Living in North America, working from 9 to 5

Chapter 35 Something is wrong with Gordon

After submitting the written report, Roy returned home at dawn. He worked almost 24 hours yesterday.

Normally, he should rest today and not have to go to the bureau.

However, a family was murdered last night, and Roy was involved. Two of the three members of the family were killed by his gun.

The police station only gave the officers on duty last night one morning to rest. Except for Officer House who was in hospital, Richard, Mia, Tom and Roy were all required to arrive at the police station before 2 pm for further questioning.

The alarm goes off...

Roy, dazed, reached out and slapped Jerry the alarm clock on the head.

With my eyes closed, I fumbled for my cell phone on the bedside table, opened it, and saw a text message. The name on the message was Irina, and the message was received at 9 a.m.

"I heard you're going to do physiological counseling again?"

Roy snorted and laughed: "You are really well-informed."

He did not reply to Irina immediately, but threw his phone aside, got out of bed, stretched his body, went to the living room, and saw the gift box he had placed on the coffee table last night.

Roy cut open the gift box with a wallpaper knife.

Inside the gift box, $30,000 was wrapped in fluffy tissue paper.

Roy took out three stacks of money, returned to the bedroom, opened the closet, lifted the cloth, and put the proceeds from handling the body into the safe.

Before washing up, Roy threw the entire gift box into the pot on the stove, turned on the range hood, lit the gift box, and went into the bathroom.

……

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Roy arrived at the bureau on time as required.

As soon as I walked in, I saw strange looks from my colleagues.

In the office lobby, male and female colleagues gathered in groups of three or five, whispering.

"Look, here comes Roy."

"He's going to be on administrative leave again, right?"

"If I remember correctly, this is the third time I've been on administrative leave, right?"

"Yeah, he only worked one day after his last vacation, and he's going to be on vacation again. What kind of damn luck is this."

"I heard that last night it was Captain Richard's team that knocked on the wrong door and shot dead an entire family, two of whom were killed by Roy."

"Destroy the whole family?"

"Yes, the whole family was wiped out."

"What about their property?"

"If no heirs are found, the property will go to the Federation."

"Then I have to quickly make a will for my next-door neighbor."

Roy ignored his colleagues' gossip and walked straight to his workstation.

Seeing Roy coming, Richard came forward:

"Thank you for last night, Roy."

The two hugged and patted each other on the back.

Roy smiled and said, "That's what I should do. How's House?"

"He's fine. He had an operation overnight and the bullet in his arm was removed. He can take three months of paid vacation this time," Richard said.

While Roy was talking to Richard, Mia and Tom also came up to them. Mia took the lead in hugging Roy: "You are really excellent."

Roy also patted Mia on the back.

After the two separated, Tom went up to Roy and hugged him. "Thank you. My mother said she's going to hold a celebration party this weekend and asked me to invite you. She wants to thank you in person for saving her son."

Roy and Tom bumped fists and smiled, "If it's nothing important, I'll definitely go."

Tom: "Oh, by the way, House asked me to thank you for him."

"We are all brothers, and we are on a mission together. There is no need to be polite."

Sudden.

Warm applause broke out in the office hall. Everyone applauded Richard and his friends for surviving the disaster, and at the same time cast envious glances at Roy.

I just returned to work after vacation for only one day, and now I have to take vacation again.

Do you believe it?
If it hadn't really happened in front of these police officers, no one would have believed it.

As for the family that was wiped out, no police officer would sympathize with them.

In America, if you dare to point a gun at the police, isn't that a pure act of seeking death?
But that's not all. The old man also shot and injured a police officer. The police officers' handling of the scene was reasonable, legal, and compliant. As for the Castle Law? Just listen to it. The police's right to self-defense and counterattack is above all else.

The scene in which Richard knocked on the door and revealed his identity was completely recorded by the car's video equipment, and most of the shooting process was also recorded. Even if the lawsuit is brought to the federal level, the Brooklyn Branch will surely win.

What's more, there was no one at the other party's home.

"Roy, the chief wants you to go to his office." Gordon's secretary, Officer Dai Lin, came up to everyone and said to Roy.

"Ok!"

Amid the applause, Roy walked towards Gordon's office.

dong dong dong-

"Come in!"

Roy pushed the door open and closed it.

"sit down!"

Roy sat down opposite Gordon.

"How about the present?" Gordon asked.

"Thank you, Director."

"Is the matter settled?"

"Yes, completely gone."

"You've done a great job. You're my most proud student. If you work hard, there will be plenty of work to do and you'll make endless money. When you've been a police officer for a year, I'll personally sign a promotion order and give you a promotion and a raise."

"Thank you for your cultivation, Director."

Roy found a piece of information from Gordon's words, which was "You are the most proud student I have ever brought up." He was not referring to the profession of police, but scavenger. Roy keenly captured the information that Gordon inadvertently leaked.

Gordon has more than one scavenger under his command.

“You have to remember who brought you into the industry, who gave you the opportunity to make money, and who has always been protecting you.”

"Please rest assured, Director. I understand."

"How is your sister doing? Is there enough money for next month's medical expenses? If not, I have some money here. You can come to me anytime to get it."

Roy could tell that he was being pointed at.

But why did Gordon point this out at this time?
Roy began to think.

He replied, "Counting the 30,000 this time, the 50,000 last time, and the share of money that the gangs in my neighborhood will hand in next month, we'll almost have the money together."

"Very good." Gordon nodded. "How long do you want to take this vacation?"

"It's okay for me not to take a vacation. I just took one a few days ago."

"Take a break. Richard and the others are taking a break too. If you don't, your colleagues will think you're working too hard. You've been a bit in the spotlight lately."

"Then I'll listen to you, Director."

"Well, let's go."

Roy stood up and left Gordon's office.

Outside, he ran into Gordon's secretary, Dai Lin.

Dai Lin handed Roy a document for him to sign, and then said:
"By the way, Roy, our branch has cancelled the cooperation with Irina's Psychological Counseling Clinic and has now switched back to Xilin's Psychological Counseling Clinic. I have already made an appointment for you and Richard. You can go together tomorrow afternoon."

Hearing Dai Lin's words, Roy was stunned, and then replied:

"Okay, I know."

Change psychological counseling clinic again?

How is this going?

Irina?
