Chapter 409: Benefits of Being a Detective
Marisa stood frozen in place.
She had always thought Luo Sheng was just someone with connections, but she didn’t expect him to be hiding his true strength.
Gold-level strength was just enough to meet the standard, though it was a bit low, it still met the qualification for a detective.
“Alright, I take back what I said earlier,” Marisa said enthusiastically. “This application form will be very helpful for you. If you have someone assisting you, you can apply for them to become an informant. This is almost our standard procedure.
You’ll understand the rest once you familiarize yourself with it. If you have any questions later, you can come find me.”
After saying this, Marisa turned and left with a glance back.
Luo Sheng could sense that Marisa’s level was only silver 7-star. Although impressive, it wasn’t as strong as he had imagined.
Luo Sheng returned to his own office.
The office was relatively small, in a semi-open format, with patrol officers as colleagues around him.
Luo Sheng examined the employment manual.
As a detective, he held a level 4 position, with level 1, 2, and 3 patrol officers under him. For investigations, he could utilize level 1 and 2 patrol officers. Level 3 patrol officers were mainly responsible for patrolling specific areas.
They were the heads of small districts.
Unless they requested it, detectives generally couldn’t use this type of police force.
They were the main force in maintaining security in a certain area.
Above detectives were superintendents and inspectors, who were also responsible for certain areas. Of course, if promoted to police chief, one would manage the security of Yuncheng.
Luo Sheng looked at his own tasks.
Besides investigating cases.
The most important thing was to respond to calls. In case of major incidents, they must support the front line.
For example, when arresting Dongli Wutian previously, when platinum-level battles occurred, they had to go out with the patrol officers and maintain constant contact with superiors, ready to call for backup at any time.
It seemed very dangerous.
In reality, the daily workload wasn’t actually that heavy.
After all, battles didn’t occur frequently in the city. Except for desperate criminals, no one dared to jeopardize their future.
So these kinds of incidents were rare, and the main work was still handling daily paperwork.
Moreover, most incidents were handled by level 1 and 2 patrol officers.
For example, crackdowns on prostitution and other illegal activities were usually led by level 3 patrol officers, leading level 1 and 2 patrol officers.
Only if they couldn’t handle it would they remotely summon detectives to participate.
Luo Sheng looked at the employment manual and sighed, “So my daily work here is just to be summoned by people? How have I become like a card?”
After complaining for a while.
He looked at the benefits of being a detective in the employment manual.
He could recruit an auxiliary police officer as his secretary to help handle daily paperwork.
Because level 1 and 2 patrol officers could only be used when incidents occurred, they wouldn’t help with the detective’s daily paperwork, let alone menial tasks like serving tea.
This is where an auxiliary police officer was needed, which was one of the benefits of the Security Bureau.
Their role was simply to assist the detective.
“This is too luxurious, I thought the Security Bureau was a trap, but I didn’t expect such benefits,” Luo Sheng praised the goddess.
It felt like medieval knights who would bring several servants when going to war, helping with daily life and putting on armor.
It made going to war seem like child’s play.
Moreover, the treatment of auxiliary police was quite good, equal to that of level 1 patrol officers.
That meant a monthly salary of 1 card coin, plus insurance and housing fund, and even housing allocation.
“The position of auxiliary police is very important.” Luo Sheng didn’t plan to let just anyone in.
Xu Yourong wouldn’t do.
She needed to be active outside to gather a large amount of intelligence. It would be a waste of talent to simply help here.
Xu Xiaoqin was even less suitable. She needed to focus on improving her own level. If she couldn’t reach gold level within two years, she would likely be advised to leave the Card University.
Besides, she needed to assist Xu Yourong.
With her lazy personality, if she became an auxiliary police officer, who knows who she would actually be assisting?
Luo Sheng stopped thinking about these and put the auxiliary police position aside for now.
Then he looked at the next benefit.
Developing informant services, which was basically obtaining legal rights for people serving him outside.
