The next afternoon.

The conference room of the Chicago General Office is almost clear, and the white clouds can be seen through the large glass curtain wall.

A slight cough sound, sounded from time to time.

Ethan took a sip of mineral water and looked across with a frown.

Roland and the others sat opposite.

A stench looms.

He slapped his nose and made a gesture of disgust.

Several people on the opposite side immediately cast angry glances, and Roland's mouth was slowly squirming, and his cheeks were tightened.

In the back, there are two meeting note-takers.

Hank sat right next to him.

And above this oversized desk, five white shirts with gold badges sat in a row, some pentagonal and some hexagonal, and each of them had a stack of materials in front of them.

With an frown, he looked back at the conference room door.

A spot of light outside is moving back and forth.

"Bang."

Soon the wooden door opened, and Director Perry walked in with a black face.

His face was already black.

Now it's even darker.

Ethan chuckled inwardly and turned to look at Hank, who also looked helpless.

"I'm sorry."

Pulling out the chair, Director Perry sat down next to Hank, and said with a gloomy face, "There is a traffic jam on the road, and Carter is rushing over." ”

Hearing his words, a smile appeared on the corner of Roland's mouth.

That look, a little triumphant.

Ethan's eyes jumped, and he grabbed the water bottle and drank the water silently.

The bastard definitely flinched on the spot.

Just like that, it's like putting them on the shelf and roasting them.

"No waiting."

When the first white shirt impatiently closed the case file in his hand, he said in a deep voice: "Now about an arrest case that happened yesterday, the internal hearing has officially opened, according to the available information... ”

Long meetings, in the midst of verbal swords.

In the absence of key witnesses, Roland's lawyers and representatives of the police union quickly overwhelmed Ethan's prosecutors.

Embarrassed.

Ethan took a sip of water and lowered his eyes.

Now he has no interest in even talking.

Whether Carter was afraid of being retaliated against afterwards, or if he had some sore foot pinched by Roland, now that guy didn't dare to come over, then a lot of the things they did would become useless.

He didn't want to talk, but something would always find him.

"Sheriff Morgan."

The white shirt in the middle looked at Ethan with frowning eyebrows, shaking the case file in his hand: "Why in this case, why do you have to bypass the normal case handling process and personally conduct undercover investigations." ”

"Sir."

Ethan screwed the lid and said slowly, "It happened suddenly. ”

"Those of us who work on the front lines have to seize the fleeting opportunity, not keep reporting, and I believe you can understand."

"Reliable information."

He swept to the opposite side and said in a deep voice: "Sheriff Roland and his team are robbing the money and goods of the sole traders, so I have to go undercover to approach them as soon as possible, and the next ... ”

"I'm sorry."

Roland sat upright and angrily interrupted Ethan, "Let me make one thing clear, if it weren't for Sheriff Morgan, my people and I wouldn't have approached that house at all. ”

"It's not our jurisdiction, and if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have set foot at all."

"Let me be clear."

He spread his hands and gritted his teeth, "This is a frame-up operation against our team, it couldn't be more obvious. ”

"Hey."

The lawyer next to him held down Roland, shook his head and said, "We just need to get Sheriff Morgan's answer, and I believe everyone will come to a suitable judgment." ”

It doesn't matter what you do.

The important thing is whether it can stand up, and this lawyer has just been magnifying the loopholes in their program.

That's the most troublesome.

The same words were asked to Hank, who gave a similar answer.

After another ten minutes, the hearing came to an end, and several high-level officials went to the small conference room next to discuss the results of the hearing, and it was not long before they returned and announced the final decision.

"Before obtaining further transcripts of the statements of Officer Carter Perry."

The white shirt in the middle closed the case file and shook his head slightly at Perry: "Sheriff Roland and his squad members will not face any criminal charges this time." ”

"Chief Boyt, you need to file a report on the actions of this case."

"Give a detailed explanation of the case."

"That's all!"

Hearing the final decision, the people of Roland's team immediately became excited, and they all got up and clapped their fists.

"Yay~"

"Haha."

"It turns out that we are innocent."

Several people looked triumphant, and looked at each other defiantly, but the smiles of several people suddenly froze, and the two people opposite were expressionless and looked at each other coldly.

They felt a chill in their hearts, and their smiles suddenly disappeared.

"Let's go!"

Roland gritted his teeth and beckoned his people to get out of here.

The moment he turned around, a chill appeared in his eyes, these two people seemed to be staring at themselves, and they didn't do anything, so they simply started to clear the hidden danger first.

Leading a few people, he strode out of the conference room.

"Perry."

Several white shirts also stood up one after another, and the white man who was mainly in charge of presiding over the meeting just now walked up to them: "We have discussed, there is no need for this kind of case to continue. ”

"Waste of time."

He patted Hank on the shoulder again, shook his head, and said, "I also know that those people are not clean, but I hope that next time, you can be more prepared." ”

"Of course, if there is a key testimony...

After reading the last two sentences, he and the others left.

"I'm sorry."

Perry grabbed a handful of bald heads, and his face turned black and red: "I'll go back to Carter right now and ask what the situation is, and the relevant testimony will be done as soon as possible." ”

After apologizing to the two of them, he gritted his teeth and walked quickly out of the conference room.

Others are helping themselves.

It turned out that he had stabbed the basket on his side, which made Perry feel very angry.

If Carter is here, not to mention whether he can be convicted of the crime, at least Roland's gang can't get away so easily.

"Whew~"

When the people were gone, Hank said with a calm face: "Your guess last night is not unreasonable, Carter should have something to hide from us, so we can only wait for Perry to persuade him, our testimony is useless." ”

"But you can't kill people at this time."

"Roland is dead, he will definitely suspect you, don't be impulsive."

"Fakyu."

This divine turn made Ethan stunned, and he had no choice but to stand up and pack up the information: "What do you think of me, a pervert who has a little conflict with the other party, and wants to kill all of Roland's team?" ”

"That's right."

Hank also stood up, the corners of his mouth twitching, "It seems that you do have this idea." ”

"Knock it off."

"Sooner or later, we'll get Roland's handle."

"Alas~"

Ethan shook his head and sighed. (End of chapter)
