308 Confluence
The smuggler's den is located on a farm on the border between Sleepy Town and Los Angeles, and the owner of the farm is Carlos Bella, an ethnic Mexican.
Jessica gets a tip-off that Carlos is actually the smuggler's internal agent in Sam's Country, and that there are a large number of illegal immigrants stranded on his farm. Jessica hopes to use this raid to collect evidence against Carlos, so as to eliminate the stronghold planted by the smugglers in California.
Rorschach investigated Carlos through the internal police system, but judging from the police information, Carlos is very innocent and does not have any criminal record.
This made Rorschach feel that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he decided to log into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s system to see if there was any record of Carlos in it.
This investigation surprised Rorschach, who did not expect that Carlos was not only an internal member of the smuggler organization, but also one of the distributors of the Mexican drug cartel in California.
Seeing this information, Rorschach narrowed his eyes, could it be that the "Heart of Azeroth" wanted him to take down this drug trafficking stronghold in California?
After Rorschach learned that the smuggler's den was actually a drug trafficking stronghold, he immediately told Liviera the news.
Livira was shocked to hear this, and after discussing with him, Liviera did not cancel the operation, but decided to switch to a reconnaissance operation.
Rorschach did not object, but since it was an investigative operation, there was no need for a big fanfare, and it was more convenient to move with fewer people, so he decided to bring only one police officer to participate in the operation.

Early the next morning, Rorschach and Black Officer Brian drove out of Sleepy Town in a police car.
The police car drove on a straight road flanked by yellow sand and green hills, with rolling mountains as far as the eye could see.
Brian drove the police car, Rorschach sat in the passenger seat, and as he drove along, he was getting closer and closer to the meeting point with Liviera.
Rorschach glanced down at his phone, the message on the screen was still "not connected", he had contacted Liviera before leaving, and now he was almost at the meeting point, but Liviera did not answer his call, which made him feel that something was not quite right.
At this time, Brian, who was driving a police car, said to him:
"Sir, is the smuggler's den discovered by that beautiful detective actually a stronghold for drug dealers?"
"Yes," Rorschach put his phone down, "and it's likely that those illegal immigrants are the tools to help drug dealers bring drugs into California." ”
"Oh my God! Could it be that those drug dealers are engaged in human drug trafficking? ”
Brian had a look of surprise in his eyes, he had seen cases of human drug trafficking, and those who were not careful would be poisoned alive by the drugs hidden in their bodies.
"It's a possibility."
Rorschach nodded, the two most lucrative businesses in Mexico are drug trafficking and smuggling, so it is not impossible that this drug dealer stronghold is also a smuggler den, and even those illegal immigrants are more likely to rely on drug transportation to repay thousands of dollars in smuggling fees.
Brian gritted his teeth and gasped, and said:
"If that's the case, isn't it too dangerous for us to be in the past?"
"Don't worry, we're just scouting on the periphery."
Rorschach smiled slightly, of course he wouldn't take Liviera and Brian to the danger. However, after finding out that the farm was indeed the stronghold of the drug cartel, he did not mind killing them in one pot.
"That, sir......"
Brian suddenly spat and vomited.
"How?"
Rorschach looked at Brian in bewilderment.
Brian scratched his head and let out a dry laugh as he watched, and said:
"In a few days I want to take a long vacation to accompany Linda [Brian's] on a trip, and I haven't been able to deliver on that promise since I got married."
Rorschach looked Brian up and down, looking him nervous.
After a moment, Rorschach smiled:
"No problem, I'll give you a long vacation then."
"Oh! Sir, you're amazing! ”
Brian really breathed a long sigh of relief, with an excited expression on his face, if he hadn't been sitting in a police car, he would have to wave his arms and dance a dance.
Obviously, Rorschach's answer was not what Brian expected.
Due to the lack of police in Sleepy Town, Brian simply held a wedding when he got married, and then went to work, but this busy life made his relationship with his wife more and more distant, and even faintly rifted, and he knew that he had to find a way to improve the situation.
After Rorschach took office, law and order in Sleepy Town began to improve, and the town's financial allocation to the police department increased, and Brian also received the long-awaited bonus. With the prize money in hand, he decided to accompany his wife on a trip abroad, hoping to take the opportunity to improve their relationship.
※※※※※※
The police car pulls up next to a gas station, where Rorschach and Liviera have agreed to meet.
Rorschach pushed open the door and stepped out of the police car, looking around and seeing no Liviera.
Brian also got out of the police car, looked left and right, and said:
"Sir, hasn't that beautiful detective arrived yet?"
"Let's wait."
Rorschach leaned over his waist and looked into the distance.
Seeing this, Brian also walked up to him and began to wait patiently with him.
After a while, at the far end of the road, a few black dots faintly appeared, and the black dots gradually became larger, and it was a fleet, all of which were black SUVs.
"Look, sir."
Brian pointed to the convoy heading in their direction.
"Well, I saw it."
Rorschach stared at the approaching convoy, puzzled, was it Liviera? But isn't she not supported by the immigration authorities?
The convoy slowed down and came to a stop not far from them, the lead black SUV door was pushed open, and Liviera jumped out of the car, waving her hand and running towards them.
"This beautiful detective is such a big pomp!"
Brian looked at the magnificent convoy and pouted.
Rorschach narrowed his eyes, only to see a black man in a black suit emerge from the black SUV, and he said in a deep voice:
"They're not from USCIS."
"Not from USCIS?" Bryan had a look of surprise in his eyes, "And who are they?" ”
"It should be the FBI."
“FBI?” Brian frowned, "How did they come here?" ”
"I don't know," Rorschach shrugged as she looked at Liviera as she walked towards them, "probably for the drug cartel." ”
Liviera trotted over to Rorschach, beads of sweat on her delicate face, and she gasped and lowered her head a little embarrassed.
"Sheriff, I'm sorry I'm late."
"It's fine." Rorschach looked at the SUV behind Liviera and the man in the suit who had gotten out of the car, "Who are they?" ”
"They're the FBI."
Livira shrugged helplessly.
Rorschach narrowed his eyes, and sure enough, it was the FBI. He withdrew his gaze and looked at Liviera.
"You contacted them?"
"No......" Liviera shook her head and sighed, "They came to the door themselves." ”8)
