The next morning, when Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis walked into the New York Police Department's Ninth Precinct with their waiter, Willing, the lawyer Veronica Quinn, who had been notified by Xiao Yao's phone call the night before, was already in the police station.

Veronica Quinn had apparently been in contact with Detective Myer, so when Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis arrived with Willing, Detective Maier and Veronica were already waiting in the public office area next to the reception.

Seeing the trio arriving, Detective Meyer gave Tim Haggis a complicated look and prepared to take Willing to the interrogation room to re-record his confession.

"Detective Myer," Tim Haggis said, stopping Myrdau as he pulled Willing to turn and leave, "and I ask to be part of the investigation of this case. ”

"What?" said Maier, looking back at Tim Haggis in surprise, "What are you FBI trying to do? This is our NYPD case!"

"Don't get me wrong," Tim Haggis said quickly, "we at the FBI aren't trying to rob you of the NYPD case, it's yours, I'm just trying to help." You see, this new clue was discovered by us, and I don't want to give up halfway, I want to follow this case completely. I applied to my boss yesterday and he agreed that I would assist in your case as an FBI agent. At the end, Tim Haggis pauses deliberately on the word "your" to emphasize.

Tim Haggis, who had flashed his badge when he was looking for Willin with Xiao Yao last night, reported the incident to the boss Alan Hal after returning in the evening, and at the same time he also applied to Alan Hal to participate in the investigation of the local police station. On the one hand, he had been reading the case file last night, and he was very interested in this case. On the other hand, he also saw that Xiao Yao would not let go of this case, and would definitely try his best to participate in it. Instead of secretly investigating, it is better to take him to investigate openly, so as not to have some unnecessary misunderstandings with the New York police.

Alan Howl listened to Tim Haggis's explanation and thought about it and agreed. Tim Haggis is a rookie when it comes to investigating crimes, and this is a good opportunity for him to gain experience. As for the ownership of the case, he does not want to grasp any case as others think.

Speaking of which, the FBI's resources are certainly superior to those of the local police department, and if they use their own resources to help with the investigation, the local police department will feel much more relaxed. Since the FBI said that it didn't care about the ownership of the case, this was a great thing, so Detective Meier didn't think much about it, and even nodded in agreement, "Since that's the case, then come in with me." I'm going to re-record his confession now, and you can either join me or watch from the observation room next door. ”

"Actually, it's not just me, it's him. Tim Haggis pointed at Xiao Yao again, "You should know that I have another mission to protect him, and I can't let him out of my sight." Also, what you don't know is that he helped us find a well-hidden drug trafficking suspect in the FBI before, and yesterday I saw that the victim Laura may have taken drugs and that the waiter had given a false confession before, so I wanted him to be involved in this case as a special adviser. ”

"He?" Detective Maier said suspiciously.

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "This case happened at the Chambers Conservatory, and the current people involved are also students of the Conservatory. I am a professional musician and can provide professional advice. I saw that the victim might be taking drugs and the waiter was lying, all thanks to my professional knowledge of music. "Yesterday, Tim Haggis communicated with Alan Howl and informed Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao naturally expressed his gratitude to Tim Haggis for his actions, and at this time he was also prepared and knew how to convince the police detectives at the police station.

"He's not a police officer, can you guarantee that he won't cause trouble?" said Detective Maier with a frown at Tim Haggis.

"Of course, I'm in charge of him. Tim Haggis immediately said, "If anything goes wrong with him, I'll take care of the consequences." ”

"Alright," Detective Maier said, waving his hand, "come along, but he's your special advisor, not ours, so please keep an eye on him and don't let him mess around." ”

"I promise. Tim Haggis said.

After entering the police station, Detective Meyer took the waiter, Willing, to the interrogation room. Xiao Yao felt that Wei Lin should have said everything he knew when he was in the restaurant last night, and he didn't have anything special to explain today, so he suggested that Tim not participate in the interrogation, and the two went to the observation room next to it together. Watching the police detectives interrogate witnesses through the one-way glass window was also a novel feeling that Xiao Yao experienced for the first time. Entering the observation room with Xiao Yao and Tim was lawyer Veronica Quinn. As Sun Tingting's lawyer, she has the right to know all the details of the case, so she can also watch Detective Meier's interrogation.

Welling's confession to Detective Meyer is really nothing special, basically refuting the previous confession, repeating what he said to Tim and Xiao Yao last night, the only role is to prove that Wyatt left the restaurant before eight o'clock the night before, in fact, he did not have an alibi, and he had time to commit the crime.

When Detective Meyer completed his second interrogation of Willin and sent him away, he entered the observation room with an additional document.

