Chapter 20 01.0020: "This is law enforcement! Listen to the Imperial Law Department!"

Horatio casually picked up the knife and cut the steak, eagerly poking the meat with the tip of the knife and putting it towards his mouth, completely ignoring Farida's dining etiquette.

With a worried look on her face, Farida dialed the communication code using the communication device.

[+Hello, Miss Hood. I am George Davis, the Sheriff's Inquisitor. +] A middle-aged man's voice came from the output device, speaking urgently.

Farida looked at Horatio, who was eating heartily without paying attention to his eating manners, and raised her eyebrows, as if to say, "Pay attention to your eating manners."

Horatio chewed the rich Grox meat with big mouthfuls and shrugged his shoulders, using body language to express: 'You can't expect a man who has been hungry for so long to chew his food slowly and decently like a gentleman.'

[Hmm! The meat of Groxmon, who is supposed to be very fierce, is really delicious. It tastes like beef with the texture of pork. It is not fishy or smelly. It is fresh and delicious. The aroma of burnt food is overflowing. Woohoo, it is really delicious. I thought that the first meal after coming to this shitty world would be corpse starch prison rice.]
Farida glanced at Horatio, who was sighing as he ate, and then said in a crisp voice, "Hello, Attorney. What can I do for you so late at night?"

"Coordinates P15.308.712, a hostage situation has occurred. We are heading to the scene and need you to bring high-precision sniper equipment for support! Please hurry!"

Normally there will be no missions at night, unless it is a particularly urgent special mission that requires the support of high-precision and cutting-edge equipment, then the most outstanding hunting vigilantes will be contacted for on-site support.

"..." Farida did not respond immediately. After a long while, she opened her lips slightly.

"I understand, prosecutor. I will arrive at the scene shortly."

"Thank you very much! The situation is very urgent, please rush to the scene immediately!" The other party still did not forget to emphasize the urgency of the situation.

Farida hung up the call sadly.

What should I do...If I go, it might be a trap and I will be caught in it.

If they don't go, the next day the entire middle and upper class circles will know the stigma of "the Hood family is afraid of death and is passive in fulfilling their promised obligations", which is tantamount to social death.

She could not tarnish the legendary reputation of the Hood family that her father, brothers and elders had worked so hard to build, otherwise she would not be able to face her relatives for the rest of her life.

If we bring guards with us, according to the situation during the day, unless we send a company of guards, the more people there are, the harder it will be to escape if we get into trouble.

"You want to go to the scene? Take me with you."

Without waiting for Farida to figure out what to do, Horatio stabbed the chicken with a knife and directly proposed a solution.

"you sure?"

Farida was quite hesitant as she watched Horatio enjoying his meal, from meat to ice cream and juice.

The young man's fighting skills were unquestionable, not to mention his extraordinary strength.

"Of course, the host has gone out. As a guest, why am I still lingering here?"

Horatio stuffed his mouth full of the remaining food and drank the juice in one gulp.

"Besides, this is probably a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. We have their secret letter, and they will never let us go.

If you are caught, I will be in trouble. They will not let me go, and your father will not let me go either. It is better to attack together than to be defeated one by one."

Seeing that Farida was still hesitating, Horatio gave her a shot of cardiac stimulant.

"We are now in the same boat and we have to solve this problem together."

"Thank you, but before I go, I need to call someone."

"No problem," Horatio nodded, standing up and starting to warm up.

"Teacher, it's me, Hood. I received a mission saying that there was a hostage kidnapping at coordinates P15.308.712, right?"

"Kidnapping...?"

There was silence on the other end of the line. "A security inspector did report a case at the location, but he did not call our arbitrator to seal off the scene. So, did he ask you to go over for support?"

"Yes, mentor."

"Really? Why don't these guys follow the rules? Are you on the way? I will immediately mobilize the bailiffs to rush to the scene."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, instructor!"

"See you there."

Communications ceased abruptly.

"Hey, we have reinforcements?"

