Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 34 Big fish eats small fish

“I do know some things. If you’re really interested, we can talk about it. But… you saw it too, didn’t you?” Milo smirked and shook the handcuffs on his wrists. “The gentleman behind you just described in detail several ways our family of four could die. Why don’t you talk to him first? That way, I’ll know who’s in charge.”

Dillah Shaw's smile deepened as he glanced at Emma behind Milo:

“If I’m not mistaken, Team Leader Sherman must have said something extremely disrespectful to women, but that’s a common problem among nobles… Alright, wait a moment.”

After saying that, he stood up and turned to Harrison.

"Um... it's like this, Mr. Team Leader, I have a document here drafted by your department chairman. It's quite long, but I can give you a rough summary. It's about reporting your private lifestyle issues and considering your removal from your current position. The ink might not be dry yet; it's freshly written. You should be able to recognize whose handwriting it is, hehe... Oh, but the document hasn't been stamped or signed yet. Would you like to take a look?"

Dillah Shaw's actions were exactly the same as Harrison's when he stepped into the law enforcement hall half an hour earlier. He held a document in both hands as if he were showing off something. Although he didn't say anything outrageous, his arrogance was extremely overbearing.

"I don't understand you."

Harrison's face had turned very pale by this point.

He reached out to take the documents from Dillah's hand, but Dillah casually moved his hand back slightly.
"Huh? I only said you could take a look at it, I didn't say you could touch it."

“…What do you want?” Harrison’s eye twitched.

He couldn't possibly go over and look at it; that would be too undignified. Besides, there was no need to look, because he knew very well that if the church wanted to, with De La Shaw's status, he could definitely get his hands on such documents. The church had a hundred ways to remove him as the head of the oversight group, provided that the action would yield a commensurate reward.

What Harrison couldn't understand was what kind of magic the kid in the cell possessed that would make the church resort to such means to protect him.
This is no longer a legal or compliant action; it is a blatant threat, a threat against an individual, an act of directly bringing a sordid transaction into the open for discussion.

But Harrison had no way to deal with it.

……

"How about we exchange them?" Dirac shook the documents in his hand and continued, "You should have already compiled the evidence of the Valrokan family's crimes. Give me this collection of stories you've compiled, and I'll give you this one. How about it?"

Harrison's knuckles were almost turning blue from gripping the cane so tightly.

He couldn't accept this outcome, but he had no choice but to accept it.

Even if he forcefully leaves with Milo's incriminating documents, once the document in Dillashau's hands is stamped and becomes effective tomorrow, he will no longer be a member of the Oversight Committee, and the case in his hands will be transferred to someone else. The incriminating evidence he just compiled will be treated as waste paper.

In other words, Harrison gave up his position for nothing.

……

Thus, the two sides reached a consensus and exchanged the documents they had.

Without a word, Dillash tore up several sheets of white paper filled with evidence of Milo's crimes in front of Harrison and Rebecca.

Harrison knew he didn't need to stay there any longer, and with a livid face, he left the law enforcement office without looking back.

"Now can we have a proper talk?"

Dillasho brushed the scraps of paper off his cloak and turned to look at Milo.

“If this is a free favor, I think your church will gain a new believer,” Milo grinned.

“No rush, who can say for sure about these things? I believe the Golden Rule will eventually resonate with you.” Dillah Shaw was completely unfazed by Milo’s rambling. “Let’s find another place. Isn’t it uncomfortable to chat through the fence?” Rebecca interrupted their sarcastic conversation.

Soon, the setting for the conversation shifted from the entrance to the detention cell to the comfortable office area.

Kang, Emma, ​​and Finn were unshackled and, in a state of joy and bewilderment, were led back to Rebecca's office.

Meanwhile, Milo and Dillashau found an empty office in a corner and continued to complete their transaction.

From Harrison swaggering into the law enforcement hall to his visibly distraught departure, the entire process, in retrospect, is utterly absurd and outrageous.

To sum it up, it comes down to what Milo and Rebecca said before: big fish eat little fish.

For the aristocratic class, the Church was an unshakeable giant.

Nobles are good at dirty tricks, but Dillashau's actions just now have proven that the Church can be dirtier than anyone else.

Tonight, Milo truly witnessed how these high-ranking individuals wield their power at will.

The fact that the Sherman family could orchestrate such a flawless move in less than an hour demonstrates just how formidable the power behind them is.

But tonight, it was Derashaw who truly broadened Milo's horizons, because the church was not involved in tonight's events at all. Derashaw must have obtained the information immediately and smoothed things over, taking countermeasures at the fastest speed. The level of difficulty was a notch higher than Harrison's side, and the power hierarchy he found was definitely superior to Harrison's.

This also shows the importance of that strange totem in the eyes of the church.

This also strengthened Milo's resolve that he must not easily hand over the totem.

So his reply was as follows:
"On the night of the incident, before Robben discovered me, I hid in the shadows and observed him for a while. He was very insane, talking nonsense to his daughter's corpse. I only vaguely remember him mentioning a doctor, saying that he had completed his mission and that the doctor would soon be able to bring his daughter back to life..."

"What were the exact words?!" For the first time, a sharp glint flashed in Dirasha's eyes.

“It’s roughly like this…” Milo pretended to be trying to remember: “Daddy has already given the things to the doctor, and he will be able to save you soon, baby, don’t be afraid… that’s about it.”

“Okay.” Dillash nodded.

Although he was trying to control himself, Milo could still sense the excitement in his heart from his slightly trembling hands.

“I have one last question for you.” Dirachoon stared intently at Milo:

"When you first entered the crime scene in the sewers, what did the walls look like?"

"wall?"

Milo shrugged naturally:

"Who could remember that? I almost got stabbed to death by him that day."
