The next afternoon.

The conference room of the Chicago headquarters has clear windows. Through the wide glass curtain wall, you can see the white clouds outside.

A slight cough sounded from time to time.

Ethan took a sip of mineral water, frowned and looked across.

Roland and a group of people were sitting opposite.

A stench loomed.

He slapped his nose and made a show of disgust.

Several people on the opposite side immediately cast angry looks, and Roland's mouth slowly moved and his cheeks tightened.

Behind, are two minutes takers.

Hank was sitting next to him.

Above this oversized desk, five white shirts with golden badges were sitting in a row, some with five-corner and some with six-corner. Each of them had a stack of information in front of them.

He frowned and looked towards the conference room door again.

A point of light outside is moving back and forth.

"Bang."

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

His face was originally dark.

It looks too dark now.

Ethan's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at Hank, who also looked helpless.

"Feel 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 on his way."

Hearing his words, Roland smiled.

That look was a little triumphant.

Ethan's eyes twitched, and he grabbed the water bottle and drank water silently. He was stuck in traffic at this time, what a joke.

That bastard definitely chickened out on the spot.

Just doing this is equivalent to putting them on the rack and roasting them.

"No wait."

The first man in white shirt impatiently closed the case file in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Now regarding an arrest case that occurred yesterday, the internal hearing has been officially opened. Based on the existing information..."

The long meeting was conducted in a heated exchange of words.

The key witness was not present, and the lawyers hired by Roland and representatives of the police union quickly defeated Ethan's prosecutors.

Extremely embarrassed.

Ethan drank water one sip at a time and lowered his eyes.

Now he has no interest in talking.

Regardless of whether Carter was afraid of retaliation or had a sore foot pinched by Roland, if that guy didn't dare to come over now, then many of the things they did would be in vain.

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

"Chief Morgan."

The man in the white shirt frowned and looked at Ethan, shaking the case file in his hand: "Why did you bypass the normal case handling procedures and conduct undercover investigation yourself in this case?"

"Sir."

Ethan screwed on the lid and said slowly: "It happened suddenly."

"We who work on the front line must seize the fleeting opportunity instead of constantly reporting, I believe you can understand."

"Reliable information obtained."

He glanced towards the opposite side and said in a deep voice: "Chief Roland and his team are robbing the money and unique products of the sole traders, so I have to go undercover to get close to them as soon as possible, and I will be careful about what happens next..."

"Feel sorry."

Roland sat up straight and interrupted Ethan angrily: "Let me make one thing clear. If it weren't for Sheriff Morgan, my people and I would never have approached that house."

"That's not our jurisdiction, and if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have set foot there."

"Let me make this clear."

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

"Hey."

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

What you do is not important.

What matters is whether it can stand up. This lawyer has just been magnifying the loopholes in their procedures.

This is the most troublesome.

Similar words were asked to Hank again, and the latter also gave similar answers.

After another ten minutes, the hearing came to an end. Several senior officials went to the small conference room next to them to discuss the results of the hearing. They returned not long after and announced the final decision.

"Pending obtaining further transcripts of Officer Carter Perry's deposition."

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

"Chief Boyett, you need to file an action report on this case."

"Give a detailed explanation of this case."

"that's all!"

After hearing the final decision, everyone in Roland's team suddenly became excited and stood up to high-five and fist-bump.

"Yeah~"

"Ha ha."

"As it turns out, we are innocent."

Several people looked triumphant and looked at the opposite side provocatively, but their smiles suddenly froze, and the two people opposite looked at them coldly and expressionlessly.

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

"Let's go!"

Roland gritted his teeth and called his people to leave.

The moment he turned around, there was a chill in his eyes. It seemed that these two people were going to target him to death. They would not stop doing anything, so they decided to eliminate the hidden danger first.

Leading several people, he strode out of the conference room.

"Perry."

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

"waste time."

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

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

After muttering a few words, he and a few others left immediately.

"Feel sorry."

Perry grabbed his bald head and his face turned black and red: "I will go back to Carter now and ask what the situation is. The relevant testimony will be completed as soon as possible."

After apologizing to both of them, he gritted his teeth and quickly left the meeting room.

Others are there to help you.

But it turned out that he was the one who made the mistake, which made Perry feel very angry.

If Carter were here, let alone whether the charges could be confirmed, at least Roland and his gang would not be able to escape so easily.

"Huh~"

When everyone was gone, Hank said with a stern face: "Your guess last night is not unreasonable. Carter must be hiding something from us. We can only wait for Perry to persuade him. Our testimony is useless."

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

"If Roland dies, he will definitely doubt you. Don't be impulsive."

"Fakeyu."

Ethan was stunned by this amazing turn of events, and he stood up helplessly to collect the information: "Who do you think I am, a pervert who wants to kill all Roland's team when I have a conflict with the other party?"

"That's right."

Hank also stood up, the corner of his mouth twitching and said: "It seems you do have this idea."

"Cancel it."

"Sooner or later we will be able to catch Roland."

"Alas~"

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