In fact, the words spoken by the Deputy Director have hinted at some problems...
"No need", "trouble for oneself" and other phrases. A smart person would understand what was going on just by hearing them!
To speak the truth, when Manor of Tinov was turned into ruins by a big fire, wouldn't any discerning person see that there's a problem?
Why does the Deputy Director insist on calling it an "accidental fire" and doesn't want the bureau to continue investigating it?
It's clear, he knows something!
The Director also knows, he even knows that the Deputy Director knows...
Okay, this does sound complicated when explained!
Simply put, everyone knows there's a problem, but no one is openly addressing it.
One wants to use the opportunity to do something "significant".
The other is subtly telling everyone that Tinov's case is too complicated, and the mere city bureau cannot handle it, don't get yourselves into trouble!
