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

Chapter 1356 Coach Jack (Two chapters in one)

"I find the Seres are quite romantic." When Frank said this to Jack on the phone, he had already brought Grandpa Carl to Beijing, and Jack had also returned to New York from Greece.

"What do you mean?" Jack sucked on his cigar happily and lowered his head to swipe on the tablet screen. The news in recent times was really exciting.

The United Nations has become a vegetable market. The Cuban delegation performed solo throughout the entire event, holding up CDs and criticizing the three permanent members of the UN Security Council, Britain, France and the United States, until they became autistic.

"The PLAAF helped Carl find his former instructor, who is still alive." Frank said with a little surprise, "I heard a little story from them."

Jack had listened to old man Carl talking about a lot of past events before, and Frank was beside him most of the time. From what he said now, was there a version that he hadn't heard before?

“My impression of the Seris army is that they place great emphasis on discipline and obedience, but when they trained Carl’s group of pilots, they did more than just lead by example.

In order to encourage the young men, who were only 16 or 17 years old at the time, to do morning exercises on their own initiative, a teacher marked the distance from Beijing to Havana on a map and told them that they had to complete the run before graduation.

Then these guys consciously set a certain distance for their morning run every day, without even needing supervision.”

It sounded like something the old political workers would do. Jack was amused that Frank would use the word romantic to describe it. "So Carl returned home early because he was upset that he didn't finish the distance that year?"

Frank laughed. "I don't know. Carl is accompanied by military personnel now, so it's inconvenient for me to be with him. So, she came to Wuhan with Sarah. She likes the hot dry noodles here as much as I do."

"I heard that the duck necks there are also good, you can try it." As a southerner in his previous life, Jack was not so keen on pasta. He would miss it if he hadn't eaten it for a long time, and would get tired of it if he ate it every day.

"We plan to try all the delicacies in Seris in a month."

Jack almost laughed out loud at Frank's bold words. "Bon appetit to you and Sarah, and remember to let me know when you leave Hubei Province."

He and his girlfriend wanted to eat their way out of Hubei, which would take about a month, let alone the whole country. Jack was a little worried that the next time he saw them, he would see two fat guys weighing more than 300 pounds.

Just as Jack had expected, after another nuclear bomb was exploded, some things that happened on the nameless island - well, now this island has a name, exactly the same as the one in his previous life - were gradually disclosed by the Cubans, like one nuclear bomb after another being detonated in succession.

There must be someone with great power behind the Cubans' actions. They first made a big fuss at the UN General Assembly, and then announced that they would submit the relevant evidence in batches to the judicial institutions of relevant countries, the UN Women and other relevant human rights organizations, including Interpol and the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

It has been mentioned before that the Interpol in this world is somewhat different from the one in Jack's previous life, and is relatively more pragmatic.

However, the International Criminal Court in The Hague is still a political tool that is useless. It simply rejected the case on the grounds that it does not have jurisdiction, which has attracted a lot of ridicule from media from various countries who are happy to watch the show.

The FBI has some work to do, as nearly half of the people on the list are Americans. Although many of the names are extremely sensitive, even a former presidential couple are on the list.

However, because the evidence was released and submitted in batches, and there has never been a shortage of journalists, prosecutors, and federal agents who are not afraid of death and are only interested in fame, and this year is an election year, all the key elements can be said to have come together, and for a time the federal government was extremely lively.

As for the royal family of a certain country, they simply gave up and laid low. The old queen was gone, and the king, who had been the crown prince for 70 years, received such devastating news not long after he ascended the throne. He almost fainted with his hands covering his heart.

However, the FBI's New York office is as peaceful as ever. Thanks to someone, they have experienced many major events in the past two years, and even the Federal Building was almost hit by a bomb.

After Dana Moger sent a few idiots who overestimated their abilities and thought they could become stars like Agent Jack Tawalla to Washington, the New York office, which had been a little restless, returned to peace again.

Jack also began to deal with what he thought was the most important thing at the moment - helping Reese restore his peak combat effectiveness.

