The days of peace continued and everything seemed to be moving towards a bright future.
It was half past six, and Li Lin and Caitlin had just gotten up and were getting ready to go for morning exercise.
Zuo Yin left last night. This girl doesn't like to sleep and always drags me to other places afterwards.
Most of the time, Caitlin would not interfere with them, but Li Lin had promised her last night that he would go to practice fighting skills this morning, so he did not leave with Zuo Yin.
In fact, given their current physical condition, there is no need to do such "meaningless" things.
Just following her good habit, whenever Li Lin was free at home for a while, Caitlin would drag him out to practice fighting.
However, this morning, Caitlyn had just changed into her training tights when she received a call from the Piltover police enforcement officer on duty, requiring her to go for interrogation.
But when she was about to ask for some details, the signal on the other end of the phone suddenly disappeared.
Caitlin looked puzzled. "Strange..."
Li Lin wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and gently rubbed her face. "What's wrong?"
"It was the night shift officer," Caitlin said. "He said there was a criminal who was refusing to cooperate and wanted me to interrogate him, but he wouldn't reveal any further details. Even though I'm the sheriff now and have the right to know about the department's affairs, this isn't in accordance with protocol."
"Maybe it's an emergency?"
Li Lin took back his hand from around her slender waist and patted Caitlin lightly. She rolled her eyes and said, "Stop it."
Then, she pursed her lips and sighed, "Let's cancel our training today. Sorry..."
"What's there to apologize for? Business is more important." Li Lin raised an eyebrow and smiled. "So you need my help? My truth serum is quite effective when you encounter someone who's stubborn."
"I've always felt that your stuff is unethical."
"They're criminals, they don't even respect the law, and you're still talking to them about morality?"
As he spoke, Li Lin slapped Caitlin again in the same place, causing her face to flush red, and she slapped his "dirty hand".
"Stop it, or I'll get mad!" She took a deep breath, calming her pounding heart. She continued, "To be precise, until someone's guilt is proven, they can only be considered suspects. This is your city now. You don't want to be known as someone who confessed under torture, do you?"
"I don't care. There's an Ionian saying, 'If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about the Azakana.' Even if that's a little biased, I think most people will still support me."
Caitlin couldn't argue with him, "Hmph, you're the only one with a bad mouth."
"I'm telling the truth." Li Lin's smile faded and he raised an eyebrow at her. "Since I have nothing to do today, I'll go with you to Piltover Security. It's been a while since I've been there."
"What? Is the leader going to inspect?" Caitlin's clothes had transformed into futuristic armor.
"I wanted to take advantage of someone's rest..."
“…”
Before Li Lin finished speaking, and before Caitlin covered her face with the armor, her childish blue eyes became dangerous.
"Shh—stop pinching my waist!"
…
…
A moment later, the two of them were teleported to Stellar Avenue together and arrived at the security gate of Piltover.
It was still early for work, and there was almost no one on the main road. The Piltover security gate was ajar, and the civilian staff in the duty room at the gate were dozing off.
The person on duty who had just made the call was nowhere to be found. Upon learning that the sheriff had arrived, another law enforcement officer brought the two men to the interrogation room.
On the other side of the one-way glass, a middle-aged man was handcuffed to an interrogation chair. His short gray and black hair was a little messy. His hands, shackled with magic-forbidden stone shackles, covered his lowered face, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
The clothes he was wearing were rather old, like they were made two years ago. His family probably wasn't very wealthy...
Caitlin quickly took a look at the middle-aged man and quickly formed a judgment based on her first impression.
Of course, this kind of overt feeling cannot be counted during the interrogation process, because some criminals are best at disguise.
"What did he do wrong?" Caitlin asked the law enforcement officer beside her without moving her eyes.
"Well..." The law enforcement officer scratched his head and glanced at the man beside the sheriff with some embarrassment. "This is a criminal brought in by Speaker Li's mechanical engineers. The AI hasn't given us any clear information about him."
[This gentleman's information is not registered in the case, but his genetic sequence test matches that of a Black Rose fugitive on the run in Noxus.]
As soon as the police officer finished speaking, the intelligent computer displayed a "personalized" facial projection of itself next to them, whose gender could not be identified, and spoke.
"Are there any similarities? With Li Lin's genetic technology and your computing power, there shouldn't be such uncertainties, right?" Caitlin questioned. The intelligent computer fell silent instantly, and the avatar disappeared.
She frowned slightly and looked at Li Lin with a puzzled look, who was standing aside as if nothing had happened, as if she had noticed something.
"What's going on... Are you trying to use me to test something?" Caitlin pondered. "I remember you've been going to the academy quite a bit lately, researching something with Professor Heimerdinger, Jayce, and Viktor."
"Hey, you're the sheriff now, so you need to provide evidence when you speak! Otherwise, I'll sue you for defamation."
"Hey, you..."
The police officer standing by was timid and lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to speak, pretending that he heard nothing.
His immediate superior was "flirting" with her own man, who was now the Speaker of the entire Piltover and rumored to be the man behind the Twin Cities. He didn't dare to interrupt at this time.
