Early morning.
A white Toyota drove into the detectives' parking lot.
A black man with a big toothy smile got out of the car, walking with a skip towards the police building.
Mary from the tech team also got out of a nearby red sedan, and upon seeing the black man, she greeted him warmly, "Hey, Marcus, I heard your wife gave birth to a little princess."
"Yes, she was born the night before last. She's super cute. Do you want to see a photo?"
"I can't wait." She couldn't possibly say no, could she?
Marcus took out his phone and opened a photo, grinning widely, "This is a photo of her just after she was born.
Oh my God, look at her little mouth. Doesn't it look exactly like mine?"
Mary nodded, "Yes, she's adorable."
"And here's another one, her little hand holding onto my finger, what's the word for it?
Incredible!
At that moment, I thought, this little life is worth protecting with my entire life."
Mary said seriously, "You'll be a great father."
Marcus opened another photo, "This is a picture of the three of us together. At first, Julian didn't want to take it because she felt she didn't look pretty enough now.
But I think she looks the most beautiful at this moment.
We wanted to capture the reality of this moment, so we have this photo. Look at this little one sitting between us.
It's like she was born to be here, and we both love her so much."
Marcus got more and more excited and didn't notice the change in Mary's expression, "And this one, it's my mom holding her; their noses look exactly alike, hehe..."
Mary nodded again, having to interrupt him, "Marcus, you have a happy family. Why not take a few more days off?
Stay with your wife and child at the hospital, this is when they really need you."
"I want to be with them too, but I was chased out. In Julian's words, I need to earn money for the baby formula now.
Otherwise, I would never leave that cute little one."
"You're right, Julian is right too." Mary glanced at her watch, "OK, nice to see you.
I need to get to work now. Let's chat another day."
"Bye~"
Marcus hadn't walked far when he ran into Henry from the Anti-Drug Department and greeted him, "Hey, man, I heard you had a big operation yesterday, wasn't hurt, were you?"
Henry shrugged, "Do I look like I was?"
Marcus said seriously, "No, you look more like a big fool, haha."
Henry waved his hand, "I knew nothing good would come out of your mouth.
I heard from Vice Captain David, your wife just gave birth?"
"Yes, my wife gave birth to a super cute daughter, would you like to take a look..."
A road that wasn't originally long took Marcus ten minutes to walk down to the Robbery and Murder Department office.
"Hey, guys, I'm back! Surprise!"
Everyone greeted him in return.
"Hey, Marcus."
"Why are you at work so early? I thought you'd take a few more days off."
"How are Julian and the baby?"
"Congratulations on becoming a dad."
Marcus smiled and responded to everyone, "Julian and the baby are both great.
My mom's at the hospital taking care of them, she thinks I'm too clumsy to help and kicked me out." Marcus said, taking out his phone, "Do you guys want to see photos of my daughter?"
Before anyone could answer, Marcus continued, "I know you can't wait, come on.
"Hey, look at this photo, her eyes are as big as mine, like a jewel.
And this photo, I was so nervous holding her, she's so tiny, so soft, I didn't even know where to put my hands..."
Marcus shared photos of his daughter with a look of endless joy, chatting for nearly ten minutes.
Luke saw him not stopping, clapped his hands, "Guys, time's getting on, we should start the meeting."
Even though Luke and Marcus got along well, this kind of excessive baby showing was honestly a bit annoying. Not everyone likes kids.
The vice captain said, "Marcus, a piece of advice, don't casually show your family photos, never."
"Thanks, I was just too happy, couldn't wait to share with you, I won't do it again." Marcus put away his phone.
Luke sipped some coffee to wet his throat, "OK, let's talk about the progress of yesterday's case investigation.
Yesterday, Port and I were involved in the operation to capture drug traffickers, two of whom were shot dead on the spot, and another was brought back to the station for interrogation.
Based on the confession of the drug traffickers, their drugs were indeed hijacked from Harry Sabo.
They were able to know the time and place of the drug deal accurately because they had an insider.
That insider was the buyer of the drugs, Little William Moses, who was also the victim of the second shooting."
Luke paused, then continued, "On the night of March 1st, Little William Moses was shot and seriously injured.
He had just hijacked the drugs from Harry Sabo.
Feeling guilty, he thought his hijacking had been exposed, believing Harry Sabo was taking revenge on him.
For his safety, he decided to retaliate, instructing two drug traffickers to kill Harry Sabo.
After killing Harry Sabo, they also wanted to kill Harry Sabo's accomplice, Enco Dumate, but they haven't been able to find him."
