Chapter 494: Secondment
Damn Secret Investigation Bureau!
Looking at the other "male police officer" who had been sitting in the corner before she got on the car, the female prisoner, who had fallen into a "trap," had her face flushed red with anger.
What believing her confession and taking her to the Laien family for confrontation and investigation; what official car being occupied, having to take ordinary municipal transportation; what the car being full, having to let a female police officer escort her alone...
A trap! It was all a trap to make her lower her guard!
Plus the bandage that suddenly failed and had no reaction no matter how she urged it... She probably suffered the betrayal of a traitor and had her identity recognized from the very beginning!
Thinking of herself, who had been trying hard to disguise during the interrogation at the Secret Investigation Bureau, the female prisoner felt like a clown. The pitying expression of the interrogator when hearing her "encounter" also turned into mockery full of teasing!
Liars! You are all liars!
Discovering that she had fallen into such a bad trap, the furious female prisoner ignored the pain in her shoulder and neck, twisted her head with all her might, and questioned the female police officer pressing her down sharply:
"Do you know, right? You knew from the very beginning, right?"
I... know what?
Confused by her inexplicable questioning, the female police officer was about to ask in detail, but felt her body tilt forward. The whole carriage began to slow down and stopped at the parking space on the side of the road. It turned out they had arrived at the station.
And the moment the carriage stopped, all the passengers in the whole car stood up almost at the same time, swarmed toward the carriage door, and squeezed down in a hurry.
The conversation between the two female police officers was low in volume and was covered by the noisy roar of the boiler. Besides the couple in the last row who were scared into a ball, basically no one heard it. But the words Li Ang said when he showed his ID were heard clearly by the passengers in the carriage.
Secret police! Then the prisoner they were holding down was likely a rebel.
Whether it was rebels who attacked and destroyed everywhere and launched multiple assassinations, or secret police who could investigate, summon, or even arrest directly as long as they thought someone was suspicious, for ordinary people, they were all existences to be avoided.
Now that both sides were gathered in the car, since they had arrived at the station, why not hurry off and leave instead of staying to watch the fun?
Even the couple who had been shrinking in the corner and were clearly scared were standing up tremblingly, hugging each other with a face full of fear, and tentatively said to the female police officer blocking the middle of the road:
"Um... we seem to have arrived at the station, can you... can you..."
"..."
Understanding that they weren't arriving at the station, but didn't want to come into contact with the secret police, the female police officer had to sigh, twisted the resentful female prisoner, and returned to her seat.
"Sorry, I'll move away, but please go to the Secret Investigation Bureau immediately."
"Ah?"
"Don't worry, you won't be interrogated, just the most ordinary secret-related investigation."
Vigilantly sizing up Li Ang, and seeing that he didn't seem to have any plans to make trouble, the female police officer tilted her head slightly, glanced at the female prisoner with a face full of panic, and explained:
"The things you heard just now are a bit sensitive, so please go to the Confidentiality Section of the Secret Investigation Bureau of the Police Department within thirty minutes to register and receive some simple confidentiality training."
"Don't worry, this process is safe, and all expenses incurred on the way, as well as the time delayed by the two of you, will be compensated."
"However, please register as soon as possible. If the registration time and your ride records have a large gap, or if you come into contact with too many other people in the process, the subsequent secret-related investigation might be a bit troublesome."
"Then... then we'll go right now!"
After the couple hurried off the car like escaping for their lives, the female police officer, who had completed the basic finishing work, twisted the resentful female prisoner and stuffed her into the position against the carriage wall, then looked at Li Ang on the other side with a face full of confusion.
Although she was quite confident in her skills, the female police officer also knew clearly that if Li Ang had attacked from behind while she was suppressing the prisoner, he could at least force her to give up the capture and create an opportunity for the female prisoner to escape.
But he didn't do it, and instead sat back in his seat directly. Besides putting on his coat again, he hadn't had any other movements until now, and even leaned inward as if to avoid suspicion.
So... what exactly do you want to do?
... "Can you stop staring at me? I'm really on an outside mission... By the way, people left really cleanly."
Considering that people who know about the existence of anomalies are often more likely to encounter anomalous events, Li Ang didn't explain what he had done, but looked around and changed the subject proactively:
"Just hearing the three words 'Secret Investigation Bureau', everyone in the car left until not a single one was left. Your Secret Investigation Bureau's reputation is really loud~"
"..."
Hearing Li Ang's slightly mocking evaluation, the female police officer felt a block in her heart, but knowing her department's reputation, she was powerless to refute, so she had to stare at Li Ang:
"Were you just..."
"I heard everything just now."
Admitting without any avoidance that he had been pretending to sleep, seeing that he couldn't pull away the topic, Li Ang said calmly and blocked the topic in advance:
"But I'm currently performing an important outside mission, so wait for the secret-related registration. Wait until I'm done with my work."
"..."
Just when the female police officer was blocked and had nothing to say, the ticket-selling landlady, who had been waiting for a long time, moved over slowly, stood five steps away, and said cautiously:
"Two, does my car... continue to go?"
Yes, should it continue?
Hearing the ticket-selling landlady's question, the female police officer was stunned for a moment, and then fell into hesitation again.
Logically speaking, after discovering that the female prisoner wasn't the "small character" she had expected, but was likely a high-level rebel, she should immediately terminate the investigation and take her back to the Secret Investigation Bureau.
But according to the Bureau's emphasis on rebels, if she took her back this time, she would immediately be subjected to endless interrogation, trying to dig out all information related to the rebels.
As for the matter of her husband six years ago, and the crimes committed by the Laien family, it wouldn't even rank in front of the assassination of the Princess. Even if she asked her father to come forward, it would be the same. All interrogations would only revolve around the assassination incident.
So if she sent her back immediately, then the tragic encounter of that respected investigation officer six years ago would likely never have a chance to be exposed to the sunlight, and those who committed evil would escape the punishment they deserved...
"Continue, but don't stop at other stations behind, go directly to the Laien family."
After grabbing the "command" in time, Li Ang, who felt that letting her escort the prisoner back alone would likely result in her being killed by that bandage on the way, pointed directly at the female police officer.
"Also, compensate for the missing fare during this period."
"Ah?"
"Don't 'ah'. You've been seconded now, and you need to prioritize supporting my work next."
Taking out the batch note book he got from the red-haired Director when he pulled the file, after showing the female police officer the header belonging to the "administrative level" on it, Li Ang took out a black charcoal pen from his chest and filled it out with a swish.
【Reason for secondment: Encountered an anomalous situation during an outside mission, need manpower】
【Secondment object: One police officer from the Secret Investigation Bureau】
【Secondment content:...】
When writing here, Li Ang hesitated for a moment, then looked up at the female police officer who was a bit confused, and asked proactively:
"When your Bureau is seconded, what is generally filled in here?"
"..."
