381. Chapter 376: Miscellaneous Talk and Arrival 6661

Branch Chief Bulu sat in front of the desk and was a bit embarrassed, because just now, a few seconds ago, the handwriting identification expert refused his invitation.

"It looks like you didn't succeed.", Lanse bridged the pair, lighting a cigarette.

His gaze made Branch Chief Bulu feel embarrassed, and also a trace of shame!

The so-called police consultant was not a particularly amazing character, just an outsider.

If this outsider was someone like Lanse, Branch Chief Bulu wouldn't dare to lose his temper, but that was just an ordinary outsider, an ordinary person, a university teacher, with nothing special.

He was silent for a while, "I'll send someone to invite him over."

Lanse could imagine how such an "invite" was a process; he raised his hand to signal him not to do that, "How is this university teacher's income?"

Branch Chief Bulu shrugged, "I'm not very clear, it should be about one hundred dollars, if he is a bit bolder."

This professor was originally a language research expert, researching some language distribution problems in the world, because some experts and scholars believed that the whole world was once a whole.

Later, under the action of crustal plate movement, it might also be under the action of external forces, such as meteorite impact, which produced plate movement.

Eventually, it split into several continents.

Then a problem appeared: where did humans originate on which continent?

It seems that this problem is a bit boring; what if it is found out?

Could it change the current world pattern?

But for a part of a very special elite group, the upper class, this seems particularly important.

Because they believe that their race is superior to other races!

These studies relatively have no oil and water, so the income is not as high as other projects.

This handwriting professor researches things like ancient records, so he has research on characters and handwriting, and has assisted in the detection of several cases, so he was specially hired as a consultant.

Lanse thought, maybe he will use this professor or his connections in the future, so he can't make the relationship too stiff, and he has to give the other party some sweetness.

"Ask him if one thousand dollars is enough for him to work overtime temporarily?"

Branch Chief Bulu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and picked up the phone, dialed that number again, and this time, he pressed the speaker button.

After two beeps, the phone was answered, "Don't tell me it's you again, Chief Bulu."

The voice was filled with some fatigue; he was tutoring a female student, which was relatively physically consuming, and he was interrupted halfway through, so he was a bit disappointed.

He was already fifty-something years old, and rarely had such an interest; being interrupted continuously, he seemed to be unable to hold on anymore.

So his tone carried some helplessness and a little bit of anger!

"Professor, listen to me, there is a one-thousand-dollar job here, I don't know if you are interested."

"One thousand dollars?", the professor who was already planning to end the call was silent for a moment, "Are you at the Imperial Branch?"

"The city is a bit chaotic now, send someone to pick me up; you know my address, right?"

"Yes, I know, someone will go pick you up soon."

"Okay, see you later."

Branch Chief Bulu hung up the phone, looked at Lanse and revealed some helpless smiles, he shook his head, "I thought he could persist a bit longer!"

Lanse laughed and said, "This shows the truth that money is not easy to earn!"

He paused, "Has Charlie had any actions in the last two days?"

Branch Chief Bulu could be said to be completely tied to Lanse now; instead, he felt more relaxed, "I have become a marginal person now, at least Charlie and Hunter don't trust me very much."

"I heard from others that Charlie said the state government might send an investigation team to investigate the corruption of police officers."

"Charlie is asking everyone to hold together as much as possible to resist the investigation. We all know that most police officers can't stand the investigation."

"They will very likely catch a few representative figures, so we must be more united and act in unison."

Lanse frowned, "Will the consequences be very serious?"

Branch Chief Bulu looked very relaxed, but Lanse still saw a trace of solemnity from his performance, "No one knows to what extent they want to do it."

"It's not just us who have these problems now, Lanse, I'll tell the truth, all the police in the Federation are like this."

"On one hand, they can't give us too high wages, and on the other hand, they need us to do dangerous work."

"Police in some areas only have thirty-something dollars in wages, the same as those workers at the docks, yet they have to face criminal groups with stronger weapons than them!" Branch Chief Bulu looked like he was full of complaints, "They always feel that others are fools, Lanse!"

