"Ah!"
Several piercing screams rang out simultaneously. The two higher-pitched ones came from the store owner and her daughter, while the more painful one came from the mentally ill patient on the ground, whose hand had been twisted behind his back.
Using a standard grappling position to restrain the man, Ma Xidao waved to the detective undercover hiding behind two FBI agents, "What are you still standing there for, bastard? Get them out of here!"
Jack and Clay at the door stepped aside to make way, and several detectives escorted the mother and daughter out of the convenience store. Ma Xidao, gripping the lunatic's wrist, was furious when he saw he still held the knife tightly, refusing to let go.
"Let go, you little brat."
"Ah, you bastard, let me go!"
"You like stabbing people, don't you? Does that hurt, huh? Does that hurt?" Ma Xidao said as he twisted the man's wrist and pointed the tip of the knife at his butt, poking a small hole in it.
The madman struggled desperately in pain. The two FBI agents at the door moved back together in tacit agreement, blocking the view of the onlookers outside.
"Captain Ma, we're still rushing to the school to arrest someone." Seeing that the guy seemed to be getting addicted to his game, Jack could only cough lightly and urged him.
"Huh? Why didn't you say so earlier? I almost forgot." Ma Xidao snatched the knife and threw it aside. He easily lifted the madman from the ground with his left hand, but was bitten hard on the back of his hand. He subconsciously pushed him away.
"Ashiba!" The madman, who was pushed away, swung his fist and rushed at Ma Xidao. The next second, he was hit hard in the back of his hand and fell to the ground unconscious.
"Why are you biting me? Are you a zombie?" Ma Xidao shook his bitten left hand repeatedly, the flesh on his face shaking with his movements.
"Is this the kind you were talking about? Huh?" Clay looked at Jack with an expression that said, "Did you trick me before?"
What happened to the promise that Korean police were all cowards? Even in the United States, the police wouldn't dare treat a suspect so arrogantly, especially in public.
Jack didn't know how to explain it, so he could only throw up his hands helplessly. Who made them run into the most bizarre police officer in all of South Korea?
Otherwise, why would Ma Dong-seok be called the "last man in Korea" by Chinese audiences, even though the actor is actually a Korean who grew up in the United States.
Gangnam District, an administrative district in Seoul, is located south of the Han River.
The metropolitan area centered on Seoul has a total population of 26 million, accounting for more than half of the total population of South Korea. The most attractive and sought-after area in the Seoul metropolitan area is naturally Gangnam District, known as the "rich area."
Long before a certain style became popular, Gangnam District had become Seoul's most important commercial and fashion center. Sinsa, Yeoksam, Nonhyeon, and Samseong are places where many multinational companies gather. Apgujeong, as a famous shopping district, is a gathering place for fashion brands.
Nonhyeon-dong has many well-known Korean film companies. In addition to many "Korean Wave" stars, there are also many science and education action movies "Teachers" that are popular among veteran drivers.
Compared with Jiangbei, the urban construction in Gangnam District is relatively new, with tall buildings everywhere, which is more in line with the normal people's cognition of a modern metropolis.
With a local leading the way, Jack and Clay easily found the high school where Jessica Townsend and Grayson Faber taught.
Seeing that Ma Xidao was about to say goodbye after leading the way, Jack hurriedly called him, "Team Leader Ma, if there is nothing urgent, please follow us to work on the case for the next two days.
With the help of a policeman who is familiar with the local situation and can speak fluent English, many things will be simpler, and we don't want to disturb the busy prosecutor Jin Junhao every time."
Ma Xidao's chubby face crumpled, looking utterly embarrassed. "Actually, I'm very busy with work."
"I'll treat you to drinks tonight. Chinese baijiu, please. We might stay in Seoul for a couple of days after the case is over. I'd love for you to be our guide." Jack winked, a look that said,
"Ah, I see." Hearing this American FBI agent hint at free food, drinks, and perhaps even free time, Ma Xidao burst into laughter.
"Okay, since it's the prosecutor's request, I will do my best. Tell me what case you are investigating."
The three of them walked into the school together. The two FBI agents briefly told Ma Xidao about the case. Finally, Jack put forward their needs, "We hope to find the first place where the body of Barbara Walker from the UK was dumped, who was killed two weeks ago."
Ma Xidao listened attentively, with big questions in his small eyes, "What do you mean by geographical profiling?"
Jack explained, "The two victims abandoned their bodies in basically the same way, and the forensic evidence on the bodies can also show that it may be the work of the same murderer.
If we can find the place where Barbara Walker's body was first abandoned, "We might be able to find some connection and determine the killer's area of activity,"
Clay continued. "Our colleague Alice has made numerous calls but still hasn't been able to understand Seoul's complex waste sorting procedures or the department responsible for them, so we need your help."
Ma Xidao scratched his head. "I think you should contact the Living Environment Planning Division of the Clean Environment Bureau. Never mind, leave it to me. Send me the relevant information later and it'll be done quickly."
As they spoke, the three of them had already entered the teaching building. Communication was much easier with a local around, especially when that local was a police officer with the menacing look of a gangster.
Therefore, they quickly found their target in the teacher's office. "Grayson Faber?"
"What's up?" Grayson Faber, also white, wasn't overly surprised to see two white men looking for him until Jack revealed his identity.
"I'm Agent Jack Tavola, and this is Agent Spencer. We're from the FBI, and we'd like to ask you a few questions about Jessica Townsend."
"Huh?! Uh... Okay, no problem. Let's find a place where we can talk and discuss this in detail." Grayson Faber's expression suddenly became extremely varied. It took him a long time to smile, then he stood up and walked towards the office door.
Jack showed Clay a helpless look, and sure enough, the next moment, Grayson Faber, who was walking in front, took off running and rushed out of the office like a fly.
"Bang!"
A heavy slap sent him back to where he was, and he got an extremely sweet sleep.
Ma Xidao, who was waiting at the door, had an innocent look on his face. He looked at his big slap like a palm fan and then at the white guy on the ground, "Do you believe me when I say he bumped into me?"
"I believe everything you say. As long as you are responsible for waking him up, there will be no problem." Jack sighed.
