124 Causes
James explained to Jimmy his reasons for arranging the baptism, and Jimmy was a little confused when he received so much information.
The butcher's nickname has spread widely, and Jimmy has indeed never been regulated by a psychiatrist, he has his own scruples in this regard, after all, he has a lot of secrets, not only his current identity, but most importantly, the secret of his rebirth.
In case the psychiatrist pulls out something that shouldn't be said, the rest of the matter will be troublesome.
Although Jimmy has a certain confidence in himself and can keep it secret, the psychiatrist in the movies and TV series used to be too powerful, whether it is to observe words and emotions or dig privacy, Jimmy can't control it.
Director James is really for Jimmy's good, in American society, if you are a believer, then there are many things that people will make up their own reasons to excuse themselves, if you are an atheist, then it is a little troublesome.
Jimmy is not white, he is Chinese, and if he were a believer, many people would consider him one of their own, and if he still claimed to be an atheist, then he would probably be considered a kink, misfit, discriminated against, or regarded as an enemy.
Jimmy looked at James and asked a question he had wanted to answer for a long time: "James, why me?" ”
James was a little surprised, he raised his head slightly and looked at the sky. After a while, James said, "I think maybe it's God's will." ”
James: "My father fought in a war that took place in Asia, after the end of World War II. In that war, he and many of his comrades were taken prisoner, but it was this capture that allowed him to see a completely different world.
When the war ended, he and the other captured soldiers returned, but the damage caused by the war was so severe that the whole society was unfair to them. He didn't care about other people's opinions about the experience of being captured, and he never forgot the original experience.
For so many years, I didn't understand my father until you came last year.
I never thought I'd have a Chinese subordinate, and after more than two months of observation, I admit that what my father has been obsessing with may be true, and you are really completely different from what we knew before.
Maybe it's God's arrangement, Tom wants to find a reliable Asian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, as his friend, my police station just happens to have a Chinese auxiliary policeman, and you, too, happened to do the right thing.
So I mentioned you to Tom, and you all know about it after that. ”
Jimmy thinks back to what happened after he arrived at the police station, right and wrong, before he became a police officer, it should have been the hospital arrest that he thought was credited to him.
Jimmy: "You're talking about the arrest of the inmates in the hospital?" Why is it right and wrong? ”
James: "Jimmy, you weren't a cop at the time, and you injured him, understand?" ”
Jimmy was dumbfounded, in his impression, during the training, it was true that the auxiliary police were only responsible for maintaining order and other things, but this kind of prisoner appeared in front of him, and then he arrested the other party, and it was a violation? Even if it is a passer-by and catches a suspect, it can be regarded as a righteous and courageous act. Why couldn't I start when I was an auxiliary policeman?
James: "Looks like you've got the key questions in mind. Yes, at that time, I just didn't want you to get into trouble, and I didn't think that after you became a policeman, you would be so beautiful, and this year's achievements have far exceeded everyone's imagination. ”
James: "Jimmy, you're a good boy, and that's been proven by more than a year of experience, integrity, kindness, intelligence, bravery, but not pedantic, and not turning into a black cop.
What all of us have to say about you is proof of that, and I'm glad I did this for you in the first place, in exchange for the brightest superstar in the police department now. ”
James: "You're doing a great job, but there will always be people who will target you for various reasons, and now I'm just helping you make up for your last shortcomings, and after becoming a believer, for many people, you're no longer an outsider, but your own person." As for your ethnicity, for certain political groups, it will not be a minus, but will be your advantage. ”
Jimmy: "Thank you, James, and thank you from the bottom of my heart. ”
James: "Go to the confessional room and make up for it." After that, just come and pray once a Sunday and let other people know you. It doesn't need to last long, a month or two is enough. If there is another thing that kills someone, you can also come here directly to confess. ”
Jimmy walked into the church, and through the small door that Father Royette had just passed through, he came to the inside of the church, where there was a confessional room, and Jimmy entered the room on the right, and Father Royette was already waiting for him on the left.
