The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Return (5)

The sheriff sits across the hall from the table and asks about winter's business.

“Is there anything you want to check with me? ”

“Yeah, but I'm not really talking about it here. Let's eat up and walk for a while. I'm going to digest it. ”

I had to be careful what I heard. It could have been sensitive. There should now be no language barriers in the refugee area. The same was true of those who had fled from Korea since the beginning of the outbreak. It was a matter of survival for both men and women.

Kathleen had a rough idea anyway. So she accepted and bit the rest of the cake. It was so crispy that I could feel the texture. Brown sugar syrup flows out like caramel. The sheriff licked his lips and ate the filth deliciously. Natural Smile Dum. This was also an unprecedented daily routine. Over all the endings so far.

In the middle of a small talk, a piece of the winter bread came out.

The sheriff worries lightly.

“You didn't seem to have time to eat anything just now, would you like to eat with that? ”

“I roughly hit him on the way here. It was recommended by a lot of people. ”

In other words, it was like the experience of a president visiting a traditional market.

“Aha.”

Clear your worries and have fun, Kathleen.

“Well, everyone cares about you and respects you. You've always wanted to show me. How this place has changed. How much more can I live like a human being? It was possible because you were there. ”

“Not yet. We need to get better. Well, this is delicious. ”

Winter was small but satisfied with the moist warmth and sweet flavors. Smells of nuts in my mouth. The sheriff covers his mouth and snorts. You said you would. On the other hand, it was a feeling of pride somewhere.

What happened on the table was because the owner and the owner drank the privilege of Sikhee. The sheriff was bored with a strange liquid with crumbling rice grains, but the winter was also delicious.

‘It's still a little strange...' ’

Surprisingly, this is my first time eating it. It's not an easy drink to get. Since North America is the most advantageous land for the end, all winter beginnings have never left the United States.

After all, I had the opportunity to taste it in Lobby.

“Then shall we find a quiet place? ”

At the end of winter, the sheriff set a course.

“There is still a construction area nearby. No one will have access except on patrol at this hour. Just one checkpoint to go. ”

“Wouldn't that be dangerous? ”

It was a question of whether there might be a class that was out of control.

“Don't worry. I can't say the base's security is excellent, but... even the most cluttered abominations have some basic order. But……. ”

“But?”

“That's odd to say. The Commander is still armed. ”

The joke was, "If there are any weirdos, they're more dangerous that way." It was easy to recognize the young playfulness on the sheriff's face, even under the wide clearances.

Winter passes through the checkpoint and the sheriff sits on one side of the building as a chair. Before having a full conversation, Winter sent a short text to some people with four warrior terminals. He asked me to understand even if I was invisible for a while.

The sheriff asks as soon as the liquid crystal clears.

“So, what can I tell you? ”

“Anything you'd like me to know as your base commander. ”

“Well……. If you are handed over to Commander Laplin... ”

“What I want is things that he couldn't have seen...... and things that he would have ignored. You know what I'm talking about. Tell me exactly how you feel as a field practitioner. ”

It wasn't the sheriff who didn't know what the winter implied. How long have you been active in a refugee area? Even in the long winter, Raflin expressed his reluctance to a particular group of refugees without hesitation. Kathleen confesses her reluctance.

“You'll be disappointed, but I'm not proud of that either. I was angry that I didn't have to... and discriminated that I shouldn't have. In retrospect, there were many times when the disposition seemed appropriate. Even if I didn't want to, there was a San who looked at the Chinese like they were preliminaries. You can imagine a lot of different things from this. ”

“At least you're reflecting on it. ”

“Aren't you just looking too good at me? ”

“Why not? You're the sheriff trying to take on a squadron of civilians. ”

One sense of responsibility is trustworthy. Hearing the Winter's assessment, Kathleen reveals shady difficulties.

“And then you hurt the wrong guy. ”

“It was inevitable. If we go back to that situation, can we make a different decision? ”

“…… No. ”

“Don't mind me saying it. Strange things are gonna get filtered out. ”

Later, the sheriff, who was under a lot of thought, chose his words very carefully. I opened my mouth, but when I closed it quietly, it was wrong. Winter understood her position. Your own reflexes can be close to condemnation. But what was asked was widespread whistleblowing.

‘You'll look down on your boss and colleagues. ’

On the other hand, there was some anxiety about not wanting to be harmed by the current conversation. It's a natural reaction. The enhanced "Detection" easily pierced the emotion you wanted to hide and supported winter's conjecture. This was used to increase confidence in people's literacy throughout their lives.

“I'll start with this. The number of rounds in a typical crime

The sheriff, who had just started swallowing, frowned slightly and asked for understanding.

“Hmmm, please understand if there's not a bit of a line in the story. ”

“It's not a pre-prepared report. ”

“Thank you. Then……. The typical number of rounds of crime tends to be actually higher in probable groups than in groups that are not. The target was black before the plague spread. Well, it's still the same now.... ”

Winter guessed what she was trying to convey, but she was still listening to the atmosphere.

“But it's an illusion. Drugs, for example, buy and sell similarly to any race. Rather than just the proportion of searches that led to arrest……… there were areas where whites were higher than colored people. which is not a big difference. That is……. ”

“That is?”

“Black people had a higher crime rate just because they were more suspicious. I have a lot of catching up to do... Even without sin, it looks suspicious. because I'm already suspicious. ”

“Of course.”

“Yes, if you have low hands, it looks like you're pulling out your weapon, and if your pockets are blunt, it's drugs. Even when I saw it on my pants…… the big one was buzzing…… I sometimes mistook it for a concealed gun. ”

“Is this your experience? ”

“… have the right to remain silent. ”

“Do you usually get that wrong? ”

The sheriff was very grumpy when he asked me to ventilate the atmosphere.

