At the same time, in Marcel's office.
Easton walked in with a stack of documents. When he saw the door open at the door, Marcel was busy with something, so he knocked on the door first. "Captain Hopkins!"
"Come in!" Marcel said in a low male voice.
After Easton came in, he put the materials on the table in front of him and said, "Captain Hopkins, I have all the materials about Rae sorted out!"
Marcel looked up and glanced at the stack of A4 paper printed and bound materials in front of him. There were dozens of pages, and it looked quite thick. Marcel took it, glanced at it, and nodded, "Well, thank you!"
"Captain Hopkins, you're welcome, just ask me if you need!" Easton showed his willingness to help.
Marcel nodded to him again, "Okay, I will ask you if I want you to do something. If there is nothing, you can leave work on time!"
"Ok!" Easton said, "There is nothing else to do today, I can just pick up my kid to eat together!"
Upon hearing this, Marcel asked him, "How old is your child?"
"Sixteen! A student of grade 2 in senior high school!" Easton replied.
"Boy or girl?"
"Boy!" Easton looked proud as soon as he told about his son.
Seeing his look, Marcel said, "That must be a very good kid!"
"Just so-so!" Easton was also humble, but his face couldn't hide the joy.
Marcel naturally noticed it, and praised him with several words Easton liked to hear, "There will be no laggard among the chidren of a brave or talented men! Look at you, I know you child can't be worse!"
When Easton heard it, he burst out laughing. "Captain Hopkins, thank you!"
"You're welcome!" Marcel took Rae's material and looked at it.
Easton watched him read Rae's material now, and asked casually, "Captain Hopkins, what do you want Rae's material for?"
When Marcel heard the words, raised his eyes and stared at Easton's eyes, Easton immediately smiled.
Marcel didn't answer, just said, "Go pick up the baby, and then take a good rest. I promise not to call you tonight!"
"Then... okay!" Easton nodded awkwardly, took another look at the material in his hand, and then left thoughtfully.
Marcel turned over the material, only read a few pages, and then threw it on the table, seemingly unhappy.
Then, he quickly read through a few pages to the end of the material, and then the expression on his face became darker. He put the material into the drawer of his desk, and then took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call was quickly connected, and the call was answered over there.
He immediately said to the phone, "Garbassi, you come to my office immediately!"
After speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.
His tone was very cold!
Garbassi didn't know what happened. He hurried to Marcel's office. When he came in, Marcel was smoking at the window. He greeted to Marcel, "Captain Hopkins?"
Marcel immediately turned around and said to him, "Close the door!"
Garbassi didn't know what was going on. He thought he was studying a secret case, so he closed the door immediately, and waited.
Marcel threw a cigarette to Garbassi first.
Garbassi took it, and both of them began to smoke.
Marcel said, "Garbassi, how long have you worked with Easton Holder?"
"Easton Holder?" Garbassi seemed to be taken aback, "Easton!"
Easton's full name was Easton Holder, but everyone was used to calling him Easton, so they have forgotten his first name!
"Easton has been in the bureau for 23 years, right? He was working at the police station in the town when I came, and he was transferred to here later. What's the matter?"
"What about Rae?" Marcel asked again.
Garbassi was taken aback for a moment, first inquired about Marcel's face to see if he was happy or angry, but after watching for a long time, he couldn't see what his look was, because he didn’t show any emotions on his face that Garbassi didn’t know how to answer!
He was asking Rae?
There were rumors that Rae and Captain Hopkins were couple!
Shouldn’t he know her well?
Why he was asking him?
Garbassi was wondering how to answer so that he would not be scolded, and he had to make Marcel happy.
This was a problem.
He hesitated for a long time, until Marcel's sharp eyes swept over. He gritted his teeth quickly and decided to tell the truth. "Rae has been on the team for three years. She has been here since she graduated. This girl has always been well-behaved, has a passion for her work, and she is not too close to her colleagues. She is a good person!"
This answer was neither exaggerated nor belittled. It was his own subjective cognition. Even if Marcel gets angry, he still would say these words!
He risked offending the leader and told him that, no matter what he thought!
As a result, Marcel said, "Just a good person, but not very good?"
Garbassi blinked his eyes, wondering if Marcel was arguing for the sake of arguing.
He shook his head quickly, "No, she is good, I'm used to using ‘good’ to describe people, Captain Hopkins is used to using excellent, they have the same meaning!"
"You are all smart and sophisticated, you know how not to offend people!" Marcel said bluntly. "I'm looking for you to help me investigate Rae, from school, to the current information, investigate it for me!"
Garbassi was taken aback again, thinking Marcel was investigating Rae’s background to see if Rae was a bad girl? He was most afraid of this kind of thing, and it was simply a thankless effort, but he couldn't refuse it.
Garbassi was in trouble for a while.
Marcel didn't speak, just stared at him with his sharp eyes.
In the end, under the pressure of his eyes, he said, "Okay, no problem, I will get you a detailed investigation result!"
Marcel gave a look of approval and nodded.
Garbassi left, and came across Rae who was about to leave. He looked at Rae with scrutiny in his eyes. He didn't know what was the relationship between Rae and Marcel. He really didn't want to get involved.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
