"I think it seems like a good way to get the word out, but in recent years, with the stirring up of some people, the NYPD's image among ordinary citizens, especially minorities and low-income people, has plummeted.

And Mr. Cassel seems to have been selling well, and his book fans, from Mr. Mayor to the janitor of the apartment, don't mind if he's willing to sign some liability clause for personal safety. ”

Frank's words made Jack secretly relieved, although Cassel always looked unreliable, and people in their early 40s lived like a teenager under 20 to act recklessly.

But it is undeniable that this is also the charm of his personality, and Jack really can't hate this guy.

It is said that a man is a teenager until he dies, and if he thinks about the high-ranking Director Reagan in front of him, he would rather find a female reporter to have an underground affair than find a serious wife to continue the strings, not all for the sake of pursuing excitement.

Of course, Frank didn't know that someone was secretly slandering him in his heart, and several men talked about the previous case again, and soon Linda and Erin, who were cleaning up in the kitchen, joined in, and just as everyone was coming up with ideas, Jack's cell phone finally rang.

"Tampa City is also a Catholic family girl Okay, I see, thank you, Garcia."

Jack hung up the phone and met Danny's expectant eyes, and couldn't help but smile at him, "My colleague at BAU compared Donald Bens's past whereabouts with the local unsolved case, guess what she found?" ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on him, Jack didn't sell it anymore.

"There is an unsolved case in Tampa, Florida, the disappearance of a girl, a little girl about Teresa's age, from a Catholic family, and the local police have not been able to find the body so far, five years ago, when Donald Bens lived there."

Danny had a look of excitement on his face, "Great, it can't be such a coincidence, I'm going to call Tampa City to see if I can get the case records and news reports at the time, and I will definitely find clues to prove this guy's guilt." ”

"No, just go back to the police station and find a printer connected to the computer, and she will send us all the information." Jack got up and prepared to take his leave.

"Feel free to call me if you need any resources." Frank waved at the two of them, motioning for them to hurry.

"Wait, little sister, I said what we can do." Danny clenched his fist and waved his arm at Erin as he left, looking like he was in victory.

——

"How many more, exactly." Danny blankly moves the second printer, which had been damaged by overheating, and replaces it with a new one.

"Well, it's almost over, there's only the last two hundred or so pages, but there are still some recordings of inquiries, and I need to find a few more people to listen."

Jack, who was sitting in front of the computer and printing materials, didn't expect that there would be so many, and it was quite easy to watch Jiejie sort out those case materials before, and a few document bags were filled.

But after thinking about it, all I saw was preliminary work, and when the case was closed, it seemed that it was also the busiest time for Jiejie, with a large number of documents, on-site inventory records, on-site photos, etc.

It can be seen that the work of the Tampa police at that time was actually quite meticulous, and the inventory records were packed in three cardboard boxes, in addition to third-party materials such as reports from various local media before and after the crime.

Danny directly mobilized the entire office of detectives to help, and each was assigned a cardboard box to look for clues that could link the case to Donald Bens.

After a busy night's work, the detectives in the office were all dizzy and blind, and the two who were wearing headphones to listen to the recording were unconsciously falling asleep, and the smell of smoke in the fire escape was wafting through the corridor and filling the entire office.

"Hey guys, come on, wake up, it's been less than half a day since that bastard of Donald Bens swaggered out of the detention center."

Danny walked into the office with a full plate of coffee and bags of doughnuts on his arm, "Did you find anything?" ”

"I see you're ghosted now, man." His female partner, Jackie, who had the same name as Jack, held her chin up, and the eyeshadow around her eyes was smeared to her temples.

Jack put down his phone, he had just sent a message to Hannah, explaining why he couldn't pick her up at the airport, and continued to pick up the copy of the newspaper in his hand and read it.

"Hey, look who this is!" Danny put down his coffee and looked at the office door with a look of surprise.

"He's there!" With a sweet and lovely cheer, a small figure threw herself into Danny's arms.

"How are you? Cutie. Danny bent down and hugged the little girl Teresa, and Jack on the side couldn't help but smile at his aunt.

"I made you a cake." Teresa gestured to her mother, who was following her.

"Wow, look what this is? A cake? Did you do it yourself? Danny took a cake wrapped in plastic wrap from Mrs. Campos and was pleasantly surprised to find that his name was written on it with chocolate sauce.

Teresa nodded shyly and shyly returned to her mother's side.

"Thank you for saving our children." It was as if Mrs. Campos had changed, no longer the sad and desperate middle-aged woman, her face was full of joy and gratitude.

"As long as she gets home safely." Danny's old face also smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Thank you very much." Mrs. Campos held Danny's hand tightly, tears in her eyes.

"Hey, Teresa, do you want to walk around NYPD's headquarters? Jaeki, can you show them around? Seeing Teresa nodding vigorously, Danny beckoned to Gee.

Naturally, Jie Ji stepped forward and took the little girl's hand, "Come on, little girl, Danny still has something to do, shall we come back to him later?" ”

"Seeing this makes it feel like it's worth it, doesn't it?" Jack joked that this guy usually looks like a tough guy, but a little girl of seven or eight years old can make him feel helpless.

"It would be nice if we could not let that pervert of Donald Bens go unpunished, and once this guy is free, I don't know how many more girls there will be." Danny put away his smile and looked sad again.

Jack leaned back in his chair, picked up the copy of the newspaper again, and muttered, "There's always a way, there's always be."

The next moment, his eyes were drawn to the photo in the newspaper, "Danny, do you remember that necklace on Donald Bens' wife when she visited her that night?" ”

"What necklace? You mean the pearl-encrusted cross she kept in her hand? Danny leaned his head over.

"Look at this picture, do you think it looks familiar?" Jack showed a copy of the newspaper in front of him.

Although the photographs in the newspaper were a little blurry, and the facial features of the missing girl could barely be seen after scanning and printing, the cross necklace hanging from the girl's chest could still be vaguely discerned from the round pearl-like inlays on it.

"Looks like we're going to have to visit this Mrs. Bens again."
