Despite a fractured radius and a fractured forearm, David drove himself over.

Looking at the miserable David, Brooklyn couldn't help but laugh.

Then came Ray, and finally David himself.

Their relationship slowly recovered in this inexplicable and very tacit laughter.

Brooklyn did not pretend to admit his mistake and asked for David's forgiveness.

He revealed part of the situation and explained the source of his sense of urgency.

Mr. President is not in a good situation, and he may not be able to complete his term.

The current social contradictions in the Federation are very acute, race, color, gender, religion, immigration, firearms, environmental protection...... All sorts of social contradictions have accumulated to a threshold.

The Federation is like sitting on a volcano, which is becoming active and becoming more and more active, and could erupt at any moment, swallowing everyone up.

However, with the current political environment of the federation, it is obvious that it is impossible to fundamentally resolve these contradictions.

When the contradiction cannot be resolved, the best way to alleviate the contradiction becomes to transfer the contradiction, to transfer the internal contradiction to the external contradiction,

That's what the Federation used to do.

However, the prolonged war in the Middle East has filled the entire federation with war-weariness and anti-war thoughts, and the people are tired of endlessly participating in other people's affairs.

Now the trick of deflecting the contradiction does not work.

It is useless to divert contradictions, and if we cannot resolve contradictions, we can only wait for contradictions to erupt.

"The outbreak of contradictions is not a problem, I don't want to be involuntarily." Brooklyn said.

David and Ray were silent.

They also know what Brooklyn is saying.

Needless to say, Ray is proficient in all kinds of infiltration and reconnaissance skills behind enemy lines, and in this ZBZY base camp, which is incompatible with his own organization, he pays attention to all kinds of social contradictions all the time.

As a NYPD police officer, although David didn't pay attention to it before, after Brooklyn said this at this time, it is easy to find that the contradictions are becoming more and more acute from the eucalyptus of past experience.

With their size, they are powerless to change this kind of thing for the time being.

Brooklyn saw that David and Thunder looked a little depressed, and began to comfort them in turn.

Lei got up silently, opened the refrigerator and pulled out a bunch of beer.

So, soon the atmosphere at the table was lively. The content of their discussion has also spread from current politics to all over the world.

For a while, a certain Hollywood star is divorced again, and for a while, the new drama of which streaming platform is too bold, and then it is about prices, talking about the past, and reminiscing about childhood.

By the time it was ten o'clock in the evening, the three of them were already slightly drunk.

At the end of dinner, David touched his belly and suddenly remembered that his bag was still at the police station. He was taken to the hospital after being injured in the afternoon, and after receiving the news from Brooklyn, he rushed directly from the hospital and did not go back to the police station to pack his things.

Tomorrow was the weekend, and David had planned to be a patrol officer for the weekend, so he didn't plan to go back to pick up his bag at first, and after Brooklyn's account, he had already walked out of the horns. This weekend he wanted to rest.

Brooklyn was not worried about him driving like this, and was going to go with him, but before he could get in the car, he was driven away by David.

David closed the door, lowered the window, smirked at Brooklyn and Ray, and gave a thumbs up.

"I'll be back soon~"

David said with a big tongue

"Blue, remember to prepare the dishes!"

After saying that, David ignored the worried eyes of the two, started the car, drew twisted curves in the yard, and after almost breaking the fence and almost falling into the house, David poked his head out, grimaced at Brooklyn and Ray, and drove out with a laugh.

"Will he be expelled for that?"

Brooklyn asked.

Lei looked at the direction where the car disappeared and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and when he heard the words, he replied, "I'm looking forward to that day." ”

David's actions in the yard were deliberate, in fact, he drove smoothly, but his mischievous behavior itself showed that he was a little drunk.

"Let's go." Brooklyn pulled Laray: "I'm going to fry a few dishes, and you can see how many beers there are." ”

………………

David drove the window, the night breeze blowing, and his brain gradually woke up from the paralysis of alcohol.

He patted his cheek and looked up at himself in the mirror, feeling a little remorseful.

He could have gone back tomorrow to get the bag, and doing so today not only worries Ray and Blue, but also puts him in danger.

Just as he was about to turn around at the intersection, David suddenly heard a siren behind him, and then two cars whizzed past him.

