Chapter 1 Surprise mission
Daniel was covering his head and sleeping on the sofa in his office when the phone rang. He frowned slightly and uncomfortably reached for the phone buried in the papers on his desk, his voice was still sleepy, "Director Kelvin, you're disturbing my sleep."
On the other side came the fury of the venerable director on the 18th floor, "Wake up! It's business time!"
Daniel was forced out of his peaceful slumber by a roar. He sighed wearily, "I'm just resting for a while."
Director Kelvin mercilessly assigned the task, "This afternoon, please bring that case's file to my room."
Policeman Daniel immediately protested, "Wait..."
He hadn't finished yet. Kenvin immediately turned off and left a long "beep". Daniel looked at the pile of papers on the desk and sighed. What a long tiring day!
The captain of investigation team No. 1 - Daniel, had just opened the door of his room, he suddenly saw a few file boxes in front of the door, and a few boxes of evidence of the case.
In the office, Matthew was resting his head on a pile of yellow criminal files, and sleeping soundly next to Patrick, who was covering his head with his shirt. Bradley and Johnny spread out the carpet and stretched out on the floor. The only one still awake was Emma, who leisurely held a cup of coffee in her hand. Having met Emma's sharp gaze, Daniel suddenly felt cooler and cooler, "Emma, haha, good morning, are you free?"
Emma hurled a precision knife into the target's heart, then turned to look at Daniel and raised her glasses, "Yes, it would be great if you could bring some corpses back for me to experiment with."
Daniel smiled wryly, “Okay. Next time, I'll take the serial killer cases."
Emma nodded in satisfaction, turned back into the forensic office, and slammed the door behind her.
Captain Daniel only now noticed his police officers lying on the floor. Even though he felt very guilty, he still had to wake them all up. He found the siren, turned the volume up to the highest level, and played the loudspeaker for the whole room. By the second, they had opened their eyes, stood up, and were ready to complete the task.
Daniel now passed on the duties of Director Kevin to everyone. Matthew rubbed his bald head and looked at Daniel, "So we all have to work overtime today?"
Daniel shrugged, “Never mind. Today, I let everyone off work. We worked so hard last night.”
Bradley gave him a thumbs up, “Great. Captain Daniel is the best.”
Then they quickly left. After tidying up the messy office, Daniel also quickly drove away before the director came to claim the files. The deadline to complete the application was one week. During that time, Kevin would never claim the file from him.
Daniel returned to the apartment provided and slept. Because of this damn case, he and the whole crime investigation team No. 1 had to work overtime for a month. In case Kevin would bother him, he decided to turn off the phone until the next day.
The reason why Daniel did so arbitrarily was that he knew that Kevin highly valued the talented. His grandfather and father both held important positions in the military and police. His grandfather was a Sergeant Major. His father used to be the director of the Los Angeles police department. At this time, he was the national security adviser. And Daniel was only 25 years old this year and was appointed the captain of the investigation team No. 1 - the youngest captain ever.

The next morning, after a day of rest, Daniel was extremely excited. When he woke up in the morning when he opened the phone, he saw several missed calls from Chief Kelvin. Just mentioning Kevin, on Daniel's phone, the words "Director Kevin is calling you..."
"Daniel! In 5 minutes, if you don't show up at my door, the whole crime investigation team No. 1 will clean up. Let's clean up together." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Daniel sighed and walked over to the elevator and dialed the 18th floor. He just missed his phone calls. If Kevin had something urgent, why not call the hotline? Daniel had two phones and one for emergencies.
He stood solemnly at the door and waited until there was a response. He entered. As soon as he opened the door, he was suddenly taken aback. Besides Kelvin, sitting in the middle, on the left was his father and on the right was Mika. Mika?
Daniel thought seriously. He just missed a few calls from the director. Why was his father there?
Also Mika Fox – The sole heir of Fox Corporation. Why did he not worry about his corporation but run to the police station?
The Fox family was not a title but a force. The Fox family began to trade weapons across the country during wartime. After the end of World War II, they withdrew to keep the gun market in Europe and America. All the weapons the police were using, including Daniel's favorite gun in his pocket, were provided by Fox Corporation. In addition to selling weapons, the Fox family also sold everything except people and "drugs". In general, in addition to some underground activities, the Fox family was also considered law-abiding citizens.
Daniel uneasily sat down in the only empty seat opposite Kevin, he didn't forget to say hello to his father, "Good morning, dad."
Then he also turned to Mika, "Long time no see, Mika Fox."
Mika sneered, "No need to be polite. I don't think you're looking forward to seeing me either."
Daniel smiled and said nothing. His father, Erisen, who was next to him, was also not polite and urged Mika, “Mika, Daniel is already here, please say whatever you want."
Mika nodded, he pulled out a bunch of photos from his bag and put them on the table for everyone to see. Daniel took the photos seriously and examined them carefully. The photos were not clear, and he only saw the figure of the character in the picture as a small girl. Each photo had a number on the back. Especially in some of the photos with words attached to threats. From the evidence collected, it seemed like some sort of blackmail threat, but Daniel knew the story wasn't that simple. Mika didn't have time to go from his 100th - floor building to the police department just to drink morning tea with old men. With Mika's personality, the person who took these photos wouldn't be able to survive and send him the second photo.
