My Beauty Collection: Starting from Banshee Town

Chapter 752 Offering a Reward (Two in One)

Two hours later, a group of people headed by Ethan walked out of the office building.

The entire building was searched floor by floor, but there was no trace of Payne, and radar scanning also found nothing.

In desperation, the intelligence team had to withdraw.

The rest of the matter was left to others, and the bomb disposal team also began to enter the scene, and they had to search and deal with the entire building again.

Although no one was caught, Director Perry looked good.

Although there was still an explosion, all the hostages were rescued, and the only injured person sprained his foot when he hurriedly went downstairs.

Relying on this alone is a great credit.

However, the people in the intelligence team were holding back a fire, and their own people were blown up, and they were almost reimbursed.

Ethan turned his head and looked at the office building surrounded by patrolling police. He narrowed his eyes. He didn't know how Payne escaped, or where he hid, but he couldn't find it.

This guy has been planning here for a month.

I learned from the security director that Payne had applied for a security job here a month ago with his police qualifications.

Because of his older age, he was responsible for night patrol.

It is for this reason that it is convenient for him to do it, and this guy has been investigating for a month.

He must have already figured out how to escape.

Having been a Chicago police officer for 20 years, Payne should be very clear about the standard search process, which undoubtedly adds a lot of difficulty to their work.

"Boss."

Irene came over and took out a tissue from her pocket: "Wipe your face."

"Thank you."

Ethan squeezed out a smile, took the tissue and wiped it off his face.

Dust again, sweat again.

There were stains on his face, and he wiped it with a white tissue twice, and it turned gray and black.

"Thank you."

Ruzek saw Erin walking by, smiled and held out his hand.

"You're welcome."

Erin shrugged and clapped her hands with him.

"puff."

Seeing this, Atwater chuckled and scratched his forehead.

Retracting his hand in embarrassment, Ruzek glared at Atwater, pulled up the hem of his clothes, and wiped it on his face a few times indiscriminately.

"Clap clap."

Ethan threw away the tissue and slapped his palms.

The others gathered around and stood in front of him.

"I don't need to explain the current situation." Ethan put his hands on his hips and said in a deep voice, "Director Perry has assigned the task of arresting Payne to our intelligence team."

"His family, his friends, his colleagues, all turned upside down for me."

"It doesn't matter who it is, whether it's in the police station or not."

"Also the casino he has been to, everyone he can come into contact with, even friends from childhood, you all have to find out and talk, and ask where Payne may be hiding."

"If someone doesn't cooperate, call me as soon as possible."

After scratching his humming ears, he looked at the crowd: "What we need to do is to dig out this mouse."

"clear."

A group of people responded at the same time, full of murderous intent.

Two days later, the Intelligence Group.

All the people present stood in awe, all wearing formal uniforms and big-brimmed hats.

Rusek stood next to Irene, casting envious eyes from the opposite side. He straightened his back even more. Not only the intelligence team, but Pratt and Hank were also watching.

"During the bombing and hostage-taking incident two days ago."

Perry said to everyone present: "The heroic actions of these three police officers saved the lives of [-] citizens in this city. Thanks to their efforts, [-] families were able to be reunited."

"Here, on behalf of the Chicago Police Department, I present all three of them with the Medal of Honor."

"Clap clap clap."

"Shhh~~~"

"Yeah, well done."

Everyone applauded, Atwater waved his arms enviously, and Antonio blew his whistle vigorously.

This is not a formal occasion, the atmosphere seems relaxed and happy.

In fact, according to the normal process for this kind of thing, the Chicago Police Department needs to set up an award dinner and invite reporters to come.

Police officers who receive awards will attend together with their family members to share the joy.

However, since Hank's time, a rule has been established. All affairs of the intelligence team should be handled in a low-key manner. News interviews and public appearances can be avoided if possible. Ethan also doesn't like high-profile people, so he continued this rule.

Therefore, they only held a simple ceremony in the Chase room on the second floor of the police station.

"Constable Adam Ruzek."