David was alert when he heard the siren, and reflexively grabbed the console, but he missed it.

Only then did he realize that he was driving his own car, not a police car. Thinking that he had drunk a lot of alcohol, participating in the action in this state was not only irresponsible for himself, but also irresponsible for others, so he silently gave up his intention to participate in it.

The car drove to the intersection, but David, who was about to turn back, stopped again.

Three or five hundred meters ahead of the intersection, there were several police lights flickering, and a roar could be faintly heard from there.

The police car has stopped the offending vehicle and a search is underway.

After thinking about it, David drove the car on.

Before approaching, David lowered the window, took out his ID from the toolbox, and asked about the situation.

After the introduction, David learned that the owner of the car had been detained for hiding product D, and they had just discovered that the owner was speeding, and suspected that the owner might be hiding product D. Therefore, a forced stop check is performed.

As he spoke, the car door had opened, and a middle-aged black man raised his hands and explained to the patrol officer in a trembling voice that he had been speeding when he felt someone shoot at him a few minutes ago.

Naturally, the police did not believe this kind of remark and asked him to get out of the car and cooperate with the search.

The owner of the car raised his hand and obediently got out of the car.

Seeing that the owner of the car cooperated, the police breathed a sigh of relief and began to search.

Soon, a transparent glass tube the thickness of a tail finger was found in the car.

The officer, who had just relaxed, immediately became nervous.

The patrol officer took the jar and asked the owner what the powder was inside.

Faced with questioning, the owner shook his head and claimed that he didn't know what was inside.

"I don't know what it is. What is that? How could it be in my car? ”

The owner of the car looked puzzled, "What's inside?" Can you describe it to me? ”

The patrol officer took the glass tube and showed the car owner, which was white particles and powder, much like mashed balls.

“no，nonono。” The owner shook his head repeatedly: "I can't have this thing in my car." ”

The owner shook his head again and again, with a determined face.

In the face of the negation of the car owner, the patrol officer did not talk too much nonsense, his partner handcuffed the car owner, and he turned around and took out the portable handheld D product detector from the police car, ready for on-site testing.

At this moment, two more police cars rushed over, and the police officers in the cars said that they had received a call for help and came to deal with the police situation.

Several police officers got together and after a short communication, they confirmed the identity of the owner of the car who called the police.

But the tube of white powder in his car still hasn't been explained.

The owner of the car said that he didn't know what it was made of, and he had the criminal experience of hiding D products, which made the police extremely vigilant.

After a short discussion, they decided to test the white powder inside the glass tube.

Just as the police opened the glass tube to extract the sample, the owner of the car suddenly became emotional.

Facing the officer's movements, he shook his head again and again, "What are you going to do?" ”

“nooooo！

You can't do this! ”

"That's my daughter! Please, you can't do this!

！ ”

"Give it back! That's my daughter, that's her ashes! ”

The more the owner talked, the more excited he became, struggling to rush up and grab the glass tube.

Two police officers hurriedly held down the owner of the car, and the other two police officers poured the powder into the kit together and began to test.

The owner of the car who was held down began to cry and beg "No! No, no! Don't do it! That's my daughter! I'm her dad! ”

"I cooperate with your inspection, you can't do this! That's all I have! Please, don't do that! Don't take my daughter! ”

Seeing that the owner of the car was emotional, the two police officers who were in charge of holding him down spoke comfortingly, wanting him to calm down and cooperate with the inspection.

Their appeasement seems to have worked.

The owner's mood calmed down slightly, but he was still asking the police for his glass tube.

"Give me back your daughter, please."

"I just lost her last week, she's only two years old. Give her back to me. Don't let us separate, give it back to me, okay. ”

"Yes, definitely."

The officer was perfunctory.

David heard the owner's words, parked the car to the side, and watched quietly.

Since the car was stopped by the first batch of patrol police, the scene needs to be presided over by the first batch of patrol police, and he, the leader of the murderous team that passed by, and the patrol police who arrived later did not have the leading power to decide.

】

When the patrol officer was holding the glass tube and preparing to carry out the test, the mournful cry of the owner began to be heard from the car.

This made him a little entangled in whether to do this test or not.

