Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

New York Presbyterian Hospital, Lower Manhattan Branch…

“The patient’s condition is not serious. He will be fine after resting for a month.”

“Okay, thank you, doctor.”

Seeing the doctor turn around and leave, the leader of Investigation Team No. 1, Bronson, turned his gaze to the ward and saw Fisher lying on the bed wailing loudly. His legs were still propped up. Bronson’s face darkened and he cursed in a low voice, “A bunch of people can’t even beat one person. What trash!”

Roan Greenwood had Augustus’s protection, so Bronson felt that it would be inappropriate for him to make a move now. However, according to his men, Roan Greenwood was currently investigating the park murder case…

“As long as he doesn’t find the murderer within three days, things will be easy.”

He did not have any intention of meeting his unlucky nephew, Fisher, so he turned around and left.

…

Investigation Team No. 5, in the team leader’s office…

Roan sat on the chair and looked at the big-bellied black man behind the desk with an indifferent expression.

After leaving the interrogation room of the training department, he was brought here by Mona. Roan guessed that the other party was the officer who had transferred him out. It seemed that his performance in beating up Fisher and the others had caught his eye.

As for the fact that the other party did not say anything and only stared at him, Luo An did not feel anything. It was just a simple show of strength…He treated the other party as a radish…

The more Augustus looked at the calm, neither servile nor overbearing Roan, the more he liked him. He did not waste any time and said directly,

“I’m Augustus, the leader of Investigation Team No. 5. To be honest, Roan, I like you very much.”

Roan frowned. He felt that something was wrong with this sentence.

“But your current situation is very troublesome. Fighting is always wrong.”

Upon hearing this, Roan nodded his head.

Augustus took a sip of coffee and continued,”

“This is part of the information on the park shooting murder case. It’s 12 noon now. I’ll give you three days to catch the murderer. If you succeed, I’ll immediately transfer you to Investigation Team No. 5 and make you an official agent. If it fails…”

Augustus threw the folder on the table to Roan and smiled.

“I will also transfer you to Investigation Team No. 5, but for the next six months, you will be responsible for sorting out documents and writing case reports.”

“Okay.”

Roan nodded, then raised his head and asked, “If I successfully solve the case, how will the reward be divided?”

“You solved the case yourself, so the reward is naturally yours.”

“Thank you, Sir.”

Luo An did not waste any more time. He picked up the folder and left the office.

Seeing Roan’s tall and straight back, Augustus nodded his head in admiration and praised,

“Young, handsome, smart, decisive, and polite… You look too much like me when I was young!”

Under the curious and doubtful gazes of the investigators, Roan walked out of the office area of Investigation Team No. 5 without changing his expression. He patted Mona on the shoulder, who was waiting for him at the office entrance, and smiled.

“Let’s go, teammate. We have three days to get the bounty.”

“What, do you think three days is a long time?”

Mona rolled her eyes at Roan, took the folder, and walked to the elevator. She asked while reading the documents,”

“Where are we going next?”

“Let’s get our weapons first.”

…

In the equipment storage, Mona applied for a bulletproof vest and a Glock 19. After she was done, she turned to look at Roan’s equipment and was stunned.

Roan was wearing a pitch-black combat uniform. He held a tactical helmet in his hand and wore a plate carrier on his chest. There were a few bags at his waist that were filled with smoke grenades and stun grenades. There were also two Glock 18s in the holsters. Mona took a closer look and saw that Roan was also holding six pistol extended magazines.

“A Glock 18 can hold 33 bullets in its extended magazine, but you actually took eight!”

Mona felt like she was going crazy. She questioned loudly, “This is New York. We’re going to investigate a case! Do you think this is a battlefield?”

“It’s because this is New York that I took so many things.”

Hearing Mona’s shout, Roan spread his hands and said helplessly, “If it wasn’t for the fact that the equipment warehouse didn’t allow it, I would have taken a few grenades and submachine guns!”

“…”

Mona covered her forehead and muttered to herself, “I must be crazy to actually agree to team up with such a person.”

” Listen, Mona,” Roan explained seriously.” There’s only one life. I don’t want to die before I can make money. Let’s go, we only have three days.”

Mona’s mouth twitched when she saw Roan’s back as he strode away. She hesitated for a few seconds before following him.

However, she did not dare to raise her head.

…

Central Park, 3.00 PM…

The two of them drove to the small road where the crime scene was. It was already daytime, and there were many tourists strolling in the park.

Seeing Roan’s fully armed figure, the passersby all subconsciously avoided him. A few patrolling police officers even went forward to ask Roan’s identity, but they were all stopped by Mona, who was holding an FBI ID.

Seeing the confused gazes around her, Mona held her breath and tilted her head.”

“What are we doing here? The crime scene had been cleaned up by the New York Police Department after taking photos and searching for clues. There were no clues here.”

Roan stood at the spot where Mike’s body was in the photo and pondered. After hearing Mona’s question, he replied, “No, the location of the corpse’s death is the biggest clue.”

“Huh?”

Seeing the confusion on Mona’s face, Roan said seriously, “Have you ever thought about why the murderer wanted to kill Mike in this position?”

“Um, because there was no one else here except the murderer and the victim?”

“This is only one of the reasons.”

Roan nodded and continued, “The more important reason is that this place is hidden enough, and it’s convenient to leave after killing people.”

Roan pointed around and introduced Mona, “To the west of this location is the river and lake. The testimonies of the passers-by did not mention the sound of a boat passing by, so the murderer could not have escaped in the direction of the river after killing the people. To the south and north are paths that lead to the roads, and to the east is a large forest. The case report shows that the New York Police Department did not find any useful clues in the forest, so…”

Mona’s eyes lit up as she continued, “So the murderer escaped from the crime scene from the south or north side?”

“No, the murderer escaped from the forest.”

Roan shook his head and continued, “When the passers-by heard the gunshots, they were walking together from the north-south path of the crime scene, so the murderer could only escape through the woods.”

Mona thought about it briefly and found that the testimony was indeed so. She then asked,”

“But the New York Police Department brought their police dogs to search the woods in the east, but they didn’t find any clues…”

“Dogs can’t, but I can.”

“What?”
