Chapter 793 "Blue Wall of Silence"
"No, you don't mean the same thing."
Jack added silently in his heart, and then asked, "So, Gabriel You didn’t have much contact with Officer Amy Campbell when you worked together in the Newark Police Department, right?”
“They are just colleagues, not partners, and as far as I know, they have not performed any tasks together. ." Inspector Peroni's tone was very certain.
Jubal glanced at Jack and saw him nodding slightly, knowing that their purpose of coming here had been achieved. He seemed to stand up and leave, but suddenly he seemed to think of something and asked a question.
"Then do you know the reason why Officer Amy Campbell left the Newark Police Department?"
Inspector Peroni spread his hands and made a look of helplessness,
"Probably It's because Patterson gave her better treatment. You should know that she has two children. Patterson's benefits are better and allow her to spend more time with her children. "
"It seems that she was just unlucky and happened to meet Gabriel." Jubal nodded slightly, with an expression of "I understand."
Jack also stood up from his seat with Jubal and took the initiative to extend his hand to thank you, "Thank you for taking the time, Inspector Peroni."
"I'm sorry that I couldn't help you, but I hope you can catch that bastard as soon as possible." Before leaving, the police inspector still had a "sincere" smile on his face.
Leaving the police station, Jubal’s originally smiling expression suddenly turned cold, “I can understand the inspector’s feeling that he doesn’t want to have anything to do with the troublemaker, but his behavior seems too much. Eager."
"Is there any way you can get more detailed information without alerting the Newark Police Department, at least this branch? It would be best if we can get Gabriel? All the cases I experienced during my internship here have been revealed." Jack didn't want to be too cautious.
There is a proprietary name in academia called the "Blue Wall of Silence" (Blue Wall of Silence), which refers to a tendency among police officers to support and protect each other.
The word itself is neutral, and is usually regarded as an acceptable behavior, something similar to hiding from each other.
But when police are accused of abuse of power or excessive use of force, the behavior can feel a little tricky.
Before, Frank Regan, as the boss of the New York Police Department, was still walking on thin ice when investigating the "Blue Templars", a gang hidden within the police department, because of the death of his son. It was also because of This is an unwritten rule.
If Frank had directly chosen to overturn the table without sufficient evidence at that time, it is likely that a large number of fish would have slipped through the net due to the rule of the "Blue Wall of Silence".
In fact, when Sonny Malewski chose to commit suicide (Chapter 653), he was still enforcing the "Blue Wall" law, and his death marked the end of the whole incident. A full stop.
As an old FBI agent, Jubal naturally knew this kind of thing better than Jack. He frowned and thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and nodded with a grimace.
"I'll try my best. I have an old friend in the FBI's Newark office." Before he could finish his words, he saw the corner of Jack's mouth curl up into something that was not a smile.
"Is that Director Rena Trenholm, right? The last rape case due to errors in DNA evidence probably didn't affect your old lover's future, right? You two reconciled later?" Jack smiled evilly and directly exposed his background.
Jubal couldn't help but was speechless, "How did you know?" Then he realized, "Last time you saw her come to me?"
"It's just a coincidence, Jiejie was in the elevator I just happened to meet her looking for you." Just as Jack was about to tease him a few more words, his phone vibrated several times.
"It seems it's not time to rest yet." After reading the message from Jiejie, Jack's face looked a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Jubal guessed that it was something serious, and his expression darkened again.
"Do you remember that among the two state troopers who were killed in the restaurant before, one of them was the police officer we suspected was Gabriel's real target?" Jack asked. "Yes, it seems to be called Tyler Kubiak." Jubal said that he still had an impression.
"Jiejie discovered that his father was an emergency worker at the Nokwa Fire Department, and the area he was responsible for happened to overlap with that of Gabriel's branch."
Hearing Jack's words, Jubal's eyes lit up, "This doesn't seem like a coincidence?"
"It must not be."
——
"Bang!" Half a bottle of whiskey was slammed down on the table. The eyes of the old white man over fifty years old were red, and he breathed out a heavy breath of alcohol. filled with anger.
“The only thing I know about Gabriel Clark is that he is the murderer of my son. I have only one thought about him, and that is that I hope you catch him as soon as possible and preferably send him to prison. He's going to hell."
"Catching him is what we came for, but we also need your help, Mr. Kubiak," Jubal stated the FBI's position. asked.
"Gabriel grew up in Newark. Is it possible that your son Taylor knew him?"
The sad father fell back on the sofa and wiped away the dripping fluid on his cheek with his hand. tears. "It's impossible for them to know each other. Tyler's mother and I divorced in our early years. He has lived with his mother in Addison since he was a child."
"Are you sure?" Jack sat down opposite him, Lean forward slightly and look directly into his eyes.
"Of course, Tyke has been a gentle child since he was a child, and would not fool around with a little bastard like Gabriel who lacks tutoring."
Jack called up Gabriel from his mobile phone. ·Put Clark's photo in front of the father, "I suggest you take a good look at this photo. The branch he was in before is the same area as your jurisdiction. You may have seen him."
"I've never seen it." Mr. Kubiak's eyes flickered. He subconsciously turned his head and picked up the liquor on the table and took another sip. "Just looking at the photo makes me feel extremely sick."
< br>Jack's tone was slightly sarcastic, "Really? It seems that Newark is different from New York or Los Angeles. I previously thought that the 'blue wall' law only existed among police, firefighters or EMTs ( Emergency Medical Technician) doesn't care about the police bullshit.
You said that neither you nor Taylor knew Gabriel, but you blurted out that he lacked a tutor, which means you knew about his situation and his mother was there. He died when he was very young, and his father was an alcoholic. Is that so?"
Seeing the other person's expression stagnant, Jubal took the opportunity to add another weight to the scale, " Mr. Kubiak, we believe that Gabriel's behavior towards your son was motivated by personal grudges, so we came to visit him as soon as possible.
At this time, do you think it's okay? Is there any need to hide it? Lying to the FBI is a serious crime, and we don’t want to see more unfortunate things happen.”
Mr. Kubiak stood up suddenly, stared at the two FBI agents, grabbed the whiskey again and took a big sip of whiskey, "Maybe you are right, there is really no need to hide anything.
You guys You're right, this is indeed a personal grudge, but it has nothing to do with Taylor, Gabriel is here for me!"
He walked around the sofa in the living room, seemingly trying to calm down. Emotions seemed to be organizing words, and it took a while before he spoke again.
“About two years ago, the ambulance I was in was called to a shooting scene related to the Newark Police Department. I remember it was a drug raid on a certain house.
A civilian in the house was shot dead by the police. This was nothing, but I saw Gabriel arguing with a female police officer at the scene. ”
"Is this the African-American policewoman?" Jack showed him the photo of Officer Amy Campbell again.
"It should be, but I'm not very impressed." Mr. Kubiak hammered his head in pain, and muddy tears could not help but flow down his cheeks again.
