At the intersection, where police lights were lit everywhere, Daniel and Henry's car pulled up to the side of the road. This immediately led to a patrol officer coming over. Daniel and Henry, as detectives on duty tonight, quickly came to the street where it was said that a car had just been hit and killed according to the transfer of the police station.

Daniel immediately showed off his badge and stepped out of the car.

Daniel, "We're the duty detectives of the General Headquarters, and the main station notified us to come over, what happened?"

Patrolman, "An off-duty police officer, chased an Oriental, who then rushed to the main road and was hit and killed by a car that could not dodge. ”

Henry, "Off-duty cops?"

Henry also got out of the car at this time and walked from the other side of the car to this side. And to focus on a very important point in this incident: the police who were not on duty. According to the laws of Tonga, police officers who are not on duty do not have the power to enforce the law. So another important question arises.

Henry, "What would chase that Oriental?"

The patrolman, "It is said that someone found violence against an Oriental girl, so he stepped forward to stop it." ”

Henry, "How did the Stop get here?"

Patrolman, "Maybe the officer, trying to catch him." ”

The matter has been understood: a well-meaning off-duty policeman noticed a violent incident on the street when he was off duty, so he stepped forward to stop it. There is nothing wrong with this matter in itself. Don't say it's the police, it's also a very kind person and a socially responsible citizen. It's just that if the off-duty cop stops the matter, saves the girl on the ground, and scares away the bad guys, there will be no problem. But he also carried out personal arrests. Of course, there is no problem with that. But in the process of this arrest, there is a death of a person, then the problem is very serious.

Daniel and Henry glanced at each other, and although their eyes were not explicit, the meaning was already very obvious. That is, this off-duty cop is going to be unlucky! In the big New York police collective, there are a lot of such things. A lot of people will do something very unfavorable to themselves with good intentions. I've seen a lot of things like Daniel and Henry.

Daniel, "Okay! where is the victim, that Oriental girl?"

Daniel was ready to ask a very crucial question. That is the key witness, as long as there is this key witness to confirm that the off-duty policeman did indeed save people because of the following situation, then the problem is still within the controllable range. In the big system of the police, the general situation is that one's own people still have to help one's own people.

Then the patrol officer on duty told Daniel and Henry another very bad news.

Patrolman, "It's gone." ”

Daniel and Henry glanced at each other, and the contents were recognizable to anyone.

Henry, "This officer is in some trouble this time!"

Daniel, "yes, it can be troublesome! I've seen reporters coming." ”

The patrolman enthusiastically explained to them, "Yes, because it's close to Broadway! There are many reporters who are going on there tonight, and when they hear that something is going on here, they all come here." Arrived before us!"

The reporters arrived before the police, and the news must have been scattered like a tidal wave.

Daniel, "That's even more trouble!"

Henry also nodded in agreement with Daniel's judgment, and then Daniel saw James. Inside the fence that the police had set up, James was talking to an officer.

Through the vehicles and the police, Danny came to James who was talking to an officer.

Daniel, "James, why are you here?"

Daniel was very surprised to see James, but James was even more surprised to see Daniel, so he asked, "Daniel, why are you here?

Combined with James's expression and language, Daniel understood something in an instant.

Daniel, "Why don't you tell me you're the hapless off-duty cop who chased people and killed them?"

James, "I didn't expect anything like that to happen, and he ran straight onto the car lane. ”

It was a very, very unfortunate thing, and Daniel thought of a lot of things.

Daniel asked fiercely, "Damn." Has anyone ever recorded a confession for you?"

"Yes!" James looked at the officer he had just spoken to, "I talked to him. ”

Henry also came to the two brothers at this time.

Henry, "James, are you all right?"

James, "I'm fine, I'm fine." ”

Daniel gestured to Henry to the police officer who had been talking to James just now, "James just talked to him."

Henry immediately understood what Daniel meant.

Henry, "I know him! I'll talk to him." ”

Henry turned to leave, and Daniel looked seriously at James.

Daniel, "I think you should talk to Frank about this." Now!"

…………………………

At a small table in a quiet setting in a French restaurant in the city, Frank was sitting with four or five successful people in suits, telling jokes and gossiping. Although he is the biggest boss of the entire New York City police force, Frank can still have a normal social life of his own, just like many people in this city.

The phone suddenly started vibrating, and Frank found it in his suit pocket, took it out, saw James's number, and connected it.

James, "Frank, I'm in trouble. ”

Frank, "Wait!"

