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

"Mr. Director." Irene's tone was a little angry, perhaps because Frank had expressed confidence in herself just now, and then he gave such a hint to Jack in the blink of an eye, which made her look a little confused.

"The King's County District Attorney is here, sir." At this time, the female secretary Baker gently knocked on the door and reminded outside the door.

"You will receive the greetings first, Beck." Frank stood up from the desk as he spoke. Jack quickly put away the information and returned it to Erin, and then stood up and prepared to leave.

This swab contamination incident involves not only the CSI New York laboratory, but also police laboratories in other states and regions. Similarly, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office is not the only one that needs to be busy. Frank also has to receive prosecutors from other regions who come to report the situation. Officials.

The Director walked up to his daughter and put his arms around her, "You know what? My dear, I still remember the way that bastard Reed laughed from beginning to end in the court, let alone the nonsense he said to you. That scene.

No one should treat a Reagan daughter like that, and on a side note, I'm glad you finally got rid of your ex-husband and changed your last name back. "

"I won't let him get away with it." Irene bit her lip, stretched out her arms to hug her father and coquettishly for a while before letting go, and then glanced at Jack indifferently, looking a little embarrassed.

Jack almost whistled in the air to show that he didn't see anything, but Frank obviously had something to tell him, so he could only lower his head behind the two of them and pretend to organize the gun box.

Frank raised his wrist and glanced at the time, then turned to Jack and said, "There is still one hour until the press conference. Before that, you can go to the shooting range of the police station downstairs to try this gun.

Also remember to ask for a business card from Baker and contact him directly. They will send the remaining guns and accessories to the place you specify. "

"Thank you very much, Director Reagan." Jack thanked him sincerely. This was a good thing worth $1,000. His small action team had limited funds, so he could save whatever he could.

Went to the underground shooting range attached to the NYPD headquarters downstairs, put on soundproof earmuffs and tried firing a few magazines. Jack was very satisfied with this pistol. Although it was slightly heavier than the Glock 22, it was better than the Glock 22 he had always used as a backup. The FK7.5 gun is much lighter.

Moreover, the recoil of this gun is much softer than those of large-caliber pistols. Even if it is used by a female agent, there will be no problem. The most important thing is that the magazine capacity is the same as the Glock 22, which is 15 rounds. Influences the persistence of "multi-hole party" people in emptying magazines.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jack was satisfied and put the gun back into the case and left the New York Police Department. He came to the Police Plaza opposite. At this time, the place was already overcrowded. Reporters and busybodies surrounded the podium on the steps. It's all watery.

The mayor who was speaking was a middle-aged man with white hair, who looked slightly younger than Frank. Sure enough, as Dana Moger said, judging from his remarks, he did indeed I stand with the NYPD.

In my impression, the mayor seems to have always been slightly critical of the NYPD, especially Frank. It seems that the director (Police Commission) he appointed before was not able to control the people below, so he resigned in anger.

Unexpectedly, in his speech just now, he proactively promised to work with the NYPD to deal with the current problems head-on and work hard to eliminate the negative impact caused by it.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he is trying to seek re-election. Just when Jack was thinking this, a reporter asked a sharp question, what exactly caused the problem in the DNA test this time.

The mayor seemed to be well prepared, and turned around and asked the question to the head of the New York City Council's Public Safety Committee, a female African-American city councilor.

Then Jack knew why the mayor would stand with the NYPD this time. The black aunt, known as Ms. Collins, made a speech after taking the stage, directly targeting the mayor and the NYPD.

"In short, in the past ten years, the city has tripled the number of crimes proven by single DNA evidence and spent a lot of government funding, but today we are experiencing catastrophic consequences.

So the main problem is that our police rely too much on DNA evidence, which is draining municipal finances, and they completely depart from the good old ways of handling cases, which are traditional methods of collecting hair, fibers, uh, fingerprints and so on.

That's all work that should be done by the police department's own evidence team, don't you think? Director Reagan? "

Jack in the audience could only shake his head secretly after hearing this messy accusation. As expected, Mike Taylor was right. Politicians would not let go of this opportunity.

