Chapter 136 Chapter 136 P Three youths following the officers were against the rules.

78% +5 Now they were having a conflict with the local authorities. Bennett, though worried, tried to stop them. His words, however, took Joseph's side.

"We're really in a hurry. The girl has helped crack many big cases before. Though too young to join our team officially, she's an essential member,” he said. “Kid, please help us find someone to go with us." Stanley held back Joseph, amazed by his protruding veins and unusual outburst. "Who would have thought you'd surprise us like this? You seem mild-mannered, yet you assault a police officer. Calm down." The young officer, far from angry, explained good-naturedly, “I understand your concern as family members of a hostage. But criminals on borderlands are tough to catch.

"Our informant said we must wait for solid evidence before acting. Otherwise, more innocents would be hurt. Once exposed, these criminals would eliminate everyone inside. The missing informant would have definitely helped you, but she is missing." With no progress and night falling, everyone was anxious. No one cared about the informant he mentioned.

"Let's meet your superior. I'll talk to them," Bennett said, unwilling to be delayed by a guide.

But the young officer said, "Our leaders are at a town meeting until tomorrow. Only I'm on duty." Just then, the glass door opened, and in strode a dozen uniformed officers, all in their thirties with high-ranking badges. Marvin Duffy and Shawn Gaston were among them.

The young officer was startled. “Mr. Duffy, Mr. Gaston, why are you all back?" They had returned earlier than expected, along with other senior officers from different stations.

"Sam, prep the meeting room. Get all duty staff with equipment here," Marvin, the middle-aged man in the lead, said while heading indoors hastily.

Bennett introduced himself and briefly explained the situation. "We need a guide from your bureau.” Marvin nodded. "Sure. We're also heading there and brought two guides from town. You can have one." "Thanks," Bennett said, eager to set off.

Marvin, noting the late hour and their inexperience, advised, "The desert darkens quickly. It's dangerous. If you wait, we'll head out after our meeting. We can go together." "We'll go first," Bennett said, knowing Joseph and the others couldn't wait.

Marvin didn't insist, just warned them to be cautious.

The two groups then parted ways.

The young officer named Sam followed Marvin to the meeting room, asking, "Mr. Duffy, what's the urgency?" Marvin replied discreetly, "We've received a ramessage." "She's alive? That's great!" Sam's eyes widened. He then rushed to prepare decryption equipment to receive signals.

Ten minutes later, the guide plotted a route based on where the tracking signal disappeared.

However, as the car engine roared to life, Sam dashed out of the meeting room in a panic. “Joseph, Stanley, Larry! Are these guys in the team? If so, hold on!" His voice was strained, trying to be heard over the roar of the engines.

Three youthful faces popped out from the lead vehicle, calling back, "It's us! What's up? We're in a hurry!" Sam, spotting them, hurriedly handed them a note. “Our informant says to stop you." The three were confused. They opened the note. It read, [My brothers might clooking for me. Hold them back. It's not tyet.] And there were the names of the three of them. It was left by Quinlyn.

The three young men jumped out to question Sam, "How did you get this?" "Follow me. The leaders are waiting in the meeting room. Turns out your sister is our informant. What a coincidence!" Sam, now aware of everything, led them back into the meeting room with a much warmer attitude.

The room was brightly lit, with the long table already full of people.

Marvin, equally enthusiastic, cleared seats for them. Watching them glance at the blackboard and equipment, he began to explain, “Years ago, our bureau received an anonymous tip that helped crack a big case.

"Over the following years, this person continuously provided us with leads through various means. Since they were nameless, we referred to them as the 'young informant' based on age estimates.

"This young informant had remarkable skills and observational abilities, eventually connecting with NYX several of several of our stations. Later, to stay under the radar, we switched to racommunication and used Morse code for all exchanges.

"A few months back, we lost contact with her and assumed she'd met with misfortune. We didn't expect one of our e stations to suddenly receive a rasignal. She messaged us about a major case and told us to return here." The terms "radio," "Morse code," and "young informant" sounded incredibly fantastical to the special task force and Joseph, making them feel like they were in a dream.

"Are you saying that the informant is Quinlyn?" Stanley asked again, unsure.

"It must be her," Marvin said affably and sighed, "We've worked together for years, but this is the first twe've learned her name. Quinlyn, she's our hero." These words hit everyone present like a hammer blow to the heart.

Although they had all investigated Quinlyn's background before, firmly believing that she couldn't ɓe0 M2 involved in illegal activities on the border and might even be helping others, they now realized they'd underestimated her. Quinlyn had actually been working undercover for a long time, without even revealing her name.

For the past six months, when she vanished, everyone assumed she was dead, not knowing where to go to pay their respects at her grave.

Thinking of this, emotions surged in everyone's hearts, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Now she might be in a place where signals are blocked, so we can only contact her by radio. Rest assured, we'll definitely cooperate with the special task force to bring her back safely," Marvin said.
