Chapter 80: Declaring War (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Sean, that guy has been recruited!" O'Sullivan turned his head in Sean's direction and said in a loud voice: "And there are some useful things, you must be interested!".
"Is it about the Thumb Killer?" asked Sean.
"Yes!" O'Sullivan said, "Don't you want to see it?"
Hearing this, Sean put down the information in his hand and walked over.
O'Sullivan's expression was a little excited at this time, and he said: "Sean, he did it!" And this guy is a bit perverted, do you know why he killed Karanka? It's because Karanka is so good to him that he thinks he can't pay off this debt of affection, so he ......" He wiped his neck with his hand and made a "whoosh" sound.
"Where did he hide the body?γγ Sean crossed his waist and asked: At this time, Deputy Sheriff Miller handed the transcript in his hand to Sean.
O'Sullivan continued to explain next to him: "Hiding in the basement of my house. I've called someone to search. I believe it won't take long to find it. He also said that it was the Thumbkiller who taught him this qiΔ. βγ
Bite!
Black detective system, release mission "Left Thumb Case" has been completed, reward 40 experience points, 40 justice points!
Sean put down the transcript in his hand with a "smile" and said, "I hope the Nose Gang guys won't be smoky by the smell of corpses?γ......!
"Yes!" O'Sullivan said, "I also asked him how Thumbkiller taught him, but he just confessed himself." The rest hasn't been said yet, but his willpower is already very low, and he will say it sooner or later if we use fatigue tactics!"
"Finally there is some good news!" Miller said, "O'Sullivan can close the case after you ask about the situation, you can contact the district attorney first, so that he is ready to prosecute him when the time comes!"
"Yes sir!" O'Sullivan turned around and went about his own business.
"Sean, the thumb killer, we still have no clue. Miller said, "I'd like to apply for a task force to put you in charge of this case, how about it?"
"What about the other cases?" said Sean.
"Don't worry!" Miller said, "I'll follow!"
"Then I agree!" said Sean.
"Okay!" Miller said, "Go ahead, I'll tell you when there's news!"
Sean nodded and returned to his desk, looking through the Thumbkiller file again, this was the second time he had seen the general situation in his mind.
Looking at it, Sean saw something wrong in the third case committed by the Thumb Killer.
Although the steps in the third case are similar to the rest of the cases, for example, only a finger was found, and after fingerprint comparison, the missing person was found and so on.
But when police questioned his wife, Mary, the woman was messing around with another man in her home.
Mary claimed that the man was her boss, and in a follow-up investigation, the police also investigated the man, who had been on a flight that day and had been in the UK for a month before flying back to Sacramento in the morning.
And this wife, named Mary, is recognized by the neighbors as the best choice for "shrew". But after the police investigation, it was found that she did not kill her brother-in-law Carl.
There seems to be nothing wrong with one qiΔ, but Sean feels that this case is somewhat similar to Neuville's case in some way, and it is not necessarily the Thumbkiller himself.
Of course, he is not a "stream of consciousness" who does things by feeling.
Because from the wife's interrogation transcript and the man's transcript and the neighbor's visit and investigation, the above information has some obscure meanings: it is not that the wife and the neighbors are deliberately hiding anything from the police, but all these things are combined, giving Sean this "obscure" feeling.
The detective who handled the case at that time seemed to feel something, but in the end, he didn't find the body!
When there are no clues in the case, a good detective must first fully mobilize his imagination, which is not out of thin air. It's hypothesis, all kinds of assumptions, all kinds of possibilities, even a little bit of an incredible assumption.
Then carefully verify to refute each of your assumptions, and the remaining one is likely to be close to the truth. At this time, as long as you do detailed forensic work around this, you may find heavy clues, or some clues.
There are fourteen of these cases done by the Thumb Killer, and the sixth case also caught Sean's attention when he first looked at this file, and the first thing he noticed was this sixth case, because in this case, the owner of the discarded thumb has not yet found out who it is.
"Sean!" After Miller came back from applying to complete the task force of the task force, he saw that Sean was very engrossed in reading the file, so he sat down opposite Sean's desk and said, "The task force has been established! I am in charge of the establishment of the task force, and the above has agreed, how about it? Seeing that you are so serious, what have you discovered?"
Sean shook his head and said, "It's not clear, but I'll investigate this woman named Mary first!".
"Mary?" asked Miller.
"That pretty, shrewd wife in the third case!". Sean said.
"He's got a leg up with his boss!" Miller remembered.
"That's her!" Sean said, "who are the members?"
"You're the only one who has been determined!"
