"She is an unidentified person who came to Longmen from Colombia. I don't think she even registered at the checkpoint. Besides, she herself is a potential danger."
"But you can't treat her as a criminal."
Seeing the girl wrapped in bandages all over her body, Jiu couldn't help but feel distressed, "Chongxiao, how can you do things like this?"
If other police officers from the Royal Guard Bureau had said this, Chongxiao might not have taken it to heart, but Jiu was one of the first colleagues he met, and he had helped him a lot both in public and in private, so he had no choice but to scratch his head and acquiesce to the accusation.
By the way, this has nothing to do with Nine having red hair!
"I'm sorry, my colleague may have had some misunderstanding about you."
She walked forward, bent down and said to the girl, "But for the sake of safety, I also think you can get better protection in the Guard Bureau. Please trust us."
Disagreeing with Chongxiao's method is one thing, and how to deal with the girl is another... Jiu is not a good person with an overflowing saintly heart, and she also trusts her colleagues, so she actually just changed the way to deal with it.
And this method is obviously more accepted by young girls.
"Um……"
"Well, how do you feel now? If you still..."
"It's okay now."
The girl said coldly while reaching out to untie the bandage on her head.
This action surprised Chongxiao and Jiujiu... But fortunately, the wound on the girl's forehead was not deep, so it would not leave a scar or anything.
"Then come on, grab your things, and I'll drive you."
Jiu turned and walked towards the door of the ward, but before she stretched out her hand to push the door open, she still asked the most important question, "By the way, at least... you should tell us your name, right?"
The girl did not answer immediately, but glanced at Chongxiao first.
Maybe she was pressured by this guy's strength, or maybe she had figured something out, but now she no longer had much will to fight back.
"... Cellinina, my name is... Cellinina."
……
Just over ten minutes after Chongxiao and Jiu took the girl away, a short but agile figure rushed into the hospital.
Similar to Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue, this figure's "atavism" is even more obvious. From the skin to the body shape to the limbs, he is no different from a real penguin. The only difference is his trendy outfit.
"Hey! Hey, hey! Nurse!"
He jumped directly onto the service desk and rang the bell frantically until the nurse came running over.
"Let me ask you, was there an injured Lupo girl sent here last night?"
"Uh...it seems so. Let me take a look..."
The nurse flipped through the registration book. "Is this Miss Doe from Ward 26? She has been taken away by the officers from the Royal Guard Bureau."
"What! Guard Bureau!?"
……
(Note: The original game does not clearly state the standard of adulthood for Terra residents. It is speculated that it should be different for each race... For the convenience of writing, this book adopts the setting of 18 years old as an adult, which is consistent with the real world, but precocity is a common situation)
Chapter 12: Old Wei, don’t you want to recruit talented people from all over the world?
Celinina Texas, this is the real name of the Luper girl.
Just as Chongxiao judged, she was indeed a killer, but not a professional one... It wasn't that she lacked ability, she just didn't make a living from it.
To be precise, Cellinina's job is the same as that of the large number of gang members that Chongxiao has arrested and imprisoned in recent times. She is a thug, a very, very advanced thug who can be called a master.
Of course, these were not things she revealed voluntarily, but were information Jiu inferred based on his own imagination after confirming that she was from Syracuse.
The thing is that Cellinina...didn't deny it.
Compared to powerful countries like Victoria, Ursus and Dayan on this land, Syracuse separated from Leithania is not really well-known. Most Terrans only have the impression that Syracuse has traditional retro yet very reliable cars, pizzas that are always filled with all kinds of strange ingredients, and the gangs that almost control the entire country.
For people from other countries, Syracuse is a worthwhile holiday destination, because gangs must survive and develop after all. They naturally want the money of outsiders more than their lives. Moreover, they have to weigh the consequences of offending certain powerful countries or forces.
But for the Syracusans, Syracuse is a place without any hope... Gang feuds and family disputes are eternal themes, and ordinary civilians are destined to be stepping stones or victims.
Cellinina does not consider herself a victim; in fact, she now considers herself nothing.
Because she has lost everything.
It didn't matter anymore whether he agreed to let the penguin come to Longmen or was taken back to the Guard Bureau "half-heartedly".
Or you can say it this way: Destroy it, quickly, I don’t care!
However, to Celinina's surprise, Chongxiao and Jiu did not take her into the interrogation room as a dangerous person as they said in the hospital. Instead...
"……What do you want to do?"
Realizing that the door in front of her was an ordinary dormitory, the girl, who had been expressionless all the way, suddenly broke down and took a half step back while showing a vigilant expression.
What made Chongxiao even more speechless was that she even raised her hand and grabbed her collar.
"I say... who do you take me for?!"
I guess they are afraid that you are not a good person...
Jiu, who didn't know whether to laugh or cry, quickly stopped the aggressive Chongxiao, then turned to explain to Chelinina, "Don't get me wrong, even if we really want to check on you, we have to wait until your injuries are healed. It may not be safe in the hospital, so I want you to stay here for a few days."
Apart from anything else, it is absolutely against the rules to bring a suspect with unknown circumstances to live in the dormitory of the Guard Bureau.
So... Chongxiao's real purpose is not to investigate...
"House arrest?"
"Uh... don't be so blunt."
Now, Jiudu felt a little embarrassed.
After staring at the two of them for a few seconds, Cellinina said nothing more, walked directly into the room, and closed the door very decisively.
It doesn't look like he's going to be placed under house arrest at all, and there's even an illusion that he's the host.
Chongxiao was still very unhappy. When he went downstairs, he was still muttering something like "If I really had the idea, I could have eaten you up in the hospital last night." This made Jiu, who had no experience in this area, blush.
"That's enough, Chongxiao. To be honest, I don't know what you are doing. Her injuries are obviously not serious anymore."