"Welling's statement, like what Ms. Quinn told me earlier today, proves that Wyatt did not have an alibi. In addition, the toxicology test report also came out, and the test results showed that the victim Laura Sim's blood contained a certain chemical component of the drug, and the forensic doctor judged from the content that the victim was indeed taking drugs before his death. With that, Maier handed Veronica Quinn a report in his hand.

"Mr. Detective, what are you going to do next?" Knowing the results was enough, and Xiao Yao couldn't understand the professional test report, so Xiao Yao didn't look at the report in Veronica Quinn's hand, but asked Detective Meier.

"I know what you're thinking," Detective Meier said as he looked at Xiao Yao, "This test report can only prove that the victim was using drugs before his death, and there is no evidence that the drug is related to Wyatt, and of course there is no reason to apply for a search warrant to search Wyatt's residence." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yao said with obvious disappointment.

"But the alibi was false enough for us to bring him back to the police station to talk about it. Mel turned and walked out, "Are you coming?"

"Of course!" Tim Haggis and Xiao Yao immediately followed.

"I went to the district attorney and told him about the new situation to see if I could postpone the prosecution of Ms. Sun. Veronica shouted from behind her.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao waved his hand without looking back.

Out of the interrogation observation room, Maier called two uniformed police officers and drove to Wyatt Vane's quarters.

Chambers College of Music provides dormitories for students, but does not require them to live on campus, and Wyatt Vane does not live in on-campus dormitories, but rents an apartment outside.

Wyatt Wayne's apartment is on the fourth floor of a six-story apartment building, and when he arrived at the apartment building and waited for the elevator, Xiao Yao couldn't help but ask Detective Mayer, "Detective Mayer, can I ask you a question?"

"What?" said Detective Mayer, looking at Xiao Yao.

"I know that police detectives in the United States are all partners in pairs, but why do you have no partner every time you investigate a case by one person with two uniformed police officers?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

"My partner is a female detective, she is pregnant and on maternity leave, and there is no single detective in the police department who can be assigned to partner with me temporarily, so I can only work alone for the time being. Maier explained.

"I see. Xiao Yao nodded.

"Do you think I'm not investigating the case carefully enough?" Maier suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Because I do the work of two people alone, I do things more hastily?"

"No, I didn't mean that. Xiao Yao immediately shook his head and said. Even if he really thinks so in his heart, Xiao Yao will not be stupid enough to show it now.

Walking to the door of the room with the 4E sign, Detective Meyer reached out and knocked on the door, shouting, "Is there anyone inside?"

A young man opened the door and saw Detective Meier and the two uniformed officers, and said impatiently, "Mr. Detective, is it about Laura again? Didn't I go to the police station to record a confession? I told you everything I knew, and there was nothing else to say." "Apparently the young man who opened the door was Wyatt Wayne they were looking for.

Because Detective Maier and two uniformed officers stood in front of the door, Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis were not at the door, and they were not in the sight of Wyatt Vaane, who opened the door.

Xiao Yao quietly leaned into Tim Haggis's ear and whispered a few words, Tim Haggis nodded, suddenly squeezed away a uniformed police officer, took the police badge and flashed it in front of Wyattnian, and shouted: "FBI Anti-Drug Team!"

"!" Wyatt's face changed immediately, and he slammed the door slammed against him, and then the sound of objects crashing to the ground in the room rang out.

Wyatt's performance naturally made several police officers outside the door suspicious, and Tim Haggis took two steps back, stuck to the opposite wall, and was about to rush up and slam the door with his shoulder. Xiao Yao next to him had already walked to the door, stretched out a foot on the spot and kicked on the door, and saw that the door fell inward.

"Oh my God, so fierce?" the two uniformed officers looked a little dumbfounded.

Xiao Yao ignored the exclamations of the two police officers, kicked open the door, rushed in directly, glanced around, and soon found the open window in the living room, and quickly ran over.

Xiao Yao leaned over and looked out, and found that outside the window was an iron staircase set on the outer wall, and Wyatt was running down the staircase. Xiao Yao didn't say a word, and immediately drilled through the window and chased out.

Tim Haggis's movements were not slow, he took two steps back, and he was about to rush inside, but at this time, he also chased out of the window after Xiao Yao.

When Detective Meier ran to the window and looked out, he saw that Wyatt was almost on the first floor, but Tim Haggis was still on the corner of the fourth and third floors. What about Xiao Yao, who chased him out earlier? Detective Meier looked forward, but found that Xiao Yao was holding the staircase ground outside the window on the fourth floor in front of him with both hands, and his whole feet were hanging in the air on the outside of the iron staircase.
