Having said that, Jessica couldn't help but picked up another spicy strip and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it, mumbling: "The taste...is okay! But why is it so spicy!"
She was so hungry that she quickly finished the two bags of snacks. After washing her hands, she decided to go out for a proper lunch and get some sun.
Today, New York had a rare good weather.
The faint golden sunlight came through the window, making the cold air a little warmer.
A moment later, Jessica put on her coat, held the lollipop in her mouth, fumbled for the change on her body, and walked towards the shiny door.
Suddenly, she was stunned to see a piece of paper pasted on the door.
On the large white paper, there was only one simple sentence: "According to the agreement, a freezer was damaged in the morgue of the Forensic Center last night. The estimated repair cost is 5,000 US dollars."
Looking at the dazzling $5000, Jessica swallowed and took her hand out of her pocket. There were only a few small bills in her hand, two ten-dollar bills and three one-dollar bills.
"You must be kidding! How can it be so expensive! You're robbing me!" A shout of annoyance was heard at the door.
Suddenly there was a roar from upstairs: "You are crazy so early in the morning. Are you afraid of being poor so you go out and rob people?"
"Bitch, if you say anything else I'll rob your house first!" Jessica yelled above her head.
Upstairs: "Come on, if you don't grab it, you're just a bitch."
But Jessica didn't want to continue arguing with the psychopath upstairs. She stared at the paper for a moment, tore it off, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it aside: "I didn't see it, I didn't see it. I didn't see anything."
She is so poor that she almost has to eat dirt, where would she get so much money
Hallucination, everything last night was an illusion!
Comforting herself in this way, she quickly went out.
…
Here, Luke and his companions had breakfast and went out to visit some of the police officers who had handled the case of the Sanfang Park brawl, but they all seemed unwilling to talk more.
The two didn't care too much, but after the conversation, the mobile phone communication records of these people were under surveillance.
When she got home in the afternoon, Selina looked at the records and curled her lips. "It's probably not a problem. Three people have contacted their old boss, the current Chief District Attorney Ms. Reyes."
Luke smacked his lips. “Maybe we’re going to have a little conflict with this Chief District Attorney.”
Selina: "She may not have the courage to come forward. We are investigating the attack on an Irish gang. This case is not hers alone."
As we were talking, Dustin called.
After answering the phone, Dustin got straight to the point: "Luke, what case are you investigating that has offended Chief District Attorney Reyes?"
Luke chuckled: "Where did she find you?"
Dustin: "She called me and told me to take good care of my people and not to interfere in her affairs and disrupt her deployment."
Luke was amused: "Yo, she thinks she's the boss of NYPD?"
Dustin also laughed, obviously not taking Ms. Reyes seriously. "There's nothing I can do. She used to be a chief of police, so she has a lot of connections in the headquarters. Stop talking nonsense and tell me the reason."
Luke: "It's the Irish gang case. We suspect it's related to a capture operation she led more than a year ago. There must have been a mistake in that capture operation. A family of three passers-by died and one was injured."
Dustin was silent when he heard this, and after a moment he said, "No wonder. There's been some rumors about her recently, and it's said that she's planning to run for city council."
Luke suddenly realized: "Is she afraid that we will dig up her dark history?"
Dustin: "That's a very possible possibility. What do you think?"
Luke thought about it and laughed, "It's okay, we just don't need to investigate this case. You didn't run for city council."
Dustin laughed and scolded, "Get lost. I'm a poor man, so what's the use of electing a senator? Reyes is almost there now, that's why I'm so nervous."
Luke: "Everyone should have dreams. Who knows, they might come true someday. I'm counting on you, boss."
Dustin couldn't help laughing, so he cursed him and hung up the phone.
Selina glanced at him and said, "You're definitely up to no good."
Luke didn't take it seriously: "After all, he is the chief district attorney. We should not mess with such a big shot, or else he will get into trouble."
Selina was still staring at someone with an expression that said, "I'll just watch you talk nonsense."
Luke was helpless: "Okay, we'll do the work quietly, without firing a gun."
Selina then retracted her gaze: "I knew it..."
Luke shrugged. "We just got here. It's too inconsiderate to ask the boss to help us fight the chief district attorney. Let's just treat it as a private job."
Selina was very interested when she heard this: "So, let's go to her house tonight?"
Luke groaned and thought for a moment, "It seems like it's not impossible."
No matter how much others say, it is not as good as letting the chief prosecutor speak for himself.
This operation cannot go wrong, we have to be careful, it would be best if Reyes himself doesn't know about it.
Thinking this in their minds, the two returned home.
As night fell, Luke, who had finished his dinner, looked at the information that Xiaowo had sorted out today, and called Fudge to test the situation of the Reyes District Attorney: "How is the Grote case going?"
Fudge's voice was a little low: "I don't feel good."
Luke: "Huh? What's going on?"
Fudge hesitated, but said, "Reyes wants to use Grote as bait to lure out a man named Edgar Bras, who is an important leader of the Mexican Cartel."
Luke frowned: "You agree?"
Fudge smiled bitterly: "I have to agree. Grote is not a good guy. If he goes to jail directly, he may stay in there for twenty years."
Luke wasn't surprised, Groot was just a scumbag: "Don't join in the fun, just stay away."
Fudge was silent for a moment: "I am with Reyes now. The arrest operation she planned has already begun."
Luke was stunned: "So fast?"
Fudge: "She's a little anxious."
Luke nodded thoughtfully: "Okay then. Reyes is directing the scene, right? Then you should also pay attention to safety and don't run around."
Fudge: "Got it, thank you."
Luke hung up the phone, stood up and asked, "Xiaowo, where is this phone?"
Xiaowo: "It's near the dock area, 2.3 kilometers to the north."
Luke: "If Selina asks, just say I have to go out for something."
"Yes, sir." Xiaowo said.
Two minutes later, Luke quietly left home through the underground exit.
Gliding and jumping on the rooftops, he soon approached the dock area.
The drone had already taken off one step ahead and locked onto the location of the police operatives.
These people all carried walkie-talkies, so it wasn't too difficult to find them.
Looking at the markings on these people, Luke frowned.
The ones coming are the ESU (Tactical Operations Unit), which is the same concept as the SWAT in Los Angeles.