As a professional action agent, Reese's previous performance was somewhat inconsistent with his identity. Perhaps his fighting ability is not as good as Frank and Brian when they were young and Clay who is now in his prime, but it should not be too far behind.

So when people reach middle age, they have to give in. After all, someone is no longer a young man in his twenties. The dull pain in his shoulders every rainy day and his girlfriend Jessica's gentle comfort of "it's good enough like this" keep reminding him that he was beaten to a pulp by a Korean killer in Russia not because the other party was too strong, but because he was no longer capable.

Jack still used the same rhetoric as before, saying that his great-grandfather had been an imperial physician in the Seris royal family for generations, and then he took out those silver needles of terrifying length.

Of course, Reese's problem is not just the old injury, but also the decline in physical fitness and reaction ability caused by his previous alcoholism and homeless life, which cannot be solved by treatment.

Fortunately, after recovering from his old injury, Reese has plenty of time to slowly recover through exercise.

While everyone was making a fuss in Europe, the remaining three members of the wanted criminal team, Jubal, Aubrey and Alice, helped Harold Finch solve several numbers.

One of the numbers was a little unusual, pointing to a 15-year-old girl who was legally presumed dead.

The girl's name is Theresa Wickett, and the case dates back two years.

Theresa's father, Grant Wickett, was a real estate developer. He took his family on a cruise vacation one weekend, but the whole family never returned.

The Coast Guard found the yacht they were on several days later and found three bodies, namely the Wickets and their 18-year-old eldest son. The only missing person, Theresa, was also presumed dead shortly afterwards.

After an investigation, the local police concluded that the father shot and killed his family and then committed suicide, because all 14 properties under Grant Wickett's name were lost.

After Jubal and the other two got Theresa's social security number from Finch, they thought there was something wrong.

However, Finch thought it was unlikely that the "machine" was wrong. Since it gave the girl's number, she must still be alive.

Fortunately, the case happened not too long ago, and although the body had been buried long ago, all the evidence and photos were preserved.

Jubal used some connections to privately retrieve these evidences and photos. After everyone's analysis, it was confirmed that this was a disguised murder case.

The development of the matter then entered the familiar stage of solving the case for the FBI, during which "Bean" Detective Lionel Fusco unexpectedly provided a key clue, a broker informant he knew in Brooklyn.

According to Fusco, most of the hired murders in the city go through this guy's commission, making him a "killer agent" of some size.

Aubrey temporarily went undercover, posing as a rich man who wanted to hire a killer to lure the other party out, and got the name of a killer from the broker - Sonic.

Interestingly, the killer was serving a sentence in prison for another case. So the rest of the story became simple. After the FBI promised to change him to a non-private prison with better conditions, the killer Sonic quickly relented.

He admitted that he was hired to murder the family of three, but spared Theresa, who was still a minor at the time, because he did not kill the little girl.

Although this guy didn't know the true identity of his employer, after confirming that this was indeed a murder case, the FBI was able to reasonably and legally mobilize all the resources they needed.

Danny Regan helped unseal Theresa's sealed juvenile criminal record and found her boyfriend, who was only one year older than her and had been arrested for vandalism.

While Aubrey tries to track down Theresa through her boyfriend, Alice and Finch investigate Grant Wickett's true financial situation.

They found that not all the properties under the father's name were at a loss. A piece of land called "Greenpoint" located in Brooklyn had appreciated by forty to fifty times in the past two years.

Suspicion then focused on Grant Wickett's younger brother, Drake, Theresa's uncle. Along with him, a loan company called "Landale Finance" also came into the FBI's sight.

Grant has independently managed most of his real estate investments, with the exception of one plot of land called Green Point, which he purchased after obtaining financing from Langdale Financial.

Jubal and Danny found Theresa's uncle Drake together. After sobering up the drunkard by soaking him in sea water at less than 10 degrees, he told them the inside story.

At the beginning, his brother Grant got an inside information through his friendship with a city council member. The city government intended to spend a large sum of money to clean up an oil pollution area in Brooklyn, where the entire beach was polluted by a leaking oil tanker.

There is a piece of land near the beach suitable for building a residential area called "Green Point", but the land price has plummeted due to crude oil pollution.

