Mr. Inspector

Sometimes it must be admitted that Scotland Yard has an astonishing efficiency in handling affairs. Once the action is taken, it will be a fast-paced investigation and evidence collection in all aspects, and no one will be lazy at all.The glory represented by the police badge is indeed more important to a certain extent than basic necessities of life for them.

No matter how the outside world expresses their views, they all have an untouchable bottom line in their hearts.

Inspector Lestrade looked at the enthusiastic work in the office with satisfaction, and felt more motivated.Since this smuggling case was hyped up by the media, it aroused the mentality of these young boys not to admit defeat.

And most importantly, the case has made gratifying progress.Harry, who just joined their team, has made a great achievement-he successfully cracked the hidden mailbox of the suspect bank clerk Alex Thomas, and obtained a valuable video material.

"An encrypted video that is not too complicated can be completely cracked in just 10 minutes."

In front of the computer, Harry's eyes hidden behind the black-rimmed glasses had bright lights. He seemed to have changed his body when he was doing these tasks, and his whole body was ready to go.

"Hey, not bad, boy—" Simon, who was standing in the back row, patted Harry on the shoulder encouragingly, and he stared at the computer screen expectantly, with an ugly smile on his lips.

Edman stood beside him, eagerly gearing up for it.For this damn smuggling case, God knows how many nights he stayed up until one or two o'clock-this is like a hysterical lunatic in the eyes of others.

But only he knows if he is crazy or not.

In addition, I often stay up late and it seems that my skin quality is not a little bit worse...Edelman thought a little sadly.

Lestrade stood at the back of the line. He was sitting on a desk with his arms folded, and he was also engrossed in the progress bar on the video.

His mobile phone was left in the second drawer of his desk, and if he took the time to take it out and look at it, he would find a message from McCaughey - stop the investigation immediately.

But at this moment, Mr. Inspector, all his attention was on the video that was about to be cracked, and he didn't have the mind to take care of his poor phone that he didn't know where to throw it.

"finished!"

Harry's excited tone immediately swept everyone's attention, and Simon couldn't help calling out in a low voice, "Comeonbabe..."

Edman immediately walked half a step away from him in disgust.

Donovan came in at the right time, and she got a pair of large-frame retro glasses from somewhere.

"Hey, I didn't know you were short-sighted..." Edman's curiosity was aroused.

"Shutup." Donovan responded nonchalantly.

Edman pouted angrily.

The video in the center of the computer screen started to play, and everyone shut up at the same time.

The video was showing a secret transaction scene. There were only two people sitting next to each other in the front row, and one of them was the criminal suspect Thomas.

The expressions of the group of them couldn't help becoming solemn. The inspector moved closer, his brows were furrowed, as if he had discovered something.

"Is he...?" Harry asked, pointing to the man in a suit sitting next to Thomas. His qualifications were still young, and he didn't quite recognize the identity of this person.

Edman replied grimly, "If I remember correctly—"

At this moment, an unsmiling female voice from outside the door interrupted him, "Is Inspector Lestrade in?"

Mr. Inspector heard the sound and looked out the door, and found that the person who came was the Minister of the Interior of the British Empire—that is, the secretary of his immediate boss, Sophia.

"Mr. Minister needs you urgently. Please rush to his office immediately." Sophia wore a rigid silver-gray professional dress with a businesslike tone.

The inspector didn't respond, "Now?"

"Yes."

"Didn't he go to Hawaii for vacation?"

"Come back."

After hearing this answer, Mr. Inspector had no choice but to give up the meaningless questioning, and followed her directly out of the office of the serious crime team, with heavy steps as if he was mentally prepared to be criticized.

……

Seeing the backs of the two of them leaving, Edman's complexion darkened. He expected that something might not be good, "It turned out that Sophia, the old maid, came here in person—Fuck! What can the minister, the old man, do if he is in a hurry to find the boss?" What's important..."

He wasn't in the mood to continue watching the video, but was spinning around anxiously.

"Is it that serious?" Harry didn't quite understand where his anxiety was.

Donovan explained to him, "Sophia is the most experienced secretary under Minister Nick, and she is usually not asked to be responsible for such trivial matters as delivering news unless it is an emergency. Moreover, hearing her tone, the Minister even rushed from Hawaii to back, so our Inspector may be in some trouble..."

"Big trouble." Simon said with a final word.

……

On the other side, Mr. Inspector, who was characterized by his subordinates as being in serious trouble, was standing in front of his immediate boss in a regular manner at this time, without looking sideways.

"Sit down first." The big boss spoke.

Lestrade had no choice but to sit on the chair in front of his desk, and even slowed down his breathing deliberately, like a primary school student who made a mistake.

"I asked you to come to explain something in person." Minister Nick leaned on his office chair, looked directly at Lestrade and said calmly.

Mr. Inspector accidentally deserted - the minister's complexion is a little darker than before, so it seems that the sunshine in Hawaii is really good...

"Stop the investigation of the smuggling case immediately." Minister Nick directly issued an order.

"What?" Lestrade sat up straight immediately, he couldn't understand the decision made at this time.

"This is an order."

After struggling briefly in his heart, Lestrade found that he couldn't accept it no matter what, "...I refuse." He said with some difficulty.

The minister stared at him seriously, "Are you serious?"

After thinking for a while, Lestrade reiterated his point of view, "I refuse."

Mr. Minister stopped talking. He leaned back on the chair and beat the rhythm with his hands on the table.After a long time, he said slowly: "I see, you go back first."

As a result, Lestrade, who had just walked back to his office, received the news of "suspension for probation", and the investigation of the smuggling case was naturally forcibly stopped.

All of this happened between lightning and flint, which caught the entire crime team off guard.

"Why?!" Edman was the most excited, and he jumped up from his chair when he heard the news, "Just leave this fatal smuggling case to us before, forcing us to hurry up, even the pressure of public opinion It's inciting! Fuck, don't think I don't know who did this... Now that the case has finally progressed, and it's damned to stop, I'll just ask why!"

Sophia looked at him blankly, and threw the document in her hand on the table in front of him, "If you are dissatisfied, you can directly question Mr. Minister." After she finished speaking, she stepped on her high heels and slammed the door away.

Lestrade stopped Edman from another outburst just in time.

"Boss..."

"do not talk."

Lestrade didn't have the strength to say anything more, and he didn't want to take care of all the materials on his desk piled up like a hill... He directly picked up the office bag hanging aside and started to pack his few things.

The whole office looked at him silently. Harry pushed his glasses down in pain, not even noticing that the hot water cup at hand was knocked over.

It was at the last step of tidying up that Lestrade remembered the mobile phone that had been forgotten in the drawer. He grabbed the mobile phone and walked out of the office.

——"Goodbye, everyone."
