Chapter 1865


    After two days of hard work, the case had finally been solved.


    During lunchtime, someone suggested excitedly, "My dear colleagues, since the case was solved


    smoothly, shouldn''t we celebrate?"

    Someone immediately answered, "Yes, that''s right. We should celebrate it. After all, this was


    Captain Hefner''s first case and he solved it perfectly. We must celebrate!"


    Soon, another voice was heard, "However, I heard that Captain Hefner got this position not because


    of his capabilities, but through connections."


    As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.


    The news didn''t sound fake. Many of them had actually thought this way.


    The scene was awkward.


    After a few seconds, someone broke the silence and argued, "Yes, someone brought that up


    before, and many of us thought so too. Sergeant Scott got demoted so abruptly, and Captain Hefner


    was appointed at the same time. Most of us didn''t know Captain


    Hefner well, which led to this misunderstanding."


    It was precisely because of these reasons that they misunderstood Jefferson.


    Everyone fell silent once again. After a while, someone chimed in, "If it weren''t for Captain Hefner,


    we wouldn''t be able to solve this case in such a short time. We have to celebrate it. In fact, it''s a


    good opportunity for us to apologize to Captain Hefner!"


    Another officer agreed, "If everyone is fine with it, let''s set a time and have a little party and invite


    Captain Hefner over too. If we apologize, I''m sure that he''ll forgive us,"


    Someone then suggested, "That''s right. We''re not here to make trouble with Captain Hefner. Since


    it started because of a misunderstanding, let''s find a time to talk it out. Let''s not keep this up."


    They all asked at the same time, "But who is going to be the one inviting Captain Hefner?"


    "Well..." All of them looked at each other, but none of them stood out. In their eyes, no one was


    qualified to invite Jefferson to the party.


    "The case has just been closed. The reports haven''t been written yet. Are you all already


    bragging?" Quill''s voice suddenly came from behind. Hearing that, everyone was overjoyed. At the


    same time, they had found a suitable candidate.


    All of them looked back at Quill with a ttering smile on their faces and eximed, "Quill, nice


    timing. You''re here when we need you the most."


    "You need me? Are you sure?" Quill could not believe that this group of people really needed him.


    When he was still the captain, no one really needed him, not to mention that he was not the captain


    now.


    The crowd nodded in unison and said, "We are very sure that no one is more suitable than you to


    do this job, Quill."


    "No one more suitable than me? What are you talking about?" He felt weird being stared at by a


    group of people as they were spurting strange things. Not only did Quill feel ufortable, he felt


    like he was walking into a tiger''s den.


    They immediately came forward and surrounded Quill. "Quill, Captain Hefner solved the first case


    here so perfectly. Don''t you think we should celebrate it?"


    "Captain Hefner may not like it, but it will be a good way to improve the bond within the team." Quill


    nodded and felt that it was somewhat sensible.


    Everyoneughed. "Sergeant Scott, we''ll leave the task to you then."


    "I..." Quill finally understood the situation. These people had already figured out a n and were


    waiting for him to jump into the trap himself. "If I go, he might not agree to it. It''s better if you ask


    someone else."


    Everyone massaged Quill''s back and shoulders. If they could, they would even kneel and hug


    Quill''s thighs. "Quill, if he doesn''t say yes even to you, do you think we''ll be able to get him to the


    party? You are such a responsible man. You will never let us down, right?"


    "You will never let us down!"


    Quill thought of someone whom Jefferson would not say no to. He cleared his throat and agreed,


    "All right. You guys should decide the time and venue. Leave Captain Hefner to me."


    Of course, as expected, the person who Quill had in mind was Adrienne.


    When he saw that there was no one around, he sneaked into Adrienne''s office and asked,


    "Adrienne, the guys asked me for my opinion, but I can''t make up my mind. Can I get your opinion?"


    "Me? Quill, you are asking me for my opinion? Are you sure about this?" Besides her knowledge in


    forensics, Adrienne did not think she could provide any help.


    "Not only you, but it''s also something decided by everyone here. Of course, you''re included."


    Speaking of this, Quill looked outside cautiously to make sure that no one else was there. Then he


    added, "The case was beautifully and timely solved. In addition, Captain Hefner had just arrived at


    the precinct. We are thinking of holding a small celebration party. We can alle together to have


    a meal, drink, and catch up with each other. If the rtionship between the superiors and


    subordinates is harmonious, it''s more convenient for us to work together in the future. Don''t you


    think so?"


    "Quill, if it''s to get everyone closer, of course I have no objections." Since Quill had said so, how


    could Adrienne say no?


    If she rejected, she would be destroying the harmonious rtionship between the colleagues. If she


    agreed... However, she knew very well that Jefferson did not like to participate in such events.


    "Adrienne, I''m relieved to hear that. I''ll leave the task of inviting Captain Hefner to you then. The


    party will be this evening. I''ll let you know the exact time and venue when it''s decided. " Upon


    hearing Adrienne''s answer, Quill was relieved. He was finally able toplete the task entrusted to


    him.


    "Me? Quill, that''s not possible." Adrienne seemed troubled. She knew that Jefferson didn''t like such


    parties, so she would definitely not persuade him to attend one. She knew that if she went to


    persuade Jefferson, he would eventually go even if he did not want to. In this way, Jefferson would


    be the one who would be put in a dilemma. Adrienne didn''t want this to happen, so she said, "Quill,


    Jefferson goes against me all the time. If you ask me to do it, he won''t go. You should get someone


    else to invite him."


    "Adrienne, you''re the closest to Captain Jefferson. As long as you talk to him nicely, he will surely


    listen to you. Besides, the hope of the whole team lies on you. How can you refuse? You''re beautiful


    and kind-hearted, so you won''t reject it, right? It''s decided." After that, Quill was about to run away.


    Unexpectedly, he turned around and bumped into a wall.
