Chapter 792 For the Truth
The city of Patterson is located north of Morristown and Newark. Jack’s Hellcat arrived at its destination in less than 20 minutes with its police lights flashing.
"What is the specific situation?" When the two arrived at the location, the place was blocked by police cordon tape.
Hannah squatted in front of the body to check the situation. Jubal stood beside her. Aubrey and Clay were not far away. One was interviewing witnesses and the other was rummaging through the trash.
Jubal sighed, "Officer Amy Campbell was shot in the head at close range. She came to respond to a homeless homeless call. The call was not made to 911, but directly to Paterson Police Department’s Non-Emergency Hotline”
Jack squatted down next to Hannah. The deceased was an African-American woman who was about forty years old. She fell to the ground next to a park bench.
"Sounds like a trap? How can you be sure it was Gabriel who did it?" Jiejie asked.
At this time Aubrey came over and replied, "Because some witnesses said that there was a policeman in the park before. Probably earlier, three witnesses took pictures of six different people. Gabriel was identified in the photo.
No one heard the gunfire, but soon after, several other witnesses saw a homeless man walking away casually as if he were taking a weekend walk. "
Jack looked up and observed the surrounding environment. This was a promenade by a small river. The benches were slightly out of the way. It was not yet 7 p.m., so it should have been about the same time when the crime occurred. It's dinner time.
"The place and time were carefully selected. Gabriel must have spent a lot of effort."
"You mean he deliberately chose the time and place with the fewest people in the park." Jubal nodded slightly. , confirmed Jack’s judgment.
At this time Clay also came back, holding an evidence bag in his hand, "This is what I found in the trash can over there, an anonymous mobile phone. I bet that this The phone number should be the same as the one that called the police station."
"Let me notify the ERT team to come and collect evidence. Don't let go of the trash can and the bench," Jubal said. A cell phone call was made to the Newark office.
Hannah stood up and looked at the clear river in the park, "A police officer from Paterson City just told me that Officer Amy Campbell is also the mother of two children."< br>
"What exactly does this guy want to do? Is he just venting his emotions or does he have other intentions?" Clay was a little confused.
Aubrey's cell phone rang. He opened the screen and raised his eyebrows, "Maybe this can tell us the answer. Alice found a post on Reddit by Gabriel. A statement just issued. "
Reddit is the American version of Tieba, which is more focused on social news. Aubrey directly transferred the video content to the tablet, and other people's heads were focused on him. around.
“I am Officer Gabriel Clark of the Morristown Police Department and I want to make a brief statement that we live in a world of lies - fake news, fake truth.
< br>Dirty things are laundered, photos are faked, politicians confuse right and wrong, and people are keen on talking nonsense.
You should realize that there is only the truth, and the most important thing in life is the truth. I have always respected the truth, but others do not.
I repent that I have killed people, and I will continue to repent, because I will continue to kill people until they take the initiative to tell the truth. "
The video ended abruptly, and Jack couldn't help but frowned. The Riddler is the most hateful thing. You should really explain what it is.
At night, conductor In the car, everyone ate something and got busy.
Hannah turned around in front of the computer, and Aubrey took away the last piece of pizza on the table. “From the data of the original video, it appears that the video was uploaded yesterday morning, but was not posted until this evening after the killing of Amy Campbell. "OK, this means that he has already arranged everything and planned it carefully. Is there anything else to gain?" Are there any similarities between the police officers who were killed? "Jubal looked at Jiejie, who was in charge of the background investigation.
“There are no problems with the backgrounds of the two state troopers for the time being. I am expanding my investigation into their relatives, but Officer Amy Campbell, who was killed today, was a New York police officer before she came to the Paterson Police Department. A member of the Wacker Police Department.
She was transferred from the Newark Police Department 2 months before she was assigned to the Morris Town Police Department. "Jiejie handed over a file. The information was handed over to Jubal.
The latter frowned, "This doesn't mean anything. It might just be a coincidence. They may have worked together before, but Gabriel did not necessarily target her."
< br>Hannah rolled her eyes and objected, "What if we think in reverse, assuming that Gabriel is targeting Amy Campbell, what would he do?"
"If you want to know a police officer's patrol schedule and make sure that the person answering the police is Amy Campbell, you only need a police radio and spend a little time listening." Jack responded in time.
Jubal was silent for a moment and picked up his phone, "It seems that we need to advance the meeting with Inspector Peroni. We must understand what happened to Gabriel at the Newark Police Department. What."
"Is it too early? I don't think the other party will tell the truth at this time of crisis." When Jie Jie contacted the Newark Police Department, the other party's attitude was a bit awkward. The meaning of non-stick pan was even less likely to let go now, and Jack had a hunch that his trip might be in vain.
Jubal showed a hint of cunning on his face, "So I also thought about it in reverse. We don't need the police inspector to speak. We just need to confirm the other person's attitude. So are you interested in accompanying me? , Jack?”
Jack was naturally respectful and obeyed, leaving everyone to continue to dig up the victim’s background information. He drove Jubal to a branch of the Newark Police Department.
Newark is the largest port city in New Jersey, responsible for nearly 30% of the shipping throughput around the New York area, and is also the main unloading port for automobiles and lumber commodities on the East Coast of the United States.
However, the city itself is not large, with a population of less than 300,000. Therefore, the size of the Newark Police Department is completely incomparable to that of the NYPD. The precinct where Jack and Jubal are going now has only about 200 people. Multiple police officers.
The Inspector Peroni (Superintendent) they wanted to visit was the director of this branch. They saw two FBI visiting. This old white man who looked only in his 50s and had thick white hair The police received them in their office with seemingly great enthusiasm.
Taking the tablet handed over by Jubal, Inspector Peroni showed a dumbfounded expression after reading the statement made by Gabriel.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what this has to do with our police department? We have always advocated fairness, but this does not mean that everyone can successfully pass the internship period."
"But we have also read Gabriel's internship report in your police station. The reason why he failed seems to be a bit vague. Could you please explain it to us?"
Jack Now he is a supervisory detective. Although he still has a tender face, he is no longer suitable to play the role of a stupid young man, so he can only speak in a business-like manner.
"Of course, am I that kind of ruthless superior? I don't want that child to be unable to find a position in other police stations. Besides, some things are really inconvenient to write in the report."
Inspector Peroni’s smile was very “genuine”, “Officer Gabriel Clark The officer has a rigid personality and is more serious, but he is too black and white in judging matters. You should understand that you cannot do this job if you are too rigid. "
"Yes, as a grassroots police officer, You need to be flexible so you don't break down, right?" Jubal agreed with a smile.
Hearing that his point of view was agreed with, Inspector Peroni's old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, "Yes, that's what it means."
