After a small talk, the atmosphere in the Chase room was lively.

Horstead and the others expressed their disdain for Russec's drinking.

Rusek's parry was powerless, so he could only raise his hands in recognition.

Olinsky inquired curiously about the situation last night, and laughed when he heard that Rusek had just walked out of the nightclub and vomited wildly, and then almost vomited on the mobile vehicle.

Interestingly, Ethan knew they must have been very curious about their finances.

But no one mentioned it, and they held their curiosity firmly without any doubts.

After all, it's a very personal matter, and they're all very discreet.

The scene of commotion did not stop until Hank walked out of the office.

"Get down to business."

Hank clapped his hands, "What did you gain last night?" ”

Ethan looked at the few of them, and Erin tidied up her things and walked to the corner.

"We had a lot of luck last night."

She pushed the whiteboard over and pasted two photos: "This is Badman and Stockley, both of whom have a history of robbery and trafficking." ”

"Together, they run a car repair shop."

Ethan had an impression of the two black men, and they sat next to Snyder last night.

"Given Snyder's background."

Erin patted the photo: "It's normal for him to have this kind of person around him, it should be his subordinates." ”

"But there was one person who appeared very strangely."

Erin picked up another photo and pasted it on the whiteboard, this time a black woman, like an ID photo.

"I remember this man."

Ethan nodded with his pen and asked, "She didn't stay long, she said a few words to Snyder and left." ”

"What's so special about her?"

"You have a very good memory." The corners of Erin's mouth turned up, but she thought of something, and her face turned cold: "This woman's name is Connie." ”

"No criminal record, only one traffic violation, and a very clean background."

"Interestingly, this Connie is a staff member of the Department of Children and Family Services."

Everyone gasped and looked at each other.

A staff member of the Department of Children and Family Services and a criminal who uses children to transport unique goods meet up in a late-night nightclub.

The two of them can never be as simple as chatting, and the things in between are chilling.

"This woman is the target of key surveillance."

Hank's hoarse voice rang out, and he looked at Antonio: "Find a way to find her private number, apply to the court, and investigate her call logs." ”

"Roger." Antonio clenched his pencil.

"Any other clues worth following upon?" Hank looked at Erin again.

"That's all for now."

Erin returned to her place and sat down.

"That's how it's arranged now." Hank gave the task: "Olinsky, Rusek, the two of you are watching around the garage and observing the anomaly. ”

"Ethan, Irene, follow Connie."

"Horstead, you and I follow Snyder, and everyone gets moving."

Half an hour later, Erin drove her car outside the Department of Children and Family Services building and stopped in the shade of a tree.

Connie's car, parked right in front of the side, was a silver BMW.

Looking at the model, it is not very expensive.

The income of a normal Child and Family Services staff member can also drive such a car, but this is not normal.

The reason is very simple, does a person with a daily salary of 100 have the ability to spend 50 on a meal?

Of course there is, but that's not the right choice.

This Connie's economic conditions must be very well-off.

The two of them watched quietly, and Erin didn't speak, she was in a little wrong mood today.

"Do you want it?" Ethan pulled beef jerky out of his pocket.

"No, you don't."

Erin refused succinctly, her expression cold.

"What's wrong with you?" Idle is idle, Ethan slowly chews on beef jerky.

"It's okay, I'm sorry."

Everyone is a colleague, and Erin realizes that her emotions are not right and smiles lightly.

"Don't be sorry."

Ethan stared out the window: "We're also temporary partners, so you might as well tell me something." ”

"Do you have family?" Erin said silently.

"That's what you asked." Ethan choked up: "Make it hard for me to answer." ”

"I'm sorry."

Erin quickly explained, "I mean, how are you doing with your family?" ”

"It's sad." Ethan shook his head:

"I thought you weren't happy to see me and the two girls coming home last night, but you asked me this."

A subtle crunch sounded.

Ethan looked back and saw Erin gritting her teeth.

"Sorry, liven up the atmosphere." The corners of Ethan's mouth turned up: "I have a good relationship with my family, they float on it, and I walk on the ground." ”

"People don't interfere with each other."

"Huh?"

Erin looked confused.

He sighed, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just me, understand?" ”

There was silence in the car, and after a few minutes, Erin said quietly:

"I'm pretty much the same."

"Huh?"

This time it was Ethan's turn to look confused, almost how much worse, yes yes, no yes, no yes, this can be about the same.

But thinking that she was an adopted daughter, Ethan reacted.

Erin changed her words: "Do you know why Hank didn't join the action last night?" ”

"Small actions, it is not necessary for everyone to be there."

Ethan pulled out another beef jerky: "Didn't Olinsky come too?" ”

"His son."

Erin shook her head: "Justin is out of prison." ”

"That's a good thing." Ethan didn't know about this, but it was Hank's family affair, and it was normal for him to be reluctant to talk about it.

Knowing that she might be touching the scene, Ethan grabbed her hand and felt cold to the touch:

"Don't be upset."

"I believe that your biological parents must still be alive, you are so good, they must also be good people."

Irene's hand retracted like an electric shock.

She smiled awkwardly, "I don't think it's very likely." ”

At this moment, a black woman in her thirties walked briskly down the steps from the front door of the Welfare Department.

"The target appears."

Ethan recognized Connie at a glance, wearing a long trench coat and carrying a handbag.

From the walking posture, it can be seen that this is a confident and successful working woman, and it is impossible to see that such a person can do such a dirty thing behind the scenes.

The BMW soon started up and left the Welfare Department.

Erin waited a few seconds and quickly turned the steering wheel.

Ethan glanced at the BMW in front of him, then looked down at the information in his hand.

Connie's job is to find suitable foster homes for children whose families are in particularly bad circumstances and whose guardians are unable to fulfill their obligations.

For example, one parent is in prison, the other is an addict, and there are no reliable relatives.

They will forcibly take the child away and change the living environment.

Until the guardian proves that he has the ability and conditions to carry out normal upbringing.

If they guessed correctly, Connie used her power to pick the right target for the silencer.

The main question now is where are the children.

With such a person helping, there are more than five or six children involved.

With so many people, it is difficult to hide them perfectly, and there will definitely be clues.

"Wait, no matter where she goes."

Ethan looked at Erin and said in a deep voice, "You have to pass where she goes, and try to get as close to the side of the road as possible." ”

This request is somewhat inexplicable.

However, Erin nodded and kept up with the silver BMW in front of her.
