Two hours later, the group led by Ethan walked out of the office building.

The entire building was searched floor by floor, but no trace of Payne was found, and with the radar scanning, nothing was found.

In desperation, BFIPU had no choice but to withdraw.

The rest of the matter was left to others to deal with, and the bomb disposal team began to enter the site, and they had to search and deal with the entire building again.

Although no one was caught, Director Perry had a good face.

Although there was still an explosion, all the hostages were saved, and the only one who was injured was in a hurry to go downstairs.

That alone is a great credit.

However, the people of the intelligence group were holding back a fire, and their own people were blown up and almost reimbursed.

Ethan turned his head and looked at the office building surrounded by patrol officers, squinting his eyes, not knowing how Payne had escaped, or where he had hid and couldn't find it.

This guy has been plotting here for a month.

The head of security learned that Payne had applied for a security job here a month ago with his police qualifications.

Because of his age, he is in charge of night patrols.

It was for this reason that it was convenient for him to do it, and this guy had been surveying for a month.

As for how to escape, I must have known it for a long time.

After 20 years as a Chicago police officer, Payne should still be very familiar with the standard search process, and it undoubtedly adds a lot of difficulty to their work.

"Boss."

Erin walked over and took out a tissue from her pocket, "Wipe your face." ”

"Thank you."

Ethan squeezed out a smile and took the tissue and wiped it off his face.

Dust and sweat.

Patches of stains on the face, wiped casually with a white tissue, and it became gray and black.

"Thank you."

Russec smiled and held out his hand as he saw Erin walk by.

"You're welcome."

Erin shrugged her shoulders and clapped her hands with him.

"Poof."

Seeing this, Atwater smiled and scratched his head.

Awkwardly withdrawing his hand, Rusek glared at Atwater, who pulled up the hem of his shirt and wiped it a few times on his face.

"Smack."

Ethan threw away the tissue and slapped his palm.

The others gathered around him and stood in front of him.

"I don't need to explain the current situation again." Ethan crossed his hands on his hips and said in a deep voice, "Director Perry has entrusted the task of capturing Payne to our intelligence team. ”

"His family, his friends, his colleagues, all turned me upside down."

"It doesn't matter who it is, it doesn't matter if it's someone in the police station or not."

"And the casinos he's been to, all the people he's been able to reach, even if they're friends from childhood, you're going to have to find out and talk to each other and ask where Payne might be hiding."

"If someone doesn't cooperate, call me as soon as possible."

Scratching his ears, which were still a little chirping, he looked at everyone: "What we need to do is to dig out this mouse." ”

"Understood."

A group of people responded at the same time, murderous.

Two days later, BFIPU.

All of them stood solemnly, all dressed in formal uniforms and wearing large-brimmed hats.

Russec stood next to Erin, an envious gaze cast from the opposite side, he straightened his back even more, not only the intelligence group, but also Pratt and Hank were watching from the scene.

"In the bomb hostage-taking incident two days ago."

Perry said to everyone present: "The heroic actions of these three police officers saved the lives of thirteen citizens of this city, and because of their efforts, thirteen families were able to be reunited. ”

"Here, on behalf of the Chicago Police Department, I present the Medal of Honor to all three of them."

"Bang bang."

"Shhhhh

"Yay~ Well done."

The crowd burst into applause, Atwater waved his arms enviously, and Antonio whistled vigorously.

It's not a formal occasion and the atmosphere is lighthearted.

In fact, according to the normal process of this kind of thing, the Chicago Police Department needs to set up a commendation dinner, and will invite reporters to come.

The police officers who received the commendation will attend with their families to share the joy.

But since Hank's time, he has set a rule, everything in the intelligence group is handled in a low-key manner, and any news interviews and public appearances can be avoided, and Ethan also doesn't like high-profile people, so he continues this rule.

Therefore, they only held a simple ceremony in the chase room on the second floor of the police station.

"Officer Adam Rusek."

Director Perry picked up a medal from the box his aides were holding: "Thank you for your dedication and dedication to Chicago." ”

"Thank you."

