Chapter 587 The old fox deceives the young fox
Just after noon, when Jack came to Director Frank Regan’s house again, he met Eileen Regan and Henry Regan, who was over 80 years old, at the long table in the dining room. Mr. Gen.
The long dining table was piled with various documents. The two of them seemed to have stayed up all night, checking the thick communication records with two pairs of conspicuous dark circles under their eyes.
Seeing him appear alone, Irene looked a little surprised, "Where's Danny?"
"I left Danny in the bureau and tried to keep him in the lounge. Take a nap, the guy is exhausted.”
"We're not much better." Mr. Henry took off his reading glasses and rubbed his sore eyebrows. Despite his age, this old man was in really good health. He was over 80 years old and could still stay up all night until noon.
This also reflects from the side how much the Reagan family cherishes their loved ones, and the important position of Linda, the sister-in-law, in the hearts of the family.
Jack stepped forward and helped Mr. Henry up from the chair. Taking the opportunity to persuade him to rest for a while, he gave him a long-lasting BUFF and said,
"Danny has never stopped. Several guys from the Elmar gang in the prison confirmed that their boss did have an insider within the police, but they didn't know the specific identity.
We also asked about several locations, but so far we have found nothing. , I have an idea here, and I want to discuss it with Frank.”
Mr. Henry really couldn't stand it any longer. He took the crutches handed to him by Jack and walked tremblingly towards the bedroom. He pointed to the study room and said, "Frank is on the phone inside."
"I Come in with you, I also made some discoveries here." Erin also stood up from her seat and led Jack into the study.
Ten minutes later, after listening to Jack explain his fishing plan, Frank raised his hand to stop Irene who was about to speak, took out a box of cigars from the drawer, handed one to Jack, and lit one himself. Zhi, just started pacing in the study.
The fragrant aroma of cigars filled the study room. After a long time, he slowly spoke, "Your plan is generally fine, but the layout is a little hasty. Whether it is you or Irene, The intention to find Lyle Greene is too obvious, and the other party may not be so easy to bite."
It was with this in mind that Jack came specifically to find the director, Danny. Something had just happened to his wife, and a new witness appeared here. There must be a reasonable reason to avoid arousing suspicion from the other party.
"So I hope that you can personally take action. A high-status, anxious father will personally go to the trouble to kill a key witness for the safety of his family. This all seems very reasonable."
Frank nodded. , his face relaxed a lot, but then he seemed to think of something again, the hand holding the cigar shook slightly, and said in deep thought,
"The premise of all this is based on the person of Lyle Greene. The drug addict special prosecutor is indeed a traitor, but have you ever considered this? What if he is just an incompetent politician who likes to sensationalize? "
Jack couldn't help but be surprised. To be honest, he was surprised. I really haven't thought about this. There is currently no substantial evidence as to whether Lyle Greene is a traitor. Everything is just based on his speculation.
If it is true as Frank said, then the operation he planned is destined to be nothing more than a bamboo basket.
Fortunately, Eileen, who had been listening at this time, finally couldn't help but speak, "Although I didn't find direct evidence, there is a discovery that can support Jack's conjecture."
There are two people in the study, an old man and a young man. Two men looked at her at the same time.
“I mentioned before that when we captured Raimundo Salazar, we also obtained his mobile phone. Although many of the numbers on it came from anonymous prepaid mobile phones, through Comparing the electronic stores that sell these prepaid mobile phones, I found a pattern."
As she said this, Erin showed her hands to the two of them. In the circled list, "Several prepaid mobile phone numbers were sold from an electronics store on the corner of Barrack Street. Guess who happens to live in an apartment on that street?"
"Haha, well done. You are worthy of being my daughter. I'm proud of you." Frank hugged his little cotton-padded jacket and did not hesitate to praise him.
Irene was smoked by the cigar he was holding, and covered her nose in disgust, "I just sent people to that store to investigate. Although Lyle Greene was very smart in using cash to pay the bill, in the After seeing his photo, the shop owner recognized him at a glance."
Frank threw the half-finished cigar directly into the ashtray, "I immediately arranged a car, now. Just go back to the office and make an appointment with the prosecutor."
