After leaving the underground space, Lloyd and his team first sent the naughty children home, and after getting rid of the noodle reporters who followed them on the road, they returned safely to the police headquarters in the administrative district. By this time, it was already dark.
.
As a result, I asked Fran who was about to get off work, and found out that Section Chief Sergei had already taken everyone's luggage to the arranged "dormitory".
"To be precise, it's not the dormitory, but the Crossbell Police Department Special Support Section Building. That's what Inspector Sergei said."
Fran took out the latest map of Crossbell from her hand, handed it to Lloyd, and pointed out the specific location on the map to him.
After thanking each other, the four people left the police headquarters and came to the central square.
"Hey, isn't this the office of Crossbell Times?"
Lloyd recognized the mixed-use apartment building immediately.
"The offices of Crossbell Times Magazine have been moved to the Harbor District. It should have been bought by IBC and then handed over to the police station for free." Tio knew some inside information. He even knew the person who bought the place.
The name of the IBC director, but she did not mention this to Lloyd and others.
Randolph whistled after hearing this.
"Although it is old, it is in the city center like Central Square. The land price here is the highest in the city, right?"
"This is my knowledge blind spot. Ellie, do you know?" Lloyd has not returned to Crossbell for a long time, and he didn't pay much attention to this information before.
"As far as I know, the shops around the central square, such as department stores, weapons stores, and guidance workshops, cost about 50,000 square meters per square meter. But the land here is not for commercial use, so it is much cheaper. It should be within two
Wanmila, go up and down."
“So expensive!”
Lloyd originally thought that the dilapidated building was not worth a lot of money. He visually inspected the three-story mixed-use apartment and it covered an area of more than 300 square meters, which means that its value is close to 20 million square meters!?
At this moment, the middle-aged man's voice interrupted his whimsical thoughts.
"Hey, what are you talking about standing at the door? Come in."
"Professor Sergei..."
The four of them followed Sergei into the Support Department building, and then came to his study. They began to answer everyone's questions.
"Perhaps you had many questions before, but now I think you have experienced for yourself what kind of department our Special Agent Support Section is. It is a department that prioritizes the safety of citizens and responds to various requests."
"But, but, this..."
Lloyd was a little hesitant, but what he didn't say, Ellie beside him said it straightforwardly.
"It seems to be completely imitating the Guerrilla Association, right?"
Tio and Randolph did not speak. They listened quietly to the principal's explanation. They both came here for their own reasons, so there was no option to transfer to other departments.
Sergei continued.
"You may also know that the Guerrilla Association's current status and evaluation in Crossbell are unusually high. In addition to the A-level guerrilla Arios Marklein, who is known as the Sword Master of the Wind, there are also
Many powerful B+ level guerrillas are stationed in the Crossbell branch. This is a headache for the supervisors in charge of the police station. And it is not just the supervisors, but also the politicians of the Crossbell Council.
We are also very unhappy with the Guerrilla Association, which is always nosy, but we are unable to take any action due to the association's strong reputation."
"Don't guerrillas not interfere with the government?" Ellie asked strangely.
"Whether they have that idea or not, the fact that they are very capable and popular with the people is very scary to the people above. Especially after the expulsion of the Guerrilla Association by the Empire the year before last, the Crossbell Council also
His mind became active. However, after all, Crossbell's autonomous state government is not as powerful as the empire, and it is difficult to take practical actions. By the way, I think the existence of guerrillas is more beneficial to Crossbell.
Bad."
"Wait a minute, Section Chief Sergei. Do you support or oppose it? I completely miss the point of what you just said." Randolph asked.
Sergei put out his cigarette and crossed his hands on his chest.
"First of all, I personally don't hate guerrillas. There are many things that our police cannot do because of their position, but guerrillas can take action. On the other hand, there are also many things that guerrillas cannot intervene in, but we police can.
Among them, although there is an overlap when it comes to personal safety, when it comes to public affairs, guerrillas are often not just in name but in truth. The basic concept of the police is to maintain public order and supervise the execution of autonomous prefecture laws. Serving the citizens is what they are.
