Although Pepper was a little arrogant in front of Kai, she was very polite and decent in front of the senior police officers who came to apologize to her. She not only took the initiative to confess her mistakes, but also apologized to the senior police officers. She also said that if there was any trouble, she would be responsible.

Faced with such a good-talking secretary, the Chicago Police Department was naturally relieved. No matter whether others were just talking nonsense, at least they were okay in terms of face, which meant that there was something to talk about. If Pepper didn't give any good face directly, there would be nothing to talk about.

Of course, Pepper's decent performance did not mean that she was not angry. On the contrary, the girl was almost furious!

But Pepper's excellent professional qualities always reminded her that she did not only represent herself. She was Tony Stark's secretary! Although Tony might not care much about his secretary's temper, Pepper could not do so. She was just a secretary. Although Tony trusted her, it was precisely because of this that Pepper could not use Tony's influence at will.

When she saw Adam again, Pepper was always more happy. The relationship ended, and it was not about who was right or wrong, but because of their immaturity. People always have a special feeling for their first love. Even if many people have actually forgotten the appearance of their first love, every time they recall that relationship, they will consciously or unconsciously add filters and beautiful backgrounds to that time, in short, everything is good.

But in fact, most people's first love is a skinny girl and a stupid boy, secretly doing some actions that they think are mature. There must be a camera to record those things. It doesn't take long, only five years, enough to make both parties ashamed, which is tantamount to public execution!

Of course, it is estimated that there is no idiot in the world who really does this.

In short, when encountering the beauty of the past, Pepper's heart unconsciously ignited a small flame. Strictly speaking, it is just a kind of self-deception, just like people of every age group will think that the time when they were young was the best.

This is a common phenomenon, and Pepper is naturally no exception.

It's not that Pepper really intends to have something happen with 'Adam', but she still has a little hope.

But this little hope was ruthlessly shattered by Kai.

Even now, Pepper can't understand why Adam treats her like this. Is it because her father shot him?

While thinking about these things, Pepper dealt with the condolences and concerns that came one after another.

...

On the other hand, the Chicago Police Department also learned about the incident, and the matter was not complicated. It was just the secretary of the young master who suddenly wanted to see the crime scene, and then was arrested by a policeman who was not very good at it.

The matter is very simple, not complicated at all.

But the key lies in the identities of the two people.

Needless to say, Pepper has to smile when the mayor of Chicago comes. And the other one, how to say? If that guy is a Chicago policeman, he will probably be transferred to the archives tomorrow and stay in that moldy office for the rest of his life.

But the problem is that the identity of that person is not simple.

It's not that the identity is so valuable, the key is that others are not under their jurisdiction in Chicago! The other person is the sheriff of Gardner Township, Minnesota!

And the other person is not completely without a background. The upper echelons of the police department know how powerful this gentleman is, and the entire Chicago police owe him a favor!

The Chicago police will not care too much about any of these two points. Compared with Stark, this big Buddha, all the monsters and demons are nonsense. But...everything is afraid of buts. After adding the two together, the Chicago police really have no good solution.

In any case, others still offended Miss Pepper for their Chicago police case. If they are really so unrefined, the reputation of the Chicago police will be completely ruined.

So the Chicago police diverted the conflict very cunningly and scolded William and Mills. Anyway, it was not their fault, but it was their fault.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. Pepper obviously knew the two police officers in charge of the case, and actually pleaded for them in return.

Knowing this, if the Chicago police still don’t understand what to do, then they can all retire and go home early.

So, the storm passed quietly.

…

Just as William and Kay continued to track down the owner of those fingerprints, Mills returned to the hotel with a guilty Tracy and a still angry Pepper.

Mills felt that he was the most unlucky. Although he was not punished, he was temporarily transferred from the investigation of the "Seven Deadly Sins" case. The Chicago police thought that since Kay was so concerned about this case, it would be better to let him continue to investigate, and with William, the legend of the Chicago police, by his side, it was enough. As for Mills...

Is there anything more important than protecting Miss Pepper now?

Mills has always wanted to prove himself, and the "Seven Deadly Sins" serial murder case is obviously still an opportunity.

But seeing his wife's guilty eyes, Mills forced himself to suppress his disappointment and acted indifferent.

"What's so great about him! Why did he treat me like that? I even had to be handcuffed! Oh, and those two bitches! There is obviously something wrong with the way they look at Adam! Did you recruit vixens when the Chicago police recruited female police officers? Their eyes are almost glued to Adam!"

Such words rarely appear in Miss Pepper, the assistant to the president of Stark Group. But as Tracy's best friend Pepper, such complaints are not uncommon. After coming out of the police station, Pepper turned into a grudge and complained about Kai and everyone around him.

Tracy could only smile. She knew her best friend's temperament. She rarely complained about anything, but once she grumbled like this, it meant that she was really angry. And this also indirectly showed that Pepper did have extraordinary feelings for Adam, otherwise Pepper would not be like this.

Mills and Pepper didn't get along much. Most of the time, Pepper was a qualified white-collar elite. So facing such a Pepper, Mills was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, Pepper. No matter what, this matter is our fault. We shouldn't be there. Officer Kai did nothing wrong." Tracy could only comfort Pepper like this.

"What do you mean it's our fault? I didn't know that people were not allowed to enter there!"

This is a bit unreasonable, but this is in front of her best friend. Pepper doesn't think she needs to pretend. If she is unhappy, just say it. Is it true that being tense all the time is all there is to life? This is not work, she doesn't need to pay too much attention to her behavior.

…

After returning to the hotel, the three of them couldn't sleep. After all, tonight was too exciting, so they took a bottle of red wine and chatted while drinking.

