Chapter 511: Bureau Chief is Not Easy to Be
What? Little Li Ang has already been taken away?
Listening to the situation relayed by the gentle beauty in front of her, the red-haired bureau chief's fox eyes narrowed subconsciously, and her expression was not very good as she asked:
"Why so fast? For a big case of this level, shouldn't it take two or three weeks to investigate first?"
"I also feel a bit strange."
Ai Ma, who took the red-haired bureau chief's warrant to pick up the person but came up empty, frowned:
"Leaving death row is a good thing, but the person who took Li Ang away has a very special status. No matter how I asked, the people there refused to tell me."
"This is not hard to guess."
After thinking for a while, the red-haired bureau chief, who was quite familiar with the situation in the capital, said:
"The Duke of Lionheart is the Vice Speaker of the Upper House. Although the Lionheart family has been declining for decades, it is still the recognized face of the old nobles, so this case is indeed very troublesome.
Being able to interfere with a case of this level and take the person away before the investigation is completed, besides us, there are only the Speaker of the Upper House, the Prime Minister, and the Princess who represents the King's will."
Saying this, the red-haired bureau chief glanced at Ai Ma lightly, looked at her expression, and then continued to explain:
"Because of the coup six years ago, the Speaker's seat in the Upper House is temporarily vacant, and the Prime Minister's side couldn't have reacted so fast, so the person who took him away can only be that Princess."
"I see."
Ai Ma nodded upon hearing this, then said with a normal expression:
"If he was taken away by that Princess, then Li Ang's safety should be fine... Do you need me to run over there and bring him back?"
"No need. The less we intervene in normal society, the stronger the suppression effect of the Watch Palace, and the lower the intensity of abnormalities in the range.
And if the Princess took him away, it might be the best result. As long as the Princess can suppress the Prime Minister and the Chamber of Commerce, Li Ang can come back by himself, but he might have to be locked up for ten days or half a month."
After rejecting Ai Ma's application, looking at her eyes that were as calm as a mirror lake, the red-haired bureau chief couldn't help but sigh.
"Ai Ma, six years ago I didn't agree to help with that favor, are you..."
"Bureau Chief, don't talk about the past."
After interrupting the red-haired bureau chief, Ai Ma lowered her eyes slightly and said calmly:
"That was when I was ignorant and didn't know your difficulties. You being able to withstand the pressure to take me in was already very difficult; it was my fault for making such an excessive request."
"..."
"But you still haven't given up, right?"
Looking at her good friend who was avoiding her gaze, the red-haired bureau chief rubbed her eyebrows hard and said with exhaustion:
"With your level, there was no need to practice marksmanship long ago, but you have practiced sniping specifically for the past two years, and you even made an agreement with little Li Ang to let him help you once with the soul vision of that sheep..."
"This shouldn't violate the bureau's regulations, right?"
After interrupting the red-haired bureau chief for the second time, Ai Ma said calmly:
"I won't use any abnormal objects, and Li Ang won't know anything. Everything has nothing to do with the bureau.
Even after completing the revenge, I don't plan to escape and will go to surrender immediately. Isn't a life for a life okay?"
"Okay, of course it's okay..."
Looking at her eyes that were ten times harder than rock, knowing that she absolutely couldn't be persuaded, the red-haired bureau chief had to nod helplessly and held onto the last hope:
"Then what about your daughter? Is she ready?"
Hearing the red-haired bureau chief's words, Ai Ma was silent for a moment, then changed the subject:
"Nine hundred and ninety-seven people named Alman have died under the red cedar tree in front of my house; it doesn't matter if there are two more."
Keenly capturing the hesitation that flashed in her eyes, the red-haired bureau chief hurriedly said:
"But can't you really wait a bit longer?"
"I have already waited for six years..."
"Since you have already waited for six years, why not wait a little longer? It doesn't need to be too long, just wait another month.
Think about your daughter; her birthday is coming up soon. I don't have the qualification to stop your revenge, but you might as well wait another month, finish her last birthday, okay?"
"..."
"I... I'll think about it again..."
"Then think about it first. Remember to let me know in advance when you have a decision."
After letting go of Ai Ma's arm and watching her leave her office, the red-haired bureau chief leaned on her seat with a melancholy face, wishing she could be drunk and never wake up. First, it was the newcomer she was very optimistic about and praised vigorously in front of the Taurus director, who inexplicably poked a big hole, suspected of being involved in the Bobby Laien family's internal strife, and even being framed as the murderer who slaughtered the big nobles.
Then it was her good friend and the bureau's ace employee, who, after enduring for six years, was finally prepared to abandon everything in the near future to avenge her clan members who were all executed during the coup.
