Chapter 979 In Hawaii (VI)
Danny grabbed Bruce Hoffman's outstretched right hand, pulled him up from his seat, grabbed the back of his neck and pushed him into the back kitchen, startling the other guests in the restaurant who were still dining.
"The police are handling the case." Jack took out his wallet and quickly put it back without saying that he was the FBI. This temporarily appeased a few enthusiastic people who had already taken out their mobile phones and planned to call the police.
In the kitchen, Danny flashed his police badge, politely asked the chefs and waiters out temporarily, and then introduced himself very "politely" to the shocked Bruce Hoffman.
"I'm Detective Danny Williams, and I'm the father of a little girl who was taken hostage in a Mercedes this morning.
Now that the recording you want is in my hands, and I'm going to expose it, I really want to know, what are you going to do to me? "
Hearing these seemingly unrelated words, Bruce Hoffman suddenly had beads of sweat on his shiny forehead, "Listen, listen, I don't understand what you are talking about at all, Williams." Detective, me"
Seeing that he wanted to continue to quibble, Danny grabbed him by the collar, took out his police badge and pressed it hard on his bare forehead.
Bruce Hoffman was pushed back by the short but strong Danny, and he didn't stop until he hit a row of shelves stacked with flour.
Along the way, the various cutlery and plates in the kitchen were brought by him and made a jingling sound. Jack, who was standing at the door to help "look out for the wind", could only look through the glass door at the diners who were casting curious glances. He responded with an awkward yet polite smile.
Danny slapped his police badge hard and said seriously, "Listen, you can take my police number off your forehead, and you are welcome to complain.
I'm just here to tell you one thing. The recording is in my hands now, and I will use it to expose your dirty deeds. No matter how you want to stop me,
But if you continue to send people with guns around my daughter, I swear to God, I will kill you with my own hands. Do you understand? "

After Jack had packed up several of the most expensive dishes and paid a large tip to appease the restaurant manager, he walked into the parking lot and saw a black Buick sedan with no handbrake on, making a squealing sound along the way. He drove out as if escaping.
"Is this your 'Five-O' style of handling cases? It's different with the governor's support."
Hearing that Jack dared to tease him like this, Danny stood up and glared at this cheap "big nephew", and it took a long time before his shoulders slumped in frustration.
"We usually pay more attention to image. Forget it, let's go. I'll take you to eat the most delicious shrimp rice in Hawaii."
——
The small town of Kahuku on the north shore of Oahu was once a sugar cane plantation. It declined for a time after the last local sugar refinery closed in the 1970s.
It wasn't until the 1980s that someone transformed the sugarcane fields here into ponds and shrimp fields, and used fresh water to start cultivating sweet shrimps, bringing this ancient town back to life.
There are various shrimp rice food trucks scattered along the way. The food trucks are covered with all kinds of graffiti and signatures of tourists. The more signatures, it means that the shrimp food produced by this food truck is the best.
It's a pity that Jack doesn't appreciate the local rice with raw rice. It can be done with a rice cooker, but even the shrimp rice food truck that Danny specially recommended, the rice with fresh shrimps and sauce still doesn't taste that good.
This is why the friends of the Most Wanted Criminal Team blackmailed Jack for a seafood dinner before leaving.
Commercial fishing is prohibited in the waters surrounding Hawaii, and there is basically no agriculture on Oahu, the most populous island. There are also very few locally grown fruit varieties. Basically all ingredients need to be imported from outside the island.
Therefore, the eating habits here are essentially not much different from those in the United States, and the processing of ingredients is as rough and crude as ever.
Not only that, Jack also became a little curious about the taste buds of Hawaiians, because it was incredible to him that this state could consume 7 million spam cans in a year with a population of less than 1.5 million.
However, Hawaii can be regarded as the place where Asian and European and American food cultures collide most intensely among the 50 states in the United States.
Steaks that are undercooked can highlight the taste, Chinese food that looks different, relatively authentic Thai food, and Japanese food that doesn’t matter whether it’s authentic or not as long as it’s raw can still satisfy the taste buds of most tourists.
Fortunately, shrimps are usually not too unpalatable no matter how they are cooked. Even if they are topped with all kinds of weird sauces, as long as they are fresh enough, the sweet and chewy meat will be very delicious.
The Thai dishes that Jack packed from the previous restaurant were also quite good. The sweet and spicy ones were quite appetizing. The key was that they were not greasy.
A few people had dinner in the "Five-O" office, and Jack said goodbye to everyone. Kono and Cheng Hao took the initiative to stay and help Danny handle the materials.
Naturally, such a small case cannot be led by "Five-O", and the main work is in the district attorney's office and the court.
But according to Danny's idea, even if the fat bald man named Bruce Hoffman cannot be sent to prison, he must be driven out of Hawaii so that he can no longer pollute the living environment of his precious daughter, so he collects enough information in the early stage. Evidence is very important.
Jack rarely slept in. His life has become much easier recently. Justin's reminders are not as frequent as before. As the development of "Shangri-La" business gradually enters the fast lane, there are many frustrated screenwriters in Hollywood. Provide materials.
Therefore, when someone got up in the morning, he was in a good mood. Yesterday's bad things could only be regarded as a small episode. He acted as a driver and spectator throughout the whole process, which fully proved that he, Agent Jack Tavole, did not make trouble everywhere. Conan physique of the case.
However, someone's good mood did not last long. Just as he was having breakfast in the cafeteria with Rachel and Grace, who were also staying at the Hilton Hotel, he suddenly received a call from Danny.
"Jack, is the witness you want to protect named Julie Master?"
"Yes, what happened?" Jack was shocked. Yesterday, he just said that he had a protection mission and did not mention the name of the witness or any information at all.
Danny's "Five-O" usually only handles major cases. Now that he suddenly found himself and obviously obtained relevant information, there was only one possibility: something happened to the witness!
Listening to the whirring of the wind on the other side of the phone, Danny was obviously already driving, "The specific situation is unclear, but HPD has just reported that they lost contact with two police officers who were ordered to go to the safe house to pick up witnesses to go to court.
The situation is not good. We are on the way to the safe house now. Suddenly we thought of the protection mission you mentioned yesterday, so we called you to ask. "
Jack held the phone and gave the mother and daughter who looked at him curiously a smile that was uglier than crying. He continued, "Your guess is correct. Can you give me a ride on the way?"
"I have five minutes to get to the hotel door. You'd better bring your gun and spare magazines." Danny's extremely fast speaking speed already showed the urgency of the situation.
