Chapter 693 Dick Reed
Unfortunately, Hannah is still in New Jersey. As mentioned before, although those financial fraud cases are relatively not dangerous, they require a lot of time and energy. , even under the best of circumstances, it will take at least a week for Little Sweet Girl to return to New York.
Hannah also complained quite a bit on the phone, but there was nothing we could do about it. The accumulation of experience in multiple types of cases was also important, and it was also to enrich her personal resume.
She joined the FBI a year earlier than Jack, and is still a senior agent. The news that Jack was about to be promoted somewhat stimulated her, so she offered to join this type of financial crime case.
Not all of those on the FBI's wanted list are vicious murderers. There are also many highly intelligent criminals who are proficient in financial fraud and counterfeiting antiques and artworks. The FBI has even established a special white-collar crime department to crack down on it. This type of crime.
After coaxing his somewhat irritable girlfriend, Jack was about to get in the car to find Erin, but when he looked up, he saw Danny leaving and returning, looking a little angry.
"Drive quickly, that son of a bitch didn't go home, he went directly to the Manhattan courthouse!"
——
"Eileen, are you still in the office? "While Danny was hurriedly calling his sister, Jack also turned on the police lights and sounded the siren.
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is also located in the New York State Supreme Court building that looks like a Greek temple. This court is also known as the Manhattan Criminal Court. Its address is 100 Central Street, just below Next to Columbus Park.
This court building is only about two streets away from the NYPD headquarters, and the straight-line distance is less than one kilometer. For the Dodge Hellcat, it is just a step on the accelerator. Therefore, before Danny finished calling, Jack had already The brakes were applied.
As the brakes sounded, Danny couldn't wait to open the car door before the car stopped.
There was already a circle of people gathered at the steps of the side entrance of the court. In the crowd, a white girl with two ugly scars on her cheek was screaming and wrestling with Dick Reed. Together, beside the two of them was Irene who was at a loss.
Danny roared and rushed forward, strangled Dick Reed's neck, separated the two, and pressed him against the wall, while Jack stepped forward to protect the girl with the scar on her face. and Irene, sending them back to the court.
"What are you looking at?" Jack turned back and glared at the two guards standing on the steps in a daze. What is the difference between these two things and wooden stakes?
The two guards woke up as if from a dream, and were about to pull out their batons and step forward, but found that they didn't need to do anything else at this time. Danny had already handcuffed Dick Reed.
Jack sent Eileen and the girl with the scar on her face back to the office, and poured a glass of water from the table and handed it to the girl.
The girl was obviously very frightened and her whole body was shaking. Even when she was sitting on a chair, she wanted to curl up into a ball.
Jack noticed that she was very resistant to his contact. To be precise, she should be resistant to contact with the opposite sex, so he turned around and handed the water glass to Irene and asked her to comfort the girl first.
It took a long time for the girl to recover from the stimulation of adrenaline and finally burst into tears.
Erin sighed and called a female assistant to accompany the girl. Then she and Jack came to the corridor, "She is Becky Swatch. She took the initiative to find me just ten minutes ago and said that she was willing to testify against Dick." "Reed, it's all over now."
Jack nodded to express his understanding. It is not easy for a victim to take the initiative to testify in such a case. The defense lawyer will do everything possible to provoke the witness. Emotions caused her to repeatedly recall various details of the assault during the long court session.
As for the tactics of revealing the victim's past and even digging into her privacy in an attempt to smear her into an image of a dominatrix in front of the jury, it is even more common in such sexual assault cases.
"It is only a matter of time before Dick Reed is solved. There is no need to let this girl suffer again. I think you should worry more about yourself than her now."< br>
Jack's words surprised Irene, "What do you mean?" "Dick Reed came directly to the court as soon as he got out of prison. He couldn't have known that Becky Swatch would come here, so Who do you think he is here to harass?" Jack was speechless. Is this young lady too well protected by her father and brother?
There was a trace of panic on Eileen's face, "No wonder he saw me just now."
"Did he speak rudely to you?" Jack was convinced, although Eileen's face looked a little... He looks old, but has a good figure and a professional temperament. It is not surprising that he is targeted by perverts. It seems that Frank has really caught his eye.
"Promise me, Jack." Erin suddenly grabbed Jack's arm nervously, "We can't let Danny know about this. He is too impulsive. I'm worried that he will behave irrationally. "
"Then you have to promise me one thing. From today on, I will be your driver. As long as you leave home or the office, you must call me in advance. This is what your father means. "Jack took advantage of the situation and proposed an exchange condition.
To be honest, when I attended the weekend dinner at the Reagan family, Irene's first impression on Jack was not very good. At nearly forty-one years old, her daughter was already eldest, and her personality was still a bit arrogant.
Moreover, his words and deeds have a bit of a leftist flavor, and he often talks about police abuse of violence. Although he is a prosecutor, he seems to have little contact with the dark side of society.
However, with more contact, Jack gradually discovered that this eldest lady did not seem so annoying. At first glance, she seemed to be a new-age woman with independent characteristics, but in fact she still retained Ireland in her bones. People’s unique traditional family concepts.
When her family is threatened, she will not hesitate to give up those so-called principles and do everything she can to help.
"Don't worry about Danny, and remember what I say." Jack reminded him again before leaving the District Attorney's office.
He still adheres to his previous idea. Instead of guarding Irene to protect her safety, it is better to get rid of Dick Reed early. If the media is not focusing on these released criminals now, he really doesn't mind being a Return to the vigilante and make this pervert disappear immediately.
——
Back at the New York Police Department, it was still the interrogation room with the surveillance always damaged. But when Jack opened the interrogation room door, he saw two people sitting opposite each other quietly. The two of them said nothing.
"It looks like you guys had a great time chatting." Jack teased, pulled up a chair and sat down next to Danny.
"New face, who are you?" Dick Reed looked confident and confident. The corners of his mouth were raised, and he was obviously smiling, but this smile made people feel chilled in their hearts. He looked completely perverted.
"Specialized in dealing with people like you." Jack did not answer him directly, but turned to Danny and asked, "Didn't he ask to see a lawyer?"
Danny shook his head, and before he could speak, Dick... Reed sneered and said, "I don't need a lawyer."
"Intimidating witnesses in public, are you reluctant to leave prison or what? Are you sure you don't want me to call a lawyer for you?" Danny squinted slightly Open your eyes.
"It was just a chance encounter. You can't prove it at all. I went to the court. In fact, even I was surprised that I met her there. It seems that God is really good to me. I You should buy lottery tickets.”
Dick Reed spoke very slowly, with a bit of pride on his face.
