The wooden floor creaked, and the big back in a black jacket came out of the next room.

"Mouse."

The man in the jacket spread his hands and smiled on his lips: "Say, what can your friend bring me." ”

Noticing the comer, Ethan suddenly felt bad and quietly stepped back.

It's just that the living room is so big, there is no place to dodge at all.

And the big back on the other side also looked at the strangers who came to his house for the first time.

The eyes of the two people collided like this.

The big back is the Charlie from last time.

Erin, the leader of the theft team when she was a child, was the one who had been away from Chicago for more than ten years under the threat of Hank because she had caused trouble.

Ethan put his hands behind his back, his heart secretly bad.

The two have only met once, hoping that the other party will not recognize them.

"Hello." Horstead took a step forward: "I have what you need in my hands, I don't know what price you can give?" ”

"Something?"

Charlie looked back and forth at several people in the living room, and asked unhurriedly, "I'm sorry, what do you mean by what you said?" ”

"Detonators, fuses."

Horstead said in a deep voice: "I can find it, it depends on whether your price is suitable or not." ”

"Really?" Charlie's eyebrows furrowed:

"Why do you think I need these things?"

This unexpected answer, the mouse suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "Charlie, please, the people I brought here are all clean." ”

"Uh-huh, you're right." Charlie looked at the mouse with a sneer:

"Clean, we're all clean."

This yin and yang weird appearance, everyone present can notice that something is wrong.

Ethan sighed softly, this handsome face is trouble, too easy to recognize.

He simply stopped pretending and walked straight to Charlie:

"Charlie, is there anything you want to tell us?"

"This detective." Charlie smiled and said, "No, to be honest, I don't know why you came to me. ”

"But I can confirm that I don't have what you want."

"Are you sure?" Ethan raised an eyebrow.

"Pretty sure." Charlie didn't have the slightest fear in his eyes, and continued to smile: "In other ways, we're friends too, aren't we?" ”

"By the way, remember to say hello to Erin for me when you go back."

"Damn it."

He smashed his mouth and said with a sigh: "You don't know what kind of stunner Irene was when she was sixteen or seventeen years old. ”

"You're right."

Ethan happily stretched out his hand and put it on Charlie's shoulder: "A friend of a friend, and a friend of mine." ”

"Bang."

The fist slammed out like lightning and slammed into Charlie's stomach.

"Oh~~~"

Charlie's mouth let out a meaningless cry of pain, his face turned red, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.

A punch went down, causing him to bend over.

Ethan pushed it again, and Charlie fell to the ground heavily, saliva running down the corners of his mouth.

"Remember to wipe your mouth clean before you speak." Glancing at him, Ethan stepped directly over Charlie, whose face was full of pain, and walked out of the house.

This sudden turn of events frightened the others.

Horsted, though confused, hurriedly followed.

Now it is clear that the identity has been revealed, and there is no point in staying, even if you search the house, what you find has no effect.

"Why would he know you're a police detective?"

As soon as he went downstairs, the mouse asked excitedly, "And Erin, who is Erin?" ”

"It's my partner." Following Ethan to the parking place, Horstead explained casually and looked at Ethan: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"He's an old friend of Erin's."

Ethan frustrated and threw a cigarette into his mouth, lit the fire and said, "I met him when he went to the police station to look for Erin before. ”

"It's all my fault, I'm too handsome."

"Now that he recognizes him, there is no way."

Rusek staggered and hurriedly asked, "Then what do we do now?" ”

Horstead was also puzzled, he believed that there would be nothing wrong with the mouse's message, but it was Erin's friend.

"Don't talk about this yet."

Ethan exhaled smoke and said helplessly, "I'll ask Erin first when I go back before making a decision." ”

No wonder that guy looks sad, she must have nothing to do with this Charlie, but I don't know how deep Erin stepped on it.

Just solved Jean's troubles, but I didn't expect Erin to connect directly and seamlessly.

"Okay."

Horstead sighed and nodded.

In this situation, this can only be done like this, let's figure things out first.

"Hey, what do I do then?"

The mouse waved his hands excitedly and ran to everyone: "Please, don't let me not exist." ”

"Those guys might get me in trouble."

"Don't pretend, the informant fee has run out." Horstead rolled his eyes at him, "It looks like those people can really pose a threat to you." ”

When the same company comes out, the level of the other party is clear to itself.

"Okay."

The mouse took off his knitted hat and scratched his messy hair: "Damn, I knew it wouldn't do you any good." ”

Send the rats back and they go back to the police station.

"Ethan."

As he was about to go upstairs, Jean poked his head out of the garage entrance and beckoned to him.

"What's wrong?"

Ethan limped and walked over.

"There's one thing I feel I need to tell you." Jean had a solemn expression and said softly, "Not long ago, Erin found me and asked me to do her a favor. ”

"She told me not to tell anyone, but I think you need to know about it."

"What's the matter?" Ethan's eyebrows furrowed.

"She told me to hack into the city planning bureau." Jean continued: "Get her an architectural blueprint for a jewelry store inside. ”

"Fake."

Ethan scolded in a low voice and patted him on the shoulder: "You did the right thing, I'll talk to her." ”

First the explosives, then Charlie, and finally the blueprints.

No need to guess, know what's going on.

He walked briskly upstairs, but he didn't see Erin, and Nadia sat leisurely in the pantry.

"Where is she?"

Ethan looked at Horstead, who shrugged.

In the sheriff's office, Hank was the only one there, Ethan pushed open the pantry and asked anxiously, "Hasn't Erin come back yet?" ”

"I'm back."

Nadia pointed to the coffee stain on the table: "She just accidentally got on her body, saying that she was going to change her clothes." ”

Immediately turning around, he hurried downstairs to the locker room.

Walk past the rows of blue lockers to Erin's closet.

On the bench, there is a coat.

In the shower room inside, there was a faint sound of running water.
