Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 252 I should thank you.
Back in the armory upstairs at the law enforcement office, Milo replenished his spent ammunition.

Later, I met old Theon in the office, who looked a little overwhelmed.

Normally, Rebecca would be the one in a complete mess at this point, but who would have thought that the Chief Enforcer would go and fight the zombies one-on-one?

"It's all fate."

Old Theon stubbed out his cigarette and tossed it into the ashtray, looking at the pile of documents in front of him with a gloomy expression.

In the South City Law Enforcement Office, besides Rebecca, he held the highest position, and in terms of seniority and experience, he was the most senior.

Although I don't receive the chief of staff's salary, I'll inevitably have to do the chief of staff's work during this period.

Compared to submitting written reports, Theon was much better at working on the front lines of law enforcement; he simply wasn't cut out for that.

Milo plopped down in his office chair, glanced at the other seven figures in the office, and gave them an inquiring look.

As expected, everyone pretended not to see it.

If you didn't see it, you didn't see it.

Milo shrugged.

His original intention was to ask these old Theon brothers if they wanted to lend a hand, but now it seems he overestimated their brotherhood.

Milo grabbed a piece of scrap paper, wiped the dust off his desk, and then quickly removed the cylinder of the revolver for a quick cleaning.

Weapons are always an officer's most reliable teammate, and timely maintenance is essential; this habit was inherited from Carl.

"It's one thing for the people at headquarters to be annoyed with me, but just now some bastard I've never seen before came and asked me for something that fell into the river."

Old Theon grumbled irritably as he worked through the documents at hand.

Milo immediately recognized who the bastard was, and looked up to ask, "Where is he?"

"I had them kicked out," old Theon said irritably.

“Oh~” Milo nodded, feeling guilty, he chose not to talk about it and changed the subject:
"Did those people who were unconscious around the Confession Pier say anything?"

“There are all sorts of stories. Some say they saw their deceased relatives, some say they saw their dream lover, and some say they went to heaven,” old Theon replied.

"There's such a thing?" Milo said thoughtfully.

He is a person who is not subject to dream guidance, but interestingly, he also saw his past experiences in the dream world. However, the Scarlet Witch said that it was not dream guidance, but that Gladgill had directly descended to his identity and connected with his soul. To fully understand the matter of dream guidance, we must start from the perspective of these victims.

This is how to develop the ability to attract dreams.

Anyway, that's what the Scarlet Witch said.

"Has no one come to report it? I mean, some of them have been standing in the rain for half an hour, and some family members are missing. I haven't seen anyone report it downstairs," Milo asked.

"Headquarters has given the order to distribute all cases to other branch offices. We'll focus on wrapping things up here. I reckon the complainants are all gathered at the law enforcement offices in the south and west," Old Sean replied.

"I see."

Milo put away his reloaded revolver, stood up, and put on his hat.

"I have to go out."

"Go on with your work." Old Theon didn't force Milo to stay and endure the torment of paper documents. He knew that Milo must have a lot of things to do in private. Only when Milo cleaned up those shady things could the report here be flawless.

.........

After leaving the South City Law Enforcement Office, Milo first went to the McMann Trading Company's warehouse by the canal.

The bodies of Hodley and the others, cut into pieces, were dragged out and left to rot in the sun for two minutes until they turned into green, decaying matter, before being dumped into the canal.

Then they rushed to the Chengxi Law Enforcement Office without stopping.

Just as old Theon had said, all the complainants were diverted to several other law enforcement offices.

Because the incident occurred on April 1, many people who did not originally live near the Confession Wharf gathered there. Their original addresses were scattered in various corners of Nanwei City, so the situation was very complicated. The reports received by the other three law enforcement agencies were also very complicated, including not only the deceased's family members but also various other related cases.

In short, it's very complicated.

Milo chose the West City Enforcement Office as his first investigation site because he only knew the enforcement officers there. He didn't know anyone in the east or north, and setting up his office prematurely while they were all too busy would inevitably lead to being turned away.

……

Milo made his request to Charles, the chief of the West City Police Department, to see the people who had filed the reports, and Charles readily agreed.

Milo promised that he would take proper notes and archive the case according to the proper procedures. For the West City Police Department, this meant having another person to help, and Charles had no reason to refuse.

So, for the rest of the day, Milo stayed in the reception room of the West City Law Enforcement Office, meeting with one complainant after another.

……

“Listen to me, Officer, you can’t imagine how much I’ve lost. All my belongings, my wallet, my watch, my shoes, are gone! Those damned bastards even tore off my silver nose ring.”

-

"You must help my poor Peter! He's in a coma, having been submerged in water for a full half hour. He has a severe lung infection, and now the insurance company is refusing to pay for his medical expenses, deeming it unintentional! Is that reasonable?! Absolutely not! I'm going to sue them!"

-

“Officer, all my…wait, how did you know my things were stolen? Yes, that’s right! Those despicable pickpockets took all my valuables while I was unconscious, that was my…um? Why are you asking me what I saw while I was unconscious? That shouldn’t be helpful to the case, uh, I mean…”

-

"Young man, you absolutely have to help me find my little Katie. She... she didn't come home all night yesterday, sob sob... My poor little Katie, it's still raining outside, where could she have gone? I can't live without her... Um, may I ask... Oh no, you've misunderstood, Katie is my pet blue cat, I have a picture of her here..."

-

"Sir, what I'm about to tell you, please don't be scared. Um, I mean, like many others, I fell unconscious by the canal... No, no, my money wasn't stolen. Maybe thieves wouldn't dare to target a tough guy like me who's almost two meters tall. But I encountered something far more terrifying, yes, extremely terrifying... Here's what happened: when I woke up, I found, well, my buttocks, to be precise, my anus, were in excruciating pain. I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said it was a laceration. Yes, someone took advantage of me while I was unconscious... Hey, what are you laughing at? I'm serious. You should have some means to extract the culprit's bodily fluids from my body and bring him to justice, right? I've deliberately not had a bowel movement since yesterday... What do you mean?!... You're clearly laughing, you haven't stopped!"

……

...

evening.

Milo handed a stack of transcripts to Colin, his face noticeably more haggard than in the morning.

"I really can't do this job, but thank you for your cooperation anyway."

Colin grinned at Milo: "No, no, no, I should be thanking you."