Miller said, "Who do you want?".
"O'Sullivan, Parma. Sean said: "It's enough to have the two of them, as for the forensic doctor or forensic experts, let's talk about what they find!"
"No problem!" Miller said, "Just tell me if you have any difficulties." Also, you'll have to go to the director's office once. βγ
Sean remembered that what Eastwood said to him last night was probably a real reporter's interview.
When he arrived at the director's office, Eastwood was "tinkering" with cigarettes, and it was correct to say that he was smoking a cigar.
After sitting down, Eastwood said, "Miller applied for a task force in the Thumb Killer case, and you're in charge!"
Lou knows. Sir!" Sean said.
"There's a press conference at noon, you're in a good suit, you can attend!".
Eastwood said.
"What is it about, sir?" asked Sean.
"Yesterday's shootout!" Eastwood said, "Be careful, don't fall into the trap of those reporters, there are some things you can't reveal!".
"I understand!" Sean took out a noble brand cigarette from his pocket and lit it, puffing out a puff of smoke and saying, "Sir, we succeeded?".
"Did you see the news last night that Los Angeles was burned?" Eastwood said.
"No, sir." Sean said.
"That's a success!" Eastwood said, "They found the nuclear bomb, but a few of the key people in it ran away and haven't caught it yet!"
Hearing Eastwood say this, Sean thought to himself, no wonder the system did not prompt the "Nuclear Crisis" mission to be completed......
Sean studied the file all morning, and then arrived at the director's office, and it was almost noon.
Eastwood walked out from behind his desk and said, "It's time, come with me to the city bureau to meet those reporters!"
The City Bureau, or the General Office, is right in the heart of the city of Sacramento, adjacent to the state and city governments. The road is very wide. After a while, Sean took the director's car and came to the main headquarters.
Sean still remembers that the last time he came here, it was because he caught a guy who was robbing the street inside, and then he was transferred to the substation as a patrol officer by his immediate boss.
Think about it now, the pig-headed captain was prosecuted for a bribery scandal, I heard that he was sentenced to seven years by the judge, and although he is still in the substation, he has been promoted to the rank of police officer again, maybe this is the so-called feng shui rotation.
on the public lawn in front of the city office. A large group of reporters holding microphones, cameras and other objects lined up in several columns like an army, aiming their "weapons" at a "main" table in front of them.
Director Dawson, standing in the middle of the main podium at this time, published a manuscript about yesterday's shootout.
On this "main" podium, there were several people standing, including Dawson's secretary, press officer, deputy director, and several sub-chiefs. And Sean, who was only a police officer-level agent, stood beside Eastwood, only to the side.
"As for yesterday's mosque hijacking, it has now been satisfactorily resolved by our side!" Director Dawson said in a calm tone: "A total of ninety-one hostages were rescued, and armed bandits were killed, thirty-two!"
He speaks rhythmically, with a small pause between each sentence that sounds comfortable: Sean also notices Director Dawson's use of the phrase "armed bandits" rather than "terror......
"But unfortunately, there were five casualties among the hostages. Dawson said: "It's a pity that this kind of thing happened, but I promise that our 28,000 police officers in the city will still do their best to protect the safety of the citizens in the days to come, and strive to prevent yesterday's misfortune from being repeated in the future!"
Director Dawson's shrewdness was evident, his speech was very short, but unusually capable, and he only elaborated a few figures, while expressing his own misfortune for the deceased. As for how to volatilize, that's a matter for journalists.
And these numbers will certainly be a big fuss, almost a hundred people were kidnapped by thirty-two murderers armed to the teeth, and only five were killed or wounded. Such a ratio is placed in the world, and I am afraid that it is a textbook rescue model.
And his speech, thus avoiding the danger of the "nuclear crisis" being revealed, can also reflect the low-key image of the director himself who can only do practical things and is not good at words.
The press officer walked up to the director and said, "Now it's time to ask questions." βγ
Hearing this, a blonde girl in the front row held the microphone and said, "Mr. Director, this is the third major case that has occurred in the city in half a year, does this mean that the public security situation in the city has declined?"
Dawson looked at the big girl, still in his characteristic tone, and said, "In fact, the crime in this city is down seven percent from last year. βγ
"What were the police casualties about yesterday's mosque hijacking?" said a tall black man in the crowd.
"Taylor!!" said Commissioner Dawson, "he was shot three times, one of which hit him in the lower abdomen! Unfortunately, when I called the doctor this morning, he told me good news that Taylor is fine and that he will soon be back in the police force!"
"I heard that PS Four is also involved in this matter, what is the connection between this?". Another reporter asked.
