Chapter 690: Wave after Wave

Irene didn't hand the information to her father, but handed it to Jack first, "The bad news is that we still have two big problems left, Garth Carryvor, a copper fetish, who has violated a child three times, a felony of the first degree, and the judge is still hesitant to drop the charges." ”

"You're saying that this thing will be released too?" Jack opened the folder, glanced at it a few times, and took out the relevant file and handed it to Frank.

"How do you think the judge will decide?" Frank took the file and looked through it with a frown.

Erin showed a not-so-optimistic expression, "While this guy does worry me, I'm more worried about this Dick Reed. ”

Hearing the name, Frank let out a heavy breath from his nose, obviously impressed.

Jack had heard of this man for the first time, and the remaining three-quarters of the folder was about his case file, a serial rapist and murderer.

"So this Dick, his real name and not his nickname?" Jack's question made Erin roll her eyes.

"Three innocent women were brutally tortured, cut, burned, repeatedly raped, and sexually abused before they were killed, and there were several cases of missing women suspected of having something to do with him, but because no bodies were found."

Erin glanced at the file that Jack had opened, and although she had handled the case herself, seeing the photos and incriminating evidence again still made her feel strongly uncomfortable as a woman.

"It's really adding fuel to the fire." Frank muttered that he could already foresee tomorrow's headlines.

"We don't have a lot of leverage, he's a very smart pervert, he's very cautious in his crimes, and CSI convicted him through DNA evidence of a small amount of saliva left on his body, and the only way now is for Becky Swatch to come forward and testify against him in the new trial."

Erin looked at Jack as she said the name and explained, "Becky was the only survivor of Dick Reed's men, and she was tortured for 19 hours before she managed to escape by using the flames of the candle to break the rope.

I went to her three times to persuade her to testify in court, but "

"Understandable." Jack flipped out the photo of the victim and could see that this was a sweet-looking girl with a slightly literary temperament, twenty-five or sixteen years old, in the prime of her youth.

And on the photo in his hand, the girl has two long bloody stab wounds on the left cheek, not to mention the scars on her body and other parts, "This is a strong girl." ”

Although Erin said that she refused to testify in court, Jack still gave the above assessment, and the fact that she was able to hold on for 19 hours with such a wound and finally find a chance to escape from the magic of Dick Reed was enough to show that this girl had a strong willpower that did not match her seemingly delicate body.

Frank agrees, "Thanks to the clues she provided, we were able to find Reed, and we can't ask too much of her." ”

"I'm just sorry that Dick Reed actually gave up his resistance the first time he saw the police, it seems that as you said, this guy is indeed a cunning beast."

Jack's implication made Erin frown subconsciously, but she did not directly express her rejection of the so-called "excessive use of force" by the police or the debate on human rights for a set of criminals as Jack did when she attended the Reagan family party for the first time.

It seems that the quarrel between Erin and Danny was more of a way for the brother and sister to exchange feelings, and this eldest lady has always had the blood of the Reagan family in her bones, not the disgusting white left.

"I'll keep Danny on this Reed, and you, my dear, I'm sure you'll find enough evidence to convict him."

Strangely, when Frank said this, his eyes remained on Jack.

The problem is that none of the words in the Director's words have anything to do with him, Jack's eyes keep wandering over the faces of the father and daughter in front of him, Frank looks solemn, and Erin looks as confused as herself.

"Ahem!" Frank coughed lightly, opened the drawer of his desk, took out a wooden box from it and placed it on the table, "Jack, I heard that you will soon be leading a team alone, what do you think of this gift?" ”

Although it felt that the topic had suddenly changed a little abruptly, Jack still opened the gun case curiously, only to see a big guy lying inside.

"This is the Sig Sauer P320?" But this size is a little wrong, he pressed the magazine release button with some confusion, and the magazine slid very smoothly into the palm of his hand, and then skillfully pulled the sleeve to keep it in an empty compartment hang-up state, and then took out a bullet from the magazine and studied it carefully.

"This is a .40 pistol round? No, it's a fully charged 10mm Auto ammunition, not even a reduced charge 'FBI load'? Jack was a little surprised, it didn't look like a police thing would be equipped by a police officer.

Frank smiled and nodded, "The model of this gun is Sig Sauer P320-XTen, it is indeed a ten-millimeter caliber, someone tried to sell this pistol to the NYPD, but it is clear that the power of this gun is somewhat excessive, considering that the FBI has been equipped with pistols of this caliber, I left you a batch of samples." ”

The FBI did once equip 10mm Auto rounds as standard pistol rounds, and this incident originated in 1986, when eight FBI field agents and two Florida brothers met in a narrow way and fired 150 rounds in five minutes.

The end result was that although the FBI won, it was a pyrrhic victory, although the two Florida brothers were killed on the spot, but two FBI agents were also killed in the line of duty, and the other five were injured, four of them were seriously injured and one was lightly injured.

This incident was once rated as the most failed operation in the history of the FBI, and made the FBI suffer from a severe phobia of insufficient firepower, directly selected the 10mm Auto bullet as the standard pistol cartridge, and uniformly issued the Smith & Wesson 1076 pistol.

However, the level of firearm design at that time was not enough to suppress the recoil of this large-caliber ammunition, and then the FBI had to customize a batch of 10mm Auto bullets with reduced charges, which is also the origin of Jack's "FBI payload".

Then Smith & Wiesen saw an opportunity and simply shrunk the cartridge from the 10mm Auto cartridge to create the .40 S&W pistol cartridge.

At the same time, the Glock Company also joined in the excitement and launched a Glock 20 pistol with a 10mm caliber, but after the introduction of the new 9mm pistol cartridge, the heat gradually subsided, because the latter also had a good stopping effect and a larger ammunition capacity.

After that, the 10mm pistol bullet was basically only used for hunting purposes, after all, the power of hitting two-legged beasts was too strong to be suitable, but it was just right to fight four-legged beasts.

However, with the increasing number of bipeds who have exploded their combat effectiveness after taking drugs over the years, the popularity of 10mm caliber pistol cartridges has risen again, and it seems reasonable that some people try to sell pistols of this caliber to the NYPD.

Jack naturally doesn't think that a dignified NYPD director is helping the arms company to do some sales, after all, even if his squad is officially established, there are only two or three kittens, how many guns can be used?

So it's a gift, maybe a small thank you for helping to solve the internal problems of the NYPD, but it's a little intriguing to take it out at this time.
