Time back to the afternoon.

Piltover Police Station, Interrogation Room.

As a newcomer who has just entered the industry with ideals in mind, Caitlin at this time has a kind of stubbornness, or naive insistence, on legal procedures.

After she brought Li Wei and the young law enforcement officer who was ordered to kill back to the police station, she still interrogated them, took notes, and recorded statements as usual when investigating cases.

Seeing her stubborn attitude, Li Wei had no choice but to cooperate.

Finally, the interrogation was over.

"Thank you, Mr. Levy."

Caitlin took a long sigh of relief with Levi's signed statement:

"With these, it is enough to apply to the Piltover Council for a warrant of investigation against Sheriff Marcos and the Iron Fists."

"Eh..." Li Wei twitched his lips: "Miss Caitlin, do you still want to follow the legal process and wait for the investigation warrant to investigate them openly?"

"Yeah." Caitlin was determined.

"Do you think this is useful?"

"Whether it is useful or not, I must persist. Because I am not a vigilante, but a law enforcement officer."

"But you have broken the rules." Li Wei was a little helpless: "Look at this interrogation room, besides you, is there anyone else who dares to approach?"

According to the rules of the Piltover Police Department, a formal interrogation of a suspect should be attended by at least two law enforcement officers.

But before Caitlin wanted to invite colleagues to participate in the interrogation, but no law enforcement officer in the police station was willing to get involved.

Everyone even avoided her like the plague.

Even if her surname is Gilaman.

"After all, Sheriff Chief Marcos is the head of the Piltover Law Enforcement Department and the immediate boss of law enforcement officers. Before the situation is clear, they probably won't easily stand between you and Sheriff Marcos."

"So... this battle, I'm afraid you can only fight it alone."

Although he doesn't know much about the internal situation of the Picheng Police Station, Li Wei can understand these things after thinking about it.

Can't Caitlin understand?

Of course she understands.

But she still held on to the transcript stubbornly, straightened her spine and slowly stood up from the interrogation seat: "No, I'm not alone."

"Behind me stand the law and justice of Piltover."

The voice just fell...

Behind Caitlin, the closed door of the interrogation room was pushed open from the outside.

A middle-aged man with thin hair, a short beard, and the uniform of a senior law enforcement officer walked in slowly.

His leather shoes were polished brightly, the seams of his trousers were pulled straight, his belt was straight, and the buttons, cuffs, and neckline were all neatly arranged.

This perfect image of a law enforcement officer with perfect morals naturally gives people an upright and awe-inspiring look.

However, this man is precisely:

"Sheriff Marcos."

A layer of frost formed on Caitlin's face, and she stared at him coldly.

"You came just in time to—"

"I have obtained the statements of the victim and the suspect, and I am going to ask you to explain this matter too."

"Caitlin." Marcos closed the door without changing his expression: "Stop messing around."

"Now that things are going on, do you still want to play the elder in front of me?" Caitlin frowned, showing no sign of weakness: "Collude with gangsters, abuse power, accuse murder..."

"Sir Marcos, don't you have anything to explain?"

Marcos was silent for a while.

He glanced at Caitlin helplessly, then slowly took out a thin document from his pocket.

"What is this?" Kaitlyn wondered.

"This is a certificate issued by a psychologist at the police station." Marcos's tone was terribly calm: "It proves that the law enforcement officer who shot at Mr. Levi had a long-term mental condition and an abnormal mental state. He was suspected of having mental illnesses such as depression and delusions. tendency."

"So the actions and testimony of the police officer cannot be judged logically, nor can they be accepted as evidence."

Li Wei: "..."

Dude, even the psychotic shooter has been assigned to him.

His treatment has risen several heights from ordinary Zu'an elders.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Levy."

"It's all a bad misunderstanding because we didn't pay enough attention to the psychological state of the police officers."

"Misunderstanding?" Li Wei smiled disdainfully: "I think your only misunderstanding..."

"You just misunderstood me as an old Zu'an who can be crushed to death at will. You didn't expect me to be a difficult Transcendent?"

Marcos was neither angry nor rebuttal.

As if acquiescing to this point, he continued on his own:

"Whatever the reason, the fault was ours."

"Our Piltover Police Department is willing to take responsibility and make reasonable compensation to you. As for the previous conflict between you and the Iron Fist Gang, we will also go out to mediate—"

"As long as you agree to the settlement, all your previous crimes can be written off."

