Chapter 736: The Unconventional British Miss
“What I did was entirely out of good intentions, you ungrateful and rude man.” Joyner looked indignant and slightly high-spirited The head always gave people the illusion that she was trying to glare at Danny with her nostrils.
"Ah haha, elegant British lady, at least I can use chopsticks when eating fish and chips, but you can only use your three clumsy fingers." Danny shot back not to be outdone.
Feeling that making tea for them seemed to provide ammunition for the war of words between the two, Jack simply closed the door, blocking the overly curious eyes of some idle people outside, and leaned against the door with his arms folded, thinking To hear what they were arguing about.
A few minutes later, he finally roughly understood the cause of the matter. It all came from the four consecutive shootings that occurred in Murray Hill, Lower East Side, Chinatown and East Harlem starting last week.
There are more than 1,000 shooting incidents in New York City a year. At the peak, there were more than ten shooting victims in a day. It was just one shooting every two or three days, and they were in different jurisdictions. If there was no report below, the people would be so busy every day. Danny didn't even notice.
Joyina was keenly aware of the unusualness through daily internal briefings, so she found Danny, a part-time NYPD liaison officer, to transfer the case file. As a result, just last night, she completed the investigation I turned around and contacted Danny's superior directly.
The news quickly reached the ears of the director. According to what a certain father relayed to his son, the FBI judged that this was a serial murder case, and one or two NYPD detectives alone were not enough to deal with it. , requiring FBI intervention.
Danny just feels baffled. He has been very busy recently. He only cooperated in collecting a few case files from various jurisdictions. How come he suddenly became a police detective with insufficient abilities in some people's opinion?
The meaningful tone when his old man said these words to him simply made him feel like he had a lump in his throat. He couldn't get angry no matter what he wanted, so he came to the FBI early in the morning to argue with Joyner.
The argument in the office was still going on. Jack took the opportunity to look through the case file that Danny handed him. He was shot in the street with one fatal blow, and it all happened in broad daylight. After the murderer succeeded, he quickly disappeared into the crowd. The police did not even find a few suspects. Witnesses of spectrum.
If he were to judge, it would be similar to Joyner’s view. The time interval between the crimes was two to three days. There was nothing in common except the method of committing the crime. There was no robbery and no obvious motive, including the fact that the crime location looked similar. It's all completely random and could indeed be a serial killer.
It's just Joyner's approach. Jack doesn't quite understand the reason why she did it. Strictly speaking, her approach is not a big problem in terms of process, but skipping Danny directly is somewhat awkward. Not understanding the world anymore.
Of course, this may also be the consistent behavior of the FBI in other areas. Some ordinary FBI agents may make less in a month than a senior NYPD or LAPD detective, but their attitude when assigning others to do things is Really high and mighty.
So in most cases, the local police department is very disgusted with the FBI's involvement in the case. If they are forced to do so by the superiors, it is just a matter of official cooperation. The NYPD's approach of setting up a separate liaison officer to communicate with the FBI does not work. It's rare. For example, there is no such role in the LAPD.
Jack didn't think that Jubal had not told Joyner about these precautions, but it was most likely that she ignored them, or she didn't care about them and was still used to her original behavior.
He listened to the argument between the two for a while, but none of it was on point. It was basically a chicken-and-duck talk, each talking about his own thing.
"Stop." Jack made a stop gesture and pointed at Joyner, "Do you know the name of the NYPD chief?"
"Frank Regan." Joe Ina raised her head slightly, maintaining her usual arrogant posture, with a bit of confusion on her face, obviously she hadn't recovered yet.
Jack held back his laughter and asked again, "Do you know the name of this NYPD liaison officer?"
No matter how unsophisticated "Danny Ray" is, Joyner also reacted at this moment, her face could not help but turn red and white, and her British accent, which some Americans think is particularly charming, also became stammering. .
“I didn’t know them, I just thought” “Detective Danny Regan was appointed as the liaison officer between the NYPD and the FBI, which fully demonstrates the importance that the NYPD attaches to cooperation with the FBI. So we usually show the same respect."
Jack put it euphemistically, as one of the few "capable people" who is "favoured" by this proud assistant director. ” person, he can only try to maintain a neutral position and not embarrass the other party too much.
The Wanted Criminal Team and the Operations Center do not belong to each other and are considered parallel units. However, it is foreseeable that there will be many intersections in the future. Since such a proud person is willing to show kindness to himself, Jack should not be too biased. To help Danny, an "outsider", just click and stop is enough.
Joyner is just a bit naturally arrogant like a British person, and she is not completely aloof from the world. No idiot would be able to reach her current position. Fortunately, her previous dispute with Danny made her blush. At this moment, I couldn't tell what the reason was for the blush on my cheeks.
Jack also didn’t expect that this British eldest lady was so unreasonable. Although Jubal was able to command everyone around when he was busy in the combat center, he was usually very approachable and approachable in private. Analysts and technicians all enjoyed communicating with him.
Obviously, apart from Dana Moge, the female boss, Joyner may only have Jubal and Jack in her eyes in the entire New York office.
Before other people get a chance to show off their abilities, let alone become friends with her, they may not even have any non-official chats. They are pure airborne soldiers and are completely insulated from office gossip. .
No wonder she hasn’t even figured out Danny’s true identity even after coming here for nearly two weeks, and only regards him as an ordinary NYPD detective.
Danny also looked a little embarrassed at this time. He usually didn't like being treated differently because of his identity as the director's son, but now that he found out that the other party really didn't know, he suddenly fell into a conflicting emotion.
So Joyner looks down on herself not because she regards herself as a waste, but because she simply regards herself as a waste? This didn't seem to be much of a difference.
Thinking of this, he became even more annoyed. He drank the tea in the cup in one breath without feeling too hot, "Whatever, Her Majesty the Queen has already summoned her loyal knights, I guess. This case will definitely be solved easily, as long as the NYPD cooperates fully. "
Jack knew that this guy was deliberately trying to make himself angry, and the implication was that the assistant director left him alone. He directly called foreign aid, but he didn't care about it. Instead, he became interested in the knight Danny mentioned.
Joyina is really not stupid. She also heard the meaning of anger in Danny's words. Although Jack's file has been sealed, with her authority, she can only know that the other person has come to New York. A few cases later, but that was enough.
She really didn't care what others thought of her, and believed that capable people would naturally gain the respect of others, but this did not mean that she would make enemies for herself for no reason, she quickly explained.
“I recognize Jack’s ability. His physical skills and ability to act are the strongest among the agents I have ever seen. However, I think this case requires a more professional mind, so I contacted the BAU. Team, Aaron and his team are the experts in dealing with serial killers."
BAU? Aaron and his team?
Jack's mind was a little down for a while, and it took him a long time to react. He pressed Danny on the shoulder who wanted to continue speaking, and showed eight white teeth to Joyner.
“Are you talking about Aaron Hotchner and his famous behavioral analysis team?”
Apart from Rossi and Hotchner's wife Hallie, who were seniors, this was the first time he heard someone address a certain poker face as Aaron's so affectionately. This was really interesting.
