Chapter 44 Caitlin's Perseverance

Sheriff Marcos, the number one commander of the Piltover Law Enforcement Division, and Caitlin's respected boss.

"W-what did you say... Sheriff Marcos?" She couldn't believe it.

A young law enforcement officer went astray and became involved in gangs and violence with the Chief Sheriff of Piltover. These are completely two different natures.

Caitlin, who was new to the world, was mentally prepared for the former, but she couldn't accept the latter anyway.

Don't talk about her. Even those Zaun students who had never been afraid to speculate on Piltover's law enforcement officers with the greatest malice, now opened their mouths in disbelief. Their eyes widened one by one, which was an eye-opener.

"Really...really!" Looking at the terrifying air pressure coming from him, the young law enforcement officer simply broke the can and gritted his teeth and said, "It was Chief Marcos who asked me to do this."

"Did he say why?" Levi asked.

"without."

"Then do you know me?"

"do not know..."

"You don't know why I deserve to die, but you have no grievances against me. Just because of the sergeant's instructions, you can kill me without any psychological burden."

"I said..." The air flow quietly accelerated, as cold as the chilling autumn wind: "Isn't this the first time?"

"Wha, what?" The young law enforcement officer broke into a cold sweat.

"Why are you so skilled?"

"How many people have you killed for the police chief before you are like this? When you kill someone, your heartbeat doesn't even speed up and your breathing doesn't get heavier?"

"How many times has something like today happened before? How many people like you are there among law enforcement officers? How many innocent people have died under your guns over the years?"

Li Wei's continuous questioning gave everyone a terrible thought:

Yes...according to the theory of "a thousand cockroaches in a house", when you find one cockroach in your house, there must be more than one nest of cockroaches in your house.

This law enforcement officer was just a newcomer to the industry, but he was able to execute the Sheriff's extrajudicial killing order so skillfully.

What about the other law enforcement officers? They all stood on the dry shore with high-sounding looks. Are they really that clean?

The expressions of the several law enforcement officers present were very exciting. Some were shocked, some were guilty, and some were expressionless.

The pent-up energy in Caitlin's eyes also dissipated unconsciously.

Even though Levi had loosened his restraints in time, she was still lying on the ground blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Miss Caitlin." Levi waved his hand to disperse the noisy air: "Do you still think that Piltover's laws can bring me justice?"

Caitlin was speechless.

"Think about it carefully. Everyone, think about it carefully." Levi finally sighed deeply to Caitlin and the students, and then prepared to leave again.

But just as he walked out of the door, Caitlin staggered up from the ground: "Wait a minute."

"Do you have anything else?"

Caitlin took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Mr. Levi, please stay."

"I believe there is nothing wrong with Piltover's laws, and there is nothing wrong with the fairness and justice I pursue...it's just those bugs who have failed to live up to the word justice! So, please stay and cooperate with my investigation - no matter who is hiding

Behind this incident, I will definitely bring him to justice!"

"Even if you have to face your colleagues?" Levi asked.

"Yeah!" She nodded firmly.

"Including Sheriff Marcos?"

"...Hmm!" Her eyes became more determined.

As she spoke, Caitlin actually took out a pair of handcuffs from her waist... and slapped them on the young law enforcement officer's hands.

"You are under arrest." She said to her colleagues mercilessly: "The people behind you can't escape either."

"Miss Caitlin!" The old police officer leading the team looked helpless: "I beg you... don't, stop fooling around! That's Sheriff Marcos! If that guy wants to leave, just let him go... You just do this

It will cause chaos throughout Pi City and cause trouble to everyone!"

Facing the superior's earnest persuasion, Caitlin remained unmoved.

She just looked at Levi with a sincere face: "Mr. Levi, can you trust me one more time and trust the law and justice of Piltover?"

If it were before, Levi would just laugh speechlessly after hearing such an innocent question.

But the same words spoken by different people have completely different weights.

"Miss Caitlin." Levi did not answer, but asked: "Are you talking to me as the law enforcement officer Caitlin -"

"Are you still promising me as Caitlin Giraman, the legitimate daughter of the Giraman family?"

"Huh? How do you know I am..."

"That's not important. I just want to confirm in what capacity you are speaking. If it's the former, then we don't need to talk."

"..." Caitlin's face turned red.

What she dislikes most is that others label her as a congressman's daughter and ignore her own pursuits and efforts. She just wants to be an ordinary law enforcement officer who does not rely on family power.

But Levi said to her bluntly: "Be frank, Miss Gila Mann."

"If you didn't have a good mother and a good background, just what you just said would be enough to die here with me."

"While enjoying the privileges brought by family background, you are trying to reject its existence...Don't you think you are deceiving yourself?"

Caitlin's face felt as hot as if she had a fever.

Before this, no one had ever dared to speak to her like this. Although everyone may have thought so in their hearts.

"I...I know." She bit her lip tightly and reluctantly promised: "I swear on the honor of the Gila Mann family that I will ensure your safety, Mr. Levi, and find out this matter.

The whole truth!”

"No matter who is committing adultery or breaking the law, I will not let him escape punishment!"

"Miss Caitlin!" The old police officer was still pleading there in a low voice: "Please calm down first...Hey!"

Even Levi asked her in a playful tone: "'The whole truth', 'No matter who it is'... Miss Gila Mann, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Definitely!" Caitlin emphasized: "Even if it is Sheriff Marcos who commits the crime, I will not give in!"

"What if it's not just Sheriff Marcos? What if there is some more important big shot involved?"

"what do you mean?"

"Nothing, I just asked casually." Levi asked casually.

He did not understand the conflict of interests between Marcos and the Iron Fist Gang.

But according to the history he has learned, whether it is the history of Earth or the history of Runeterra...

In an "ancient dynasty" like Piltover that has lasted for 300 years, once you start to investigate some things, you will often find out not one person, but a network.

People are connected to people, networks are connected to networks, forces are intertwined, and their tentacles spread in all directions.

They are not rotten dead meat.

They are probably the blood vessels and meridians of this ancient city, full of vitality and endless vitality.

Finding out the whole truth... is easier said than done.

A stupid young person like Caitlin is worthy of admiration, but...

"I'm afraid you can't change anything." Levi murmured.

"What did you say?" Caitlin didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing..." People who have the ability to do good things and are willing to do good things are always good.

If you kill a cockroach, you will lose one, and if you dig out a piece of carrion, you will lose a piece. There must be a positive meaning. It is better than doing nothing.

There is no need for him to put on a decadent look that has seen through the harshness of the world and make sarcastic remarks to a passionate young man like Caitlin.

Besides making sarcastic remarks, Li Wei also had some great truths to say.

But with Caitlin's class background...he really didn't dare to tell Caitlin these things rashly and let her know what he wanted to do.

Moreover, there are some truths that are useless to say verbally.

She has to experience it herself.

"So, Miss Caitlin." Levi firmly held Caitlin's extended hand: "Since you want to clean up this city, then I will accompany you to see -"
