All of it was a trap to make her let her guard down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now the bandages, which had suddenly stopped working no matter how hard she tried to activate them… she might have been betrayed, her identity exposed from the very start!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?￠o\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling how she’d desperately pretended throughout her interrogation in the Secret Investigation Bureau, the female prisoner felt like a fool—every memory of the interrogator’s sympathetic expression upon hearing her “ordeal” now twisted into mocking sneers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liars! You’re all liars!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enraged at having been so thoroughly deceived, the female prisoner ignored the pain in her shoulder and neck, wrenching her head with all her strength to glare at the female officer holding her down:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You knew, didn’t you? You knew from the beginning, didn’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I… know what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused by her sudden, incoherent accusation, the female officer was about to ask for clarification when she felt the carriage lurch forward—slowing, then pulling toward the roadside stop. They’d reached their station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment the carriage halted, nearly all passengers rose at once, surging toward the door in a frantic scramble to disembark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women’s earlier conversation had been quiet, mostly drowned out by the clatter of the boiler; aside from the terrified young couple huddled in the back row, almost no one had heard. But the words Leon had spoken when flashing his credentials? Every passenger in the carriage had heard them clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secret police! Then the person they were holding must be a rebel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the rebels—responsible for attacks, sabotage, and multiple assassinations—or the secret police, who could investigate, summon, or arrest anyone they suspected, both were entities ordinary people fled from at all costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now both sides were present in the same carriage. Now that they’d reached the stop, who in their right mind would stay to watch the spectacle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the young couple, who had been cowering in the corner, visibly terrified, now trembled to their feet, clinging to each other in fear, tentatively addressing the female officer blocking their path:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um… we seem to have reached our stop. Could you… could you… maybe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding they weren’t leaving because they’d reached their stop, but because they wanted to avoid contact with secret police, the female officer sighed, turning the furious prisoner back to her seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, I’ll move aside—but please go to the Secret Investigation Bureau immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, you won’t be interrogated. It’s just a routine confidential matter registration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cautiously sizing up Leon and seeing he showed no signs of causing trouble, the female officer glanced sideways, using her peripheral vision to observe the terrified couple, then explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What you just heard is sensitive. Please report to the Confidential Affairs Division of the Police Department’s Secret Investigation Bureau within thirty minutes and undergo a basic confidentiality briefing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—this process is safe. We’ll compensate you for all travel expenses incurred and any time lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But please register quickly. If your registration time differs greatly from your boarding record, or if you’ve had contact with too many others since, the subsequent confidential investigation may become complicated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then… we’ll go right away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the young couple fled like hunted animals, the female officer, having completed the basic cleanup, shoved the disgruntled prisoner into a seat against the wall, then turned to Leon with a puzzled frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though confident in her own skills, she knew full well that if Leon had attacked from behind while she was restraining the prisoner, he could’ve forced her to release her grip and given the female prisoner a chance to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he hadn’t moved. Instead, he’d simply returned to his seat, putting his coat back on without further action—even deliberately shifting inward, as if to avoid suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… what exactly are you trying to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you stop staring at me? I'm really on an off-site assignment... Wow, people really cleared out quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that those aware of anomalies often became targets of further anomalies, Leon offered no explanation for his actions. After glancing around, he changed the subject:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just hearing the words ‘Secret Investigation Bureau’ emptied the entire carriage. Your bureau’s reputation is truly impressive~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Leon’s sarcastic remark, the female officer felt a tightness in her chest. She knew her bureau’s reputation too well to refute it, so she glared at him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you just…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard everything you just said.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Leon admitted he’d been feigning sleep. Seeing he’d blocked her attempt to divert the topic, he calmly shut it down:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’m currently on a critical out-of-station assignment. Your confidential registration can wait—until I’m done with this mission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the female officer was left speechless, the ticket-selling old woman finally shuffled over, stopping five steps away with cautious hesitation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies, is this bus… still going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes… should it still go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the old woman’s question, the female officer froze, then fell into doubt once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, now that she’d realized the prisoner wasn’t the minor player she’d assumed, but likely a high-ranking rebel, she should terminate the investigation immediately and return her to the Secret Investigation Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given how seriously the bureau treated rebels, if she brought her back now, the prisoner would face endless interrogations aimed at extracting every scrap of rebel intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for her husband’s past, and all the crimes committed by the Ryan family—they paled beside the assassination of the Princess. Even if she appealed to her father, every inquiry would focus solely on the assassination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if she sent her back now, the tragic fate of that honorable interrogator six years ago would never see the light of day—and the guilty would escape justice…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Continue. But skip all other stops. Head straight to the Ryan residence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing command before she could decide, Leon—who believed leaving her alone with the prisoner would result in the prisoner being killed by the bandage—pointed at the female officer:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, make her pay for the fare you lost during this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No ‘huh.’ You’ve been seconded. From now on, your priority is supporting my mission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling out the official secondment slip he’d obtained from the red-haired director, he showed her the “Administrative Level” header, then withdrew a blackened charcoal stick from his coat and began scribbling rapidly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Reason for Secondment: Encounter with anomaly during out-of-station assignment; requires additional personnel】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Seconded Individual: One officer from the Secret Investigation Bureau】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Secondment Details: …】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Leon hesitated. He looked up at the bewildered female officer and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When your bureau gets seconded, what do they usually write here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>",1177,"2026-06-20T03:18:28.556Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c54a4c590b217fa89d587a465e00d0b55fd72fbad14185cf80d70c40622e2e14","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-93","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-91",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
