Chapter 695: Copycats
The two men smoke a cigar by the river and go their separate ways, and Jack goes to the magistrate's office to pick up Erin, then accompanies her to pick up her daughter from school, and finally takes them to Regan's villa, which is Frank's home, where they will stay for the rest of the day.
The days lasted for three days, and the mood of the citizens of New York City became more and more uneasy, because from time to time there were reports in the media that some released criminals were committing crimes again.
The New York Police Department has also tried its best, although it is impossible to monitor all those criminals, but a few of the more concerned ones have always been under relatively close surveillance.
Danny clocked in to work every day, making a morning and evening trip to Dick Reed's mother's house, and although there was Detective 24 standing guard around the house, he was still a little uneasy.
In addition to making him feel sick, the psychological profile made him feel sick, but also made him believe that the real Maja Faker would definitely commit the crime again.
On weekend afternoons, Jack drove to Frank's villa, he was here to pick up Erin to go to the Attorney's Office, today was the Reagan family's usual weekend dinnertime, he had also received an invitation, but he was busy with the renovation of the future office in the past two days.
The two-story building between JFK Airport and Long Beach once belonged to an unpopular insurance company and has been in ruins since it was dumped by the FBI for a fraud case.
Jack didn't know exactly how the property of the small building got into the hands of the FBI, but it was obvious that it had been idle for at least seven or eight years, and there were no problems with the main structure, and everything including windows, partition walls, pipelines, etc., needed to be repaired or even reinstalled.
Although Dana Moge gave him more than half a year, considering the work efficiency of Lao Mei's side, Jack really didn't dare to delay time, and urged the people in the logistics department to quickly find a construction company and start producing drawings.
After working for most of the day today and finally finalizing the plan, he hurried to Frank's house, only to find that the atmosphere of the family was not quite right as soon as he entered the door.
Linda went out with the old man Henry and a few children after eating, James Reagan was in a hurry to date his girlfriend, took a picture with Jack and left in a hurry, and went into the kitchen, and the remaining Reagan were all hanging their heads and listlessly cleaning up the scraps there.
"What's wrong?" Everyone knew each other well now, and Jack didn't have anything to worry about, so he asked bluntly.
"It's obviously because I'm not competent enough as the director." Frank laughed at himself.
"Dad" Erin hugged his arm and squeezed, while Danny helped explain.
It turned out to be the aftermath of the DNA physical evidence incident, because the family was either a police officer or a prosecutor, and this week was not light, and even the youngest son James Regan, who was still a patrol officer, was tired enough because of the sudden increase in 911 police calls.
As a result, the atmosphere was a little too quiet during the family meal, and as a result, Danny's two sons and Erin's daughter were disrupted by a few fairy tales.
Then James Reagan began to complain about the irritation of this round-the-clock surveillance of a group of criminals who knew they were guilty but were released into society because of procedural problems, and questioned when it was a good idea to do so, and then Erin and Danny started to talk as usual, and finally the already upset Frank got angry before the crowd stopped.
Jack shook his head speechlessly, this is also the daily routine of a family that loves each other, and the way this family communicates their feelings is so special, "I thought you would exchange some good news, didn't Erin just get rid of one of the bastards?" ”
Jack's words immediately intrigued Danny, "What did my dear sister do?" ”
Frank also turned his head to look at his daughter with a slightly pale, "Is it that copper fetish?" Have you found new evidence? ”
"I have a basis under the relevant provisions of the Mental Health Act. He was forcibly detained in civil detention. Erin Balabala said a lot, and everyone, including Frank, frowned.
"Please speak English." Danny's brows furrowed into words, speaking for everyone in the room.
"I got two psychiatrists to prove that he was sick and then put him in a psychiatric hospital." A smug smile appeared on Erin's face.
Danny's mouth opened in a funny way, "Hell, who are you?" Where are your sisters who respect human rights and oppose abuse of power? ”
Frank was as eccentric as ever, "Well done, dear, you're getting more flexible now." ”
Unconvinced, Danny was about to continue arguing with Erin when a cell phone ringtone interrupted him, "yes, what's wrong?" Damn, I'll be there right away. ”
"What's wrong?" Seeing that he picked up his coat and was about to go out, Frank asked with concern.
"A woman was found in the public restroom at Columbia Park with a scratch on her face in a manner similar to that of Dick Reed." Danny said and looked at Jack, apparently hoping that he would go with him.
Frank's face sank again, "I thought your people had taken a look at him, Jack, you should also go and have a look, and I'll take Erin to the office later."
Oh, and remember, come to my office with Ms. Moree tomorrow morning, and some things should come to a conclusion. ”
——
When the two arrived at the park, the place of the incident had been cordoned off, and the ambulance had also arrived at the scene, and the murdered woman had been put on a stretcher, but fortunately there was no danger to her life.
"The method of murder is the same, and the way of binding is similar, Jack, what do you think?" Danny turned his head and asked.
Jack sighed, "Obviously, Dick Reed has a copycat, although the scratches are similar in shape, but the wound is too shallow and not decisive enough, it looks like a novice did it, and the most important thing is that the victim has not been sexually assaulted." ”
Danny nodded to indicate that the hero was seeing the same thing, "I just called, and the detective in charge of keeping an eye said that the mother who messed with Falker hadn't been out of the house since last night and had been in his mother's house. ”
"Now those media are going to party again, and we have to find a way to check the identities of the fans who picked up Dick Reed at the station that day."
Jack had a headache, he didn't seem to see a camera nearby at the station that day, it seems that he was going to deal with those media reporters, they should have taken some pictures.
Danny suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and smiled mysteriously at him, "Anyway, when he was released from prison that day, that kid was empty-handed, and he didn't have a backpack or a box, right?" ”
"Huh? That's right. Jack didn't know why he asked.
"So guess where those fan letters from him will be now?" Danny, hey, hey, straight.
"In prison, of course, wow, it seems that there is more than one person in the Reagan family who has opened his mind." Jack couldn't help but quip.
