Chapter XVIII, No. 690
Three days later
At the entrance of the Santa Monica precinct, the two policemen who came out were also a pair of old and young partners, just like the model that has suddenly become popular in Hollywood police movies in recent years. The old man www.biquge.info about fifty years old, easy-going and respectful, and the few looked only in their early twenties, with a serious face. They were all in uniform, and it was their first time on duty, and the young man couldn't help but look around for the patrol car that was about to be driven.
The young man is James, who is not "Bo" or "Ya", wearing a black police uniform and pinning a "guy" to his waist, and began a career with the road, criminals, and handcuffs.
And James's partner is a retired veteran policeman named George. Darcy, he is an ordinary patrol police officer in the city of archangels, in his very ordinary and boring police career, he has arrested a number of drunks and thieves, other than that, there seems to be no strange deeds, happy to go up, come home safely, this is his greatest creed, he is unwavering in this, so he is slow to be promoted, at that time he was popular, familiar with various rules.
Recently, though, George did a good job of catching a notorious pervert who was about to attack and murder a girl.
Therefore, George was set as a model, which is also a strong stroke before his retirement. Because it is the opening of the 23rd Summer Olympics, so in California, in the city of archangels, security is the first, this matter is less than 1 year ago, although it is purely hot-headed, and there is a fluke element, but he intends to take this great achievement to show off all the time, and put a good stamp on the pension.
In front of the police superintendent Michael, James answered neatly, but after touching the steering wheel of his patrol car, he stepped on the accelerator without knowing it.
"Are you kidding me? If you can go this way, I hope you can go to the circus show. I've got you all the names in mind, Oriental Magic! George chuckled.
"Ahem! I'm sorry, but I can be forgiven for the first time! James coughed twice in embarrassment
"I didn't say anything in front of the superintendent just now, but I'll tell you honestly, I'm retiring, do you know what I think?" Speaking of retirement, George was not sad, because he no longer had to face the danger of being a policeman, and he had not offended any big people, so he could leave quietly.
"You're going to be sad! When I left home to go to another place, although I said it didn't matter, I sometimes thought about my neighbors and friends! When the car caught fire, James didn't start it right away, but looked at the onboard equipment.
"I don't want to talk to you, you don't want to mess with me, I'll thank God! Let's go! George turned his head, facing forward, not wanting to see James's face, raised his hand and waved his finger and said.
James drove the police car number 690 along the road along the planned area. The weather slowly warmed up, and the open car window blew in the warm wind, gently blowing on the body, every capillary blood pore seemed to feel the intimacy of the wind, and the warm fragrance of nephrite was full of arms, adding a calm breath to the slightly excited James.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a few blocks of the tour was completed, George got out of the car at a coffee shop, bought a cup of coffee, and didn't ask James if he needed it, so after James knew that he had finished buying coffee, he realized that he didn't know how to be a human being.
As a newcomer, no matter how good the grades are in school, but when it comes to real practice, you still have to take one step at a time and study hard, and besides, Superintendent Michael arranged for an old policeman to follow James one by one, not without reason, learning the business well is one thing, the other is to be familiar with some offices, or the work rules of grassroots patrol police, or let him see the current situation of LAPD.
"I don't think you're sleepy, so I didn't buy your share!" George closed the car door, took a sip of his coffee, and said.
"It's okay, these were originally what I was going to do, and I asked you to go in person, I'm embarrassed to let you buy them, GG, I may not be a good student, but I will be a good policeman, what do you think?" James first touched his head embarrassedly, and then said in a tone that was indeed so.
"I don't know if you're a good cop, and I don't want to know, I don't think I'm very familiar with you yet, don't mess with my name abbreviation, OK!" George was a little helpless, so he had to remind James to start the car.
"George, I think it's very good, you can call me JA."
Police car 690 continues on the road, and the discussion of the name in the car continues, and George clearly doesn't want to talk to him more.
The pedestrian street is a busy commercial area, and a large number of tourists come and go every day, as well as business, dating, and all kinds of other people.
As he passed by, George looked through the rearview mirror at the crowd and caught his attention on the side of the road by four handsome-looking and dashing tourists in suits and ties, who had been a police officer for many years and had developed a pair of sharp eyes, and intuitively deduced that the four young men who looked like dogs were pickpockets.
"Did you notice those young men in suits and leather shoes on the side of the road?" George said nonchalantly.
"What young man, did you say the ones in front?" James Nunu said, looking at a few young people who walked out of Starbucks after the business negotiation.