Frank stood up and walked to the outside hallway of the dining room where no one was. Frank can eventually be promoted to the big boss of the New City Police Department, and naturally he is far superior to others. So after hearing his second son's first words and the tone of his voice, Frank immediately left his friends and went to a relatively secluded place.

Frank, "Now you can speak. ”

After James had described the whole story in the quickest and most concise language, Frank began to ask questions.

Frank, "According to you, this is just an accident and has nothing to do with you. ”

James, "Yes. ”

Frank, "You don't have anything to hide, do you?"

James, "No. ”

Frank, "Okay, you're safe, aren't you? Not hurt, right?"

James, "I'm fine! ”

Frank, "If that's the case, you tell the truth, and you'll be fine." ”

James, "I'm sorry! ”

Frank, "It's okay, it's nothing! Take care of yourself, son." ”

James, "I will." ”

Frank closed his phone and returned to his location as if nothing had happened. Then continue to talk and laugh.

…………………………

Although Frank is still very very good here, in private, a quiet internal mobilization has begun within the Reagan family. So Du, who was still in the forensic laboratory, received a call from Susan, and then learned that James was now in trouble.

"James, is there anything wrong?"

Susan, "He's fine, he's safe, and he's not hurt." But according to Daniel, it's already a lot of trouble!"

Du fair, "Very troublesome?"

Susan, "Yes. The victim was not found, but James chased him to death, but there were many eyewitnesses. And the incident is being broadcast on TV. ”

Du fair, "Wait a minute!"

Martin's forensic lab had a small television set, and it even paid for some paid programs. Du Fair opened it and turned it on to a real-time news program. So Du Ping saw what Susan was talking about: on the TV news, reporters were reporting on this James-related thing.

On the TV screen, a male reporter is standing excitedly at the corner of the street where the accident was discovered, and from the camera, there is still a police cordon on the street, and there are still several police cars flashing red and blue flashing lights inside.

Journalist, "...... According to what we know, the officer who chased people was not only a rookie police officer who had just graduated, but he was not on duty at the time. On top of that, he is the youngest son of the current police chief, Frank. This has made the public even more skeptical about whether the case can be handled fairly and justly. And the victim in this case, that is, the deceased. It is a minority ethnic group. And the police department has always been white supremacist ......"

On the other end of the phone, Susan's voice came.

Susan, "You saw that?"

Du Fair, "Yes. ”

Susan, "Troublesome, isn't it?"

Du Fair, "Yes. ”

……

After Susan's news was delivered, Du Ping also fell into a deep worry about James.

When the phone was closed, Du Ping saw that Martin, who was sitting next to him, was holding a piece of raw meat with chopsticks and dipping it directly in the sauce and putting it in his mouth, which was still a piece of raw meat with blood, and this was not the formal way to eat this food.

Seeing Du Fair's gaze, Martin explained.

Martin, "The meat and sauce are good, and I feel that the taste of raw food is good. Would you like to give it a try?"

Du Ping shook his head, "I'm still used to eating cooked meat." ”

Martin, "It seems like it's almost, I'll take a look." ”

Du Ping sat back in his original position next to the small hot pot, but Martin put down the chopsticks in his hand, stroked his comfortable stomach, and walked towards the steel pot that was steaming people's heads. Turn off the flame under the small steaming dish to make the vapor smaller. When the steam is reduced, the human head in the steamer can slowly see its face. This human head, which used to seem to be just a skull, is now slowly and really plump. Martin watched carefully through the glass. It really returned to a more normal head belonging to a corpse.

Martin, "Seems like it's about the same." ”

Du Pingping, "Then hurry up and eat, and hurry up and work after eating." ”

Martin, "Okay. ”

Turning off the flame under the steaming dish, Martin walked back to his place, sat down, and picked up his chopsticks again. At this moment, the door to the laboratory opened, and a young police officer in a police uniform walked in.

Constable, "Forensic Martin, Inspector looking for you".

The young officer, who looked like a newcomer to the police force, passed on his mission very seriously and quickly, and stood there as if waiting for Martin to stand up and leave with him. Then he could see the whole room: a mummified corpse with no head on the steel dissecting table in the center, and a still steaming glass steamer next to the dissecting table, in which there was a miserable white head that seemed to be being made into some kind of cooked food. The most important thing is that in front of the glass steaming dish, two people are eating hot pot food that is also constantly steaming. The young police officer even clearly saw that the terrifying Martin would use two small wooden sticks to put a piece of raw flesh with blood into his black mouth.

The young police officer froze for half a second, then immediately covered his mouth and turned his head to rush to the road, disappearing into the door of the laboratory in an instant. The door to the lab was one of those that closed with a self-closing mechanism, and it began to slowly close on its own with no one to support it.

