Hank lowered his head and didn't answer, looking even more depressed, but his performance already showed that Jimmy's guess was right.

As for kleptomania, Jimmy only studied it when he was at the Kuanti Academy of Sciences, but the instructor at that time only briefly mentioned that such theft cases have nothing to do with the FBI, and belong to the scope of police management.

Kleptomania is a psychological problem, and this piece of Jimmy is definitely unprofessional, but he has friends who can ask later, and now the key is to solve the current problem first.

Jimmy: "Hank, what's going on now?" What about Mary? ”

Hank: "Temporarily detained in the interrogation room, the store manager also came, and I just offered compensation, but he didn't accept it. ”

Jimmy frowned, "What's going on?" That necklace is valuable? ”

Hank: "No, it's just over a hundred, but the manager doesn't know why he didn't agree to the settlement." ”

Jimmy thought for a moment and said, "I'm not familiar with the NYPD, so I'll find someone to come over and help." You wait for me. ”

Jimmy stepped aside, took out his phone and called Nia, "Nia, do you have any acquaintances here in the Seventh Division?" ”

Nia: "What's wrong?" ”

Jimmy: "My friend's wife stole a necklace of over 100 dollars because of kleptomania, and now the store manager doesn't seem to want to reconcile at all." ”

Nia: "I'll come here, Seventh Division, right?" Wait for me. ”

Jimmy: "Okay. ”

Jimmy turned his head to look at Hank's position, he was still sitting there with his head bowed in frustration, and he could see that out of Albuquerque, he should have no one else to turn to here in New York.

It's just a theft, theoretically there shouldn't be any trouble, wait for Nia to come over and find out the situation, if it's not troublesome, help him deal with it. With Kevin behind her, it shouldn't be a problem for Nia to handle such a small thing.

Jimmy dialed Steven again, "Steven, I found Hank. ”

Steven: "Great, how's he doing?" What happened? ”

Jimmy: "I'll have to wait until we know, I'm just telling you that he's fine." ”

Steven: "Okay, thanks. If you can, please try to help him deal with it. ”

Jimmy: "Well, don't worry, that's it for now. ”

After waiting for a while, Nia and Chuck came over together, and Jimmy was surprised, didn't Chuck already let Nia team up alone? Why are we together again?

Jimmy took two steps, hugged Nia first, and then shook Chuck's hand, "Chuck, why are you here?" ”

Chuck smiled and said, "If I don't come, you're going to be in trouble today." ”

Jimmy looked at him with a frown: "Got an inside story?" ”

Chuck nodded: "Don't worry, I know the situation, let me handle it." Let's go, meet up with your friends. ”

Jimmy walked towards Hank with Nia and Chuck, "Hank, this is Detective Chuck, this is my fiancée Nia, tell Chuck about you, he is familiar with the people here in the NYPD." ”

Hank stood up and reached out to shake hands with Chuck and Nia, "Senior agent Hank Schrader of the DEA, from New Mexico. ”

Hank looked left and right, and several people came to the corner, "My wife and I came to New York for a vacation, and my wife picked up a necklace at a store this morning and didn't check out. When he was out of the store, he was stopped by the security guard and called the police. I was waiting for her outside, but I went in when I saw that something was wrong, and then followed the police to the police station. ”

Chuck: "Have you talked to anyone at the store?" ”

Hank frowned and nodded, "They don't agree to reconcile. ”

Chuck: "Well, I see, you're waiting here. Nia, come with me. ”

Nia patted Jimmy and followed Chuck to the other side of the police station.

Hank's eyes kept on Chuck and Nia, and Jimmy walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Chuck is an old detective, he knows everything well on the NYPD, and he can definitely handle it." ”

I thought it would be soon, but it turned out that after more than half an hour, Chuck and Nia walked over with a brown-haired woman. Hank kept looking over there, and when he saw the woman following behind, he immediately walked over quickly, "Mary, how are you?" ”

Mary hugged Hank and sobbed softly, and the two whispered something, but Jimmy was a little farther away and didn't hear it.

