077 Field Trips
With a simple face-to-face appearance, Horden was able to judge Isa's thoughts and intentions, and he was ready to go to wash up, and then follow Issa to the field to investigate.
But Issa still didn't hear Holden's words, and said to himself, "I'm going to go and find out about her now, would you like to come with me?" I mean, maybe she's the alpha we're looking for, she's probably even more cunning than you think, and you should be able to find out more." ”
Issa didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, she was completely immersed in her own world, not noticing Holden's answer from start to finish.
Hodden also realized this, and didn't say anything more, just said simply, "Give me five minutes." Then he closed the door in front of him.
The door was closed in front of him, and Issa came to his senses, standing stunned, scratching his head in embarrassment, and then Hoden opened the door again, threw a phrase "Please wait in the house for a while", and walked around Issa to the public restroom to wash up.
Issa's footsteps hesitated in place for a moment, switching back and forth between the bathroom and Howlen's room several times, and finally shouted into the bathroom, "...... Thank you. ”
More than sorry, it's more thanks. From the bottom of my heart.
Twenty minutes later, Issa and Holden arrived at the Seventh Precinct vigilante, and they needed to check out each other's details before they could officially visit the suspect.
"Randolph-Davis? I'm not surprised to hear her name, but I'm a little surprised, how did she get involved in your Eighth Jurisdiction?"
Standing in front of her was a short, chubby, pear-shaped woman, although she was a little inconvenient to move, and she always had a bright smile on her face, but the wise light hidden in the depths of her eyes had a mature and sophisticated sleekness -
Don't judge people by their appearance, this is a female sheriff who was promoted to squadron leader earlier than Isa, she is still a squadron leader at the age of more than half a hundred, but she has a transcendent status and extensive connections in the seventh jurisdiction, and even other jurisdictions have more or less heard her name, Martha Isserman.
However, Martha rarely travels to the front line of crime scenes, and she is more responsible for paperwork, mainly in the red and red formalities of the office.
"Randolph is an ambitious woman who is looking forward to more success. She has applied to join the Homicide Unit or the Anti-Street Crime Unit three times, and I helped write letters of recommendation for all of them, but unfortunately, she has never been able to succeed, and her personality is still a little too ...... It's too hot to be direct. ”
At this point, Martha didn't give any hints, just smiled at Issa, and then the words stopped.
Issa glanced at Hodden out of her eyes - after entering Martha's office, Hodden sat down on the couch, closed his eyes, and seemed to fall asleep again.
Since Hodden had no intention of asking questions, Issa took the initiative to speak, "Looking through her information, I found that her overtime request was much more unusual. Is it because of financial pressures? Or is it because of career considerations?"
"Oh...... She is a single mother of two young children. Martha said simply, "You should know how our society treats single mothers. ”
Not friendly.
This also means that there should be more pressure on money.
Issa then asked Randolph about his work, and Martha answered them one by one, and then she noticed Holden, who seemed to be dozing off, and chuckled, "What, bring the intern out? Hey, little one, I have a snack here, do you need it?"
Before Issa could reply, Hodden's voice came over, "Biscuits? I don't like biscuits for breakfast, if you have candy, you can consider it." ”
Obviously, when he entered the door, Hoden had already scanned it, and he didn't need Martha's reminder at all.
Martha threw a smile at Isa.
Hoden opened his eyes and asked, "What about personality? You just mentioned it, and you weren't surprised that we came to ask about her." ”
"Yes, she is a very strong and tough person, and has a strong sense of her precinct and will not let any intruder go. So, we've had a lot of complaints and complaints. Every once in a while, her name will appear. "But she's really efficient, and she knows what she's doing." ”
In order to gain respect, she would find the worst child in her precinct, arrest him in public, and then pull him into a corner, teach him a hard lesson, and show it to everyone, and the shock effect was very good. Martha said with a smile, not surprised by the behavior.
"Kids", Martha's words reminded them again, and Randolph was in charge of the campus area.
"Why are you investigating her?" Martha asked, confused.
Hoden chose to keep his mouth shut.
Issa hesitated, "We're investigating the Lenore family's murder. ”
Martha was a little surprised, "I know she's a fiery temper, but I can't imagine her doing something like this." ”
"We don't know what we can do in a desperate situation. Hodden said meaningfully, which made Martha look sideways.
"Randolph is a very capable and self-motivated vigilante, but she has never been promoted, and a promotion increases her income, and more importantly, her self-esteem, doesn't it?" said Hoden tentatively.
Martha bowed her head slightly, not answering immediately, as if she had seen through Holden's intentions, but she replied anyway, "I always hoped that she would persevere." But life is never easy. ”
The regression from a vigilante to a patrol officer is actually a signal.
Leaving Martha's office and standing at the door of the Seventh Precinct Sheriff's Force, Issa turned to look at Hoden, "I'm going to take a look at Randolph's jurisdiction, you ......" and then she noticed the animal biscuits in Howlen's hand, which were being thrown into her mouth one by one, "Do you need to go to class?"
"There were no classes this morning. If you don't mind, I'd be more than happy to visit this Randolph Davis in person. Hodden chewed on it, then out of nowhere, another bottle of orange juice came out of nowhere and poured it into his mouth.
Issa hesitated for a moment, but decided to pretend to ignore it, "Let's go." ”
It's less than a five-minute walk from the Seventh Precinct Security Team to the area under the jurisdiction of Randolph -
This area is bordered by the 6th and 7th jurisdictions from east to west, and the Sekpeth College is on the west side, but the security level of the college is higher, and the security team has a separate department, which is not part of the Randolph's work area, and there is also a technical college and two high schools in this area, which is the Randolph's work area.
When it comes to talking on paper, Hodden is a treasure, but when it comes to practice, Issa is the real master.
Instead of them looking for Randolph all over the street, it is better to make trouble and let Randolph come to the door on his own initiative.
So, the time for the show came again.
