At the same moment, without any hurry or delay, the empty bus followed behind the minibus.

There are also two people ready.

They wore the same dark blue uniforms of the Interstate Passenger Transport Company, the same style as the black female drivers.

Among them, the young ones are concentrating on driving the bus forward.

The older man asked, holding a walkie-talkie.

"Should we start action now? Isn't it too fast? Maybe we can wait until the bus reaches the second half of the tunnel, block the front and rear exits, and then carry out rescue operations."

This old man wearing an Intercontinental Passenger Transport Company hat came out from the walkie-talkie in his hand, Hank's hoarse voice, accompanied by some electric sounds from time to time.

"Erwin, we can't delay it any longer..."

Hank, who had already ambushed in the tunnel, specially adjusted the conversation channel so that their next conversation would not be heard by other detectives using the channel.

"Just now, a superintendent from the Chicago Police Department informed me that this rescue operation needs to end as soon as possible. Some people are dissatisfied with our blockade of Union Station and feel that it is a waste of police resources."

"For the sake of a ten-year-old boy, these battles were staged, the station was blocked, and multiple police stations were involved in a joint operation. So many police forces were mobilized. Is this an excessive waste of public resources?"

"These are the exact words of prosecutor Darren who made the protest. You should understand what this means. Some people are dissatisfied with our action of blocking Union Station, so Darren was specifically asked to send a message to the top brass of the police department.

"

"Prosecutor?"

Erwin asked with a strange expression on his hand, holding on to the railing inside the car.

"Darren? That state prosecutor named Darren Lachlan? He hasn't always flaunted his strict enforcement of the law, so why would he come out to attack us at this time? I haven't heard of any conflicts between him and the police department?"

Hank looked at Horsted, who was lying on the ground not far away with a sniper rifle at the ready, hesitated and explained.

"I heard the vague meaning of Congressman Kingsley. Prosecutor Darren seems to have been involved in a certain Union Station case recently. You should be aware of the series of car accidents that occurred not far from the exit of Union Station not long ago.

Case?"

Erwin frowned. He had indeed heard about this case. After the accident, there were a lot of media reports, including the Chicago Tribune.

"That six-car pile-up accident that killed five people and sent eighteen people to the hospital, including a bus? I heard that because this case involved a large number of people, wasn't it jointly investigated by people from the 11th Precinct assisting the General Bureau?

?What does it have to do with Prosecutor Darren..."

The expression on Hank's face was a little ugly, but unfortunately no one could notice his expression at the moment.

"I asked someone to inquire about this serial car accident case. The results of the initial investigation by people from the 11th Precinct showed that Union Station needs to bear a large part of the responsibility for this accident..."

"Because when they were repairing the exit road, they did not take the initiative to apply for closed road section signs and road prompts in accordance with the requirements of the municipal government! The bus that should have taken the two-lane road on the other side mistakenly entered the closed road section.

This led to this series of car accidents!"

"According to the investigator's confession from the 11th Precinct, the bus's driving route has always been this way in the past, so the driver habitually drove to the closed road section."

"The most important point is that at the intersection where the closure measures should have been reminded, before the road was repaired, there should have been road section reminders, and even roadblocks were not placed. This is the main reason why the bus mistakenly entered the closed section.

."

This was the first time Erwin knew the inside story of the car accident, and his brows subconsciously frowned.

"Since there are no roadblocks, how can road maintenance be carried out? Is this against the rules?"

Hank said coldly: "It's not Union Station yet. I didn't agree with the price quoted by the city. I felt that the cost of tens of millions for that section of road was too high, so I went to find another road maintenance company. As a result, this company had no regard for the nearby roads."

The road was not familiar enough and the road section where the car accident happened was missed, which led to the occurrence of serial car accidents."

Hank held the walkie-talkie in his hand and looked at the tall buildings in the distance.

"In the accident liability statement that the 11th Precinct was supposed to issue, the maintenance company was primarily responsible and Union Station was jointly and severally liable. However, the owner of the maintenance company absconded after the accident and is now wanted by the police station."

Erwin asked strangely: "Since the responsibilities for the accident have been divided, why did people from the General Administration intervene in the investigation and even bring Darren over?"

Hank snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Those who were not at Union Station yet did not recognize the report of the 11th Precinct. They believed that the burden they shouldered was too heavy and asked for a re-investigation. After coordination, people from the General Administration and the 11th Precinct re-investigated for a second time..."

"During the second investigation, the witnesses who originally confirmed that there were no closed roadblocks at the turn changed their stories one after another, and Darren took the initiative to apply to take charge of the case, and finally gave away the 58 million compensation that was supposed to be paid to Union Station.

, lowered to 22 million!”

"Even now, this group of people are still arguing that they are making public welfare compensation out of humanitarian reasons and asking the municipal government to take over the responsibility for road maintenance that they have applied for."

Erwin held onto the railing and sighed suddenly.

He knew that it would be no good if the General Administration suddenly intervened in the investigation.

It is not normal for a witness to change his confession, significantly reduce the accident compensation, and then leave the road maintenance that he is responsible for to the Chicago city government. However, the media did not report anything. It is really...

Hank on the other end rubbed his face helplessly and finished the rest of his words.

"There are indeed a lot of tricks here, but they are not something we can control now. I will tell you what I know. It is said that Darren, a prosecutor who has always claimed that he is a strict law enforcement officer, has been hard at work in these changes..."

Hank pulled off the Kevlar vest on his chest in a slightly irritable manner.

"I'm not surprised that he is suddenly standing up for the station again. You and I both understand that he must have gotten involved with the Union Station board of directors from this case, which is why he is so active. Only they know the specific transactions.

The problem now is..."

"The station is very dissatisfied with the blockade we just implemented and thinks it has delayed them from making money, so they specifically asked Darren to speak on their behalf and warn us to lift the blockade as soon as possible."

"So?" Erwin said in a low tone.

"So, one hour is the deadline given to us by the superintendent. If we delay it any longer, he will arrange for HBT in Chicago to come forward. They will not care about the life of a mixed-race child and will only solve the problem in the shortest possible time!
