Chapter 562 Cross with Pearls
“I think this seems to be a good way to publicize. You know, in recent years, with the interference of some people, the NYPD has become more popular among ordinary citizens, especially ethnic minorities. His image among low-income people has plummeted
And Mr. Cassel’s novels seem to have always been good in sales, and his fans are on the rise. From the mayor to the janitor of the apartment, if he is willing to sign some responsibility clauses regarding personal safety, the NYPD does not mind making it easier for him."
Frank's words made Jack secretly. He breathed a sigh of relief, although Cassel always looked unreliable. A man in his early 40s lived like a teenager in his early 20s and acted recklessly.
But it is undeniable that this is where his personality charm lies, and Jack really cannot dislike this guy.
It is said that a man remains a teenager until he dies. Think about it, the high-ranking Director Reagan in front of him is not the same. He would rather find a female reporter to have an underground affair than find a serious wife to continue the relationship. It is not all for the pursuit of excitement.
Of course Frank didn’t know that someone was secretly slandering him in his heart. Several men talked about the previous case again, and soon Linda and Irene, who had finished cleaning up in the kitchen, also joined them. As I was coming up with ideas, Jack's cell phone finally rang.
"Tampa is also a girl from a Catholic family. Okay, I understand, thank you, Garcia."
Jack hung up the phone and met Danny's expectant eyes, She couldn't help but smile at him, "My colleague at the BAU compared the past whereabouts of Donald Burns with the local unsolved cases. Guess what she found?"
Everyone's eyes dropped. When it comes to himself, Jack doesn't show off any more.
"There is an unsolved case in Tampa, Florida. The case of a missing girl, about the same age as Teresa, a little girl from a Catholic family. The local police have not been able to find the body. The time was five years ago, and it happened to be Donald Burns. When I lived there."
Danny showed excitement on his face, "Great, it can't be such a coincidence. I'll call Tampa to see if I can get it. From the case records and news reports at the time, we will definitely find clues to prove this guy's guilt."
"No need, just go back to the police station and find a printer connected to the computer, and she will send us all the information. ." Jack stood up and prepared to leave.
"If you need any resources, please call me at any time." Frank waved to the two of them, telling them to hurry up.
"Wait, little sister, I said we can do it." Before leaving, Danny clenched his fists and waved his arms to Erin, looking like he was winning.
——
“How many more are there?” Danny moved the second printer, which was damaged due to overheating, with blank eyes, and replaced it with a new one.
"Well, it's almost over. There are only the last two hundred pages left, but there are still some recordings of inquiries. I need to find a few more people to listen to them."
Sit in front of the computer and print out Jack didn't expect that there would be so much information. In the past, Jiejie had found it easy to sort out the case materials, and she could finish them in just a few file bags.
But then I thought about it, all I saw was preliminary work. When the case was closed, it seemed that it was Jiejie’s busiest time, with a large number of documents, on-site inspection records, on-site photos, etc. Needs tidying up.
It can be seen that the work of the Tampa police at that time was actually quite meticulous. The interrogation records they printed out alone were packed into three cardboard boxes. In addition, there were also third-party information such as reports from various local media before and after the incident.
Danny directly mobilized the detectives in the entire office to help, each of whom was assigned a cardboard box to look for clues that could connect this case to Donald Burns.
After a busy night, the police detectives in the office were all dizzy and dull-eyed. The two who were listening to the recording with headphones even fell asleep unknowingly. In the fire escape The smell of cigarette smoke passed through the corridor and filled the entire office.
"Hey guys, come on, wake up, it's less than half a day until that bastard Donald Bence walks out of the detention center."
Danny holds a full plate of coffee, Walking into the office with several bags of donuts hanging on his arms, "Have you discovered anything?"
"I see you are ghosting now, buddy." His female partner, Jackie, who has the same name as Jack, held her chin, and the eye shadow around her eyes was smeared to her temples. Jack put down his cell phone. He had just sent a message to Hannah, explaining why he couldn't pick her up at the airport, and continued to pick up the copy of the newspaper in his hand and read it.
"Hey, look who this is!" Danny put down his coffee and looked at the office door with surprise.
"He's there!" With a sweet and lovely cheer, a small figure jumped into Danny's arms.
"How are you? Little cutie." Danny bent down and hugged the little girl Theresa, and Jack beside him couldn't help but smile like an aunt.
"I made you a cake." Teresa pointed to her mother who was following her.
"Wow, look what is this? A cake? Did you make it yourself?" Danny took a cake wrapped in plastic wrap from Mrs. Campos, and was surprised to find that there was something on it. Write your name in chocolate sauce.
Teresa nodded shyly and returned to her mother shyly.
“Thank you for saving our child.” Mrs. Campos seemed to have changed. She was no longer the sad and desperate middle-aged woman. Her face was full of joy and gratitude.
"As long as she comes home safely." Danny's old face also turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.
"Thank you very much." Mrs. Campos held Danny's hand tightly, with tears in her eyes again.
"Hey, Teresa, do you want to take a walk around the NYPD headquarters? Jackie, can you show them around?" Seeing Teresa nodding vigorously, Danny said to Jackie Wave.
Jackie naturally stepped forward and took the little girl's hand, "Come on, little girl, Danny still has something to do, can we come back to him later?"
" Seeing this scene makes people feel that everything we have done is worth it, doesn't it?" Jack joked, this guy usually looks like a tough guy, but a little girl of seven or eight years old can make him at a loss. .
"It would be better if we could not let that pervert Donald Burns go unpunished. Once this guy is free, I don't know how many girls there will be." Danny put away his smile and looked sad again.
Jack leaned back in his chair, picked up the copy of the newspaper again, and murmured, "There will always be a way, always"
The next moment, his eyes were attracted by the photo in the newspaper, "Danny, do you remember the necklace hanging on Donald Burns's wife's chest when we visited her that night?"
"What necklace? You mean she had been holding it in her hand, inlaid with That cross of pearls?" Danny leaned his head over.
“Does this photo look familiar to you?” Jack showed the copy of the newspaper in front of him.
Although the photo in the newspaper is a bit blurry, and after scanning and printing, it is only possible to barely make out the facial features of the missing girl published in it, but the cross necklace hanging on the girl's chest is still vague. You can make out the round pearl-like inlays on it.
"It seems we have to visit Mrs. Burns again."