Horatio wore the Ministry of Justice bulletproof armor that had been wiped clean by the maid, and the originally depressing atmosphere finally eased a little.

"After we get there, we have to buy time. It will take a long time for the marshals to mobilize, and there are many administrative approval procedures to go through, such as arrest warrants, search warrants, extreme force permits, etc." "Will we really not wait until they get there before the opportunity is gone?"

[WDNMD, this is the legendary 40K efficiency?!]
Horatio didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

"Even if we really solve the problem, my mentor will definitely catch you."

"What should I do?"

"You must exercise restraint at that time and do not cause any casualties. If you are really a member of Captain Cochrane's family, I have a way to get you out."

"Instead of worrying about me killing the Ministry of Justice bailiffs, you should first think about how I can avoid being shot to death by the bailiffs!"

Horatio wanted to cry but had no tears. How could this girl not know the difference between the primary and the secondary? Do I have the ability to do this?

I'm not Superman. I won't fall to the ground if I get shot!
"I will try my best to persuade my mentor. You must shout 'I plead guilty!' faster than he pulls the trigger, then immediately lie on the ground and let him handcuff you obediently. Don't resist. As long as the judicial process begins, the bailiffs will not shoot."

"..."

[Excuse me? What the hell are you talking about legal procedures? ? ? ]
Horatio remembered the rules of the Ministry of Justice in this world. In order to avoid the legal process, many bailiffs would die first and then conduct the trial.

Once someone shouts "guilty", the Ministry of Justice bailiffs will be forced to enter the judicial process and cannot shoot directly.

The law enforcement cameras recorded it.

"Okay, I hope everyone will be happy as you said." The buttons of the Ministry of Justice's bulletproof armor were fastened tightly.

The butler walked slowly in the long corridor, wiping each vase carefully.

When he walked to the defense control room, his brows furrowed slightly.

Although it looked normal, the pile of the carpet in front of the door was slightly skewed, and the size of the print looked like a smaller footprint.

If it were any other place, the butler wouldn't care about these things, but only he, the young lady and the master had the right to enter the defense control room of the mansion.

The butler opened the door through the iris lock.

It was pitch black inside, and the faint blue fluorescence that should have been there disappeared completely.

[Why did the young lady cut off the power?] The housekeeper narrowed his eyes and pondered.

Could it be that she... brought back her personal friend of the opposite sex?

No, there is no reason for the lady to bring it home. With her status and financial resources, she can stay in the most upscale hotel on the planet.

The butler's eyes suddenly widened and he hurried to the master's study.

At this time, Farida was wearing the second set of light power armor and walking in front with a black sniper rifle as big as an anti-material rifle. Horatio was wearing a helmet and pretending to be a police officer from the Ministry of Justice and following behind her.

Suddenly, the Huntress heard hurried footsteps coming from the front.

She stopped at the corner of the stairs, leaned forward slightly, and looked in the direction of the sound, her bright almond-shaped eyes widened.

[Butler? Why is he in such a hurry to go to the study?!]
The huntress, who was originally full of energy, seemed a little panicked. Horatio walked behind her, patted her shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing... Hurry, get out now."

Horatio took advantage of the fact that there were no guards watching the shuttle and found an opportunity to tiptoe into the shuttle bay.

The huntress kept an eye on the butler for him, and after he left, she set off again.

"Miss, where are you going so late at night?" Lina, her personal maid who met her after sending the sample, asked anxiously in a low voice.

"I'm on a mission, so I might be back a little late. If..."

She put on a high-end tactical helmet that was as black as ink and whispered, "If I don't come back tomorrow, please pass this coordinate to my father."

She wrote down the coordinates on the touch screen on her arm, and with a swipe, sent them to the message receiver installed on Lina's body.

Needless to say, Lina knew that her young lady's urgent mission was not an easy one.

The maid straightened up, took a deep breath, moved her chest slightly, and said solemnly:

"Miss, take good care of yourself and make sure you return safely and gloriously."

"Thank you, of course."

Farida nodded slightly, raised her gun, and strode towards the corridor door leading to the parking platform.
