Chapter 736 The unworldly British lady
"What I did was entirely out of good intentions, you ungrateful and rude man." Joyner had an indignant look on her face, and her slightly raised head always gave people the illusion that she was trying to glare at Danny with her nostrils.
"Ah haha, elegant British lady, at least I can use chopsticks when eating fish and chips, and you can only use your three clumsy fingers." Danny shot back not to be outdone.
Feeling that making tea for them seemed to provide ammunition for the war of words between the two, Jack simply closed the door, blocking the overly curious eyes of some people outside, and leaned against the door with his arms folded, wanting to hear what they were. Why the quarrel.
After a few minutes, he finally roughly understood the cause of the matter. It all came from four consecutive shootings that occurred in Murray Hill, Lower East Side, Chinatown and East Harlem starting last week.
There are more than 1,000 shooting incidents in New York City a year. At the peak, there were more than ten shooting victims in a day. It was just one shooting every two or three days, and they were in different jurisdictions. If there was no report below, the people would be so busy every day. Danny didn't even notice.
Joyner was keenly aware of something unusual through daily internal briefings, so she approached Danny, a part-time NYPD liaison officer, to bring over the case file. As a result, just last night, after checking the case file, she turned around and contacted her directly. Danny's superior.
The news quickly reached the ears of the director. According to what a father relayed to his son, the FBI judged that this was a serial murder case. One or two NYPD detectives alone were not enough to deal with it, and the FBI needed to intervene.
Danny just felt baffled. He had been very busy recently and had only cooperated in collecting a few case files from various jurisdictions. Why did he suddenly become a police detective who was considered by some to be incompetent?
The meaningful tone of his old man's words when he said these words to him simply made him feel stuck in his throat. He couldn't get angry no matter what he wanted, so he came to the FBI early in the morning to argue with Joyner.
The argument in the office was still going on. Jack took the opportunity to look through the case file that Danny handed him. He was shot in the street with one fatal blow, and it all happened in broad daylight. After the murderer succeeded, he quickly disappeared into the crowd. The police did not even find a few suspects. Witnesses of spectrum.
If he were to judge, it was actually similar to Joyner's view. The time interval between the crimes was two to three days. There was nothing in common except the method of committing the crime. There was no robbery and no obvious motive. Even the location of the crime seemed completely random. It was true. Possibly a serial killer.
It's just Joyner's approach. Jack doesn't quite understand the reason why she does it. Strictly speaking, her approach is not a big problem in terms of process, but skipping Danny directly is somewhat unreasonable.
Of course, this may also be the usual behavior of the FBI in other areas. Some ordinary FBI agents may make less in a month than a senior NYPD or LAPD detective, but their attitude when assigning people to do things is really superior.
Therefore, in most cases, the local police department is very disgusted with the FBI's involvement in the case. If they are forced to do so by the superiors, it is just a matter of official cooperation. It is rare for the NYPD to set up a separate liaison officer to communicate with the FBI. For example, in There is no such role in the LAPD.
Jack didn't think that Jubal had not told Joyner about these precautions, but it was most likely that she ignored them, or she didn't care about them and was still used to her original behavior.
He listened to the argument between the two for a while, but none of it was on point. It was basically a chicken-and-duck talk, each talking about his own thing.
"Stop." Jack made a stop gesture and pointed at Joyner, "Do you know the name of the NYPD chief?"
"Frank Regan." Joyner raised her head slightly, maintaining her usual arrogant posture, with a bit of doubt on her face, obviously she hadn't recovered yet.
Jack suppressed his laughter and asked again, "Then do you know the name of this NYPD liaison officer?"
No matter how unsophisticated "Danny Ray" is, Joyner also reacted at this moment. Her face couldn't help but turn red and white, and her British accent, which some Americans thought was particularly charming, also became stammering. .
"I didn't know they were even on my mind"
"The appointment of Detective Danny Regan as the liaison officer between the NYPD and the FBI fully demonstrates the importance the NYPD attaches to its cooperation with the FBI, so we usually treat them with the same respect."
Jack put it tactfully. As one of the few "capable" people who was "favoured" by the proud assistant director, he could only try to maintain a neutral position and not embarrass the other party too much.
The Wanted Criminal Team and the Operations Center do not belong to each other and are considered parallel units. However, it is foreseeable that there will be many intersections in the future. Since such a proud person is willing to show kindness to himself, Jack would not be too biased to help Danny, an "outsider". ”, just click and stop is enough.
Joyner is just a bit naturally arrogant like a British person, and she is not completely aloof from the world. An idiot would not be able to reach her current position. Fortunately, her previous dispute with Danny made her blush. At this moment, I couldn't tell what the reason was for the blush on my cheeks.
Jack didn't expect this British lady to be so unscrupulous. Even when Jubal was busy in the combat center, he could command everyone around. He was usually very approachable. In private, analysts and technicians They all enjoyed communicating with him.
Obviously, in Joyner's eyes, apart from Dana Moger, the female boss, the only people in the New York office who could catch her eye were Jubal and Jack.
Before other people get a chance to show their abilities, let alone become friends with her, they may not even have any non-official chats with her. They are pure airborne soldiers and are completely insulated from office gossip.
No wonder she hadn't even figured out Danny's true identity after being here for nearly two weeks, and only regarded him as an ordinary NYPD detective.
Danny also looked a little embarrassed at this time. He usually didn't like being treated differently because of his identity as the director's son, but now that he found out that the other party really didn't know, he suddenly fell into a conflicting emotion.
So Joyner looks down on herself, not because she regards herself as the second generation ancestor of a waste, but because she simply regards herself as a waste? This doesn't seem to make much difference.
Thinking of this, he became even more annoyed. He drank the tea in the cup without feeling too hot. "Whatever, Her Majesty the Queen has summoned her loyal knights. I think this case will be easily solved. The NYPD will cooperate fully." ”
Jack knew that this guy was deliberately making trouble and wanted to drag himself into the water. The implication was that the assistant director spared him the need to directly call for foreign aid. He didn't care about this. Instead, he was jealous of the knight Danny mentioned. interest.
Joyner was really not stupid, and she also heard the meaning of anger in Danny's words. Although Jack's files were sealed, and with her authority, she could only learn about some of the cases since he came to New York, but That's enough.
She really didn't care what others thought of her, and believed that capable people would naturally be respected by others, but this didn't mean that she would make enemies for herself for no reason, she quickly explained.
"I very much recognize Jack's ability. His physical skills and mobility are the strongest among the agents I have ever seen. However, I think this case needs a more professional mind, so I contacted the BAU team. Aaron and him The team is the expert in dealing with serial killers."
BAU? Aaron and his team?
Jack's mind was a little down for a while, and it took him a long time to react. He put his hand on Danny's shoulder who wanted to continue speaking, and showed his eight white teeth to Joyner.
"You mean Aaron Hotchner and his famous behavioral analysis team?"
Apart from Rossi and Hotchner’s wife Hallie, who were seniors, this was the first time he heard someone address a certain poker face as Aaron’s so affectionately. This was really interesting.
