Although he was reminded by Zack, James, who had just entered the police station, still missed a beat in his heartbeat, he had never seen such a busy police station.

Maybe people who don't work here won't notice it at all. Isn't it just the police station, which should be a noisy scene where police and criminals coexist all the time, which can prove that the police station is playing its due role, maintaining peace, fighting crime or something. If it's deserted, it won't feel normal.

However, James knew that the busyness at this time was just not normal.

At the beginning of the year, Patton happened to meet two candidates for governor who came to Patton to inspect, and the two cases of "murder of a single woman" and "renovation" of telecommunications lines, which attracted the attention of the police department, came into one ...... We all know the truth, so we won't repeat it. James himself, although he could only participate in a tail, was in the same state in the police department as it is now, fully mobilized.

But the newspapers at the time were full of reports about these events, and now, James confirmed it yesterday in Grande, and there was not a single news in the newspaper about the police department, it was all Bisharp's news.

Walking past the crowded reception, James moved through the crowd with the cup holder in his hand.

"You, hello...... "The crowd was mostly civilians in civilian clothes, "I received a call, well, to pick up my brother...... Well, where should I go for bail...... Well, I'm sorry, can I ask him what he did...... So if I don't bail him, will he go to jail or will he be able to come out in a few days......"

James squeezed into the police station amid the sound of such inquiry, and not a drop of coffee was spilled from the four cups on the clatter.

Four cups? Everybody will know.

"Detective Lance. The first guy to notice that James was back was Chapman, who was pushing a man who was struggling with the back of his hand behind his back, "Welcome back." ”

James frowned, but nodded anyway, he didn't quite want to talk to Chapman. I won't go into the details of why.

"Lance!" Fortunately, Corson also found his long-lost partner. Looking at the cup holder held by James from a distance, he was refreshed, and he casually threw away the coffee in his hand and ran directly to James.

Chapman frowned, only nodded and continued to push the struggling man away.

"Great!" Detective Cousson picked up a cup of coffee from James very consciously. "I'm getting fed up with the crap coffee in the bureau, a lime smell!

"Where's the boss? "James was used to Curson's coffee.

Corson tilted his head to the side of the office of the head of their homicide team, "Yes, are you going to report the reinstatement? No, the new case has been given to me." ”

It was only then that James noticed that Colson was holding a document in his hand. Curson gulped down half of his coffee, "I know you're back today, just got off the task, let's go!" and pulled James to the outside.

James frowned. Shook off Colson's arm, didn't speak, and walked straight to the murder team leader's office. Corson pursed his lips, snorted, and returned to his place impatiently, glancing at his colleagues in the police station who were busy with their own affairs, pulling his lips and looking through the papers in his hand.

"Detective Lance. When you return from vacation, report for duty. James outside the office door said in a stiff tone.

The voice of the female team leader was cold. "Come in. ”

James pushed the door in, picked up a cup of coffee in his hand, and placed it in the hands of the immediate boss.

"What is this?" the female team leader flipped through the papers, looking at the coffee that had been placed in her hand.

"Coffee, team leader. James stood tall and holding two cups of coffee.

The capable female team leader tugged at the corners of her mouth. "Just say what you're going to do, I don't have time to waste with you. ”

"Nothing, team leader. "It's just that Detective Cousson often complains about the coffee in the bureau, and I want to be a partner." I always invite him to coffee, and there's no reason why I shouldn't do that to my boss. ”

"Huh. The female team leader actually smiled, closed the document she was reading, and tilted her head to look at James, "Lance, I see that you are indeed learning something." She picked up her coffee and shook it, "But you haven't learned the essence yet." She pointed to her cup, a tea bag hanging from the brim, "I prefer tea." ”

The corners of James's eyes twitched. Yes, James is just currying favor with his boss! The reason is naturally what he said to Zack in Grande, knowing that there will be resistance to finding out the identity of the bodies that the police department is covering up, and James is trying to slow it down. But in the end, it was clearly a failure.

