Nowadays, Wayne is not as resistant to the work of the City Guard as before.
Maybe it's because he's gradually getting used to being recruited, or maybe it's because he actually feels from the bottom of his heart that being able to do his best to help others is not a bad thing.
But in the final analysis, the biggest reason is that the salary offered to them by the City Guards is really not low. If they get paid for nothing and don't work, it won't look so good after all.
After all, this money comes from the people's wealth and the people's blessings, and those who have paid the fruits of their labor should receive reasonable returns.
Moreover, as a special team member, Bulwer also gave him high enough authority, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
Even within the Red Rose Team, where the city guard already has a very prominent position, all problems that require Ax's help will be solved with his consent in advance and priority will be given to Ax's time schedule.
In return, Wayne did solve many cases for the City Guard as Aikos.
But this time, he was not here to solve the problem.
"No. 1, Brunwell Avenue, do you have any impressions?" Wayne glanced around at the patrol office in the outer city.
As an agency under the jurisdiction of the City Guard, the unified magic lamp on the ceiling provides sufficient light, but other configurations are somewhat unsatisfactory. The tables and chairs arranged in partitions are very old and have obvious signs of damage. The indoor temperature is about the same as the outdoor temperature.
Ma Qi was startled and stood up a little awkwardly. "Yes, that is one of the areas where my subordinates are responsible for security."
Even in the civilian areas of the outer city, the streets he was responsible for were not prosperous areas. Although Brunwell Avenue is named in memory of a great general in the kingdom's history, it only takes ten minutes for ordinary people to walk through it. Most of the people living here are ordinary people, and there is less movement of people.
Ma Qi didn't know the person in front of him, but based on the respectful attitude of the Director of the Patrol Department, he could guess that this must be a very powerful senior figure.
"I heard that you just joined the job not long ago. Have you checked the archived information?"
"The records of the station here within the past ten years have been roughly reviewed, but the archives further back have been transferred to the City Guard Headquarters..."
"So, how many properties are held by foreigners and foreigners at No. 1 Brunwell Avenue?"
After hearing March's answer, Wayne nodded slightly.
In fact, he had already checked this answer before coming here, just to test whether March really understood the situation.
After asking a few more questions, Wayne finally explained his purpose.
"There are several of them. I need you to lead a team to visit them tomorrow in the name of checking security. I will order the lady next to me, Vera, to act as an ordinary guard under you. Don't worry about what she does. In short, you can hold them back when the time comes. Just be the owner of several houses.”
Wayne began to skillfully use both kindness and power: "If things are done well, you will naturally have a share of the credit. But if things go wrong..."
He didn't need to elaborate, and March understood the seriousness of the consequences.
Although he was not completely sure in his heart, Ma Qi knew that this was the time for him to perform well.
"I will never betray your trust!" He bowed solemnly with a confident gesture that he had practiced countless times in private.
The second day.
After changing her clothes, Vera arrived at the meeting place agreed yesterday in advance.
All the procedures and documents for this search are in place. For this reason, the City Guard Headquarters has specially assigned some people to carry out a city-wide security hazard inspection operation as a cover.
While Vera tied up her long hair with a black tie, she asked curiously: "Ms. Echos, why do we need to borrow this newcomer's hand? He has just joined the job, and I'm afraid he has no experience in hiding his identity. .”
"It doesn't matter. Even if someone with good intentions discovers our actions, the results won't be bad."
Although Vera doesn't know Echo's true identity, she has a close relationship with the Winche family, so Wayne won't be too cold towards her.
Vera's eyes widened, slightly dazed.
"I
Isn't our mission to secretly search for evidence of al-Shabaab collusion and conspiracy? "
Recently, the "Youth Party" in the royal capital has become famous. Its main members are some middle- and lower-class nobles with excellent magical talents. The City Guard has locked down several core figures, and Hyman Agnes, who had had contact with Wayne, is one of the leaders.
"No, we are here to frame him."
Wayne said openly.
"!" Vera almost thought she heard it wrong, and didn't realize for a moment whether he was joking.
"Lord Bulwer has decided to let His Majesty the King see the results he wants." A smile appeared on Wayne's lips, "At the same time, I also hope to convey this meaning to others."
Although these people's plan to win over Wayne failed, this setback did not stop those ambitious young people. They continued to gather a group of potential nobles to carry out many propaganda activities.
The king had become dissatisfied with the fact that these young people were making appeals in the name of justice, intending to guide public opinion to interfere with the sacred and inviolable power in their hands.
Even before this operation started, enough evidence to go to jail had been prepared for them in advance. Vera only needs to appear in the right place at the right time to get what she wants.
After finally understanding the twists and turns behind her, Vera showed sympathy.
"Don't worry, Lord Bulwer can only lock them up for a few days and teach them a lesson. Eventually they will be raised high and put down gently." Wayne understood the king's instructions very closely. "His Majesty the King is not planning to do anything to these people yet. After all, they are all talented magicians and the future pillars of the kingdom."
For a headstrong man like King George II, he did appreciate talented people, but he only wanted people who could stand on his side.
Even Aikos is no exception.
Wayne sighed silently in his heart. The more he learned about the king, the more he realized that it was not easy for Duke Elliot to deal with His Majesty the King for so many years.
Seeing Ma Qi's figure from a distance, the two people who were talking stopped their voices in time.
"Go, I will support you secretly." Wayne watched Vera walk towards March.
As long as key evidence is found, credit will be given. As long as there is merit, there is reason to reward based on merit.
By taking this opportunity to push March forward, Wayne can find opportunities for him to sneak into more important areas and kill two birds with one stone.
It is not without reason that such an idea arises. Recently, there is news that His Majesty the King plans to set up a separate agency to manage publishing houses. All newspapers and magazines issued must be reviewed by Kingdom officials before they can be published. This is also because the activities of the "Shabaab" people gradually fermented, and finally His Majesty the King found a name to intervene.
The Wincher family has always been very discerning. They established a self-censorship system as early as the founding of Leaf Publishing House, and have never accepted inflammatory submissions. On the surface, they have little impact on their family.
But everything has two sides, and Wayne had to prepare early.
