<h4>Chapter 507 An Unwilling Group</h4>


    "_"


    Hardy and Shalom give each other a tactful stare, understanding they had the same call.


    And now, people from the SN department are here?


    This …


    Although a part of them were unwilling to hand over the case after all the work they had put in, they still couldn''t deny these people ess.


    Sure, they haven''t really found any clues or links yet, but don''t you think the energy and sleepiness nights they put into the case were still work?


    Although the duo hadn''t exined the new turn of events to their team, how could these people not understand when they heard all the screaming on the other end of the phone?


    Hardy and Shalom''s phones weren''t on speaker, yet they could hear all that was told to them.


    Their superiors were yelling and giving warnings, swearing to kill the duo if they dared act otherwise.


    Bam!


    Officer Jones'' fist mmed the table passionately. "Sir, this isn''t fair! Why should we hand over the case when we are this close to finding the perp? I can feel sir, I can!"


    Detective Martinz nodded. "Yes, sir. With the directions you gave us just now, I feel we will be able to catch that bastard within a few days!"


    So why should they give their blood sweat and tears to others just like that?


    Do you know the meaning of Handing Over?


    This means that any spection, hint, clue, and evidence will be handed over.


    In other words, everything they had just discussed here must be told and given to those taking over.


    When the perp is captured, although some credit will go to them, the credit would be very small.


    Most of the glory will go to the newly formed SN Department.


    They will be the ones standing on TV, looking like big shots.


    They will be the ones to hug all the glory.


    Everyone felt that given 3 more days, they would be able to not only catch the perp but also find his poison sources too


    They all felt it!


    For the first time, they felt a true breakthrough since the case touched their fingertips.


    And now you just want them to let it go and focus on another case while this one is still fresh in their minds?


    Everyone felt they couldn''t.


    Even if Hardy and Shalom told them to work on other cases, they knew themselves too well.


    They will probably work on another case on the surface while secretly focusing on the other case, trying to find clues for themselves.


    They knew the drill.


    Many times, if they''re pulled off a big case the next project wouldn''t necessarily be a case, but a project that required them to go through heaps and heaps of paperwork.


    Sometimes, they might have to do menial cases like missing cats and cases like those.


    Many times, they would have to sit in the office, taking down walk-in case reports from civilians who entered the police station.


    In truth, their superiors would prefer they don''t go out of the station, preferring they not go out snooping for the perps involved in the cases they are pulled out from.


    It''s best they stay where they are seen, staying away from the case altogether.


    But who are police officers?


    They are people who understand the rules all too well.


    During lunch breaks and even during any little time given to them, they would do the snooping until they proved their hunch was right.


    Many times, doing this was dangerous but the sleepiness they would have wasn''t doing much to put their minds at ease.


    Huh.


    Want them to stay away from this case? No way!


    (*x*)


    .


    Everyone stared at the duo with stubborn eyes that told their thoughts.


    None of this was fair, so how can they be willing?


    "Who are these SN people anyway? Why them?"


    "Yeah. We admit this case is indeed a little strange. But does it mean that every strange phenomenon we experience needs their input?"


    Hardy and Shalom looked between their roaring team and the ss walls that showed a group of people stepping into the territory.


    These people had deep blue-ck school-themed uniforms that looked sleek and gave them a mysterious edge.


    Was that them?


    Why were they all so good-looking? Even from the ss, he could see the super bounce and youthfulness they all had.


    In truth, some people were around 45 in the group.


    But because of staying in the academy, their appearance now looked 34 and their hair which was once thinning now grew luscious and full like a lion''s mane.


    Every day after practicing, they noticed their bodies slowly revert to their youthful times.


    What''s going on?


    In all their lives, they had never seen people walk so elegantly, with grace and poise.


    It was as though these people popped out of the paintings.


    Their backs were so straight up and their movements were fluid like water.


    Can it be that only handsome and beautiful people can get epted into this SN department?


    Was that the criteria here?


    .


    Without knowing it, Hardy and Shalom started moving forward while calling their rowdy group.


    "You all shut up and don''t embarrass me!"


    No matter how unwilling they were, everyone had to follow orders!


    Even they had to do the same.


    What?


    Do you think they were not unwilling?


    Of course, they were!


    The feeling was akin to someone preparing ingredients and reaching the final step to bake a cake, only to have the uncooked dough in the baking tray taken from them.


    No doubt those who take the dough will now put it in the oven and wait for it to bake.


    No one likes the feeling.


    But what can they do?


    Looking at the SN group stepping into the room, everyone tried their best to hide their unwillingness, but they just couldn''t do it.


    The atmosphere was tense and heated, despite there being an awkward silence.


    Dorian raised his brow yfully but said nothing.


    Rather, it was Chan-ki who spoke.


    "Gentlemen,dies… have we caught you all off at a bad time?"