Director Perry picked up a medal from the box held by his assistant: "Thank you for your enthusiasm and dedication to Chicago."

"Thank you."

Ruzek bowed his head slightly, allowing Perry to hang the medal around his neck.

The two shook hands, and he walked back excitedly.

"Detective Erin Lindsay."

Director Perry repeated the procedure just now, and held Irene's hand: "Thank you for your enthusiasm and dedication to Chicago."

"Thank you."

Irene also grabbed the medal with a smile, squeezed her fist at Nadia who was standing at the back, and looked happily at the corner to the side.

Hank's serious face was also full of smiles.

Seeing Irene being commended, Hank's current state is happier than being commended himself.

"Sheriff Ethan Morgan."

Director Perry looked at the last person with a smile on his dark face.

"Thank you."

Ethan walked over and accepted the honor unceremoniously.

"This is what you deserve."

Perry helped Ethan wear the medal, feeling deeply moved.

When I was his age, I was still copying tickets all over the street, looking at the girls on the side of the road.

"Shh."

The three stood together and saluted neatly to everyone present.

When the applause stopped, Ethan blinked at Perry: "Director, isn't there any actual reward?"

"Take it out, I've seen it all."

"You guy." Perry shook his head with a smile, and took out the three envelopes in the box: "There are 5000 yuan in cash in each, which is a reward for the three of you from the company that belongs to the office building, one for each."

Erin and Ruzek took the envelope, grinning from ear to ear.

Ethan pinched the thin envelope, the corners of his mouth twitching.

It's too stingy, if something happens, the company will pay at least several million.

Now, only fifteen thousand.

"Shh!"

The envelope in his hand flew out and fell into Antonio's arms: "In the future, if more than three people in the group go to Molly's Bar, they can use this money until they drink it all up."

"Oh!!!"

"awesome."

Everyone cheered, the atmosphere was even more lively than before, and the roof was almost toppled over.

That's why everyone has a share and everyone is happy.

"Hahaha, I knew you would do this." Antonio happily patted the envelope in his hand, took off his big-brimmed hat and threw the money into it.

Rusek and Irene glanced at each other, and quietly stuffed the money in their hands into their pockets.

They were no better than Ethan, a big local tycoon, with almost a month's salary in it, but Olinsky still had his eyes on the two of them, and under the threat of everyone, they took out five hundred dollars distressedly, and scraped together a drink.

Regardless of the fuss of these people, Ethan walked back to the office.

He untied the medal and threw it away.

Ribbons dangled from pole hangers.

The corners of the eyes of the two people who came in behind twitched, but they still decided to ignore the scene.

"sit down."

Ethan pulled away the leather office chair and sat down.

Seeing the furnishings in the office, Hank had a toothache. Compared with now, he used to be in a doghouse.

During this time, Ethan purchased some items one after another.

On the corner of the desk, there was a vase filled with colorful flowers, which made Perry greedy for a while. As the branch chief, he could only shake his head.

However, everyone knows that this is a rich man.

"Do you have any news?"

Ethan played with the lighter and exchanged information with them.

Not only the intelligence team, but even the violent crime team and Perry are trying to find out the whereabouts of Payne. There is no way. This man is too dangerous. He is from the bomb disposal team and has great resentment towards the police. .

If you don't catch him as soon as possible, you don't know what will happen next time.

It's just that Payne has been a policeman for 20 years, and he has a particularly strong sense of anti-reconnaissance. In the past two days, the intelligence team has gained nothing.

"No."

Director Perry shook his head and looked at Hank.

The latter also shook his head helplessly, spread his hands and said, "It's not so easy for us to find someone who can stay in an elevator for two days."

After the three communicated with each other about the follow-up direction, Hank and Perry left one after another.

The nerves should not be too tight, but should be properly relaxed.

In the evening, in order to celebrate the intelligence team being commended, the 6000 yuan that I had collected earlier came in handy.

Molly Bar, a group of people sat together.

Ethan took a sip of bourbon, saw Rusek coming in by himself, and put down his glass: "Can't Orlinski come over?"

