Reiner and Lin En looked humble when they first came in, but they were not taken seriously by him.
Now that he had lost his temper and assumed a somewhat arrogant posture, Upton's hostility subsided and he became polite: "Haha, as you said. I want to understand what happened first."
"Here's the thing..." Reiner showed Upton the telegram he had exchanged with Deputy Eden of the Tswold City Public Security Bureau last night to read, "... when the two of us planned to take the train to lure him out, we didn't expect that
He actually pretended to be a coachman, so he got into trouble."
"How are you sure that the coachman is the serial murderer?" Upton briefly looked through the information.
"He doesn't behave like a coachman. He is very unfamiliar with both routes and driving horses." Reiner responded calmly, "Of course, it is not enough to just be suspicious. Linn and I also had this question on the way.
We conducted some tests. We deliberately loudly belittled the murderer, and after noticing that his expression became increasingly unnatural, we were able to make a basic conclusion. Finally, we used a gun to deceive him, and he truthfully confessed his identity.
"
Upton felt that everything was going too smoothly: "Since this person sent a letter last night, clearly stating that he was about to kill someone, why didn't you just come to the Sheriff's Bureau to report the crime that night?"
"Obviously, we hope to catch him ourselves." Reiner didn't waste any time making up an excuse.
"...Understood." Upton nodded slightly.
One is a high-ranking nobleman, and the other is a mystery novelist.
When these two people encounter a serial murderer, their reactions are definitely different from ordinary people. It is not impossible to not be afraid, but to face him.
For a long while, Upton stared at their faces and said two words in a low voice: "Clean up?"
"Um?"
"Um?"
Linn, Reiner looked confused.
"What did you say?" Reiner pretended not to hear clearly.
"Clean up," Upton repeated.
"What, what do you mean?" Reiner looked at Linn and then at Upton.
"It's nothing, just think I'm talking nonsense." Upton tried to change the story.
Seeing that Lin En and Reiner were both calm and capable of subduing a serial murderer, he couldn't help but guess that the two of them might be the same cleanup crew, so he did some testing.
Fortunately, Linn had warned Reiner when he first walked in, so neither of them had any unnatural changes when Upton said the word 'clean up'.
"Leave this matter to us to contact the Tswold City Public Security Bureau and handle the follow-up matters." Upton was not interested in continuing the conversation with Linn and Leonardo, "Do you two have anything else to do?"
"I want to visit the Director of the General Bureau, Mr. Ulysses." Of course Reiner would not leave the General Bureau of Public Security just like that, otherwise it would be like this trip was in vain.
"Director Ulysses?" Upton's voice changed.
"Yes. I met him with my father when I was a child. At that time, Mr. Ulysses was still a first-class security chief. I haven't been to the imperial capital for many years. I am here now and I want to pay a visit." Reiner said.
"I see..." After learning that Reiner still had some contact with the highest-level speaker in the Sheriff's Department, Upton's attitude became gentler at a speed visible to the naked eye, "Do you need my help to contact you?"
Reiner groaned: "No need for now, I came in a hurry, and I didn't prepare any gifts."
"Then..." Upton was a little confused.
Since you don't plan to visit Director Ulysses just yet, why are you still here?
"Actually, I think the prisoners we arrested are the best gift to Director Ulysses." Lynn and Reiner had differences of opinion. "People like Director Ulysses lack almost everything.
Only catching criminals and upholding justice is the greatest respect and the best gift for him."
Reiner understood what Linn meant.
Lin En hoped to see the top executive of the Public Security Bureau today.
Confirm the opponent's situation through the eyes of [Peeper].
If you are a good person, you will find ways to gain the other party's trust and work together to achieve great things.
If they are degenerates, then they should find ways to eradicate them and support others to rise to power.
However, Reiner felt that it was a bit inappropriate to meet rashly today. He wanted to gain more opportunities to understand the inside of the General Security Bureau before that: "Chief Upton, do you know if Director Ulysses is busy right now?"
"I'm not sure. I haven't seen Director Ulysses today." Upton couldn't understand what the two of them were thinking.
"What about you? Do you have anything else to do now?"
"I...fine." Upton answered ambiguously.
Reiner didn't care what the content of his answer was: "Since you're not busy, why don't you take us two for a walk? I'm quite interested in the Sheriff's Department, and I also want to become a Sheriff in the future to punish evil and promote good."
Upon hearing that Reiner wanted to work in the Sheriff's Department, Upton raised his eyebrows again.
Judging from Reiner's ability to easily catch serial murderers, as well as his prominent family background and strong connections, if he joins the Imperial Capital's Public Security Bureau, he may be on equal footing with himself within a few years.
