Mr. Inspector

After being on standby for half a month, coupled with his heroic performance in the bombing case, Inspector Lestrade was finally reinstated.The new and old members of the serious crime team cheered and held a celebration party for him, and took the opportunity to relax.

The red-faced Harry was surrounded by several young female detectives. He didn't know whether it was shyness or joy from the bottom of his heart.Simon and Donovan are just a few steps away from flirting in the shadows.Edman was entangled by Lestrade's assistant Ellie, and the two attacked each other one after another.

Under the bright white light, Ai Li's complexion looked even paler, so our agent Edman refused to let go of this opportunity to attack: "Female ghost."

Holding a bottle of newly opened champagne in his hand, he leaned halfway in front of the dessert table, his words were not gentlemanly - he didn't even know how to spell the damned word gentleman.

Allie was wearing a new beige dress, and her hands shook because of his words, and some of the wine poured into the glass spilled onto her dress.She put down her wine glass fiercely, glared at Edman, and gritted her teeth word by word—"Sissy!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Edman spread his hands indifferently.

"--You're welcome."

Ever since Edelman was yelled at for comforting Ellie last time, the relationship between the two has become what it is today, and no one is willing to give in.

However, as the youngest and cutest girl in the entire serious crime team, she still has to take the lead in some aspects, such as——

"Fuck, why are you kicking me?!" Edman grinned and hugged his painful calf.

"Humph."

……

Inspector Lestrade sat silently in an inconspicuous corner drinking wine. He watched the harmonious atmosphere on the field rather leisurely, pampering his subordinates to enjoy the rare happy time.

The day before yesterday, he received news that the former Customs Minister Chad had been arrested, and the relevant suspects had also been identified as spies, and each of them was under strict guard and awaiting prosecution.No matter what the result is, the government's anger must be enough for a while.

It was bad luck for him to get involved before, but as for the diplomatic matters later on, he can't think about it.Rather than worrying about national affairs like McCaughey, he would rather be a little detective in charge of London with peace of mind.

……

When he was half drunk, Lestrade received a phone call. After talking to the other party for a few words, he regained consciousness completely.

—— According to the phone call, an active police officer of Scotland Yard was found dead in his home, and a gun hole could be seen in the left temple. The current preliminary judgment is that he was murdered.

After hanging up the phone, Lestrade struggled to get up from his chair and called everyone to stop.

Edman, who was still arguing with Ellie, saw the inspector's serious expression, and immediately reacted. He hurriedly approached the inspector and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Fitch was killed, what happened tonight." Lestrade looked at everyone and announced the unfortunate news in a deep voice.

The expressions on everyone's faces froze all of a sudden.

The wine glass in Alice's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the red wine quickly spread on the ground.

Fitch is her ex-boyfriend, and the two broke up half a year ago.

Seeing the doubts on Harry's face, Donovan explained to him: "He belongs to the Central Operations Department, but like you, he was also dispatched there. It's just that he is from our serious crime unit..."

Her voice was very soft and trembling, and her shock and grief could not be concealed in her tone.

As a police officer, you will inevitably encounter various dangers, the most devastating of which is death in the line of duty.Fitch, why did he encounter this catastrophe...

Edman reached out and hugged Ai Li, who was already unable to stand firmly, his eyebrows on both sides were tightly furrowed, his expression was ferocious, and he couldn't suppress the anger that erupted in his heart.

"Clean up and go back to Scotland Yard first."

After saying this in a low voice, Lestrade left here first.

A lot of Scotland Yard police officers had already gathered in Fitch's apartment, and many media rushed here after hearing the news.

The scene was well protected. After greeting Daniel, the person in charge of the operations department, Lestrade led Donovan into the apartment, while the rest of the team was blocked from the door.

Now there is no order from above, and it is not known who will be in charge of this case.

Lestrade had opened the back door if he could bring someone in.

Go straight to the bedroom and you can see the man lying in a pool of blood at a glance, lying on the right side, with his head facing the window from north to south.A bullet hole can be clearly seen on the glass window, and opposite is an old residential building about [-] yards away.

"This is on the fifth floor. From the perspective of the gun hole, it is only possible to hit Fitch if you shoot from the opposite building." Daniel explained alongside the inspector.

"But the distance between the two buildings is very far, it's hard to imagine the accuracy of the shooter..." Donovan tried to analyze mentally, avoiding her former companion who fell on the ground as much as possible.

Lestrade pulled the dark blue curtain next to the handle and found that it was opaque. He then asked, "Did you investigate the situation on the other side?"

"Yes." Daniel said, "Someone has been sent to investigate the apartment directly opposite. After knocking on the door for a long time, they found that the owner is not at home. Several nearby apartments are under investigation, and the results have not yet come out."

"What about the time of death?" Lestrade continued to ask.

"The preliminary judgment of the forensic doctor is after nine o'clock in the evening."

Lestrade glanced at the phone, and the screen showed that it was eleven o'clock, which was very close to the time of Fitch's death. He asked again, "Who found the body?"

"His colleague—that is, Catherine from our operations department, came to his apartment due to business issues and found that the door was unlocked."

Daniel's cell phone vibrated, he picked it up and checked it, and then said to the inspector apologetically, "The person in charge of the serious crime team has been confirmed, and it is Inspector Dimo."

Donovan frowned, "The new one from our team?"

Daniel said to the silent inspector, "I'll take you out."

"Thank you."

After thanking him in a low voice, Lestrade followed him out of the apartment.

Ali who was standing outside the door had tears in her eyes.

The inspector walked over and put his arms around her gently, "I'm sorry."

Donovan also whispered: "My condolences."

Edman on the side lowered his head, speechless for a long time.