Just now, the two of them went to collect information together.

"I won't be able to come here until later."

Horstead stood up and let Ruzek in, who continued, "He's going to see an informant."

"boom."

Several wine glasses collided.

Everyone drank wine together and chatted about some things in life.

Tonight, at the pull of Irene, Nadia also came to celebrate together. She sat silently in the corner drinking wine, listening to the words of several people.

In front of criminals, these people are the intelligence team that strikes hard.

In front of life, they are just ordinary people who worry about many small things.

Antonio thought about it. His daughter is now entering puberty and has a rebellious tendency. The house is noisy all the time. Now he just hopes that the child will not touch the leaves or get tattoos.

Atwater provides most of the family's expenses, saying that he is under great pressure, but his younger siblings are still obedient.

On the other hand, Rusek complained about his fiancée fighting with him.

Horsted, on the other hand, has a headache and the rent is going to rise again, and discusses whether to move to another apartment.

What I said and what I talked about were all the little things in life.

For them, this is an alternative psychotherapy, through talking to each other, to release the pressure little by little.

Nadia glanced curiously at Ethan who was sitting across from him. This guy didn't seem to have these troubles. There was always a smile on the corner of his mouth. Just like herself, he just drank quietly.

She knows her situation and every day is a new life.

Also because of this reason, she has nothing to complain about, and she already feels lucky enough to know such a group of friends.

According to others, Sheriff Morgan also has a Ferrari.

Nadia shook the ice cubes in the glass and sighed enviously. She couldn't imagine that kind of life. Maybe when she went out to eat, she could give a tip of five or ten yuan to pay herself for working for an hour. Already working.

Someone like him shouldn't have any troubles.

Thinking of this, Nadia propped her elbows on the table, propped her chin, and stared diagonally across.

So handsome!

Ethan was thinking about the clues in his hands when he noticed a gaze falling on him.

Finding that it was Nadia, he grinned and raised his wine glass as a gesture.

Nadia was startled, and hurriedly looked away.

"Shet."

The glass door of the bar opened, and Orlinsky hurried over. He cursed in a low voice, and brought a glass of undrinked Manhattan to his mouth.

The Adam's apple rolled, and the cocktail quickly bottomed out.

"Boom."

He put the cup heavily on the wooden table, looked at Ethan: "You are in trouble."

Turning his head again, he pointed to Horsted:

"You, too, are in trouble."

"Oh?" Ethan smiled, shrugged and said, "This is not new at all. I rarely have trouble."

Rusek and Nadia continued to move inside, Horstead gave up his position outside, and asked with a puzzled look: "What trouble can I have, I'm just a small person."

"Oscar."

Orlinsky took off his duckbill cap and threw it on the table: "Because of Jacob's death, he issued a reward in prison."

"My informant received the wind and told me the news just now."

He scratched his messy hair and patted Horstead on the shoulder: "Your life is worth a hundred thousand dollars now."

"As for you, my Sheriff."

Orlinsky picked up another glass of wine and gestured to Ethan, "$20."

"what?"

Ethan spread his hands in disbelief: "Is there only this one?"

"Please, who are you looking down on?"

The faces of the others became serious, but the two parties seemed calm. Horstead picked up his glass and took a sip of the wine.

"Hey."

Rusek pushed Horstead: "Now someone is offering you a reward, and you have become a target. Can you give me some feedback?"

"What's the matter." Horstead shook his head:

"When I was on a mission overseas, you would kill me or I would kill you every day. I'm used to this kind of life."

Antonio put down his glass, looking serious.

He looked at his little brother and said in a deep voice: "People on the road offer rewards to the police, usually [-] U.S. dollars. You are [-] U.S. dollars. Don't underestimate the power of [-] U.S. dollars."

"If you have this mentality, why not let me do it."

"With $[-], I can pretty much pay off my mortgage."

"You can try it." Horsted smiled and shook his head: "I seriously doubt that you can do it."

"but."

His expression became serious: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will pay attention."
