He grabbed the heavy bag in the cupboard and carried it out of the living room.

Throwing it onto the wooden table, the stolen mobile phone slipped out of the bag and fell to the table and the ground with a clatter.

Some screens were smashed, and some back covers were dented.

Burgess silently grabbed his cheap cell phone in his pocket and felt a shiver in his heart.

There are at least over a hundred mobile phones inside.

According to the information she learned, one machine can earn at least 50 US dollars, so this bag is worth at least 5,000 US dollars.

Looking at these mobile phones, Burgess looked shocked:

"how could you do this?"

"The children have to eat." The old white woman stopped pretending and showed her cards.

"Your acting skills are good, very good." Ethan picked up the latest iPhone:

"It's these children who need to eat, or they are your tools to make money."

"Officer." One of the little girls said nervously:

"Grandma is not doing it for herself. Please, don't send her to jail."

"So, it's not the boy with the knitted hat who contacted the Latin Priest Gang." Ethan threw the phone back:

"It's you, right?"

"I don't know what you are talking about." The old white woman covered her forehead and pretended to be uncomfortable:

"I need a lawyer, and a doctor."

"I don't think so." Ethan sat down opposite her:

"What you need is the Department of Children and Family Services, and prison life."

"With your acting skills, you should be fine in there."

When they heard about the Department of Children and Family Services, the expressions of several children changed. The old white woman was no longer uncomfortable. She hugged the children nervously:

"Please, don't do this."

"Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you everything."

Several children hugged the old white woman tightly, as if they were afraid that she would be taken away.

This sight made Ethan murmur.

It seems that the old white woman should be very good to these children, and she can't fake that feeling of dependence on each other.

To confirm his idea, Ethan called Burgess over and whispered.

The latter glanced at the people opposite, turned around and walked upstairs.

After some inspection, it was found that the rooms where several children lived were quite warmly decorated, and the closets were filled with clothes.

In the boy's room, there are computers, game consoles, rugby balls and other playthings.

There were also many dolls placed in the girl's room. They looked quite clean and tidy and did not appear to have been abused.

The balance in her heart began to tilt, and she turned around and went downstairs.

In the living room, after some questioning, Ethan learned that every other week, they would take the stolen mobile phones to the Latin Priest Gang for refurbishment.

Today happened to be the day to transfer the stolen goods, but the old white lady received a phone call in the morning.

The people from the Latin Priest Gang told her not to go there for the time being.

We still have to wait for a phone call to tell you exactly when.

During the conversation, Burgess walked into the living room and nodded at him.

Ethan understood, and he looked at the old white woman: "Last question, where do you usually meet?"

"If I tell you, can you let us go?"

The old white woman still wanted to struggle and looked at him pitifully.

"This is not the time for you to bargain."

Ethan stood up and said impatiently: "Say it or not, you decide for yourself."

After hesitating for a few seconds, the old white woman revealed her weekly delivery address. That address was also the cell phone refurbishment factory of the Latin Priest Gang.

"I hope you're telling the truth."

Ethan walked outside: "You don't want to see me again."

Seeing this, Burgess quickly followed him.

Several people in the room immediately hugged each other tightly when they saw the door closed.

After getting in the car, Burgess looked at Ethan:

"Are you going to let them go like this?"

"If you want." Ethan turned the wheel: "I can call the Department of Children and Family Services right away."

"Forget it." Burgess shook his head and looked back:

"She wasn't doing it for herself, but for those children."

"It's just about living."

He and Burgess returned to the police station, first returned the tracking device to Gene, and then walked to the second floor.

"Hey, what did you find?"

Seeing Ethan and Burgess returning, Rusek quickly stood up.

"Find the address of the Latin Priest Gang's mobile phone refurbishment factory."

Ethan bumped fists with him: "Where are the others? We need to go over together and take a look."

"Great." Rusek clapped his hands excitedly:

"Wait a moment, we have captured Pierce, and the Sheriff is interrogating him."

"That's right." He pointed to the evidence bag on the table next to him with disgust:

"We also found this thing."

"This was found in a den of the Latin Priest Gang. It seems that Karaka was punished by the gang for initiating this conflict."

Ethan picked up the evidence bag and found a little finger inside.

The technique is average, the cut surface is very uneven, and a bit of bone residue is exposed.

"How do you know Karaka was punished and not dismembered?"

Ethan shook the evidence bag and looked at Antonio.

"He was always part of the Latin Priest Gang and that's how they punished members who did something wrong."

Antonio raised his head and continued:

"I think they must have moved Karaka to a safe place because all the attention of the street and the police is now on him."

Ethan pointed to the back: "Burgess and I discovered their refurbishing factory."

"Do you think it's possible that Karaka was transferred there?"

"very possible."

Antonio checked his watch: "When Hank comes out, we will go and search immediately."

"Um."

Ethan nodded and tossed the evidence bag.

"Uh-huh!"

The evidence bag flew backwards, and Burgess caught it subconsciously.

When she saw what it was, she felt sick to her stomach.

“You’ll get used to it if you look at it more often.”

Ethan put one hand in his pocket and walked to the observation room: "Take it and follow me."

It was just a severed finger, and it was nothing compared to the dismemberment scenes Rusek experienced in the basement last time.

But it is very helpful for newcomers to exercise their courage.

Burgess gritted his teeth and followed Ethan with the evidence bag in both hands.

"Hi."

"Anything gained?"

"We'll talk later."

Only Irene was in the observation room. Several people greeted each other, and he looked into the interrogation room through the one-way glass.

Sitting opposite Hank was a strong black man with a round waist and thick arms.

He had a mustache and fierce eyes.

"What are your plans?" Hank stood and looked condescendingly at Pierce:

"Kill the Latin Priest gang members one by one until they find or hand over Karaka?"

Pierce curled his lips, shrugged, and said nothing.

"I want this to end here."

Hank put his hands on the table and stared at Pierce: "No more shootings, no more bodies."

"I will find Karaka and put him in jail."

"No, man."

Pierce's eyelids rolled up and he looked straight at Hank: "It's useless for you to catch me. There are so many people in the Monarch Gang."

"I'm telling you, Karaka will definitely pay for what he did."

"Where did you find him?" Ethan turned his head and asked Erin.

"It's in his mother's house." Irene shook her head and said:

"There is no way. We haven't found any problems with Pierce. Now we can only ask him to come back to assist in the investigation."

"Bump."

There was a gentle knock on the door, and everyone turned their heads.

Sumner stood at the door, holding a folder in his hand: "Good news, I found a way to deal with Pierce."
