Shelly's words were a bit shocking, and everyone in the room looked at the young man beside her.
He was the new inspector?
Luke was also very surprised by Shelly's sudden shooting of the new inspector.
Shouldn't she trick him to a place where there was no one before she attacked?
Now...
The man died on the chair and spilled a large pool of blood on the ground.
As a leader, should he sit or not?
Shelly, Shelly, you were rescued from prison by Agatha, but you were not put in an important position. Wouldn't you reflect on it?
"Go, get rid of the body and get me a new chair," Luke said to Pisco.
"Yes, Inspector!"
Pisco was very strong. He carried the body of the new inspector and the chair out of the door. Soon, he brought a new chair in.
Under everyone's gaze, Luke walked to the inspector's desk and sat down.
He put his cane aside and placed the inspector appointment letter in the drawer.
And then...
"I'm very, very dissatisfied with the way you handle things! Originally, I should have secretly dealt with this person, and then I would have taken the appointment letter to take office.
"Everything should be done according to the procedure so that it would not alarm anyone.
"However, because of your random arrest, this major inauguration incident has seriously affected the progress of the mission the Eldest Princess has given me!"
Shelly and Pisco immediately stood up straight.
"Apologies, Inspector!"
Luke waved his hand and said in a gentler tone, "Since it has already happened, I don't want to punish my future subordinates on my first day in office.
"What happened today was... someone came here with a forged inspector appointment letter to cheat. In the end, he was recognized and killed on the spot.
"There shouldn't be any objections, right?"
Letting an imposter sitting in the office of the inspector of the Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau with an appointment letter was definitely a major inauguration accident.
Especially when he was on the Eldest Princess's secret mission.
Once the headquarters investigated and found out the cause of the incident, the Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau would definitely be held accountable.
If this incident was described as being deceived by an imposter, then the Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau would be credited instead of being in the wrong.
The inspector took office as usual.
Everyone was happy.
Writing case reports was the specialty of the Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau.
As for Luke's identity, no one in the room doubted it.
Pisco had already informed them in the morning that they should not rush to confirm the identity of the new inspector and should not let him wander around.
Everything would wait until Black Mamba arrived.
It meant that he knew that there was something wrong with the new inspector.
After reading the appointment letter, Black Mamba shot and killed the "new inspector" without hesitation. She also said that it was under the order of the Eldest Princess and that she should have found out about the new inspector through another channel.
Perhaps the order was in the secret pattern.
Moreover, Black Mamba came so late today, and she came with the new inspector.
Basically, Black Mamba and Pisco knew that the inspector and the letter of appointment would arrive separately.
It was just that something went wrong in the middle that caused the imposter to take office with the appointment letter.
In any case, it was best to minimize this matter.
Everyone said together, "It was the inspector's wise command."
Done!
Luke's worried heart finally relaxed.
It would take some time for Clear Sky to gather the materials needed for the secret technique. His current strength was not suitable for him to run around in this world. Being able to sit in the inspector's office of the Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau was better than being scared outside.
The most important thing now was to collect all the things needed for the secret technique as soon as possible.
Only with strength could one deal with the ever-changing situation.
"Since everyone has agreed... Karina!" Luke called out the name of the confidential secretary in the inspector's office.
Karina was a very young and introverted girl. She wore a light green female professional suit and a pair of exaggeratedly large black-rimmed glasses.
Her light yellow hair was combed to the right to cover her right ear.
Luke knew that her right ear was a metal earlobe that was connected to the brain's nerves, giving her extraordinary hearing and memory, but it also made her feel a little inferior.
"I-I-Inspector! If there's anything, please tell me."
"I'll leave this case report to you. Write down everyone's contributions."
"Yes, Inspector!"
A bad thing turned into a good thing, and everyone had a good impression of this new inspector.
"Alright, there's no need for you to introduce yourselves. I know everyone's information. If there's nothing else, go out and do your work."
"Yes, Inspector!"
Luke's "subordinates" walked out of the office one by one.
When Shelly was about to go out, Pisco stopped her and said to Luke, "Inspector, two vicious murders happened in our Cape District last night. Many people had died in the warehouse area of Windbreak Alley and the headquarters of the Wild Axe Party.
"Especially the Wild Axe Party... Their boss, Bull Horned Demon Giant Tree, was dead. Nearly half of their members were dead, and their vitality was greatly damaged!"
Luke thought to himself, "Wasn't this my doing?"
Moreover...
"What does this have to do with us? Shouldn't the Cape District's Security Department be in charge?"
Pisco looked at Shelly.
Shelly didn't expect such a big thing to happen last night.
She explained for Luke.
Wild Waves City had a total of six urban areas, and each district had a branch of the Secret Intelligence Bureau.
Although all the branches of the Secret Intelligence Bureau were directly under the headquarters of the empire and had no direct relationship with each other, most of the funds for the activities of the branches came from the city's finances, except for a part of the funds allocated by the headquarters.
Therefore, the distribution of this portion of the money fell into the hands of the central branch.
"Inspector, the funds given to us by the headquarters can barely maintain the normal operation of this place. The money allocated to us can be finished after a few drinks.
"The spies and secret agents who are not in the establishment had to be paid, and there are also various visible and invisible expenses.
"As for the central bureau... they used the excuse that the tax collectors' money had to be used to protect the tax collectors, priority was given to the new town area and the wealthy district. The urban area of our Cape District is the size of three districts, but the money allocated to us is only one-tenth of the other districts or even less.
"The Secret Intelligence Bureaus in other urban areas had more than a thousand spies, including those who were not made public. Our bureau only has 400 people, both in the open and in the dark. How can it be enough to manage such a large urban area?
"Therefore, we accepted some financial aid from merchants and gangs.
"The Wild Axe Party is one of our biggest sponsors. This time, their boss was dead. Countless people wanted to take over the business they controlled.
"As the backer of the Wild Axe Party, if we can't protect them at this time, the other sponsors will lose confidence in us."
Pisco, who knew more about the development of the incident, added, "I've already sent a group of people to the headquarters of the Wild Axe Party to stop those people from the Security Department. We have to respond as soon as possible, or else the headquarters of the Wild Axe Party will be swallowed by the Security Department!"