Rusek bowed his head slightly, and asked Perry to hang the medal around his neck.

The two shook hands, and he walked back excitedly.

"Detective Erin Lindsay."

Director Perry repeated the process and shook Erin's hand, "Thank you for your dedication and dedication to Chicago. ”

"Thank you."

Erin grinned and grabbed the medallion, squeezed her fist at Nadia, who was standing at the back, and looked happily at the corner next to her.

Hank's serious face was also full of smiles.

Seeing Erin get commended, Hank's current state is happier than being commended.

"Sheriff Ethan Morgan."

Director Perry looked at the last man, a smile on his swarthy face.

"Thank you."

Ethan walked over and accepted the honor unceremoniously.

"You deserve it."

Perry helped Ethan bring the medal, and his heart was full of emotion.

When he was his age, he was still copying tickets all over the street, looking at the girls on the side of the road.

"Huh."

The three of them stood together and saluted cleanly to everyone present.

When the clapping stopped, Ethan winked at Perry, "Director, isn't there any actual reward?" ”

"Take it out, I've seen it all."

"You guy." Perry shook his head with a smile and took out the three envelopes in the box: "There are five thousand yuan in cash in each, which is a reward from the company of the office building to the three of you, one for each person." ”

Erin and Rusek took the envelope and smiled from ear to ear.

Ethan pinched the thin envelope, the corners of his mouth twitching.

It's too stingy, if something really happens, the company will lose millions of dollars, to say the least.

Now, it's only fifteen thousand.

"Huh!"

The envelope in his hand flew out and fell into Antonio's arms: "In the future, if there are more than three people in the group who go to Morley's Bar, they can use this money until they drink it up." ”

"Oh!!"

"It's amazing."

The crowd cheered, and the atmosphere was even more lively than before, almost tearing off the roof.

This is what makes everyone have a share and everyone is happy.

"Hahaha, I knew you would do it." Antonio happily slapped the envelope in his hand, took off his large-brimmed hat and threw the money in.

Russec and Erin glanced at each other and quietly slipped the money into their pockets.

They are no better than Ethan, a big tycoon, who has almost a month's salary, but Olinsky still has his eyes on the two of them, and under the coercion of everyone, they took out five hundred dollars in distress and scraped together a drink money.

Regardless of the gang's fuss, Ethan walked back to the office.

The medal was untied and thrown away.

The ribbon hung on a columnar hanger and wobbled.

The two men who came in from behind twitched their eyes, but decided to ignore the scene.

"Sit down."

Ethan pulled out his leather office chair and sat down.

Seeing the furnishings in the office, Hank had a toothache, and compared to now, he used to be like staying in a kennel.

During this time, Ethan successively purchased some items.

In the corner of the desk, there was a vase full of colorful flowers, which made Perry greedy for a while, and as the chief of the bureau, he could only shake his head.

But if you can't compare, you all know that this is a rich man.

"Do you have any news?"

Ethan played with the lighter and exchanged information with them.

Not only the intelligence team, but even the people of the violent crime team, as well as Perry, are trying to find a way to find Payne's whereabouts, there is no way, this person is too dangerous, he is from the bomb disposal team, and he has a great grudge against the police department.

If you don't catch him soon, I don't know what will happen next time.

It's just that Payne has been a policeman for 20 years, and his sense of anti-reconnaissance is particularly strong, and in the past two days, the intelligence team has not gained anything.

"Nope."

Director Perry shook his head and looked at Hank.

The latter also shook his head helplessly, spread his hands and said: "People who can stay in an elevator for two days are not so easy for us to find." ”

After the three of them communicated the follow-up direction together, Hank and Perry left one after another.

The nerves should not collapse too tightly, and they should be relaxed appropriately.

In the evening, in order to celebrate the recognition of the intelligence group, the six thousand dollars that had been scraped together before quickly came in handy.

Molly's Bar, a group of people sitting together.

Ethan took a sip of bourbon, saw Russec come in alone, and put down the glass: "Isn't Olinsky coming?" ”

Just now, the two of them went together to gather intelligence.

