Chapter 23

At midnight, outside the main gate of the port of Toulon police station, under several light poles, nearly 100 valiant men with live ammunition and swords hanging around their waists gathered here.

They either lean on the lamppost or the outer wall of the police station. Some people sit on the ground and play cards with the bright gas streetlights. There are several silver coins in front of everyone.

More than a dozen policemen mingled in the crowd, laughing and joking with them. Boxes and boxes of beautifully packed cigarettes were handed between them. It was very happy. It was obvious that everyone was an old friend.

Joe followed Stein out of the Navy Club and trotted across the road to the police station. The senior agents said hello to Stein and dispersed in twos and threes.

As senior and elite police officers, these agents have their own contacts and have their own staff. Once authorized, they can enter the working state immediately. Only Joe didn't know, so he was still with Stein.

A group of smart men quickly gathered together, smiling to say hello to Joe.

More than a dozen patrol officers lowered their heads and smeared oil on their sneaky feet for fear of being caught by Stein. They were lazy while on duty.

Joe waved to the family guards, bowed his head and asked Stein, "godfather, I don't understand. It broke out on the 15th, but today, I feel that everyone is deliberately procrastinating. All of them are deliberately delaying time. "

"Two days, two whole days, that's wasted?"

Stein lit a cigarette. He took a puff of smoke and looked at the young man named "Godfather" with a smile. So he didn't mind passing on some experience to Joe.

"Two days, no waste. The army, the police, and those... " Stein pointed to the line of carts that left quickly at the gate of the Navy Club. "Those guys who have been dealing with intrigues all day have been doing their best to track down the attackers that night."

"But the incident is too sensational and the loss of port Tulun is too heavy. The imperial capital will certainly pay close attention to this matter. We must give the capital a clear and credible conclusion that can be explained to the people of the Empire. Therefore, a special investigation team is necessary. "

Stein nodded on Joe's chest: "but special investigation team, don't come in too early. You see, the unlimited power of investigation, this kind of power, is the investigation group must have, but this kind of power, let everybody incomparably fear. "

Joe seems to have learned something.

"So, these two days? Even if longster and papacy fight in person, they have to fight for time... "

"Wipe your ass!" Stein spat rudely on the ground: "imperial intelligence headquarters, the military investigation bureau of the Imperial Army, the overseas Hydrographic Survey Bureau of the Imperial Navy, even the naval fleet in port Toulon, and even the Royal Naval Academy These two days are just the time to stay and wipe their ass! "

"If the special investigation team was set up two days ago, it would be strong enough to enter..."

Stein felt his neck subconsciously and said dryly, "do you believe it? The next day, my head may be fed to the dog. "

"How many things can't be seen among the people involved this time? Don't say anything else, just say How did nearly half of the guns of the ocean fleet of the witus come from? "

Joe frowned hard: "listen to my father, that's The daily training waste of the garrison in port Tulun. "

Stein laughed: "it's really quack, 90% of the new waste products. Of course, the price of waste products is only a little more than 10% of that of new guns, so they are waste products. "

Stein shrugged his shoulders. "So why is general longster, and the wittoons, such close friends?"

Turning his lips away, Stein sneered: "besides the Navy, the fleet of the wells family, those guns, and a large number of shells, Flint guns, Imperial Navy swords, and even the newly added class I cruiser" retired due to injury "added by the wells family last year

"Quack quack, don't jump, oh, retired because of injury, well done!"

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled a long smoke. Stein said in a deep voice: "Joe, dear child, two days of mutual prevarication and accusation, as well as all the quarrels, abuse and even fighting, are the tacit understanding of everyone."

"Wipe your butt. In two days, let's clean up your butt. Two days, that's the limit that all parties can tolerate. If in two days, they can't deal with these shady things Once it's turned out, think it's bad luck. "

Joe, along with some of his bodyguards, looked at Stein in amazement.

In his heart, Joe asked Stein curiously, "so, the Marquis of sijak, he..."

Stein spat on the ground, spraying his cigarette butt and a mouthful of saliva on the drain cover on the side of the road.

