Jessica looked at Rorschach, the corners of her mouth hooked, blinked, and said:

"Well, I shouldn't have asked your personal questions either."

Rorschach nodded slightly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, for some reason Jessica's inquiry made him a little nervous.

At this time, Pradino came over and said to Rorschach:

"Sheriff, can we talk alone?"

Rorschach glanced at Pradino and turned to Jessica and said:

"I'm going to talk to Mr. Pradino."

"Of course."

Jessica smiled slightly, "You're the sheriff, you have the final say." ”

"Ms. Jessica, I'll give you back to the sheriff in a moment."

Pradino winked at Jessica, then led Rorschach to a no-man's corner of the hall.

Rorschach looked around and asked:

"Mr. Pradino, is there something going on?"

"I have a very good relationship with your previous sheriffs."

Pradino smiled and said, "We had a great time working together. ”

"Really?"

The corners of Rorschach's mouth hooked, and he said lightly, "That's because you bought them, right?" ”

"I didn't buy them."

Pradino spread his hands, "But sometimes it is necessary to distort or break the law for the good of the public, and I know you agree with that, because this is Sam's Country." ”

"Nope."

Rorschach shook his head, "You don't know me at all. ”

"Yes......"

Pradino was stunned for a moment, "It's true that I don't know you, sheriff, but you also don't know me, there are many things you don't know here, my family has lived here for 160 years, my life has also been spent here, I know this place, I participated in the construction of this place, for it, I have paid an unimaginable price, I am Sleeping Town, Sleeping Town is me." ”

Rorschach smiled at the corners of his mouth.

Pradino pointed at him and asked:

"Sheriff, have you ever loved anything so much?"

"Of course."

Rorschach nodded, "I love my profession. ”

"Okay."

Pradino pursed his lips, "You know, people here don't always approve of what I do, and since you came, I think you and I should be about the same, so I can't figure out why the two of us can't be friends." ”

"Of course we can be friends......"

Rorschach smiled, "As long as you don't break the law." ”

"Sheriff ......"

Pradino shook his head, "Do you have any evidence that I did something wrong?" ”

"Nope."

Rorschach shrugged, "I also "hope" you haven't done it. ”

"Okay."

Pradino sighed, "It seems that the sheriff can't be my "friend" for the time being. ”

"That's a shame."

Rorschach suddenly asked, "Can you ask Mr. Pradino about someone?" ”

"Who?"

Pradino looked at Rorschach.

"Hansen."

"He ......"

Pradino narrowed his eyes, "I haven't seen him in a long time. ”

"Really?"

Rorschach looked distressed, "He's in a lot of trouble, and the Schumacher state legislators have come to my office and are furious." ”

"I understand his ......"

Pradino sighed, "The pain of losing a child is not something that everyone can pretend to be nothing. ”

"If Mr. Pradino has any clues, I hope you can tell me in time."

"Of course."

Pradino nodded, "For this kind of thing, I will definitely actively cooperate with the sheriff." ”

"Thank you."

Rorschach glanced at Jessica, who had been looking at this side, and said with a smile, "My female companion is waiting in a hurry, and I lost my companion first." ”

"Please."

Pradino smiled and made a gesture of please.

Rorschach nodded and walked over to Jessica, his back to Pradino as his face sank. In order to prevent his son's drug addiction from affecting his image among voters, only a small number of medical staff and police station personnel knew about the death of his son Reid, and he just said that Schumacher State Councilor was angry at the police station, and Pradino expressed the pain of losing his son. Moreover, he also had a feeling that Hansen's disappearance should have something to do with Pradino.

Jessica looked at Rorschach and asked in a low voice:

"What? The conversation was unpleasant. ”

"Not ......"

The corners of Rorschach's mouth curled up and a smile appeared, "Something to gain." ”

"What's the catch?"

Jessica asked curiously.

"You'll know when the time comes."

Rorschach decided not to tell Jessica what he thought for the time being, not because he was distrustful, but because there was no conclusive evidence yet, and ideas were just ideas.

"Okay."

Jessica shrugged her shoulders, "Then sheriff, aren't you going to ask me for a dance?" ”

"Uh......"

Rorschach showed a rare surprise and hurriedly waved his hand, "I can't dance." ”

"How is that possible?"

Jesse Cara, holding Rorschach's arm, walked to the dance floor in the center of the hall.

"Wait!"

Rorschach said a little anxiously, "I really won't! ”

At this time, the band on the bandstand in the hall began to play the famous Argentine tango "PorUna Cabeza".

Jesse Kara took his hand, blinked, and asked:

"Really?"

Rorschach said with certainty:

"Not really."

"It doesn't matter......

