Hearing Julie say this, Ethan instantly understood.

In the middle, there is also a struggle for power.

It's just that this police inspector named Baildon is angry with the case, which is a bit tasteless.

At that moment, the phone on Erin's desk rang, and she went over to answer it.

"Adam Rusek."

The man who had just walked up with Olinsky stepped forward and greeted them.

Ethan also found it interesting, and the day after he came, there was a newcomer. “

"Hello, Ethan Morgan."

He shook hands with the Rusek: "Welcome, I only came to BFIPU yesterday. ”

"Really?"

Rusek hurriedly clasped his hand tightly: "What a coincidence, Ethan, maybe we should go out for a drink." ”

Olinsky patted him on the head: "Maybe you should call him Detective." ”

"Detective?"

Rusek stopped shaking in surprise and quickly let go of his hand.

"I have a new clue here."

Erin put down the phone and walked quickly to the whiteboard, she glanced at the record sheet in her hand, picked up a large pen and added: "According to the call records of the deceased Leif and Cooper." ”

"Yesterday only the same number contacted the two of them, it was a pre-recharged disposable mobile phone, and the signal was gone."

"The source of the purchase has been clarified, it was purchased at a mobile phone store in Greek City."

"Good."

Hank patted her on the arm: "You take Ethan to check, he just came to Chicago and needs to be more familiar with the neighborhood." ”

"I'm driving."

Erin looked at Ethan, and there were some chips crumbs at the corners of her mouth.

"I don't have a problem with you flying the plane."

Ethan returned to his seat and picked up his coat, and the python in the black leather holster was also grabbed and pinned to his waist.

As she drove to Greektown, Erin glanced at him from time to time.

"If you have any questions, just ask."

Ethan spent the whole time comparing the streets with a map on his phone, trying to get a clear idea of the location as soon as possible.

"How did you meet Hank?" Erin asked decisively.

"Cafe."

Ethan looked at the map in his hand and replied nonchalantly, "On a stormy, sunny night, I was drinking with him and three beautiful girls. ”

The car fell silent for a moment, and Ethan noticed that Erin's fingers holding the steering wheel were flushing white.

The corners of his mouth turned up: "Is there anything else you want to ask?" ”

"You don't want to talk about Hank and you, I understand."

Erin gritted her teeth: "I'm not inquiring into your privacy, but we will work together in the future and need to know you well." ”

"Hank said you were his adopted daughter." Ethan put down his phone and asked curiously:

"What's going on here?"

"Ahem."

Erin coughed lightly and said unnaturally, "Let's get to know each other slowly." ”

"I've got some information about the shopkeeper here, and I might be able to use it later."

She took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Ethan:

"You take a look first."

The car soon arrived at the place, Erin found a spot to stop the car, and the two walked to the mobile phone store.

"Ha, nice figure, chick."

There was an open space next to the mobile phone shop, where several people were repairing their cars, and one of them, Longhair, was holding a wrench and whistling at Erin.

Erin spread her hands, rolled her eyes, and walked forward.

Glancing at the long hair, Ethan showed off the police badge: "Is there anything else you want to say?" ”

"Nope."

The long-haired man raised his hands and said in a funny voice, "Information has been received, officer." ”

Several others laughed.

"Let's go."

Erin shook her head at him.

Ethan glared at Longhair and walked forward.

Standing at the door of the mobile phone store, Erin pouted and said, "We often meet people who don't like the police, and this kind of verbal provocation is commonplace. ”

"If everyone is more serious, you won't be able to keep busy."

"Understood."

Ethan nodded, reached out and pushed the door open, the door frame hitting the brass bell above it with a crisp sound.

The mobile phone store is not big, and the shelves behind the counter are full of various mobile phone accessories.

A white man in a red sweater, standing at the counter, saw two men come in and asked:

"Good afternoon, what do you need?"

"Chicago Police Department."

Ethan lifted his coat and showed his badge and pistol: "Someone bought a pre-loaded phone in your store yesterday, and we want to know about that person." ”

Erin took a note from her pocket and pressed it on the counter: "Here's the number." ”

"Okay, wait a minute."

The man in red glanced at the number and typed it in front of the computer: "That's right, I did buy it from me." ”

"According to the purchase records it was a man named Juan García, paid in cash."

Erin knocked on the counter, "Can you provide more leads?" ”

"I'm sorry."

The man in red raised his hands and said nonchalantly, "I'm not in charge of background checks here. ”

"That's right." Erin smiled:

"But it's too common to be a real name, and maybe if I go out and shout Juan, a few people will answer me, and it won't help me."

"That's none of the business with me."

The man in red impatiently picked up the note and reached out to hand it to Erin: "This is your job, not mine, I have already given you the answer you want." ”

Erin and Ethan glanced at each other, and Ethan took the piece of paper out of his pocket:

"You're Glenn Pearson, right?"

Ethan looked at the photo above and compared it with the person in front of him: "The owner of this shop." ”

The shopkeeper nodded: "That's right." ”

"Coincidentally, on this piece of paper, I recorded a man named Glenn Pearson."

Ethan flicked the paper with his hand and made a crunch:

"According to the information above, this person is in Gary, Indiana, and has been charged with fraud for selling stolen goods."

"Really?"

Erin took the paper and pretended to look at it, "Shet, there's a fine of twenty-five thousand dollars involved, which is a lot of money. ”

The shopkeeper pretended to be calm, but his eyes were starting to get flustered.

"What do you think?"

Ethan leaned behind Erin and looked at the paper while looking at the shopkeeper, "Height, weight, eye color, I think it's the same person." ”

"Do you think we need to apply for an arrest warrant?"

"I don't know."

Erin clasped her hands to her chest, shook her head and smiled, "I don't like to make hasty decisions, especially for people who can help us, you know, Indiana, that's really none of our business." ”

"I have a hidden camera here, and I'll help you find a picture of the person who bought the phone."

The shopkeeper completely surrendered: "Is this okay?" ”

"Great, thank you."

Erin took the note and smiled sweetly at the shopkeeper.
