James, with a dignified look on his face, looked at the papers on the clipboard in his hand. His subordinates under the long square table stared at him intently, feeling uneasy.
He adapted to the position of director very quickly. After all, he had been the Minister of Agriculture for three years before, so he had some experience, which was nothing more than managing people.
After a long time, James's eyes moved to a woman with a gloomy face next to him. Her scarlet hair drooped down, covering her right eye and most of her face. The red scorpion tattoo on her neck was particularly eye-catching.
"The crime clearance rate of the Third Division this quarter is a bit low. Alia, be careful. You are responsible for various special cases. If you handle them improperly, it will cause big trouble for Hope Island."
Alia's face, which was hidden by her hair, showed a trace of disdain. She crossed her arms and leaned back in the chair. "Director, there is nothing I can do. You know the dangers of our line of work. Many of my people were killed in the previous cult sacrifice cases. I really don't have enough people now."
"If there is no one, then go and recruit more people. There are new people coming to the dock every day."
"Oh, I don't want those kids who have never even touched a gun."
"Bang!" The clipboard in James' hand was thrown on the table. "So what do you want to do? Things have to be solved. Don't try to avoid the problem."
"Of course I won't run away. It's very simple. Give me the key to the prison. I've got my eyes on a few good guys in there."
"Impossible! They are all unforgivable criminals! How could they join the side of justice!" James' voice suddenly became louder.
"Commander, don't forget that I was also rescued from prison by Chief Dipper."
"It is precisely because you are leading the way that the three of you are so unscrupulous in your methods of doing things!"
"Why worry about the process if it's enough to find the person? If the director thinks I'm not doing a good enough job, you can fire me now and send someone else! Lord Dipper is gone! I don't want to stay in this place anymore!"
The quarrel between the two became louder and louder, almost to the point of physical combat.
Other people from other places hurriedly dissuaded Alia, so that things did not get to the worst.
James sat in the empty conference room, his arms folded across his chest, feeling very annoyed.
As the saying goes, like leader, like subordinates. The people brought up by Dipp are like hedgehogs and are really hard to manage.
But it is not possible to remove her. She is the only one who can suppress those messy guys in the three places. If we really need to replace her, we should do it slowly.
But thinking about the rumors about Aaliyah and Dipper in the bureau, James' head started to hurt.
"Dipper is such a great guy. He left me such a big mess." James closed his eyes and rubbed his sore eyebrows with his hands.
Although the matter is difficult, James will always solve it no matter how difficult it is. Since the captain has entrusted this task to him, he cannot let the captain down.
Just as James was about to cheer up and deal with the affairs of the bureau, his assistant pushed open the door and walked in with a document.
"Commander, the Dock Police Department reports that they have captured three fugitives."
"Why are you telling me about such a trivial matter? Just follow the laws issued on the island."
"But the identities of these three people are not ordinary. They are British Isles people used by the Governor to build ships. It is not easy for us to deal with them."
James took off his hat and scratched his hedgehog-like hair with his hand. "Where is the Governor now?"
"He was at the dock this morning, observing the latest progress of the Narwhal."
James reached out and took the file, "I'll go find him."
This matter is of secondary importance to the captain. Besides, James still wants to go out and relax. This is the advantage of being the boss. You can arrange your time as you like.
The car was ready in front of the black-painted police station. As the exhaust fumes came out, James drove towards the dock.
He dared to say that in the whole sea, they hoped that the island would be the safest place.
Sometimes it is really important to get off to a good start. When Charles first created the island, he established the most important laws.
Anyone who dares to break the law will be punished, including him and everyone else.
Some people had some complaints about all this, but no one dared to say anything under Charles' high-pressure environment.
Some people couldn't stand it and went to other islands, but they hoped that there would never be a shortage of people on the island. After all, such good conditions are unique in the entire sea.
But it is precisely because of such strict laws that we have such a peaceful environment.
Just as James was thinking about this, the car suddenly stopped, the side door was opened, and a familiar figure got in.
"Don't just stand there. Move your butt forward." The doctor kicked James' leather shoes with his prosthetic leg.
The doctor had just sat down when he said to the driver without any hesitation, "Take me back to my place, quickly."
The driver looked at James in the rearview mirror with some hesitation. When he saw a confirming look, he started the car again.
"Mr. Lasto, your clothes are very dirty. It's time to wash them." James leaned to the left, and the smell on the doctor's body became a little better.
The doctor put down the iron wine flask beside his mouth and looked at him with contempt. "What? You are my father, and I want you to control me?"
James showed a trace of helplessness on his face. Ever since the doctor came back from the British Isles, his temper has become worse and worse.
"Big man, where are you going?" The doctor raised the wine jug and took another sip.
"Go to the dock to find the captain. I have something to ask him."
"How's the work on the island going? It should be easier than on the boat, right?"
"Actually, I prefer the boat to the island. Mr. Rasto, what are you doing lately?"
"What else can I do? Drink and wait for death. I've already chosen a grave. Don't come to pay tribute to me after I die. I like quietness."
Seeing the confident look of the doctor beside him, James actually held back something to say. "You don't look like someone who is about to die."
The quiet environment in the carriage did not last long before it was broken by James again. "Mr. Rasto, what exactly happened in the British Isles before? There are all kinds of speculations in the newspapers now, but they are just speculations."
"Now there is no way to get in there, and no one knows what happened."
"How should I know? You can ask Charles about this matter. He should know. But when I was treating him, I asked him casually and he didn't seem to want to answer it."
After hearing this, James said nothing more. Since the captain didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask. Anyway, the British Isles are so big that someone would find out the news and pass it on.
"Crunch~" The tires of the car rubbed a black line on the ground. We had arrived at our destination.
