"Brooklyn, you have to promise him."

Regan's voice in the headphones became serious.

He leaked the news to the media. He's right, Evelyn hasn't gotten out of his grip yet. ”

"Okay."

Brooklyn slowly spat out a word.

Hahn laughed happily, and after laughing, he said to David

"Officer David, please bring us an alarm clock."

David frowned and looked at Brooklyn.

He was still angry at Brooklyn's refusal to come at once, but he was measured enough not to act rashly at this time.

Brooklyn nodded, and whispered, "Go and ask the media what it's up to." ”

David nodded untraceably and got up to leave.

"You took Harvin's family hostage a long time ago, didn't you?"

There were only two people left in the interrogation room, Hahn and Brooklyn, but Brooklyn didn't mean to wait quietly, he spoke.

"It's always Evelyn who did the crime, and Curtis just helps you pass the news to Evelyn, just like Brown."

"Oh, maybe he'll help test your target too. He's been at the scene of the crime and watched it happen, but he didn't do it, right? ”

Observing a flash of smug expression on Hahn's face, Brooklyn added.

"I guess according to your plan, it should be after Curtis is convicted that Evelyn will not disclose the truth of the case to the media. Maybe you also told her to video the crime or something. Is that right? ”

"It's all planned, and you want to use Curtis to make a fool of us."

"You think you're in control, but you don't think the problem is with the student you trust and are most proud of."

"Evelyn's continued crimes completely unleashed the ferocity in her heart, and she couldn't help but escalate her modus operandi."

"It's out of your hands."

"You're secretly angry." Brooklyn observed Hahn's expression and continued, "Maybe you wrote to her and angrily scolded her and told him to stop. ”

"But she didn't listen, did she?"

"There are always times when children rebel, don't they?"

Hahn seemed to sense that Brooklyn was reading his emotions and looked down in reply.

"Rebellion?"

"Your 'child' doesn't seem to be as simple as rebellion."

Brooklyn leaned in to Hahn and said word for word

"She seems to want to overtake you and replace you!"

Hahn continued to bow his head, silent.

Since the trial a few years ago, when the lie was exposed by Brooklyn on the spot, Hahn knows that Brooklyn is very powerful, and he even faintly feels that Brooklyn is even more powerful than himself.

This thought frightened him and made him sleep.

He couldn't accept the idea!

So he planned this event with all his heart and soul to prove that he was better than Brooklyn! Defeat fear!

David brought the alarm clock and put it on the table.

"The news said that you arrived late at the police station, resulting in the death of 3 people because of you. When you arrive, you won't play a game with Hahn and free the remaining five hostages. ”

Taking advantage of Hahn's fiddling with the alarm clock, David whispered.

Brooklyn nodded, thought for a moment, and then covered the ear with the headphones and whispered

"You go and see how many people are in the observation room."

Seeing David's puzzled expression, Brooklyn explained

"When I talked to him before, I questioned his control over the helpers, and his performance didn't look like a fake."

In other words, it is very likely that three people did die. It depends on when I get here. ”

"This means that the message he delivers to his helpers is very precise."

"People out there should only know that I'm here, and the time and game are not predictable."

This means that it wasn't Evelyn who leaked the news, nor was it the other ordinary people that Hahn had prepared in advance.

"The people here only know when I came, and they shouldn't know the content of Hahn's request."

"Only the people in the observation room."

"They can listen to everything here, and only they have the most precise details of how things are going on."

"It's the people in the observation room who deliver the message to the media."

"Alright."

Hahn slapped the alarm clock on the table, interrupting Brooklyn's whisper with David.

"In an hour and a half, let's go find the bodies of the three hostages."

"Didn't you question Evelyn's disobedience? Go find it. ”

"After an hour and a half, no 3 bodies are found, and I'll ask Evelyn to send one downstairs."

As soon as he finished speaking, David immediately got up and left.

Hahn gestured to Brooklyn and turned his head toward the observation room

"He can't go."

"He's going to sit here and talk to me."

"Every time he leaves, the countdown is deducted by 10 minutes."

Brooklyn glanced at Hahn, didn't say a word, and turned away amid an exclamation in the headphones.

The smile on Hahn's face vanished, and he stared at the closed door, his hands clenched into fists on his knees.

……

……

Observation room next door.

"Why did you get out?"

Seeing Brooklyn enter the door, a police officer immediately stepped forward and questioned.

Brooklyn glanced at him, his gaze at Director Reagan.

"Shut up!"

Director Reagan gave a harsh reprimand and came to Brooklyn.

"Brooklyn, your idea should be worth 10 minutes."

Brooklyn couldn't help but glance at Director Reagan again, full of admiration in his heart.

The people who reprimanded themselves were because this kind of questioning was not in order, and Brooklyn was invited by them to participate anyway. They could have declined the invitation and quietly served as their own judge in the court.

This is one of the reasons why Brooklyn requires a written process.

With a written process, he was able to take more initiative.

But this is the headquarters of the New York Police Department, he Frank Reagan is the chief, and Brooklyn is just an outsider, and he can't let others bow their heads to Brooklyn as an outsider and admit their mistakes. [Note 1]

Putting aside these involuntary position issues, Brooklyn admires this Director Reagan very much.

At least he didn't come up and dropped a 'listen to me,' or at least he had Brooklyn try to attack Hahn's psychological defenses and keep up with the rhythm and understand what was really going on in the interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, before agreeing to participate in the game, Brooklyn said a lot, but actually only did one thing - hit Hahn.

There are many ways to overcome a person's psychological defenses, but the simplest and most direct way is to strike.

Directly hit people to break the defense.

When a person breaks the defense, that is, when his psychological defense line collapses, this person will take what he wants.

Brooklyn wants to rescue the hostages as soon as possible and help the police catch the killer, but time is pressing, and he doesn't have many options.

"She."

Brooklyn turned on his phone and showed up the photo he had just received.

"She's Evelyn."

Just by explaining this, the atmosphere around me immediately changed.

Reagan took the phone, glanced at it, and handed it to his subordinates, and immediately someone held the phone to compare the photos.

Reagan nodded at Brooklyn.

With Evelyn's photo provided by Brooklyn, it didn't take long for NYPD's web experts to find more.

They arranged the timestamps of the photos one by one, connecting the locations of the photos in chronostamped order, and finally drew a map of Evelyn's activities over the past few days.

There is a lot of repetition throughout the image, and it is in a U-shape around an address.

Brooklyn felt the change in the atmosphere of the observation room and squeezed through the crowd to the front.

Surrounded by a U-shape, it is the apartment where he lives.

"Judge Brooklyn, I need a search warrant from you, or a response that allows us to enter your home."

Director Reagan glanced at the time and spoke

"We're spending too much time on this map."

Brooklyn shook her head and acquiesced to the NYPD task force coming into her home.
