Chapter 151 Catch and Run
(Thank you for the two monthly passes of my friend Lao Mao 71255~)
At eleven o'clock, Kelly, Mu Qingcheng, Sullivan and two police officers drove two police cars and parked in front of Thompson's house, the town was already very quiet at this time, and even Christmas Eve could not change the living habits of the town's residents.
"Do you want to just break in?" Sullivan asked.
Mu Qingcheng swept his divine sense, and said: "We knocked on the door openly, if Thompson uses a gun, it is just right, he can be arrested just for the crime of attacking the police." “
Several policemen looked at each other, and there was a hint of hesitation in their eyes.
Mu Qingcheng smiled: "Don't worry, my senses are extremely sensitive, if Thompson has a gun, I will warn him as soon as possible." “
Kelly also said, "Trust him, Sullivan, you come knock!"
"Oh!"
Sullivan pounded the wooden fence door.
"Open the door, open the door, police, police!"
Mu Qingcheng turned on his divine sense and observed the movements in the house.
The two couples were already asleep in bed, and the decades-old couple didn't have much passion, they were all in neat pajamas, back to back, and at this time, they were awakened.
"Thompson, there's police out there, you go out and have a look. “
Mrs. Thompson opened her eyes in a daze, turned around and nudged Thompson.
Thompson shook his head, got out of bed and leaned against the window to see that it was indeed a police officer.
In China, there will be criminals in Shitang wearing fake police uniforms to pretend to be policemen, because the same style of police uniforms is easy to buy, but not in the United States, impersonating a state official is a felony, enough to make you sit in prison, so Thompson didn't think much about it, plus he slept in a daze, and his mind was not completely clear, so he couldn't guess why the police came.
"Go and open the door, how can the police come on Christmas Eve, the police are really, and they don't let people have a good holiday?"
Mrs. Thompson got out of bed with a grunt look on her face, draped her coat over her, and handed it to Thompson.
Thompson went downstairs with his clothes on, opened the door, and shouted through the courtyard, "I'm Thompson, what's the matter?"
Sullivan shouted: "Please forgive me for bothering you so late, there is really a case that needs your assistance, the case is urgent, we can only interrupt late at night, I am really sorry." “
Another fat policeman sighed: "Hey, we haven't even caught it on Christmas Eve!"
Seeing that the policeman's attitude was so calm, Thompson relieved himself, went out to open the yard, and led the policeman into the house.
"What is it?" asked Mrs. Thompson.
Kelly said solemnly: "Please Mr. Thompson to assist us in investigating a series of female ** murders that occurred in Jamaica Bay twelve years ago!"
With a bang, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and Thompson's face turned pale in an instant, and his mind was blank!
Mu Qingcheng said again: "James has already explained everything, please hand over the key to the safe, we need to search!"
Thompson took a few steps back, his diary locked in the safe, and he couldn't help but look at the bedroom, where the key was hanging on the keychain in his trouser pocket, and at this moment, his heart was filled with great fear.
"Pretend to be stupid, let's go, let's go up and get it ourselves!" Through this glance, Mu Qingcheng determined where the key was.
"What are you doing, what are you doing?" exclaimed Mrs. Thompson, coming to her senses.
"Go upstairs!"
Kelly grabbed her and pushed her upstairs, Kelly's strength was not too great, Mrs. Thompson had no power to resist, and the two policemen also cut Thompson's hands and followed him upstairs and into the bedroom.
Mu Qingcheng picked up the key, opened the safe, and when he took out the diary, Thompson's face was like ashes, he knew that he was finished, unless a miracle happened, and he didn't even notice that he was handcuffed.
Mrs. Thompson, however, took two more glances at the deposit slip and the jeweled diamond that had been taken out at the same time.
Mu Qingcheng said with a smile: "The Japanese record is an important piece of evidence, we will take it, this is a document, please sign it, we will not move other things, but I must remind you that your husband is suspected of hunting more than a dozen young and beautiful women for the rich, and after playing with them, the corpses are destroyed, and we have sufficient evidence that he was involved in the whole process, such a person is very terrifying, I think you should still think more about your future." ”
A policeman handed the slip over, and Mrs. Thompson signed it like a walking corpse.
"That's it, let's go!"
Kelly waved her hand, and several people escorted Thompson into the police car, whistling away.
Mrs. Thompson remained at home until the sound of the car had died down for a long time, when she picked up the phone and called the police.
"Is it the police department? My husband, Thompson, was arrested by several police officers who accused my husband of being involved in a murder more than a decade ago......"
"Oh, hello, could you please start from the beginning, don't worry, your name, home address, your husband's occupation?"
On the other end of the phone, he asked unhurriedly.
Mrs. Thompson had to suppress her anxiety and speak patiently.
"We need to verify, please call back in half an hour, doodoo~~"
Mrs. Thompson had to wait patiently and call again half an hour later.