Jessica smiled slightly, pulled Rorschach's right hand to her back, raised his left hand, held her broad shoulder, and whispered softly to her ear, "I'll teach you ......"

In a corner of the hall, Prosecutor Hopeway walked up to his wife and asked:

"What's wrong? What are you in a daze? ”

"Ahh

Kelly suddenly woke up, withdrew her gaze from the dance floor in the hall, and pressed her forehead, "I suddenly feel a little headache. ”

"Headache? What's going on? ”

Prosecutor Hopeway nervously held his wife.

"Maybe a little tired."

Kelly leaned into Prosecutor Hopeway's arms, "Honey, I want to go back first, is that okay?" ”

"Hmm."

Prosecutor Hopeway nodded, "I'll ask the driver to take you back." ”

Kelly was helped by Prosecutor Hopeway to the exit of the hall, and she looked out at the dance floor in the center of the hall, where Rorschach was clumsily learning to tango under Jessica's tutelage.

……

Early the next morning, as soon as Rorschach arrived at the police station, Lupita reminded him that today was the last day of shooting certification, and that before 4 p.m., Rorschach had to rush to the "Harris Shooting Range" for a target test, and the test results would be submitted to the mayor and the old judge to prove that his shooting skills could still knock down criminals, and if he did not qualify, he would need to be trained in shooting.

Although Rorschach is very confident in his own shooting skills, he still feels that it is necessary to test it, after all, Sam's Country is a country where guns are legal, and the habits that he has developed in China in the past may not apply here.

For example, firing a warning gun is expressly forbidden in Sam's country, because firing a warning gun in Sam's country is basically tantamount to telling the criminal that the police will not shoot him, and the purpose of the warning will not be achieved, and it may cause harm to innocent people.

Of course, the Sam's National Police cannot directly shoot and kill, and must carry out a warning procedure before shooting, and there are six levels of warning procedures, namely verbal command, restraint control, hitting the perpetrator, chemical agents, hitting the perpetrator with a non-lethal impact weapon, and lethal coercion.

Under normal circumstances, Sam's National police must go through a warning procedure before firing a gun, except in an emergency, such as "gun-to-gun".

However, due to the legalization of gun ownership in Sam's Country, the Sam's National Police do not know whether the suspect is in possession of a firearm, as long as the Sam's National Police "think" that the suspect poses a great threat to the body or life of the police or a third person, they can shoot, that is, whether the Sam's National Police shoot or not is determined by the situation at the time and the "facts" they have, rather than the crime committed by the suspect, so there will be a lot of news that is not a serious crime, but is still shot and killed by the Sam's National Police.

In addition, Sam's country law holds that police officers can shoot in order to protect themselves and others, and in principle, it is lawful to shoot in accordance with the law, and in consideration of the danger faced by the police, even if there is a misjudgment, i.e., false defense, it is tolerant and judges that the police use guns are justified and do not need to be held liable.

According to Sam's Model Penal Code, the use of force by a police officer against another person and the injury to an innocent person caused by recklessness or negligence cannot be justified on that ground. Conversely, if a police officer intentionally and unlawfully uses force against another person and causes death or injury to an innocent person, it should be a valid reason for prosecuting the crime.

In addition, Sam's State usually guides the use of force by the police in the form of precedents, based on customary practice as well as judicial practice.

According to a special survey conducted by the Sam State Police Foundation in seven cities across Sam Country, 43 per cent of cases involving police guns were shot and killed without the victim being in possession of any weapon.

Moreover, once the police in Sam Country shoot, according to the provisions of the "Police Manual", they must shoot at the fatal part, the so-called fatal part refers to the middle part of the human torso, the reason is that the torso part is the frontal projection part of the human body, which is the easiest part to hit in the event of a shootout, and it can be shot with a gun drawn during close contact, and there is no need to deliberately aim.

Why not shoot in the head? As the department with the most experience in actual combat, the Sam National police fired no more than 11 yards (about 10 meters) in 90% of the cases, and the FBI exchanged fire within 3 yards (about 2.7 meters) in 75% of the cases.

In such a short distance, there is not much time to react, and you can only rely on instinct to shoot, coupled with the large torso target, many buffer tissues, low ballistics, and the bullet will not fly too far after penetrating the target (about 30 meters from the pistol), and it is not easy to penetrate and injure other innocent people, so the Sam National Police will shoot the torso once they shoot, and according to the regulations, they must also "double click", that is, shoot twice, and this also causes it to gradually evolve into "four hits", "six hits" and even a shuttle bullet, until the opponent is beaten into a sieve.

For the Sam National Police, these regulations pay more attention to the personal safety of the police, but for ordinary people, they are extremely dangerous.
