Chapter 105: Getting out of control! (Subscribe please!)
Seeing that Roy remained silent, Gordon continued to persuade him:

“Roy, listen to me, don’t be impulsive. I am also very sad and angry about the death of Jonathan’s wife, but this will not affect my rational thinking.”

“Don’t tell Jonathan about this, do you hear me?”

“You have to understand that we are only dealing with corpses. You must not get carried away, and you must not get angry. Do you know who Jonathan’s mentor was when he joined the police force? It was me. I brought Jonathan up by myself. I am not feeling any better than you are right now.”

No matter how Gordon persuaded him, Roy just wouldn’t say anything.

Gordon was in a panic…

Taking out a Marlboro from the cigarette box on the table, Gordon lit it and took two puffs, then put the lit cigarette into Roy’s mouth.

[Attacked by enterovirus: Hand, foot and mouth disease resistance +1]

Roy took the cigarette out of his mouth, put it into the ashtray and extinguished it, then took out a new one from the cigarette box and lit it.

Gordon: “???”

“Roy, did you listen to what I just said? You need to stay calm and don’t investigate the employer’s information, otherwise this matter will not end well.”

“The power behind the employer is very strong. It’s not something a small bureau chief like me can fight against. Roy, you have to understand your identity. When I first started, I told you that even if the bodies you handle are your biological parents, you have to stand firm.”

“If you keep holding on to this matter, your body and mine will be cleaned up by other scavengers in the future. Do you understand?”

“Oh God, please say something…”

Seeing that Roy remained silent, Gordon became really anxious.

“I’ll tell you a secret that no one knows. I personally killed my wife, Brittany Fury, but I didn’t kill her. My employer sent someone to kill her, and then asked me to deal with her…”

“Roy, we are just the most insignificant link in the huge chain of interests. Many rules were set hundreds of years ago. No one can change the rules. Those who try to change the rules will all go to see God.”

“Promise me that you will let this matter go. If you feel that you cannot face Jonathan, I can transfer him from Team B. The captain position of Team C happens to be vacant, and Jonathan has done a great job as the deputy captain. I will promote him to captain, and you will fill the vacant deputy captain position of Team B. It just so happens that you will be a police officer for a full year soon. I promised you that.”

“If you don’t consider your own life, you should also consider Irene. If you die, what will happen to Irene? Who will pay for her medical expenses?”

Hearing Gordon move out of Irene, Roy turned and looked at Gordon.

Seeing Roy’s reaction, Gordon breathed a sigh of relief:

“This time, I will personally give you $30,000, a total of $50,000, enough for Irene’s medical expenses for half a month.”

As he spoke, Gordon took out another paper bag full of US dollars from the drawer and pushed it onto the table in front of Roy.

Roy now didn’t want to say a single extra word to Gordon, and he would never take the money, otherwise he would not be able to face Jonathan in the future.

Roy looked at Gordon and said:
“I understand. That’s the end of the matter…”

[Lying: Lying ability +1]

Roy turned and walked outside.

When the door opened, Gordon’s voice came from behind:
“Remember, you must remember what I said.”

boom–

The door of Gordon’s office was closed by Roy.

After Roy left, Gordon sat back in his boss chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, his face fierce, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After leaving the Brooklyn Police Station, Roy went straight back home. He wanted to go to the hospital, but when he thought of Jonathan’s anxious eyes, he couldn’t face it.

After returning home, Roy opened a bottle of whiskey and blew directly into the bottle, and he drank the whole bottle of whiskey in one breath.

[Drinking: Alcohol resistance +1]

[Drinking: Alcohol is immune]

“Fuck!!!”

He doesn’t feel anything when drinking now.

At this moment, he wanted to get drunk, but no matter how much alcohol he drank, it was like drinking water. The angry Roy directly crushed the empty whiskey bottle. The broken glass shards pierced his palm, and only a little blood gushed out and quickly coagulated and formed a scab.

Roy gradually calmed down, took out his spare phone, inserted a new card, entered Ma Hong’s spare number on the phone keypad and dialed.

After three rings, the call was connected:
“it’s me……”

“I’m still checking the remaining two people.”

“That’s not what I’m asking.”

“That is?”

“Please help me check a license plate number. New York license plate ETY-793, 2000 BMW 740.”

“Hold on……”

The phone hangs up.

About five minutes later, Mahone called back:

“There is no vehicle named ETY-793 in the database.”

“That’s it for now.”

Roy didn’t have much hope for the license plate clue. No normal person would use a real license plate, let alone a murderer. Now that he has received Ma Hong’s confirmation, he can give up this useless clue with peace of mind.

In fact, Roy regretted one thing very much, that is, he did not open the body bag and take a look at it when he was moving the body. If he had looked at it at that time, he would definitely have written down the frame number and engine number of the BMW 740.

