Malz and Otto walked side by side, followed by a team of twelve patrol officers.
"Are you really sure that the mastermind behind the baby theft case is on Cork Street?"
As they were about to turn from Dar Alley into Cork Street, Otto once again questioned Malz.
His tone was harsh, even somewhat accusatory.
Everyone in the Shire District knew that Malz was no longer the Malz of old, a man intent on retiring, who had become weak and easily bullied.
Even when confronted with overly excessive incidents, he would choose to swallow his anger and say nothing.
In the beginning, Otto had been cautious around Malz.
But as the other officers tested Malz and he did not resist, Otto began to feel more confident and bold.
Just like this time—
Malz had clearly uncovered the mastermind behind the baby theft case but called him for help, an act of sharing credit that, if it were anyone else, Otto would have refused and been wary of whether they were setting him up.
