America, starting as a trainee police officer

The fear that humanity faces does not lie in the horror itself.

Rather, it stems from a conscious anticipation of an impending terrorist event.

To torment Frank a little longer.

Li Wei did not immediately close the wire cutter.

Instead, apply force slowly.

Frank felt the sharp touch and slight stinging sensation of the scissors on both sides of his thumb.

My brain is about to go crazy.

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!"

Li Wei's rope was tied very securely.

Frank couldn't utter a single word except for making whimpering noises.

Frank was covered in sweat, his pupils constricted.

The person was in a state of fear.

Compared to the outrageous things he had done, Li Wei felt that this punishment was far too lenient.

To be fair, whether Frank is good or bad doesn't really concern him, not because of the system's reward.

He most likely won't even bother with this scumbag.

Seeing that he had tortured him enough, Li Wei exerted more force.

The wire cutters snapped shut with a click.

"Ughh ...

Frank gritted his teeth against the rope; the intense pain turned his face purple and made his veins bulge.

[Mission Completed: Punish Frank Gallagher. Reward: Micro-expression Observation Lv1]

Upon receiving the system notification, Li Wei quickly picked up the scissors.

Although the possibility was slim, just to be on the safe side, the ropes binding Frank's mouth and hands were loosened and removed.

The rope was taken from the scene in Calitley, just in case someone with ulterior motives makes a connection.

"Why! Why are you doing this to me!? Such a generous crab! God! It hurts like hell!"

After being released, Frank covered his bleeding right foot with both hands, his eyes were closed, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

Li Wei naturally had no desire to answer his question.

He left Frank behind and departed.

...

The next day, early morning.

After the morning meeting, Li Wei and Lopez went to the hospital.

On a nearby hospital bed, Frank's right foot was wrapped in gauze.

Bianca is checking Frank's IV drip.

Seeing Levi and Lopez approaching, Bianca smiled and said, "Hi, we meet again."

"Hello, Dr. Samson, what's wrong with him?" Although Bianca was looking at Levi when she spoke, it was Lopez who answered her.

"A passerby called 911 last night and took him to the hospital. His right big toe had been cut off. I don't know the specifics, you can ask him."

Upon hearing this, Lopez nodded.

"Okay, we understand. Thank you, doctor."

"It's my job. Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask your names?"

Upon hearing this, Lopez looked at Bianca suspiciously, then at Levi.

"Angela Lopez, V. Lee."

"Thank you, I'll get back to work now, officers."

Having obtained the information she wanted, Bianca left the ward.

Watching Bianca's retreating figure, Lopez looked at Levi with a teasing expression: "She seems to have a thing for you."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei raised an eyebrow: "Let's focus on solving the case."

This is the second time he has personally interrogated himself about a case he committed; thinking about it, it's kind of exciting.

Seeing that Levi avoided the topic, Lopez felt that the problem was even bigger.

"You're not interested in other people too, are you?"

Li Wei did not answer her.

Seeing him like this, Lopez got even more excited.

"If you're interested, go ask her out," Lopez said, looking at Levi with a gossipy expression.

She was happy to see her newbie fall in love.

But Li Wei really had no such plans.

Although Bianca is a nice girl, he isn't very interested in settling down.

Now that we're in America, we definitely have to try all sorts of new things.

"Let's get back to work." Levi was a little exasperated by Lopez's gossipy mode.

Seeing that this was the best that could be said, Lopez didn't continue gossiping.

Li Wei and I went to Frank's bedside.

"Mr. Frank Gallagher. Did you see the face of the thug who attacked you last night?"

Upon hearing this, Frank, who was lying on the bed looking somewhat resigned, rolled his eyes: "Hell no!"

"There isn't even a decent streetlight over there, how could I possibly see what the other person looks like? Just like last time, everything was completely covered up."

Frank's tone was tinged with resentment.

"Can you confirm that the perpetrator this time is the same person who attacked you last time?"

Upon hearing this, Frank remained silent for a moment, crossed his arms, and looked down.

After a long pause, he finally compared the two figures in his mind: "I can't see clearly, so I can't be sure if it's the same person."

Upon hearing this, Lopez and Levi exchanged a glance.

But their opinions differed. Lopez felt it was troublesome because they couldn't find anyone at all.

In addition, in that godforsaken place in the South District, nine out of ten security cameras are broken.

If Frank is unable to identify the culprit, then things will be really difficult.

Li Wei nodded to himself. Although his micro-expression observation was only at level one, he could still tell that Frank was not lying.

"Mr. Gallagher, have you recently made enemies with anyone? Perhaps gangsters or something?"

Since identification is not possible, we can only look for correlations.

"..."

Upon hearing this question, Frank opened his mouth but said nothing.

Upon closer reflection, he realized he had quite a few enemies, including the gangsters Lopez had mentioned.

In such a large area as the South District, it's extremely rare to find someone who hasn't been scammed by him.

"I don't know, I've offended quite a few people, Gibson, Eric, even my eldest daughter Fiona. I can name hundreds of names on the spot."

Frank stared at the ceiling with a hint of despair.

To be fair, Frank, that bastard, has a pretty good memory.

After all, he was once a top student at Northwestern University.

"Okay, Mr. Gallagher, we will continue to follow up on this case. Thank you for your cooperation."

Lopez scribbled in his notebook, then nodded to Frank and left with Levi.

"Any clues?"

Watching Lopez leave so gracefully, Li Wei felt a little worried. Had she figured something out?

"Nop, there's nothing there."

Lopez looked completely unconcerned.

"and you?"

Li Wei looked at Lopez with a blank expression.

"Rookie, I have a lot of things to do today, I don't have time to waste on a homeless man."

After saying that, Lopez rolled her eyes.

Hearing this explanation, Li Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought Lopez had been possessed by a detective.

...

On the street, after cleaning up the mess left by the police officers who hadn't dealt with Frank during the night shift, Lopez and Levi returned to their patrol.

Suddenly, Lopez's phone started buzzing.

"Huh? Why did he call me?"
