Chapter 690: Wave after wave
Irene did not hand the information to her father, but handed it to Jack first, "The bad news is that we still have two big problems left. Garth Carefree , copper smelting addiction, three assaults on a child, a first-degree felony, and the judge is still hesitating to dismiss the related charges. "
"You mean this thing will also be released?" Jack opened. After glancing at the folder for a few times, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I took out the relevant files and handed them to Frank.
"How do you think the judge will rule?" Frank took the file and read it with a frown.
Irene showed a not too optimistic expression, "Although this guy does make me worried, I am more worried about this Dick Reed."
Hearing the name, Frank blew out a heavy breath from his nose, clearly impressed.
This is the first time Jack has heard of this person. The remaining three-quarters of the folder are about his case file, a serial rapist and murderer.
"So this Dick is his real name and not a nickname?" Jack's question made Erin roll her eyes.
“Three innocent women suffered brutal torture, cutting, burning, repeated rape and sexual abuse before being killed by him. There were also many missing women who were suspected to be related to him, but because they were not found The corpse is so."
Irene glanced at the file that Jack opened. Although she handled the case herself, seeing the relevant photos and evidence again made her feel strongly uncomfortable as a woman.
"This is really adding fuel to the fire," Frank muttered, already anticipating tomorrow's headlines.
“We don’t have many chips in hand. He is a very smart pervert and is very cautious when committing crimes. CSI also convicted him through DNA evidence remaining in a small amount of saliva on the corpse. The only way now is to During the trial, Becky Swatch was asked to stand up and testify against him."
When Erin mentioned the name, she looked at Jack and explained, "Becky is Dick Reed. The only survivor among his men, she was tortured for 19 hours, and finally managed to escape by burning the rope with the flame of a candle.
I went to her three times to persuade her to testify in court, but"
"It's understandable." Jack pulled out a photo of the victim and saw that this was a sweet-looking girl with a bit of artistic temperament. She was in her mid-twenties and in her prime.
In the photo in his hand, the girl had two long bloody stab wounds on her left cheek, not to mention scars on her body and other parts. "This is a strong girl."
Although Irene said that she refused to testify in court, Jack still gave the above evaluation. Being able to persist with such an injury for 19 hours and finally find a chance to escape from Dick Reed's clutches is enough to show that this girl has and Her seemingly fragile body does not match her strong willpower.
Frank also agreed with this, "Thanks to the clues she provided, we found Reed. We can't be too harsh on her."
"I'm just sorry about that Dick ·Reed actually gave up resistance the first time he saw the police and was arrested. It seems that as you said, this guy is indeed a cunning beast."
The implication of Jack's words made Eileen. She couldn't help but subconsciously frown, but she didn't openly express her rejection of the so-called "abuse of force" by the police or that criminals also have human rights like Jack did when he first attended the Reagan family gathering. Debate and preaching like that.
It seems that the quarrel between Irene and Danny was more of a way for the brother and sister to communicate their feelings. The eldest lady has always had the blood of the Reagan family flowing in her bones, not the kind of white blood that makes people feel disgusted. Left. "I will let Danny keep an eye on this Reed, and you, dear, I also believe that you will be able to find enough evidence to convict him."
It makes people feel The strange thing is that when Frank said these words, his eyes always stayed on Jack.
The problem is that none of the words in the Director's words have anything to do with him. Jack's eyes kept scanning the faces of the father and daughter in front of him. Frank looked solemn, while Eileen looked solemn. Just as confused as myself.
"Ahem!" Frank coughed lightly, opened the drawer of his desk, took out a wooden box and placed it on the table, "Jack, I heard that you will soon be leading a separate team. Team, what do you think of this gift?”
Although he felt that the topic suddenly changed a bit abruptly, Jack curiously opened the gun case and saw a big gun lying inside.
"Is this a SIG Sauer P320?" But there was something wrong with the size. He pressed the magazine release button with some confusion. The magazine slid smoothly into his palm, and then he pulled it skillfully. Slide the slide, keep it in the empty magazine and hang up the machine, then take out a bullet from the magazine and study it carefully.
"This is a .40 pistol round? No, it's a fully charged 10mm Auto ammunition, not even a reduced-charge 'FBI load'?" Jack was a little surprised. This thing doesn't look like something the police would equip. .
Frank nodded with a smile, "The model of this gun is Sig Sauer P320-XTen. It is indeed a ten millimeter caliber. Someone is trying to sell this pistol to the NYPD, but obviously, the gun's The power is a bit excessive. Considering that the FBI was once equipped with pistols of this caliber, I left a batch of samples for you.”
The FBI did once equip 10mm Auto ammunition as the standard pistol ammunition. This incident originated in 1986. In 2017, eight FBI field agents and two Florida guys met on a narrow road and fired 150 rounds at each other within five minutes.
The final result was that although the FBI won, it was a tragic victory. Although the two Florida guys were shot dead on the spot, two FBI agents also died in the line of duty and five others were injured, four of whom were seriously injured and one was slightly injured.
This incident was once rated as the most failed operation in the history of the FBI, and caused the FBI to suffer from a severe phobia of insufficient firepower. It directly selected 10mm Auto ammunition as the standard pistol ammunition, and uniformly distributed Smith& Wesson 1076 pistol.
However, the level of firearm design at that time was not enough to suppress the recoil of such large-caliber ammunition. Later, the FBI had to customize a batch of reduced-charge versions of 10mm Auto ammunition. This was also what Jack called the "FBI load" The origin of.
Afterwards, Smith & Wesson saw business opportunities and simply reduced the cartridge size based on the 10mm Auto bullet and created the .40S&W pistol bullet.
At the same time, the Glock company also joined in the fun and launched a Glock 20 pistol using a 10 mm caliber. However, after the launch of the new 9 mm pistol bullet, this wave of popularity also stopped. Gradually recede, as the latter also has a good stopping effect and also has a larger ammo capacity.
After that, 10mm pistol bullets were basically only used for hunting. After all, they were too powerful to shoot two-legged animals, but they were just right for shooting four-legged animals.
However, as more and more bipeds have become more effective after taking drugs in recent years, the popularity of 10mm caliber pistol ammunition has increased again. It seems that some people are trying to sell pistols of this caliber to the NYPD. Within reason.
Jack naturally wouldn’t think that the chief of the NYPD was doing some promotion for an arms company. After all, even if his team was officially established, he would only have two or three kittens. How many guns could he use?
So this is indeed a gift, perhaps a small thank you for helping to solve the NYPD's internal problems before, but it is a bit intriguing to take it out at this time.
