A swift and decisive victory in the early stages, a post-apocalyptic survival story in America!

As the crime scene, the two warehouses that once belonged to Nick were sealed off and cannot be entered in the short term.

Li Qi didn't want to cause trouble, and Lola didn't want to break the law, so the two stopped their car on the road in front of the warehouse and received treatment inside the car.

The results were unexpectedly good. Lola was incredibly compliant. She didn't feel nervous or defensive in front of a strange psychologist and opened her heart to Li Qi completely, telling him everything without reservation.

Li Qi knew perfectly well that he had gotten the better deal. A typical psychologist wouldn't have such an unconditional and unreserved foundation of trust.

After being a good girl for so many years, the other side of Lola, which had always been suppressed and restrained, was released by Li Qi. She roared, howled, and struggled, her fingertips leaving bloody marks on Li Qi's back, but in doing so, she gradually soothed the wounds deep in her heart...

Li Qi grinned as he put on his clothes, saying half-jokingly, "I'll put all of this on your tab and send you the bill later. Remember to pay!"

Exhausted, Lola seemed too weak to even lift a finger. She replied listlessly, "They forced me to call them 'daddy,' and they didn't even ask for money, yet they want me to pay..."

Li Qi was speechless: "That was your own choice to call it, what does it have to do with me?"

Lola barely opened her eyes: "Wasn't it you who allowed it in the first place?"

Li Qi was at a loss for words and had no arguments.

"Stay at my place tonight?" Richie asked Laura as he started the Dodge and drove back.

"Is it too much trouble?" Lola lay on the back seat, swaying with the swaying of the car.

"It's no trouble. Sophia is a very nice person, Nalin is very well-behaved, and Cindy Sophie and Anastina are both carefree types. You'll like them."

Lola rested for a long time before getting up and starting to get dressed: "Are you planning to continue like this? Have you thought about what will happen in the future?"

Li Qi shrugged and said without turning his head, "Once you help them get permanent residency, I'll let them leave. Those who want to leave will receive some money; those who want to stay can live together, I won't force them."

Lola was stunned: "What is this? Polygamy?"

Li Qi smiled and shook his head: "It's not that complicated. I don't plan to marry anyone, nor will I make any vows of eternal love to anyone. If we like each other, we'll be together; if we don't, we'll go our separate ways. In this life, there's no need to restrict yourself too much."

Lola nodded slowly: "That's what I think too, but I wouldn't do what you did, living with seven or eight men together..."

Li Qi laughed heartily: "I didn't want this either, it just happened to happen! If I didn't intervene, they would almost certainly fall into another abyss. Since we have this bond, I have no choice but to see it through to the end."

On this point, Li Qi spoke from the heart.

Putting aside the fact that all six beauties are now having affairs with him, he's just saying they're so pitiful that he should help them if he can, since helping others is the source of happiness!

Besides, the six little ones are really beautiful...

Trust the screening of countless dark web fans; if it weren't good, that old bastard Nick would have already optimized it.

Unfortunately, my computer skills aren't up to par; otherwise, if I had gotten Nick's dark web account, I could have gathered even more clues.

……

……

Julie walked into the office, patted her partner on the shoulder, and sat down across the table.

"Any progress?"

Hugo Barnes is not young, but he is very stylish.

The old bachelor took off his headphones, spat out his chewing gum, shrugged, and shook his head, saying, "There's nothing there. There are traces of human intervention in the surveillance footage, but it's hard to detect. I asked the tech team, and they said that this kind of hacking technique is very advanced and not something an ordinary person can do."

Julie nodded, recalling the handsome face she had just seen, and asked curiously, "Didn't you see anyone suspicious? How much surveillance footage did the hacker alter?"

Hugo hesitated for a moment: "It's hard to say, you'll see for yourself! You can see it on the shared drive."

Julie opened the file and carefully watched the footage in the video.

This is traffic surveillance footage from the street where Lola's apartment is located. It's smooth and clear, and after watching it for a long time, there's not a trace of human intervention.

She looked up in confusion, asking incredulously, "You can see signs of human intervention? Why can't I tell?"

Hugo knew what she was struggling with. After working together for many years, this strong-willed female partner was most afraid of someone being stronger than her.

Having seen through this, Hugo deliberately concealed his true abilities, which is why he was able to work so well with Julie for so long.

Seeing that Julie was about to get upset again, Hugo quickly explained, "I didn't notice it either! I only found out from the tech team! Look at 1:47 AM, can you see the difference? The tech team used a bunch of technical terms, like 'video stream' and 'bitrate,' and I compared it with the time of the incident. Of the fifty-three modified time points, this one is the most suspicious..."

Julie switched to the time as he instructed, and sure enough, she discovered something extremely difficult to spot.

There was a puddle on the ground by the roadside, and the reflection in it clearly showed changes in light, but the street was deserted.

Did someone Photoshop that guy out?

Having learned the truth about last night, Julie easily believed that it was William Thomson who did it.

Not only are their marksmanship superb, but they also have such impressive hacking skills?

Still so handsome?

Julie was getting restless; she felt a surge of heat within her.

Julie took out her phone, searched for a while, and then made a call.

"Dear Angela, could you ask your boyfriend, who works in the Internal Affairs Department, to help me check the records of police officers who have left the force within the last five years? Yes, I need information on those who resigned or were dismissed. Okay, I'll be waiting for your good news!"

After hanging up the phone, Julie pondered for a moment, then opened the police information system, entered the name, and began to search.

There are 376 William Thomsons in the system, but only three of them live in Los Angeles.

Each person is not the same guy we just met.

This is an internal information system; only people with criminal records are registered. It's normal if no one is registered.

A more comprehensive search would require information access from the Social Security Administration, which Julie neither possesses nor intends to waste resources on a large-scale investigation.

In contrast, the main focus of the investigation is currently on who wants to kill Lola.

First Nick Grant was killed, then Laura Thorne. With two high-ranking ICE agents being targeted in such a way, even with the Minnesota incident, the department is still under a lot of pressure.

"Any leads on those five unlucky guys?"

Hugo shook his head again: "There aren't many clues. The bullets all hit the face, and there's no corresponding DNA or dental record in the system. We're currently coordinating to see if these people have served in the military..."

Julie nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Those rifles are all high-quality equipment; they certainly wouldn't have used them only once. They must have succeeded before, since they stumbled this time. Let's compare the weapon trajectories and see if there are any clues."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Hugo agreed and went out.

Julie watched the video on the screen, very curious about how this man had managed to do it.

Such advanced hacking skills are definitely not something an ordinary person can possess, not to mention that kind of marksmanship...

I picked up my phone and glanced at it. Hadn't that guy picked up on my hints? So much time had passed and he still hadn't taken the initiative to contact me?

Suddenly her phone vibrated. Julie picked it up, glanced at it, and a bright smile spread across her face.

"Having Lola isn't enough? Did she really take the bait so easily?"