The confessional chamber is a small wooden house, divided into two small rooms, the left and right, separated by a hollow wooden plank, and the priest and the confessor on both sides.
Jimmy recounted his first few killings and asked for the Lord's forgiveness. In order to have a reason to run over in the future, let's wait for the later kill record, it's too scary to talk about it at once.
And after restoring that Lord Jimmy will forgive you, Father Royette handed a small badge through the hole in the middle of the confession and left the confession.
Jimmy walked out of the church with the badge and James still standing outside.
James: "Got it?" ”
Jimmy: "Well, he gave me this. ”
Jimmy showed the badge to James, the badge was a copper base, and in the middle was a cross, bare and unadorned, James took a look at it and said, "This is the monk's badge, keep it well, it will be useful." (There is no such thing in reality, it is purely convenient to identify the identity fabrication)
With that, James turned around and walked to his car, and Jimmy put away the badge, walked to his car as well, and drove back to the apartment.
Jimmy finally solved a mystery that had plagued him for a long time, but he didn't expect James to be so special to him, because someone in his family participated in the war, which changed his impression of the Chinese.
Although they are two worlds, this world still exists, and obviously the history is still similar, although James did not say it, but the Olympics may also exist.
This can be regarded as figuring out the reason why Tom said that Jimmy should be grateful to James, there is really no special conspiracy here, but by chance, he encountered James's little compassion, and under the influence of multiple factors, Jimmy has come to this point.
Jimmy turned on the computer and began to search for Catholic information from the Internet, the most important thing is to familiarize himself with the Bible and the church, although this time it is a condensed version of the baptism, which is also baptism, and he has been a nominal Catholic since then.
If you don't know anything about the church and the content of the Bible, you will probably be stripped of your name.
After a little searching, Jimmy decided to go out and go to the bookstore to buy a Bible and read it at home. The main thing is that there are too many religion-related things, and if you just read the information from the Internet, there is a chance that you will jump into the pit, and it is better to read books.
When Jimmy arrived at the bookstore, he had his eyes opened. The bookstore is not very large, and the shelves are full of books of all kinds in an orderly manner.
Although he hadn't been to the bookstore a few times in his previous life, he probably knew that the bookstore sold all kinds of books, but the bookstore he came to, all kinds of Bible and religious books alone (this category is covered by the Life label) accounted for nearly half of the shelves.
Jimmy had a headache just looking at these various versions of the Bible, and finally had to buy an English version of the Catholic Bible and a palm-sized version on the recommendation of the store staff.
Jimmy's life has been filled with a bit of a task since then, and he needs to familiarize himself with the Bible as quickly as possible, not by memorizing it, but at least by knowing what's in it.
After a while, the police department provided Jimmy with a right that Jimmy did not want, and his police car and accompanying equipment could be driven home after work, on the grounds that Jimmy could support others in an emergency, rather than having to return to the police station and set off again.
Jimmy really wanted to have enough personal time after work, and now it suddenly collapsed, wearing a police uniform to go out in a police car to and from work, and bringing a full set of equipment with him, the only benefit may be a salary increase, because of the near-round-the-clock support, Jimmy's salary has increased significantly.
Jimmy himself has a parking space, and now his Mercury tracker is still parked there, what to do with the police car coming and his own car? Jimmy goes straight to Amy and asks the police department for reimbursement for renting another parking space, and then unsurprisingly gets blasted out.
Jimmy gritted his teeth and parked his car directly in the parking lot of the police station, and when he didn't move, he used the police car as a private car in the future, just to save gas money.
At the end of the day, Jimmy drove back to the apartment in the police car, and had a bit of a fight with the parking lot manager before changing the license plate registration.
Wearing a police uniform into the apartment, it also caused a little riot, this kind of apartment building, the people in it actually do everything, a policeman lives next to it, I didn't find it before, forget it, this came back directly in a police uniform, and brought a full set of equipment and two guns, Jimmy can already guess that in recent times, there may be some residents who will consider changing places.