"I'll be here later."

Horstead stood up and let Russec in, who continued: "He's going to see an informant. ”

"Bang."

A few wine glasses, bumped into each other.

Everyone drank wine together and chatted about some things in life.

Tonight, at the pull of Irene, Nadia also came to celebrate together, and she sat silently in the corner drinking wine and listening to the words of several people.

In front of criminals, these people are intelligence groups that strike hard.

In the face of life, they are just ordinary people who are worried about many small things.

Antonio thought that his daughter was now in adolescence and began to have rebellious tendencies, and the family was always noisy, and now he just hoped that the child would not touch the leaves and not get tattoos.

Atwater, who provides most of the family's expenses, said that he is under a lot of pressure, but his younger siblings are obedient.

On the other side, Rusek complains that his fiancée is arguing with him.

Hosted, on the other hand, had a headache and the rent was about to rise, and he was discussing whether to change his apartment.

What is said and talked about is the bits and pieces of life.

For them, this is an alternative kind of psychotherapy, by confiding in each other, to vent the stress little by little.

Nadia glanced curiously at Ethan, who was sitting opposite, this guy didn't seem to have these troubles, and there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth, just like herself, just quietly drinking.

She knows her situation and every day is a new life.

For this reason, she has nothing to complain about, and she already feels lucky enough to know such a group of friends.

I heard from others that Sheriff Morgan also had a Ferrari.

Nadia shook the ice cubes in the cup and sighed enviously, that kind of life is something she can't imagine, maybe when she goes out to eat, she can tip five or ten yuan, and do an hour's work by herself.

People like him shouldn't have any worries.

Thinking of this, Nadia propped her elbows on the table, and she held her chin and stared diagonally across from her.

So handsome!

Ethan was thinking about the clue he had in his hands when he noticed a gaze fall on him.

Realizing that it was Nadia, he grinned toothily and raised his glass in motion.

Nadia was startled and hurriedly looked away.

"Shet."

The glass door of the bar opened, and Olinsky hurried over, cursing in a low voice, and bringing an undrunk Manhattan to his lips.

The Adam's apple rolls and the cocktail bottoms out quickly.

"Bang."

He placed the cup heavily on the wooden table and looked at Ethan, "You're in trouble. ”

Turning his head again, he pointed at Horstead:

"You're in trouble, too."

"Oh?" Ethan smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is nothing new at all, and I rarely have a time when I don't have trouble. ”

Rusek and Nadia continued to move inside, and Horstead gave up his place outside, asking with a puzzled expression, "What trouble can I have, I'm just a small person." ”

"Oscar."

Olinsky took off his cap and threw it on the table: "Because of Jacob's death, he issued a bounty in prison." ”

"My informant received the wind and just told me the news."

He grabbed his messy hair and patted Horstead on the shoulder: "Your life is worth $100,000 now." ”

"As for you, my sheriff."

Olinsky picked up another glass of wine and motioned to Ethan, "Two hundred thousand dollars." ”

"What?"

Ethan spread his hands incredulously: "Is that all?" ”

"Please, who is this looking down on?"

The faces of the others became solemn, but the two parties looked a little light, and Hostted took a sip of wine from his glass.

"Hey."

Rusek nudged Horstead: "Now that someone is offering you a reward, you have become a target, can you give a little reaction?" ”

"What's this?" Horstead shook his head:

"When I was on a mission overseas, every day you either killed me or I killed you, and I was used to this kind of life."

Antonio put down his glass with a serious expression.

He looked at his little brother and said in a deep voice: "The people on the road offer a reward for the police, which is usually 10,000 US dollars, and you are 100,000 yuan, don't underestimate the power of 100,000 US dollars." ”

"If that's the mentality, why don't you let me do it."

"With $100,000, I can almost pay off the mortgage."

"You can try it." Horstead smiled and shook his head: "I seriously doubt that you can do it. ”

"Still."

His expression became serious: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I'll pay attention." ”
