24.14 If there is an elderly person in the family, if there is a treasure
Daniel, Henry, Du Ping, and Susan had a long meeting, but everyone still felt that it was very tricky and there was nothing they could do. At this time, Susan suddenly thought of something and looked at everyone.
Susan smiled mysteriously, "We have a professional! an expert." ”
Henry thought that Susan's professional and expert was Director Frank, so he disavowed Susan's opinion in frustration, "Director Frank may not be good to be involved in this matter." Probably the internal security department or some people are watching him make mistakes!"
Susan smiled mysteriously, "I mean an older expert!"
Daniel suddenly realized, "Grandpa, old Regan." ”
Susan smiled and nodded, affirming Daniel's answer. So everyone thought of something at the same time: Reagan Sr., the former chief of the New York City Police Department, is also a very cunning guy in political evaluation. Although he is old, retired, and seems to be old and confused, the real Reagan family knows that behind this old fool, he is still a cunning old thing with very life experience.
"It's a good idea. ”
Henry, "That's a great idea. ”
Daniel, "That's a great idea. ”
…………………………
In the living room of Regan's house, old Regan, who was sleeping a little dazed, was woken up by a few people in the eyes.
Grandpa, "Susan, Daniel, Du, Henry?"
Old Reagan counted the people in front of him one by one, and then turned to the dining room and asked.
Grandpa, "Linda, what day is it? Is there any gathering in our family? Is it Friday again?"
Susan, "Grandpa, we have something to ask you!"
Grandpa, "Have something to ask me?"
Susan, "Yes, very serious problem. We don't know what to do, and we would like to ask you. ”
Old Reagan immediately glared angrily at Du Fair.
Grandpa, "Do you have a girlfriend again?" or a junior?"
Susan, "Grandpa! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Grandpa, "(confused) Isn't that so?"
Susan, "No!"
Grandpa, "What else will happen to you, good granddaughter? Are you having children again?"
Old Regan immediately sat up happily.
Grandpa, "Good granddaughter, this is a good thing, don't be afraid!
Susan angrily shoved Daniel to the front.
Susan, "I don't have anything!
Old Regan was angry again.
Grandpa, "Did you hook up with any dancing girls again? I told you, you're married! The Reagan family has never had such a thing since they got married!"
Daniel, "Grandpa, it's not this!"
It took a long time for several people to get things clear to old Regan, and in the long process, several even had serious doubts about the correctness of Susan's proposal.
Grandpa, "I see. ”
Old Regan finally understood what was going on and began to think.
Grandpa, "Judging from what you've been told, the biggest danger comes from Daniel, not the redhead. If the redhead's case was an unknown bomb that didn't know when it would explode, Daniel's case was the kind of bomb that was set by someone else. Of course, we can also follow the example of our opponent and ask Frank to directly change the person in charge of the case. But this is by no means the best option! There is an unspoken rule that has existed in the police force for a long time, and that is to directly intervene at the grassroots level. Our opponents, since they have chosen this step, according to the rules of the game, as long as we can successfully pass the exam, they will leave the police force. Because they chose to directly intervene at the grassroots, our success is their failure. It was a big gamble on their part. ”
Daniel, "It's not easy to solve. ”
"Of course, they wouldn't have decided to take this gamble." ”
Daniel, "What should we do?"
Grandpa, "First of all, we have to take the initiative, that is, we have to figure things out. Who is the woman in this wall? Who is the person who might choose her life? What is the situation of this murderer? Then, we dare to say that this matter can be done and the exam can be passed. ”
Du Pingping, "You are suggesting that this matter should be investigated together?"
Grandpa looked at Du Pingping, "We just have that condition, don't we?" And I'm sure you don't know, we actually know more than they thought we knew. This is actually a big initiative. At worst, we can also choose to use Frank's direct intervention at the grassroots level. It's just that if this method is played, we will weaken others by one game. The best thing to do is to do it yourself and then force others out. So that everyone will be convinced. ”
Several people began to consider the elder Reagan's suggestion at the same time. Susan looked at Du Fair.
"I don't have a problem! I can quietly investigate." ”
Daniel and Henry looked at each other.
Daniel, "We can also play fools and headless flies." ”
Old Reagan stood up excitedly and poured a glass of whiskey for each one.
Grandpa, "Alright, let's go and fight off anyone who intends to challenge!"
Susan, "Don't you need to say a word to Frank?"
Grandpa, "I'll tell him he'll be watched at the police station." Our opponent, as you have analyzed before, is waiting for him to make a mistake. And we've got it. ”
Daniel and Henry pushed the wine back, "We're still on duty." ”
Grandpa, "What a disappointment!"
