The Honolulu Courthouse is a three-story building in the shape of a U.S. dollar. Its white walls and red roof are in typical tropical plantation style. There are still several tall palm trees preserved in the courtyard in the middle.

The columns on both sides of the courtyard corridor are as thick as a person, and one can see some modified Greek style. Although it is not as magnificent as the 10 Corinthian marble columns in front of the New York Supreme Court, it is also quite local in style.

Just as Danny had arranged over the phone, the HPD officers lined up in front of the courthouse. When they saw the Ford F150 with its police lights flashing suddenly stop in front of the courthouse, they all saluted.

Compared to the mainland, the Hawaiian Islands, as the command center of the US Pacific theater and the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet, are home to more than 6 US soldiers and nearly twice as many military dependents.

It is also a holy place for tourism and recuperation. Coupled with its extremely strict gun control laws, the public security situation is second to none in the United States.

The household gun ownership rate here is less than 10%, and most of them are handguns. The number of gun-related casualties each year is less than . It can be said that Jack's visit here for vacation has single-handedly increased this figure by several percentage points.

Therefore, even a serious crime squad like "Five-O" would not carry "heavy firepower" such as assault rifles in their daily operations. The shotgun in Cheng Hao's hand was the only long gun Jack had seen so far.

Similarly, although the HPD officers stationed around the court were stationed every three steps and every five steps, they were not fully armed. Because the weather was too hot, most of them did not even have bulletproof vests.

Perhaps because of this reason, when the police officers saw the four people getting off the F150, they all had an expression of surprise that was hard to conceal.

Danny and Cheng Hao were relatively normal. Although they were wearing bulletproof vests and were very hot, they did not look embarrassed. But Jack and Julie seemed to be quite eye-catching.

After trekking in the tropical jungle for most of the day, Julie's thin shirt had already turned into rags. If Jack hadn't put a bulletproof vest on her, her private parts would have been exposed by now.

Jack was even more exaggerated. He had rolled in the mud before, and he simply took off his shirt to make it easier to bandage his wound. Now he got out of the car with a bandage wrapped around his waist. His well-defined muscles were particularly conspicuous in the sun. At first glance, he looked like a governor who had just fought with the Iron Man.

The four of them trotted into the courthouse. A beautiful female prosecutor had already been waiting in the corridor. When she saw Julie appear, the tense expression on her face obviously relaxed at once.

However, when her eyes fell on Jack, she was stunned. She opened her mouth and forgot what she wanted to say.

"Prosecutor Roberts?" Cheng Hao obviously knew this female prosecutor and greeted her.

"Ah!" The female prosecutor finally came back to her senses. She withdrew her gaze from Jack with great difficulty and nodded to Julie. "I have spare shoes and clothes in my car. Come with me. We have to get ready."

Julie turned around and hugged Jack, murmuring words of gratitude, "Thank you, Jack, thank you for everything you have done for me, you are my hero."

"Okay, it's okay, it's okay, go change your clothes first, I'll wait outside."

Jack comforted the girl and watched her leave with the female prosecutor. He then found a restroom nearby and took a quick shower.

Both Danny and Cheng Hao were much smaller in figure than Jack. In the end, he had to borrow a spare shirt from the police officer on duty outside to save him from the embarrassment of being stared at from time to time.

Danny patted Jack's shoulder with emotion, "It's really unexpected that the guy who was as thin as a wooden pole actually..."

Before he could finish his sigh, Cheng Hao's cell phone rang, interrupting his next words. Kono's anxious voice could be heard by the two people next to him even without turning on the speakerphone.

"The facial recognition process has yielded results. The scavenger is an assistant attorney in Alan Brenner's legal team. She is a blonde woman, 170 feet inches ( cm). She should be inside the courthouse now."

"Shit!" The three of them were shocked at the same time, and saw horror in each other's eyes.

"I'll search along the corridor, and you go to the prosecutor's office and the court, and notify the police outside." Jack turned and rushed in the direction where Julie and the prosecutor left not long ago.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the size of the court. In addition, this was not the court in New York or Los Angeles that he was familiar with. He ran around the second floor and asked several staff members, but he could not find out where Julie and the prosecutor were.

Just when Jack was getting anxious, Kono, who had just arrived, appeared at the stairs and called out to him loudly, "Jack, here!"

At this time, in the southeast corner of the court, Prosecutor Roberts and Julie, who had just changed into a clean formal suit, were led into a conference room. A blonde woman holding a memo gestured to them with a fake smile.

"Where is the chief defense lawyer you mentioned? What kind of plea bargain are you planning to propose?" The female prosecutor looked at the woman with a strange smile with a puzzled look on her face.

This woman had been working as an assistant attorney in Alan Brenner's defense team. Just now, when she was taking Julie to the court waiting area, she stopped the two of them and said that her client intended to plead guilty and provide a list of names.

The female prosecutor did not suspect anything and after a brief discussion with Julie, she decided to listen to the specific conditions proposed by the other party first.

Aaron Brenner is currently involved in more than one case. No matter what conditions they offer, as long as they can send him to prison first, there are still two felony murder cases involving HPD police officers and attempted murder charges against federal agents waiting for them.

But at the moment, if the other party could voluntarily give out the names of some leaders of the Baha drug cartel, it would be an unexpected gain, so the female prosecutor readily accepted the other party's proposal.

The female assistant lawyer said that the chief defense lawyer was waiting for them in the conference room, but when they entered the room, it was empty. Before the female prosecutor realized that something was wrong, Julie had already frowned subconsciously.

"Wait a moment, he will be here soon." The blonde woman put the file in her hand on the table. With the help of the table as cover, she pulled up her suit skirt sideways, pulled out a silenced pistol from her legs and pointed it at the two men.

At this critical moment, accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, Kono and Jack finally arrived in time.

Kono, who was rushing in front, grabbed the woman's right hand holding the gun and twisted her pistol away. Jack, who was following behind, stopped suddenly and put the half-pulled pistol back in.

Because there was nothing he could do at the moment, Jack kicked the pistol that fell on the ground away and took several steps back to make enough space.

The two women were already wrestling with each other. The blonde woman was no match at all. It seemed that apart from knowing how to use a gun, she had not received any systematic fighting training. She just started scratching the face and pinching the neck.

On the other hand, although Kono was a little thin, he had obviously undergone formal police academy training. He used every move very skillfully and easily suppressed his opponent.

When Danny and Cheng Hao hurried over, they just saw Kono kick the blonde woman to the ground with a beautiful side kick.