And besides these two things, she had to keep an eye on the nobles who were colluding with the Chengjin Sect, guard against the True God behind the Red Brick Road Hospital incident, warn and deal with the Chengjin Sect that was clearly crossing the line, investigate several abnormal situations that had appeared in the capital recently, and launch an investigation against the Aquarius director...
"Sigh!!!"
After sighing heavily, the red-haired bureau chief, who was a bit overwhelmed, picked up the wine bottle, took a big gulp of tea, then pulled over a discarded file, listed the things she needed to solve on the back, and then thought about it with a worried face.
Originally, little Li Ang's matter was the most urgent, but since he was taken out of death row by the Princess, it was temporarily not a worry. She just needed to prepare to deal with the bureau's follow-up investigation.
Ai Ma's matter was even more urgent, but she had no good way for the time being and could only drag it out with her daughter's birthday, dragging it for one day at a time until she had a way.
As for the rest... the investigation against the Aquarius director needed time to confirm, the several abnormal situations in the capital could be assigned to other cleanup staff first, and the True God behind the Red Brick Road Hospital hadn't had any movement.
And after the Chengjin Sect caused trouble, worrying about her retaliation, they had long since hidden and basically stopped all activities, making it impossible to catch anyone, and even those nobles who colluded with the Chengjin Sect were...
"Knock, knock, knock."
Just as she was looking at the list on the table, worrying about where to start, the office door was knocked.
"Come in."
After receiving the red-haired bureau chief's response, the office door was pushed open, and a dark-skinned, honest-looking little old man with bloodshot eyes walked in quickly, carrying a bag of things.
"Who are you?"
Facing the red-haired bureau chief's surprised inquiry, the little old man didn't answer immediately, but put the cloth bag in his hand on her desk, and then said:
"I am the owner of Charle Department Store. This is the branch of the Cleanup Bureau in the capital, right?"
After briefly introducing his identity, Old Charle untied the cloth bag, took out four locked small metal boxes, and placed them on the table one by one.
"In these four boxes is something you call an 'abnormal object.' When encountering trouble that cannot be solved, as long as the conditions it proposes are met, it will answer and help me solve a problem."
This is... an abnormal object delivered to the door?
Covering the list on the table with her hand to avoid being seen by the other party, the red-haired bureau chief nodded first, then narrowed her eyes:
"This is indeed the Cleanup Bureau, and we are indeed doing the work of dealing with abnormal objects. However, we generally do not accept employment, and even our own existence is confidential.
So can you tell me where you learned about us? And why did you send this abnormal object to us?"
Looks like I found the right place.
Hearing the red-haired bureau chief's words, Old Charle, who was very haggard, breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed to the boxes on the table and said excitedly:
"It told me!"
"My daughter was kidnapped a few days ago and hasn't returned yet, so I asked it a question. It said that as long as I send it here and hand it to you, I can save my daughter!"
Daughter kidnapped?
Capturing the keyword, the red-haired bureau chief's eyebrows raised slightly, remembering the situation explored by Jerry's mouse friends, as well as the report on the Holy Spirit descent incident submitted by Li Ang.
Lionheart Bobby Laien, Rose Ma Sai Ni, Tower Shield York.
These three noble families joined forces to target Charle Department Store but failed, and the Holy Spirit invited to cause trouble was cleaned up by Li Ang, so they kidnapped the only daughter of the owner of Charle Department Store...
"Okay!"
After agreeing to Old Charle's request in one breath, the red-haired bureau chief picked up the four small boxes on the table, put them into her drawer, then glanced at the little old man in front of her who was relieved, and said with some difficulty:
"However, although we can save your daughter, I'm afraid you have to wait for a period of time. Sorry..."
Wait for a period of time?
Hearing the red-haired bureau chief's words, Old Charle, who had just relaxed a little, felt his expression tighten again, and asked hurriedly:
"Why wait for a period of time? Can't you find her back as soon as possible?"
"Originally, it was possible."
After sighing half-truthfully, the red-haired bureau chief said with a complicated expression:
"But the employees in our bureau who are good at finding people are a bit few, and the person most suitable for this job happened to encounter a small trouble a few days ago."
Pinching her thumb and index finger together, making a "billion" gesture, the red-haired bureau chief said "helplessly":
"He was involved in the Bobby Laien family incident and was even framed as the murderer of the 'Bobby Laien Blood Night.' Although the Princess has the heart to protect him, many councilors have big merchants from the Chamber of Commerce behind them, who have been biting him and not letting go, so the Prime Minister and the Lower House have not had a result for a long time..."
"Tell me that person's name!"
Although tortured by the kidnapping of his daughter Ai Mi, Old Charle, who had been immersed in the business sea for many years, heard the meaning of the red-haired bureau chief in one ear and promised directly:
"I am the Vice Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. As long as you can guarantee the safety of my daughter, it will take at most two days for me to fish your people out!"
