He turned to the side and tapped his finger at the closet.

Everyone else would notice and scattered.

Ethan curled his fingers and slammed on the closet door.

"Bang."

Inside the closet, there was immediately a collision.

The others quickly raised their guns in unison, all aimed at the wardrobe.

"Female... Chicago Police Department, you're surrounded. ”

Ethan almost didn't shout: "Put down the gun in your hand, don't do anything stupid." ”

"Don't shoot."

Through the closet, a panicked voice was heard.

Ethan reached for the handle, quickly opened the closet door, and then ducked sideways.

There was no conflict, and the people inside didn't make any stupid moves.

Go back to the middle and look inside the closet.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old little black man, with his hands high, looked at the five or six barrels in front of him in horror.

"Julie."

Hank put the gun down: "Take the man back and see what he knows." ”

Xiao Hei in the closet, his hands were clean, his face was frightened, it was obvious that he was not the murderer, but the person who had taken refuge here.

The short-haired blonde detective Julie took off the handcuffs from behind her waist and stepped forward to handcuff Xiao Hei.

"Well done."

Hank reached out to Ethan, and the two exchanged fists.

Everyone else tapped Ethan on the shoulder and smiled at him.

He carried the AR15 to the bathroom he had just passed, and there was blood on the ground, and a corpse was leaning against the bathtub, its head had been cut off and thrown into the sink next to it.

"Decapitation."

Antonio stood beside him, pouted and said:

"This is a unique method of the independence group, and the person just now should not be simple."

I searched the room and didn't find anything useful.

After searching the apartment building with the patrol for more than ten minutes, they found nothing, and they took the little black found at the crime scene back to the police station.

Naturally, someone else will take over the on-site processing.

Back at the police station, Ethan and Erin escorted Xiao Hei upstairs.

"Antonio, Horstead, you two stay."

Hank beckoned, calling the two of them aside.

He clasped his hands to his chest, first at Antonio, then at Horstead: "Have you ever heard of a sentence?" ”

"Ten percent of the police do 90 percent of the work."

"Yes."

Horstead thought for a moment and put his hands in his pockets: "I've heard that. ”

"Our intelligence group belongs to the 10 percent." Hank moved his feet, facing Horstead:

"I appreciate your aggressiveness."

"But my order to you is to go undercover to buy a unique product, to observe the situation, and I said clearly and loudly that you are not allowed to step on the threshold."

Hosted's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to meet Hank's gaze directly, and lowered his head slightly.

"If you had gone in."

Hank took a step closer and said solemnly, "Based on what happened in the room, what do you think are the chances that you and Erin will make it out alive?" ”

Horstead bit his lip and nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant.

"You recommended him to join the group."

Hank looked at Antonio again, "You've got to watch him, okay?" ”

"Alright, go up and ask the kid for any clues."

"Okay."

Antonio nodded slightly, and after Hank walked towards the equipment room with his gun, he patted Horstead: "Sheriff is right, he's not just nervous Irene. ”

"Whatever we do, we must put our own lives first."

"That's what the plan is about."

Ethan and Erin led Blackie upstairs and turned right along their seats.

Only then did I find out that it was the interrogation room.

Pressing Xiao Hei to his seat, Erin explained that Ethan was optimistic about him, and left the interrogation room without any communication with him.

Ethan had not done much interrogation before, and had generally solved problems violently.

He knew that he was not good at this, so he quietly accompanied Xiao Hei.

After ten minutes, Antonio and Julie opened the door and nodded to him.

Ethan got up and left, heading to the observation room across the wall.

There was a whole wide one-way pane of glass, and the people in the interrogation room couldn't see it.

"Hey."

Only Hank was in the observation room, and Ethan greeted him, then pulled a barstool and sat down:

"What about Olinsky?"

"I'm going to the police academy." Hank said helplessly:

"Horstead is not suitable for undercover work, today is not the first time something has happened, I asked Olinsky to find the right person."

"Hmm."

Ethan nodded, not speaking again.

"I've heard that Leif is looking for someone to run errands."

Their position was facing the person being interrogated, Xiao Hei looked at Julie and said nervously, "Help him buy cigarettes, rice, lottery tickets and the like." ”

"I went there today to see if I could get a job."

"Uh-huh."

Julie smiled gently: "You did a good job, continue to tell what happened." ”

Seeing her smile, Xiao Hei's mood also relaxed a little.

"While we were talking, there was a knock on the door outside, and an argument ensued."

"I was scared, so I hid in the closet."

Antonio, who was sitting on the side, sorted out the documents in his hand, took out a piece of paper, and pushed it in front of Xiao Hei.

He reached out and tapped on the paper, "We have your name." ”

"De Anthony, we know you're in league with Reif."

"Tell me honestly, did he provoke anyone, or did anyone want to take action against him?"

Xiao Hei had been lying on the table, and after hearing Antonio's words, he pursed his mouth, his hands were clenched tightly, and his eyes were hesitant.

Julie stepped forward: "Did you see what happened to Leif?" ”

"Nope."

Xiao Hei trembled all over, with tears in his eyes: "But I heard it." ”

"Are you okay?"

Seeing his trembling hands, Julie reached over and patted the back of Xiao Hei's hand.

"I'm fine."

Xiao Hei sniffed and retracted the hand that had been touched.

"What the hell did you hear?" Antonio tapped on the notebook: "You know that so far, we have been very good to you, is there anything we should know?" ”

The two of them, one white-faced and the other red-faced, sang and harmonized.

"There were three of them."

Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I don't understand what I said, it should be Spanish." ”

Julie nodded: "Have you seen what they look like?" ”

"No, I'm hiding in the cupboard."

"Did they mention any names?"

"I don't know if that counts."

Xiao Hei thought for a moment: "Leif keeps shouting the name Eight Claws. ”

Ethan noticed that when Blackie mentioned the name Octopus, Antonio and Julie immediately looked at each other.

Obviously, the two of them knew about this murderer named Eight Claws.

"Let's go."

When asked about the key clues, Hank was not interested in looking any further, and beckoned Ethan to leave the observation room together.
