Outside the Sleepy Town Police Station.

In a BMW sedan, a young woman with a charming face and standard golden ratio facial features, very handsome, like a chocolate magic jelly bean, is holding a Canon SLR camera.

The camera is pressed in front of her face, and the shutter is pressed with a beautiful finger, and there is a "click, click" sound, she is an ICE agent in Los Angeles County, named Saltana Liviera.

Informants reported that in this rural town, an officer from the local police station had a close relationship with a snake-headed "scimitar" they were investigating recently, and it was likely that this officer was the "scimitar" in the local umbrella.

At this time, Agent Liviera saw a Honda Fit sedan driving into the parking lot next to the police station, and a female police officer in a police uniform pushed the door and stepped out of the car.

She hurriedly raised her camera to take pictures of the female police officer, named Jessica, who was the target of her surveillance.

After taking a photo, Liviera pushed the car door open and ran briskly towards Jessica.

Jessica, who had walked to the front of the police station, heard footsteps behind her, turned her head in confusion, and then saw a handsome woman with long brown hair, tight jeans, and a light jacket waving at her.

Livira walked up to Jessica and said:

"Hello, Officer Jessica."

"Hello."

Jessica was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there something wrong?" If you report the crime, go directly to the front desk and talk to Lupita. ”

"I'm not here to report the crime."

Liviera smiled, pulled out her badge from behind her waist, and said, "I'm federal immigration agent Liviera." ”

"Immigration agent?"

Jessica raised an eyebrow and asked warily, "How could ICE come to a country place like ours?" ”

"For illegal immigrants, of course."

"Oh......"

Jessica chuckled contemptuously, "Who are you going to arrest and then drive him back to hell?" ”

Livira smiled and replied:

"We only target people who are in conflict with the law."

"But we don't have anyone like that here."

Jessica shrugged.

"Really?"

Livira laughed, "Do you know a guy called a cutlastion?" I heard that he was in charge of an underground smuggling network. ”

"Machete ......"

Jessica squinted her eyes and replied, "I don't know who you are talking about, I'm a police officer in Sleepy Town, and I'm only responsible for the security of Sleepy Town, and we don't care about your ICE business." ”

"Okay."

Livira nodded, raised her wrist to look at the time, and said, "Then we'll see you next time." ”

With that, she turned around and walked towards the BMW sedan.

Jessica looked at her back and took a deep breath.

At this time, in the sheriff's office, due to the scimitar incident, Rorschach could not leave for the convent immediately for the time being, so he could only ask Agent Coulson to help investigate first.

Looking out of the shutters of the office to the police station hall, Rorschach saw Jessica walk in and got up and called her to the office.

Seeing Jessica, who had a bad face, walked into the office, Rorschach asked with some curiosity:

"What's wrong? Who you off? ”

"A nasty guy!"

Jessica clasped her hands to her chest and said dissatisfiedly: "I met a federal immigration agent at the door of the police station just now, and it's still a woman. ”

Hearing Jessica's words, Rorschach frowned, he didn't expect ICE to reach out so quickly, he hurriedly asked:

"What did she say?"

"She said the cutlass was the head of an underground smuggling network."

Jessica said angrily, "Isn't this nonsense! ”

"I understand."

Rorschach nodded, "What else did she say?" ”

"Nope."

Jessica shook her head and said, "Let's just say we'll meet again." ”

Rorschach narrowed his eyes, it seemed that the immigration agent was eyeing Jessica, and he asked:

"Have you been in contact with the cutlass lately?"

"Yes."

Jessica nodded, "As you instructed, I'll check on Mike every few days." ”

"Understood."

Rorschach asked, "How's Mike doing?" ”

"Not bad."

Jessica shrugged, "I'm in good spirits, and I seem to be enjoying my life now." ”

"Hmm."

Rorschach nodded, "Let him hold on for a while, and when the grand jury arrives, he will come out to testify." ”

"When will the grand jury arrive?"

"I don't know yet."

Rorschach shook his head and said, "Prosecutor Hopeway has already made an expedited application. ”

"Okay......"

Jessica pouted, "I guess I'll have to wait again......"

"It's possible ......"

Rorschach sighed, he didn't expect it to take so long.

Jessica looked down at the door, then walked over to Rorschach and whispered:

"That...... The scimitar did have contact with illegal immigrants in Mexico......"

Rorschach looked up, looked at Jessica and asked:

"Was he involved in illegal entry?"

"It's not."

Jessica shook her head, "It's all kids, their parents are in jail awaiting repatriation, but those kids are left unattended. ”

"That's ...... so"

Rorschach frowned, illegal immigrants smuggled into Sam's Country would be sent to the illegal immigration detention center if they were caught by ICE. However, due to the legal reasons of Sam Country, their children will not be put in prison, but those children will not enjoy help either, and many children have become orphans and live on the streets, which has indirectly caused various vicious incidents.

"yes."

Jessica sighed, "The Machete has been helping those poor children, and I've helped him a little before, after all, those children are no more than five or six years old. ”

"I understand."

Rorschach nodded, it seemed that these should be the reasons that made the immigration agent target Jessica and the scimitar, he thought for a moment and asked, "What is the scimitar doing now?" ”

"Recently, a child became seriously ill and needed surgery......

Jessica reluctantly spread her hands, "You know, how expensive it is to do an operation here, so he's raising money, he should be picking up jobs everywhere." ”

"Would you like us to help him?"

"I said it, but he refused."

"...... like this"

"Now the immigration agents have their eyes on you...... Gotta tell him to be careful. ”

"I know."

Jessica nodded, "I'll let him know, but in the morning he sent me a message saying that he would be out all day today, and asked me to help take care of the sick child." ”

Rorschach thought for a moment and said:

"I'd better call him again, it's a little wrong now."

"Okay, I'll call him now."

As she spoke, Jessica quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed the number of the scimitar, but the voice of not being on the server kept ringing on the phone, and she frowned and said, "It's strange how it can't get through." ”

"Don't worry."

"Maybe he's somewhere with a bad signal." ”

In fact, the mobile phone coverage in Sam Country is very poor, except for big cities, the more remote places the worse the signal, especially in forest parks, mountains, and even basements. While the major operators give 90% coverage, that's because they only count densely populated areas, completely ignoring forest parks, mountainous areas and suburbs...... For example, there is no signal in Yellowstone, a famous tourist attraction.

The reason for this is that Sam Nation's operators are market-oriented, building base stations only in high-margin, densely populated areas, and completely ignoring sparsely populated and low-profit areas.

Therefore, there is always a situation where there is no signal on the mobile phone in various horror movies in Sam's Country, in fact, it is not only necessary for the plot, but also the actual situation, and even the appearance of these plots is more to warn the public, don't think that you can go out casually with a mobile phone, because you don't know which corner you go to, there will be no signal, and there will be no police door when you want to.

After a long while, Jessica finally got through to the Machete's phone, and the two chatted for a few words, when suddenly Jessica shouted:

"What's wrong? What happened?! Speak! Hey, hey, hey! No way! ”

Rorschach looked at Jessica, and his heart sank, could it be that something happened to the scimitar?