Old Reagan looked expectantly at Du Fair, who looked at the wine and replied helplessly, "I don't care." ”
Grandpa, "Cheers, then!"
Old Reagan took his own cup and touched the cups of Du Ping and Susan one by one, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he fell asleep on the couch again, as if he had returned to that old foolish situation. Several people looked at each other helplessly, and then nodded affirmatively to each other.
…………………………
In Du Fair's dormitory, the doorbell rang, DeLand opened the door, and Mary and Lucy walked in.
Lucy looked at Delan with interest, especially the dog chain around Delan's neck.
Lucy, "I didn't expect you to have such a hobby! To be honest, I don't care. ”
After Du Pingping instructed Delan to prepare tea for them, he looked at the two seriously.
"You won't want to hear her story." You don't know how cruel it will be if humans are cruel to humans!"
Lucy, "I like people being cruel to me!
Annoyed, Du Ping picked up a photo album from his bookshelf and threw it in front of Lucy.
"Look at it! She's just a survivor and a victim of this incident. I only took her in temporarily. ”
Lucy opened the photo album with a smile as if she didn't care, and then her face became ugly, but she continued to look at it with a vindictive spirit, and then she couldn't help but cover her small mouth and rushed to the bathroom inside. Mary smiled and looked at the album on the coffee table from a distance, not ready to look through it.
After a while, Lucy rushed back angrily.
Lucy, "You pervert, you deliberately put out these pictures to disgust me!"
"I'm not that boring. Last month's doomsday cult case, you know? I was involved in this case, and this is part of the information I left behind. I can seriously tell you that the scene is even more terrifying than this!"
Delan had already come to a few people with tea and placed them at the table one by one.
Du Ping glanced at Deran, "Do you know why she became like this? Those people drove a steel cone into her brain, cutting the connection tissue of the prefrontal integument. Then man becomes an obedient eater for nothing. In this way, they made sex slaves for more than 100 people, and gave them to big merchants, high-ranking officials, or sold them. So, you don't even know how terrible people can be!"
Lucy stood on the spot, looking at Delan at a loss. Mary walked over and put her arms around her.
Mary, "Lucy, don't be afraid!"
As if to confirm Mary's words, Lucy began to tremble in Mary's arms, and tears began to flow. Mary looked up at Du Fair.
Mary, "Lucy was wrong! I apologize to you on her behalf." ”
Du Ping looked at Lucy, who was trembling in Mary's arms, and nodded.
Mary, "We're glad you can reach us again. ”
"To be honest, I still haven't forgiven you. ”
Lucy, "Then what are you going to do to forgive us!"
Lucy stood up from Mary's arms with tears in her eyes.
Lucy, "Although we are high-ranking call girls, we also have the right to like others! Mary likes you, I have fulfilled her, what is wrong with us!"
Mary went to pull Lucy, but Lucy shook off Mary's hand and stood stubbornly in front of Du Pingping, looking directly at Du Pingping without showing weakness.
Du Ping sighed, "Okay, I'll do my best to help you." ”
Mary, "Thank you!"
Lucy sat back down in her place as if it were a matter of course, and then quickly closed the album in front of her, and let it go far away from her.
"Escape is not the way. And history tells us that it can be very dangerous. So, I want to know what kind of things you have in your hands that can lead to your being killed if you wash your hands. ”
Mary, "There's no problem with that. ”
"I want to know what you know about the girl you talked about this time? I'm curious about why she was killed, or what kind of deadly thing she might have in her hands." How she was killed. Someone killed her. Whether her property was hidden by her, or was it robbed? A case that has already occurred can help us understand what you may face in the future. ”
Mary thought for a moment, "We'll find a way to inquire for you!"
"Pay attention to your own safety!"
Mary smiled sweetly, "We will." ”
"At the police, two detectives I am familiar with have officially taken over the case. What I want to tell you is, don't be reckless, we can go to the police if necessary. ”
Lucy interjected with a smile, "Are you caring about us?"
Du Ping ignored Lucy and continued to look at Mary, "We have to prepare very carefully before we can plan your escape plan." ”
Mary, "Thank you!"
…………………………
In Regan's restaurant, only the elder Regan, Frank, and Linda were sitting. Old Reagan is no longer the old fool who was always drunk all day. After Old Reagan had already explained to Frank the situation and everyone's analysis from Du Ping, Frank also frowned.
Frank, "Factional fighting within the police?"
Grandpa, "There's a new election for the mayor soon, right?"
