American Detective: Starting as a Rookie Cop in an American TV Show

Chapter 1304: Detective Doudou Appears

The next morning, Jack went to the Federal Building and spent most of the morning chatting with Dana Moger in her office.

The female boss did not express any objection to Jubal and everyone else's ideas. As a senior FBI official, she had a slightly different perspective on such matters.

Dana Moger agreed with Jack's judgment that there is currently no so-called "shadow government" that can secretly manipulate the country. Otherwise, are those companies and consortiums that wave large sums of money every year and use lobbying groups to influence members of Congress all fake?

The contradiction between the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party is becoming increasingly acute, almost to the point of life and death, and this is definitely not an illusion.

Although the current situation is not as life-and-death as in Jack's previous life, and the policies of the Elephant Party are not too radical, the undercurrents are felt privately by almost all the middle and upper levels of the Federation.

The big guy Jack Reacher's brother who used to work in the Secret Service once complained to Jack privately that their jobs nowadays are quite difficult and it is even scary for the President to go to the golf course to play a game of golf.

The problem is that just because it doesn't exist today doesn't mean it won't appear in the future, since Harold Finch was able to invent a "machine" and add a backdoor to it.

Will someone else invent similar AI and try to use it for other purposes?

Finch designed the "machine" as a black box due to his natural distrust of government departments and his moral conscience, but that was because his name was Harold Finch.

Putting aside the question of whether the "machine" will one day evolve to break through itself or bypass those restrictions to become "Skynet", it would be very scary if other forces mastered similar technology and also obtained certain permissions.

Although the NSA claims to be the largest federal agency and is responsible for collecting and analyzing foreign and domestic communications data, it is not the only NSA that has access to those hardware backdoors.

Apart from anything else, the FBI also holds some authority, and given Rossi and Dana Moger's current positions in the FBI, there is still no guarantee that they will be aware of all secret projects.

Someone once said that when you find one cockroach in your kitchen, it means there are more.

Now that Jack's information has been confirmed, the investigation into the company called "Decima Technologies" will be conducted quickly, comprehensively, and in a highly secretive manner.

According to the response plan determined by the few people in the secret meeting in the "SCIF" before, if it is confirmed to be necessary, they will eliminate all hidden dangers at all costs from the physical level.

Of course, it hasn't reached that point yet. What Jack needs to do now is just to cooperate with Finch to gain a deeper understanding of the operating logic of the "machine" and assess its degree of danger.

After communicating with Dana Moger, Jack went out and bought two Mexican tacos. While eating, he walked to the Supreme Court to meet Reese.

While he was reporting the intelligence, a CIA agent had been following Diane Hansen for the entire morning.

When Jack arrived, a trial had just ended. He found Reese hiding by the stairs, pretending to play with his cell phone.

"What did you find?" Jack asked casually as he handed the other person a taco and a bottle of water.

Reese nodded in thanks, tore open the wrapper, and finished the entire taco in just three or two bites. He replied incoherently, "Lawrence Pope said almost nothing during the trial, as if he had already pleaded guilty. I feel something is wrong."

Although Person of Interest has a long plot, it is still a unit drama. Jack only watched the first three seasons roughly, and when he wanted to catch up, he had already traveled through time, so he could hardly have any specific impression of the individual cases in it. He only vaguely remembered that there was a very exciting reversal in the first episode, but he could not remember where the reversal was.

Reese felt something was wrong, so there must be something wrong, but the information of ongoing cases was confidential, and many materials were still in paper form before being archived.

It is not difficult for Jack to get these materials. Even if they are not within the FBI's jurisdiction, he can get them by going to the NYPD headquarters to find Director Reagan.

But doing so would cause too much noise and could easily alert the suspects. For example, the media was too lazy to even report a fight between street drug dealers that resulted in five deaths. Even the director personally intervened and scared people away.

Jack vaguely remembered that Reese's main enemy in the early days was a gang leader who wanted to rule the entire New York underworld, and there was also a corrupt police organization within the NYPD.

He was not worried about the former at all, but he still had to consider Director Reagan's face when dealing with the latter.

You should know that when Frank Reagan dealt with the "Blue Templar" who killed the Reagan family's eldest son, he chose to catch the big one and let the small one go.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Jack will let the other party go, but the final decision on how to deal with the matter will definitely depend on Director Reagan's opinion. As for killing someone during the investigation for reasons such as self-defense, that is another matter.

"Any other discoveries?" Jack glanced at the corridor. Diane Hansen seemed to have had an argument with someone there, but because the court had just adjourned, there were many people coming and going, blocking his view.

Reese opened the water bottle and took a sip, "Not yet."

Jack noticed that he had a Bluetooth headset on his right ear and thought, "Finch has already taken over her phone?"

Reese nodded, took off the headphones and handed them to him. After Jack put them on, he heard Diane Hansen talking to the other party.

"Detective, your description in your testimony was a bit exaggerated, and you never mentioned that conversation to me, which may lead to Pope's exoneration."

"I think you are being too cautious. We caught him in the act."

"Of course it matters. My job is to make sure the bad guys go to jail."

"I'm sorry, I thought we were on the same side."

It sounded like the atmosphere of this conversation was not very pleasant. The detective who was talking to Diane Hansen turned around and left after saying this, heading towards where Jack and Reese were.

Therefore, it was natural for Jack to see the appearance of the detective, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. Isn't this Detective "Doudou"?

He didn't remember what this person's name was, and he even forgot why he had the nickname "Dou Dou". He only remembered that in the original drama, this person was forced to form a partner with another black female detective, Joss Carter, who has not appeared in the drama so far, to serve as backup support for the main characters.

Detective Carter Jack has not found this person in the NYPD system so far. Jack thought that Detective "Dou Dou" would disappear like her, but he didn't expect him to appear so early.