"Marquis sijak, ah, you see what he looks like today. He is a noble, respectable old nobleman who holds great power and works hard for the Empire."Stein sneered: "he raised hundreds of lively and lovely little boys in his manor in the foreshore district. It's the little boy, not the little girl. If it was a little girl, I would envy him, but little boy, oh, Ho

Stein reached for Joe's chest and chuckled, "now do you know? Why did Liya forbid you to go to the foreshore when you were a child? "

Joe's mouth was wide open, and there was a flash in his head. After a long time, he said in horror, "aha, ha. It's a respectable, moral model. "

Stein pulled at his wrinkled coat and slapped Joe on the arm.

"Joe, don't pay attention to these filthy activities. It's a unanimous decision of your father and I to let you join the special investigation team this time."

"As long as you name yourself in the investigation team, when the results of the investigation come out, you will have a lot of credit, and then a little bit of operation. You are now the youngest police officer in the history of port Tulun, and soon you will be the youngest police officer in the history of the whole empire."

"You were born to be a big man."

"Take a look at gorkin. He relies on his unquestionable and solid fighting skills. He is only seven years older than you. He is already a commander in the imperial army."

"Look at Tifa. She is about to finish her four-year internship and become the youngest official judge in the history of the port Tulun district court. Oh, she will become the youngest female judge in the history of the entire Durham empire."

"Maybe, one day, Tifa will be met by the queen because of her achievements? It is very likely that the queen has always attached great importance to the liberation of women's rights, and she has been encouraging girls to take more and more important positions in the imperial system. "

"Gorkin, Tifa, they're all excellent. And Joe, you are also born to be a big man. " Stein slapped Joe on the arm again. "Well, it's late at night. Don't worry about Leah. Go back to rest."

Joe looked at Stein and reached out to help him flick a small piece of soot off his shoulder.

"Godfather." Joe reached out and pressed his heart.

The heart beat violently, the anger accumulated in his heart, and some inexplicable will made Joe's morale boil.

"What's the matter?" Stein thinks there's something wrong with Joe today. For the past 18 years, Joe has been most active in fighting with the dandies in port TURUN. He has always been like a salted fish in everything else.

But today, obviously, there are subtle changes in Joe.

Stein watched Joe grow from a small, frail little baby to such a big, fat man. Even the night before yesterday, he opened up the sea of strength by himself.

He's Joe's godfather. He could feel the subtle change in Joe.

"To be honest, I didn't want to be a policeman before." Joe looked at Stein with his back. "Since I can enjoy everything as long as I lie down and enjoy life as much as I want, why should I work hard?"

"But Maybe it was the roar of the Torr cannon that awakened me

In Joe's eyes, there was a faint crimson light shining. He told Stein very seriously, "my past thought was wrong. Is a lot of money enough for a man? "

Shaking his head hard, Joe said sincerely, "no, no, no, what is money? Power and power Especially strength. "

"The moment I peed my pants in the roar of the Torr cannon, I woke up."

"When I was chased by those terrible killers, opened up the sea of strength, and even killed a few of them, I woke up."

Stein's face changed a little He didn't even know that Joe killed someone the night before yesterday?

No wonder Joe can open the sea of power.

Life and death is the time to break through easily.

Many of the soldiers in the imperial army were on the battlefield. When they faced the first life and death crisis, they suddenly opened the sea of strength.

Stein's face was gloomy.

He's going to have a good discussion with Hessen about this. Did Joe kill someone? Stein couldn't imagine what Joe had gone through the night before.

"I don't want to go home." Joe looked at Stein and said seriously, "I want to be a part of the investigation team, not just a lot of credit."

"To take credit from my colleagues is an insult to me, to the Rittal family, and even more to you, my godfather." Joe grinned. "I want to be honest and get the credit I deserve."

Stein raised his hand and, after a long time, patted Joe on the arm.

In his eyes, there was a shimmer of water: "Oh, Joe, you've finally grown up."

With a heavy cough, Stein said in a deep voice: "well, do as you please, old Stein, it will be your strong backing. All the resources of port Toulon police station are available to you at will. "

"I'll send someone to tell Hessen and Leia. Do what you want."

Joe nodded his head vigorously, and a flash of light flashed into his mind. Suddenly, he thought of one thing: "if we can't get a definite result in seven days?"Stein smiles.

"Your father and I think that seven days later, it is good to have a result. If there is no result, then this incident must be caused by the little girl named Heinrich. All the responsibility is the Navy."

"Commander of the TURUN fleet, wouldn't it be nice if you could change to your own Stein made a very ugly face.
