Chapter 54 Spend money to eliminate disasters
Faced with Luke's sky-high asking price, Virgil said: "Inspector Meteor, the City Government Affairs Department will give you 400 million, can you guarantee to catch Elf Clear Sky?"
"As long as the money is in place and Elf Qingkong is in the Cape District, I can catch her."
At this time, Luke did not have the demeanor of a senior imperial public official at all, but looked like a liar who was ready to get the money and run away.
Of course, it is impossible for Congressman Virgil to give all this money to the Cape District Secret Service just for a gamble.
He also realized that the newly appointed detective of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau was an extremely difficult guy.
No wonder Holt suffered such a big loss at his hands.
This is a gangster!
Virgil didn't want to get involved with Luke any longer, it was too rude.
"Inspector Meteor, you can write a detailed report and submit it to the City Government Affairs Department regarding how to search for Elf Clear Sky in Cape District and the required expenses.
We will allocate funds based on actual circumstances.
You can sit down now."
Virgil was going to do Tai Chi, but Luke was going to do Ba Chi.
"Sir, Congressman... There is a 400 million special fund to hunt down the elf Clear Sky, and a 1 mark earmarked fund has a 1 mark plan to hunt down the elves.
If you don't tell me a detailed earmarked figure, I don't know what to do with this arrest plan! Don't let the money I want not match the money you gave me. If something goes wrong and you ask me to explain it, I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly.
"
Congressman Virgil did not expect that the new detective of the Cape District Secret Service was not only a gangster, but also a scoundrel.
How dare you put on such a serious meeting and act like you are demanding money and won't give up until the money is given.
"Inspector Meteor, regarding the funding... we can talk alone, please sit down.
Do not disrupt the order of the venue."
"Congressman Virgil, I now seriously doubt your position. When the 'Heart of Red Dragon Neil Colon' was stolen, you asked our Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau to handle the case.
Later, they successively sent circular letters asking us to arrest Elf Qingkong. It seemed that they believed that she was hiding in Haijiao District and also understood that it was impossible to catch her according to the existing strength of Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau.
Now I am preparing to mobilize the entire city to hunt down Elf Qingkong. Why are you so anxious to ask me to sit down?
Are you feeling guilty?"
Kylena on the side cleverly found all the circulars sent by the Government Affairs Department to the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau and put them in Luke's hands.
Luke picked up a stack of documents and showed them to the entire meeting.
“These are the original manuscripts sent to me by the City Government Affairs Department, and all of them are signed by Councilor Virgil.
You still need to talk to me alone!
Are you planning to bribe me?"
Luke poured pot after pot on Virgil.
An angry Virgil slapped the table and stood up: "Inspector Meteor, you are slandering an Imperial Lord, a senior Imperial official, and a member of the Raging Waves City Council.
You have to be responsible for what you say.
I will report your rude words and deeds to His Majesty!"
Luke slammed the document in his hand on the table.
"Okay! I will also report these documents to Her Royal Highness the Princess. I will explain in detail the actual situation of the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau and the Haijiao District Public Security Department.
Including the fact that I want to pursue Elf Qingkong with all my strength, but you are maliciously blocking me."
"When did I stop you?"
"If you don't give me money, you will be using your status as a member of parliament, as an official, and as a noble to stop me!"
Virgil was so angry that he almost lost his temper.
"I didn't say I wouldn't give the money, I just need to discuss the use of this special fund with other urban security departments."
"Elven Clear Sky is in the Cape District. If you don't talk to me, who are you going to talk to?"
Virgil asked: "Are you sure Elf Clear Sky is in the Cape area?"
Luke patted the documents on the table: "You said she was in the Cape District!"
The meeting between Luke and Virgil was as loud as a vegetable market. Everyone watched their argument with interest, including Navy Rear Admiral Nelson, who had just reminded Virgil, and seemed to expect who of the two of them would win the argument.
At this time, Virgil just wanted to snatch those files and burn them.
When he sent these circular letters, he really didn't expect that they would become a weapon against him.
Unfortunately, there is no subordinate relationship between the Government Affairs Office of Nutao City and the Secret Intelligence Bureau. Meteor is talking nonsense here, and she has no way to deal with him here.
Virgil quickly took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a few pills and swallowed them into his mouth.
It's too passive and too disrespectful.
Framing is a traditional skill of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau. Unexpectedly, Yue Xing mastered the essence as soon as he took office. If we continue to quarrel, it will only get darker and darker.
It must end as soon as possible!
He is making such a fuss just because he wants money...give him money.
Virgil took a long breath, kept himself from swearing, and said in a calm tone: "Inspector Meteor, although you may be a little rude in your words, your eagerness to arrest criminals is worth learning from all of us.
It is my judgment based on comprehensive intelligence from all aspects that Elf Qingkong is hiding in Haijiao District. Therefore, the Public Security Department and Secret Intelligence Bureau of Haijiao District need to bear more responsibilities.
The City Government Affairs Department will also give you more financial subsidies.
According to the allocation of special funds we have formulated for handling the case, the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau can receive 10 million Reichsmarks to supplement personnel and various expenses needed to hunt down Elf Clear Sky."
10 million Reichsmarks is a huge sum of money for the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau, which can only receive 2 million Reichsmarks per month from the City Government Affairs Office.
Kylena's eyes lit up when she heard this number.
The daily task she least wants to deal with is sorting out accounts, spending money everywhere, and being short of money everywhere.
But for Luke, this money is just like sending a beggar away.
It's too far from the psychological price of this detective.
Luke was still standing there.
Without saying anything, he picked up the documents on the table and flipped through them one by one.
Virgil knew that his offer was low.
"Of course, this is the allocation we made before this meeting started. In view of the huge hunting plan you have formulated, Inspector Meteor, these subsidies are somewhat small.
I think 50 million should be enough to meet your expenses for the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau.
The reward for Elf Clear Sky is uniformly formulated by the City Government Affairs Department."
As soon as the price increased from 10 million to 50 million, Kylena wanted to stand up and agree for the detective.
But she found that her detective was unmoved.
He continued to stand there, flipping through the documents in his hands one by one.
Virgil said with a dark face: "A city-wide manhunt will indeed disturb the people, and they should be given some compensation. This will also help them actively provide us with clues.
I think...another 30 million can be used in the special case handling funds to appease the people.
Inspector Meteor, you should be satisfied."
Virgil spoke with a strong accent.
Luke knew that it was unrealistic to ask for 400 million from the City Government Affairs Department. 50 million + 30 million would be 80 million.
With this money, many things can be done immediately.
Chapter completed!