"You want the police to protect this person?"
Mika nodded silently.
Director Kevin laughed out loud, “I heard that the security team of the Fox family is all special forces. If you bring her to the scene, it's better to protect her by yourself."
Mika shook her head, “If it were that simple, I wouldn't have to rely on you guys. Furthermore, this is my grandpa's directive."
Erisen finally spoke up and asked, “Who is this girl? What does she have to do with the Fox family?"
Mika hesitated for a moment and finally replied, "This girl is my younger sister, Natalie Fox."
Daniel frowned. Didn't Ryan Fox - the president of Fox Corporation, have only one son, right? Now, how come there was a daughter named Natalie again? Maybe a stepchild? It was also unlikely that Mika would worry about a stepchild of her father.
Contrary to Daniel's puzzled expression, Kelvin and Erisen took in the information very quickly and showed extremely regretful faces, "Is this Natalie?"
Mika nodded slightly.
Director Kevin, after a moment of silence, continued, "Mika, how do you want us to help?"
Eriksen also nodded and said, “Mika, how do you want us to help?”
Daniel was confused by this scene. The last time he helped Mika catch a smuggled gun gang, he was shot twice in his body. Why, over and over again, did Director Kevin and his father want to push him into such dangerous cases?
Mika looked at Daniel, causing him to suddenly feel so cool. Wouldn't Kevin want him to be a "hostage"?
“This should bother Captain Daniel.”
Daniel forced a smile. Before he could say anything, Eisen quickly agreed with him, "Daniel will definitely help."
He looked at his father and silently resented it. He's his only son after all...
"It's okay, I just want him to protect Natalie for a while."
Daniel sighed. Maybe Mika just needed Natalie's bodyguard.
"If you agree to be Natalie's bodyguard, all the legal documents are prepared by our Fox family, you can immediately sign them."
Daniel almost choked on his tea when he said, “Wait, we just need to prepare a citizen protection file. Why do I have to sign your legal documents?”
Mika shook her head, “It's not that simple. Before, did you know I had a younger sister?"
Daniel suddenly understood. To the outside world, Natalie didn't exist and she could be considered a secret of the Fox family. There was only one possibility for such a secret that someone outside knew.
"Is there a 'spy' within the Fox family?"
Mika nodded, "I still haven't determined who it is, so our house is not safe for Natalie right now. That's why I had to find you. Hopefully, Daniel can pretend to be Natalie's boyfriend and protect her, which won't cause suspicion."
Daniel's father next to him hit him on the back, making him feel like his spine was broken, "Don't ask so many questions, your job is to protect Natalie. The rest is up to their family."
Hearing that, he was silent.
After discussing the details of the plan, Daniel was sent back by Director Kevin and his father. His mission was simply to protect a little girl 24/24. In other words, from now on, he would have a small tail following him. That girl would also be brought to his house this afternoon by the Fox family. Daniel's apartment was just a single apartment with one bedroom and a living room. He offered to move into a double apartment with two bedrooms. Director Kevin immediately glanced at and called him stupid. How could a couple move in and live in a two-bedroom double apartment? Daniel sighed, he thought he must have slept on the sofa for a long time. However, Daniel still wondered what happened before and why his father and Kevin reacted like that.
After returning to his office, Daniel immediately went to Patrick, who was frantically typing a secret text, "Patrick, can you help me?"
Patrick immediately responded. He could do anything, as long as he didn't have to type.
However, after a while of hacking all the police management systems and searching for information, the results were not really positive.
Patrick grabbed his computer, crawled into Daniel's office, and reported the results, "Natalie Fox's information is nothing special, mainly educational information. At the age of three, she was brought to England by her family, and since then, she has always been there. Occasionally, she goes back to the US for a very short period of time.”
Patrick said as he showed Daniel a report.
Daniel took a look at it, “What about personal information? As for medical information, did you find it?"
Patrick shook his head, “No, her parents are both dead on the report. While abroad, she was sponsored by a children's organization. And, there is only a medical certificate at the age of three that I hacked from foreign medical records. I guess it was probably used at the time of entry.”
Daniel nodded and asked Patrick to send it back to him, "Well, what about the case twenty years ago I told you?"
Patrick made a helpless expression, “It's a top-secret file. I can't even enter. I also don't dare to hack into the system of the Intelligence Bureau."
Daniel rubbed his forehead and let Patrick out. However, he thought of something and added, "Can you hide everything you just found, especially the medical certificate? Don't let anyone find out anything about Natalie."
Patrick looked at his captain like an alien. Didn't he just tell him to try to find out? Now, Daniel made him hide them all again. How was this girl named Natalie related to Daniel?
Daniel stared at the medical certificate and frowned. It was said that the Fox family had never appeared as a woman and had no daughter. The women who were once married into the Fox family were either missing or mysteriously dead.
The story of the past was certainly not simple.