Frank, "Yes. ”
Isn't it normal for the police chief, who is an important part of the current mayor's team, to be spied on?"
Frank, "Yes, that's normal. But Daniel, Du Ping, can they really do it? I myself feel very troublesome and dangerous. ”
"Although our opponents already think they have the initiative, in fact, we know that I am far more than they think. In this case, do you think it could be a friend of theirs or rather, that they recognized the girl in the wall? That's why they think it's a good opportunity and a trap. You see, we know a lot more than they think! As long as we do it well, we are the superior party. Why not fight a battle that is sure to be won? Now, we're just giving them a little pride! It's like giving a pet a little dessert. ”
Frank, "Are you too optimistic! These are just your guesses, we don't have any evidence." ”
Grandpa, "What are we?" The most difficult thing to solve a case is never the evidence, but the right direction! We already have the right direction, and the evidence will appear. ”
Frank thought for a moment and nodded with a smile.
Frank, "You're right. ”
…………………………
An upscale Gallic restaurant full of women in gowns and successful men in suits. Daniel and Henry, who are out of place here, are preparing to break into this obviously very high and unintended restaurant. It's just that the conscientious and responsible foreman and security guard here have steadfastly stopped them at the door.
Although Daniel and Henry did not come with a search warrant from the court, what conflicts or conflicts with front-line police detectives like Daniel were also something that the manager wanted to face. So after a friendly and goodwill exchange, the foreman went back to ask the manager, while Daniel and Henry began to wait for a short time in the lounge sofa in the foyer.
Henry, "What are we doing here?"
Daniel, "I came to find a witness, a witness who recognized the body. ”
Henry, "Didn't you say that we should play fools, and we wouldn't work so aggressively, would we?"
Daniel, "With our ability, if we don't get anything in a few days, will people believe it? So, there has to be some progress, and we're in full swing here in order to attract the attention of a wide range of people." Just like in a war, only the better we fight here, the smoother it will be for Du Ping. ”
Henry, "I kind of get it. Or Daniel, you have a good brain, worthy of the family of two police chiefs in a row. ”
Daniel gave Henry a powerful hug, "Anyway, we're all brothers, right?"
Henry, "Yes, brother!"
Daniel had already seen that the foreman had returned with the manager, and made a stop gesture to Henry. I walked over there. The manager here came over and hugged warmly and had a courtesy hug between Daniel of the same sex.
Manager, "Daniel, long time no see!"
Daniel, "yes, long time no see. ”
Manager, "Looking for me?"
Daniel, "Yes, would like to ask you a favor." ”
Manager, "It's okay, if there's anything, please just say it." ”
Daniel, "I'm looking for a couple of high-level call girls to intermediate. ”
The manager's face was embarrassed, "These people are very troublesome! You're going to get yourself in trouble with them. ”
Daniel, "I'm in trouble right now! So, if you really know of those people, please let me know." ”
After a brief moment's thought, the manager replied seriously, "I can tell you a few people I know." But, trust me! Daniel, your methods against ordinary street hooligans are useless! ”
Daniel, "Well, I'll seriously consider your suggestion." Please let me know!"
Manager, "Okay!"
The manager pulled Daniel and began to return to his office.
…………………………
In Du Fair's dormitory, Du Fair was sorting out the materials that Mary and Lucy had left for him, when his phone suddenly vibrated and he received a text message. When he opened it, he saw that it was a text message from Mary, with only one person's name on it. Du smiled, manipulated his phone, and forwarded the text message to Daniel.
In the restaurant manager's office, Henry is recording the names and details of one person after another introduced by the manager. Daniel's phone suddenly vibrated and a text message was received. Daniel looked down and found that it was Du Ping's text message, and immediately clicked on it, and found that there was only one person's name inside. Manipulate the phone, delete text messages.
Daniel walked up to Henry and quickly found a name he was looking for. So I pointed to the name and asked the manager very naturally.
Daniel, "Do you know this guy?"
The manager looked at the name Daniel was referring to and nodded.
Manager, "I know this guy. ”
Daniel, "Alright, let's start with him!"
Manager, "Start with him?"
Daniel, "Questions?"
"He's a guy with a background, and he thinks a lot of big guys!" I suggest you better not provoke him yet." ”
Daniel, "That's it! I still like this kind of hard role." ”
Manager, "Okay then, but don't tell anyone, I said that." ”
Daniel, "Don't worry! You still can't trust me, Daniel?"
Manager, "I don't want to get in trouble. ”
Daniel, "Don't worry, you won't be in any trouble." ”
