Marcus's house.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Xiao Hei was sitting at the dining table having breakfast. His mother came out of the kitchen carrying a dinner plate and asked, "How did Julian sleep last night?"

Xiao Hei ate his breakfast with a sigh of relief, "It's pretty good."

"You slept well, I heard your snoring from the corridor. If I were Julian, I would definitely kick you out of bed."

"Mom, don't be so mean. I have also contributed to this family. You also know that I am a detective now. In addition to investigating crimes, I also have to lead new people. The work tasks and responsibilities are much heavier than before..."

Marcus' mother interrupted him, put her hands on the table, and looked down, "Julian is almost due and may give birth at any time. I will watch her during the day.

But at night, you are closest to her, and you have to fulfill your responsibilities as a husband and father."

"I will."

Marcus' mother said, "If you are tired from working during the day, take a break and wait until Julian gives birth before going back to work."

"Our team just received a difficult case. Without my participation in the investigation, they may not be able to solve the case. They need me.

But... you are right, Julian and the child are more important than the case, I will talk to the captain."

"Well done, I'm proud of you, son." Marcus' mother smiled, and it was obvious that her words were sincere.

"Do you want me to ask Julian for dinner?"

"No No No, more sleep is good for pregnant women. I will give her hot meals later. You can go to work as soon as you finish."

"OK, I will try to come back as early as possible in the evening." Xiao Hei lowered his head to eat breakfast, looking a little absent-minded, as if he was considering whether to ask Luke for leave.

"Ah oh..." A cry came from upstairs.

Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, dropped his knife and fork, and ran up the stairs three steps at a time, "Julian, what's wrong with you?"

Julian stood at the door of the bedroom on the second floor, holding on to the door frame, "I feel a little bad, my stomach hurts, it seems... my water has broken."

"What! Does your stomach hurt? Do you want me to help you sit down?" Xiao Hei walked to Julian and supported her body, feeling a little at a loss.

Xiaohei's mother walked upstairs and asked with concern, "Julian, your water broke?"

"Yes." Julian was also a little nervous, but he patted Xiao Hei's hand and comforted him, "Honey, I'm fine."

Xiaohei's mother asked, "Can you walk now?"

Julian nodded firmly, "It should be okay."

"Very good." Marcus' mother said very calmly, "Marcus, you take Julian downstairs, and I will pack her things and send her to the maternity hospital."

"Hey, baby, I'm helping you." Xiao Hei took a deep breath and helped Julian carefully walk downstairs.

Marcus' mother had been waiting for this day for a long time. She had already packed her luggage in advance and went downstairs with two big bags. Marcus also helped Julian get into the car.

Marcus stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.

Marcus' mother said, "Don't worry. It's normal for the amniotic water to break. It means you are going to be a father soon."

"OK, I'm not nervous." Xiao Hei took a deep breath, glanced at Julian in the rearview mirror, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his expression was normal.

Half an hour later, the car drove to Mensato Maternity Hospital. Xiao Hei parked the car and helped Julian out of the car, "Hey, honey, don't be nervous, we're here."

When they arrived at the hospital, Julian calmed down and said, "As long as mom goes in with me, you can go to work."

"No, I'm not going anywhere today. I'm just going to stay with you. Let the cases and suspects go to hell. No one can try to take me away from you." Xiao Hei helped Julian go upstairs, silently.

I wiped my sweat, he couldn't go wrong with this kind of proposition.

If you make a mistake, a woman may remember it for the rest of her life.

'When I gave birth to a child, you were actually investigating. You might as well live your whole life with the suspect.'

'Baby, do you know? When you were born, your father went to have a check-up, and I gave birth to you with tears in my eyes.'

Xiao Hei shook his head, feeling terrible when he thought about it. He would not leave even one step before the child was born.

…

Robbery and Murder Division Conference Room.

Luke walked out of the office and clapped his hands, "Guys, let's have a morning meeting to talk about the progress of your investigation."

The deputy team member said, "I led people to check the road surveillance near the scene of Harry Saab's murder. Harry Saab's pickup truck was found on the road surveillance, followed by a black Buick driving by. I checked the black

The Buick license plate is a fake car.

I suspect that this car is probably the vehicle driven by the suspect.

I have been tracking the car but have not found its whereabouts yet."

"Black Buick." Luke repeated. The gunman who attacked William Moses Jr. was driving a white Honda car. This further confirmed Luke's guess that the gunman who killed Harry Szabo and shot William Moses Jr.

Probably not the same group of people.

One used a dummy car, and the other deliberately blocked the number plate. The former's approach was obviously smarter.

If you don’t check the fake car, you won’t know it’s fake, but everyone knows there’s something wrong with covering the number plate.

Luke asked Jackson, "Any clues about the Honda that attacked William Moses Jr.?"

Jackson turned the pen with his right hand, "We are tracking it, and I believe there will be clues soon."

The deputy team leader said, "Boy, I've heard this kind of talk too much. You have to show actual results." The deputy team leader glanced around, "Where's Marcus? Why is the room so quiet?

Where did the guy go?"

Luke said, "I just received a call that Marcus's wife is going to give birth and he went to the hospital to accompany the birth."

The deputy team member said with emotion, "Wow, this guy is going to have a child. I hope he will be a qualified father."

Luke said firmly, "He will be."

The deputy asked, "Do you think he will have a son or a daughter?"

Jackson said, "Son."

Jenny said, "Daughter."

The deputy team leader laughed, "Why don't we take a gamble and I'll be the banker.

Captain, what do you think?"

Luke shrugged, "Why not? I'll bet you a hundred bucks, girl."

Jackson said, "I don't have that much pocket money. I'll bet fifty dollars, boy."

The deputy team member greeted the others, "Guys, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and place your bets..."

…

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Luke was taking a lunch break in the captain's office when the door to the office suddenly rang.

Luke slowly raised his head, rubbed his face with his hands, "Come in."

"Creak..." Jackson opened the door and walked into the office, "Captain, I found clues about that car."

"Have you found the whereabouts of that car?"

"No, but I found the license plate number of that car."

Luke stood up and followed Jackson out of the office.

Jackson pointed at the computer and said, "At first, I was tracking forward in time, but the car drove into an unmonitored alley and then lost track.

After that, I traced back and found a photo of a white Honda car.

At that time, the car was three blocks from the bar and William Moses Jr. had not yet been attacked, so the license plate was not obscured.

I enlarged part of the screenshot and saw the exact license plate number, 2lcx335."

"Great job." Luke praised.

Soon, the car owner’s information was retrieved.