It's not that Jimmy doesn't know that there are violations next to him, but there are too many such things in the United States, and he can't control them, and he goes home at work time, so how can he be in the mood to care, what do you like.
Now it's a trouble, if he wears a police uniform to and from work, and just happens to run into a violation, it doesn't matter what, it's not pleasing to both sides.
Jimmy wants to change places more and more, and when he has almost enough money, he will hurry up and buy a house.
At 10:30 p.m., Jimmy's phone rang, and he was going out to work overtime after returning from the police car on the first day.
The dispatch center called Jimmy's cell phone directly, and there was a random shooting in the South District of Little Rock, and LRPD South District police officers are currently cordoning off a 3-kilometer block around the incident site, and LRPD asked police officers near South District to go to the scene to support. By the way, Jimmy's apartment is now renting in the south-of-town area, and the county sheriff's headquarters is in the middle of the city.
This kind of eucalyptus Jimmy really doesn't like it, because the county police and LRPD use the same dispatch center, so the number of cross-departmental support is really much, if it is a designated place to support, it is simpler, most of them need to use some force, a small part is to do backup support, if there is no accident, it is equivalent to driving over to rest.
And today's random street shootings are basically looking for suspects in the area, which is time-consuming and prone to accidents.
Now that the dispatch center has been notified, Jimmy can't help it, so he changes into a police uniform at home, takes his equipment to the parking lot, and drives to the southern district.
There are a lot of random shootings on the streets of the United States, some of them are drunk or drugged, some are showing off their guns and then go off, some are revenge on society, and some are really bad brains in order to find excitement.
Usually the cases that are reported by the public have serious consequences such as the death or disability of the victim, but in fact, more random shooting cases are just suspects driving on the road and shooting at people on the side of the road outside, and then running away, the victims are also ordinary gunshot wounds, and there is no danger to life, and even many shooting cases have no victims, they are just frightened, because the prisoner's marksmanship is not good, and they hit the ground or wall, so they just call the police, but they are not widely spread.
According to the description of the police, it was determined to be a black or gray Ford Mustang muscle car, because of the lack of light, there was no way to determine the color of the car, but the model can be determined. This is also the only clue, this time there were no victims, the people of the Mustang co-pilot shot at the interface, no one was injured, and they all flew away.
LRPD officers have started the blockade from the street 3 kilometers outside, hoping to find the car in the blockade area, but due to the lack of traffic cameras here in the southern suburbs, it is impossible to confirm the direction of the vehicle in most places in the middle.
Jimmy drives a police car into the blockade and begins to look in circles along the block road. After searching several blocks and finding no target Ford Mustang, Jimmy contacts the dispatch center via radio and asks to continue to expand the area to investigate traffic surveillance. From the time the police notify the police to the time the police start to block this area, if you drive a little faster, you may indeed run out, 3 kilometers is not a particularly long distance.
Other police cars also searched the area, only Jimmy searched for more than 20 minutes, and other police officers who arrived earlier had already searched the neighborhood within 3 kilometers several times, but nothing was found.
In the end, the LRPD had no choice but to give up, and all officers returned to their positions and continued their duties.
This is really helpless, road traffic monitoring has appeared for many years, but the United States has not been able to cover every intersection, some reasons are cost problems, but the biggest problem is the so-called political correctness, in order to protect the so-called privacy, every time there is an application for installation, there will always be various people with various reasons to obstruct.
The problem of technological development, there are not enough private cameras, as well as mobile phone cameras, and this kind of eucalyptus that happens on the road is fleeting, and in many cases, even if there are witnesses, they may not be able to clearly describe the characteristics of the prisoners. A large part of the reason why random shootings are difficult to break is because of these reasons.
Jimmy also stopped the search and drove the police car back to the apartment, on the way Jimmy was still watching other cars, in case he could find the target, it would be considered an unexpected bonus, although Jimmy did not have law enforcement powers, but it was good to be able to break the suspect and catch him.
However, Jimmy's luck is not as good as it used to be, and he doesn't see any black or gray mustangs all the way home.
