Watching Erin's vehicle go away, Ethan also turned around and got in the car.

The two wounded soldiers were taken to Chicago Hospital. After an examination, they found nothing serious.

Just go home, rest, take some painkillers and you'll be fine.

He got in his car again, took Rusek home, and drove to Burgess' apartment.

"You always look silly and happy, doesn't the corner of your mouth hurt?" Ethan glanced to the side, and Burgess was grinning all the way.

"You do not understand."

Burgess said with a smile: "This is the first time I have participated in such an important operation, which means a lot of things."

"Hiss~"

She frowned and quickly applied the ice pack to her mouth.

The other hand quickly rotated on the medicine bottle, threw a handful of pills into his mouth, and swallowed it with mineral water.

When he saw this, Ethan curled his lips.

I really can’t understand the way Americans take painkillers indiscriminately. No matter what the problem is, whether it’s a hangover or muscle soreness caused by overexercise, just take a few painkillers first.

Sometimes they are rough-skinned and durable, which is actually an illusion.

After she swallowed the mineral water, Ethan said silently: "People who don't know, would think you have joined the intelligence team."

"Don't hit me."

"Everything has a first step," Burgess said nonchalantly.

She freed up a hand and clenched her fist fiercely:

"As long as you take this step out, it will be a matter of time before you join the intelligence team."

Say it or not, this self-confidence is quite sufficient.

"By the way, that Muñoz." Burgess touched his stomach and said with an unhappy look:

"If you find him."

"Don't worry." Ethan turned the steering wheel and said calmly: "I will definitely help you take revenge and empty the magazine. What do you think?"

"Are you serious?"

Burgess held down the ice pack, grinned and said, "Just teach him a lesson."

"All right."

Ethan nodded: "Then empty the bomb nest."

No matter what, it needs to be cleared.

Unexpectedly, Mirares's strongest combat power was alone on the second floor, directly facing several people with weaker combat power in this operation.

This caused them to panic, and now the patrol officers are still outside searching the city.

"Fine."

Burgess smiled helplessly. This violent maniac always emptied the magazine.

The vehicle drove slowly and soon arrived at her apartment building.

After grabbing his belongings, Burgess slowly got out of the car.

"bump."

After closing the car door, she hesitated and leaned down to speak.

"Buzz."

The mobile phone placed on the tea rack was vibrating constantly.

The screen also lit up with Hank's name on it. Ethan picked up the phone and pressed answer.

After a few seconds, he hung up.

"Is there anything else?" Ethan shook his phone: "The police station still has something to deal with."

"It's okay, I just wanted to say thank you."

Burgess shook his hand and said with a smile: "Then go back quickly."

"OK."

Ethan made an OK gesture and turned the steering wheel.

The Ford Interceptor's lights flashed, turned a corner, and quickly disappeared around the corner.

As the cold wind blew, Burgess shivered and walked quickly into the apartment building despite the snowflakes.

Quickly walking up to the main hall, Antonio was the only one outside.

The door to the Sheriff's Office was closed, and Hank was talking to a bald man wearing white clothes.

Noticing him going upstairs, Hank inside stood up, pointed at Antonio, and then at the door.

"office."

Ethan didn't know what happened, so he could only knock on Antonio's table and the two of them walked in together.

The person talking to Hank was Director Perry of the 21st Branch.

"Director."

The two of them and Perry nodded and stood at the door.

"Rolo Mirares did a great job." Perry stood up and lifted his belt: "All the money has been recovered, and the superiors think highly of this matter."

Just forget it after hearing this, there will definitely be buts later.

"but."

Perry knocked on the table, frowned and said, "You let a man get away, the arsonist."

"Muñoz."

Hank leaned back on the office chair, spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, we will catch him."

"I have spies everywhere on the road, and he can't hide anywhere."

Ethan had been paying attention to the follow-up situation just now. Patrol officers had been arranged to visit the places Mirares mentioned, but no trace of Muñoz could be found in them.

This is normal. As long as he is not a fool, he will definitely not go to a place known to the people in this gang.

But Ethan was also a little confused. It was obvious that Hank didn't know what the director was saying now.

So what were they talking about just now, and they told themselves that something was urgent.

"You don't have to worry about the rest."

Director Perry waved his hand to interrupt Hank: "Bailden has taken over the case, and Munoz has become his problem."

"Bailden?"

Hank sat up quickly and spread his hands.

Precinct 21 has two important departments, the violent crimes team led by Baildon and the intelligence team led by Hank.

Bairden had conflicts with the intelligence team before, because he concealed information, which led to the first attrition of the intelligence team, which was the death of Antonio's original partner Julie.

"Director."

Ethan crossed his arms and said with a bad look on his face: "This is our case, this is the intelligence team's case."

"Bairden can't just snatch it away, no, steal it."

"That's right." Antonio said with a pinched neck: "This is the case of the intelligence team, and it is not the violent crime team's turn to intervene."

It's always been the intelligence team that steals other people's cases, so it's not someone else's turn to come over and steal the work.

"Detective Morgan, Detective Antonio."

Director Perry put his hands on his hips and said solemnly: "Please pay attention to your attitude."

"Munoz was also the murderer of a priest's murder two weeks ago. Bairden has convinced the deputy director of the General Administration."

"so what?"

Antonio spread his hands, expressing confusion.

"So Muñoz is Bairden's man, and this becomes his case." Director Perry continued: "It has nothing to do with you."

"You mean our intelligence team has to cooperate with them?" Hank also asked: "Jointly handle the case?"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

The three people in front of him were more disorderly than the other. Perry was furious for a moment. He waved his hand and said, "Munoz, let go. Don't touch him."

Before a few people could speak, Perry looked at Antonio:

"Do you remember Ba Zhao?"

"Eight claws!"

Antonio was stunned and said coldly: "He kidnapped my son and killed my partner. Do you think I remember it?"

"Let me tell you some information that you don't know."

Perry touched his bald head: "Munoz is not just a person, he is not just a member of Mirares' gang."

"Bailden wants to cooperate with Ba Zhao to lure out the people behind Muñoz."

"cooperate?"

Antonio took two steps forward and said angrily: "Do you want to commute his sentence and let him come out?"

"You stand back."

Perry stretched out his hand to signal him to keep his distance: "This is not a discussion, this is an order."

"Besides, I don't want this either."

"This matter has passed directly over me, okay?"

As these words came out of his mouth, Antonio knew that what he said was useless.

Even the branch chief had gone too far, so naturally he wouldn't take his words as a detective seriously.

"Arrange what I just said."

Director Perry said a word to Hank and turned to leave.

"Sorry." Ethan sighed and patted Antonio on the shoulder.

"I'm fine."

Antonio looked at Hank, who shook his head and said there was nothing he could do.

He held back his anger and walked out of the office.

Seeing Antonio angrily pick up his coat and quickly go downstairs, Ethan lit up a cigarette and blew out the smoke: "I regret not directly kicking Baildon to disability."

"Tell me, call me back. What's the matter?"

It can be said that the things I just mentioned have nothing to do with me.

Perry just wanted to calm down Antonio's mood, and it had nothing to do with him.

"There is indeed something." Hank picked up the note on the table:

"The reason why I asked you to come back is because Perry just brought a difficult task and came directly from the headquarters."

"What mission?" Ethan sat down on the chair and pretended to be listening.

Hank handed him the note and said in a hoarse voice:

"A big star received death threats."