But, it’s too late to say anything now.

Light a cigarette.

Roy began to empty his mind and think quietly.

The more times like this happen, the more you must not be impatient or confused. The previous anxiety and impulsiveness were because things happened too suddenly.

Roy found it difficult to accept the reality of Susan’s death, and having to face Jonathan immediately caused him to lose control.

Even Roy, who is usually calm and composed, finds it difficult to control his emotions in this situation.

You know, ever since Roy’s parents passed away unexpectedly, Jonathan and his wife were the only ones who were truly kind to him in this world. Roy could still remember the past with Jonathan and his family, and their care and love were meticulous.

Susan’s murder couldn’t just be left like that.

Gordon is a jack of all trades…

I don’t give a fuck who you are.

I don’t give a damn about how terrifying the force behind you is.

If gods stand in the way, they will kill gods; if they stand in the way of Buddha, they will kill Buddha.

Roy’s brain was working rapidly…

[Overload the brain: Brain power +1]

Judging from Gordon’s reaction just now, it is unlikely that he knew in advance that the body was Susan.

Gordon knew his relationship with Jonathan. If he knew that the body to be dealt with was that of Jonathan’s wife, he could have sent other scavengers to deal with it. There was no need to send himself. Isn’t this obviously pushing himself into a state of violence?

Although he didn’t know what force Gordon belonged to yet, at least one thing was certain: Gordon couldn’t have just him as a scavenger.

Who hired Gordon?

Roy thought of Irina Monica.

Will it be like the time when Ivanka was killed, that Irina sent a killer to kill Susan, and then notified Gordon to send someone to collect the body?

It is entirely possible.

But he couldn’t ask Irina directly. Roy couldn’t take the initiative to break this window paper. That would be too dangerous. It would be equivalent to telling Irina that he already knew Irina’s true identity and her relationship with Gordon.

The most important reason is that Roy has not yet fully understood Irina. To Roy, Irina is too mysterious. If he doesn’t handle it well, it is very likely to backfire. At the same time, Roy also has to consider Irene’s safety.

Difficult…too difficult…

Roy is not a reckless man.

You must have a plan when doing things.

The plan must be careful and the consideration must be comprehensive, so that he can be independent and control his own life. After all, he is not an invulnerable Superman now. Bullets can still take his life, not to mention missiles.

All investigations must be conducted in secret…

After an unknown amount of time, Roy, leaning on the sofa, fell asleep unknowingly and did not wake up until night fell.

I picked up my phone and saw that there were a lot of missed calls.

All of them belong to Jonathan.

After much hesitation, Roy called back.

“Sorry, I’ve been so tired lately that I just fell asleep.”

“I know you’ve been very tired recently, but I still can’t get in touch with Susan. Roy, no one else can be trusted. You’re the only one who can help me.”

“I know. I will definitely help you.”

“Where are you now?”

“I am at home.”

“Wait for me at home.”

“no problem.”

When Roy learned that Jonathan was coming home, he immediately stood up and started cleaning up the broken glass on the floor.

Half an hour later, Roy went downstairs to pick up Jonathan. As soon as he entered the house, Jonathan lit a cigarette.

Too much mental pressure.

He can only rely on cigarettes to survive.

“sit down.”

Jonathan sat down on the sofa.

Roy poured Jonathan a glass of water.

Jonathan took a big sip and looked at Roy: “I think Susan’s disappearance may be related to her recent work.”

When Roy heard the word “work”, he suddenly realized what was going on. If Jonathan hadn’t been there, he would have slapped himself on the head.

It turns out that emotions affect normal judgment and thinking.

Roy knew about Susan’s work.

Susan is an accountant working for Pricewaterhouse, an accounting firm that provides accounting, auditing and consulting services worldwide. It is one of the world’s four largest accounting firms along with Deloitte, KPMG and EY.

Auditing in the United States is considered a high-risk profession.

Roy asked, “What is her current job?”

Jonathan replied, “Half a month ago, I overheard Susan talking on the phone with someone else. The content was that the IRS assigned their accounting firm to audit a company, and she was the person in charge of the audit.”

Roy narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:

“Did Susan mention which company it was?”

“Let me think about it…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll get you a glass of water.”

After saying that, Roy stood up, picked up the glass on the coffee table and walked to the refrigerator. As soon as he opened the refrigerator door, he heard Jonathan’s voice behind him: “Any wine?”

“Yes.” Roy took out an unopened bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet, returned to the sofa, opened the bottle and poured half a glass of neat whiskey for Jonathan.

Jonathan picked up the glass and drank it all…

Putting down the empty cup, Jonathan said:

“Pfizer Pharmaceuticals.”
