Chapter 2: Partner Sean
"Officer Lin, this is Officer Sean Cornwally, and you'll be working with him during your time in the United States!"
The Kanno Police Department introduced Lin Shuichi in fluent English. Lin Xiuyi looked at the white police officer standing in front of him, about thirty years old, although he was wearing a suit, he was not wearing a tie. There are some less noticeable smudges on the collar and cuffs of the shirt.
Lin Xiuyi stretched out his hand to shake Shaun's hand, and Lin Xiuyi noticed that Sean had traces of a ring on his index finger, but he didn't have a ring, which was a bit intriguing.
Lin Xiuyi's English is not good, so he speaks very slowly, and Lin Xiuyi can understand about eighty percent of the conversation between Sean and the Kanno Police Department. However, simple communication Lin Xiuyi can still do it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I hope we can get along happily in the next six months!" Sean said with a smile as he shook Lin Xiuyi's hand.
After the Kanno Police Department handed Lin Shuichi over to the FBI, he took his leave and left. Lin Xiuyi, under the leadership of Sean, first received some office supplies, including telephones and computers, and after doing these things, it was almost noon.
Lunch is not as valued in the West as it is in the East, because dinner is the main meal for Westerners, and everyone's lunch here is basically sandwiches and coffee and the like, and some even women only eat vegetable salad for lunch!
Lin Xiuyi shook his head secretly, he was just about to go downstairs to buy a hamburger to satisfy his hunger, but he was stopped by Sean.
"Hey, man, where are you going?"
"I want to go out and see what I have to eat?" Lin Xiuyi quickly replied.
"What, you didn't bring lunch?" anyway, we have to go to the police station in the afternoon, so why don't we go out for a cup of coffee together now!" Sean patted Lin Xiuyi on the shoulder and said.
"It's all up to you!" Lin Xiuyi said with a smile.
Lin Xiuyi put on his things and followed Sean out of the precinct. The two drove to the Seattle North Precinct Police Department. On the way, Sean told Lin Xiuyi that he had a company there, and he stayed there on weekdays.
"Actually, I prefer the office in the police station, all the equipment is brand new, including a 65-inch HDTV, all of which are paid for by ......the government," Sean proudly showed off to Lin Xiuyi.
"What are we going to do at the police station?" Lin Xiuyi asked curiously.
"It's nothing, the main thing is that there are some cases that the police department in the northern jurisdiction needs to coordinate with us, after all, our criminal investigation technology is much better than that of the police, although we belong to a different system from the police, but we can give the police some guidance on investigation. Sean introduced to Lin Xiuyi.
The two stopped on the road halfway to buy two cups of coffee and a sandwich, brought them to the car, and went all the way to the North District Police Station.
Sean drove the car directly into the underground garage of the North Precinct Police Station, and then took the elevator with Lin Xiuyi to the office on the third floor. Although the office is located on the street, it is well soundproofed. Basically no noise outside. There is a large desk, a row of bookcases, a sofa and a huge TV. It can be seen that this police station is newly built and all the equipment is brand new. The conditions here are indeed much better than those of the precinct.
"Well, it's good here! If you don't have an opinion, stay here for a few days, I have some files here that you need you to help me sort out!" Sean said as he opened a filing cabinet, which was full of case files.
"What kind of cases are these?" Lin Xiuyi asked with some surprise.
"It's all transferred to the Seattle FBI branch by the North District Police Department, and I haven't had time to hand it over yet, I haven't been able to take care of it too much recently, so you just happened to be here, you can help me deal with the work here." You can use everything here, you're from the FBI, and no one can control you here......"
Sean diligently introduced to Lin Xiuyi, and Lin Xiu understood Sean's mind at once, although they said that they were working together, Sean obviously wanted to put himself in the office to deal with the paperwork for him.
"What do you want me to do?" Lin Xiuyi said businesslikely.
"Don't get me wrong, man, I think you should familiarize yourself with our work first, take your time, don't worry! Start with these cases first, and help me sort out these case files. It's better to go through a catalog or something......" Sean explained to Lin Xiuyi.
Lin Xiu thought about it, anyway, he just arrived in the United States, and he really couldn't do anything. Although Sean is suspected of using himself as a free laborer, it does have a certain amount of truth, Lin Xiuyi also wants to see how the police in the United States handle the case, and now the police station in the North District is outside. Lin Xiuyi can observe how the police here work up close.
"Okay!Just leave this place to me!" Lin Xiuyi said happily.
"Man, you're a smart man, so work hard here, I've got other cases on my hands......"
After Sean finished speaking, he said goodbye to Lin Xiuyi, and he left Lin Xiuyi in this office. Lin Xiuyi looked at the hundreds of case files in the cabinet. Taking a deep breath, he simply took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves.
"Matthews Beach Robbery!"
"Leston apartment arson!"
"Reschi Community Burglary Rape Case!"
……
Looking at the dossier, Lin Xiuyi quickly forgot the time. Behind every case lies a tragedy. But what is even more tragic is that these cases are unsolved cases.
"I've seen too much of this kind of thing, and I really can't stand it!"
Lin Xiu looked at the time, and he was almost ready to go back.
After walking out of the office, he met several detectives in police uniforms along the way, none of whom had ever seen Lin Xiuyi, so they naturally felt strange to him, but the FBI logo on Lin Xiuyi's badge explained his identity well.
After walking out of the police station in the northern district, Lin Xiuyi breathed in the cool air outside, took out his mobile phone to look at the way home.
"It's really inconvenient not to have a car, it seems that you have to get your driver's license certified in the United States as soon as possible, and then go and rent a car!"
Lin Xiuyi mentally planned, called a taxi casually, and after he said the address, the driver drove in the direction of his house.
After arriving at the door of the house, Lin Xiuyi thought about it for a while, but still didn't plan to go home immediately, but planned to take a stroll outside, and read the case file of the murder and fire prevention for a day in the office today. Now Lin Xiuyi's mind is full of these contents.
"Sir, have you ever seen this girl? Her name is Natalie, she is about this tall, and she wears a brown T-shirt and jeans......
Just as Lin Xiuyi was looking at the information of the restaurants around him, someone suddenly handed him a flyer with a photo.
