Chapter 516: Marvel: Starting by Awakening the Small Universe Chapter 275

~7 min read 1,241 words

There are countless preset codes in the police radio calls.

Each code represents an incident.

For example, 221 corresponds to a robbery incident.

999!

This is the most serious of the codes; calling out this code means one thing: an officer has been shot.

All nearby police forces responded instantly, and the ambulance from New Amsterdam Hospital also rushed here at the first opportunity.

After lifting the three onto the ambulance, one of the doctors recognized George, and only then did the 21st Precinct receive the news that their boss had been shot and his life was uncertain.

This isn't it.

An officer ran to Helen's side, and she was picked up and rushed to the hospital.

And Hei Er, who had a good relationship with Helen and was also a detective, rushed over at the first opportunity to accompany Helen.

However...

"Ma Huoni has already rushed over there."

"The Deputy Captain is already negotiating with the Captain of the 12th Precinct to see if they can secure jurisdiction over this case."

But it's estimated to be very unlikely.

Because the incident occurred in the 12th Precinct's jurisdiction, and compared to George, who was still in emergency surgery, the two patrol officers from the 12th Precinct had already been declared dead.

The 21st Precinct would be angry because their Captain was shot, and the 12th Precinct would also be angry because their colleagues were shot to death.

So, as Hei Er was saying this, her expression was also somewhat worried.

Hawk frowned.

"Detective Ma Huoni?"

"Yes."

Hei Er nodded.

Hawk took the phone from Gwen, walked to the side, found Detective Ma Huoni's phone number, and dialed it.

Hei Er was one of the best detectives in the 21st Precinct.

This Detective Ma Huoni was too.

Because Hawk had seen both Detective Ma Huoni and Detective Hei Er at Stacy's apartment, and these two were the only two detectives Hawk had ever seen.

It could be said that these two were George's right-hand men.

The 21st Precinct's case-solving rate basically came from the hands of these two detectives.

At this moment, at the multi-story parking lot, the crime scene, Detective Ma Huoni took out his phone, glanced at the caller, frowned, thought for a moment, walked to the side, and answered the phone.

"I am Ma Huoni..."

"Detective Ma Huoni, it's me, Hawk."

"Hawk..."

Detective Ma Huoni heard Hawk's voice and subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

He thought it was Gwen or Helen calling; if that were the case, he really wouldn't know what to say.

Because he had also just arrived here.

"Hawk, you and Gwen have also arrived at the hospital; how is Helen, how is George, what did the doctor say."

"Gwen and Helen are both very worried; George is still in the operating room for emergency surgery."

Hawk didn't hide the hospital situation from Ma Huoni and asked: "What happened?"

Ma Huoni rubbed his temples.

"I was afraid you would ask that."

"What's wrong?"

"I just arrived at the scene and am still trying to figure out why the Captain appeared in the 12th Precinct's jurisdiction this morning."

"... You don't know either?"

"Yes, I just asked the Captain's assistant and got the Captain's schedule for today. Originally, the Captain had a budget meeting to attend today, but the assistant said that last night the Captain called to cancel the meeting this morning and didn't say what it was about, just that he had cleared his schedule for this morning."

"..."

Hearing this, Hawk couldn't help but frown, and then, as if thinking of something, said: "Could it have something to do with the case you are investigating? I remember when I came back for Christmas, George mentioned it, saying he was still investigating."

That was the time before he and Gwen went to Waterfall Town, George was investigating.

By the time he and Gwen returned from Waterfall Town, it turned out George was still investigating the case.

George wasn't a detective, but a Captain, the Captain of the 21st Precinct.

As the Captain of the 21st Precinct, George had the highest decision-making power and daily management power of the precinct.

Actually, as a precinct Captain, there is no need to be on the front lines.

But George was a detective by background, so even though he was now a Captain, he would still follow major cases closely.

In George's words, his career was over anyway.

A precinct commander was the peak and the end of his career.

Ma Huoni heard Hawk mention this case and was slightly stunned.

"Wh... oh, you mean that case, that case has already been closed."

"Closed?"

Hawk was slightly stunned: "When was it closed."

Ma Huoni on the other end of the phone heard this, and his tone paused: "I can't say much about the specifics; you know the rules, Hawk, but the Captain announced the case closed last month."

Hawk heard Ma Huoni's tone and detected a hint of something wrong.

"The kind that is closed on the surface?"

"... Yes."

Ma Huoni hesitated for a moment, considering that Hawk was his Captain's prospective son-in-law, and said in a low voice: "I followed a lead with the Captain for three whole months, and suddenly a suspect appeared to claim it, and all the physical and witness evidence pointed to this person. And you know about this case; the pressure was very high, so the Captain chose to close the case."

Speaking of this.

Ma Huoni paused, and then footsteps came through the phone. After a while, he found a more hidden place, and his voice came out again: "The Captain meant that there must be a big fish behind this case, so he asked me to investigate privately."

Hawk frowned.

"But you don't know anything?"

"Yes, but I did hear George mention something a few days ago, saying he seemed to have an informant."

"Informant? Who?"

"Don't know."

Ma Huoni shook his head: "We originally planned to meet and exchange leads every day during lunch, but then..."

Hawk took over: "And then George was seriously injured and sent to the emergency room."

Ma Huoni said "hmm," his voice as low as possible: "I suspect the Captain might have been set up."

Hawk's thoughts raced.

"That informant?"

"Right."

"At noon yesterday, the Captain said that the informant who knew the inside story had made contact, and he was trying to find a way to get the informant's information."

"I initially suggested I go."

"But the Captain said that the informant only trusted him."

"And then..."

"So, I suspect that informant; when I came over, I also went to the Captain's office to look, but I didn't find any clues about that informant."

"The study!"

Hawk raised an eyebrow: "You said George called his assistant last night to cancel today's schedule, so it's only possible he got some news while he was at home."

Ma Huoni's eyes lit up.

Hawk then said: "I'll go back to the study and see if I can find anything."

Hearing this, Ma Huoni thought for a moment and replied: "Then I'll leave it to you; I'm waiting for the 12th Precinct detectives to see if I can snatch this case; if not, a joint investigation is also fine."

"Okay, see you later."

"See you later."

Hawk said this to Ma Huoni on the other end of the phone, then hung up and walked back toward Gwen.
