The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol

It was a weekend night a few days later. Jack invited several friends to his home for a drink. In addition to the Cassels and his daughter, Danny Regan and his wife, there was also his first visit, specifically mentioning two dozen gymnastics. Jubal Valentine at Lux.

Although the open kitchen in this penthouse apartment is not suitable for some dishes that require high fire, stewing and baking are not a problem. Jack bought some local free-range chickens and cooked one portion of white-chopped chicken and one portion of roasted chicken. , as well as American favorites like French fries and fried chicken.

In addition, there were steaks from Texas and seafood from Boston, which is more than 300 kilometers away, which overwhelmed the guests one by one. Danny even sat on the sofa without any image and burped.

"I strongly recommend that Jack attend our family's Sunday dinner every week in the future."

"What, are you tired of Linda's craftsmanship?" Jack's little provocation successfully aroused the irritation of his wife Linda, who gently gave this guy a few blows on the shoulder.

"Of course not, I'm just tired of the old man's same old barbecue. Since the last time I tasted the delicious beef shoulder you marinated, my grandpa has been trying to decipher your secret recipe over and over again, and then he understood it in the past few weeks. We became poor guinea pigs.”

Danny made a face, but his words successfully resonated with Linda, "Our two children are indeed complaining. If it weren't for their grandpa's video game console, I'm afraid it would cost a lot of money to coax them over on Sunday. A lot of strength.”

"Then I'll write a recipe later. Well, let's pass it on through Linda." Jack winked at Linda, who was now the real mistress of the Reagan family.

After cleaning up the mess of cups and plates, Jack made a pot of jasmine tea to help everyone digest their food, and talked about the case not long ago.

"In the end, Chloe convinced his father, and Mr. Ford dropped the charges against Helton. There may be some trouble with the district attorney, but considering the NYPD's mediation and what happened to his daughter, the final result may be Just a sentence of some community service.”

After listening to the three FBI present here talk about the kidnapping case that just concluded this week, Cassel, who had originally prepared a good story, exclaimed,

"This is incredible! I thought my experience this week was exciting enough, but... But you, my God, why are your cases so dramatic!"

Linda wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and glared at her husband fiercely, "It seems that there are still many problems with your NYPD's work."

Danny felt innocent, "I'm just a little police detective. You should complain like this to Frank, he is the head of the NYPD."

Alexis, who had been silently receiving education on youth issues, asked curiously, "What happened to the bad guy named Hugo? Did you catch him?"

Hannah smiled and replied, "The only guy who was shot dead by Jack in this operation was Hugo. The remnants of that gang are still wanted. The Hartford Police Gang Response Team promised to clean them up completely, and the FBI is also We will assist them in this effort.”

Both Linda and Alexis looked very satisfied, just like reading a novel, the happy ending is always the most popular one.

"Thanks to Jack, otherwise this case would have been screwed up by me from the beginning." Jubal was still reflecting on his own problem. He probably thought of the mistake he made by acting too hastily when he first communicated with Helton. mistake.

"The rest of the work is all thanks to you. If you hadn't taken care of Helton and bought enough time, even if we could find Stephanie, it would be too late."

Hannah still has a good impression of Jubal. A boss who can step up at critical moments is much better than those guys who sit in the office and just talk.

Coupled with the extremely strong leader Dana Moger, Jack and Hannah are quite satisfied with the current team.

Then Cassell also talked about the first time he and his muse, Detective Beckett, really... uh... worked together to solve a case.

It's a pity that Cassell couldn't really get the highest honor in the world of suspense novels this time, because the real murderer was not some insane fanboy.

As mentioned earlier, Beckett recognized a crime scene as a scene from Castle's less popular novel Flowers for Your Grave.

Then this reminded her of a case not long ago. The body of the deceased lay in a white pentagram outlined with salt. It was a scene in Cassel's other unpopular work "Hell Without Fire".

So Beckett took Cassell back to the police station for questioning, and the result was the previous scene, where the beautiful iceberg detective was made mad to death by an obscure best-selling author.

Of course, according to Cassell, it was a very interesting conversation, because he accidentally discovered that Beckett was actually a fan of his books, and a very senior fan, otherwise it would be impossible to remember his unpopular works.

On the second day of that inquiry, Cassel visited the 12th Precinct again and proposed to Beckett's immediate boss, Superintendent Roy Montgomery, that he was willing to actively assist in the investigation.

Although Beckett was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to accept the reality. The two spent a whole day searching through hundreds of letters from readers in Cassel and found letters from the suspected murderer, which were hand-drawn. , drawing two previous crime scenes.

The trouble, however, was that although fingerprints were extracted from the murderer's letter, there was a queue to compare the fingerprints, which took a full week.

"Is this why you called me before and asked for Mike Taylor's contact information?" Jack thought of the inexplicable phone call Cassel made to him a few days ago.

"Yes, Detective Kate Beckett said it was because of process problems such as system backlog, so I thought of the director of the CSI laboratory I met at the party at your house last time. He was very easy to talk to and only used two words. It took just a few hours to get it done for us.”

Cassell looked triumphant.

"I thought you would go directly to Mr. Mayor, your big fan." Jack gave this guy a little yin and yang.

"Although his phone number is indeed in my speed dial list, can I contact him for this kind of thing? Well, I remember it." Cassel's words earned Danny, who is also the NYPD, a big eye roll.

"Let me guess, Kate must be very dissatisfied with your behavior."

Hannah didn't have many friends in New York before. After meeting Beckett and Stella from CSI, the three girls kept in touch quite frequently. Although they are not close friends yet, they are at least good friends. They call each other on a first-name basis. its name.

Cassel waved his hands indifferently, "At least we solved the problem. Where did I just say it? Well, just when we found the suspected murderer, another murder occurred."

It can only be said that Cassel is a well-known writer. His words are as good as his pen, and the stories he tells are quite fascinating.

Just as Cassel and Beckett were working together to find the murderer, another female body was found in the top-floor swimming pool of a high-end apartment in the city center.

The deceased was wearing a yellow evening gown and gold high-heeled shoes, which was exactly the same as the scene in Cassel's other novel "Death of the Prom Queen".

The internet was disconnected at home today and was just repaired.
