My Beauty Variety: Starting from Banshee Town

Looking at the guy in the iron cage, Ethan didn't know what to do.

What else can a man who can't even threaten with explosive balls do?

After Antonio left, Ethan shook his head and said to Hank: "Why don't you listen to me and just let him disappear."

"This person is different." Hank sighed:

"In this situation, we can only ask Olinsky to come over."

Everything they had done before was so that Lexie wouldn't have to make a choice.

But what needs to be done has been done.

Now that it wasn't working, it was time for Lexie to make a decision.

She could choose to be a witness, which would involve risks.

She can also choose to turn a blind eye, and she will bear the condemnation of her conscience for the rest of her life.

Ethan shrugged and closed the cage door.

Second floor, Sheriff's Office.

Looking at Karaka's criminal record in his hand, Ethan flicked away the ashes.

He was arrested fifteen times and convicted zero times.

This kid Karaka really has some criminal minds.

Fifteen times, he was never successfully convicted.

"Hank, Ethan."

A tired voice sounded, and Olinsky appeared at the door of the office.

His wife and daughter followed and stood outside.

"Maybe you'd like to take a look at this." He handed the file to Olinsky.

The latter took the case file and frowned.

As a police officer, according to professional ethics, he should encourage Lexie to come forward and testify.

But as a father, his current choice is understandable.

Now that things have reached a dead end, it all depends on Lexie's decision.

"Bang bang."

There was a knock on the door and Platt walked in.

Ethan and Hank looked at the paper in her hand and put cigarettes in their mouths at the same time.

What is supposed to come will always come.

"The people above gave it to me and asked me to pass it on to Lexi's parents."

Platt slapped his nose and turned his gaze to Olinsky: "I can report it, I haven't contacted you yet."

"This can buy some time. Maybe Karaka will change his mind."

"No, just give it to me."

Olinsky threw Karaka's criminal record in the trash and took the court summons from Pratt.

Ethan pressed down his cigarette butt and walked out of the Sheriff's Office.

Led by Erin, Lexi and her mother had entered the pantry.

He returned to his seat and filled out a gun use report.

Orlinsky walked into the pantry with the summons, and Eileen stood up and left, leaving them to make their own decisions.

After a few more minutes, Lexi walked out with firm eyes.

Seeing her like this, she must have made up her mind to become a witness.

This girl is a bit stupid, but her conscience is still there.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before Hank summoned Erin and Rusek to prepare for the identification process.

Half an hour later, several people returned to the office.

Although the matter has been resolved, there is no joy on their faces.

When Hank passed by Horsted's desk, he thought of something. He stopped and knocked on the table hard:

"Now, come into my office."

Just such a simple sentence caught the attention of the whole group.

Ethan bit the beef jerky and looked at Horsted who was walking inside, hoping he wouldn't be so stubborn.

"boom."

Hank closed the office door and turned to stare at Halstead.

The two looked at each other and were in a stalemate for a while.

Halsted's chest heaved, avoiding Hank's scrutinizing gaze.

"Why do you do something stupid?"

Hank stretched out his hand and nodded at Horsted: "I'm very optimistic about you, Jay, don't do anything you'll regret."

"I told you, you gotta let it go with Lonnie Rodger."

"I listened to you."

Horsted waved his hand and explained, "I've let go of most things and stopped following Lonnie."

"Is this the truth?"

Hank felt disappointed.

"Why did I lie to you?" Horsted scratched his ears: "What I told you is the truth."

"You're a terrible liar." Hank snapped:

"If you don't tell me the truth, if something goes wrong, I won't be able to protect you. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Are you serious?" Horsted said as if he was furious.

He approached Hank and said disdainfully: "Protect me?"

"If I remember correctly, the person arrested by the Ministry of Internal Affairs last night was you, not me."

"What makes you think that you deserve to give me advice?"

The sound was so loud that it even attracted the attention of people outside.

Hank was already annoyed enough because of Lexie.

Now that he kindly reminded Halsted that he was exposing his shortcomings, Hank became angry.

"Bang!"

He stretched out his hand and pushed hard, pushing Horsted back a few steps, and at the same time yelled:

"Watch your attitude, Detective."

"I'm trying to keep you out of trouble. What are you trying to do, challenge me?"

Hank waved his hands vigorously and roared:

"What turned you into a complete idiot?"

After being scolded angrily, Horsted's heated head quickly calmed down, and he regretted the words he just said.

Seeing Hank's angry eyes, he had no choice but to tell what he discovered:

"I suspect Lonnie Rodger is planning something."

He added coquettishly: "I think Lonnie is going to kill another kid."

"Leave it to the homicide squad." Hank suppressed his anger:

"I believe you have their phone number, just leave it to them."

"But."

What else did Horsted want to argue.

"No buts."

Hank waved his hand vigorously and interrupted him: "You idiot."

"You have been targeted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, do you know that?"

"That's all I can remind you."

"If you don't pay attention, you will bear the consequences yourself."

The words have been reminded so clearly that if you don’t listen, there is nothing you can do about it.

Horsted's attitude just now also made Hank a little annoyed, so he opened the door expressionlessly.

"Thank you." After all, Horsted was not a ungrateful person. He thanked him silently and walked out of the office.

Facing the concerned looks of Irene and Antonio, he just shook his head.

At night, Sumner hesitated before knocking on the door of the Sheriff's Office.

After getting a response, unlock the door again.

"What's matter?"

Hank was sitting in his office chair studying the case file. He glanced at Sumner, lowered his head and said.

After closing the door, Sumner looked serious:

"I know what you're thinking."

"But let me tell you, I'm not from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I don't work for them."

She pulled out a chair and sat down: "You don't have to appreciate me."

"But if you don't use me, it's your loss."

"You're confident."

Hank threw the case file on the table and put his hands together: "I just don't have enough patience."

“Not only am I confident, I’m also very capable.”

Sumner said seriously: "I am an excellent police detective. I have proved it and will continue to prove it to you."

"If I find out that you work for the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Hank said coldly, "I will not hesitate to drive you away as soon as possible."

"Fair enough, I accept it."

Sumner leaned forward and held out his arm to Hank.

The latter hesitated for a while, then shook hands with her.

What Sumner did today really proved her ability, and Hank still appreciated it.

"Then I won't bother you."

Sumner let go, stood up and walked outside.

This was the first time since she came to the intelligence team that the department head shook hands with her and expressed his acceptance.

She couldn't suppress her happiness and her steps became lighter.
