Chapter 579 Danny Regan was attacked
“Check the surveillance videos at the entrances of these nearby stores. As long as you can find the surveillance videos, I want them. I will search the entire 135th Street thoroughly. Do you understand? ? I only had time to write down the last three digits of the license plate, but I wanted to know if anyone had seen the entire license plate. "
When Jack arrived at the scene of the incident, he saw a loud warning to the police. Danny, who was on duty, had already been blocked by police tape at both ends of the sidewalk, and was surrounded by people watching the excitement.
There was a body lying in the middle of the sidewalk. It was a tall young black man. He had been shot three times in the chest and was bleeding all over the floor. Danny's shirt and sleeves were also stained with blood.
Linda stood at the door of the convenience store nearby, looking frightened.
Jack waved to Linda from a distance, then showed his ID and walked towards Danny, "What happened? Why did you come to this ghost place?"
Harlem is The law and order situation is notoriously chaotic. Except for some streets where the situation is slightly better because there are rich black people living there, in most areas, especially at night, even Jack is unwilling to hang around.
Because no one knows whether a black guy will suddenly pop out from any corner and shoot you in the head, just because he likes the shoes on your feet.
Nowadays, Jack is not worried about his own safety, but he is not interested in cosplaying Batman, so he comes to a place like this to do justice.
“The homemade almond biscuits - Popoloni from Luvis Convenience Store are our family’s favorite. We happened to be passing by nearby and wanted to buy a pound to bring to the children.”
Danny tilted his head towards the convenience store where Linda was standing.
“I knew it was not safe nearby, so I took Linda into the store and bought some snacks and milk. When I was checking out, a guy walked by the door with a gun. I asked Linda to call the police and chase him. When I got out, it was too late.
The fat Latino man shot the young man three times with a Glock pistol. When I shouted a warning, he fired a magazine and chased me out. By that time, the bastard had already run away in the car."
While he was telling the story, Jack checked the scene and said, "You were about 15 yards (one yard = 0.9 meters) away from the opponent. You didn't try to fight back forcefully. Yes, the bullet holes are basically concentrated next to the pillar you are relying on for cover, and even the glass of the convenience store is not broken. That guy's shooting skills are quite good."
Danny curled his lips unconvinced, "My shooting skills are good. Not bad, you should shoot when you reveal your identity.”
"Come on, Linda is worried about you to death. Did you see the other person's face clearly? What type of vehicle is it?" Jack glanced at the dirty and shabby streets, which looked like the urban-rural fringe area in the 1990s. Monitoring is 80% unnecessary.
“I can see it clearly. I can definitely recognize that guy when I see his photo again. The person who picked him up was a Mercedes-Benz G-type off-road vehicle. It shouldn’t be difficult to check, but it’s a pity. The child looked to be in his early 20s, and he breathed his last in my arms."
Seeing the anger in his eyes as he looked at the body on the ground, Jack knew that this detective could not get rid of the sand in his eyes. He must have been furious, it was not his turn to intervene in this kind of case, so he could only look at Linda and said.
"Let me send Linda to the child for you. Pay attention to your own safety."
Bearing farewell to Danny, Jack drove Linda to see her. Seeing her worried look, he also Not knowing how to comfort the other party, Linda spoke after a long silence.
"You know that Danny also has a younger brother, Joey, right?"
Jack nodded and said that he had heard about it, "I know that he was also an NYPD and was shot and killed in the line of duty two years ago."
Linda showed a sad look, "I have been worried about Danny since then. His character has always been straightforward and reckless, and he never gives in in the face of difficulties. Of course, this is also the reason why he attracted me when I was young. .
You know, it's like you and Hannah are now, but now that we have two children, I have never been so worried about him, especially after Joey's accident." Jack I really don’t know what to say. In terms of danger, his job is much more dangerous than Danny’s, but he’s still alive. As long as he doesn’t take the initiative to die, he should be able to do it better than most people in this country. All live longer.
"Danny has experience in the military, and his sense of danger is much sharper than the average person. And in my opinion, his heart is much more delicate than he shows. At least he is good at making girls happy, isn't he?"
Jack's comforting words made Linda smile sheepishly, with the sweetness of memories still in her smile, "Yes, he is very good at coaxing girls, and he was a complete playboy before he met me. Very similar to you."
Jack's smile froze on his face. Boomerangs are so popular these days, but the topic suddenly turned back to him.
Fortunately, we arrived at our destination soon, and the topic ended there. At the entrance of the villa, old Henry Regan and Frank Regan on crutches were already waiting on the porch with their two grandsons.
"Mommy, Mommy, where is Daddy?" The two noisy boys rushed up to hug their mother and started acting coquettishly.
Jack turned off the engine and got out of the car, walked up to the two elders of the Reagan family, and shook hands with them. It seemed that they had heard that their eldest son (grandson) had been shot.
"Danny is fine. The other party did not come for him. He stayed at the scene to deal with the follow-up."
Frank Regan nodded, "I have already spoken to him on the phone. Thank you Jack, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?”
Although the current director of the NYPD looks as if he is in a position of authority even after the mountain collapses, he is not worried about his son. My daughter-in-law must be fake. She is waiting at the gate eagerly.
Jack wisely excused himself from having guests at home and left directly.
——
Early the next morning, Jack, who was preparing to do morning exercises with Hannah, was called to the office by Dana Moger.
“Raymondo Salazar, does this name sound familiar?”
“That Elmar gang boss in Peru?” Jack was surprised when he heard this name , the FBI New York office still manages South American drug lords?
When he was dealing with drug cartels in Mexico, this name was among the information Rossi gave him.
The Elmar Gang is not a big one. Although it controls a cocaine smuggling channel, it is much worse than the Sonora Group he dealt with before, such as the Matamoros Gang. It can only be regarded as a gang. An inconspicuous little fish.
“More than a year ago, the El Mar gang took root in Harlem, Raimundo Salazar donated $1 million to Harlem revitalization projects, and just last night, the NYPD Detective Danny Regan witnessed him shoot and kill an innocent black young man on the street."
Jack was stunned when Dana Moger heard what happened last night. Involving a drug lord?
“This doesn’t make sense. The Elmar Gang is not a small street gang. Raimundo Salazar has many younger brothers who do his dirty work for him. Why would he do it himself?”
"That's what you have to find out. These are the information of the Alma gang. In addition, you are acting alone this time. Hannah has to go to Florida. The copper smelting addict last time will be tried in court. She needs to hand over some program work ”
Dana Moger threw a thick pile of information to Jack, waved her hand to indicate that he could get out of the way, put on her glasses again and read the report on the table.
I went out to do some errands today, so I am a little shorter than usual. I will try to make up for it tomorrow.