"Thumb Killer!" Dawson said, "They're here to find out the Thumb Killer, and if there's a connection, let me introduce one person, Sean, King, who was a police officer in the Western District Bureau, who was also present at the time of the incident, and killed three terrorists to keep most of the hostages safe." He can answer your questions in detail. β
With that, Dawson turned back and nodded at Sean, who then walked to the front of the stage. shook hands with Dawson, and the reporter below was a "crackling" mess!
Dawson stepped back to the side and gave up the microphone to Sean on the main table.
"I was looking for a suspect named Neuville. Sean said, "And he is a copycat of the Thumb Killer, and at the same time a member of Islam, so he went to the mosque because of this!"
"Officer Kim, you said that Neuville is a copycat, so the real thumb killer, haven't you found the suspect yet?". The blonde chick from before opened the ...... again
"We have set up a task force against this thumb killer!". Sean said.
"That is, we haven't gotten any clues yet. Right?" asked the blonde girl again.
She glanced at her and found that the woman looked okay, but the corners of her eyes were upturned, making her look a little domineering. said: "Handling cases is not idle, we will only grasp every clue tightly, and will not talk nonsense. Tell the truth to the world, that's what we should do!".
"So Oak asked, are you the head of this task force?" asked another reporter.
"Yes, I'm in charge!" Sean replied.
"When are you likely to catch the Thumbkiller?" the reporter asked.
Hearing this, Sean smiled instead and said, "It could be at any time!"
"May I think you're declaring war on the Thumb Killer?" the reporter hurriedly asked.
"In fact, when he committed his first crime, he was already against the entire police!" Sean said......
The entire press conference lasted about 30 minutes, and most of the questions revolved around the mosque hijacking and the Thumb Killer case. This is also what Dawson and other high-level figures want to see. The way Sean answered the questions was still very satisfying to them.
At the end, Director Dawson and the others said some words of encouragement to Sean. And in the "crackling" flash of the reporter, he was awarded a "Medal for Valor!" Sean himself did not know beforehand.
As when he came, Sean returned to the West District Bureau in Chief Eastwood's car.
It's just that he has an extra medal.
The medal brings not only an honor, a recognition, but also some very affordable things, such as this month's bonus, which may be a lot more than before.
"Ha, Sean, congratulations!" O'Sullivan smiled as soon as Sean came in: "I watched TV just now, and you are still very on camera!"
"Thank you!" Sean said, "Is there any good news beyond this?"
"Of course, good things always come in pairs!" O'Sullivan said: "The wife Mary I asked me to find before you left was on vacation, and I called her home, and the maid told me that they would take an early morning flight back tomorrow!".
"They?" said Sean, "who is this woman with?"
"You can guess!" O'Sullivan said, "It's her boss, Warren Buffett!".
The two of them talked, came to Sean's desk, and sat down separately, who made Sean the head of the task force now!
"Is there any news from Parma?" asked Sean.
"Than 1" O'Sullivan said: "You asked him to ask the guy who found the thumb at that time, and he went to check, but he hasn't come back yet!!".
"Alright then, you'll call that wife Mary again tomorrow morning to make sure she's back, and then we'll go find her!" Xiao Yi said.
"No problem, what else should I do?" O'Sullivan has changed his usual rude behavior since he appreciated Sean's skills.
"There's really one thing!" Sean said with a smile, "It's a private matter, I'm afraid about a friend of mine!".
"What?" O'Sullivan asked.
"He's actually my father's girlfriend!" said with a smile, "I've been in trouble lately, and I know your brother is a lawyer, so I want him to help!"
"That's no problem!" O'Sullivan said, "What's the trouble?"
"It's about her ex-husband!" Sean said, "I don't know the details!
"I'll give you his numberγγ O'Sullivan said, "You just have to let her call! What is her name?"
"Demi!" Sean said.
O'Sullivan said, "I'll sue my brother!" and wrote down a phone number on a sticky note on Sean's desk.
"Thank you!" Sean said, "If things go well, I'll ask my father to treat you and your brother to a big meal!"
"Of course!" O'Sullivan said.
When Officer Palma returned, it was almost time to leave work.
As soon as he came back, he scolded directly: "Damn! This guy is really hard to find, and I finally found him, but he had already moved to New York a year ago!"
Note: "Brothers are very powerful! As long as the new moon list remains in the top ten, the shark cut promises to keep it in the top ten, it will be changed every day, and it will definitely be effective!!Of course, it will be the same today!quack!!First change of five thousand!!Brothers, please continue to support the monthly pass!
