Jefferson clearly knew this, but he was angry that his most-trusted subordinate had been suspended without him knowing it.
Not only was it shameful, it would also be considered a dereliction of his duty as a superior.
Seeing that Jefferson had calmed down a little, Harold uttered sincerely, "Now that Quill has been suspended, your responsibility will be even greater now. What do you plan to do next?"
"Quill and his team fell into the trap, so I can't just leave them alone. I will prove them innocent no matter what. That's what I'll do," Jefferson answered.
Harold nodded and reminded, "I understand that you want to help them out, but you mustn't be reckless. You have to find evidence to prove Quill and his team's innocence. Otherwise, the consequences will only be worse. In this age, news spreads quickly and the public doesn't have the ability to distinguish the truth from falsehood. They will follow what the majority says. We are already at a disadvantage at the moment. You must be extra cautious from now on. Don't let anyone have anything on you."
"Do you think I'm as stupid as Quill?" After saying this, Jefferson waved his hand, turned around, and left. He walked to the door and added, "Harold, no matter what happens, make sure that you don't be a drag on me."
Harold was at a loss for words.
What was this lawless brat saying? He also wanted to solve the dismemberment case at that instant if he could.
As Jefferson walked out of the headquarters, he put his hand into his pocket and found a piece of A4 paper he had received not long ago.
The paper had been crumpled into a ball. He straightened the paper slowly and looked at its content. "Mr. Hefner, I'll be giving you public pressure as a gift this time. As for the next gift, I don't know what it will be yet. Perhaps it will have something to do with your beloved one."
Yes, Quill had fallen into the trap that the enemy had dug for him. However, Jefferson was the main target. Quill was just a scapegoat.
Jefferson was never afraid. However, the enemy knew clearly what his weakness was. The last sentence was straight to the point. His only weakness was Adrienne!
He did not have any more time to waste. He had to find out the people hiding in the dark as soon as possible, and he had to ensure the person he cared for the most would not get hurt.
When he returned to Paramount Criminal Police Team, Quill and the suspended officers had taken off their uniforms, but they did not go home. All of them were waiting for Jefferson in his office. When Jefferson arrived, he heard this from another officer.
His original plan was to go to Adrienne's office to check on her. However, the plan had changed. He went straight back to his office. Seeing him, Quill and the others looked at him with remorse in their eyes and apologized, "Captain Hefner, we have failed you. Not only did we fail to catch the murderer, we even jumped straight into his trap."
