Chapter 10 An Unpleasant Arrest


Chapter 10 Unpleasant Arrest

There was no pain, and there was no enlightenment. The whole world in front of him was like a piece of frosted glass being taken away, and it became clear in an instant. This was the most appropriate metaphor that Jack could think of.

The smell in the air, the sounds coming from the street outside, every corner in the room, as long as you concentrate, you can distinguish, hear and observe them carefully.

Jack took a sip of the cold water on the table and frowned slightly. Hannah's water pipe was equipped with a very high-end water purifier. The water was also boiled, but his sense of taste told him He, the water filter element should be replaced.

This reminded Jack of a movie he had seen in his previous life. In it, the male protagonist swallowed a small pill called NZT48, and his five senses and IQ were greatly developed, and he seemed to be omnipotent. Very similar to his current state.

Excitedly, he ran up to the attic and dug out a calculus problem that had troubled him for a long time from his previous college textbook. He started writing about it. After 10 minutes, Jack threw away the pen and gave up.

Okay, no, it’s still no. The improvement of mental strength does not mean the improvement of IQ. It seems that the mountain of mathematics cannot be climbed in this life.

Dividing line-——

After the three-day administrative leave, Jack returned to the police station and continued to clock in and practice shooting after work every day, while watching with cold eyes. Looking at the gossip about John and Lucy, it is obvious that their underground love affair can no longer be maintained.

Finally one night a month later, Jack, who was forcibly dragged out to drink, witnessed the official breakup of the two of them in a state of laughter.

"If that doesn't work, just separate temporarily. When the rookie period is over, wouldn't it be nice if one of you applies to be transferred to another police station?" Jack suggested as he couldn't stand the pretentiousness between the two of them.

Then with the two people looking at each other like they were fools, he spread his hands and said, "Just pretend I didn't say it, drink and drink."

After finishing a bottle of Budweiser, Jack was about to get up and look for The waiter took a few more bottles when he suddenly heard a rapid alarm ringing from the American Herb Shop across the street, and then three guys with zombie faces rushed out.

"Oops, LAPD, stop, don't move." Jack took the lead and rushed out of the bar, followed by John and Lucy.

The three robbers did not expect to encounter the police as soon as they went out. They were so frightened that they ran away. Before they ran 200 meters, two of them were pushed down by John and Lucy respectively. They saw the leader holding the cash box and fled in. At the subway entrance, Jack turned back to say hello and followed him. He couldn't let go of the experience points delivered to his door.

It happened that a subway train entered the station, and the robbers got in in a panic. Jack also squeezed into the car the moment the door closed, shouting "LAPD" to identify himself, and continued the pursuit.

Although there were not many people in the carriage, the space was small. He was afraid of hurting innocent people, and the robbers did not carry weapons. Jack put away the Glock and prepared to subdue him with his bare hands.

After chasing a few more carriages, the opponent finally lost strength and fell out. The money bag he was holding flew far away and landed at the feet of a thin white man at the door of the carriage.

Jack stepped forward and stepped on the robber's tailbone. He took out the handcuffs and cuffed the girl with his backhand. Just as he pulled the kid up from the ground, there was a ding-dong sound, and the train arrived at the station.

Looking up again, the money bag and the white man on the ground were gone.

“I can’t think of anyone who would be stupid enough to steal stolen goods in front of a police officer, for fear that he would not go to jail?”

At work the next day, Jack and Angela talked about I was puzzled by this matter, but Angela seemed not surprised.

"Someone who is stupid or on the verge of despair, right? The economy has been in recession in the past few years, and I heard that Manhattan Beach is about to be taken over by homeless people."

Jack snorted. After his power exceeded 20, his observation ability was greatly improved. Although it was just a glimpse, the white man who was suspected of taking the bag of money did not look like a poor homeless man. He sent the robber to the police station last night. The relevant information has been submitted to the police detective team, and with the addition of subway surveillance, it should be found soon.

Sure enough, after a few rounds of patrolling with Angela in the morning, as soon as a ticket was issued, the command center sent the address of the suspect who stole the stolen goods.

