World War I

Chapter 43 Sheriff's Position
The search team searched the forest for a whole week, and although trace expert Saranchi was able to find the mammoth's path from subtle details.

But everyone was disappointed, as Mammoth and his search team were circling around.

Luo Ye was also amazed by such a maze.

Saranchi is a master. He can determine that Product No. 1 has passed through a certain place by judging from the color of fallen leaves, but the realm of a master has no boundaries.

Product number one was not caught and the fortress disappeared.

On the eighth day, Andrei gave up, the army withdrew, and the special investigation team completed its mission and returned to the Kursk Town Police Station.

Director Knuckles was very puzzled as to why Andrei did not go to the county police station but to the Kursk Town Police Station.

2:30 p.m., former Tucky Sheriff's Office.

"Chief Knuckles, I have a suggestion. I want Luo Ye to be the chief of police in Kursk. What do you think?"

No one expected Andre to say that.

Irina Shayk, in particular, was shocked!

The sudden announcement made Luo Ye stunned. He didn't react and didn't think about why Andre did this.

He was thinking about the task the system had assigned him to take over the police station, the first task, a nonsensical task.

If I become sheriff, does that count as taking over the Kursk Township Police Department?

Here, Chief Knuckles thought for a moment and said, "I have no objection! Judging from his performance at the base this time, it was excellent. He's the first police officer to injure a Mammoth in ten years, which is rare. And he also saved you, Mr. Andre. He's absolutely capable!"

Irina's face turned a little pale.

"Okay, I'll announce the second point. Before I say this, I want to say this: Product Number One, that mammoth spirit at the base will definitely cause trouble again. It was Sheriff Taki who was killed, otherwise the mechanisms within the base wouldn't have activated on their own. Every sign indicates he'll seek revenge! The base is under the jurisdiction of the Kursk Town Police Department, so they need elite personnel! He'll reappear, he will. According to Dr. Stein's research report, this freak's activity radius should currently be within the jurisdiction of Kursk Town. So, I propose, Turgenev, that you stay. Are you willing?"

Turgenev puffed out his chest and said, "Mr. Andrei, I am willing. Thank you for giving me another chance. As long as he shows up, I will never let him escape. I will avenge my colleague!"

"Due to your command errors and your underestimation of the enemy, the SWAT team suffered heavy losses. You bear direct and unshirkable responsibility!"

Turgenev's face never relaxed after he suffered a setback at the base. Since the establishment of the Hellfire Special Police Team, they had never suffered such a big loss or experienced such humiliation.

"It's not just revenge. You've witnessed it firsthand. The Mammoth Spirit is terrifying. The sooner we apprehend it, the sooner it can cause harm to citizens. Stay here, stay at the Kursk Town Police Station, and redeem yourself! Stay here with your other two men." Turgenev thought for a moment and said, "Since Luo Ye is the sheriff, what are our identities? Or should we stay here as members of the Special Investigation Team?"

"No, from now on, you are a police officer of the Kursk Town Police Department, an ordinary police officer. If you make a mistake, you will be punished until you catch the Mammoth Spirit."

Turgenev's face suddenly turned as dark as it could be.

Andre stared at him: "You don't want to do it?"

"No, of course I want to, but I think your arrangement is inappropriate."

"You are doubting my ability, aren't you, Captain Turgenev?"

The temperature in the office suddenly dropped. It was true that Turgenev was the captain of the special police, but he was nothing in front of the big boss of the investigation committee.

"No, Mr. Andre, that's not what I meant. How could I possibly work under a trainee police officer? I'm a colonel, and he's at most a junior police officer, with the rank of lieutenant. Mr. Andre, are you sure?"

"That's right, Colonel Turgenev. If you can capture the Mammoth, I promise you, you'll be promoted to the rank of Major General and can leave the Kursk Town Police Department immediately. Your two subordinates will receive the same rewards as you. But did you catch it?"

Turgenev's face became gloomy and he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"So, you only have two options. The first is to go back to St. Petersburg and become a street patrol officer. The second is to stay at the Kursk Town Police Department and work as an ordinary police officer to redeem yourself for your crimes. Which path do you want to choose? Don't be shy, just be straightforward."

Turgenev finally said: "Okay, I'll stay and do it! But——"

"I know what you mean. This is what Chief Inspector Luo Ye wants to say, right?"

Luo Ye was also shocked when he heard that Andrei kept Turgenev as his police officer.

Russia’s police ranks are very special, a bit like military ranks. The highest rank is general. Those who don’t understand it may think he is a big shot in the army.

Turgenev was a colonel, which was several levels higher than his own rank as a small police captain.

The young sheriff commanded the colonel-level police to do the work, which is equivalent to the subordinate commanding the superior of the superior. This guy's police rank is at the same level as Chief Knuckles. In other words, if this guy went to the Kursk Town Police Station to be a policeman, he would have to run around to mobilize a chief himself.
