Ethan was standing by the pool while Emmett took notes for him.

At the back door of the nearby house, two medical staff struggled to carry out the black body bag.

Hood stopped the medical staff, opened the body bag, stared blankly at Kate's pale face for a while, and then zipped it up.

"Who did it?"

Hood walked up to Ethan and asked angrily.

"Kate, it was just an accident. These people came for the person in front."

Hood nodded, clenched his fists and strode forward.

Ethan and Emmett looked at each other and quickly followed his footsteps.

At the place where we got off the car just now, a native Indian man with long black hair was being supported by Siobhan and Brock and jumping towards the ambulance nearby.

Hood rushed over quickly, grabbed the Indian man by the collar, and pressed him hard against the body of the ambulance. He roared angrily:

"Who sent those people and what did you do?"

His sudden reaction shocked everyone at the scene. The Indian man kept his mouth shut and remained silent.

Hood was angry and wanted to reach out and scratch the wound on the Indian man's leg.

Ethan reacted at this time and hugged Hood away.

"Let go." Hood struggled.

"His child is watching right next to him. What do you want to do to him?" Ethan lifted Hood and looked to the side.

A little girl who was only five or six years old stood nearby, looking at Hood in horror.

After seeing Hu Delian take a few deep breaths, Ethan held his shoulders.

"Calm down first and I'll ask."

After speaking, he released Hood and returned to the Indian man. The medical staff next to him also wisely stood a little further away.

Ethan smiled at the little girl, then looked back at the Indian man with disheveled hair.

"My name is Ethan, Ethan Morgan."

The Indian man looked left and right and said, "Thompson."

"Mr. Thompson, I just saved your life, your daughter's life, and this lady's life. Do you agree?"

Thompson gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, that's right."

Ethan stared into his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Now an innocent woman is dead, at the hands of those people just now."

"Are you going to tell me what happened, or are you going to keep quiet?"

Thompson looked around. Because something like this happened, the neighbors came out to watch the excitement, as well as a large number of medical staff.

He breathed silently for a while, put his hand into his trouser pocket, shook hands with Ethan, and said loudly:

"Officer, I'm very sorry, I don't think I can help you."

When Hood heard what he said, his expression changed, and he wanted to step forward again, but Ethan took a step back to block him.

He put his hands behind his back, and the business card in his hand disappeared in a flash.

After seeing the ambulance leaving, the group returned to the police station regardless of the late night.

Ethan took out Thompson's business card and handed it to him, and typed it out in the eyes of his colleagues in the police station.

After the two talked for a few minutes, Ethan put down the phone and lit the cigarette that Brock handed him.

"Proctor."

"Is he sure?" Brock asked solemnly, leaning against the wall.

Ethan took a puff of cigarette, organized the words in his mind, and then said:

"This Thompson is a council member of the Chino Tribe, and they held a tribal meeting two days ago."

"The meeting was initiated by another commissioner, George Hunter, and its main purpose was to remove the current chief, Alex Runcid, from power."

"Before this, they have united several committee members in the tribe, and they have enough votes to vote Alex away."

"But on the day of the meeting, the members who had already agreed to it broke their promises and refused to vote in favor."

Emmett crossed his arms "What does this have to do with Proctor?"

Ethan shook his head and continued:

"Thompson had been threatened beforehand, but he didn't take it seriously."

"After the meeting, he and George Hunter went to confront the commissioners who had reneged on their promises and found that they had all been physically threatened."

"And the people who threatened them were all white."

Ethan glanced at Hood, "Including the three people who came here tonight, they are all white."

"Shet."

Brock scratched his bald forehead, "Alex and Proctor must have hooked up. It's not convenient for Alex to do something like this, so he asked Proctor to help him."

"Then what should we do now?" Siobhan looked behind the desk, and Hood remained silent.

It was a small town and they all knew that Hood was related to Kate Moody.

After a moment of silence, Emmett shook his head.

"The three men who went to attack Thompson tonight are dead and there is no evidence pointing to Proctor and there is nothing we can do."

Hood stood up expressionlessly and packed the things on the counter.

"Everyone is tired today. Let's go back and rest."

Brock and the others sighed and left the police station.

Davis Bar.

It was almost closing time, and Candy was turning the wooden chair over and placing it on the table.

Seeing Hood and Ethan walking in, he said helplessly:

"What's going on with you guys, you all like to come over when I'm about to get off work?"

Ethan walked over and helped him clear the chair. "Who else?"

"Who else could it be?" Candy pointed to the laptop placed on the bar.

Jia Bo walked out from behind and said, "Good evening, Mom, why did you get off work so late today? I've been drinking with this old man for an hour."

Ethan shook his head and returned to sit on the bar.

Hood walked straight to the bar, took a large gulp of half a bottle of whiskey, walked to the table next to him, sat down, and drank with an unhappy look on his face.

Candy also returned to the bar at this time and poured alcohol for Ethan.

"what happened to him?"

Ethan yawned and drank the wine.

"Kate is dead."

"Kate Moody?" Candy looked up in shock.

"That's right."

Ethan knocked on the countertop, signaling Candy to continue pouring wine.

"What happened?"

Candy poured him wine with an expression of disbelief, and then looked at Hood, who was sitting silently aside.

Ethan had no choice but to tell what happened tonight, and then picked up the wine glass.

Candy put down the bottle and said after a moment of silence:

"He really went through with it this time. He would do anything for the casino's share."

"Kate Moody had no conflict with him. Even if it was an accident, it was caused by him. She also wanted to kidnap the aborigine's whole family. Even for Proctor, it set a new lower limit.

Jabo looked at the silent Hood, took a bite of ice, and asked Ethan:

"That's the guy we met at the strip club last time, right? He looks like the businessman."

After Ethan nodded, Jabo cursed secretly.

At this time, Hood said dullly:

"Do any of you mind if I just kill Proctor?"