If it takes a little longer to gain the favor of Director Ulysses, the room for development will be huge.
Even though I, as a [Transcendent], have unparalleled advantages, I may not be able to catch up.
The most important thing is that every cleanup mission is so dangerous that I can't even think about what will happen in a few weeks now, let alone a few years.
"Okay, I'll take you around." In the end, Upton readily agreed, turned off the phonograph, and led the two of them outside.
Reiner glanced at Linn and followed Upton.
Linn realized what Reiner meant.
Reiner mentioned that he planned to work in the General Security Bureau, not only to have a legitimate reason for Upton to show them around, but also because the idea really came up.
Becoming a peace officer is the easiest and crudest way to break into the Security Bureau.
At that time, they can eradicate cancers and support those who are willing to take up positions to purify the environment. They can also use their status as sheriffs to investigate various cases in the imperial capital and provide backup 'material' for each mission.
The only disadvantage of this matter is that if they really become a police officer, this status will restrict their freedom.
It was precisely for this reason that Linn initially rejected the invitation from the Tswold City Sheriff's Department, Adjutant Eden.
But now that being a peace officer highly overlaps with their main goal, this shortcoming is not unacceptable.
In particular, the time and place were right and they all occupied it.
Reiner has a very high IQ and is a mystery novelist who has assisted the Sheriff's Department in solving crimes many times.
Together, they captured a serial murderer, which they can use to prove that they have the ability to become a peace officer. They are not just some rich and powerful people who come here to have fun and get rich.
With Reiner's background, coupled with their [superhuman] abilities, promotion at rocket speed may not be impossible.
Like a fish in water!
Once you get in there, you can really do a lot!
After thinking about it, Linn silently agreed with Reiner's decision.
Since you have an advantage, you should make the most of it!
"This floor is the office area, but the actual officers are generally arranged in various branches. The paperwork here is greater than the detective work..." Upton politely introduced Reiner along the way.
"What if I join the Sheriff's Department? Where will I usually be assigned?" Lena asked.
"For people like you, this matter can be decided by yourself." Upton felt that Reiner's question was unnecessary.
Once he really joins the Public Security Bureau, the Bureau will definitely not be able to arrange hard work for him.
Secondly, if he really joins the Public Security Bureau, he will definitely have a way to transfer himself to the best department.
"I mean, where do I fit in?"
"You must like to solve crimes and catch the murderer. Although murder cases do not happen every day, and in most cases you have to deal with trivial matters, but it is always better than doing paperwork, working all day and night with a pile of files and various report materials.
Much better to deal with." Upton still felt like he was talking nonsense.
"Well, then put me and Linn in positions where we can do practical things. Besides, I don't mind a higher position." Reiner knew how to give full play to his family's advantages.
Although this is something he is not ashamed of.
But it must be done now.
If they start from the grassroots level, they will not be exposed to the situation at the top, and most of their time will be occupied by miscellaneous matters.
Then he would really be an honest person working for the Public Security Bureau.
"The position is higher..." Upton's mouth twitched.
These dignitaries and dignitaries speak directly...
I just don’t know how high a position can satisfy others...
"What? Are you having difficulty?" This was also the first time that Reiner asked others to treat him specially. He wondered if his words were inappropriate.
"Well..." Upton considered his words and decided to leave this trouble to others, "Why don't you wait until you meet Director Ulysses and discuss this matter with him in detail? After all, Director Ulysses' status is higher than mine.
If you are much taller, it will be easier for him to arrange it. But I am just a small first-level security chief. To be honest, I don't have the ability to arrange a satisfactory position for you."
"Okay." Reiner didn't expect Upton to help him much.
"In addition, I have a few questions." Upton looked at Lynn, "Mr. Lynn, is he also going to join the Sheriff's Department? As far as I know, he is better at compiling mystery stories."
Reiner explained: "When he was in Tswold City, he assisted the Tswold City Public Security Bureau to solve several major cases, and his ability is by no means inferior to mine. The two of us joined the Public Security Bureau and solved cases together, and I believe in efficiency.
It will be very high.”
"You can completely trust my ability." Lin En promoted himself generously, "If my performance is not excellent within three months, I can pack up and leave immediately without receiving any remuneration."
"Interesting..." Upton murmured.
If Linn and Reiner were his kind, he wouldn't be surprised.
But as an [Extraordinary], he would inevitably find it funny when an 'ordinary person' said this.
This world is not as simple as you ordinary people imagine!
"I have another question." Upton added, "Being a peace officer is no small matter. You are the young master of the Fernando family. I wonder if your father would agree with you engaging in a job that is not considered glamorous in the upper class.