That bag of money was the daily sales of the American herbal shop. The largest denomination in it was no more than 5 dollars. The total amount of money in a large bag was less than 2,000 dollars. Naturally, the police detective team was too lazy to go out on the mission themselves. I have said hello to Jack, so I will still give him this little bit of face.

It was an unexpected surprise that he was able to catch three thieves after drinking at night. It was an experience that fell from the sky. However, the key evidence was stolen under his nose, causing him to suffer the consequences for the second time. Tian was laughed at by Superintendent Gray in front of everyone at the briefing early in the morning.

Although this kind of ridicule is already directed at the three rookies every day, and most of the time it is just out of good intentions, but the one who was ridiculed the most before was the old rookie John, who, as a dignified LAPD rookie, has no face. What?

According to the address sent by the command center, Jack parked his car in front of a white two-story building and frowned as he looked at a children's bicycle placed against the wall on the porch.

Angela motioned for Jack to follow her for cover, walked up the steps, put one hand on the gun holster, and knocked hard on the door with the other hand: "LAPD, open the door."

The thin white man walked out of the back room, raised his hands, He looked towards the door with some horror.

Angela continued to shout loudly, "Sir, I saw you, don't force me to break in!"

The thin man hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door: "Okay, okay , I'm sorry, very sorry." Angela entered the room first and pointed at him: "Please raise your hands."

Jack, who followed him into the house, avoided Angela's gun line, walked around behind the thin man, and ordered at the same time: "Hold your head with both hands, cross your fingers."

The thin man was very cooperative, holding his head with both hands and letting it go. He checks the whole body.

Jack, who found no weapon, shook his head at Angela, and Angela put away the pistol.

"Sir, where is the money you took?" It was rare to meet such a cooperative suspect. Jack did not use violence and stood beside him to ask.

"I swear, I want to pay it back. The money, uh, I, uh." The thin man was at a loss and led the two of them into the living room. There was a bag full of change on the table.

"Did you use some of the cash?" Angela asked sternly. Jack took the bag and checked it. Yes, it was the scattered banknotes from the American Herbal Shop.

"I bought some daily necessities and paid the water bill. We can't run out of water at home. I'm sorry, I will definitely pay it back." The thin man said incoherently, with tears glistening in his eyes.

“Life has been really difficult during this time. My wife passed away last year. I recently lost my job again.”

“I have always been a law-abiding citizen and I have never even parked illegally once.”
< br>Jack reluctantly took out the handcuffs and prepared to handcuff him. The anger he had accumulated because of this man's behavior of taking advantage of others had disappeared without a trace. It was obvious that this was a man who was driven to a dead end by life.

At this moment, a clear child's voice suddenly came from the stairs: "Daddy?"

Turning around, he saw a five or six-year-old boy standing timidly, looking at everyone in confusion.

The thin man was stunned for a few seconds and shouted in a panic: "Jacob, go back to your room."

Jack quietly hung the handcuffs back on his waist and interrupted him, He signaled: "It doesn't matter, let him come."

As the man greeted, the little boy threw himself into his arms.

The man looked helplessly at Jack: "What will happen to my son?"

Angela said from the side: "Children's rights organizations will come to take away your son. Do you have any relatives in this city? Later on You can notify relatives to come and pick him up."

"Uh, yes, my wife's sister." The man's eyes were panicked and helpless.

"Then provide her contact information, and we will enter it into the system to ensure that children's rights organizations can contact her in time."

"But please cooperate with the police now, please follow Come on, the only thing I can do now is not to let your son see you being handcuffed.”

Jack motioned for the man to follow him.

"Please don't do this, please." The man begged.

"Sorry, you have to say goodbye to your son." Angela put her hands on her hips and sounded serious.

Looking at the father and son hugging each other and crying, Jack felt very uncomfortable. However, he was just a rookie patrolman now. If he was a police detective, he might...

Take the man with him As she walked out of the house, the heart-rending cry of the little boy came from behind. Angela hugged the little boy and comforted her softly. The man outside the house was already crying and filled with regret.

"What did I do? Everything was ruined by me."