Chuck and Nya didn't stop by their side either, but went straight to Jimmy's side, "It's done, but we still need to make up some formalities." Let's talk about it together when they calm down. ”

Hank and Mary didn't say a few words, and then they walked over, and Hank hugged Jimmy, "Thank you, Jimmy, thank you." ”

Jimmy patted Hank, "Don't be so polite, okay, it's not over yet." Chuck. ”

Chuck nodded: "You need to prepare a psychological evaluation report for today, and it would be best if you had previous treatment records." ”

Hank: "Do you have to provide it?" This requires contacting someone on the Albuquerque side. ”

Chuck: "Yes, the settlement record is needed. ”

Hank: "Okay, I'll get in touch and see if I can get a psychologist." ”

Jimmy: "I'll find it." But let's get out of here. ”

Jimmy and the group left the police station, Nia and Chuck returned to the police station, Jimmy didn't ask Nia how they dealt with it, this is not suitable to ask now, and there will be time to understand when they return in the evening.

Jimmy contacted Dr. Mary, and when he called, he noticed, good fellow, he knew a lot of people named Mary.

Dr. Mary answered the phone, listened to Jimmy's words, and told them to come over after 2 p.m., just in time for lunch and rest.

Jimmy took Hank and Mary downstairs to Dr. Mary's studio, and said as he walked up, "Dr. Mary is a cooperative psychologist in the FBI Manhattan office, a real senior expert, wait and hear what she arranges." ”

Hank: "Don't worry, I understand. ”

Hank's wife, Mary Schrader, was particularly quiet today, and I don't know if she was scared.

Dr. Mary Walter receives Jimmy, who just introduces Mary and leaves the office with Hank, and goes to the fire escape to smoke, leaving Mary Schrader behind.

After a long wait, the two Marys finally ended their conversation, and Hank was called over, contacted by a psychiatrist in Albuquerque, and faxed a copy of Mary Schrader's medical records.

While he was waiting, Jimmy pulled Dr. Mary Walter aside to get a glimpse of what kleptomania was all about.

Academically, kleptomania is a mental health disorder, impulse control disorder, and a disorder involving emotional or behavioral self-control.

This leads to the patient's irresistible urge to steal, which manifests as a repetitive, irresistible urge to steal items that are not usually really needed. Usually the stolen items are of little value and are well within the purchasing.

Kleptomania is not common, but it is a serious condition that, if left untreated, can cause a lot of emotional pain and even legal problems.

People with this disorder often can't resist this very, very strong desire and impulse, they have no control over themselves to steal things, and they reach out even when they understand that it is wrong and illegal.

There is no straightforward answer to the question of what kleptomania causes, but the most common hypotheses are that a family history of kleptomania may increase the risk of kleptomania, and other impulse control disorders such as anxiety, depression, or substance abuse may increase the chances of developing it.

The current data is not perfect, and because the cause of this mental illness is not yet certain, there is no way to prevent it and treat it 100%.

Medications such as cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT and antidepressants may help end the cycle of compulsive theft.

Dr. Mary was a professional and knew that Jimmy was just trying to understand, so he didn't say anything too esoteric, just explained it roughly, and then turned his head to look at Hank and his wife who were guarding the fax machine.

Dr. Mary: "She's not quite right, when we chatted just now, you can see that she is actually quite normal, which means that the previous treatment is effective, and this time it should be stimulated by something, and the kleptomania will recur." ”

Jimmy: "What are the possibilities?" ”

Dr. Mary: "She probably wasn't taking antidepressant medication, and there must have been something that happened before the theft that caused her to have an impulsive desire, which may have happened before entering the store, or it could have happened while picking up merchandise in the store." ”

Jimmy: "In other words, as long as she's not stimulated, she's actually normal, right?" ”

Dr. Mary: "Yes, she's in a good state of mind, but she's a little frightened, and it seems that the experience of going to the police station in the morning is not very good. ”

Jimmy: "Okay, just give me a report." It's a friend of my friend, and it's just a help, so it's not necessary. ”

Mary nodded, she knew what Jimmy meant by needless to say, just deal with it normally.

