People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

Coming to their senses, the two looked at each other, gave a wry smile, then opened the car door and got out.

Ding Zegang had just put away his gun when he saw Abruzzi and the other man come down. He greeted them with a smile, "Help me find their service pistols, magazines, and police badges first, then carry them back to the police car."

Abruzzi and Ron didn't waste any words and obediently did as they were told.

Ding Ze also moved, went straight to the police car, and looked inside.

Hey, there's a large-caliber shotgun stuck next to the driver's seat.

Take it away!

Then, after a quick search, he found a box of shotgun shells in the glove box and put it away.

After Abruzzi and his companion placed the body in the back of the police car, Ding Ze didn't waste any time and said, "Pour some gasoline on it, and then we should leave."

The words had barely been spoken when

[You successfully released Officer Oni, reward doubled: Close Combat Skills (Beginner)]

[You successfully released Officer Ose; reward doubled: one Health Improvement Voucher.]

"???"

Upon hearing this, Ding Ze was slightly taken aback, but quickly sensed the health improvement coupon and understood that it could improve his health.

So, it was used.

[Health level (general health) → Successful improvement → Health level (normal health)]

Immediately, Ding Ze did feel more energetic.

Baton!

A few minutes later.

The raging fire slowly engulfed the police car.

Ding Ze and his two companions continued their journey.

We hadn't walked for long.

'Boom! '

The sound of the police car exploding reached the ears of the three people.

None of the three turned around.

After that, no further accidents occurred.

The three arrived at the airport safely, boarded a private plane, and flew towards Indiana.

It was past midnight, and a new day had begun.

*******

Ma Hong acted swiftly, arriving at the Tule City Police Department not long ago.

Upon arriving at the police station, Ma Hong wasted no time and immediately learned the details of the mother and daughter in the suburbs. Then, he politely asked the officer on duty to lead the way to question the mother and daughter.

Upon hearing this, the officer on duty doubted his ears. "Detective Ma Hong, it's already past midnight. Isn't it inappropriate to ask questions at this hour?"

“I know what time it is,” Ma Hong said impatiently, “but do you know how many people Ding Ze has killed? And do you know how many more people will die if we don’t catch him soon?”

The officer on duty was speechless.

Before Mahone arrived, Agent Lan, who was at the FBI's Chicago office, contacted them to explain the situation.

The officer on duty actually knew the answer to the previous question, so he didn't refuse any longer and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll take you there."

The distance is not short.

About an hour later, Ma Hong arrived.

On the way, the officer on duty contacted the policewoman, so the house was brightly lit at this time.

Ma Hong showed his ID and entered smoothly. After a few polite words of concern, he got straight to the point and said to the mother and daughter, "Please tell me the whole story in order, without omitting any details."

Neither the mother nor the daughter had any objections, and they quickly began to discuss it.

After listening quietly, Ma Hong noticed something was off about the old woman's daughter, the policewoman. He quickly straightened up and asked the policewoman, "Lila, right? It seems like you have something to say."

I had indeed been hiding this from you, and it was all seen through...

Policewoman Lila instinctively panicked, bit her lip, glanced sideways at the old woman beside her, and gritted her teeth to insist, "I've already told you."

Ma Hong, with his sharp eyes, naturally noticed Lila's unusual reaction and immediately stood up. "Alright, then please take me to the garage."

After saying that, Ma Hong immediately instructed the officer on duty who had brought him there, "You stay here with Lila's mother."

As a police officer, Lila was well aware of this tactic of trying to talk to her privately, but what could she do?

no way.

Lila had no choice but to comply.

In the garage.

Beside the large pit.

"It's just the two of us here. So, tell me, what are you hiding?" Ma Hong asked sternly, not wanting to waste any time.

Lila blushed slightly, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke up, telling everyone that she had suddenly become aroused and lost her senses after arriving at her doorstep during the day.

Ma Hong was genuinely surprised to hear such a thing, and after a moment of shock, he realized a possibility.

Certain drugs can cause a person's libido to surge, something Mahone, a veteran FBI agent, was well aware of.

Therefore, combined with Lila's explanation...

'Is this the third method of poisoning?'

Thinking it was inappropriate to ask, Ma Hong still asked, "So, you two didn't have sex?"

Lila looked embarrassed and immediately shook her head upon hearing this, "Absolutely not! I collapsed just as things were about to go wrong!"

Ma Hong was skeptical, paused briefly, and stared intently at Lila.

His intuition told him that Lila had something else she hadn't said.

Ma Hong was a little unhappy about this.

He had been working non-stop for over twenty hours without sleep, and this woman in front of him was doing the same thing, constantly hiding the truth.

"Lila, this is your last chance!" Displeased, Ma Hong's tone changed, becoming fierce. "Confess everything you haven't said! Otherwise, you know the consequences of protecting a criminal!"

hum.

Lila was startled, her eyes showing obvious panic. She really dared not hide it any longer and hurriedly confessed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll talk, I'll talk."

"Before leaving, that young thug slipped $20,000 into my pocket, saying it was for my child's formula..."

Lila's living conditions were limited, and $20,000 was a significant sum for her, which she was very reluctant to part with. She added, "I'm a single mother, and my baby will be born in six months. I really need that $20,000, which is why I haven't told you yet..."

Mahone wasn't interested in the $20,000, but he was somewhat surprised that Ding Ze, a murderer, hadn't harmed Lila, hadn't killed her, and had even given her money before leaving...

This behavior is completely inconsistent with Ding Ze's atrocities of killing more than twenty people.

Where's the money?

However, despite his lack of interest, he still needed to investigate. Ma Hong asked, "I need to check. If that money is unrelated to the case, I can pretend I don't know anything about it."

Hear the words.

Lila smiled gratefully immediately. "Thank you. The money is in my room. I'll take you there..."

Not long after.

In Lila's room.

Ma Hong saw the two stacks of US dollars that Ding Ze left for Lila, and more importantly, he saw the two lines of text on the front of the two stacks of US dollars.

"Oscar Sholes".

"Find me, let's talk."

moment.

Ma Hong was struck dumb, his whole body stiffened, and he couldn't move an inch.

Chapter 51 A phone call left Lila stunned [Third update]

Oscar Sholes.

A criminal who commits all sorts of evil deeds, yet possesses exceptionally high intelligence and is incredibly cunning.

Several years ago, he was in charge of capturing Shores. He tracked him down for a long time, expended a lot of effort, and almost caught him several times, but time and time again, the man managed to escape...

At last.

He finally caught the man, and then made a choice that was contrary to his identity.

Instead of arresting Sholes and bringing him to trial, he took the law into his own hands, shooting and killing Sholes and burying his body in his own yard.

This is his biggest secret to date.

If this secret is exposed, he will not only lose everything, but he will also be arrested and imprisoned!
