Chapter 584 Unexpected Kidnapping
“Mr. Director, it is rumored that the police officer who carried out the arrest was your son Danny Regan, and he had exchanged fire with the suspect before, and he was also a witness in this case. , can you please confirm?”
A black reporter from Channel 14 asked a barrage of questions, which made Frank Regan, who was wearing sunglasses, frown.
"No." He replied in one word concisely.
"That evil gang is good at intimidating witnesses and even silencing them. Are you worried about that?" Another reporter asked.
"No." Still the same word.
Frank Regan did not talk at length about the NYPD being unafraid of threats. He had already sacrificed a son for this city. It is impossible to say that he was not worried at all.
But the reality is this. As the protector of this city, he cannot tolerate any weakness.
“When will the formal prosecution be filed?” Someone in the audience continued to ask questions.
This question really stumped Director Reagan. It is the job of the prosecutor to prosecute and has nothing to do with the NYPD.
"Leave the following questions to me." Lyle Greene, standing next to him, bowed slightly.
Frank Regan raised his eyebrows and said nothing. He just stood aside and gave up the small podium to the other party.
“I am Lyle Greene, the special prosecutor for drug kingpins.”
One of the paths for a prosecutor to rise is to enter politics. No prosecutor does not like to be exposed in public. Dealing with media reporters is their basic skill. It can be heard that the prosecutor is very good at this.
“First of all, I would like to thank the New York Police Department for their outstanding performance in the arrest of Raymundo Salazar. As for the prosecution, we very much look forward to Officer Danny Regan’s presentation this Wednesday afternoon. The latter's vote after testifying before the grand jury"
Is there something wrong with this guy's brain? Jack looked at Eileen next to him in surprise. Frank Regan's two NO's were all in vain. This guy sold Danny directly as soon as he came on stage.
What the hell is the difference between this and the behavior of Siris Media that directly broadcast the images of anti-narcotics police without coding?
Whether it is public speculation or rumors, it is all unofficial behavior. Now that this person says this in front of many media, it is equivalent to directly giving official certification.
"That's it for today, thank you all." Sure enough, Frank Regan's beard was so angry that he stood up. He stepped forward unceremoniously and directly interrupted Lyle Greene's words. ended this brief press conference.
This special prosecutor is a bit hypocritical. Before, he kept solemnly reminding Danny to beware of Raimundo Salazar, but now he turned around and betrayed him. I can only say that he is worthy of being a politician. Reserve.
In contrast, Assistant Prosecutor Erin Regan had a much better impression on Jack. In the previous case of the copper smelting criminal, the reason why she had a conflict with Danny was because she was worried that the criminal could not be brought to justice. From a legal perspective.
Everyone walked out of this temporarily arranged press conference. Frank Regan adjusted the sunglasses on his face, looked straight ahead, and looked at his side calmly because he was forcibly interrupted to speak. The ugly Lyle Greene said,
"Your sensationalist statement completely exposed the witness's identity and was very unprofessional."
"I'm sorry about that."Lyle L. Greene stopped and said an apology, but his expression was somewhat disapproving, and his tone was a little less respectful.
"I understand your sensitivity on this matter. After all, Danny is your son."
Frank Regan also stopped and turned to look at him with a steady face, "This has nothing to do with Danny's identity. No matter which of my police officers they are, I will be particularly sensitive when they are in danger." "
Lyle Greene's expression changed slightly. No matter what, Frank Regan was still the chief of a police department in charge of tens of thousands of police officers. In the European Middle Ages, a man with tens of thousands of armed forces in his hands. A feudal lord cannot be called a king too much.
When the aura of this superior person pressed forward, this guy's breathing couldn't help but stagnate. He swallowed subconsciously, his posture suddenly lowered a lot, and he defended himself in a low voice,
"But the reporter just said it."
"Yes, but I did not confirm it. I have reason to believe that the information was not leaked from our people, but from you This way." Frank Regan pointed at him with a finger, turned around and left without saying anything more.
When Erin, who was following her father, passed by Lyle Greene, she glanced at him with the same expression.
Jack saw this small conflict in his eyes and returned to Danny's office thoughtfully. He saw that he was sitting face to face with his female partner Jackie, and their desks were filled with various things. document.
"What are you still busy with?" The case was successfully concluded, and Jack was in a good mood. He was already thinking about whether to go back to Los Angeles this weekend while Hannah was away. It had been a long time since he had been in love with him. Professor Maureen asked for help.
In a few months, he will officially study for a master's degree under Maureen's name. It is very important to have a good teacher-student relationship. "As for organizing documents, even if I appear in court to testify, these evidence materials, including forensic reports, ballistic trace examination and other documents must be fully prepared."
Danny yawned, looking like he was doing his job dutifully.
“Look at this, do you remember that Sylvia mentioned that Raimundo Salazar has a capable man named Lupino?”
He teased A file was released, "My full name is George Lupino. There are a lot of cases, but guess what the result? The witnesses all recanted their confessions."
"Wow, this is really surprising." Jie. Ji was also infected by this guy's yawns, and followed him several times. He got up and poured himself a cup of coffee, then waved his hand to chase away the people.
"Leave these to me. You two big boys can find a smoking room to do bad things. Just be careful not to set the police station on fire."
"Dear Jackie, I really don't know how to live without you." Danny opened a drawer at the bottom of his desk and rummaged around inside for a long time. He took out an oak cigar box and held it to her like a treasure. Jack shook.
"Stolen from the old man."
After enjoying a high-end Cuban cigar with Danny, Jack looked out the window at the dark night and prepared to stand up and leave, "Are you sure you want to leave today?" Why don’t you leave the police station later?”
Danny waved his hand, “You can go back and rest, I’ll order a pizza and we’ll make it in the lounge tonight”
Before he finished his words , the phone suddenly rang, "Danny Regan, what do you mean?"
Jack stopped preparing to go out and turned to look at him.
Danny raised his hand and glanced at the time on his watch, with a confused expression on his face, and continued, "No, no, don't bother, I'll call her. Yes, yes, I just finished my work. I'll go directly. Go pick her up, thank you."
Seeing him hang up, Jack quickly asked, "What happened?"
Danny frowned, "Go pick up Linda. The police officer said that she is not at home, so there should be no problem. I will try to call her cell phone."
Jack's heart suddenly thumped, and he thought not to cause trouble at this time.
But the next moment, Danny dialed Linda's cell phone, and before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, a man's greasy voice came over the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Detective."
"Who are you?" Danny's face changed slightly, but he still had a trace of luck in his heart.
"I'm your nightmare."
"Get Linda on the phone!" Danny tried to lower his voice.
"She can't answer the phone now until you decide not to testify against Salazar at the grand jury hearing."
The call over there continued. At the same time, Jack, who sensed something was wrong, had already put the phone in his hand. He called Jubal, "Help me trace the number below. I need to know the current location of this phone immediately. It's urgent."
Then he patted Danny on the shoulder and said silently with his lips, "Delay for time."
"Let my wife answer the phone, I need to know her current situation." Danny's eyes were slightly red, and his breathing became slightly heavier.
“Don’t try to play any tricks, my friend, your wife is quite beautiful, you’d better do as I say, otherwise you will only see a beautiful corpse again, and, Don't try to find her, we know everything you do."
As the phone was hung up, Danny covered his mouth in pain. He had nowhere to vent his anger, and he couldn't even scream because he didn't dare to let anyone know about it.
"Go directly to your father's house, make sure the two children are safe, follow me, and don't let anyone see anything strange." After Jack said this, he took Danny and walked out of the smoking room.
