Chapter 494: Secondment

Damn Secret Investigation Bureau!

Looking at the other "male police officer" who had been sitting in the corner early before she got on the carriage, the female prisoner, who had fallen into a "trap," was so angry that her face turned red.

What about believing her confession and taking her to the Bobby Laien family for confrontation and investigation; what about the official vehicle being occupied, so they had to take ordinary municipal transportation; what about the carriage not having enough seats, so a female police officer had to escort her alone…

A trap! It was all a trap to make her lower her guard!

Plus the bandage that suddenly malfunctioned, no matter how she urged it, it had no reaction… She had likely suffered the betrayal of a traitor and had her identity recognized from the very beginning!

Thinking of herself during the interrogation at the Secret Investigation Bureau, where she had been trying her best to disguise herself, the female prisoner felt like a clown. The pitying expression of the interrogator when hearing her "encounter" also turned into mockery full of playfulness!

Liars! You are all liars!

Discovering that she had actually fallen into such a bad trap, the furious female prisoner ignored the pain in her shoulder and neck, twisted her head hard, and questioned the female police officer who was pinning her down:

"You knew, right? You knew from the very beginning, right?"

I… knew what?

Confused by her nonsensical questioning, the female police officer was about to ask in detail, but felt her body tilt forward. The whole carriage began to decelerate and stopped toward the parking space on the side of the road. It turned out they had arrived at the station.

The moment the carriage stopped, all the passengers on the whole carriage 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 boiler sound. Apart from 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 pinning 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 on the carriage, if they didn't hurry to get off and leave after arriving at the station, did they still want to stay and watch the fun?

Even the couple who had been shrinking in the corner and were clearly scared out of their wits stood up tremblingly, hugged each other in horror, and tentatively said to the female police officer who was blocking the middle of the road:

"That… we seem to have arrived at the station, you… you… can you…"

"…"

Understanding that they weren't arriving at the station, but didn't want to have 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?"

"Rest assured, 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 intention of making trouble, the female police officer turned her head slightly, glanced at the female prisoner with a face full of resentment, and explained:

"The things you just heard are a bit sensitive, so please go to the Secret-related Section of the Secret Investigation Bureau of the Police Department within thirty minutes to register and receive some simple secret-related training."

"Rest assured, this process is safe, and all expenses incurred by the two of you on the way, as well as the time delayed, will be compensated."

"However, please register as soon as possible. If the registration time and your riding records have a large gap, or if you have contact with too many other people in the process, the subsequent secret-related investigation might be a bit troublesome."

"Then… then we'll go now!"

After the couple fled the carriage in a hurry, the female police officer, who had completed the basic finishing work, twisted the resentful female prisoner and stuffed her into the seat against the carriage wall, then looked at Li Ang on the other side with full confusion.

Although she was quite confident in her own skills, the female police officer also clearly knew that if Li Ang took advantage of her suppressing the prisoner to attack from behind, he could at least force her to give up grappling and create an opportunity for the female prisoner to escape.

But he didn't take action, instead sat back in his seat directly. Apart from putting on his coat again, he had no other movements until now, and even leaned inward as if to avoid suspicion.

So… what exactly do you want to do?

… "Stop staring at me, okay? I'm really on an external mission… Speaking of which, people left very 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 after looking around, he took the initiative to change the subject:

"Just hearing the three words 'Secret Investigation Bureau', the whole carriage of people left until not one was left. Your Secret Investigation Bureau's reputation is really loud~"

"…"

Hearing Li Ang's slightly mocking evaluation, the female police officer couldn't help but feel a blockage in her heart, but knowing her department's reputation, she was powerless to refute, so she could only glare at Li Ang:

"Were you just…"

"I heard everything just now."

After admitting that he was pretending to sleep without any avoidance, seeing that he couldn't change the subject, Li Ang said calmly, blocking the topic in advance:

"However, I am currently performing an important external mission, so the secret-related registration matter can wait. I'll do it when I'm done."

"…"

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 with a face full of caution:

"Two, does my carriage… continue to go?"

Yes, does it continue?

Hearing the ticket-selling landlady's question, the female police officer couldn't help but be slightly stunned, 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 likely be subjected to endless interrogation, trying to dig out all information related to the rebels.

As for her husband's matter, and all the crimes committed by the Bobby Laien family, they wouldn't even be ranked 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 event.

So if she sent her back immediately, that respectable review officer's tragic encounter 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 Bobby Laien family."

After taking the "command" in time, Li Ang, who believed that if he let her escort the prisoner back alone, she would likely be killed by that bandage on the way, directly reached out and pointed at the female police officer.

"Also, during this period, have her compensate for the missing carriage fare."

"Ah?"

"Don't 'ah' anymore. You are now seconded and need to prioritize supporting my work."

Taking out the batch note book he got from the Red-haired Director when he pulled the file, and showing the female police officer the header belonging to the "administrative level" on it, Li Ang took out a black charcoal pen from his arms and filled it out with a swish.

【Reason for secondment: Encountered anomalous situation during external mission, need manpower】

【Object of secondment: One police officer from the Secret Investigation Bureau】

【Content of secondment: …】

Writing to this point, Li Ang couldn't help but hesitate, then looked up at the somewhat confused female police officer and asked actively:

"When your Bureau is seconded, what is generally filled in here?"

"…"
