At the door, Rose first took out a file with information on the community. ”There is only one person living in this house. My colleague checked this detail, and confirmed that the resident is a male that tends to stay indoors. Nothing seems to be a problem.”

”Which colleague came here? Tell him to come over.” Li Du said as he knocked on the door.

Rose said in surprise. ”What?”

”There is something wrong with this house.” Li Du continued knocking.

Rose’s body shuddered slightly. She suppressed her agitated emotions and asked, ”Are you sure? You haven’t even opened the door to see what’s inside.”

Li Du asked, ”With such a wide gap in between the floor and the door, do you really think that I can’t see what’s inside?”

His increasingly rapid knocking finally alerted the three people on the second floor. The young white man threw away his cigarette butt calmly and opened a small, metal door leading to the attic. The two black males then crawled in.

Rose said some words into her radio, and a white lady with a fit build came rushing over.

When Rose was about to say something to her, the door was flung open. The white young man walked out, so Rose had to keep silent.

Seeing the trio, the white young man asked with a surprised expression, ”Ms. Alison? Is there anything else?”

The fit, white female cop, Alison, smiled slightly and said, ”Haha—it’s like this, Mr. Robert…”

Li Du pushed the white young man into the house and rudely interrupted Alison. ”Mr. Robert, right? See this cat? It’s a sniffer cat. Sorry, but it has smelled a heavy amount of marijuana from outside this house. You will need to explain yourself.”

Alison’s jaw was opened wider than the width of her large fist.

Li Du was sure that the three had been smoking marijuana. He had seen those paper rolls in Flagstaff when he had first arrived.

Arizona state, which Flagstaff was located in, had not completely legalized marijuana. They had just approved medical use of marijuana in 2011, permitting special privileges to residents who had the prescription from doctors.

According to the state law, if anyone was caught smoking or possessing marijuana by the police, they could be sentenced to prison anywhere from three months to thirteen years.

However, cops wouldn’t normally enter a household just to search for marijuana. Arizona had a positive attitude toward legalizing marijuana, and the government was pushing toward legalizing marijuana for entertainment use.

But as the voting had not begun, the original laws were still in place.

The white young man, Robert, was shocked, and hastily denied this. ”No, no. We didn’t smoke any marijuana!”

”We?” Li Du asked. ”How many people are in here?’

He had grasped a very lethal verbal slip, but Robert seemed to be calm. He gave an embarrassed smile that looked natural and said, ”I’m used to using ‘we’ when talking about myself. This is due to my habit—”

Li Du said, ”Sorry, we don’t care about your private issues. Now we need to perform a search of your house with this sniffer cat.”

Robert retreated to the living room and showed a resigned expression. ”Of course, yeah. Sure. But we will need to see a search warrant.”

Li Du was just about to speak, when from the floor above, at the top of the staircase, a rifle barrel suddenly stuck out!

The appearance of the barrel was sudden. Rose immediately pushed Li Du and Alison to the floor and shouted, ”Careful!”

Bang! The gun sounded like a firework, and the wooden floor of the house had a huge hole in it.

Robert cussed ”sh*t” and ran upstairs.

Now, even a fool would know something was amiss. Alison hastily took out her radio and shouted, ”Command, command! This is… This is…”

”Number 25! This is d*mn apartment number 25!” Rose bellowed while swiftly taking out a black Glock from her purse.

”We are at apartment number 25, and two officers are under gunfire!” Allison continued shouting into her radio. ”The thieves are likely hiding here! Requesting backup! Requesting backup!”

Robert’s shouts came from upstairs. ”Scar, you idiot! Why the h*ll did you shoot!?”

”Shut it, whitey! The cops are already at the door, and you really think that they’re here to search for some d*mn marijuana? Quick, get rid of them and run!”