"Do you think they do what I say?" George wasn't angry either, just motioned for James to keep driving.
"Are you talking about the ones on the pedestrian street just now? I see them like people looking for a job! What's the problem? James continued to drive, and then remembered that his partner was talking about those people.
"Huh! Looking for a job is really looking for it again, but it's in someone else's wallet, and you don't have to ask for it! George's face was smiling, and he smiled mysteriously and strangely, and said to James at the same time.
"Squeak! You say they're thieves? James slammed the brakes to death, and the tires of the police car made a screeching sound against the ground, and after the car stopped, James said incredulously.
Maybe George knew that James would have such a reaction, so he grabbed the handrail above his head at the beginning, waited for the car to stop, and the cushioning was over, and said unhurriedly: "Do you have proof?" Did they do it? Are you trying to arrest someone? You're still too young, do you know whose territory this is? ”
A series of questions, James looked helpless, he really didn't know the situation here, in his cognition, there are bad guys to arrest, suspects are bad guys can also be arrested, the police have this right, whether the guilty suspect says it or not, the judge will naturally give a reasonable explanation.
"Keep driving!" George didn't wait for James to answer, because his forced expression had already told him the answer, so he continued to patrol the rest of the place until the end of work.
"But ......"
"No, I said keep driving, do you want to object?"
Although James didn't want to carry out such instructions, according to Michael's intentions, everything was subject to George's arrangement, and if there was any opinion, you could find him after going back, plus George was now wide-eyed and did not use threatening words, but this expression had already told the whole story.
When it was close to 10 o'clock, the car radio called: "No. XX, William Community, District 5, someone reported to the 911 police station that a person died at the door of his apartment, please go to the nearest police car to support!" ”
After hearing this information, George ignored James, picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Police car No. 690 is nearby, immediately go to the scene to support, over!" ”
"Please arrive at the scene as soon as possible, number 690 has arrived at the scene, over!"
To be honest, the person on the other side of the alarm station should be a good person, and the voice is also very good, but James and George can't care about anything else, speeding up is a must, dead people, it's the rhythm of a big case, especially in this sensitive period, if it's a serial homicide, it will cause panic, and it will also make the city of archangels go out all over the world, after all, the Olympics are not a country to participate in.
So it only took James and George's police car three minutes to get to the scene.
The neighborhood was quiet, and no one seemed to find anything wrong, except of course for an apartment facing the street, with the doors and windows on the shelf, and an old woman in slippers and pajamas standing.
There's also a guy in shabby black trousers, rotten shoes, and a scruffy black and white jacket lying prone on the ground.
Apparently the complainant was the old woman, who pointed at them through the glass door, then opened the door a few inches and reached out through the crack to point at the motionless figure.
"Aha, what's going on?" James said.
"I'm drunk, help me," George bent down to sniff it, and then said in extreme disgust. ”
"Wait a minute." James said.
"Huh?"
"Do you know this man, ma'am?" James asked politely.
"Yes."
"Where does he live?"
The woman pointed to a door three yards inside the hallway.
"There. He fell asleep when he was about to unlock the door. ”
"Oh, yes, he's got the key in his hand." James said as he scratched his scalp. "Does he live alone?"
"Who would live with such a dead old man?" The woman said.
"What are you going to do?" George asked suspiciously.
James didn't answer, he bent down to take the key from the man's hand, and then, as if he had practiced for many years, pulled the drunk man up, pushed the door open with his knees, and dragged the man into the apartment.
The old woman was on the side, and Jo was standing on the steps outside, both of them looking at the scene with disapproval, but did not intervene.
James opened the door and tore off the drunkard's damp coat, and the drunkard staggered forward, collapsed on the bed, and muttered:
"Thank you, beautiful young lady! I didn't say to subdue the seduction game, so you don't expect me to pay! ”
Then the drunkard rolled over and fell asleep.
James put the keys on the dining chair next to the bed, turned off the lights and closed the door, and went out to get back to the police car.
"Good morning, ma'am," James said, waving his hand.
The old woman pursed her lips and glared at him, and shook her head and went in.
The big case didn't happen, not even the shadow was found, this was a joke played by God to James, he was full of anticipation at first, but when he went to the scene, he didn't want anything bad to happen to anyone, but the end result was good, it was just a drunkard, an alcoholic drunkard who made the earth a bed and used the white clouds in the sky as a quilt.
Look at the white clouds in the distance, as if they are alive, putting on all kinds of smiling faces, I don't know if they are showing friendship to James, or laughing at everything in this land?
