The Police Captain looked at the bodyguards, who clearly had a different aura, and their vehicles, feeling completely out of luck.
Although he was not sure about the specifics of the individuals coming from Capital City, the cars and these people seemed far from ordinary.
The experienced police didn't start by voicing suspicions about the situation but instead showed their IDs to those present.
He then said, "Recently, some herders reported stolen cattle and sheep, which alarmed our superiors and prompted them to order us to solve the case quickly.
Now, all road intersections and related reception centers require verification. Please present your IDs for inspection."
As he spoke, the leading police officer did not look at the bandits first, but at the other bodyguards in the courtyard.
It seemed he was using this approach to signal to the bandits that this was routine business, not a targeted search for them.
"Are you passing tourists? Show your ID as well."