After thinking about it, he stopped making a phone call and turned to look at Jack, "Would you mind being my driver for a while, Jack?"< br>
“With pleasure, Mr. Director.”
——
"Squeak!" The Dodge Hellcat stopped firmly at the door of the New York Police Headquarters. Frank clutched his chest in shock and loosened the passenger seat belt.
“I haven’t experienced this feeling for a long time. It reminds me of when I was young. At that time, I was just an ordinary NYPD patrol officer.” Jack’s face showed a bit of innocence. The chief The husband acted as if he was not the one who urged him just now.
"You can also make arrangements over there. Lyle Greene will be here in half an hour at most." He took Jack in the elevator directly to his office on the top floor. Frank waved for him to sit wherever he wanted. He sat upright behind the luxurious desk, picked up the phone and began to instruct his subordinates to arrange matters.
Jack found a sofa and sat down, took out his mobile phone and called Sylvia. Fortunately, he had made sufficient preparations and left a prepaid mobile phone for her.
The communication was very smooth. Sylvia didn't need to know too much, she just had to cooperate in acting in a scene, and most of the content was performed in her true self, so there was almost no difficulty.
Not long after, the two people in the office put down the phone almost at the same time and looked at each other. Just when they were about to say something, there was a gentle knock on the office door. Jack quickly said OK to Frank. With the gesture, the latter nodded and responded loudly, "Please come in."
Frank's female secretary pushed the door in, followed by the drug addict special prosecutor Lyle Greene.
"I heard that you want to see me, Director Reagan?"
Frank stood up and extended his right hand to him, "Thank you very much for coming. This is Jack Tavole from the FBI. Senior Agent, you have met before."
Jack also stood up and shook hands with the other party. The three of them exchanged a few words and sat down on the guest sofa. Frank showed some hesitation on his face. After a while, he cleared his throat and said,
" Lyle, uh, can I just call you that?”
“Of course, Director Reagan.” Lyle Greene looked flattered, but he was overjoyed. You can guess the reason why the NYPD chief in front of you is so arrogant and respectful.
"The situation is like this. Detective Danny Regan, my son, is likely to miss the hearing tomorrow afternoon due to some unexpected factors." While saying these words, Frank There was a little fear on his face.
"What?!" Although he had expected it, Lyle Greene still couldn't restrain the ecstasy in his heart. He could only pretend to be shocked and stood up directly from the sofa. got up.
"Danny's testimony is very important. He is the only key witness who can testify against Raimundo Salazar. This is unacceptable."
"Please sit down and let me finish. "Frank once again showed his unruffled aura and forced the other party to swallow the rest of his words.
"Just yesterday afternoon, something happened that made it impossible for us to risk losing an important family member by having Danny testify, so I hope you can understand."
" But this is our only chance at the moment to actually send Raimundo Salazar to prison. Subsequent investigations can lead to more indictments. Without the testimony of Detective Danny Regan, one case will not be tried twice. According to the principle, he will be acquitted, let's think about it later"
Lyle Greene looked heartbroken, as if he was really an upright prosecutor who asked for help from the people.
Frank sighed, his eyes filled with tears, looking like a hero short of breath, "I fully understand the hard work you and the team you led have been putting into this case, but everything happens for a reason.
I understand this is a huge problem. This is a favor, but the news must not be known to the outside world. Danny will be admitted to the hospital tomorrow due to a sudden illness. I hope you can help keep it secret until the hearing is over."
Lyle Greene. At that time, I was already happy. I gritted my teeth and pretended to be reluctant. After a long time, I sighed and said a high-sounding cliche.
"I knew this was Almare." I even specifically reminded Detective Danny Regan of the methods that these beasts are good at. I didn’t expect that, but this is really contrary to the judicial spirit that we have always adhered to.”
“Yes. "Yes!" Frank nodded, "So I contacted Senior Agent Jack Tavole and found a new witness for you."
Lyle Greene, who was still immersed in inner joy, was directly stunned by this sudden turn of events. A look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he didn't even realize that his voice had changed a bit, "What? A new witness?"
