Shadow of great britain

Chapter 23 Dreamlike Reality

The middle-aged gentleman wearing a black top hat and a gold-rimmed monocle saw Arthur didn't respond, so he repeated his question.

"Excuse me, is this Officer Arthur Hastings?"

Arthur turned around slowly, and he noticed the familiar face of the other party.

"You're looking for me?"

The middle-aged gentleman smiled and took off the white glove on his right hand, and stretched out his hand to Arthur: "I'm not looking for you, but waiting for you."

Arthur held the other person's hand in a daze: "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

"Not long." The middle-aged gentleman smiled: "It's only been two days. I thought you wouldn't come back."

"Two days?" Arthur asked, "What are you waiting for me for?"

The middle-aged gentleman waved to the servant behind him, and soon, a document was delivered to his hand.

The middle-aged gentleman smiled and lifted the document and shook it in front of Arthur: "Look, of course I sent you a letter of thanks from the police."

When Arthur heard this, he smiled helplessly: "You should know that I am no longer a policeman."

"It doesn't matter."

After saying that, the middle-aged gentleman asked again: "If you don't mind, can you come with me? I have some gifts behind and I hope to give them to you as well. Even if you have decided to leave your job, I I still want to express my gratitude to the citizens of London for your fair enforcement of the law."

Arthur wanted to refuse, but the red devil suddenly appeared again.

Agares said insinuatingly: "Arthur, even if your ten pounds of savings can go to America, you won't have much left when you get there. Accepting his gift is what you deserve! You still have to eat, but I can't I don’t want you to starve to death on the street, villains of your level are so hard to find these days.”

After hearing this, Arthur also felt that what Agares said made sense.

So after hesitating for a moment, he accepted the middle-aged gentleman's request.

"Thank you so much for your kind donation, I may really need this gift right now."

The middle-aged gentleman just smiled. He did not speak, but led Arthur to the steps to the second floor and stood there.

Just when Arthur was confused, the middle-aged gentleman suddenly turned around and spoke to everyone behind him.

“Recently, the Adam Evans theft case, which was supervised by the Metropolitan Police, has attracted widespread attention from Londoners and the British public.

Well-known media such as "The Times" and "Manchester Guardian" have published stories about the outstanding performance of Officer Arthur Hastings, a police officer from the Greenwich District of Scotland Yard, in the Magistrates' Court. London citizens praised Officer Arthur's behavior. .

Such behavior also triggered extensive discussions among MPs in the House of Commons, and the Supreme Court also issued a call to amend the Bloody Act.

And all of this is thanks to the unremitting struggle and efforts of Officer Arthur Hastings.

Officer Arthur's performance in the Magistrates' Court was exemplary and established a righteous, glorious and responsible police image for the public.

He perfectly abides by the historical tradition and professional code of "Police Instructions" that "the police are the public, and the public is the police".

And this is exactly the goal that Scotland Yard has been pursuing tirelessly since its establishment.

therefore……"

The middle-aged gentleman opened the documents in his hands to everyone and announced loudly.

“Robert Peel, Minister in Charge of the Home Office of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Chief Executive of Scotland Yard, hereby reads Order No. 23 of the Home Office of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for this year.

After discussions at the internal administrative meeting of the Ministry of Home Affairs and combined with the joint recommendations of the five police chiefs of the Metropolitan Police Department, we respect the strong voice of the London citizens.

After careful consideration, the Ministry of Home Affairs has decided to exercise its authority under internal regulations to formally reject the resignation application of Inspector Arthur Hastings of the Greenwich District of the London Metropolitan Police.

Arthur Hastings was promoted to the position of Inspector of the Greenwich Police District of the East London Region of the London Metropolitan Police. He has 4 branch sergeants and 144 patrol officers. The supervisory management includes RG1 and RG2. , RG3, and RG4.

This resolution will take effect immediately from the date of issuance of the administrative order. "

As soon as Sir Peel finished his words, a uniform voice erupted in the office.

Arthur turned around in a daze, and saw his colleagues all facing the direction of him, each standing like a sharp sword.

"Salute to Inspector Arthur Hastings of the Metropolitan Police!"

With a hula, countless hands were raised to the brows, with uniform movements.

Arthur felt that his mind was in a mess. Even when he faced Willocks' attack just now, he had never been so weak. He was so weak that he needed to hold on to the stair railing beside him to stand.

But even though he had no strength left, he still used the last bit of energy in his body to raise his hand to his eyebrows.

His salute was as standard as that of his colleagues.

Sir Peel smiled and handed the letter of appointment to Arthur who was in a daze.

"Officer Arthur, if you disagree with our decision to reject your resignation application, you can also go to the civil court to sue the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Of course, I don't want to see that happen. The best case scenario is that I hope you can see it. For the sake of my friend, I accept this appointment."

A police sergeant carrying an epaulette with three V logos walked up the steps holding a brand new police uniform and an epaulette with three Bath stars, and stood in front of Arthur.

He first saluted Arthur with a serious face, and then said in a loud voice.

"Welcome back to the team! Sir!"

Arthur's hand hovered over the familiar police uniform. He hesitated for a while, and finally rested his sweaty palm on the emblem of the Metropolitan Police.

When the policemen who stood at attention and saluted saw this, they finally couldn't restrain their excitement. They cheered, crushed the newspapers on the table, tore them into pieces, and threw them into the sky.

Fragments of newspapers fell like snowflakes in every corner of the office.

But from the incomplete newspaper fragments, Arthur still had difficulty in distinguishing some news titles and contents.