With the faxed diagnosis records, Mary was busy working on the report, while Jimmy and Hank sat on the couch drinking tea. Jimmy comes here to drink tea, so even though Mary doesn't make tea, he can make it himself, and Dr. Mary won't have any opinion.

After getting the printed report, Mary signed it and handed it to Hank, who thanked him and paid by card, and left the studio with Mary with the report. Jimmy didn't leave, but stayed and talked with Dr. Mary for a while before leaving to return to the FBI office.

Hank: They had already told Jimmy at noon that they would pack up and return to Albuquerque after sending the report to the police station, and Jimmy had said that he wanted to send it, but they politely declined.

If something like this happens, Jimmy can also understand their feelings, no one expected the vacation to turn into a police station tour, they are definitely not in the mood to continue traveling now, it is better to go home and have a good rest.

Hank invited Jimmy to have time to go to Albuquerque, and Jimmy nodded and agreed, and Steven also wanted to contact him, and he could go there if he had time, as long as he had time.

Speaking of which, the gap between the DEA and the FBI is really big, and I learned during the noon chat that Hank didn't have anyone familiar with the DEA's New York branch, and there was basically not much communication between their various branches, especially the agents below.

The sudden occurrence of such an incident made Jimmy wander outside for almost the rest of the day, but he was nothing to do now, and it was not a waste of time.

After going back to the office to greet Isabel, Jimmy continued to go back to his place to start designing the event, Kevin gave him two difficult tasks, at least one of them had to be done by himself, as for the policy support of the bureau, this was really no way.

——

Jimmy's side has been thinking about himself for days on end, and Hughes and Peter have not stopped their investigation.

Peter and Neil analyzed that the key was not unlocked, but a miniature model of the building, and found the location of the box hiding the evidence according to the shape of the key, which was in the Empire State Building, but the specific location of the hiding has not yet been determined, and it is necessary to continue to search for verification.

Hughes still couldn't swallow this breath, and after being swept away by the FBI headquarters, he contacted an acquaintance in the NSA to help monitor his office phone in the bureau, and was just a whim to know how the supervisor who came later arranged it, but unexpectedly found that the new director, Amanda Callaway, got the information about the evidence hiding from Peter's conversation, and called Senator Pratt to inform him.

This was really a surprise, Hughes thought about it after getting the phone recording from the USB flash drive from his friend, and decided to give it to Peter, so that he could be mentally prepared.

When Hughes and Peter heard the content of the phone call in the cafeteria, Peter was not well, and the new supervisor Calaway not only stopped all the bureau's investigations against Senator Pratt, but even notified the senator of the results of their private investigation.

And this phone call record also shows the position of Director Callaway, she is the nail that Senator Pratt planted in the FBI's Manhattan office, just to mess up the deployment here and get Senator Pratt out of danger.

Now that Callaway has just arrived, it is the time for her to establish her authority, and Peter and the others have to avoid the edge for a while and be honest for a few days. However, Neil and the others still had a harvest, and through analysis, they finally determined that the evidence was on the 50th floor, and all that was left was to find a way to get a scanner to scan the ceiling and floor to determine the specific location, and then dig it out.

One thing to say, for this kind of stealing of chickens and dogs, Neil and his group of criminals are all geniuses, and they really successfully used the cleaner's floor scrubber to put the scanner in, and then found the box in the floor of the 50th floor.

However, because the scanner was loaned by the FBI, the FBI's technicians were able to recover the data inside the scanner and successfully obtain the location, which allowed Callaway to notify Senator Pratt, and all the people involved arrived at the corresponding floor of the Empire State Building at the same time.
