On the other hand, the commissioner who was about to step down suddenly seemed to be "fully devoted" to his work.
He sent his "sympathies" and "kindly" asked Dustin to solve the case as soon as possible.
Listening to the man's tone, Dustin felt that "as soon as possible" probably meant "today."
Until now, the Detective Bureau hadn't received any assistance. Instead, they were beset with all sorts of pressure.
What was even more outrageous was that the commissioner, the Chief of Police, and the Director of the Investigation Bureau, who was Dustin's immediate superior, all demanded that the Detective Bureau share their information.
The commissioner wanted him to give the FBI the green light, the Chief of Police wanted him to cooperate with Homeland Security, and the Director of HQ's Investigation Bureau wanted him to help the anti-terrorist unit in the same department.