Martin looked at Du Ping next to him, "What did he just say?"

Du Pingping, "It seems to say, the police inspector is looking for you." ”

…………………………

In Daniel's police car, Daniel is nervously questioning James.

Daniel, "Henry has already spoken to the detective. Do you know about the Dongzhou Pentagon?"

James, "I remember you once said that you handled the case of the Dongzhou Penad, where they kidnapped illegal immigrants in Tongzhou and wanted to drain all the money from their relatives in their home country. ”

Daniel, "That's the guy." ”

James, "Yes, I know. ”

Daniel, "But that's just one of their more important atrocities." ”

James, "Why do you mention this?"

Daniel," Henry had spoken to the detective, who had recognized the tattoo on the deceased's body. ”

James, "Tattoos?"

Daniel, "Yes, one of the important signs of the Pente, the detective saw a tattoo on the arm of the deceased that was a Pente. So, brother, what you may have seen is not a simple incident of violence on the streets. This also explains why the female victim you mentioned disappeared. Because she was afraid of reprisals from the other members of the Pentagon. But the courts and the Ministry of Internal Security don't care about that, they just ask why you're here, who you've seen, what you've said, why you've killed people, so can you tell me more about what happened? ”

James also truly understood at this time that he was in great trouble. If he had just saved the girl and waited for the police to arrive, it would have been perfect. But James did a lot of things, and there are things in this world that are not rewarded for doing too much, and sometimes they are troublesome and dangerous. James is like that now.

James, "Okay. ”

Daniel, "You said, you saw them with guns"

James, "Yes. ”

Daniel, "What about the gun?"

James, "When I caught up with him, the gun was gone. ”

Daniel, "This is Zhaoren Street, the place where the pentads are active, as long as he throws the gun in his hand, it will soon be picked up by others, and there is no way to find it." ”

James, "What then?"

Daniel, "Let's talk about that woman, the girl you saved. Do you remember what she looked like?"

……

…………………………

In the forensic laboratory, when Martin came back from outside, Du Pingping completed the relevant photographing and evidence collection work of the head that had been basically restored. It can be said that the content of the agreement between Du Ping and the New York City Police has been over for a while. All that's left is a simple handover process and a few coordinated jobs. At the very least, Du Ping can go home and sleep tonight.

During the handover between the two, Du Pingping greeted Martin as a friend.

Du Pingping, "What is the police inspector looking for you?"

Martin, "Nothing!"

Martin thought for a moment and then continued, "I think they mainly want to trick that intern just now. ”

Du Fair, "That's all?"

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to figure out why." ”

"Do you still have such a tradition here?"

Martin, "Each place has its own unique traditions, and forensic labs are no exception, and I think those bad boys came up with this idea when they saw us ordering hot pot and bought it." ”

"That's a good idea!" I'm sure that kid will remember it. ”

Martin, "Yes. How about I use this idea next time I take an intern?"

Du Ping, "Tell him to watch you eat hot pot next to the corpse?"

Martin, "No! I'll invite him to eat with me." ”

…………………………

Leaving Martin's forensic laboratory, Du Ping immediately got in touch with Daniel, who was said to be busy with James's troubles, because Du Ping was still thinking about James's troubles despite being in Martin's forensic laboratory.

Du Ping pulled Daniel's mobile phone, and Daniel quickly answered Du Ping's call.

"How's things going with James?"

Daniel, "Still haven't been able to find the Oriental girl." ”

In the previous Susan story, Du Ping knew that the Oriental girl Daniel was talking about was actually the victim of this street violence that James had rescued but then mysteriously disappeared. An important witness in the case of James's pursuit of death. With her and her testimony, James's business is a righteous thing, and James will not have any trouble. But without her and her testimony, James would have faced a court charge of unintentional death.

So this girl is important!

"Does James remember what she looked like?"

Daniel, "He doesn't remember! ”

Du Fair, "That's all?"

Daniel, "That's all. ”

"If it's just this, then there are no less than 100 such girls on the campus of Guangniu University." ”

Daniel, "yes, it's troublesome. And the Department of Internal Security has set its sights on James. ”

Du Pingping, "Internal Security Department?"

Daniel, "Yes, anyone who is targeted by the Ministry of Internal Security will be in trouble. By the way, how are things going for you?"

Du Pingping, "If we carry out some cooperative forensic interpretation work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be nothing to do." Where you need my help, say it!"

Daniel, "Not yet. There are two key figures in this case: another bald Oriental man and a young Oriental girl. They, we don't have any clues on hand, how do you think you can help?"