Grant estimated that after the city government completed the pollution cleanup, the land value of "Green Point" would increase at least tenfold, but he was short of funds because all the real estate he had previously invested in was in a loss-making state.

So with the introduction of his younger brother Drake, Grant obtained financing from Langdale Financial.

Unfortunately, however, the Grant and Drake brothers did not know what kind of people they were dealing with. "Landale Finance" was not an ordinary financial company, but a ruthless guy who was secretly responsible for laundering money for the gangs.

As the city government's cleanup plan was delayed, Cahall, the owner of "Landale Financial", lost his patience and sent a killer to collect the debt.

His plan was simple: to kill Grant's family. Since Grant did not leave a will, his property would be inherited by his younger brother Drake.

Drake then took on the debt, sold the land at a low price, raised some money to pay off the debt of "Landale Finance", and then declared bankruptcy.

Originally, things would have probably ended there, but what was dramatic was that not long after Grant and his family died, the city government's procrastinating cleanup plan was actually launched, and soon a year later, the beaches near "Green Point" were cleaned up.

The land price of "Green Point" did not increase tenfold as Grant had expected during his lifetime, but instead increased more than forty times, turning his inheritance from a negative asset into a huge positive asset.

This money made Cahall's eyes green with envy, and he simply chose "I want it all", and began to urge Drake to complete the inheritance procedures as soon as possible, so as to directly transfer "Green Dot" to "Landale Finance" by repaying the original financing.

It just so happened that not long ago, the killer Sonic let the cat out of the bag in prison. When he was bragging about his "glorious deeds" to others, he swore solemnly that he would never kill a little girl.

The news reached Cahor, who suspected that Theresa, who was only 13 years old at the time, was let go by the killer Sonic, and hired the killer again to find her whereabouts.

Because as long as Theresa Wickett shows up, since Grant Wickett did not make a will, she will directly become the priority heir to the estate, rather than Drake.

This may be why Theresa's social security number was provided to Finch by the "machine".

Fortunately, Danny Reagan and Aubrey successfully found her whereabouts through a street skateboard boy, who was Theresa's boyfriend.

With the help of her "bad friends", the little girl successfully hung out on the streets of New York for two years.

Because Theresa's father Grant mentioned "Landale Finance" before his death, he also mentioned the name of his younger brother, her uncle Drake.

Therefore, she chose not to rely on her relatives, but instead relied on her friends to wander the streets, and unexpectedly she saved her life by accident.

Although Danny and Jubal were initially thought by the girl to be bad guys out to hunt her down, the NYPD and FBI team worked well together and successfully trapped Theresa in a laundromat.

Coincidentally, the new killer sent by Cahall also showed up at this time, but was shot down by Danny and sent to the hospital. He will become a powerful witness in the subsequent prosecution case.

When Jack heard the story, he smiled and said to Finch, "So, now you believe that even if we use legal means to investigate, we can still save innocent people in time and send the bad guys to jail, right?"

Finch's expression was a little stiff, and although he was obviously reluctant, he nodded after all.

“I have to admit that I was a little surprised by how flexible your colleagues and friends were at times, but not all situations can be so smooth and legal at the outset.

If you can, you would do well to get Mr Reese into what you call 'action mode' as soon as possible, for I am afraid new numbers may soon appear."

Jack was not offended by Finch's attitude, but based on his personal experience, he still had a long way to go to eliminate his vigilance.

"Reese needs at least two months of rehabilitation training. I can guarantee that when he works for you, he won't be beaten to a pulp by a few street thugs."

"Although you did knock the killer down easily, isn't it too much to say that he was a street thug?" Reese, who was punching the sandbag at the side, stopped with some dissatisfaction.

Jack coughed in dissatisfaction, "Go on, Mr. Reese, please don't be lazy, until you recover to the point where you can completely suppress Aubrey in the boxing ring, you are not qualified to appeal or protest.

You know, Jessica is on my side on this one, complaining that she can't even touch your abs now."

After saying this, he glanced at Finch with some ill intention in his eyes, "Mr. Finch, have you ever considered doing some proper exercise?"
