Night.

The Cadillac is off the street in the Southside, pull over.

Ethan shook the car keys and walked to the small shop next to him, pushing the glass door open.

"Ding-dong."

"Welcome."

The female cashier at the counter said without raising her head, busily sorting out the contents of the cash register.

"Three Marlboros."

Ethan pulled a large plastic bag, walked to the shelf, saw any snacks he wanted to eat, and clicked inside.

Hearing the voice, the cashier looked up.

She smiled and asked softly, "Officer, I just bought a lot of snacks last time, did you finish them so quickly?" ”

"No way." Ethan shrugged and said:

"Raising a bunch of foodies, that's it."

This convenience store, just two streets next to the police station, usually when he is fine, Ethan will come over to buy some snacks, back and forth, and the cashier will quickly remember him.

After work that day, I stopped by to replenish some inventory.

"Ding-dong."

The glass door of the shop was pushed open again.

The sound of welcome continued to sound, light footsteps approached, and a short, blond woman in a thin coat walked up to Ethan, reaching for a box of chocolate bars.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Ethan continued to sweep the goods.

The things on the shelves were packed into big plastic bags by him as if they didn't want money.

This move made the short-haired woman cast a surprised look.

The woman is not very good-looking, but her blue eyes also have a charm, and her appearance looks as weak as a lamb, which makes people feel protective.

"I'm here to rob."

Ethan swept the potato chips from the shelves into the bag and winked at the short-haired woman.

The other party was startled, and hurriedly reached out and pressed the satchel he was carrying.

"I'm sorry."

Finding that the other party reacted so much, Ethan realized that he had made an inappropriate joke, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "It's just a joke, I hope you don't mind." ”

It's the United States, and convenience stores are also a place of high robbery.

This joke can't be messed around.

"Hmm."

Looking at the other party's handsome face, the short-haired woman relaxed her body.

Still, he was annoyed by the look.

Ethan shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment and walked towards the cash register with a full bag, on which three red marlboros were already stacked.

"What's wrong with you?"

Placing the bag on it, he noticed a bruise in the corner of the cashier's eye.

"It's fine."

The cashier smiled reluctantly, she quickly took out the contents of the bag, and scanned the goods: "My ex-husband made it." ”

"Huh?"

Ethan frowned: "This kind of thing, in fact, you can call the police." ”

"Thank you."

The cashier touched the corner of his eye lightly and said with a wry smile: "No, I have already applied to the court for a restraining order, thank you for your concern." ”

Now that the process has been taken, there is nothing to say.

Ethan grabbed a few more bottles of chewing gum and put them on, a large pile of things, and it would take a while for her to finish scanning, he knocked on the cash register and asked, "Excuse me, is there a bathroom here?" ”

"Yes."

The cashier nodded and pointed to a corner of the convenience store: "You turn right from the front, and the shelves in the second row go inside." ”

Ethan thanked him and walked inside.

In the narrow passage, there are piles of debris everywhere.

After turning two corners, I found the bathroom, closed the iron door, and lifted the toilet lid.

Torrent gushing.

Ethan whistled and kept drawing circles.

"Bang bang."

Two dull gunshots stopped the water column abruptly.

The voice, as if coming from outside.

"Bang."

Another gunshot continued to ring outside, and Ethan pulled the zipper up with a thud.

"Fake."

The whole person jumped three feet high.

He bared his teeth and cursed, shuddering to put his brother in order, before pulling out his python revolver and gritting his teeth to open the bathroom door.

Outside, there was a shouting and swearing.

It was a man's voice, and it sounded unusually angry.

Inside the radar, there are two points of light.

That is, someone has already been killed, Ethan's eyes blinked, and his pace sped up a little.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Three more gunshots rang out in a row, causing his figure to pause for a moment and quickly rush out.

Inside the convenience store, it was a mess.

The cashier had collapsed in a pool of blood, and there was also a man lying on the ground outside the counter, his body was convulsing, blood gushing out from the wound on his neck and spreading rapidly on the ground.

Behind the shelves, stood the short-haired blonde woman from just now, holding a handful of glocks in both hands, gasping for breath.

"Hey."

Ethan moved his feet quickly, letting out a low cry carefully.

"Huh."

The woman turned sharply, her muzzle pointed at the place where the sound had come from, her fingers trembling.

As far as the eye can see, there is no one.

"Put the gun down."

Ethan slowly extended the barrel of the gun to the back of her head and said in a deep voice, "Don't do stupid things. ”

No matter what happens here, removing the threat is all that matters.

The short-haired woman's body shook and obediently threw away the gun.

"Turn around and slow down." Ethan took a step back and continued to command.

"I don't know what's going on."

The short-haired woman turned around, facing the muzzle of the gun, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she saw Ethan's police badge hanging on her belt again, and her lips trembled and said, "Officer, don't shoot." ”

"What's going on here?"

Ethan's gaze swept over the man lying on the ground, his body had stopped twitching and he was dead of gas.

The woman in the cash register has no chance of survival.

At the scene, there was such a man with a gun.

"That's right." In the face of Ethan's inquiry, the short-haired woman was visibly flustered, she sniffed and said quickly: "That man, when he came in, he scolded the cashier with a gun." ”

"Scolding her for being a Bichi or something."

She kept shaking her head and said in a panic, "Next, it's a few shots." ”

"I don't know what to do."

The short-haired woman's eyes were red, and she quickly waved her palm: "He found me, I had to take out the pistol in the bag, and the next thing happened too fast." ”

"That's right."

She pointed above the convenience store and said excitedly, "There is surveillance here, which can prove that I am telling the truth." ”

Her body trembled as she spoke.

Mentally, it also seems to be a little broken, but this is also normal.

These words are not like falsehoods.

Ethan nodded and put down his gun: "You stand aside and wait for processing." ”

"Why?" The blonde woman spread her hands excitedly: "He killed someone, I just protected myself, why do you still let me accept the treatment?" ”

Ethan didn't understand why she reacted this way, sighed and said:

"This lady, you killed someone."

"In this world, it's not just me who kills people, there are many people who kill people." The blonde woman burst into tears and screamed, "Why do you want to get away if someone else kills someone, why don't you catch those people." ”

As she spoke, she pressed closer to Ethan.

Thank you gentleman for your support, thank you!
