059 Banquet
Schumacher MP slammed open the wooden door of his office and walked out in a rage.
Rorschach looked at his back and narrowed his eyes, where is this bastard Hansen hiding now?
Jessica stood in the doorway of her office and shrugged helplessly.
Rorschach looked up at her, sighed and said:
"Let's find out what Hansen has to say."
"Okay."
Jessica nodded.
After a while, she retrieved Hansen's information and put it on Rorschach's desk.
Rorschach flipped through the folder and began to look at the material that he had read countless times.
Jessica stood aside and asked:
"Did you think Pradino hid him?"
"Pradino?"
Rorschach shook his head, "I've checked him, he never touches drugs, at least there is no drug trade in Sleepy Town that has anything to do with him, and half of the clues to the recent drug trade in the town are provided by his subordinates, although Hansen is his subordinate, this farm party is obviously Hansen's own private work." ”
"That means it has nothing to do with Pradino?"
"No ......"
Rorschach narrowed his eyes, "It's just that there's no evidence." ”
Jessica thought for a moment and said:
"Do you want to go to the judge and apply for a search warrant?"
"Not for now."
Rorschach waved his hand, "Don't startle the snake, if the farm party really has something to do with Pradino, he will definitely show his feet." ”
Jessica nodded, she understood that with Pradino's status in Sleepy Town, as soon as she handed over the search application to the old judge, Pradino would get the news.
At this time, Lupita, the front desk of the police station, knocked on the door.
Rorschach looked at the door of the office and asked:
"What's the matter?"
"Sheriff, Mayor McCarran has invited you to a banquet hosted by Mr. Pradino in the evening."
"Okay, I got it."
Seeing Lupita leave, Jessica smiled at Rorschach and said:
"I remember there is a proverb in the East, how do you say it?"
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive."
Rorschach looked up at her, "Jessica, can you accompany me to the banquet in the evening?" ”
"Going to a banquet?"
Jessica thought for a moment, "Okay, who told you not to have a female companion." ”
……
In the evening, Rorschach arrives at Jessica's residence in a Mustang sedan to pick her up and take her to Pradino's estate outside the sleepy town.
After waiting for a long time, Jessica walked out of the residence, at this time she changed into a black dress, showing her bumpy and good figure, the small bandeau on the upper body made her sexy and feminine, and the slender and perfect curves were exposed under the tight narrow skirt, and with a pair of red high heels, she was completely two people from the spicy policewoman she usually saw.
Her face also looked more delicate, and her whole person looked much more beautiful than usual, and it seemed that she had spent a lot of time applying makeup.
Walking to the Mustang car, Rorschach hurriedly helped her pull the car door.
Jessica looked at Rorschach who was changing into a suit and said with a smile:
"It seems that after changing clothes, people have become gentlemen."
"Opening the door for a beautiful lady is what I should do."
Rorschach smiled and gestured please.
Jessica nodded, raised her hand and pressed her chest into the Mustang car.
Rorschach drove the Mustang sedan to the Manor in Pradino, outside the manor is a high fence, drive into the gate of the manor, look around, this manor covers a large area, heavily guarded, full of cameras and infrared detectors, from time to time you can see sturdy bodyguards leading the big wolf dog to patrol the manor, want to sneak in, it is not an easy thing, and these are only exposed, can be seen security measures, as for whether there are hidden measures, it is unknown.
At the gate of the manor castle, the parking lot is already full of luxury cars, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and even sports cars such as Ferrari and Lamborghini.
Jessica looked at the luxury cars, pursed her lips, and complained:
"These idle rich people have come to show off again! I haven't paid off my bill this month! ”
Hearing Jessica's words, Rorschach shrugged his shoulders, Sam's Country is a paradise for the rich, for the middle class, they can only live a miserable life, they can't be unemployed, they can't be rich, and they have to worry about a thick stack of bills every month. However, for the poor, Sam's Country can also be said to be "paradise", especially in big cities, the bigger the city, the more vagabonds, because the richer the city, the more generous to the poor, after all, they want to flaunt their advanced, even if they have no money, they have to support them, but it is better not to become a vagabond, because maybe one day they will disappear from the streets, and even the body will not be found.
Rorschach parked the Mustang car, Jessica took him by the hand, and the two of them walked together towards the gate of the manor.
On the steps of the gate, Pradino was standing in the doorway, receiving the visiting guests, and when he saw Rorschach appear, he hurriedly walked down the steps to greet him.
"Sheriff, hello."
"Hello, Mr. Pradino."
Rorschach shook Pradino's hand, "It looks like tonight's party is going to be lively." ”
"Of course."
Pradino smiled, "You'll find that Sleepy Town isn't as lifeless as it seems. ”
Rorschach nodded, looking around.
Pradino glanced at Jessica beside Rorschach and said with a smile:
"Enjoy tonight, both of you."
"Yes."
Rorschach replied with a smile, and with that, he led Jessica up the steps.
Pradino said to his back:
"Sheriff, I'll come back to you later."
"No problem."
Rorschach turned and nodded.
Walking into the hall, Mayor McCarran saw Rorschach and hurriedly beckoned him over.
Rorschach walked up to the young mayor, and beside him stood a tall, handsome white male, who put down his glass and stretched out his hand, saying:
"Sheriff, I'm Gordon Hopeway, and we met when you took the oath."
"Hello, District Attorney Hopeway."
Rorschach shook hands with Prosecutor Hopeway.
Prosecutor Hopeway glanced at Jessica beside him, was stunned for a moment, and asked:
"Who is she?"
Rorschach smiled and replied:
"She's Jessica, my colleague."
"Oh......"
Prosecutor Hopeway took a deep breath, "Officer Jessica, this is the first time I've seen you like this. ”
Jessica covered her mouth and smiled, and said:
"Prosecutor Hopeway, I'm smiling you."
"No, no."
Prosecutor Hopeway hurriedly waved his hand, "I was just surprised by your beauty, I didn't expect the usually heroic female police officer to have such a side." ”
After saying that, he shouted to a lady in the distance:
"Honey, come and meet the new sheriff I often talk about."
Rorschach turned her head to see Kelly walking over with two glasses of champagne.
"Hello."
Rorschach greeted her with a smile.
"Hello."
The corners of Kelly's mouth curled, and she handed over the champagne in her hand, "Sheriff, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Rorschach took the champagne handed over by Kelly and said:
"Mrs. Hopeway, so do I."
Kelly raised her champagne glass in a salute.
Rorschach nodded, took a sip of champagne, said hello to Prosecutor Hopeway, and walked to the buffet table.
At the buffet table, Jessica picked up a cocktail and stared at Rorschach with a strange look in her eyes.
Rorschach was a little uncomfortable by her, touched his face, and asked:
"Is there something on my face?"
"No ......"
Jessica suddenly asked, "You knew Mrs. Hopeway before?" ”
Rorschach was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied:
"I don't know."
