Chapter 1291 The storm is coming (two-in-one chapter)
Dealing with street gangsters is the specialty of NYPD patrolmen, and Jack is not convenient for him to overtake his duties. After all, most street gangs are still relatively normal and usually do not take the initiative to cause trouble for the police.
Especially when you meet a police detective like Danny, even the so-called gang bosses will walk around when they see him. When they are found, they cooperate obediently. They rarely appear like those who are really brave in the movie and TV series.
The problem is that this time the incident was a newly emerged unknown gang, a group of idiots who committed crimes on the subway and then posted them on social media to show off.
The wandering crime shows that the other party has no territory, and the new gang is not the kind that is affiliated with some well-known gangs, which means that Danny can't even find the other party's whereabouts through informants or directly talk to the other party's boss.
Therefore, Detective Regan tried to lobby Director Regan at the dining table to see if some patrols could be dispatched to patrol various subway stations.
Frank Regan was still hesitating, not that he was a father who didn't want to help his son.
It is not too troublesome to arrange a similar public security rectification activity. It is nothing more than a share of money in the overtime budget, but the problem is that the other party's behavior does not seem to be as strong as it needs to mobilize the masses.
Jack suspected that he had broken up with a female news anchor, which led to a decline in his "control" in some aspects, but unfortunately there was no evidence.
After all, some things are not necessarily beneficial if they are done. The more police officers at subway stations will make some nerve-wracking citizens feel uneasy and then question whether the police are making a big deal. At this time, public opinion needs to be guided positively.
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with the FBI. Seeing that before the director decided, Danny was going to be waiting for the subway station in the near future, Jack could only wish him good luck and ask him to help me pay attention to whether there are any of the homeless people who appear on the subway recently.
"I am about 40 years old and a handsome middle-aged uncle, but now I may look sloppy, about 6 feet 2 inches (1 meter 88)."
"When did you FBI become interested in homeless people?" Danny asked curiously, sucking a cigar. The lunch was over. Several big men were driven to the back garden of the villa by Danny's wife Linda because of a cigarette after begging for dinner, and basking in the late autumn sun under the eaves.
"I am considered an acquaintance, but I am also an extremely dangerous person. If I encounter it, I will just report my name, and at least I can protect your knees."
Jack paused, and added maliciously, "If he had forgotten my name, you say Jessica is in your hands and bring him to me."
"Who is Jessica?" Danny asked in his forehead. Jessica has changed her name to Catherine and her surname has also changed, so the detective does not know the true identity of the woman Jack had asked him to arrange for work in the hospital before.
But he is not stupid. Such words like "Your woman is in my hands" must not be said.
The guy who can make Jack evaluate this guy as extremely dangerous is definitely not something he can deal with.
In fact, it wasn't Jack who wanted to be a riddle man, but before the incident happened, he didn't want to make a fuss in advance, so he could only perfunctory this guy for the time being, so he simply changed the topic.
"It's better if you don't know some things for the time being. If you want to hear a story, come back to bring a bottle of whiskey to my house. We can talk about the nuclear bomb incident in Florida."
Although several months have passed, the storm caused by the nuclear bomb incident will take a long time to stop.
The IAEA verification team even set up a long-term office on Key West to observe the radiation values of the island of Tsez that were subjected to nuclear explosions and its impact on the surrounding environment.
This matter is a bit far away for Danny, and he doesn't even know that Jack is involved in the whole process. He thought that there was some internal news about the FBI that he wanted to brag about.
But the director seemed to know something, and he showed an interesting expression when he heard this, "I can ask that Mr. Writer to make an appointment with a card game next week. I have a bottle of Middleton that I have been in stock for 15 years."
Middleton Distillery's "Midleton Very Rare" produces only more than 100 barrels per year, and it is said that it is "King of Irish whiskey".
The little sister of the Regan family who was joining in the fun, the assistant prosecutor, Eileen, suddenly had her eyes lit up. She was just as unaware of the truth, but she was still very interested in letting her father take out the treasures in the cellar just to listen to a story.
After the chat, Jack said goodbye from Regan's house and took Linda to the hospital to work.
It’s not because Danny is too busy and has no time, but Jack is really on the way, because the old lover of the extremely dangerous person he used to say is now working as a nurse in Linda’s hospital.
Jessica has been recovering from injury for a while. Although witnesses included in the WPP are usually sent by the bailiff to protect them in the early stage, because the whole thing itself was forged by Jack, he took care of the subsequent work.
Brian sent two female bodyguards to take charge of their usual security work, but most of the time Jessica stayed in the base building with the FBI group, the wanted criminals group.
The residence Jack rented for her was not far from the building, but there were only two female bodyguards living in it. Jessica would only live there when the group was on duty.
With such strict protection, Jessica went out to work, not someone's brain drain, but Jack was consciously testing the detection ability of a certain AI.
The artificial intelligence called "Machine" in "Search of Suspects" is a set of anti-terrorism surveillance system designed and secretly developed by a genius programmer Harold Finch, commissioned by the federal government.
It can monitor electronic communications around the world 24/7, including but not limited to phone calls, emails, surveillance cameras, social media, etc., and analyze the massive data it receives through a series of complex algorithms.
Due to the algorithmic problems at the beginning of Harold Finch's design, the "machine" can not only identify "related threats" (with national security), but also predict some "irrelevant threats" (violent crimes related to ordinary people).
Of course, in actual operation, due to the limitations of computing power and input information flow, the scope that this system can truly fully cover should be limited to this part of the area between New York and Washington, DC.
To avoid privacy violations and some moral considerations, Harold Finch designed the "machine" as a complete "black box" system.
