Chapter 4: The Thief
Eight o'clock in the morning
Lower Manhattan, Chinatown
When a Chinese person walks here, there may be a moment of trance, thinking that this is back in China, and the shops on both sides of the street are all Chinese signs, rows of big red lanterns are hung, and people with yellow skin and black eyes
At that time, there were also Chinese dialects that came to my ears from time to time, and of course there were more Cantonese speakers
All this can be a delusion for first-time visitors
On the corner of the street, there is a small shop that looks like it has just opened
The sign reads in simplified Chinese: "Hangzhou Xiaolongbao", the brand-new sign indicates that it has only just opened, and it is clear that the people around him do not recognize his food very much
Because there was only one guest inside, a white man in a black suit, it was none other than Colin who was preparing to go to work
At this moment, his hair has been dyed black, the taste of xiaolongbao is very authentic, and Colin eats it one by one, quickly but not rudely
A cup of hot soy milk is very comfortable
At 8.50 Colins arrived at the federal building
When Colin walked into the F.B.I. office hall, a smiling, thin old man came out
Seeing him, a smile appeared on Colin's face, and he stretched out his hand to shake his hand
Unexpectedly, the old man actually gave him a hug directly
This old man is the boss of the New York branch - Alan Albert
"Cauchy, you're finally here, why didn't you show up for last week's party"
"I've been working on the plot of my next book lately, so I'm pressed for time, Albert, please call me Colin or Campbell, Cauchy is just the name I use to write the book."
Colin casually rambled nonsense, and the plot he had just needed to be slightly modified
Obviously, Albert was also a member of the "book club", and he was also very familiar with Colin, and the office staff in the entire office hall looked at his boss with a look of surprise
You must know that he is usually very serious, and now he is more curious about this young man who looks more like a male model than an agent
"Oh my God, it looks like it's Cauchy" Someone seems to have recognized Colin coming
Some of Colin's Criminal Minds is very professional, and most of these law enforcement agencies have been recommended to see it, and although he didn't have a book launch like Casul, his photos can be found on "Fat Death".
Next, Colin is quickly dragged by the old man to his future immediate boss, the chief agent of the anti-fraud team, Pete Bolck
And then I just looked like I was busy
The remaining two shook hands and then looked at each other
At 35 years old, Pite Bolk is slightly shorter than Colin, about 185 centimeters, and in Colin's opinion, his slightly higher hairline and forehead lines make him look like he is in his forties
Judging by his meticulous dress, the man is very traditional and professional
Pite Bolk also looked at Colin curiously, he couldn't imagine that this young man who looked like the boy next door could write a book like Criminal Minds
He still has some headaches for Colin, this subordinate has impeccable professional skills, but he is a rich man worth tens of millions, and such subordinates make him a little unmanageable
All the tricks to punish his men didn't seem to work much for him, which made him feel like he couldn't handle it
"Hey Colin, it's you, why are you here?"
A handsome white man about 180 tall appeared at the door, wearing a gray bowler hat on his head, a gray slim-fitting waistcoat, and a pair of blue eyes like jewels flashing with joy
He took a few steps and hugged Colin, who slapped him helplessly
To be honest, after so many years in the United States, he still doesn't like this kind of etiquette of hugging at every turn, of course, it doesn't matter if the other party is a beautiful woman
For example, working in the corner of this small office and looking up at his "chocolate beauty" from time to time, Colin's aesthetic is still very normal
Living in a place for many years, most of the foreigners I meet every day are blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, and the aesthetics will naturally change somewhat, but it still depends on the face, this chocolate beauty face is considered to be passing, and the hot body directly adds points, so it is still in line with Colin's aesthetics
"I should ask you, Neil, why are you here?" If Colin remembers correctly, this guy should have been on the wrong side
Neil Kavrey, a fraudster with the title of "Thief", is a genius who can be faked and faked, and the encounter between the two is still very exciting, a year ago a Stark Industries cargo ship was hijacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden
The most important thing is that there is a small shareholder of Stark Group with the ship, although he only has 1.5% of the shares, he is worth tens of billions of dollars in the Stark Group, which has a market value of up to one trillion dollars
So the Stark group used its own power to get the US imperialist government to come to the rescue, which of course had to be solved by the naval commando leopards, but a general of the Marine Corps also wanted to curry favor with Stark
So there was that joint operation, Thirty Seals, Thirty Marines, and Colin was one of the members of the Marine Corps
Colin was the first to storm the hostage cell, and he shot a pirate in the head with a single shot, and the guy was putting a gun to Neil Kavrey's head
So Colin is Neil's savior, and as for why Neil was caught, it's actually easy to explain, as a fraudster and a thief, he occasionally kicks to the iron plate
Neil also saw how powerful Colin was, and it only took a few seconds for Colin to rush in, killing all of them before the three pirates could take aim with their guns, and he was shocked by his amazing marksmanship
Colin was rewarded with $100,000 for the successful rescue of the hostages, the largest pirate group in the region that dared to fight Stark's industrial ideas, and the wealth in their base was worth tens of millions of dollars
The U.S. imperialists will not return these things to the local government, so the reward Colin gets is just a small amount of money, everyone in the team has a reward, and he himself also got a reward of $1 million from the Stark rescue special fund, and the Stark Group is indeed inhumane
Back to the present
In the morning, under the leadership of Neil, Colin completed the entry procedures, received a uniform and police badge with a gun, it seems that Neil is already familiar with this place, and Colin also knows that this guy is still wearing electronic shackles, which can be regarded as a stage of meritorious service
In the afternoon, Colin finally began his normal trainee federal police job - sorting out the papers
It's boring, but newcomers come like this, first of all, you have to know the team's process and method of handling cases by looking at the information
Colin turned off random task postings so that he could go to work quietly, and he couldn't skip work on his first day of work and go out to do his own thing
At this moment, their group has all gone out to run errands, only the chocolate beauty Diana remains, and it feels good for the two to chat while working
Suddenly, the landline phone on the desk rang
Diana picked up the phone and hung up after a few words, then turned to Colin and said:
"The boss received a jewelry theft, let's go together"
Naturally, Colin readily agreed, it was better than burying himself in a file
Ten minutes later, the two drove a black SUV (FBI car) to a specialty store that made famous French jewelry from La Joyau Precieux in French
There's a trade fair going on here
When Colin entered the door, he saw Neil lying on the chest of a beautiful female model, not knowing what the hell he was doing, and muttering, "It's so beautiful"
Colin......
Just as Colin stepped into Leruhuaio
Drip! The system's prompt sounds
Trigger the task in a specific scenario: "Find the thief who stole the jewelry" (Note: There must be legal evidence to prove the crime)
Task reward: 100 luck points and 100 experience points for completing the task (Note: The luck points of the scene triggering task will be deducted from all those who want to achieve this)
The task came at a good time, Colin was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't pause
A thought: Xiaowen activates the detective mode
"Received"
Colin's eyes immediately changed, and three functions began to work on the system panel
At this time, Neil also identified that the beautiful pink diamond on the model's neck was a fake
"Here you are, Diana, you take Colin to check the alibi of the staff present," Bork began to command with his waist crossed
Colin was a little disappointed, he had also watched the surveillance video at the moment, the thief who was wrapped like a ninja was still arrogantly kissing at the camera, in fact, he had a better way, but now was obviously not the time for him to behave
"Wait! Colin what do you think?"
Pete suddenly remembered that there was something special about this newcomer and might have a better idea
