My Beauty Collection: Starting from Banshee Town

Chapter 537
Looking at the guy in the iron cage, Ethan didn't know what to do.

What else can a man who can't be threatened by exploding eggs do.

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

"This person is different." Hank sighed:

"In this situation, we can only let Orlinski come over."

Everything they had done before was to save Lexie from having to make a choice.

But what needs to be done has been done.

Now that it doesn't work, it's time for Lexie to make a decision.

She could choose to be an eyewitness, and that would entail certain risks.

You can also choose to turn a blind eye, then in the next life, she will bear the condemnation of conscience.

Ethan shrugged and closed the cage door.

Second floor, Sheriff's Office.

Looking at Karaka's criminal record in his hand, Ethan flicked off the ash.

Fifteen arrests and zero convictions.

This kid Karaka really has some criminal minds.

Fifteen times, he was not successfully convicted once.

"Hank, Ethan."

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

His wife and daughter came with him and stood outside.

"Maybe you want to look at this." He handed the file to Orlinski.

The latter took the 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 come to a dead end, it's up to Lexie to decide.

"Bang bang."

The door knocked and Pratt walked in.

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

What should come, will always come.

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

Pratt slapped his nose and turned his eyes to Orlinski: "I can report to you, but I haven't contacted you for the time being."

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

"No need, just give it to me."

Orlinski threw Karaka's criminal record in the trash and took Pratt's court order.

Ethan pressed the cigarette butt and walked out of the sheriff's office.

Led by Irene, Lexie and her mother have entered the pantry.

He returned to his seat and filled out the gun report.

Orlinski walked into the pantry with the subpoena, and Irene got up to leave, leaving them to make their own decisions.

A few minutes later, Lexi walked out with firm eyes.

Seeing her like this, she should have made up her mind to be a witness.

This girl is stupid, but she still has a conscience.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before Hank called Irene 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 Horstead's desk, he remembered something, he stopped, and knocked heavily on the table:

"Now, come into my office."

It was such a simple sentence that attracted the attention of the whole group.

Ethan bit the beef jerky and looked at Horstead who was walking inside, hoping he would not be so stubborn.

"boom."

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

The two stared at each other for a while.

Horstead's chest heaved, avoiding Hank's probing gaze.

"Why are you doing stupid things?"

Hank reached out and nodded Horstead: "I'm very optimistic about you, Jay, don't do things that you regret."

"I told you about Lonnie Rodiger, you gotta let it go."

"I listened to you."

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

"Is this the truth?"

Hank felt disappointed.

"What am I lying to you for?" 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, in case something goes wrong, I can't protect you, understand what I mean?"

"Are you serious?" Horstead said furiously.

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

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

"What makes you feel that you are worthy of my advice."

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

Hank was already annoying enough about Lexie.

Now kindly reminding Horsted that he even revealed his faults, Hank also became annoyed.

"Oh!"

He stretched out his hand and pushed Horsted back a few steps, while shouting loudly:

"Watch your attitude, Detective."

"I want to keep you out of trouble, what are you trying to do, challenge me?"

Hank waved vigorously and roared:
"What turned you into a complete moron?"

After being reprimanded angrily, Horsted's hot head quickly calmed down, regretting what he just said.

Looking at Hank's angry eyes, he had no choice but to tell what he found:

"I suspect Lonnie Rodiger is planning something."

He added coyly, "I think Lonny is going to kill another kid."

"Leave it to the homicide team." Hank suppressed his anger:
"I'm sure you have their phone, just let them handle it."

"But."

Horstead wanted to argue something else.

"No buts."

Hank waved his hand vigorously, interrupting him: "You idiot."

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

"There's only so much I can remind you."

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

The words have been reminded so clearly, if you don't listen, there is nothing you can do.

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

"Thank you." After all, Horsted is not a ignorant person, he thanked silently and walked out of the office.

Facing the caring eyes of Irene and Antonio, he just shook his head.

At night, Sumner hesitated and knocked on the door of the sheriff's office.

After getting a response, turn the door lock.

"What's matter?"

Hank was sitting on the office chair studying the file, he glanced at Sumner, bowed 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 her chair and sat down: "You don't need to appreciate me."

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

"You're confident."

Hank threw the case file on the table and put his hands together: "It's just that I'm a bit impatient."

"I'm not only confident, but also capable."

Sumner said seriously: "I am an excellent 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 drive you away without hesitation."

"Fair enough, I accept."

Sumner leaned forward and held out his arm to Hank.

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

What Sumner has done today has indeed proved her ability, and Hank still appreciates it.

"Then I won't bother you."

Sumner let go, got up and walked outside.

This was the first time the head of the department shook hands with her after she came to the intelligence team, expressing her acceptance.

She couldn't suppress her happiness, and her steps became easier.