It generates two different sets of "numbers" every day, that is, the social security numbers of relevant personnel. The NSA will forward it to a group of special agents to handle the matter after receiving it.
The other part of the "unrelated threat" number, which involves the prediction of violent crimes related to ordinary people, will theoretically be deleted directly. Of course, this is not the case, otherwise there would be no stories in the original drama. It's almost time for John Riser to show up, but the timeline of this world is too chaotic, and Jack dared not be very sure. He could only choose the strategy of waiting for the rabbit like Danny.
Although he had previously revealed the existence of the "machine" to Rossi and others, all investigations are currently being conducted privately.
He didn't even use the FBI resources to find the whereabouts of Harold Finch, another protagonist in "Secretary Tracking", the maker of the "machine".
Because Rossi and Dana Moger have confirmed that "Desima Technology" is real, it is a government contractor with a low profile and a low-key presence than the "Shangri-La Group".
As an ordinary person on the other side of the ocean in his previous life, Jack had very limited channels for understanding this information.
The company he knows most closely to "Desima Technology" is probably the technology company "Palantir", founded by Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Till.
"Palantir" focuses on providing big data analysis tools for the federal government and the military, especially in the fields of counter-terrorism and intelligence, but it is still far from the "Shadow Government" that "Desima Technology" in the original play.
However, his level of artificial intelligence development in his previous life seemed to be much behind in this world.
At least before he traveled through time, whether it was "Palantir", Google, "Meta (Facebook), Amazon, Microsoft, and even artificial intelligence companies under the control of these giants were still addicted to stacking computing power.
If it weren't for "DS", the stock price of a graphics card company would have risen to a level, but even the rising star Dongda should have not yet developed an AI with its own personality.
Jack is not worried about the intelligence crisis or something. If humans are killed until they are killed and are eventually eliminated, he said that as an individual, he can only accept it with pleasure.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Although he is not an otaku, he is just a mortal who is controlled by various hormones and bioelectric signals in his body. Cyber succubus and so on can't resist it at all.
But if "Desima Technology" wants to become a prototype of a "giant enterprise", or if some private forces want to use this technology to develop a "shadow government", Jack will definitely not agree.
Jack does not think that the general trend of survival of the fittest among species can be compared with his personal ability, but if it is the class oppression within human beings, he will be dissatisfied.
That's right, it's just not convinced.
Acknowledging certain objective reality does not conflict with having ideals. Although Jack almost does not participate in the internal management of the "Shangri-La Group", that is because Chris never engages in the so-called "corporate culture".
Not to mention the so-called ideological issues, the more you work, the less you work, the less you get, the basic principle of maintaining the basic fairness is the fundamental basis for an enterprise to maintain vitality.
Only private enterprises that have stagnant development and are about to die will struggle with the so-called "corporate culture". Isn't the workers working hard all the time for those few melons and two dates? A generous material reward is more inspiring than any so-called "team building".
Jack, who was also a worker in his previous life, has always scoffed at those noble guys, even if he has become a member of the same class as them in essence.
Since coming to this world, Jack has never told others about some things, but on some levels, he and the Americans who advocate so-called freedom have the same end.
The difference is that he has seen true freedom, but the elites in this country want to shout what they lack. The more they have done, the more they have to slander others that have also done (or will do) similar dirty things.
Therefore, Jack "Desima Technology" must be eradicated. There are many ways to guide mankind forward. Democracy, autocracy, dictatorship and even feudalism are nothing more than just a way of rule. You should know that the so-called developed countries in Europe still have aristocratic and royal family.
But Jack must stop the future of Cyberpunk with all his strength. It’s nothing more, just treat it as a “worker” persistence.
Jessica's life is quite comfortable now, but after all, she is under strict protection and feels a little unfree. Jack didn't even tell her the reason in detail, but just vaguely revealed that it was related to her ex-boyfriend.
Jessica only knows that John Reese has been working for the country, once a member of the Army's Special Forces, and has no idea about his entry into the CIA or something.
However, what Jack said about protecting her was to protect Lisser. Jessica was willing to believe that, after all, as a former pillow, she could somewhat detect the differences between Lisser and ordinary soldiers.
In addition to this reason, Jack agreed to her go to the hospital to work, which was a disguised way to give her some freedom, so life was not that difficult.
After all, she is considered a person who has experienced life and death. Jessica herself has a relatively gentle personality. She can save her life and leave the husband who almost killed her. She feels lucky enough to never make any additional requests.
Jack took over Jessica, who had handed over the shift, and returned to the base building, and the members of the wanted criminals team were busy with their own affairs.
Jubar was looking at the list of wanted orders, thinking about which unlucky guy to choose for the team's next target. Clay and Aubrey just came from the small shooting range in the underground garage with a smell of gunpowder.
Hannah and Jiejie were cleaning ingredients in the kitchen, waiting for a chef to come back to make a big meal, while Alice was looking at the tablet in their hands.
Seeing Jack come back with Jessica, Alice's gaze drifted for a moment, then she winked at Jack.
This scene happened to be seen by Jessica. She smiled and took the initiative to walk towards Stella (Clay's wife) who was teasing her son in the living room.
"What's wrong?" Jack walked into the kitchen, took the tablet from Alice's hand, and then subconsciously looked at the direction of the living room.
Above is a record of a case by NYSD (New York State Police) showing that Pete Arnter was found dead at home the night before yesterday, shot on his forehead and a hunting gun registered under his name fell on his feet.
NYSD concluded that he died in a car accident in his wife, and he had never been able to get out of his grief and eventually chose to commit suicide by drinking and bombing.
