Chadwick's face finally changed when he heard this.
"The resignation rate is rising..." He paused for a moment, then finally spoke: "This is indeed something to be wary of. But when police officers resign, doesn't the local police station promptly replenish its staff?"
This question was asked very directly and administratively.
Arthur nodded. He had long anticipated that this question would be raised, or rather, he was waiting for Chadwick to ask it.
"On the surface, it appears to have been replenished," Arthur said: "At least in the reports, the personnel numbers of most local police stations have not seen a precipitous decline, but rather a slight dip."
He paused for a moment, but there was a subtle change in his tone: "But the problem lies in who they are replenishing and how they are replenishing them."