"Like if they ask us to take self-defense revolvers to catch you, I would throw my service gun and police badge in their faces now and tell them I'm not doing it!"

"We also have to consider the problem of supporting the family, consider many problems, injuries, extra expenditures because of work, and some unexpected expenditures; if we don't take some more."

"Don't talk about maintaining public security, we can't even live ourselves!"

Listening to his complaints, Lanse nodded constantly, "Yes, I have always felt that the more dangerous the work, the better the treatment should be; at least you can't let people take the lowest wages and take the biggest risks."

Branch Chief Bulu laughed twice, "The wages of the Hazardous Materials Administration are very high, and there are various bonuses."

This was obvious dissatisfaction, but there was no way; one was a basic law enforcer, and the other was the "Emperor's Long Sword" used by Congress and the ruling class to maintain their authority; the two definitely couldn't have anything equal.

Branch Chief Bulu talked and talked, and talked about the things Lanse told him last time, "About the rules you said last time..."

Lanse thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, our management system for the city is too chaotic now; some people take more money, some take less, and some hide money, which creates risks and contradictions."

"Everyone is doing the same work; logically speaking, it should be distributed equally, but there is no standard."

"How to divide the Imperial District, how to divide the Port District, how to divide the Starlight District, there has never been a clear rule."

"This has caused a certain degree of chaos, and I want to change these."

"But it's not the time yet; we are still missing some key forces!"

Lanse rubbed the ruby ring on his index finger with his thumb, "But I believe it will come soon."

Not long after, the professor arrived at the police station by police car. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Lanse in the office, but then realized that this was today's gold master.

"My name is Peter, Peter Scott.", Professor Scott had no problems in communication; without waiting for Branch Chief Bulu to introduce, he took the initiative to introduce himself.

Lanse shook hands with him and said, "Lanse White, you can call me Lanse, or Mr. Lanse, both are fine."

This was actually a bit strange, because most of the time "Mr." should be used to address the surname, but since Lanse had such a request, Peter wouldn't refuse.

After all, how to be addressed was Lanse's own business.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lanse."

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

The atmosphere and atmosphere in the academic world were relatively simple; he seemed to have heard this name vaguely, but didn't know if it was Lanse.

Randomly bringing in was a very unfavorable behavior, so he didn't think much for the time being.

Lanse took out a few notes and the things Lukaer wrote by hand, and handed them to him, "I want to know if the handwriting on these notes and the handwriting on these papers come from the same person."

"This is exactly what I am best at, Mr. Lanse; I need about three to one week."

Lanse frowned, "Such a long time?"

Peter explained, "I need to ensure the accuracy of the results; if you are not so... strict about the accuracy, I can produce a report as soon as possible."

He lowered his voice slightly, "If these handwriting identifications are used for judicial procedures, my suggestion is to give me a longer time..."

He thought Lanse wanted these for lawsuits or something, only then could it be "accurate," looking at the one thousand dollars!

Lanse shook his head, "This has nothing to do with litigation; I just want to know if they were written by the same person, but it must also be accurate and as soon as possible."

"After the matter is over, there is another job waiting for you."

Professor Scott was very satisfied with this job; earning one thousand dollars in a week without breaking the law, he wished there were such jobs waiting for him every day.

After sending Professor Scott away, Lanse also left.

Now he just needed to wait quietly for the follow-up news.

On the first day of August, the city seemed to have become much quieter and safer. In the morning, after some people got up, they could already see many state police appearing on the streets, and could even see them arresting some criminals; the public security became very good in an instant.

Today was the day the congressional commissioners arrived in New Jincheng; the state police had already begun to actively maintain order and public security.

A little after ten o'clock, the train from the special zone arrived at the New Jincheng train station. As the water vapor dissipated all at once, the train door also opened.

Many congressmen had come to New Jincheng over these years, and every time the battle was not small; this time was no exception.

If anyone knew something about Likai State, they could see the Deputy Governor here; he stood in the front position.

As a pair of shiny leather shoes landed on the ground, the smiles on the faces of these people who came to greet him became vivid!

At this moment, this congressman was the focus of these people and the core of this city! ===== CHAPTER 381 =====