The dose of powder in the glass tube is not large, and their portable detector is not as sensitive as the testing equipment in the laboratory, and the demand for samples is large.

But what if what the owner said is true? What if this is really his daughter's ashes?

After hesitating, he subconsciously looked at David.

He couldn't make a choice.

David received a request for help from a colleague, and by this time he had completely sobered up.

After inquiring about the situation, David ordered that the test should not be carried out for the time being, and that the car owner's car should be searched first. If no D product is found, the glass tube is returned to him, and if D or other contraband is found, or the same white powder, another powder can be used instead of testing.

Soon, a large bag of white powder was found from under the back seat of the car, and after testing, it was determined to be product D.

This confirms that the owner of the car did indeed hide the D product.

The owner of the car was taken away, and the two police cars also left, but David was in mixed feelings.

He drove to the headquarters, retrieved the alarm records, and quickly found the owner's information, according to the owner's information, David found more information about the owner.

He did lose his daughter.

His six-year-old daughter died after being shot in the neck during the unrest last weekend.

The cries of the owner rang in David's head.

He said his daughter was only two years old when she died.

David didn't know if the owner deliberately said this to gain sympathy, or if he had a memory problem after the blow, or if he was not mentally normal.

That's not the point, though.

Another piece of information from the owner's profile made David stiffen directly.

According to the information, the owner of the car is an orphan and grew up in a child welfare home. And the name of this welfare home, David, is very familiar.

Angel House Welfare Home!

David looked at the name of the orphanage in a daze, and his whole body began to tremble.

[Haven't you got it yet?] 】

The phone on the desk buzzed and vibrated and a text message from Brooklyn.

David was full of excitement, and reflexively raised his arms to protect his head. Then slowly put it down again.

He grabbed his phone and glanced at the messages.

The warm lighting of the office brings him back to reality.

【Immediately】

David replied with a word, glanced at the information on the screen again with a complicated expression, turned off the system, and turned to leave.

On the way there, David seemed a little distracted, took the wrong way several times, and almost drove the car into someone else's yard.

Finally arriving in Brooklyn and Lei's house, David turned off the car and sat in the dark cab, staring at the building surrounded by lights in a daze.

A drowning feeling of suffocation came up like a tidal wave, gradually drowning him.

David shuddered, pulled the car door, and trotted into the house.

There weren't too many lights on in the room, and the warm yellow mood lighting gave the interior a warm tone. David felt his stiff body ease a lot, and the feeling of suffocation faded like a tide.

"Why is it so long?"

Brooklyn came out of the kitchen with a plate of pork ears in his hand, saw David standing in the doorway, and asked.

These pig ears aren't so easy to get in the Federation. He went to Chinatown to order it from the butcher shopkeeper.

"Huh?" David stomped his feet, took off his coat and walked to the sofa and sat down, "It's nothing, it's delayed on the way." ”

As he spoke, the door opened, and Ray, who had gone out to buy alcohol, came back with four dozen beers.

"Why did you park your car outside?"

Ray put the wine on the table, turned back to close the door, and complained

"It's pitch black, I almost hit it."

Brooklyn brought out a plate of fried hairtail and put it down.

"Night blindness? Night blindness, just eat more fish. ”

"Or I'll take you to Chinatown to eat rats another day. The last time I bought the hot pot, there was a dish made by rats in his house. ”

"I'm not a cat." Ray muttered, took out the beer and handed it to the two of them.

Brooklyn took out the last plate of braised vegetables and put it down, sitting across from David.

The three of them touched and drank.

This time it wasn't as serious as the atmosphere at dinner. The three of them drank wine, tasted Brooklyn's appetizers, and chatted all over the world. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

It's just that David seems to be much more silent.

Brooklyn and Ray glanced at each other, and both saw David's abnormality.

Brooklyn asked, spitting out fish bones

"What's wrong, David?"

"Huh?" David broke away from his state of dispossession and shook his head, "Not much. ”

"On the way to the police station, I met a father whose daughter was shot dead last weekend."

Brooklyn was silent for a moment, and said softly, "David, I'm sorry about last weekend. ”

David shook his head, "You can't be blamed for that. ”

"I know those were done by Frank, not by you. You were still lying in your hospital bed while he was doing this. ”