"And I believe that the Iron Fist Gang is also very willing to apologize to you for their offense to you."

Marcos' natural persuasion made Caitlin's eyes widen in disbelief.

She didn't seem to expect that the officer she once respected would be so sanctimonious, even shameless:

"Sheriff Marcos!"

"What the hell are you doing! Are you blatantly fabricating evidence in front of me, buying witnesses, trying to make the victim change his mouth, and help you cover up your dirty crime?"

Caitlin's anger was almost uncontrollable.

But Marcos didn't seem to hear her words.

Caitlin sees herself as a warrior against Marcos, against evil.

But Marcos is like an old man facing a wayward child, and doesn't take her nonsense at all.

He just looked at Li Wei calmly, and asked: "Mr. Li Wei, I hope you can forgive our mistakes and end this grievance."

"Otherwise, this matter will continue to be deadlocked... You have to know that the accusations that the Iron Fist gang has accused you of beating and seriously injuring you and possessing prohibited drugs are also true."

"Although we in Piltover advocate peace and are not good at violence, it's not like just a random mage coming over can see the law and do whatever they want."

Li Wei also understood the implication:

Just ask him whether it is private or public.

This is the end of the private matter, not only does not need to go to jail, but also financial compensation. That little Iron Fist gang will never dare to provoke him again in the future.

As for the public... That is to be an enemy of the existing order in Piltover, and it is inevitable to go to prison for a few days.

"Actually, I don't want to cause trouble."

"But..." Li Wei glanced at Caitlin, whose gaze was already extremely cold: "I have promised Miss Gilamann that I will cooperate with her in the investigation."

"When this matter will be settled, she has the final say."

"I understand... Then we will continue to follow the procedure. Please, Mr. Li Wei, go to Jingshui Prison for a few days."

Marcos didn't drag his feet at all, and without looking at Caitlin, he was about to get up and leave after speaking.

"Stop!" After a long silence, Caitlin broke out: "Sergeant Marcos, when I entered the industry, you were the one who put on a police cap for me and took me to swear an oath to the police badge."

"But take a look—with your shameless appearance, are you still a law enforcement officer?"

Marcos stopped.

He finally responded to Caitlin:

"The job of a marshal is to maintain order in Piltover, not disrupt it."

"Catelyn, you are not fit to be a law enforcement officer."

"You?!" Caitlin clenched her fists tightly, and even the blue ponytail was trembling angrily.

"Marcos—" she didn't even call the sheriff: "You wait! I will definitely find evidence of your interests with the Iron Fist, and then send you to prison with my own hands!"

"Oh..." Marcos turned and left again.

Before pushing the door and leaving, he only left one sentence:

"I'm the Sheriff of Piltover."

Piltover has no army, the law enforcement is their armed force.

Although Picheng's truly powerful force is actually the private soldiers of those big families. But even so, as the chief sheriff of Piltover, sheriff Marcos, who is in charge of all the law enforcement officers in Piltover, is also an extremely powerful existence.

"Caitlin, do you really think—"

"A little bastard like the Iron Fist Gang is qualified to have a relationship with me?"

With that said, Marcos closed the door and left.

Caitlin suddenly stood where she was, muttering to herself, "He, what does he mean?"

"This..." Levi tried to translate what Marcos said: "He probably said:"

"Everyone who understands this matter...don't ask him what's wrong, the interests are too involved, and it won't do you any good if you talk about it, just pretend you don't know, the rest can only be said that the water is deep here, There are a lot of big names involved..."

Caitlin: "..."

She didn't care if there were any big shots in it.

The deeper the water, the bigger the fish, the more she will stir up this pool of stagnant water until the earth is turned upside down, and the muddy river water must be cleared!

"I'm going to apply for an investigation order from Piltover Council now!"

Caitlin bit her lip tightly, and was about to rush out the door with the testimony she collected.

"Wait." Li Wei reminded her with some concern: "You told me before..."

"Marcos is the chief of police. If you want to investigate an official of his level, you must have an investigation order signed by the congressman, right?"

"Yes!" Caitlin was still angry and didn't think much about it.

"Then do you still think that you can get the signature of the congressman?"

why not

Her mother is an MP.

She just needs to go home and find her mother to sign, and she can arrest people when she comes back. The procedure is simpler than the school sending out transcripts.

"Wait..." There was a sudden chill.

Her mother is an MP, she knows it, and so does Levi.

Marcos...of course he does.

Kaitlyn's blood was suddenly turned cold.
