Luo Ang glanced at Baierden who was standing diagonally across from him. His face was pale and he didn't look very good.

He understood what Perry said before leaving. The black director of the 21st Precinct agreed that he would intervene in the official case of the Eight Paws. At the same time, it also meant that he needed to be responsible for the subsequent security issues in his jurisdiction.

Even though this is Biden's responsibility, after what he said now and what Perry said, if the security in the neighborhood is not stabilized next Monday, he will definitely be thrown out by Perry to be the one who takes the blame.

!

Suddenly finding himself carrying such a heavy burden, how could Baiden look good?

Hank, standing next to him, was even worse. His eyebrows were brought together, and his face looking forward with a slightly arched expression was extremely gloomy.

Although Perry tricked Baiden, he also allowed him to legitimately intervene in the Ba Zhao case. He had negotiated with the other party before, and the personnel arrangement of the intelligence team and the case at hand were all decided by him alone.

But now Perry's attitude suddenly changed, and the implications revealed in it shocked the old man who had experienced a lot of internal strife.

However, compared with Antonio's father, who had just received the worst bad news, it was obvious that he was in the worst mood among everyone present.

It was obvious that after the second rescue failed, the Hispanic police detective had vaguely thought of negotiating with Ba Zhao who was imprisoned in the branch.

And he and Hank mentioned it vaguely on the way back to the police station. The other party didn't agree, but he didn't say no, and that was enough for him.

With Hank's acquiescence and through his many years of friendship in the police station, Antonio felt that there was a 70% chance that he would convince Perry of the station to agree to trade with Ba Zhao in exchange for his son.

All these years of hard work in the Chicago Police Department were not in vain. After he consciously persuaded Hank, who was directly under his jurisdiction, Perry, the newly appointed chief, would still give him a face. As a result, the previous conversation

, shattered all his hopes.

"Bang"

Antonio slid to the ground in a dejected manner, his expression mixed with sadness and despair. The superior did not agree to the negotiation, and he himself could not find any trace of Matteo. There was only one fate left for Diego...

How do you expect that South American to let his son go?

Just after reading through the cases the other party had committed over the years and looking at the various acts recorded above, he no longer had any luck with him. He was a villain who had committed many murders.

Among the cases the other party has been prosecuted for, they even included the murder of two eighty-year-old men and a baby!

How could such a bastard, who should be shot directly, show mercy to Diego?

"Digo...what should I do...how should I tell Laura..."

Irene came to Antonio, who was paralyzed on the ground and muttering to himself in despair, and comforted him in a low voice: "Hey, Dawson, don't be like this, we still have hope, and Diego is still waiting for you to save him.

Woolen cloth."

"Oh……"

With a sad laugh, Antonio shook his head in despair and said nothing, but Irene could see what he was thinking. The successive failed actions, coupled with Perry's words, made the once fearless police detective doubt that he could successfully rescue his son.

, no longer respond with fantasies.

"It's all your fault!"

Horsted suddenly rushed in front of Roang and grabbed him by the collar.

"If it weren't for the fact that you came over and said that your bullshit cousin found out about Matteo's whereabouts, we wouldn't have been waiting in the police station for so long. What's the result?"

"Now that Diego has not been found, and Perry does not agree to the deal with Octopus, the responsibility for all this lies with you!"

"Just because you were so slow in delivering the news, that damn bastard escaped. Now that Diego can't be saved, you bastard must apologize to Antonio immediately!"

Finding that her partner suddenly yelled at Leon, Irene stood up hurriedly, pulled the two of them apart, and said dissatisfied: "Hey, Jay! You shouldn't blame Leon so much. He has already worked hard to help us. What's important now is

Aren't we trying to find a way to save Diego?"

Horsted shook off Irene's hand and pointed at Antonio on the ground.

"Lindsay, look at what Dawson is like now. If this guy hadn't said he could find Matteo, would we have been waiting in the police station for three hours?"

"You also graduated from the police academy. According to the teaching, the golden time for successful hostage rescue in a kidnapping case is 72 hours, but this is not the first day of work for us. You and I both understand that in cases like Diego, only the very beginning

The 24 hours are the key!”

"That's enough, don't say any more!"

Ignoring Eileen's dissuasion, Horsted loudly said what everyone present knew: "Irene, don't you know what the chance of successfully rescuing the hostages in a child kidnapping case will be more than 24 hours later?"

"It's almost 9 o'clock now, and the best rescue time has passed, but we haven't even found the whereabouts of the kidnapper. If this kid hadn't wasted his time, we might have been able to get there before Matteo left the hotel.

And Antonio can bring his son back!"

Faced with his accusation, Roang showed no emotional change, and this calmness made Horsted even more angry. In his opinion, this friend of Irene who suddenly appeared was probably related to Ba Zhao.

A group of people are related, otherwise why would they appear one after another?

"Hey, I said before that there is definitely something wrong with this kid. Look at his reaction now. Is that calm expression what ordinary people should show?"

Horsted pointed at Roang, as if he had found a clue to support his statement, and looked at the others excitedly.

Hearing what he said, Irene, Antonio, Erwin and others all subconsciously looked at Roang and found that his expression was indeed calm and scary, as if he was not the one being accused by the detective at this moment.

He reached out and touched his forehead, ignoring Horstead who was accusing him. Roang didn't know why the other party disliked him, but he knew who among the people present was the truly important person, so he looked towards

Hank said calmly.

"Chief, your men seem to be very impulsive, why don't you try to dissuade them?"

After staring at him for three seconds, Hank shouted hoarsely: "Shut up!"

"Hank, I'm sure there's something wrong with this kid. Maybe he's on the same team as Octopus."

Horsted was still chattering, but suddenly he heard the boss of the intelligence team say angrily: "Shut the fxxk up!"

Sensing his dissatisfaction, he finally stopped mumbling.

With both hands supporting the desk behind him, the eyes of the old man with dyed white hair looked particularly energetic at this time. He looked around, his eyes paused on Antonio for a second, and then he said loudly.

"Poor Diego still doesn't know whether he's dead or alive, and you just give up?"

"I didn't recruit you into the intelligence team just to watch a bunch of losers quarreling here!"

With that said, Hank walked to the center of the hall in two steps, with one hand on his hips and one pointing at the writing board behind him, which had the faces and names of several people on it, including the arrested Adras Diaz and the fugitive Mateo.

"Now, you guys cheer me up!"
