In a small, tightly guarded meeting room, pale carbonized lights shine directly on the desk. A middle-aged man over fifty, thin and with long, dry hair is stirring a coffee spoon.
This person was Lasus, who was sent here by the Special Patrol Office and was jointly responsible for the affairs of the Uflansel area with Owen.
An inspector who knows three things well.
Lassius worked with Owen very early. In fact, he was an old subordinate of Owen's father Colin.
The special thing is that Lasus was only a senior investigator two years ago, but at the same time, he was also a musicologist and composer. After confirming his promotion to "Lion Forging", with the help of keys successively provided by the organization,
Directly promoted to the third level of Xuxiao.
"I want to know your opinion." Owen paced in the meeting room.
"What do you expect to hear?" Lassus picked up the coffee and sniffed the bitter and mellow white smoke.
"Turner Hall announced that Carolne Van Ning will conduct the Old Symphony Orchestra in seven days." Irving did not stop walking, speaking clearly, lowly, and coldly.
"The news came out of the blue, and the time, place, characters, content and other elements were all forewarned. In a sense, it formed an ironic contrast with the unclear search plan of our agency. At least, I should let them understand who is responsible first.
The approval and supervision side cannot decide who can take the stage at what time and where through ‘claims’.”
"At the same time, I hope to know how you will carry out a targeted manhunt plan, so that I can cooperate in a timely manner - since the prey came out on its own and claimed that it will officially make another move after seven days, then, if
On the third day, he was taken out in advance and "passively displayed", and his arrogance also collapsed in an ironic way."
"An hour ago, I ordered all investigation teams of all light and dark lines to stop their operations." Lasus slowly pushed the coffee cup he took a sip to the side.
When Owen heard this, he suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Are you kidding? Or are you being ironic?"
Lasus shook his head slowly: "If you want to know my opinion, then this is it. If you still have the patience to listen to more, then I don't recommend you to use low-level means like 'approval restrictions' where the form is greater than the content to deal with this."
One question.”
An unknown anger that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly surged out of Owen's heart, and his tone suddenly rose to a higher level, causing the windows of the meeting room to shake faintly: "Your Excellency Lasus, since setting limits on approval is a low-level method, then may I ask?
What is the high-level method? Is it like you directly shutting down and neglecting your duties?"
Lassius didn't mind Owen's overreaction, and smiled calmly and asked: "What was the original words of their music director in response to you?"
"Every concert needs your strong support. Our theater chain must not do illegal business." Owen looked at him coldly and repeated Walter's words.
"Do you think a person with Walter's level of humaneness and sophistication could come up with such a watertight and sharp response?" Lassus narrowed his eyes to confront him.
"What a 'need our strong support' and 'don't do illegal business', it seems to be asking for help. What if we don't support it? I apologize for the postponement of the performance and tell the truth about the situation. The cultural department has not reviewed it."
Passed, and I also ask all the music fans who have bought tickets, booked hotels, adjusted their social schedule, and are stranded in Uflandsel to understand and patiently wait for follow-up notifications?"
"Sir Owen, do you think that in the above process, apart from making you feel happy, have your actual interests and reputation been benefited or damaged? Have the organization's actual interests and reputation been benefited or damaged?"
"Do you think Walter's words are a request, a sign of humility, a sign of weakness, or a retaliation, a showdown, or a threat?"
"Do you think that with the counter-reconnaissance and evasion abilities that Fan Ning has shown - in the past two years, he made the whole world feel as if he was dead - and now using the mouthpiece of Turner Art Hall to let out the news, we can be there in seven days
Has his whereabouts been found?"
"Lasus, do you think that the series of words you just said are very convincing and your eyes are very sophisticated and cruel?" Owen walked to the other party's seat with a gloomy face and slowly asked this sentence.
He has always been such a person, with a clear understanding of himself. Due to studying the mystery of "Jin", he has a narrow-minded and irritable temper. Fortunately, after every emotional peak, his mind will cool down.
"It is a very stupid thing to spend your energy arguing with your colleagues, but today because of Fan Ning's emergence, you have fallen into this kind of stupidity. In fact, you have just been vetoing other people's proposals and replacing the original ones.
A point of view that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences has turned into a series of depressing rhetorical questions without any substantive output. Where are your own solutions? What about your superb level as the inspector of the third level of Xu Xiao? The leader has emphasized many times this year
'Mysterious Art of Leadership', in the end your conclusion is that we should allow those artists to defy the authority of our hall and move around the stage unscrupulously?"
"why are you laughing?"
Seeing the other party's facial reaction to his words, Owen felt that the anger he had been suppressing was about to reach the critical point.
"You took the initiative to quote the leader's instructions." Lasus's withered facial muscles caused a smile.
"But have you ever thought about why it is neither a mysterious 'serving' art nor a mysterious 'killing' art? Oh, you are definitely not the small group of conservative right-wingers in the hall, but out of some personal hatred, you
The concept has been seriously skewed to the other extreme. Every word used in the leader's instructions is precise. Why is it called 'leadership'? What is 'leadership'? Only when a group is effective for us, it constitutes the needs of our office.
When you are part of the established order, leadership is needed! It seems that you still need to work hard to correctly understand Mr. Pogorelic’s intentions. You still don’t quite understand the interpretation and instructions of many leaders on the new situation.”
"Yes, what I still don't understand is why the organization made such arrangements on the personnel adjustment issue in Uflanser County," Owen sneered.
Perhaps the organization's arrangement was based on purely work considerations, but a former subordinate suddenly transformed and directly overcame him, becoming a deputy and a deputy.
Moreover, there is no possibility for him to climb higher.
"Lasus, your words are always so condescending and 'correct'. Should I praise you in the tone of a subordinate and say, 'Your guidance is correct'?"
"But today we are sitting here. The reason for everything is just because, in the choice of personal field of study many years ago - the choice of path in an equal sense - you chose musicology and composition, and I chose fighting and robbing.
Skills?"
Fortunately, I passed through the first door a few years early. Otherwise, I would not be eligible to be promoted to the Deeper in the future, and I would only have less than twenty years left in my life.
This is ironic and ridiculous, isn't it?
"You think this is very important, right?" Hearing this, Lasus suddenly sighed.
Owen was a little surprised and didn't know what he wanted to say.
"For you, it is an extreme regret and injustice to suddenly lose the qualification to climb further for the reason of 'not being a great artist'? Do you think that in the current year 916 of the new calendar, rising higher brings strength?
, power, glory, detachment, and the satisfaction of further understanding the truth of the world? If the control rules hadn't changed, you wouldn't have planned to be promoted to the Order Enforcer if you had the chance, right?"
Owen fell into silence because of these three consecutive questions, and Lasus then slowly uttered another sentence:
"Recently, senior officials of several official organizations, including our agency, unexpectedly received distress signals from Inspector General Rudolf Homon and Norma Gunn."
A distress signal?
Some unknown terror suddenly made Owen's teeth tremble.
Compared to the various horrors and distortions he had witnessed during his patrol life, or the calmness after hearing the news of the two deaths from Mr. Wax, at this moment he only felt like a bucket of bitingly cold ice water had soaked through his body!
