Chapter 851 Hancheng Strategy (5)
With so many people there was no need to go all the way. Jack took note of the other party’s number and still went together with Clay as a team. The others also had their own arrangements.
Alice stayed behind to continue to dig up the background information of Grayson Ferber. Jubal and others went to the police station to follow up on the latest investigation into the murder of Barbara Walker from the UK two weeks ago. progress.
Clay is still driving, and Jack is sitting in the passenger seat to guide the way. Seoul is a city built on mountains. Although it is not as steep as the mountain city of Chongqing, the various slopes are also extremely annoying.
Although Jack was new here, he could at least recognize the road signs. However, after three detours and two detours, he was blocked before reaching his destination.
"It looks like something happened up ahead." Seeing that the intersection near the agreed-upon location was completely blocked, Clay simply pulled over and got out of the car with Jack and walked.
Both of them are tall. Standing far away from the crowd, you can see what's going on inside. The incident happened at a convenience store on the corner of the street. There was a young man wearing a hospital gown at the door. He was waving a sharp knife and confronting several people.
Jack and Clay are in a good location. The intersection they are at is facing the convenience store across the street, so they can have a panoramic view of everything.
There was blood on the knife, and the young man's hospital gown was also stained with blood, but the blood did not seem to be his. There was an ambulance parked next to the convenience store, and two emergency medical personnel were working beside it. Help an uncle bandage his wounds.
"What happened?" Clay didn't know anything about Korean. When Jack smiled and asked the crowd about the situation, he could only stand aside and stare.
"Kangsangmida." Jack thanked the talkative aunt very politely and turned to tell Clay the information he had just learned.
The injured uncle was the owner of the convenience store. A mentally ill young man with a knife appeared from nowhere. After stabbing the owner, he blocked the door of the convenience store.
There is also a mother and daughter in the convenience store. They are the shop owner’s wife and his daughter who is studying in college. Although they are not injured for the time being, they are obviously very frightened. They are blocked in the store at the moment. Scream.
The three plainclothes detectives who had just arrived were confronting the psychopath at the entrance of the convenience store. Now the roads in all four directions of the intersection were blocked by police cars.
In addition to the three criminal police officers, there were other police officers wearing white-striped black vests who were working hard to maintain order at the scene. Watching the excitement was a common deed in the world, and the onlookers were as enthusiastic as if they were not afraid of life or death. They pushed forward, making these police officers very embarrassed.
"They're just... dealing with a madman like this?" Clay felt a little unbelievable, because the three plainclothes detectives who confronted the mental patient were all bare-handed and timid and did not dare to step forward. They only dared to shout loudly from a distance.
“Well” Jack’s expression was also a little hard to explain.
Today's Korean police are aggrieved and useless. Just give a few examples to understand. There was once a mentally ill man who was armed with a knife and tried to attack the police. He was knocked down and handcuffed by electric shock. He died 5 months later. He died, and the police station paid 320 million won (approximately US$230,000) in compensation.
A warning shot was fired at the fleeing suspect. The suspect holding a sharp knife fell down and stabbed himself in the thigh with the knife in his hand. The police station paid another 78 million won (US$56,000) in compensation.
Of course, in addition to South Korea’s unique prosecutor system, the reason for this result is also due to the dark history of the South Korean police itself. From Lee X-wan, Park X-hee to Quan Xiaojiang, The most powerful iron fist these three poisoners have is the South Korean military and police.
Therefore, after the so-called banboization, the Korean police were deprived of many powers and their status continued to decline.
If in a big Eastern country next door, the saying that police officers must hit their legs before shooting is just a joke, then in South Korea this is clearly written in the rules and regulations.
Nowadays, even the issue of assaulting police officers has become a major cancer in South Korea, with nearly 20,000 cases a year, and this number is only officially submitted. There are many more assaults on police officers due to the concerns of the parties involved. Being concealed. A large number of these concealed assaults on police officers were female police officers. Despite the extreme and widespread boxing movement in a large country in the universe, female police officers are still subject to great discrimination. In order to avoid further discrimination internally, many female police officers will Choosing to conceal the experience of being assaulted.
Of course, even if there are reported assaults on police officers, most of them are not handled in any way, and those police officers who are attacked will even be complained by the suspects in turn.
Due to the pressure of public opinion, the most common approach of the upper-level police is to abandon the lower-level police officers who "caused the accident". This has led to the suicide rate of police officers in South Korea's civil servants, which has always been at the top of the list, and it has never been seen before.
Although the scene that appeared in front of Jack and Clay seemed so ridiculous, it was the most real situation. After all, the words coward and waste are usually linked together.
The result of being abandoned and even despised by the entire society is the collective inaction of the Korean police. The situation is relatively good at the moment. At least these three plainclothes detectives dare to confront the suspect and prevent him from harming the convenience store. Mother and daughter, although the effect is quite limited.
There have been more extreme cases. After the victim called the police, the two male and female police officers who arrived successively did nothing. In the end, the victim subdued the suspect by himself.
Clay was speechless. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward to do something brave. Jack had no choice but to follow him, reminding him in a low voice from behind not to expose his sidearm.
Korean society is extremely sensitive to police shootings. Although they are from the FBI in the United States, this situation does not fall within their scope of authority at the moment. Using guns casually is very likely to be exaggerated by the media into a public opinion storm.
As a typical diode society, it kowtows to power while vigorously advocating equality and national self-confidence. If someone comes to the Blue House and cuts their fingers, it will easily cause trouble out of control.
Although the South Korean authorities have always been unable to do anything to deal with the top soldiers who commit crimes in the "Bodyguard State", let alone the FBI, the members of the team are likely to be recalled to the country to calm public opinion.
If the first case falls apart because of this kind of incident, the Bombardier jet, which is about to be remodeled at a Canadian aircraft factory, will cry.
"Who are you?" A horse-faced man who had just arrived at the scene and was making a loud noise blocked their way.
"FBI, Agent Jack Tavole, this is my colleague, Agent Clay Spencer." Jack handed his ID to the horse-faced man who seemed to be able to make the decision, because those few moments just now Every criminal policeman who confronts mental patients calls him the squad leader.
The squad leader is almost equivalent to the level of the black-faced Superintendent Gray when Jack first entered the LAPD. Judging from the situation at the scene, he should be the most effective person here to speak.
“Eh?” The upper body is a blue striped POLO shirt, and the lower body is beige trousers with a thin belt. The POLO shirt is tightly tucked into the trousers, and all that is left is a keychain hanging from the waist. He looks completely middle-aged. The horse-faced squad leader dressed as an uncle slapped his forehead in shock and was speechless.
“Is it the FBI in the United States? The FBI from ‘FBIWARING’?”
“You speak Korean very well.”
"Hey, do you FBI recruit people according to idol standards?"
When several plainclothes detectives who were confronting mental patients heard that Jack and Clay, who were wearing black suits and white shirts, reported themselves I immediately forgot what I was here for, and came over to talk nonsense.
