Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 176 The Seven's Verbal Battle

inland.

The outskirts of Nanwei City.

The funeral is over, and I don't know whether to say that God was kind or not.

Just as the funeral ended, a torrential downpour began.

It's like urging the funeral procession to finish their work and leave, instead of getting in the way.

That's probably the gist of it.

……

The once bustling law enforcement cemetery was now deserted except for Milo, who stood alone with his horse under a huge banyan tree.

Milo didn't know how long he stayed in front of that tombstone, but by the time he finished observing the undead, there was practically no one left in the cemetery.

……

The tree in front of them has enough lush foliage to block 99% of the rainwater from Milo.

As for the remaining scattered raindrops, Milo could only let them fall onto his trench coat.

At that moment, he had no idea that his face had been completely memorized by someone in the colony.

All Milo knew was that after reading the memories of the deceased, he did not feel any discomfort in his body, which meant that the Scarlet Witch's blood was effective.

She truly reversed Milo's clairvoyance aftereffects.

Overall, this is still something to be happy about.

So the next thing to do is to ask "everyone here" properly.

……

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky.

With each flash of lightning that streaked across the sky, Milo could see 78 figures reflected on the ground in front of him.

For the time being, he has not been able to match each shadow with the name of a person in his memory.

Milo could recognize only a few of the more uniquely styled guys.

First up is the curly-haired young man with a mustache – Ryan Garcia. If I remember correctly, he's a medic and pharmacist, a role that's quite important in a law enforcement team.

Then there's the melee expert "Jon Jones." This big black guy is easy to recognize because the data shows that he's almost two meters tall. Even his shadow is more than a head taller than everyone else.

Will Romero, whom Theon called "The Smoker," is also relatively easy to recognize because even after being banished to the Shadowlands, he still has a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and the smoke from the cigarette butt is clearly visible.

The guy carrying the sniper rifle must be "Robert Black".

The slightly hunchbacked guy standing next to him must be the demolition expert "Kane Guman".

Of the remaining two, one is the only four-eyed guy in the Criminal Investigation Department. After excluding "Henry" who wears glasses, the remaining one is Charles's younger brother "Eric Winton" from the West City Police Department.

After sorting through them, Milo realized that he could recognize them all.

That's quite a rare thing, hehe.

……

Milo touched his nose.

Honestly, he would feel more at ease if he were standing in front of a group of living, breathing people.

But faced with 78 shadows, he really didn't know how to arrange his opening remarks.

"How about I bow to you first, since today is the day of your funeral?"

As soon as he said that, Milo saw the unpleasant waving gestures of the figures in front of him.

Henry the four-eyed guy even gave him the middle finger.

Clearly, while Milo wasn't very familiar with these guys, they were old acquaintances to him.

The bronze ring, which served as the medium, remained in the law enforcement office. This meant that the shadow of the seven men had lingered there for over a year, observing everything that happened within the office from a quiet corner, without missing a single detail. In the Robben incident, it was Henry, the four-eyed man, who briefly ran into the yard at the last moment, allowing Milo to catch a glimpse of his shadow and thus discover Robben's escape route—the sewers.

As for the shadows that Milo saw frequently in the law enforcement office after his vision improved, they all came from the group of seven people in front of him.

In the first two months after their disappearance, this group of people did everything they could to attract the attention of people in the real world.

They hoped someone would see them, or make some noise, to guide old Theon or Rebecca to investigate the case.

But it turned out that no one could see them at all.

Over time, the seven-person group, seeing no hope, stopped struggling and almost accepted their fate of becoming ghosts in the law enforcement office, forever stuck there.

Until Milo appeared.

……

Of the seven, only Junior Chief Eric Winton seems to be proficient in sign language.

Anyway, he was the first to jump out and gesture at Milo—

"Do you know how worried we guys were when Daisy's eyes were gouged out in the next room?"

This was the first time Milo had ever known that sign language could express the meaning of "hang" so clearly and accurately.

"Don't you dare mention that to me, you son of a bitch!"

They were anxious, but Milo was even more anxious.

He started yelling and cursing at the shadow on the ground.

If I had to pick the worst memory Milo has had in the past few months, it would have to be Daisy's ordeal—a truly difficult experience to accept.

Because during that time, Milo and Rebecca went to great lengths to find Daisy.

Ultimately, Daisy's fate can only be attributed to their negligence.

It's a terrible feeling to work so hard only to be fed a piece of shit in return.

……

As soon as Milo uttered his curse, the other figures on the floor also became anxious.

Those who know a little sign language start rapping right away, while older guys like Will the Chainsmoker just raise two middle fingers and stick them out.

"What are you jumping around for? If it weren't for me, you'd all be stuck in this law enforcement office eating dust for the rest of your lives. Damn it, you come out and disgust people. Believe me or not, I'll shoot you dead!"

Milo thought about it and realized that didn't make sense either; wouldn't that be a waste of bullets aimed at the floor?

……

The argument lasted for about ten minutes before it subsided.

The main reason is that the way the two sides communicate is too difficult.

Milo felt like he was performing a one-man show, standing in a pile of graves and shouting nonsense. If a passerby saw this, it would probably be in the newspaper tomorrow.

The seven-person group has used almost every swear gesture they could think of, and they are now at their wits' end.

After both sides calmed down, Milo slowly said to Chief Officer Charles:

"You should improve the sign language of the other guys. I don't want to talk to a dozen middle fingers every day."

Charles made a "yes" gesture.

Milo nodded and continued:

"I also have a bright young girl here. She not only knows sign language, but she might also know some ancient characters. If you have time, you can learn from her..."

Milo turned his head and looked around.

He suddenly realized that he couldn't find any trace of Maggie Green...