“I didn't have a situation then either. It was the first time I've ever been out in a firefight. He was very nervous. And we didn't even get a good look at the unsub. He was scared, he was behaving abnormally, he was close, he was blinded somehow."

“And you were black again? ”

“Yes……. ”

Kathleen sighs. I recall that moment with a sense of ambition. He yelled at me to drop my weapon and said there was nothing there, so I pointed to my chin and told him to pull it out slowly. And he asked me if I really needed to take it out again. It's a mess in many ways.

“You weren't scared enough to feel weird. ”

“After that, I personally met her and apologized... after the case was over. ”

“Did he take it?”

“It wasn't a good experience, but I heard it was okay to be proud of you as a man. You said you had something to boast about at the bar for the rest of your life. ”

Eventually, the winter burst out an unpretentious smile. Kathleen lets out a little wink.

“Back to business. I think the Chinese in this refugee zone are somewhat similar. ”

“To what degree? Does that mean you're not sure? ”

“Yes, because several indicators are significantly higher. Well, to put it simply, it's clear that the Chinese have a higher crime rate than any other district. even given the intensity and frequency of the crackdown. ”

“I understand.”

“But there's one thing I can't deny. ”

The sheriff raised his finger in the sense of emphasis.

“In the meantime, the majority of Chinese accusations committed by Standing (32626;) have been an obstruction of public administration. for not cooperating with, or aggressively responding to, inspection and search requests. ”

“Indeed.”

“There is a significant proportion that leads to incarceration by being dragged that way. even if there were no other charges. Just by claiming that the officer felt threatened by the Administrative Police Department, hostilities towards the police are building. ”

“Kathleen, do you think the first line officers did it on purpose? ”

“…… that's not it. ”

“And?”

“There may be people who deliberately discriminate against the Chinese. But when I patrol Chinese stationery, my skin tends to tingle. Feeling threatened by the police is real. It's just a mistake to feel skeptical...... The gaze is so obvious. Their own grumbling that they don't know what it means makes them nervous. ”

“It's a vicious cycle, over-reacting by feeling threatened by bad feelings, over-reacting by bad feelings. ”

“Yes, it's true. ”

The sheriff sincerely agreed with the words of winter.

“It's really, really hard to tell who started it first. ”

“Whatever it takes. It's rare for either side to be 100% innocent. ”

“... Even so, our side will be heavier if we take responsibility. No, it's definitely heavy. But we have power and power, and they're relative weaknesses. Ten hits, nine hits, sometimes 10 hits. ”

“Make an impression. That's good enough to admit. ”

It's not empty. The head follows the chest. The opposing Pokémon has a broken arm that hurts even if I have a broken arm and a rotated neck. Others were always on the other side of the sensory barrier. Empathy is always the ability to kill yourself. Therefore, the balance of the sheriff's degree was quite rare.

“Ha……. ”

The sheriff looks up at the starry sky.

“In order to secure security in any city, any slum, any territory, you must first restore your trust in public power. But you can't do that here. The emotional cortex is so deep that it's irreversible. ”

“But I think I have a chance. ”

Winter made me smile.

“The story I've heard has been quite helpful. I know what to do next. ”

“But I have a proposition... I have a suggestion... ”

I think you've already thought about it. Winter confirmed her swallowed hindsight.

“First of all, let's say thank you for being a bad cop. Well done."

The sheriff shakes his head slowly, wrapped around his forehead.

“Oops.”

Even though the good cop and the bad cop are pretty consistent, the effects themselves have been proven for a long time. It depends on the competence of the practitioner.

‘If you release it to your senses, there will be side effects.... ’

Failure to properly tighten the Chinese Penitentiary could be even more lawless than it is today.

Kathleen adds,

“I'm saying this out of anger, but I need to relieve the relative deprivation. Especially the problem of the treatment of the reinforcements...... Even Geoffrey said he didn't want them when he set up his army. ”

A name I've heard for a long time. But the fishery was subtle. Winter and platoon members called out their names, but no matter how close they got.

“Jeffrey? You call Lieutenant Brown pretty familiar? ”

“I'm Captain Brown now. A major commander with zero warfare confirmed. And we've been together... … for half a year now. ”

“Wow."

Winter brings back memories of the night spent at Salinas Dam. Geoffrey said it himself. I would have proposed if I didn't think about it. He was quite serious, I guess.

“Should I say congratulations? ”

“Well, it's been a long-distance relationship. The fun was brief, but long. It's been three months since I was sent to the front line, but I don't know when I'll be back. ”

The bitterly smiling sheriff returns to his original stream.

“Anyway, I heard that the troops from the Chinese depot have not wanted any commanders since the nuclear explosion. You don't know when he'll betray you? Commander Capston was the only one who said he would be joining his regiment... but I understand that Commander Laplin has been kind enough to approve your request. I understand that you've handled troops that you don't even have at the command level. You have a placenta with reinforcements that doesn't even have a rank. ”

Kathleen made a promising observation, adding that she was quite ignored by the police.

“If you let it go properly, one of the commanders will feel quite lightened. ”

“Just so you know, this was more than I expected. ”

Winter, when I checked the time, took place. Communication terminals were stacked with messages from various numbers.

“I've got to get back from here today. There are a lot of people waiting, so I can't leave for too long. Can I call you back if I need you? ”

“Whatever it takes. I'll wait. ”

Kathleen also robbed the place. The festival was still going on.