The team leader still lifted the coffee lid, took a sip, his expression was uncomfortable, and waved his hand, "Let's just say it, what does Lance Detective who just came back from vacation need? ”

James's face was hard to look at.

From the words of this team leader, it seems that James's work situation is not very good. Don't be surprised, after all, James encountered something unpleasant (the southeast case that arrested Zack before, judging from the results, it was James's intention to continue the investigation that was forcibly blocked by the bureau), so he went on a willful vacation. James is a bad police detective with no discipline.

Seeing that James didn't speak, the team leader raised his chin towards the coffee in James's hand, "Who is this rest for?"

"xx from the Records Records Division and xx from the Missing Persons Unit. James replied with a grim face.

The team leader raised his eyebrows, but he was genuinely puzzled, "Why?" ”

James thought for a moment, shook his head, took a notebook from his coat pocket, and handed it to his boss, "I want to make sure these corpses ...... The identity of the person. ”

The team leader flipped through the features, which were the characteristics that James had summed up yesterday in Grande, under Morman's narration, such as the tattoos, features, and carry-ons on those corpses. That is, the remaining coffee in James's hands now, the investigation that can please him.

"What is this. The team leader frowned, she didn't need to answer, "Where did you get this?" ”

James pursed his lips.

The team leader glanced at James and tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Hmph, these people are already corpses." James himself said it was missing. Can't blame anyone else.

The team leader looked thoughtful and looked at James, "Are you wondering why these things aren't reported in the newspapers, and want to know their identities? Hmph, you don't need to please your colleagues to secretly check, I can tell you." She flipped through James's notes quickly. "You've got about four small gangs in the Southeast, and the names of the gangs don't matter anymore, they don't exist anymore. ”

What's going on in the Southeast, is the police department's current busy, cover-up finally about to be revealed?

"What do you mean?" James immediately asked.

"It's that I can't tell, or it's your ears. The team leader closed James's notebook and threw it away. Yes, it's lost. Carrara's falls into a trash can full of wet tea bags. It's a very obvious hint -- you don't care about this, James.

James stared at the trash can, the lines of his lips stiffened, "What's wrong with the Southeast?"

"You want to know?" the team leader shook his head, as if disappointed that James was still asking for what he wanted, and sneered, "Hehe, why don't you ask your partner who has a relationship with the Southeast." ”

James hadn't had time to express anything. The team leader had returned to the interrupted document and raised his hand. Point to the door.

James clenched his fists and turned to go out. Straight to Cousson.

"Cosen!" James casually gave the useless coffee to the two lucky guys passing by, "I have something to ask you!"

"Ahh Perfect for your first ...... when you just came back."

"No, Cousson, I have something to ask you. James interrupted his partner, "Southeast......"

"Bala Bala Bala. An eerie voice came out of Curson's mouth, completing the counter-interruption.

James was stunned for a moment.

"Curson, Southeast......"

"Bala Bala Bala. Colson had the case papers in his hand. Looking at James, he repeated the inexplicable action.

James closed his mouth and looked at Corson as well. After a brief, silent, uncomfortable look at each other, the "southeast ......"

"Bala Bala Bala. Corson opened his mouth and looked into James's eyes, as if he were always ready.

"East ......," James said.

"Bala Bala Bala. ”

James frowned, then spoke, "East ......"

"Bala Bala Bala. ”

"Cosen!"

"Well, what's the matter, Lance?" asked Corson, as if he were a kind partner.

"Southeast ......"

"Bala Bala Bala. ”

James took a few steps back, turned around and took a deep breath, then turned back, closing in, lowering his voice and speaking in a gloomy tone, "Cowson! What the are you doing!"

Corson stared at James for a moment, then slammed the papers of their case on the table with a single palm. It turns out that Detective Corson is also at the tipping point! His voice was also muffled, and his tone was gloomy, "I--what I want to ask you what you're doing!"

"I'm going to ask you about the Southeast! What the hell is covering up in the current bureau......

"What's going on?!what's covering?!" Curson pressed over James, "Don't you have eyes to see what the guys in this bureau are up to?! Do I feel like I'm involved? You ask me, what do you want me to tell you!"

