Early November.

At the strong urging of the third phone call from the Minister of Justice.

Mark was forced to end his vacation.

I just got back to the office and haven't sat down for ten seconds

Deputy Commissioner Harold Cooper arrived for questioning.

He was furious.

It was clearly said that it would be three months.

The result?

Just as Cooper was about to speak, Mark took the lead and threw something directly at Cooper.

"What is this?"

"Invitation from Horaceman Middle School, your eldest son is in the sixth grade, right?"

“……”

Cooper looked down at the invitation that Mark threw into his arms, then looked up and said with some puzzlement: "But Horaceman's enrollment is over. ”

Mark, who took out a bottle of Bourbon from the Xiaoice box, didn't bother to answer the question and just said, "Listen, do you want it or not." ”

“…… Want. ”

Cooper was silent for a while, looked up, and held back his original complaints, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome." Mark raised his glass and smiled.

Two minutes later.

Cooper left Mark's office.

He is going to tell his wife the good news now, immediately.

Mark stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in contemplation.

When he decided to postpone his vacation on his own, he had already figured out how to deal with the deputy's displeasure.

For the Gu family's deputy, Cooper.

An invitation from one of New York's top three private high schools is enough to dissipate all the anger at work......

There was a pause.

Mark put away his pen and blew on the note in front of him, satisfied.

This is a leave note that will be sent to the current attorney general of the Ministry of Justice in an email.

Not before the time.

The last time was marriage leave plus annual leave.

This time...... Sick leave.

After a slam in the federal internal system, Mark sent the scanned electronic copy directly to the attorney general's mailbox.

"That's it!" Mark leaned back with a satisfied expression.

Ding Ding Ding!

Mark was stunned as he watched the phone ring in his office.

Put through.

"Operational Command Center, now."

"Minister's ......"

"Toot ......"

Mark blinked.

Could it be that the female minister who replaced Justin has just been scrolling through the mail?

Operational Command Center.

As soon as Mark scanned in, he immediately saw that Cooper had arrived ahead of schedule.

"Harold."

"Director."

“…… What's going on? ”

"I just got a call from the Department of Justice."

Mark frowned, couldn't think of anything, so he could only nod to the agent in the combat command center and said, "Connection." ”

"Yes!"

The big screen instantly changes from a blurred screen state to an instant video state.

The video on the opposite side is the attorney general's office.

After the video is connected.

The current attorney general with glasses in his office chair looked up at his computer and smiled.

Standing in front of the big screen, Mark said formulaically, "Good morning, ma'am. ”

"Good morning, ma'am." Cooper was close behind.

Yes.

Now the Minister of Justice is a woman.

No doubt.

It can be seen from the short and medium hair that has turned silver.

The attorney general nodded, then looked at Mark and said, "Director Louis, are you planning to enter retirement early?" Or does Director Louis have any opinion of me? ”

"There is no lady."

"Then why did you give me a sick note as soon as you came back to work, and you were sick?"

“…… Yes. ”

"Do you need to come to Washington to check?"

"I don't think so, the doctor said it's good to rest during this time."

"Really?"

"No doubt, ma'am."

"Okay then, I won't approve it."

"Thank you...... What the? ”

Albert, the current Minister of Justice, took off his silver glasses, then put his arms on the table, looked at Mark and said, "I said I don't approve, didn't you hear clearly?" ”

Mark: "......"

Cooper, who was next to him, looked at Mark's eyebrows and was frightened for a while, and hurriedly interjected: "Madam, is there something wrong with coming to us in such a hurry?" ”

Mark glanced at Cooper, who had been interrupted.

Cooper ignored Mark's small eyes.

He was also in pain.

He has a sub-word on his head.

Anyone knows that two immortals fight, and the one who suffers must be the sub-word......

The Minister of Justice over there, Albert, nodded when he heard Cooper's words, then looked at Mark and asked, "Do you have any information about the visa officer of the consulate in London?" ”

Cooper hurriedly nodded to the agents in the operations command center.

Mark frowned directly: "Kate? What's wrong with her. ”

Kate here is not Mark's girlfriend.

Rather, it refers to......

[Kate Albert, female...... Twenty-five years old, currently working as a visa officer at the local consulate in London......]

"According to reliable sources, an explosion occurred in a restaurant near the consulate in London half an hour ago, and all the consular employees on duty were killed," said Justice Minister Albert there......

"Except for Kate?" Mark interjected.

Albert nodded.

"You suspect this Kate made the bomb."

"We don't have evidence at the moment."

Mark looked at Cooper and bowed his head and reminded directly, "Man, Kate Albert is the niece of our current minister. ”

Cooper crashed instantly.

Minister Albert in the picture smiled and said, "If this thing was really done by Kate, I wouldn't have any favoritism." ”

Cooper smiled reluctantly.

Mark spoke up, "With all due respect, ma'am, what do you need from our side?" ”

"Kate is missing." Minister Albert over there looked at Mark and said, "I have a phone call with that Mrs. M in London, if you want me to agree to your leave, go to London, and find me the person behind this bombing." ”

said.

Didn't wait for Mark to reply.

Minister Albert over there cut off the connection.

The big screen instantly blurs the screen.

Mark was upset.

Cooper next to him couldn't help but cover his forehead.

He decided.

Be sure to get out of here as soon as possible.

Even if you go back to Washington to manage a warehouse, it's better than staying here......

Half ringing.

Cooper looked at Mark, who was sitting directly in the chair of the combat command center, and asked in a daze, "You still don't set off?" ”

"Where are you going?" Mark asked, puzzled.

"London."

"There's no hurry."

“…… What the? ”

Mark glanced at Cooper, who had a fiery expression, and rolled his eyes directly, and said angrily: "Is it really me God?" I haven't figured out what the situation is, so where can I find it when I get off the plane now? ”

Cooper: "......"

Mark sneered directly.

He would not believe Minister Albert's promises.

Minister Albert's credibility is good.

But in Mark this?

It has long been bankrupt.

The reason is simple.

At that time, when Mark took on the Rehegu serial murder case, it was Albert who assigned it.

Mark got caught.

The next day, Mark's order came down.

Yes.

Mark went to the East Country because of Albert's order.

After thinking about it.

Mark said in a deep voice to the agent who was in charge of the operations command center, "Pick me up at the London consulate." ”

"Yes, Director."
