Even if a guard hurts someone, he can just follow the procedures and be fined and detained. There is no need for Her Majesty the Princess of the Empire to personally come to the Public Security Department to mention the person.
What was even more unexpected was that Ymir not only came in person, but also bailed out the guy named Renn alone.
... .
"Your Royal Highness, Mr. Mitabi, why are you two here?"
August's expression was a bit strange. He had just sent someone to the interrogation room to torture him to extract a confession, but before he could turn around, the real person arrived.
What is the relationship between this kid and Ymir that would make her save the life of the "original law crystal" and come to bail immediately
To say he is a subordinate is too far-fetched; if not, then what
However, looking at the old man in red robe next to Ymir, the young man of the West family was also a little worried.
The "Security Department" used to be an absolutely independent law enforcement agency. Although it has been infiltrated by the five major families in recent years, there are still many senior officials who strictly abide by Master Cavo's customized law enforcement.
For example, the head of the Public Security Department, "Justice" Mitabi Yarnach. His men had actually executed illegal members of the five major families.
... .
Ymir didn't know the plans of the five major families. She could already smell the smell of decay in these guys, which was no different from the old nobles of the Omar Empire who looked like carrion-eating vultures.
If it weren't for the fact that these guys needed to be accommodating to build the city, she wouldn't want to talk to this so-called eldest son of the Winster family at all.
Therefore, this time she did not get involved with the Winster family, but directly invited "Justice" Mitabi.
She said calmly: "Mr. Mitabi, there is a very important friend of mine inside. He has not violated city regulations. I want to bail him out."
The red-robed mage nodded and said: "We have basically investigated what happened. Your guard will be detained for one month and fined 200 contribution points for injuring someone with a weapon in the city. As for that person, Mr. Lane, I have read the file and he has not broken any laws. Naturally, he can leave at any time..."
"Praise for your impartiality and selflessness..."
Ymir nodded.
No matter where they are, the chief justices who are in charge of justice should be respected. This is also respect for the legal system.
This is true even in the Omar Empire.
... .
"She actually came in person..."
Renn was also quite surprised when he saw Ymir appearing in person in the interrogation room.
Moreover, what surprised him even more was that the eldest princess did not bail out his escort, but just took him away.
Ren followed Ymir out of the interrogation room with a confused look on his face, and then said hello to the old man in red robe.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Justice Mitabi."
"Your Highness the Princess is too polite. It's just a normal procedure."
"..."
Although the City of Glory is not a vassal territory of Omar, basic diplomatic etiquette is still required.
After all, she was an imperial eldest princess. Even though she was exiled, Mitabi never looked down upon her and was just as fair as the law.
What's more, this eldest princess is not simple.
... .
The three interrogators who had interrogated Renn before were almost scared to death when they saw "Justice" Mitabi Yarnach arriving in person.
Ren had just given him a lesson in "legal common sense", and now the top leader was directly parachuted in to mention someone. Doesn't this mean that what they had speculated before had become a reality
The three interrogators automatically figured out that this Renn... was indeed the person who came to make an unannounced visit from above!
Mitabi sent Ymir and Ren away. When he saw August, who shouldn't be here, and looked at the three guys who were trembling with fear, he already guessed something.
The chief judge immediately regained his expression as an iron-faced judge and said coldly: "You three come in with me!"
"Yes... sir."
In the interrogation room, the three interrogators looked ashen.
Facing this iron-faced judge, they did not dare to hide anything and told them roughly what happened.
Mitabi was furious when he heard this, "So... because of August's words, you have completely forgotten your responsibilities as a 'law enforcer', and you have completely forgotten the laws and regulations you have learned. ?”
The three people quickly begged for mercy: "Lord Mitabi, we... we did something wrong! Mr. Renn has made us clearly realize our mistake just now, and we will never dare to do it again..."
"???"
Mitabi frowned upon hearing this. I originally thought it was a simple violation of regulations, but why does it sound like there is something more hidden
You didn't torture people to extract confessions, but why did it sound like they were being educated
He had doubts in his mind and said again: "Tell me the interrogation process just now in detail. If there are any omissions, the crime will be increased!"
"yes... "
The three interrogators determined that this incident was an unannounced visit from their superiors. They dared to hide anything and told the entire interrogation process word for word.
How to be taught a lesson throughout the whole process, how to be rubbed to the ground step by step by Ren with legal terms, how to make them stop from the brink.
He said it word for word, as if he had just received a vivid "anti-corruption practice lesson."
... .
Because there is another crime called "attempted crime".
These three guys knew that they would not be able to escape today. Mitabi, the so-called iron-blooded judge, would never choose to settle the matter just because they were members of the system. Instead, he would increase the punishment.
Their only way to survive is to take advantage of the law!
What's more, the real situation is also the same.
They just had the idea of making a mistake, but before they could implement it, they were taught a lesson.
This crime is not too serious.
"you... "
When Mitabi heard this, his expression became more and more weird, "Are you sure... that person just now knows everything about the laws in the city?"
The three of them were extremely sure: "Yes! I can guarantee that Mr. Lane is definitely the most familiar and knowledgeable person I have ever seen about the laws of our Glory City! Except for you, there is probably no one who is more familiar with the laws than him... "
Now, the case is solved.
Mitabi's expression became uncertain, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
He was not angry because of his subordinates' hypocritical self-interest, but was shocked.
Three "law enforcers" specially trained by the city's judicial system were actually given a legal lesson by an outsider, and they were still convinced
Isn't this a slap in the face of their "Public Security Department"
But then he thought about it, and a flash of light flashed in Mitabi's eyes, as if he had guessed something.
"An outsider has thoroughly studied the laws of Glory City, this..."
He murmured in his heart: "The courage of Her Royal Highness Princess Omar is really extraordinary! That Renn is probably a judicial talent specially trained by her, no wonder she would come here in person. To be able to pay so much attention to the city's laws, this vision and The level of the structure is much higher than that of ordinary noble lords... If the city can be successfully built, it will really make people look forward to it... "
Thinking of this, Mittal compared himself to August, the eldest son of the Winster family whom he met at the door before, his face turned livid, and he said coldly: "Those guys from the five major families are really getting more and more unruly. ah"
Master Cavo founded the "Public Security Department" because he wanted to have an absolutely fair court. He even wrote a motto on the boulder at the door - "Justice is the last line of defense for social justice."
When the rights of the rich and powerful are above the law, the "fairness, justice, and freedom" of the Glory City become a joke.
That would make this "free city" chaotic, completely lose its brilliance, and eventually disappear into obscurity.
Mittal is very aware of the powerful relationship between this, and this is also the bottom line he has always adhered to, the final bottom line he has adhered to for himself, Master Kavo, and this city.
When the law is trampled upon by rights, it loses its meaning and becomes nothing more than a fig leaf for the powerful.
This precedent must not be set!
He said expressionlessly: "You three, you will be suspended for one year and fined for three years. Go home and reflect! Notify the 'Law Enforcement Department' to arrest August Winster for interfering with the course of justice and whip him for three years." Ten, three months in prison!”
