Age of Arcane

Chapter 53 Talking About Money
None of the officials who attended the meeting expected that Inspector Meteor of the Secret Affairs Bureau of Haijiao District would directly turn back without paying any attention to Congressman Vergil's face.

Looking at Congressman Virgil's expression, it's very rich.

"Detective Meteorite..." Councilor Vergil's tone became severe: "Rage City's government affairs department allocates a large amount of special funds every year to subsidize the secret affairs bureaus. The reason is that in matters involving city security, secret affairs bureaus able to help the city.

On this point, the city government affairs department and the secret affairs bureaus have formal agreements and endorsements, and have also been approved by the imperial secret affairs bureau.

Now that the Government Affairs Department has issued a circular entrusting the investigation, the Haijiao District Secret Affairs Bureau has the obligation to fulfill its responsibility with the city subsidy.

Please don't shirk your responsibilities!
When I need the Public Security Bureau to answer inquiries, I will naturally call them, now you need to give us an explanation. "

Senator Virgil continued to attack Luke.

It is not yet known what kind of urban security crisis Pixie Clear Sky will cause.

If the clear sky can be caught in time, it is natural that the city safety committee is well-led.

If the clear sky triggers a catastrophic event, it is necessary to find a back-up man in advance to bear the anger of the powerful.Since Fairy Clear Sky first appeared in Haijiao District, the Haijiao District Secret Affairs Bureau is responsible for not preventing the crisis in time.

Luke whispered to Karina, "Give me the government affairs office's financial statements for last month."

"Yes, Inspector."

Karina quickly found the financial statement from the materials and handed it to Luke.

Luke glanced at the data above, and said loudly: "Member Virgil, I have in my hand the public financial statements of the City Council Office last month.

Among them, the financial appropriation for Haijiao District... Haijiao District Bureau of Secrets received 200 million Reichsmarks, and Haijiao District Public Security Bureau received 2600 million Reichsmarks.

Congressman Virgil, is this the subsidy you mentioned for the City Council to the Cape District Bureau of Secrets?
snort! "

Luke sneered.

It means that if you give less money, don't blame us for not working.

Councilor Virgil slapped the table angrily and shouted: "Detective Meteor, pay attention to your attitude! You are a senior imperial official, not a mercenary who works for money."

Luke said tit for tat: "Mr. Virgil, you were the one who talked about money with me first.

And... I think you need to explain to the officials who are in this meeting.

Why did you ask the Haijiao District Bureau of Secrets to investigate this series of cases in the first place, instead of the Haijiao District Public Security Bureau, which spends 2600 million yuan in the city's monthly finances?
How many imperial agents can 200 million support? How many sheriffs can 2600 million support?

Your Excellency, what is your role in this crisis? "

Luke's counterattack made Virgil turn red.

At the beginning, he asked the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Haijiao District to investigate the theft of the "Heart of the Red Dragon Neil Colon", which was a smooth suppression, so that these spies would know who their God of Wealth was.

After Luke took office, he sent circular letters continuously, largely because he wanted to divert the energy of the Bureau of Secrets and help the Public Security Bureau compete for the interests of the Cape Port Wharf.

Who would have thought that the elf Qingkong would go to Oulu Academy and steal the Book of Calamity!
Now I want to find a blame man, but I am beaten up.

If the explanation is not clear, I am afraid that some people will doubt their relationship with the elf Qingkong.

"Detective Meteorite... 200 million is the subsidy given to you by Raging Waves City, and you also receive the salary and operating funds from the empire..."

"Member Virgil, what does the money sent to us by the empire have to do with you?"

"you!"

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of an Imperial Navy general sitting on the other side of Vergil said: "Vergil, I am very tight on time, please get the meeting back on track as soon as possible."

"Yes, Major General Nelson." Virgil nodded and apologized to the military representative: "I lost my composure about the safety of the city."

Virgil turned to Luke and asked: "The previous matter can be put aside for the time being... The elf Qingkong's theft of the Book of Calamity has risen to a security incident for the empire, and we all want to hear Inspector Meteor's opinion on this incident.

What method does the Haijiao District Bureau of Secrets plan to use to hunt down the elf Qingkong. "

Seeing that Virgil still refused to let him go, Luke said: "The Cape District is the largest urban area in Raging Waves City, with an estimated permanent population of over 70.

And our Secret Intelligence Bureau in Haijiao District has 248 secret agents.

It is definitely not enough for so few people to search and hunt the elf Qingkong in such a large urban area.

I plan to recruit a group of temporary detectives, the number of whom should be more than 3000, and then search the whole city one by one.As long as the elves are in the cape area, they will definitely leave traces. According to the professionalism of our imperial agents, we can definitely find her.

But... the funds of the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau are not enough to recruit this temporary team of detectives, nor can they afford the cost of such intensive investigations.

Therefore, we hope that the city government office can allocate a special fund to us, which is estimated to be..."

Luke glanced at Karina.

Karina calculated the cost in her head as quickly as possible, and wrote it down on a piece of paper: 4000 million Reichsmarks per month.

"4 million Reichsmarks per month."

Kailinna froze for a moment, then checked the zero she wrote.

That's right!
Fugil did not expect that Luke dared to open his mouth to ask for [-] million. This is clearly treating the City Administration Department as a fool and a pig!

"Inspector Meteorite, please be serious. There will indeed be additional expenses for additional manpower to hunt down the elf Qingkong, but it is absolutely impossible to reach 4 million Reichsmarks per month.

And do you think it will take a month to capture Elf Clear Sky? "

Luke replied: "The salary is paid once a month, no matter when you catch the Fairy Clear Sky, you must pay the full amount of the month.

As for other costs...

Shouldn't the owner be compensated for a home search?

Fairy Qingkong is so strong, to capture her requires a death squad, who would risk his life if he didn't give money?
People need pensions when they die.

Those who provide information need to pay a bounty.

In addition, I am going to release a reward of 200 million Reichsmarks for Fairy Clear Sky. The reward of [-] million Reichsmarks offered by the Government Affairs Office for Qingkong is too shabby.

I heard that the head of a giant tree of the Furious Axe Party is worth 5000 gold coupons, which is 2500 million Reichsmarks.

Fairy Qingkong is the strongest person who can snatch Ruihuo's wand from Dean Willed, so the reward of 1 million is not too much. "

When Luke heard that the City Council offered a reward of 200 million Reichsmarks for Clear Sky, he complained for himself.

Too bad!
Even if other things can't be done this time, Qing Kong's worth must be raised.

First set a small goal of [-] million!
But Senator Virgil was so angry that he just wanted to laugh.

Haijiao District Secret Affairs Bureau entered the house to search, and wanted to pay compensation to the owner?
If you want to cheat money, you have to make up a reasonable reason!
