US police: outlaws

Chapter 18: Transferred to Patrol the Mountainous Area

Just as Ethan Lee came to the front of the car and carefully examined the license plate, Rebecca on the right suddenly shouted at the driver.

"Please place your hands on the steering wheel."

The driver was a little confused.

"I haven't broken the law, there's no need for me to do this."

"It's necessary, for my safety."

Seeing that the other party was not complying, Rebecca decided to use the method she always used to punish them.

"Do you have weapons in your car?"

Upon hearing this, the driver's previously frank attitude softened considerably.

"I have a handgun, which is a legal weapon registered using my personal information."

Rebecca immediately roared upon hearing this.

"Get out of the car now for inspection. I feel you have threatened my safety."

The driver refused.

"I did not break the law."

Rebecca pulled out her pistol and aimed it at the driver.

"Your actions have threatened my safety. Get out of the car now."

Lee Ethan, who was standing to the side, was shocked. If someone had a gun, all they needed to do was show them a valid gun license; there was no need to make such a fuss.

"Rebecca, what are you doing?"

"He's armed. Ethan, you go and arrest him. I'll cover you."

Li Yisen was so angry he laughed. If you think the other party is a threat, why don't you go yourself?

"Sir, just show me your identification to prove you are legitimate."

"No, he must come out and be investigated. I will search his car and may also file multiple charges against him."

"no."

The driver watched the two arguing in bewilderment. He was prepared to offer no resistance and sue the police station if they made a violent arrest; he figured he could get a new car then.

Rebecca, unable to bear it any longer, followed Ethan Lee to a distance of about twenty meters and then erupted in anger.

"Constable Ethan, I'm the boss, what I say goes."

"You're not my superior; you're just a temporary replacement. This is the police car unit I'm in charge of."

Rebecca laughed in anger; she hated that a newcomer dared to talk back to her.

"You're very good, very good. Don't think you're something special just because you've done a few good deeds. I've worked for over 10 years, which is far more than your mere year of police service."

Li Yisen didn't want to continue the conversation; it wouldn't look good if passersby saw them.

"I'm in charge of the 9A55 police car unit. Evelyn, have you finished your inspection?"

Evelyn was standing by the car window checking the driver's documents. They had been working together for a week and had developed a good understanding of each other.

"The examination is complete, sir. You may leave now."

Seeing the male police officer staring intently at him, the driver had no choice but to give up his plan to watch the drama unfold. However, before leaving, he still struck up a conversation with the female police officer in front of him, who was beautiful and had a stunning figure.

"Beautiful lady, could you please give me your number?"

Evelyn smiled sweetly.

"Sir, if you don't leave now, I can arrest you for sexual harassment."

"....."

The driver left, and Evelyn suppressed her excitement as she watched the two officers confront each other.

Curse her to death, curse her to death already, Ethan, senior, give it your all.

Rebecca was so angry that her face contorted. How dare this mere newcomer talk back to her? Who did he think he was? She was going to talk to her colleagues about this newcomer's attitude.

"Ethan Lee, you'd better watch yourself."

Li Yisen didn't tolerate the other party's behavior. After finishing his patrol and returning to the police station, he immediately went to the superintendent's office.

He didn't want to be on the same team as this lousy guy; if he had let him arrest the driver, he would most likely have to pay compensation later.

Even if you don't get fired, it will have a significant impact on your future promotion assessment, since it was your team that caused the police station to lose money.

"That's the gist of the matter. Officer Rebecca is easily influenced by her emotions and commits illegal acts."

"Andrew Bailey said in a deep voice."

"Ethan Lee, do you know what it means to complain about a colleague who has a higher position than you?"

In the workplace, even if someone isn't isolated, they'll still be met with a cold shoulder if they report on their own people or complain about a colleague.

Although Lee Ethan didn't want to have a time bomb next to him, he knew he had to find a different approach.

"Sir, I didn't report or complain about Officer Rebecca. I'm just describing her personality to you. She's more reserved when patrolling with her peers, but she's different when dealing with new recruits. Otherwise, why did you transfer the probationary officer that Rebecca was training? So, for the sake of work efficiency, I hope you'll think this through."

"..."

Andrew Bailey rubbed his temples.

"Alright, your cooperation ends here."

"Thank you very much. I'll be going now if there's nothing else."

Andrew suddenly tried to persuade his subordinate, who was planning to leave, to stay.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you. This month, our third group is responsible for patrolling the mountains, and I'm planning to put you in charge of that."

Li Yisen was stunned.

"Our crew is responsible for the mountainous area?"

"That's right. Each patrol group in our department sends a team to patrol the mountains. I plan to send you there."

After thinking about it, Li Yisen had no choice but to accept. As the saying goes, when your boss assigns something, do you have the option to refuse?

To put it bluntly, if the superintendent had to weigh the two, he might not choose this outstanding newcomer, especially since Rebecca had already been there for eight years.

When Lee Ethan left the office, he indeed saw Rebecca chatting with several colleagues, and she kept glancing at him, probably talking about something that had happened not long ago.

For some groups, not fitting in means being ostracized.

As soon as I came out, I saw that some of my colleagues had cold eyes and were not as enthusiastic as they had been when we met a few days ago.

Fine, I was originally planning to talk to a few senior officers about the key points of patrolling in the mountains, but if they don't want to ask, then so be it. It's not like he doesn't know anyone.

Oh, and I should also talk to my partner about this.

In the break room, Evelyn, looking at her phone, felt pretty good. Once Ethan got rid of that annoying old lady, she could go back to her comfortable patrol days.

When Evelyn saw Ethan Lee walk in, she asked sweetly.

"Senior, what did the commander say?"

"Rebecca will not be patrolling with us anymore."

Evelyn nodded, a smile involuntarily spreading across her face.

Seeing his junior unable to suppress his laughter, Li Yisen couldn't help but smile as well.

"By the way, I have two pieces of bad news for you. First, our crew will be on patrol in the mountains tomorrow. Second, I might be disliked by some of my colleagues, and you might be too."

"ha?"

"Okay, I'm going to get some sleep. I have to be on duty tonight."

Evelyn stared in disbelief as the other person disappeared. What was going on? How come I was being disliked too?

...

Time quickly came to 10 p.m., and Lee Esen thought the night would be peaceful until the car radio broadcast a message.

"Someone at No. 54 Xingguang Road called the police, claiming that his wife was shot and killed by a burglar during a home invasion. They requested that nearby police officers come to the scene."

When Lee Ethan arrived at his destination, he immediately saw Rebecca and her new partner walking toward a shirtless white man at the door, who looked like the male head of the household.

The next second, Lee Ethan suddenly hallucinated, seeing the white man suddenly turn around, pull out a pistol, and empty the magazine of the two policemen, killing them instantly.

Lee Ethan's expression changed slightly, and he immediately got out of the car. However, the distance was a bit far, and when he raised his gun while Evelyn was puzzled, the white man had already fired.

"Bang bang bang bang bang"

The male police officer immediately collapsed to the ground, and Rebecca, despite her injuries, ran out.

"Evelyn, notify the police immediately."

"Yes."

Lee Ethan fired at the white male officer who was about to finish him off, forcing the officer to be unable to kill the wailing male police officer and forcing them to exchange fire.

Bullets struck the car door, leaving dents, and the prisoner was forced back into the room.

At distances exceeding 50 meters, even highly skilled marksmen cannot aim accurately beyond the effective range.

Li Yisen hurriedly drove the car over, and at the same time, an idea came to him as he looked at the fallen male police officer.

The opportunity to clear their name has arrived.
