At a certain moment, Gabriel even wanted to trigger the laser gun and pierce the other person's mouth to stop him from saying those damn nonsense.
But he couldn't, and the other party was not convicted.
"Shut up!"
With a low growl, he punched Cork on the side of the cheek. The man leaned to the side, and the metal stool legs under his butt rubbed against the floor, making a harsh scream.
After a while, the man straightened up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
"Officer, anger won't get you to the real criminal."
"Don't think I dare not!"
Gabriel grabbed the opponent's collar and forced the opponent to lean forward in an uncomfortable position, with only one punch between their faces.
"The Ministry of Justice has more than a hundred punishments to make you talk! I don't like torture, but that doesn't mean I don't know how to do it! You'd better behave and tell the truth about your superiors and your business partners."
The man just shrugged.
"Officer, if you really needed to use it, you would have used it from the beginning. You have never been soft on 'criminals'. Otherwise, how could your detection rate be so high?"
"Oh, it seems you understand."
Gabriel let go and Kirk fell back into his chair.
"You bribed a lot of scum from the Ministry of Justice. They tipped you off, provided cover, and even warned me not to harm 'influential people' when I had all the stolen goods. This is your method, right? So, right?
I can tell you that I don’t care about those people, and I am not afraid of their so-called pressure. You transported these things down, and all the procedures and documents are legal. What does this mean? It means that you also have a protective umbrella on the hive capital spire.
, I will not only uproot you, but also dig out those silverfish that hide evil and evil in the name of the Emperor! Bring them to justice! Your hands that look clean are already stained with blood, and every product you sell is
A weapon will eventually take the lives of others! This is your sin and the price you should pay!"
However, in exchange for his righteous indignation, he only received pitiful eyes and indifferent expressions from the other party, which made Gabriel pacing back and forth in front of the table like an enraged lion.
He didn't know where this damn bastard's confidence came from. It seemed that the moment he caught the other party, the other party didn't show the slightest panic. This was completely different from the criminals he had caught in the past. They were either scared to death or
Crazy to the extreme.
Uneasiness slowly grew in the young law enforcement officer's heart.
Suddenly, Kirk spoke, with a smile on his face.
"Okay, officer, you can take your time and enjoy this moment."
"What?"
"You can continue your declaration of justice, saying that I am a damn criminal, the embodiment of evil, and what not. Oh, yes, I should be responsible for the chaos in the hive, responsible for those terrible massacres, whatever you want
Say something, or you can punch me twice if you want, because soon our time alone will be over."
Gabriel looked at each other with incredible eyes.
"Is there something wrong with your brain? Or are you hysterical? You are now in the Ministry of Justice as a criminal. I have enough evidence to put you on trial in a month, and end with the death penalty or a worse punishment! And in
I have enough time to torture you out of everything I need before you die!"
Then he angrily came to the table, sat on a chair, and pressed his fists on the table.
"You'd better realize the seriousness of the problem. No one can save you! This is the special case team. Unless the legal marshal comes in person, no one can get involved. I don't believe that the superiors behind you are really so powerful and can cover the sky with one hand.
!”
Kirk stared at each other, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"Officer, believe me, I know the seriousness of the problem. I dare to swear to the emperor that I will not spend a second in the court you expect."
The law enforcement officer's breathing became more and more rapid. He grabbed the pistol and leaned back, squinting at his opponent.
“Very nice to comfort myself.”
"To be honest, I used to have a good friend whose character was very similar to yours. He was very righteous, but eventually he got caught in the whirlpool of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was minced and turned into a machine servant. And his wife was also a servitor.
Now my wife was almost sold to a brothel, so every time I see you, I will miss her very much. Okay, I digress, so I will tell you now what will happen in the near future, so that you can be prepared.
"
The law enforcement officer smiled, but it was very forced, and then waved his gun.
"Okay, you say."
The man put his shackled hands on the table, glanced at the cell door, and said very seriously:
"Soon, someone will knock on the door and you will be called outside. Then in a remote corner, there will be a man with a much higher police rank than you waiting for you. First, he will celebrate everything you have done.
You successfully solved a weapons smuggling case, and you made the hive city more peaceful, and even promised you future medals and promotions."
Gabriel's expression gradually froze, he began to shake his legs, and his facial muscles twitched unconsciously, while the other person's expression became more and more relaxed.
"Then he will tell you that after investigation and evidence collection, I have been found to have nothing to do with the matter and need to be released immediately. You will definitely object, maybe very violently, and even ask to complain to the legal marshal, and the other party will bring out the legal marshal
warrant, so eventually, I will be released."
As he spoke, the man sighed.
"The fundamental reason is actually not complicated. The reason for releasing me is basically the same as the reason why you arrested me. There is no order in the lower nest and the lower nest, but order is needed. The rulers of the hive city know that they cannot afford the cost of managing the entire hive city.
Then the best way is nothing more than indirect management. Letting this gang rise and letting that gang die are all indirect management methods. Weapons are just 'tools' for their management. Violence is the simplest law of the empire, including prohibition.
The same is true for drugs. Of course, managers don’t want their hands to be stained, so some things always have to operate outside the rules, so do you think the real buyers of weapons are the gangs at the bottom?”
Gabriel was speechless, he could only stare at this man in despair, as if he was a demon that was destroying people's hearts.
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door, like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head, making him suddenly startled.
The next moment, he stood up like crazy and pressed the muzzle of the gun hard against the opponent's forehead.
"I can kill you right now! For the sake of law and justice, I will do anything!"
Kirk just looked at him softly and shook his head.
"Officer Gabriel, you won't. I understand you because you are the guardian of the law and you will not break the law yourself."
After a three-second stalemate, Gabriel, who was ashen-faced, put away his laser pistol and walked towards the door without looking back, leaving only one sentence.