"By the way, why do you all call him Kai?" Pepper has always been curious about this matter. At first, she thought it was the nickname they gave Adam. After all, the name Kai is quite famous in the West, and the legend of the Knight King is widely circulated.

"That's his name. I wonder why you always call him Adam?" Mills thought that sometimes it was nice to sit quietly on the sofa with Tracy, drinking and chatting.

"Did he change his name?" Pepper tilted her head and leaned on the back of the sofa, muttering to herself. Then Pepper thought of another thing. "By the way, does Adam have a high status in your Chicago Police Department? Why did your chief look weird when I talked about him to him?"

Pepper had thought about using her influence to let the police punish Kai. But Pepper still held back. First, she didn't want to do this to her first love, and second, she also needed to consider the impact. So she just mentioned it briefly, hoping that the police station would make things difficult for Adam, as a revenge. But the police chief's expression was very strange at the time, and she was sure that she was not wrong. Then the police chief changed the subject and didn't respond at all.

Mills was a little embarrassed now.

After seeing Kai with two beautiful policewomen at the scene that day, Mills privately learned about Kai's information.

It doesn't matter if you don't know. The exaggerated resumes of others made Mills doubt that he and Kai were not in the same profession. Look at others, who just joined the local police chief in March this year, and then they couldn't stop.

The first case he encountered was a big case!

A big case of nearly a ton of laundry! The subsequent data was even more explosive. In addition to those situations that could not be recorded, the other data that could be seen was far beyond Mills' imagination. For example, he rushed into the gang's lair with several teammates, starting from the first floor to the top floor, and they killed more than 60 people in total! Thousands of bullets were fired!

More than 100 people were arrested, 6 million US dollars in cash, more than 300 guns, and hundreds of kilograms of drugs were seized, and 9 gangsters who tried to rob drugs were killed on the spot!

Next, the 21st Bureau in Chicago was attacked by gangsters, and he led the police to fight back again, and finally killed ** gangsters. This number was smeared, but it was in the double digits!

After that, he returned to Jiade Town and cracked another drug transportation case. A record-breaking 227 kilograms of banned drugs were seized on the spot!

Then there was a car chase. Kai and his companions killed a killer on the spot and caught another killer. Although the killer was silenced in the end.

These data may not seem much, but in the eyes of Mills, who is also a policeman, it is different.

Let's put it this way. Mills has been a policeman since he retired from the army. It has been five years now. But in these five years, to be honest, Mills has rarely fired a gun, let alone killed anyone. This is normal. Many policemen have never shot or killed anyone in their lives.

Like Kai, who has been a policeman for less than a year and killed more than fifty people, in Mills's view, it is just like a fairy tale!

Thinking of this, Mills understood why he felt afraid of Kai before! There is no way, he is really awesome!

"Well... how to say it? He is not from our Chicago Police Department. He is the Sheriff of Gardner Town (SHERIFF)."

"WT? Where?"

"Gardner Town!"

Pepper naturally knew this town. "Then why can he..."

Mills understood what Pepper meant. Isn't he just asking why a small town sheriff can command the Chicago police?

Although the police department has confidentiality discipline, many things cannot be disclosed to outsiders at will. It can be seen that due to Pepper's identity, the confidentiality of the police station is not really confidential to her, so Mills slightly revealed some of Kai's great achievements.

But even these things that were severely deleted shocked Pepper speechless.

She didn't expect that the shy and devout academic master would one day become a tough detective!

…

"We found the owner of the fingerprint!" The technical police officers found the owner of the fingerprint from the fingerprint database of the police station at the fastest speed.

The suspect called himself Victor, but his real name was Theodore Allen. He had suffered from severe mental illness for a long time. His parents used strict Christian transactions to trade him since he was a child, but later he left them. Victor has a lot of criminal records: theft, drug trafficking, assaulting women, unusual possession of guns, armed robbery, and even assaulting police officers. He was imprisoned many times. Three years ago, he was sent to prison for assaulting minors and was not released until a year ago.

Interestingly, in his information, Kai also saw two unexpected names. The first name was "Gould". The defense lawyer who was killed.

It was because of him that Victor was released after being imprisoned for less than two years.

And the second name was also an acquaintance-the policeman who put Victor in prison-Mills!

Victor committed the crime in Springfield!

And it was Mills who was still a policeman in Springfield who caught this bastard. When Mills caught Victor, he couldn't control his anger and beat up the bastard. At that time, the Springfield Police Department removed Mills from the case to avoid trouble. But in the final court, because Mills' colleague talked about this incident in court, the defense lawyer seized the loophole and reversed the situation in one fell swoop, making many of the police's evidence no longer credible.

So the case that was originally ironclad ended up like this, and Victor was only sentenced to two years in prison. Even if a psychiatrist had not confirmed that Victor had the ability to bear legal responsibility at the time, this guy might have been acquitted under Gould's defense.

It is said that at that time, Mills beat that colleague because of this...

"This is not the murderer we are looking for. He can only be the next victim!"

The Chicago police speculated that this person was the murderer, but was firmly denied by Kai.

"I've read this guy's profile. He's just a sick idiot! The murderer we're looking for is a highly educated, serious person with strong anti-detection capabilities. And judging from the way he committed the crime, he didn't just kill the victim. He was more like giving a 'teaching'! Remember the messages he left behind? He was sentencing those people! He wanted to alert the world! He was preaching! This shows that he is a devout believer, and he may even firmly believe that he was chosen by God! But this Victor in front of us... that's a rotten guy! A rotten guy who is good for nothing, a rotten guy who can't even exercise basic self-control!"
