Chewing the Iberian ham slices in his mouth, Carl felt the right amount of salt and meat spreading in his mouth.

After turning off the news broadcast on TV, he took a bottle of purified water from the small refrigerator in the room, checked it a little and drank it.

"Gulp."

Accompanied by the sound of swallowing in his throat, Carl let out a long breath: "I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten tonight. Fortunately, there is something to eat here."

"Don't eat at the crime scene!"

Listening to Carl's voice that didn't care about himself, Mr. Johnson, who was standing in front of the bed where the NCPD chief's body was lying and thinking about how to deal with this matter properly, turned his head. He looked at Carl who was eating and drinking with kitchen things and walking around in this house, and said:

"Why are you staying to watch me deal with things today? Are you going to help?"

"It's good to just leave just for a name. . "

While speaking, Carl took a piece of soda cracker and chewed it and swallowed it. After eating it completely, he said: "Who asked you, Mr. Johnson, to arrange the identity of assistants for us as soon as you came? The matter has just begun to be investigated, and the assistants ran away. It's not good. "

"You look like you don't intend to be an assistant properly...

Mr. Johnson complained speechlessly, turned around and saw two people who came out of the bathroom after washing cleanly: "Well, it should be you, pay attention to me, there may be other people coming later, don't be so casual, as if you are at home."

Hearing Mr. Johnson's words, Jack and Oliver in bathrobes were a little embarrassed, but Oliver was thicker-skinned. After a brief embarrassment, he smiled and asked:

"Um, Mr. Johnson... The clothes I brought are still being washed in the washing machine. Do you have extra police clothes? Can I be a temporary worker in NCPD to help you work? "

"Don't talk so nicely, Oliver, you kid...::

Jensen recalled the embarrassing situation when he almost failed to identify the people from the two black balls when he first came, and was so nervous that he almost drew his gun. He sighed helplessly:

"You are about the same height as Andy. Andy should have a spare police uniform. Ask him to borrow one. As for Jack, none of the teams I lead can match his figure. You can figure it out by yourselves."

"I have brought the clothes."

Speaking of Andy, Andy came. He walked into the room from somewhere else and threw two sets of clothes to Oliver and Jack.

"Do I have one too? Isn't it because my figure doesn't match?"

Looking at the NCPD police uniform in his hand, Jack was a little surprised.

"I'll find someone similar in the team, but there's no one who fits the bill exactly. It might be a little tight, so you can just make do with it."

Andy smiled at Jack and walked towards Carl: "How is the food here? Carl, if you're not used to it, why don't I treat you to a nice restaurant after we're done, and treat it as dinner together."

"It's actually OK, after all, the NCPD chief knows how to enjoy life, but the portions aren't much, so they can only be eaten as snacks... Let's go have dinner together later."

Carl was naturally happy to accept his friend's invitation, but the dinner they were having was ruthlessly interrupted by Mr. Johnson. Cut off:

"Don't even think about going to eat. This is a very tricky matter. Andy, you come back with me to deal with it. The other people in the team have already discussed this situation and are going to give you the credit for arresting the 'murderer' who assassinated the NCPD chief. When the time comes, I'll move my position and you'll move with me."

"Me?"

"You, get ready to be the sheriff. This time, the higher-ups have already notified me that the deputy chief is going to be promoted to chief. He wants me to take his place. I'm going to set up a special response team and you'll lead it. You pick the most capable people to join. I'll give you the best equipment and you'll be in charge of any emergency."

"I'm just a newcomer. This speed is not in line with the rules..."

"The chief of a bureau is directly parachuted in. What rules are there?"

Mr. Johnson said this with a subtle tone: "And this is what our incoming chief wants to see. He is fed up with the terrorist mobile team that follows orders but not announcements. He is eager to have his own people."

"The deputy chief is the one who accepted the bribe and made you, Mr. Johnson, the sheriff. It seems that he regards you, Mr. Johnson, as his own."

"Maybe."

Listening to Carl's words, Johnson did not comment.

He slowly walked to the edge of the room where the former NCPD chief lived, opened the curtains, and looked at Night City under the night through the bulletproof glass.

The brilliance and height were all imprinted in his eyes.

"No matter what kind of change, it is always better than the current NCPD."

The NCPD is an organization with insufficient funds, insufficient equipment, and indifferent personnel. The work of the police officers is thankless. Even if the lower-level police officers successfully solve the case, they will not receive any rewards. Instead, they may be punished for touching on the transactions between the company and the gang.

However, although they are still restricted by the company, they can at least breathe a sigh of relief.

"Deputy Chief..."

Mr. Johnson sighed.