Perhaps it was because Corson was speaking too fast and pressing too close, and James short-circuited for a moment, only opened his mouth, and involuntarily took a few steps back.

Corson didn't mean to stop, and continued to approach, "I don't know what to do!"

James grimaced and looked at Corson gloomily, "What did you say?" ”

"Tell me what's wrong with you!" Curson glared at James, "Useless boy!"

The corners of James's mouth twitched, and the resentment brought from Grande seemed to explode here, "Say it again!"

"Once, I can say it countless times!" Cowson pressed James tightly, his shoulder already provocatively pushed James, "what can you do!"

No one in the police station seemed to notice the two men, and everyone looked like they were busy with their own business.

James took a deep breath, a continuous deep breath, to ignore Curson's provocative look, "I'll ask again, what's going on in the Southeast." ”

"Huh!" a sneering or snorting voice came from Curson's throat, "You want to know so much? Okay, tell you, the Southeast is in chaos! The gangs are doing it! Assassinations, assaults, whatever filth you can think of, it's out!"

Cowson's eyes scanned around the bureau, and the guys who were secretly following the two chose to stay away and continue to look like they were busy with their own affairs. Corson snorted coldly again, "Hmph! See! This is the attitude of the insiders towards you when you have an informant in the middle of a chaotic battle!"

The 'you' in these words is Colson himself! The informant is the 'general'!

James was shocked by something. Zach and Moreman told his body that the Southeast had always been home to a large number of gangs, and that the police department had always had a consistent attitude towards the Southeast, and that there were no newspapers covering the Southeast...... Events are unfolding -

"Mother-of-the-............-

Corson was right, James was a heartless fellow.

Corson used a good description, mess. Will the gangs in the southeast, large and small, that can never grow, continue this state of affairs, how is it possible, they are not restaurants, they are gangs!

If there is a chaotic battle in the southeast, as Cowson just said, all kinds of dirty means appear, the police department, heh, I'm afraid it's not just the police department, it really can't be said to cover up anything, but control, stability maintenance, and law and order!

Then again, the impression that the Patton Police Department was covering up something, uh, it was Zach for James!

Now look at the sentence that the team leader asked James to ask Curson, yes, this is the situation of Curson in the police station now.

As Coulson grew more and more agitated, James grabbed Cousson's arm with his backhand, "Cousson, go out and talk!" James pushed Cosen, remembering to take the case file of their mission.

Sitting in the car, Corson was still excited, as if he had been holding back such a grievance for many days!

"Look at those guys!" "There is no such thing as pressing James at all, it seems to be pure venting, "all of them have the same face I owe them! I ......"

"Coleson!" James interrupted irritably, "to be clear! I know from Grande that a lot of corpses have been thrown in the southeast, and I have no idea what happened! Also, you said that the 'General' has no news, uh, what's going on......"

"Don't mention the Southeast!" Colson's fire came back to James, "Are you deaf! I've said it all, I don't have any news! I don't know anything!!Don't mention those three words to me again! I'm fed up and say I don't know!"

When Cowson was dumbfounded by James for a while, Cowson took the new case file irritably, "Focus! We have our own case to solve! Let the guys in the bureau clean up that hell by themselves!" Cowson tugged at his seat belt roughly, "Boss, that woman doesn't trust me either! What a aggrieved! Missing person case solving is thrown to us! It's an insult!"

Corson was talking about his and James's new case, and it seemed that what he had told James earlier was that it was a good case, but it was just self-consolation, and it was still a failed consolation.

James, who already knew that he couldn't get anything out of Cowson's mouth, shook his head, and had to look for clues elsewhere. James steadied the steering wheel and glanced at it, it was actually a case delegated by the court, and the header of the document had the logo of the Patton Court, "What case?"

"The key witness of the defendant is missing. "Cousson eased his mood a little after venting, "Bisharp sued the security company of his estate, and the security guards who worked at the estate were gone. ”

Why did the North District Police Department take over the case? because the company was ...... in the North District. (To be continued......)
