"Chief!"

Unica quickly stopped the chief, whose eyes were gleaming, and whispered.

"Think about it, think about it again."

Lette also wore a smile: "No, no, no, Emily probably won’t be able to handle the position of Chief Detective. It’s better to let truly talented people take on the role.

I sought this detective position for our Emily to ensure my future business in Harbor City can be stable and lasting.

After all, as you know, if we have any official position in the Harbor City Police Station, those odd people wouldn’t dare to mess around in my shop.

Hope the chief, can understand."

"Understand! Absolutely understand! Sir Wright’s requests are always so reasonable and considerate!

To be honest, our Harbor Police Station has been overworked recently and has expanded our personnel.

But the funding, it hasn’t been approved yet.

Don’t laugh, a part of the bounty money on those wanted posters has already been used up.

I just hope that in the end, it’s our officers who successfully solve the case, otherwise, we won’t even be able to pay the bounty."

"Harbor Police Station works wholeheartedly for the people. How could I let the officers bleed, sweat, and cry?"

Lette directly took out a Magic Crystal Card: "There are about twenty to thirty thousand Gold Coins in here, consider it my donation to the Harbor City Police Station.

As for the detective position... I think Officer Unica would be quite suitable.

Why not let the two of them be promoted to detective together and collaborate on the investigation?"

"Good! Sure! We’ll do exactly as you said!"

In an instant, the chief was captivated by the Magic Crystal Card.

This thing, even if it didn’t have a penny in it, just the card itself would sell for around ten thousand Gold Coins!

After all, it’s the craftsmanship of the old Tower of Truth. After the Truth’s downfall, new cards can’t be made anymore; they all rely on old cards for mutual use.

Even so, no new substitute has appeared, showing how clever the design of this thing is.

A Magic Crystal Card is the most common status distinction between nobles and upstarts, an entry token into some high society circles.

Not to mention, the station is already deep in financial deficit.

These twenty to thirty thousand Gold Coins are literally lifesaving money.

If it weren’t for his former subordinate Unica standing here, he might have had to kneel and thank Lette.

Unica was somewhat resistant to this kind of thing; she hoped to become a detective through her efforts.

But after seeing the Chief’s warning and almost pleading gaze, her heart softened, and she kept silent.

She was somewhat aware of the agency’s difficulties.

Everyone has to put food on their tables, and the economy in Harbor City is bleak. Not every detective can hold on just for ideals and beliefs like her.

Moreover, they were asking her to be a detective, not to serve time in prison.

It was such a good opportunity; she had no reason to refuse.

What was originally a misunderstanding was perfectly resolved by Lette’s ability to throw money at problems.

The chief publicly announced Emily and Unica’s appointments, and surprisingly, there was no opposition or astonishment within the station, only excitement.

Simply because Unica’s skills were notoriously reliable, and many believed she should have been promoted to detective long ago.

As for Emily, as a Great Mage, she valiantly battled man-eating crocodiles to protect the residents of Harbor City, making her the city’s newfound Hero!

Her willingness to help at the station had everyone thrilled.

After experiencing brief surprises and congratulations, the police station returned to its usual busy state.

Lette, with Emily and Lilith, temporarily left the station and came to a viewpoint on the street.

The fog hadn’t completely dissipated, and standing there, the sea still appeared misty and hazy.

"Lette, thank you for getting me out of that situation."

"Are you sure that Unica is the Witch?"

"Yes! I’m a hundred percent sure."

"And she..."

"Hmm, according to my judgment, she hasn’t awakened yet and is completely unaware of the Witch matters."

Lette nodded slightly: "I arranged for you to join the station and partner with her on the investigations. You need to seize this opportunity to get closer to her.

At the same time, probe a bit about what her Witch Power might be.

Also, whether Harbor City’s abnormalities have anything to do with her."

Lilith looked at Lette: "Why, do you think that the Lie causing trouble here might be related to her?"

"We can’t rule out the possibility. After all, out of all the harbor cities in the First Empire, why choose this one?

Is it just because it’s the closest to Dragon Island?

I’ve investigated, and this supposed proximity to Dragon Island is only about a hundred meters closer than another harbor.

Would they choose this harbor for those ninety or so meters? With Harbor City coincidentally having a Witch?

There are only seven in the world, and we’ve already found four.

One of the remaining three is here?

I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to believe there’s no connection at all."

Lilith also nodded slightly: "Indeed, after all, remnants from the old Truth tower did cooperate with The Liar Demon.

And The Liar Demon knows the inspiration for Witch Power’s design came from Dragon Island...

We can’t afford to be careless."

Emily nodded repeatedly: "Don’t worry, I will definitely take this chance to thoroughly investigate Unica’s background!"

Lette had a peculiar expression, finally sighing: "I’m just afraid you’ll end up being thoroughly investigated by her.

That young lady is the station’s key trained individual, both brave and witty, and appears to be several times smarter than you.

You... keep an eye out."

"Are we suggesting there’s a chance?"

Emily wasn’t pleased: "I’m actually very smart; it’s just when I’m with the two of you, I seem a bit stupid!

And seriously, very few people can seem smarter when they’re with you two!

Although Unica is smart and capable, to be honest, she’s at most on par with Flander.

I can still handle it well."

Lilith pondered for a moment: "Well, there’s some truth to that."

"Alright, you guys don’t need to worry about me! I’ll not only sweep away the weirdness of Harbor City, but also take this opportunity to pull Unica into our ranks!

Lette! Lilith! Just wait for my good news!"

After speaking, Emily turned and headed back toward the police station.

Watching her departure, Lilith looked at Lette.

"So, letting her join the station as a detective was to..."

"Fish."

"I knew it."

"There’s definitely a problem within the station. I reflected on the fog serial killer case and found a glaring issue."

"What issue?"

"Too fast. From the crime occurrence to the file organization, it was too fast. Regardless of whether it was the autopsy report, background checks, or file archiving...

We’ve been there twice, and you see them running around like headless chickens, so flustered by a few abnormal incidents.

Yet, the victim data of the fog killer was organized quickly, comprehensively, and neatly.

Isn’t that suspicious?"

Lette pointed at the police station: "Now, I sent Emily in to stir the waters further.

I want to see if this killer will dare to act recklessly as the ritual time is about to run out.

The Flesh God Sect can be taken lightly for now, because soon he’ll be facing me, now that I’m free."
