69. Gunshot wounds
Although the NYPD's support did not come in time, it was fortunate that Teddy was captured and stolen, and then the police officers returned to the underground garage under the leadership of Goofy to seize the guns sold by Teddy, and Frank, who played a key role in the battle, had already slipped oil on the soles of his feet.
Counting the loot afterwards, the NYPD seized 13 semi-automatic pistols, 8 automatic rifles, and 405 rounds of ammunition from Teddy...... There is no doubt that the success of this operation caused heavy losses to the New York gun trafficking organization, and it also sounded the alarm bell for all domestic gun trafficking gangs.
However, when the seized guns were finally counted according to the inventory list in Teddy's hand, Hank found a very strange thing - the number of guns seized at the scene was less than the number on Teddy's inventory list, and some of the guns were missing.
"Weird...... Hank touched his head and frowned, "Where did some of the guns go?" ”
Goofy, who was standing on the sidelines, knew that Frank was here tonight more than just to protect his nephew.
————————
Escort the criminals back to the police station, and then enter the relevant evidence and information, and by the time Gao Fei returned home, it was almost dawn.
When he opened the door and entered the house, Frank was in the apartment for the first time, the old guy had just finished taking a shower, and was sitting on the sofa drinking beer and watching the American soap opera replayed on TV.
Seeing Goofy enter the house, Frank smiled courteously: "My heroic police nephew is back?" Welcome, welcome, welcome. ”
Goofy didn't bother to say hello to him, walked straight up to Frank, blocked his view of watching TV, and then stared at him with his head down.
"Frank, Teddy sold a few fewer guns, you took them quietly, right?"
Frank was stunned when he heard this, put on an innocent expression and spread his hands and said, "How is it possible?" How could I do such a thing? ”
Gao Fei snorted coldly: "Have you done less of this kind of thing?" Don't think I don't know your little ninety-nine, you didn't go to the scene today to save me, but for Teddy's car of firearms. When you saw my analysis in your apartment, you coveted this cart of powerful munitions, otherwise why didn't you stop Teddy when he was escaping, but just stop the truck loaded with guns? ”
Frank refused to admit it: "Wronged! Officer, I've been wronged! ”
"You've wronged a fart!" Gao Fei scolded sharply, "If it weren't for the timely arrival of NYPD support, you're afraid you're not going to pull that cart of guns away, right?" Fortunately, my colleague arrived just in time, and you only took a few guns with you. ”
"I really don't have ......" Frank Dead Duck stiff-mouthed, "Nephew officer, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence......"
"Hehe, I have no proof." Goofy sneered, "But Frank, you'd better not let me catch the evidence. These prohibited guns threaten the personal safety of New Yorkers every day, and we police officers will pay with our lives to control these safety hazards! A colleague of mine had his shoulder blade shattered directly tonight and almost died! It's just to control these damn guns, so if I find out that you have something to do with these guns, I don't care if you're my uncle or not, or if you saved my life, I'll let you accept the law! ”
"Okay, okay, Officer Goofy." Frank raised his hands and obediently surrendered, "Don't worry, I won't let you find out...... Ahem, I mean, I don't have anything to do with those guns, I'm a good citizen! ”
Goofy's gaze turned cold: "Frank, I'm not kidding, you know I've always done what I say." ”
Seeing that Goofy seemed to be ready to pursue it to the end, Frank finally relented, and his whole body was like a deflated ball, turning around and running to his room and dragging out a suitcase.
"Okay, okay, count me on the hell, Officer Goofy, I'll hand over the stolen goods, please take your ......," Frank said with a pleading face.
Gao Fei patted him on the shoulder: "If you know your mistakes, change them, it's a great thing!" ”
————————
After sleeping in the apartment in the morning, Goofy went to return the remaining guns to the bureau in the afternoon, although Frank's behavior was indeed inappropriate, but Sheriff Schneider did not bother to hold him accountable, after all, a gun trafficking gang had already made the 109th precinct anxious, and everyone really couldn't spare time to prosecute a jobless vagrant.
After disposing of the remaining firearms, Goofy went to the hospital on a special trip, and the black girl Iris of the 93rd Precinct had a broken shoulder blade, and her condition was not very good at this time.
Iris was overjoyed to see Goofy visiting with a bouquet of flowers in hand.
"Officer Goofy, why are you here?"
Gao Fei smiled lightly: "Let's take a look at the honorably wounded colleague." ”
With that, Goofy put the flowers into the vase at the head of the bed, and then helped Iris to get up and sit down.
Iris looked ashamed and muttered in a low voice: "Alas, it's all because I was too reckless at the time, and rushed in without waiting for support, otherwise I wouldn't have been hit by the gangsters......"
"You are also worried about the escape of the gangsters, although the method is wrong, but the courage is commendable." Goofy said bluntly.
In fact, being able to deal with gangsters at a critical moment regardless of his own safety is very admirable, Goofy can be reborn in another world when he dies, but others are just dead when they die, and because Goofy understands this, he admires Iris and the other police officers of the 93rd Precinct even more.
They are the real heroes.
"Does your shoulder still hurt?" Goofy asked with a smile.
"Much better." Iris shook her head slightly, then pointed to a small medicine bottle hanging from her chest, "The nurse has prepared a painkiller pump for me, if it hurts, just press it." ”
But speaking of this, a trace of loss flashed in Iris's eyes: "It's just that the doctor said that even if I recover, I will be unable to move, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go out on field work in the future, and it will be difficult to drive......"
Goofy didn't know how to comfort her, but felt very uncomfortable.
Although this shot did not kill Iris, it ruined her life.
Maybe the NYPD will give Iris a credit and maybe a medal to him, but it won't help after all, and these honors won't heal Iris's injured shoulder.
Sooner or later, this incident will be forgotten over time, and the honor given to it will disappear, and in the end, all that will always be with Iris is the old wound on his shoulder and the arm that can never be lifted properly.
This is the price that a low-level police officer pays for upholding justice.
There are thousands more like Iris around the world.
After being silent for a long time, Gao Fei took a deep breath, patted Eris's hand gently, and said, "Iris, I can't alleviate your pain, the only thing I can do is not let you take this shot in vain." Rest assured, I will track down the guns sold by the gun trafficking gang one by one, and I will recover these guns one by one. I will use my own power to reduce the occurrence of shootings in New York, please rest assured. ”
