A week later, Jimmy returned to the county police station, and as soon as he entered the police station gate, Director James called Jimmy into his office.

"Jimmy, it's been a great job."

"Thanks for the compliment, Director." Jimmy replied with a hippie smile.

"Well, I didn't praise you. Jimmy, you need to be aware that we are the police, not the military, not the gangsters, we handle cases and defend the city, not for legitimate killings.

In just 4 months, you've already had 3 cases, and you don't want to be called a butcher cop. Stop it, and next time you must pay attention to the lighter hand. ”

"However, Chief, every time I shoot there is a reasonable reason, the scene was really dangerous at that time, it was not that I deliberately wanted to kill them, and the teaching materials of the Police Academy also require us to try to avoid shooting the suspect's limbs to avoid danger."

"It seems that Noah has educated you well, and you also remember this knowledge very well. I'm not putting you in danger, I'm just asking you to think as much as you can about our police department, a police officer called a butcher will be investigated by the county government committee, and it can't even be ruled out that they will force you to be suspended. You know I'm here to defend you, not to shirk responsibility. ”

"OK, I see, I'll do it."

Jimmy is also helpless, since the arrival of the golden finger, his mentality has changed too much, and now he has a little bit of self-indulgence, for the occasion that has been shot or will definitely be shot, directly killing the other party is the best way to protect himself.

Jimmy came out of the director's office, got his gear, and set out on patrol again.

The promotion didn't bring much convenience to Jimmy, and his daily work was still patrolling, and the kind of police detectives who wore plainclothes in TV series and movies and looked around for clues to solve cases seemed to have nothing to do with him.

In the county police system, only large counties have such positions, and the two systems with the most police detectives are the city police system and the federal police such as the FBI.

If he doesn't plan to change careers or places, even if he is promoted to superintendent, he still has to patrol the road.

When Jimmy was on patrol, the phone rang, and he looked at the caller, it was Frank Moses, and he saved his phone number after the last call.

"Hi Frank. What's the matter? ”

"Hi Jimmy, it's nothing, I just got back from out of town. You know I've just moved here, so I want to do a barbecue, would you like to come and attend? ”

"Of course, but what about time?"

"This Saturday afternoon, in my backyard."

"OK, no problem."

"Then we'll see you then. Goodbye, Jimmy. ”

"Goodbye, Frank."

Jimmy hung up the phone, contemplating why Frank was calling, although the reason was that he had just arrived, but for someone who had just moved in, this kind of barbecue party must be about his neighbors and the people in the neighborhood.

From various relationships, it seems that Jimmy should not be the target of Frank's attention, and Jimmy thinks back to the two previous contacts with Frank, whether there are any details that he did not think of.

A lot of brain cells were wasted, and Jimmy still didn't think of a conclusion, so he had to give up first, and then see the tricks.

Jimmy continues to patrol the road boringly, and since the director has a problem with him, he changes it and focuses on getting things done on the road.

A pickup truck in front was transporting goods, and the stacked boxes were placed very squarely and neatly, but they didn't seem to be tied very tightly, and there was a rope floating in the wind. Jimmy directly turned on the siren of the police lights and signaled the pickup truck to pull over, and the truck driver turned his turn signal and slowly stopped on the side of the road.

Jimmy got out of the car and walked over, the truck driver was an old white man, his hair had thinned, he was wearing a brown-yellow uniform, Jimmy had really seen it, it was the uniform of a ranger at Pinnacle Mountain State Park next to Little Rock, and the armband on his arm also had the word Pinnacle Mountain.

"Hi, good morning, sir. The stop is not because you are violating, the car is driving very well, the main thing is that the protective rope on your compartment is loose, for safety reasons, please come down and sort it out. ”

"Oh, thank you." The old man got out of the car and took a look, and there was a rope that had been loosened and the hem was hanging to the side.

"Thanks, officer, it's good for you to remind you that if something happens it's bad."

"What's in the car? Mind if I take a look? ”

“NO，NO，NO。 Please feel free to do so. Inside are faucets, accessories for wooded areas. The old man replied as he tied the rope.

Jimmy looked at the cargo box, and then didn't find anything else in the gap, and it was over.

"Get sorted out and hit the road, drive carefully, bye-bye."

Jimmy got into the police car and continued to patrol the road.

This old man looks familiar, but he forgot the name, and it is sure that he has seen a movie before. If memory serves, he's related to Frank Moses and another one to watch.

Jimmy thinks that as long as he sees more characters in these movies, he can naturally recall the original movie content and tell what movie it is, so this kind of person must pay attention, so far there are three familiar faces, a Frank Moses, a guy who resembles Thor, and an old man, the only one who knows his identity, the park ranger, and has a chance to find out about him when he goes back.

Jimmy honestly carried out the will of the director, calmly became his patrol officer, managed traffic, issued tickets, and resolutely did not have much to do, and in a blink of an eye, it was Saturday.

Jimmy took a day off, drove to Summerfield at noon that day, arrived at Frank's house, and took out his own gift, a bottle of Silver Creek red wine, this kind of gift Jimmy definitely did not understand, this was from Amy's suggestion, and even the wine was bought by Amy for Jimmy.

"Hi, Jimmy."

"Hi, Frank."

Jimmy handed over the gift, and Frank raised an eyebrow and said, "Good choice, Jimmy, good taste." ”

"Hahaha, I don't know how to drink, let my colleagues help me choose it, I hope you like it."

"Of course, the quality of the red wines at Silver Creek Winery is very good, and it has been very popular in recent years."

Frank welcomed Jimmy in, put the liquor on the shelf, and came out with two beers.

"If you don't go to work today, let's have a bottle."

Jimmy took it, and a bottle of beer wasn't a big problem.

"Who are you inviting today?"

"Some neighbors and old friends in the neighborhood. Let's go, let's go to the backyard. ”

Jimmy's first visit to Frank's backyard has a 10-square-meter swimming pool with grills and parasols already in place next to it.

Frank and Jimmy sit under a parasol and kill time while chatting casually.
