Chapter 212: Drunkard Killer
“Chief, why are you here?”
Ross looked surprised, and the rest of them stood up as well.
Terrence waved his hand, telling everyone not to be so reserved, then, he said, “I watched the entire death broadcast. You all performed very well. Although you didn’t destroy the Death Inquisitor’s conspiracy, the imposing manner we displayed was a good start. We believe that the results will be better and better in the future.”
Ross nodded, then Monica’s cold voice came out. “Director, if it is a compliment, do not say it just yet. I have something important to handle. I will leave first.”
Terrence also knew that Monica’s expression was not right, especially in the live broadcast of her performance. Her cold action and bloodthirsty eyes made her difficult to keep in eye contact with.
In his memory, Monica had always been a wise and calm person. Terrence knew very well why such a huge change had taken place.
It was because of The Death Inquisitor!
With such a powerful opponent, one had to say that it was a huge mountain in everyone’s hearts.
Especially this time, the Death Inquisitor actually dared to do whatever he wanted in front of the police. He openly challenged the authority of the police and ignored the laws of the country. Yet, he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything. This kind of helplessness in the bottom of his heart was too much to bear. Even if it was anyone else, they would have collapsed on the spot.
Terrence sighed and looked at the police officers around him and said, “Comrades, you’ve worked hard. I know that everyone has been very tired during this period. But as police officers, it is our duty to uphold fairness and justice. It is also our duty. We must protect the people’s last line of defense and resolutely prevent evil from happening.”
Ross and the others immediately straightened up and shouted, “Yes, Director Terrence.”
“Yes!” Terrence walked to the computer and entered his email. He opened a top-secret document. “Let me tell you a piece of good news. The country has agreed to allocate funds to build a Hawkeye base, link it with CIA intelligence, and jointly establish a nationwide video recording function so that the Death Inquisitor has nowhere to hide. In addition, there will be a new member joining you this afternoon. You may have heard of this person before. He is known as The Drunkard Killer.”
They had all heard of the name. However, he had suddenly resigned from the police station a few years ago and disappeared before the eyes of the public. No one knew where he had gone.
Why had he suddenly appeared now?
Chief Terrence had personally come to inform them. There was probably a big story behind this.
Ross narrowed his eyes, but he did not say anything.
In the afternoon, a police officer in an SUV arrived at the station. Ross and the others had been informed a few minutes ago and were waiting at the door.
In fact, when Chief Terrence said that the “drunkard” was coming, Ross and the others did not have much of a reaction because the man’s reputation in the police system was not good. He was a heavy drinker and his emotions were volatile. No one had a good impression of him, so they didn’t have any special feelings concerning his arrival.
His joining the Zero Major Crimes Squad, however, was a bit special.
So Ross ordered Judy to investigate, and the results were fruitful.
The Drunkard Killer’s original name was Sandy. When he was very young, his father died in the line of duty. He was good at graffiti, and he had a strong memory and logical reasoning ability. He could perfectly reconstruct the crime scene with just one look. Some people said he was crazy, and some said he was a pervert, but some people said that he was more like a killer.
He was a sharp sword hanging over the head of evil, killing evil.
As for why he got a demerit, the file was very clear. The reason for it all started from a criminal case a few years ago.
His sister, his only sister, was raped and killed by kidnappers. He personally participated in the arrest. The murderer would not have died and would have been punished by the law, but in the end, he died.
The drunkard had broken the suspect’s psychological defense line and had chosen to commit suicide.
Later, Sandy had mysteriously disappeared. The police announced that he had taken a year off.
However, during that year, no one knew where he had gone or who he had come into contact with. He was like a kite with a broken string. He had disappeared without a trace.
Therefore, for such a person, Ross felt that it was a double-edged sword. There were both advantages and disadvantages. The key was knowing how to wield and use it.
If it was really as recorded in the files, breaking the psychological defense of the murderer, then he would be no different from the Death Inquisitor. It was a bit of a headache to think about it.
“He’s coming, he’s coming. Everyone says that he drinks like his life depends on it. If he often comes to work drunk, wouldn’t he be a burden to us?” Judy looked at Ross.
“That’s impossible, not to mention it’s not allowed in our department. Even if it were other law enforcement departments, they wouldn’t allow him to drink to work,” Anthony said a few words, then he changed his tone. “Unless he’s really capable and can find some clues. When we catch the Death Inquisitor, forget about drinking, we can let him come with us for a few drinks.”
“All right, stop talking. The car is here!” Monica’s expression was still cold. To be honest, she was a little disgusted with this new teammate.
Drinking would only affect the speed at which she drew her gun.
Moreover, although this guy was said to be smart and skillful, he was still a drunkard.
At this moment, a driver got out of the car, but the drunkard’s figure was still nowhere to be seen. Ross was a little dumbfounded. The Drunkard was already there. Where was he?
Could it be that this guy had such a big ego that he doesn’t want to go personally?
The young policeman who was the driver scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, “When I went to pick him up, he was already extremely drunk. Now he’s lying in the back seat of the car. He’s drunk and sleeping!”
Everyone was speechless when they heard that. Ross was even more speechless.
Today was his reporting day. In order to express their welcome, all the members of the Zero Major Crimes Squad lined up to greet him. However, this guy actually didn’t take them seriously at all. He was actually drunk!
Ross’s gaze settled and he said coldly, “Anthony, Loggins, Willie, get him out of the car.”
“Yes!”
The three of them opened the car door and were all stunned. Their eyelids twitched violently, and they were speechless.
The drunkard’s legs were spread out in a large font, and one of his legs was curled under his body. One of his legs was placed on the skylight, and his face was as red as a monkey’s butt. He looked like an engineer who had fired a cannon.
F*ck, this posture was really awesome!
Anthony seemed to have discovered a new world. He smiled evilly at Loggins and said, “This posture, if I give him a shot at this time, I bet he won’t wake up.”
Loggins was already used to his personality. He only glanced at him for a day out of boredom and ignored him.
Seeing this, Anthony chuckled and turned his head away.
The few of them returned to the warehouse and threw the drunkard onto the sofa. This fellow seemed to be neither light nor heavy, but they did not expect him to be a bit heavy. In just a few minutes’ journey, he had exhausted the few of them until their bodies went soft.
There were less than 12 hours left before the three-day deadline. Ross glanced at them and saw that they were not in high spirits. He could not help but think of the last time. It was the same plot and the same time. They were also full of fighting spirit and announced that they would capture the Death Inquisitor. In the end, they failed.
They failed miserably.
Could it be that they were going to let the plot repeat itself this time and let others pin the shame on their faces? No, absolutely not.
‘Death Inquisitor…We can’t let you get away with this. Aren’t you a badass? Although you hide very deep, I believe that one day, you will have nowhere to hide, exposed in the day, and subject to the law. I believe!’
