Shelly brought Luke into the office building of the Secret Intelligence Bureau.
On the way to meet the new inspector, Shelly gave Luke a brief introduction of the entire building.
The first floor of the Secret Intelligence Bureau was the office area for the ordinary Imperial Secret Agents.
There was a training area underground and a dungeon below.
The second floor was the office area for the civilian staff and management.
On the third floor, there was a confidential information room, a tactical mission meeting room, and other special functional departments.
In addition to the headquarters of the Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau, there were many safe houses, interrogation rooms, and secret prisons scattered throughout the urban area.
"Inspector, there are 128 secret agents of the empire working here, and 289 secret agents working in secret.
"After you officially become our inspector, you can open their information and officially carry out the duties that the empire has given you."
Luke followed Shelly.
If one did not know that this was the Secret Intelligence Bureau, it would look like a commercial company to them.
Moreover, it was a commercial company with no business.
Most of the spies here were idle. Drinking tea, reading the newspaper, gathering together to brag.
Even when they saw Shelly, they didn't restrain themselves. It was probably because Shelly was doing the same thing.
The Cape District was a forgotten place. The empire's administrative ability was at its lowest here. It had its own unique operating system that was not presentable.
Even a powerful department like the Secret Intelligence Bureau could not help but sink in the Cape District.
"Go and verify my identity now," Luke said. "Get the Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau up and running as soon as possible."
"Yes, Inspector."
Shelly brought Luke to the second floor.
The second floor was a large open office hall where all the civilian staff of the Secret Intelligence Bureau worked, so that the inspector could give tasks and ask for information.
There were several independent offices in the office hall, which were the offices of the inspector and the management of the Secret Intelligence Bureau.
As soon as Luke and Shelly walked into the office hall, they heard a roar coming from the office at the end.
"Is this your work attitude? Why is Black Mamba still not at work? Could it be that without her, none of you can confirm my identity?
"Send someone to look for her immediately. I want to see her in half an hour!"
A person hurriedly walked out of the inspector's office.
It was Pisco.
He had a bad expression. It was obvious that he had been reprimanded by the "new inspector" for a long time.
After seeing Shelly, Pisco finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Big Sister, you're finally here. And... Sir..." Pisco bowed to Luke and whispered to Shelly, "The new inspector arrived this morning and has been waiting until now."
"Aren't I here? Let's go help our new inspector complete his last mission."
At this moment, Shelly had no doubts about Luke's identity.
Along the way, he had been very serious in preparing for his appointment. That confidence could not be faked.
He even accepted his first mission.
It was to find Old Hirm's sons!
Luke followed Shelly and Pisco into the inspector's office.
There were several people standing in the office.
Behind the desk sat a middle-aged man with an air of arrogance. He was wearing... a suit that was similar to Luke's, a gentleman's hat that was similar as well, and a pocket watch chain of the same color. He was holding a staff and knocking on the table.
Shelly couldn't help but look at Luke.
She was very sure that Luke had never seen this "new inspector" today. Was it a coincidence that he was dressed like this, or did he know that this "new inspector" would be dressed like this?
The whereabouts of this "new inspector" had always been under the control of their "real inspector".
When the new inspector saw the two new faces, he asked in a bad mood, "Who are you?"
He had been waiting here for an entire morning and had a very bad impression of the new working environment.
Shelly walked to the desk and saluted the new inspector, then said, "Hello, sir. I'm Black Mamba."
"You're Black Mamba?"
The new inspector was not familiar with the situation of Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau. He did not expect that the captain of the Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau, which used a codename after a poisonous snake, was such a beautiful woman.
The new inspector's anger immediately dissipated a lot. He felt that he might be able to start a good life in the Cape District.
"I asked them to verify the codes of the appointment letter, but they all said they were waiting for you. It seems that your prestige and ability have been recognized by them. I believe that we will have a very pleasant cooperation.
"My appointment letter is here."
The new inspector pushed a document on the table forward with the staff in his hand, and his eyes sized up Shelly's hot body without any restraint.
"Yes, I will immediately verify the appointment letter. I also look forward to working with you."
Shelly picked up the appointment letter from the table.
Number: OEOFT3694457, that's right!
The new inspector's code name was Meteor, correct!
This was all written on the surface. The last thing was to verify the secret pattern.
In the upper right corner of the appointment letter, there was a paragraph of text that was covered by a special alchemy coating. By removing the alchemy coating, one could obtain a set of secret patterns.
The authenticity of the document could be determined by deciphering the secret information.
Shelly carefully observed the alchemy coating. It hadn't been damaged.
Then, she used a spell to remove the alchemy coating.
As expected...
"Fox, turtle, pine fish, yellow flag, foil stone, square table."
The secret codes were all correct.
This was a secret inscription personally written by the Eldest Princess.
Other than the Eldest Princess, if there was a second person who knew the secret pattern in advance, it must have been the Eldest Princess who told him.
Perhaps the Eldest Princess had written this appointment letter in his arms.
Shelly thought wickedly and re-interpreted the appointment letter using the secret message according to the program.
All the anti-counterfeit information was accurate.
"Your Excellency." Shelly respectfully placed the letter of appointment on the table. "I have already completed the verification of the appointment letter. It was written by the Eldest Princess Agatha herself, appointing Meteor as the inspector of the Secret Intelligence Bureau in the Cape District of Wild Waves City, and taking charge of the secret intelligence work in the Cape District."
After getting confirmation, the new inspector finally let out the anger he had been holding in.
"Since my appointment has been verified, I'm officially your inspector from now on.
"Now..."
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
The new inspector had a hole in his head, and he fell back into his office chair.
His eyes were wide open, staring blankly at his subordinates in the room.
Everyone in the room was looking at Shelly. She was holding the gun steadily and pointing it at the new inspector's body.
Smoke was still coming out of the muzzle.
"Do you know what you're doing?" someone exclaimed. "Do you want to rebel?"
"Black Mamba, this is the inspector that Her Highness the Eldest Princess sent us!"
Facing her terrified colleague, Shelly spun her gun and put it back into her holster.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. I'm just following the Eldest Princess's order to dispose of an envelope. The real Inspector Meteor of the Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau... is right beside me."