"I know. I just want to see if I can talk to Lao Wei and recruit her."
"…What did you say?"
Jiu's reaction was completely within Chongxiao's expectations. After all, a person with unknown origins and obvious dangerous connections was not qualified to join the Guard Bureau in terms of both moral and logical reasons.
But who made Chongxiao like this?
He did not hide anything and told Wei Yanwu about how he went to the isolation area of the rescue station and took a fancy to him.
As for wanting to recruit Celinina, besides the fact that their circumstances were somewhat similar, it was also necessary due to the current environment.
Simply put, the Guard Bureau still has too few people.
It has been mentioned before that Longmen is in a rapid development stage, with opportunities and loopholes everywhere. Seizing the opportunity to soar to the sky and getting rich through hard work are no longer dreams, so being a public law enforcement officer is obviously not a good choice.
With the current size of the Guard Bureau, it is more than enough to maintain the security of several core blocks, but if the surrounding marginal blocks are to be brought under normal management, there will undoubtedly not be enough personnel...
In addition, Chongxiao also discovered that the Guard Bureau lacked cutting-edge combat power.
From the hijacking incident at Feilong Building, where he was beaten by retired Yicong soldiers disguised as kidnappers, it can be seen that if he and Xingxiong were not there, what would have been the outcome?
The Guards couldn't even get to the floor where the hostages were being held!
This is not to belittle the police force represented by Xie Ming. They have done their best and deserve everyone's respect. However, there are many evil spirits in this land. No matter how outstanding they are, they are still inferior to ordinary Terrans.
What should we do if one day, a being like the Witch King of Lethania comes to cause trouble for Longmen?
Obviously, this should be the reason why Wei Yanwu had already "targeted" Xingxiong and decisively recruited Chongxiao into the Guard Bureau.
But this is not enough. Chongxiao is not arrogant enough to think that he and Xingxiong alone can maintain the law and order of the entire Longmen...
The Guard Bureau needs more manpower, and the Special Inspection Team also needs better members.
"This...although it sounds reasonable, but...you don't even know what kind of person she was before."
"That's not important. Think about it, Jiu. Even someone like Yakushi Kabuto can be cleansed..."
"Who is Yakushi Kabuto?"
"I do not know either!"
Chongxiao said confidently and seriously, "Anyway, as long as she is willing to join the Imperial Guard Bureau, then what she did before... can be forgiven."
He hesitated noticeably on the last few words.
Jiu actually didn't think that Celinina was a bad person. Otherwise, with such injuries, she could have just rushed into any hospital and pointed a knife at the doctor to give her medicine, instead of fainting in the wilderness and being picked up by Chongxiao.
As for joining the Imperial Guard Bureau, there would be no problem as long as Commander Wei agrees.
But at this moment, they didn't know that Wei Yanwu was having a headache because of this matter...
……
"I'm telling you, Old Wei, why don't you understand? It's your men who brought the good seedling I liked here as a suspect, and then I had to give you face because it was inconvenient for me to find him myself, so I just wanted you to do me a favor and release him directly. Is this so hard to understand?"
"...If you keep rapping like this, my head will explode."
Wei Yanwu took two puffs of the pipe in his hand in annoyance, then changed to a more comfortable sitting position.
The person he was facing was not an ordinary Terran, but the "Penguin" who had rushed to the hospital in a hurry before.
However, a "penguin" in the conventional sense would not wear fashionable clothes, expensive sunglasses, or have several conspicuous gold chains around his neck... Compared to a cute animal, this guy is obviously more like a spirited gangster.
And its name is more domineering than that of the social big brother.
"Tell me first, who do you like?"
“…That’s not the point.”
"No, no, this is the first point."
Of course the cunning Wei Yanwu would not give this face easily. Anyway, the other party came to him on his own initiative and he did not have any demands.
Seeing Wei Yanwu's calmness, the emperor was furious...
It’s all the fault of that bastard who took the little girl from Texas!
"You are so cruel... the Texas family in Colombia, do you know that?"
"Have heard a little bit."
"Just pretend!"
The emperor gave Wei Yanwu the middle finger... although it was difficult to see the shape of the finger due to his short forelimbs.
"In short, that family originally belonged to Syracuse, but was destroyed a while ago because they didn't listen to Sicily. Only a little girl is still alive."
"The one you're interested in...is that little girl?"
Wei Yanwu understood, but what he didn't understand was why the emperor came to him to ask for someone.
And...what is so special about this surviving little girl that she could be favored by the emperor.
You know, this "penguin" looks funny and cute, but in fact it is a mysterious existence that even it itself cannot figure out, let alone how many years it has lived.
"Don't worry about this. Anyway, your people brought my people here without permission. I want to take her away now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and then Chongxiao appeared.
Wei Yanwu's office in the Guard Bureau is an independent study in this huge mansion, and it is also the place with the best environment. As the leader of the Guard Bureau, he is relatively competent and usually appears in the office on time.
However, the responsibilities of the Governor of Longmen are obviously more important, so Wei Yanwu has decided to resign after the Guard Bureau moves to its new headquarters in a few months and concentrate on dealing with the city's administrative issues.
"Old Wei, I have a...what is this?"
"Hey! Boy! What are you talking about!?"
At this time, the emperor didn't know that Chongxiao was the one who took Celinina away, otherwise his reaction would definitely be much more intense than this, "Your superiors don't... Wait! He called you... Lao Wei!?"
Emperor, you found the highlight!
"Hey... It's none of your business! Brat, don't you know you have to knock before entering?"
"I'm sorry, but I have something urgent to tell you."
Chongxiao directly ignored the emperor at the table and said, "There is a person with good abilities now, who should be homeless. Let her join the Guard Bureau like me."