"Hello, Mrs. Thompson, the Berkeley police did not arrest your husband......"
Mrs. Thompson was going crazy, waited for half an hour, waited for this result, and immediately roared: "It was the New York police who came to arrest me, oh God, is this the efficiency of the police, I repeat, it was the New York police, they arrested my husband, and they took a notebook, and the stamp on the slip was the New York City Police Department's Brooklyn 8th through 15th block police departments, I'm going crazy!"
On the phone, he was still unhurried: "Mrs. Thompson, thank you for the information, we will report it to the above, I wish you a pleasant evening, goodbye!"
The phone hung up again, and Mrs. Thompson pulled her hair angrily, anyone who encounters this kind of police will go crazy!
After a while, he barely calmed down, and couldn't help but recall the past, as if twelve years ago, his husband's whereabouts were more mysterious for a while, and then he got better, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but after a few years, Thompson gave up Columbia's generous salary without warning and applied for a job at the American National Laboratory, completely ignoring his opposition.
After all, compared with the bustling New York, Berkeley is like a village, although their family is not wealthy, but Thompson's income belongs to the upper class of white-collar workers, and she lives comfortably in New York, and it took several years for her to reluctantly adjust her mentality.
Looking back now, coming to Berkeley from New York is indeed full of suspicions, combined with the rhetoric of the New York police, did her husband really do those things?
Mrs. Thompson looked at the deposit receipts and jewels and diamonds taken out of the safe, including the money from the sale of the house in New York and the savings over the years, together with equity and bonds, totaling nearly 10 million dollars, and the jewels and diamonds were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and gradually, her eyes lit up.
......
"New York police came to our Berkeley site to arrest people?"
Berkeley City Police Chief Williams received a notification from the operator, hurried to the police station, and after checking the call records, he scolded angrily!
The cross-district arrest does not communicate with you in advance, which is equivalent to a slap in the face, if this spreads, where will the Berkeley police's face go?
One of the policemen who accompanied him said, "Mr. Chief, what should we do now? Are we just watching people being arrested in vain? They are just county police, not the FBI!"
Another police officer reminded: "But they accused Thompson of being involved in a series of female abuse and murder cases more than a decade ago, and since they dared to arrest him, there must have been sufficient evidence." “
Williams looked at the map of the United States, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said for a long time: "I don't care so much, arresting people on my turf just doesn't give me face, if Thompson is arrested and returned to New York, what will those councilors in the city think of us? What will the citizens of Berkeley think of us? Even if Thompson is guilty, he must be brought back for us to investigate."
I think that the New York police will definitely leave California as soon as possible, they will definitely take this road, this is the closest road to Nevada, Johnny, now I order you, immediately organize a manpower pursuit, even if it is to New York, chase people back for me!"
Johnny is a middle-aged police officer in his thirties, his face is a little bitter, he went to chase the police in New York, what are you kidding? You know, it's Christmas Eve, everyone else is spending Christmas in a warm cabin, but he's going to Nevada to eat sand!
Williams said coldly: "You have the right to refuse, but I can also assign someone else to do it!"
Johnny is suddenly awakened!
Williams is the chief of the police department, don't think that in American democracy, subordinates can scare their superiors, in fact, the reason why superiors are superiors may be the factors of ability and seniority, but the key role is still the resources behind it.
For example, if Williams' backer falls, will he, the director, still be able to be the director?
At present, Williams's position is as stable as Mount Tai, and he does not obey orders, this is the rhythm of wanting to wear small shoes!
"Yes! I'll be right away!"
Johnny replied loudly and trotted out the door.
Williams nodded with satisfaction, and added, "Give me a call from the NYPD, and I'm going to ask O'Neill what exactly he is going to do?"
"This ......"
The subordinate looked embarrassed.
'What's wrong?'
Williams' face sank.
The subordinate gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency the Director, it is not appropriate for us to call the New York City Bureau, although New York and Berkeley are the same cities, but he is a metropolitan city established on the basis of the county, so ...... A call from the San Francisco Police Department to the New York City Department would be more important than ours.
The administrative divisions of the United States are divided into three levels: states, counties, and cities below the central level, and the city is the lowest, and the metropolitan city is a special situation, which is equivalent to the municipality directly under the central government in China.
"MD, I'm calling the San Francisco Police Department personally!"
Williams angrily picked up his phone and dialed.
"Hello, only the criminal case registration function is reserved during the Christmas period, if you need other services, please call us on the 26th, thank you for your cooperation......"
In the mobile phone, there was a mechanized prompt sound.
The subordinate said helplessly: "Your Excellency the director, can you call the director of the San Francisco City Bureau directly?"
"This ......"
Williams hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's not good to disturb people for the holidays, I'll call again on the 26th, anyway, I'm not in a hurry." ”
