"What's the catch there?"

Ethan closed the notebook and looked at Antonio, who was pacing back and forth beside him.

"He asked for a hostage exchange."

Hank clasped his hands to his chest and his cheeks bulged.

Ethan shook his head helplessly, this kind of request, the possibility of the police station agreeing is very small.

Looking at the restless Antonio, Hank said in a deep voice:

"When the octopus man captures Antonio's son, he captures me."

"This is tantamount to declaring war on the intelligence group, on the Chicago Police Department, and we must save Diego at all costs."

Something like this happened, and Erin rushed back from the hospital as well.

She asked wearily, "Any other clues?" ”

"A clue that will lead us to the two gunmen."

"Sheriff."

Horstead stood up, holding a photograph in his hand, and he walked over to the whiteboard and pasted it: "This man's name is Ernest Mipas." ”

"I have an idea, based on the clues we've been searching for so far."

"Basically, it can be judged that Octopus is cleaning Leif this network, and since he wants to clean it, then he must have someone to take Lef's position."

"It's impossible for them to waste their efforts and give up the territory they have won to others."

Horstead patted the picture of that Mipas and continued:

"I checked the list of people who had been released from prison last year, and six years ago he was in charge of selling unique spots on street corners in 15 places between 22nd Street and Kikai Avenue."

"It's very close to Leif now."

"If I were Octopus, this Mipas would be the ideal person to take over."

In the photo, there is a black-haired white man with a beard.

Hank nodded slowly: "You have a point. ”

"Even if he is not a person from Octopus, he must know something, what clues are there about this person?"

Hoststed walked up to Hank and handed him a piece of paper:

"This is the address I found at the post office."

"Well done."

Hank glanced at the address and passed the paper out:

"Get this guy."

"Now as long as we can have something to do with the octopus, we can't let it go."

"Who's on a mission?"

At this time, no one wanted to sit in the office and wait for news, and everyone stood up.

"Good."

Hank looked around, "Then let's all move, we must get Diego back before midnight." ”

I don't remember the first time I went out from the police station today, and Ethan got into the mobile vehicle again.

Only this time, he sat in the back row.

"Do you see Antonio?"

Erin glanced at the rearview mirror and the co-pilot, and said in a muffled voice, "All this is too difficult for him." ”

"First a partner, then his son."

"If all this had happened to me, I wouldn't have known if I would have the strength to stand up again."

Horstead will lower the window and let the air in:

"Did you inform Julie's family?"

"Hmm."

Erin snorted sullenly.

"I'd rather have an exchange of fire with the enemy than do such a thing." Horstead raised and lowered the window irritably: "Facing the tears of my companion's family is more uncomfortable than killing me." ”

"And how did you deal with this kind of thing before?" Erin had apparently cried and spoke in a severely nasal voice.

Horstead wrinkled his nose: "There's no way to deal with it." ”

"No matter what happens, it will happen."

Erin looked in the rearview mirror:

"Newcomer, what about you?"

"I have to say, your marksmanship is very good, and you are very kind, and Inspector Bildon is notoriously bad-tempered."

Ethan, who was also looking at the map, said without looking up:

"Whether he has a good temper or not, it's my business, besides, it's my first time."

Horstead looked back: "What first time?" ”

"Colleagues are dead." Ethan raised his head and furrowed his eyebrows, "Isn't this what you're discussing?" ”

"How so?"

Erin realized that there was something wrong with what she said, and quickly continued: "Sorry, I mean, you're obviously not a newbie, and it seems that you're in luck. ”

"It's the first time you've experienced something like this, and if you want to talk to someone, you have my number."

Ethan looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned:

"If you're worried about my mental state, I'm the last person you need to worry about."

Chicago is full of waterways, and canals large and small can be found everywhere.

Next to the red factory building, there is a small river, and near the intersection, there are several garbage cans.

Two homeless men rummaged through the trash cans, taking a sip of their beer from time to time.

Ethan looked at Olinsky and Rusek, who were dressed as vagabonds in the distance, shook his head and said, "This may be my only drawback, if Hank asked me to do that, I think I would just refuse." ”

"Me too."

Erin furrowed her eyebrows and nodded approvingly.

"You've never been to the battlefield, and the environment is even worse." Hoststed didn't care.

They had been squatting in this place for an hour and a half, and Ethan glanced at his watch, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

There are no new clues from the patrolman's side, and I don't know if it's useful to look for that Mipas here.

I didn't even know if I could squat at that person, and everyone looked anxious.

"Wow."

An electrical noise came over the radio, which caught their attention.

"The target appears."

Hank's voice came from the headset.

Ethan quickly sat up, took the gun in his hand, and opened the doorknob.

Next to the garbage can, Rusek also found the target man.

The man was walking along the river, swaggering in his direction.

Rusek's head was hot, and he casually threw the beer can in the trash and lowered his head to meet it.

"Waterfa."

Hank's voice became angry: "Rusek, what are you doing?" ”

Before he could answer, the target man sensed that something was wrong with the homeless man on the other side, and immediately turned around and ran away.

Rusek hurriedly pulled out the gun from behind his waist: "Chicago police, don't move." ”

"Shet."

Hank's instructions came from the headset: "The target enters the building, everyone acts." ”

The three people in the car quickly got out of the car and ran towards the factory next to it.

Glancing at the abandoned building, Ethan shook his head, turned on the radar, and rushed in through the side door.

Coming inside, looking at the few forks in the road in front of them, they stopped.

"Separate."

Erin let out a low sigh and ran down the middle passage.

Ethan to the right and Horstead to the left, quickly searched inside.

Because of the radar, Ethan moved quickly inside, and what he wanted was to increase the monitoring range.

Footsteps rang out, and Ethan quickly turned the muzzle of his gun.

Erin emerged from the far corner, and the two looked at each other as they searched along the large factory building.

It was full of debris and the view was obstructed.

After taking a few steps forward, Ethan's footsteps suddenly stopped.

On Erin's side, a motionless spot of light appeared.

"Hey."

Ethan shouted anxiously, "Be careful. ”
