to her chest with one hand, and then slapped the table hard.

There was a loud snap, waking many police inspectors from their shock.

Harrier hadn't reacted yet. He didn't recognize Scarlett at all. He stood up with a frown and asked, "This is the Port Headquarters. What are you doing here?!"

Some police inspectors also recognized this rising police star who had been frequently in the newspapers recently.

But they also frowned and said, "This is a meeting of the Port District General Administration! What are you police officers from the Greater Bay Area doing here? This is not a place for you to play house. Officer Scarlett, please leave and don't interfere with the meeting!"

Scarlett had no idea what was going on, and the police inspectors including Harrier were even more bewildered by the policewoman's reaction.

The other police officers stood on both sides of Scarlett, surrounding the inspectors at the conference table. This inexplicable action made the inspectors suddenly feel a little nervous.

Immediately someone shouted, "Where's the guard? Where's the guard? Get these people out!"

Scarlett didn't respond to them at all. Instead, she gestured to the police officers, "Prepare for action."

The policewoman who had just taken office was actually extremely nervous, and her legs were shaking.

The police officers revealed their submachine guns from under their uniforms.

The police inspectors broke out in cold sweat.

Harrier was horrified and furious. "This is simply lawless! Officer Scarlett, your actions represent the Greater Harbor District Police Department. You brought weapons without authorization and barged into the meeting of the Harbor District Headquarters, and violently coerced your superiors. Are you from the Greater Harbor District Police Department planning a rebellion?!"

Scarlett said, "Inspector Harrier, please cooperate with our investigation."

"What action!"

"On behalf of Acting Director Tia Sulph, we request a thorough investigation into Lawrence Security. This should include, but is not limited to, the source and destination of Lawrence Security's funding, personnel composition, business operations, tax status, and tax usage... as well as Grimm Lawrence's private contacts with the underground Serpent Gang and the overseas cult, the Twin Snakes.

Harrier laughed angrily.

This is even more excessive than the previous investigation requests!

Harrier flatly refused, "Where's Roman from the Suppression Bureau? Without Roman's signature, the King District Police Department and the city government will definitely not approve the Suppression Bureau's investigation order, let alone Tia Sulph, the acting director!"

Scarlett simply ignored Harrier's refusal and said, "I'm sorry, but your refusal is invalid."

"In the name of Tia Sulph. In the name of Silver Castle.

"Silver Castle has signed Investigation Order No. 1, requiring the Newlon Port Defense Bureau to immediately launch a special investigation into Lawrence Security. Anyone who obstructs this will be charged with treason!"

As soon as Scarlett's voice fell, the police inspectors present immediately broke out in cold sweat.

No one could have imagined that Tia Sulph would actually bring down Silver Castle.

He was just a newcomer who had just taken office, had no background at all, and came from the slums. He happened to be appreciated by Roman and was promoted to a high position because of the lack of talent in the Anti-Suppression Bureau!

How could they have dragged Silver Castle over so easily to sign an investigation warrant?! And this was actually the number one investigation warrant that could directly lead to treason!

Without waiting for them to continue racking their brains.

Boom! Boom!

A tremor like an earthquake shook the water cups on the conference table to the ground. The nearly three-meter-high door of the conference hall was just big enough for the power armor of the Knights of the Church to pass through.

Four silver-white knights, who could be called war machines, flashed the hot melt swords in their hands, stomped on the threshold with a bang, and walked straight in.

With a click, the visor of the leading silver knight was removed, revealing Isabella.

Isabella raised the molten sword and said coldly, "Seven Gods above, the Father of All shines forth His glory. By order of the Bishop's Palace of the Archdiocese of Newlon Harbor, the Third Detachment of the Armed Forces Knights is coordinating with the Newlon Harbor Defense Bureau to handle the Twin Serpents Cult's evil cult sacrifice incident."
