Ethan stirred his coffee and made a gesture of listening.

"There were still a few people at the time, and we lived together." Erin's eyes flashed, and she said in a muffled voice:

"Charlie was taking care of us all the time at that time."

"We were like a family, and then something happened and we got into some trouble."

Hank stepped forward.

Erin turned around and looked at Hank's office next to him: "Maybe he thought I was still alive and decided to pull me out of the street." ”

"In exchange, Charlie had to leave Chicago and leave Illinois."

"Only then will I be able to get out of my previous environment."

No wonder I thought that person was a little gangster last night, it turned out that so long ago, he was a gangster leader.

It is estimated that Charlie has not been idle for so many years.

"Sounds like he's responsible." Ethan nodded and continued to ask, "Then why did he come back?" ”

"I don't know."

Erin shook her head, and hurriedly said, "Listen, I'll solve this matter alone." ”

"You don't have to tell Hank, can you?"

"Absolutely." Ethan picked up his glass and gestured to Hank, who was standing in the doorway, "But he already heard, tell him yourself." ”

Seeing Erin's depressed face, Ethan took a sip of coffee.

"Bastard."

Erin kicked her in frustration, and he easily dodged it.

Leaving the two adoptive fathers and daughters to discuss things, Ethan smiled and walked out of the pantry and returned to his seat.

It was said that it was eight o'clock, but in fact it was not until seven fifty o'clock, and all the personnel were assembled, and not only that, but Burgess and Atwater were also called up.

The Aragonese Ballroom held such a celebration must have been accompanied by the presence of a patrol officer.

Hank will definitely have to replace himself to facilitate the follow-up operation.

People here are all carrying guns, and when the time comes, it's not good to have a few accidents.

"Everyone." Antonio stood in front of the whiteboard and tapped with his pen on the photo he had just printed: "This is Francisco Heredia." ”

Above the photo, it is an old man with a white beard, bald head, and obvious bags under his eyes.

"He is involved in a number of cases of trafficking in independence." Antonio touched his earrings and said solemnly, "However, he is not our target. ”

"Our goal is Muñoz."

As he explained the situation, Ethan sat down at Hostett's table and looked back and forth.

Erin had a sad look on her face, but it had nothing to do with the current case, and she looked preoccupied.

After yesterday's release, Sumner is now in good spirits and no longer seems to be affected by what happened before.

Burgess looked at the picture of Muñoz on the whiteboard, looking a little nervous, his hands clenched tightly, obviously not recovering from the last beating.

The gaze continued to move, stopping at one person's face.

Jean stared blankly at the ground, unaware of where the fugue had gone.

Although he is only in charge of intelligence support, he used to be in high spirits when talking about cases, but now he has become weak.

"Alright, that's it."

Antonio slapped his palms and retracted his attention: "It's a very big celebration and there will be a lot of people coming. ”

"Everyone must be careful not to accidentally injure civilians."

"Get ready." Hank took the call, he raised his hand and looked at his watch: "In five minutes, everyone will go." ”

"Jean."

He beckoned again: "Come to my office." ”

Jean nodded hurriedly and followed Hank inside.

The crowd moved, and Antonio crossed Ethan and grabbed Olinsky: "Erwin, you wait a while. ”

He scratched at the stud earrings and said apologetically:

"I'm so sorry about what happened last night, I shouldn't have yelled at you, I lost my temper."

"Hey." Olinsky shrugged:

"You don't have to be sorry about that, understand?"

"Hmm"

Antonio nodded, looking embarrassed.

"I know how you feel, really." Olinsky took off the twisted candy and said in a deep voice: "I have experienced this kind of thing. ”

"Come on!"

Olinsky reached out again and put his arms around Antonio's neck, and kissed him on the forehead: "I love you, you know that." ”

This move made Antonio shy for a while.

He shook his head with a smile and patted Olinsky on the back before leaving.

"Hey, hey, hey."

Olinsky hurriedly grabbed him: "You can't do this to me, you have to say it back, otherwise it will look like an idiot." ”

“OK、OK！”

Antonio raised his hands and said seriously: "Erwin, I love you too. ”

"Poof!"

Ethan couldn't help but laugh out loud, breaking the good friend of them.

"Hey, what's your problem?"

Erin spread her hands and said dissatisfiedly: "How touching this scene is! ”

It's okay if she doesn't say it, but when she says this, Antonio and Olinsky look even more embarrassed, and immediately look at Rusek on the side.

"Okay."

The others had already gone downstairs, so Rusek stepped forward and patted the two of them: "I love you two too." ”

"Hahaha, so do I."

Erin laughed and hooked up with a few of them, "I love you bastards too. ”

Only one man sat alone, and all four of them twisted their heads.

"Don't even think about it."

Ethan raised his middle finger and circled it: "I never said this, and I don't plan to say it in the future." ”

"Please."

"Are you serious?"

"Never?"

"Do you have a flaw in expressing your feelings?"

Anyway, everyone is embarrassed, and now it is equivalent to everyone not being embarrassed.

It was Ethan's words that shocked everyone.

"Didn't even say anything about it?"

Rusek shook his hands in bewilderment, and Ethan's lack of expression of emotion was more surprising than the emotional expression of Olinsky and Antonio just now.

"Smack."

Erin quickly patted Rusek's arm and looked at Ethan uneasily.

"It's okay, I don't care."

Ethan smiled and waved his hand: "I just don't like to say it, let's go, it's time to take Muñoz down." ”

The Grand Theater of Aragon.

Ethan pinched a hot dog and took a big bite, which was bread sandwiched between the sausages and drizzled with yellow mustard and ketchup.

According to your taste, some pickled cucumbers are also added.

As he ate, he surveyed the crowd nearby.

People come and go, all with happy smiles.

There are stalls inside, including balloon hunting, selling dolls, and spinning swings for children.

It's not so much a celebration as a big gathering.

If it weren't for the statue of Jesus on the stage in the distance, it would be impossible to see what this was doing. (End of chapter)