If they provided intelligence, they could directly apply for the Security Bureau’s informant reward, with compensation ranging from 1 million yuan to 100 card coins, depending on the value of the information.
Of course, the most important thing was that after becoming an informant, they could receive a monthly salary of 500,000 yuan and insurance.
In case of accidental death, they would receive compensation of 10 card coins.
Although these benefits were like mosquito meat to Luo Sheng, money was money no matter how little.
Luo Sheng unhesitatingly filled in Xu Yourong and Xu Xiaoqin.
He just didn’t know if it would be approved.
Knock knock…
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the semi-open office.
Luo Sheng looked up and saw a very young-looking police officer with slightly curly hair and an unshaven beard on his chin. Although he looked unkempt, he was quite handsome.
He said to Luo Sheng, “You’re the new detective, right?”
“Yes, I just started today,” Luo Sheng casually replied.
“Gold 1-star, not bad. I heard them say you got in through connections, but now that I see you, although you have connections, you still have strength,” the man continued.
Luo Sheng didn’t say anything, not sure if this person was here to look down on him or to make friends.
At this point, the man extended his hand and said, “Welcome to the Security Bureau. I’m Lin Meiyong, your colleague from the next office.”
Luo Sheng felt the name was a bit strange.
But he still shook hands with him, “I’m Luo Sheng, please guide me in the future.”
“No problem, I’m very friendly. If you need anything, you can come to me.”
After saying this, he left.
Luo Sheng sensed his strength was around gold 4-star, not as impressive as imagined, but still passable.
Detectives were also divided into two categories: elite detectives and ordinary detectives.
Elite detectives had better benefits, but of course, the requirements were much higher.
For example, they needed to have more than 3 years of work experience, or have handled several major cases, and their level must be gold 6-star or above.
Luo Sheng filled out the informant form and submitted it himself.
Indeed, it was inconvenient without an auxiliary police officer.
Luo Sheng returned to his seat and looked at the roster again, the list of patrol officers he could utilize were all public patrol officers, meaning their areas of responsibility were very broad.
They were all for temporary use.
The matters handled by the Security Bureau were basically all related to Card Masters.
As for the trivial matters of ordinary citizens, they were not under their jurisdiction, but were handled by other administrative departments.
Therefore, patrol officers were mainly temporarily deployed to arrest criminal Card Masters.
As for real major cases, such as collusion between family clans, consortiums, and Evil Card Masters, or human trafficking, these were handled by elite detectives who had their own original team.
They didn’t need public patrol officers.
“I thought I would be busy every day, but I didn’t expect it to be so leisurely.”
While sighing, Luo Sheng wrote on a case form: “The Soul Ferryman organization has appeared in Yuncheng’s black market, specializing in imprisoning Card Masters’ souls, copying them into cards, and then selling them to clubs, Evil Card Masters, and family clans.”
He got up again to submit the form.
After making himself a cup of tea, Luo Sheng sat in his chair and zoned out.
About an hour later.
Marisa came over and handed him the informant application form: “Both of your informant applications have been approved, especially Xu Yourong. You reported her level as gold 1-star, so the higher-ups decided to give her benefits according to level 2 patrol officer treatment. Xu Xiaoqin also gets level 1 patrol officer treatment.”
“Huh? Why has the treatment increased so much?”
“Because their levels are high, one gold and one silver… According to the regulations, if the informant’s level is high, the benefits will be increased accordingly to show sincerity,” Marisa explained.
“Okay, thank you.”
Luo Sheng didn’t expect the Security Bureau to be so humane.
“You’re welcome. If they came to work at the Security Bureau, their treatment would probably be quite good.”
“They’re not used to the life here.”
“Alright.” Marisa nodded.
Then she added, “By the way, you have an open position for an auxiliary police officer. If you’ve decided, you can fill it out. However, my suggestion is to find someone with good abilities, silver or bronze level, so they can help when you go out on missions.”