The New York City Council Public Safety Committee is one of the superior financial departments of the NYPD and is responsible for reviewing city security expenditures and some special appropriations.

He silently took out his mobile phone and Googled the background of the city councilor, and then discovered some interesting things. This aunt was obviously an ambitious person. Not only did she participate in several so-called committees, but she also owned a company that was said to be quite wealthy. With a strong campaign fund, he is currently participating in the mayoral campaign.

Obviously, even Frank did not expect that he would be called out in public. For a moment, his expression even showed a bit of surprise. Obviously, he did not get any information in advance, and he did not expect that he would be called out in public by a city councilor. Get angry in situations.

At this time, even the reporters in the audience looked at each other. There was no surprise on their faces that they had caught the big news. They would understand if the congresswoman directly fired at the mayor, but towards Frank Ray What kind of trouble did Gen and the New York Police Department led by him make?

The people are confused about the situation. How can they, the media reporters, not understand what is going on? Strictly speaking, the NYPD and its affiliated CSI laboratory can be considered victims of this incident.

And now that a group of criminals are about to be released into society, everyone still expects the police to work hard to find evidence and send these bastards back to prison as soon as possible. Even if it doesn't work, they should appropriately increase the frequency of patrols near the residences of these bastards.

However, Frank, who was named, obviously had no intention of correcting or refuting Ms. Collins's fallacious accusation.

"I don't want to shirk my responsibility as the police chief, Madam Congressman." After saying this, Frank's old face twitched slightly, then he squeezed out a smile, turned around and nodded slightly to the black aunt.

"But the public should rest assured that this will never happen again. We will dispatch the NYPD's own inspection team to conduct irregular inspections of police equipment and consumable suppliers that may have hidden dangers."

"But the problem still exists. The most dangerous villain will soon continue to wander around New York City." An old acquaintance among the reporters in the audience, who is also Frank's secret lover, raised a microphone with the news station's logo. said the voice.

"I know who the person you are referring to is, and I still remember those days of panic, Miss Davidson." Seeing the tacit support coming out in time, the smile on Frank's face became much more natural.

"I want to use various media to convey our commitment to the general public. The NYPD will spare no effort to ensure everyone's safety."

——

Half an hour later, still in Frank's office, standing and sitting, two men, one old and one young, lit cigars again.

After a long while, Jack, who was leaning on the sofa, sighed heavily, "You should know, Frank, even if the FBI takes action to kill one of the most dangerous villains, if there is no very reasonable reason or timing, on the cusp of such a storm, , it will still cause an uproar in public opinion, right?"

Frank took a puff of his cigar, and after a while he slowly exhaled the smoke, with a sly smile on his face that didn't match his age.

"I'm afraid you have misunderstood some of my thoughts, Jack. The reason why I called you and Irene together today is because I hope you can pay a little attention to my daughter in the future."

"Huh?" This time it was Jack's turn to be extremely surprised. The age difference is a bit big, doesn't it seem appropriate?

Quickly eliminating this unlikely idea from his mind, Jack turned his mind three more times before tentatively asking, "You mean, you want me to protect your daughter?"

Frank's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Of course, what do you think I meant?"

"Uh" Jack didn't dare to show the slightest hint of guilt, and immediately puffed up his chest and expressed his loyalty, "Of course there is no problem."

Then he immediately changed the subject, "But may I know why?"

Maybe someone's acting skills were too superb and didn't show any flaws, or maybe Frank didn't bother to dig deeper. He sat down on the sofa opposite Jack and flicked the ashes of his cigarette before speaking in a serious tone.

"As mentioned before, I once attended the trial of Eileen suing Dick Reed. The look in that beast's eyes made me feel sick, whether from the perspective of a veteran police officer with more than 30 years of experience, or from the perspective of a father. From a different perspective, do you understand what I mean?”

"I understand." Jack nodded. Frank suspected that the pervert might attack his daughter after he was released from prison, so he hoped that he could protect Erin's safety.
