Chapter 655
…
On both sides of the street stand tall buildings, all of which are built with limestone bricks and carefully beveled wood.
Every detail shows the ingenuity and exquisite craftsmanship of the builders. Whether it is the walls, window sills or door frames, they are all covered with bronze, exuding a beautiful luster.
Through the leaded glass windows, you can see the warm lights in the room sprinkled on the street, contrasting with the brass eaves.
This is a bustling street near Piltover in Zaun, with bustling crowds and noisy sounds filling the entire space. At the end of the street is the location of the famous Zaun Law Enforcement Bureau 7.
If the two cities were connected before, no one would believe that this is Zaun.
As night falls, the vibrant city of Zaun welcomes its unique nightlife.
People go out of their homes to find their own entertainment.
Some people choose to go to the dance corridor, where there are wonderful performances and cheerful music;
Some people are keen to stroll on the streets, shuttle between the dazzling array of shops, and choose the items they like;
Some people walk towards the east of Zaun, their destination is the famous red-light street, hoping to relax there.
At this moment, in the Law Enforcement Bureau 7, Director Caitlin is sitting at her workstation, staring at the photos of the glimmer smuggling case in front of her.
Beside her is a thick stack of newspapers with various reports related to the case.
Caitlin frowned and looked serious, as if she was trying to find the key to solving the case from these clues.
Caitlin is wearing a dark green law enforcement uniform, which follows the classic style of Piltover.
The well-cut design not only highlights her slender figure, but also makes her look heroic.
It has to be said that this law enforcement uniform seems to be tailor-made for her, and it fits her perfectly.
Once, Caitlyn was the boss of the Zaun law enforcement officers.
However, this position was not entirely due to her personal strength and hard work, but benefited from the unremitting support and promotion of the powerful Jiraman family behind her.
When this "airborne" headquarters from Piltover appeared in Zaun, the Zaun law enforcement officers were extremely cold to her.
Not to mention actively cooperating with her to carry out her work, some people even dared to openly embarrass Caitlyn and give her a cold shoulder in front of everyone.
In fact, Caitlyn herself does have certain abilities.
However, due to the indifference and undisguised resistance of many Zaun people, many people came to a seemingly not very objective conclusion after observation and evaluation-
Caitlyn's ability does not seem to be enough for this important position.
This situation also reflects from the side that there are many doubts about Caitlin's ability to sit in this high position:
Thinking that she may have obtained the opportunity through improper means.
However, it would be fine if Caitlin chose to turn a blind eye to it or silently endure it.
But she is a person with a strong self-esteem and can't tolerate others talking about her like this.
Therefore, Caitlin, who has a stubborn personality, resolutely resigned from the high position of Zaun Law Enforcement Bureau.
Caitlin wants to prove herself in Zaun.
Fortunately, despite facing such a difficult situation, Caitlin has a very capable local deputy captain who always accompanies her and never leaves her.
With his assistance, I believe Caitlin will be able to overcome many difficulties and prove her true strength to everyone with practical actions!
Now, the Zaun Law Enforcement Bureau has changed.
Under the strong recommendation of Hilko, an influential figure, a woman named Sevika took up this important position and became the new boss of Zaun Security.
Sevika comes from the dark alleys of Zaun. She is not only good at fighting, but also loyal to Zaun. Deep in her heart, she has a beautiful vision of making Zaun have a brighter tomorrow.
Zaun Law Enforcement Bureau immediately began to maintain the order of Zaun.
Sevika never knew what is affection. As long as someone violates the law and precepts, she will take action without hesitation and will never tolerate or condone.
Although the means she adopted may be a little cruel and rough, judging from the final results, it has indeed brought positive effects to maintaining the order of Zaun.
As for Caitlin now, she is sitting quietly in a comfortable chair, concentrating on examining the various clues that her team members have collected tirelessly in the past few days.
Her eyes are like a hawk, not letting go of any clues.
The brain is stillProfiled like a projector.
Caitlin's mother had been trying hard to persuade her to return to Piltover.
After all, although the two places had achieved peaceful coexistence, the innate sense of superiority of the people of Piltover was still looming.
They always looked down on Zaun.
However, Caitlin refused to listen to her mother's advice.
She insisted on staying in Zaun.
Because in her opinion, there were relatively few illegal and criminal cases in Piltover, which could not satisfy her heart that longed for justice.
And in Zaun, there were countless evildoers waiting for her to bring them to justice.
Of course, the most important thing was...
"Hey! Kate? When I passed by below, I saw that the lights above were still on. I was thinking, who else could it be except you, a workaholic!"
With this shout, the heavy door of the director's office was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
A woman with short pink hair walked in in a hurry.
With a bright smile on her face, she walked straight to Caitlin's desk.
After she walked to the desk, she gently placed the two cups of coffee in her hands on the table, then skillfully picked up one of the cups, shook it at Caitlin, and said with a smile:
"Milk coffee, 50% sugar, this is your favorite!"
However, Caitlin seemed to have not heard it at this time, still lowering her head to focus on the documents at hand, and even did not raise her head.
Because she didn't need to look up to know that the person who came was her deputy who had been with her day and night and fought side by side - Viole.
In this city, whether it was Sevika, Scar or Jinx, almost all the law enforcement officers and Zaun people treated her coldly, full of hostility and prejudice.
Only her deputy Viole always stood by her side unswervingly, giving her constant support and encouragement.
After Wei Aolai took two sips of coffee, her eyes fell on Caitlin's bloodshot eyes, and she couldn't help but feel helpless.
So, she put down the cup in her hand and comforted softly:
"Kate, don't always put so much pressure on yourself. Look, it's time to get off work now, we should relax appropriately and leave ourselves some breathing space..."
"Haha, we have found a breakthrough in the glimmer smuggling case!" Caitlin smiled and carefully placed the key evidence photos in her hand on the table in a certain order.
Then she examined them one by one with full concentration, while muttering her findings and analysis.
Wei, who was sitting next to her, sighed helplessly, and was speechless in her heart, Caitlin, this workaholic.
Seeing this guy who was so focused on solving the case and completely ignored his own fatigue, Wei was really a bit headache, so she couldn't help but persuade him:
"Kate, no matter how important the case is, you have to leave yourself some time to relax! You work so hard day and night, your body will sooner or later be unable to bear it! It's not worth it!"
"Why rest when you have found the clues!" Caitlin seemed to have not heard Wei's advice at all, and continued to fiddle with the photos without raising her head.
Caitlin picked up a few pens at the side and stabbed them one by one on several photos that were regarded as key evidence without hesitation.
Perhaps only when she was with Wei, Caitlin would show such a talkative and lively side. She was heard explaining to Wei incessantly:
"Listen, Wei, I have always been suspicious of those so-called alchemy barons in Zaun."
"You know, they are guys from criminal groups. How could they be honest and law-abiding and not go back to their old ways?"
"Especially the most powerful councillor in Zaun, Hilco. However, I need to collect more evidence. I have almost locked the target."
"By the way, Smithy, do you remember? The alchemy baron who was not elected as a Zaun councillor?"
Wei nodded.
She didn't like the alchemy baron either.
The name Hilco was simply a pain that could never be erased from her heart - it was he who brutally killed Wei's beloved father.