The second place. Therefore, what our Special Agent Support Section has to do is not simply to replicate the Guerrilla Association's method of accepting commissions from citizens. To be precise, although our Special Agent Support Section performs tasks, it does not accept commissions.
.Do you understand the difference?”
"Hmm, I don't quite understand what I heard. We have to do the same work as the guerrillas, but we don't accept commissions? Doesn't that mean we have to work for free?" Randolph actually understood it, but he was still a little unsure.
.
"Strictly speaking, we police officers do not help citizens for remuneration. If we have to accept remuneration, it will make people feel that the motives are not pure. This feeling." Sergey explained to Randolph.
"Wait a minute, if that's the case, then it's completely different from imitating guerrillas, right?" Lloyd quickly discovered the key point.
"'People are in urgent need, and people need what they need'. Taking the initiative to help the client's citizens solve their problems before they submit a request to the Guerrilla Association. This is what the Secret Service Support Section will do next. To put it bluntly
It’s just to steal the jobs of the guerrillas.”
"This is so bad..." Ellie frowned after hearing what Sergey said.
"Regardless of whether the behavior is good or bad, is this kind of thing possible? We don't have the ability to read minds, how can we know what others are thinking? Moreover, there are 530,000 citizens in Kezhou, and only one percent of them
If there's an emergency, we won't be able to handle it at all." Lloyd also spoke at this time.
"Well, that's good. Lloyd, you didn't blindly think that this is impossible. Instead, you seriously thought about this possibility and then asked questions. Don't worry about the population. You just need to help the people who can see it. How to do it?
In this regard, if you are an experienced senior investigator, you can roughly know who is in trouble on the street by "based on experience" and "looking at their faces." In fact, most senior guerrillas can also do this.
But this level may be too difficult for you as newcomers. So what you have to do now is to 'accumulate experience'. At first, the tasks you will perform every day will be assigned by me. After you have adapted for a period of time,
After I prove that I am capable of identifying the problems encountered by citizens, I will let go."
"Professor, you trust us too much...I don't have the confidence to do that." Lloyd smiled bitterly.
"Using women as men and treating men as beasts. Our Crossbell Police Department is such a place. Now that you're here, don't complain. I won't let you go so easily, those strong men I finally caught."
"
After Sergei finished speaking, he signaled that everyone could go to rest. Only Tio was left alone for a moment if he had something to say to her.
After Lloyd, Ellie and Randolph all left the study, Sergei pulled out a thick instruction manual from the pile of documents on the table.
"I don't know much about technical things. This is something specially given to our Special Agent Support Section by the Autonomous Prefecture Council to test its functions. I just got it from the police headquarters this morning. I think it's okay to give it to you?"
Crime index measuring instrument, Tio had a feeling when he saw that prop like a guided gun. The instruction manual only explained how to use it, and its principle was completely a black box, but Tio is an expert in information science.
, to do this kind of thing, it relies on nothing more than big data and artificial intelligence, both of which are fields she is very familiar with. Combined with the fact that she knows someone who has been using the promotion of free communication terminals as a cover since last year.
, Tio did not expect to be able to do this in just one year when it came to collecting information about the entire city of Crossbell.
However, she didn't feel half happy about relying on machines to measure human crime index. On the contrary, she doubted that "crime index" measurement was really possible.
"Don't have such a big burden. We can't enforce the law before the prisoner commits a crime. The nature of the police determines that we can only take action after the crime occurs. We have no reason for potential criminals who only have ideas and have not done anything bad.
Go and arrest them. So you just use this item as a tool. According to the function description, it is at least useful in distinguishing who is a dangerous person in the crowd, right? The more alert and cautious you are, the more cautious you will be.
Safety. As police officers in Crossbell, we will inevitably face various dangers."
After listening to Sergei's words, Tio breathed a sigh of relief. She realized that she might have thought too much. People are in urgent need of what they need. It is not impossible if they rely on that analysis system.
Let's do it... Since we are just testing, we should try our best to correct errors during the testing process and find out possible bugs.
"Okay, I'll be careful."
Tio took the special guided gun from Sergei's hand, saluted and left Sergei's study.
Is this Special Agent Support Section really the department that person wants to establish?
Well, although it’s a little different from what I imagined, it’s not bad. Tio thought to herself.
