Chapter 57 Section IX

"I want to talk to you." Esperanza was waiting in Decker's driveway when the police car arrived.His usually easy-going, thin features were hardened with anger. "I want to know why you lied to me!" "lie?" Esperanza looked away from Decker and glanced at the bystanders on the road. "Go into the house." "You gotta tell me what's bothering you." "Go into the house." Decker raised his hand in a gesture of surrender. "Okay, whatever you want." As they entered, Esperanza slammed the door behind him.Then they came to the living room and sat down facing each other.

"I asked you if you were hiding anything from me, and you said you told me everything you could think of." Esperanza's breath came out quickly. "good." "Then you really need to go to the doctor—you have a serious problem with your memory," Esperanza said, "otherwise you won't forget such an important thing, which is that you have a relationship with the FBI. connect." "The FBI?" Decker gasped. "Damn! Do you have hearing problems too? Yes, the FBI! An hour ago, the FBI called me at the head of Santa Fe and said they wanted to talk to me. I wondered what he wanted me for Is it something to do with Los Alamos or something to do with Sandia weapons labs? Or is it a national security issue? Maybe an interstate serial crime? So when I got to his office, he started talking about the attack on your house You can imagine how surprised I was when it happened."

Decker dared not speak. "This thing is now in the hands of the federal government, you know? The federal government! My God, when he told me everything that happened last night, I opened my mouth in amazement and didn't shut it for a long time. The other cops know the details. How on earth did he get all this information? He didn't ask me about last night out of professional curiosity, he didn't need to ask, he was telling me everything .And then he told me some other stuff — the FBI wants me to let them take over the case from now on." Decker didn't move, afraid that any reaction he made would anger Esperanza even more.

"He told me that the attack on your house involved some extremely sensitive issues. He also told me that the FBI's interest in the attack was only reported to those who needed to know, and I didn't Yes. He warned me that I would do great harm if I insisted on meddling in this matter." Esperanza's eyes were blazing with anger. "Okay, I said to him. Hey, I mean I don't want to do a lot of harm, but I hope it doesn't happen. I'm a good player who is good at playing and combining like everyone else. I have already done this case. Let it go." Esperanza strode up to Decker. "But it doesn't mean that I can't intervene in this matter in an unofficial capacity, and it doesn't mean that I can't ask you to explain it yourself! Who are you? What happened last night? If you told me from the beginning Go talk to the FBI and I won't make a fool of yourself. Why on earth didn't you tell me?"

boom!With a loud bang, the house trembled.
