Chapter 792 For the truth

The city of Patterson is located north of Morristown and Newark. Jack's Hellcat arrived at its destination in less than 20 minutes with its lights flashing.

"What's the specific situation?" When the two arrived at the location, the place was already blocked by police cordon tape.

Hannah squatted in front of the body to check the situation. Jubal stood beside her. Aubrey and Clay were not far away. One was interviewing witnesses and the other was rummaging through the trash.

Jubal sighed, "Officer Amy Campbell was shot in the head at close range. She came to respond to a homeless homeless call. The call was not made to 911, but directly to the Paterson Police Department. Non-emergency hotline.”

Jack squatted down next to Hannah. The deceased was an African-American woman who was about forty years old. She fell to the ground next to a park bench.

"Sounds like a trap? How can you be sure that it was Gabriel who did it?" Jiejie asked.

At this time Aubrey came over and replied, "Because some witnesses said that there was a policeman in the park before. About a while ago, three witnesses identified Guy in six photos of different people. Blier.

No one heard the gunfire, but soon after, several other witnesses saw a homeless man leaving the park as casually as if he were taking a weekend walk. "

Jack looked up and observed his surroundings. This was a promenade by a small river. The benches were slightly out of the way. It was not yet 7 pm, and it should have been dinner time when the crime occurred.

"The place and time were carefully chosen, and Gabriel must have put a lot of effort into it."

"You mean he deliberately chose the time and place with the fewest people in the park." Jubal nodded slightly, confirming Jack's judgment.

At this time, Clay also came back, holding an evidence bag in his hand, "This is what I found in the trash can over there, an anonymous mobile phone. I bet that the number of this mobile phone should be the same as the one I called." The number given to the police station is consistent.”

"Let me notify the ERT team to collect evidence. Don't let go of the trash can and the bench." Jubal said, picking up his cell phone and calling the Newark office.

Hannah stood up and looked at the clear river in the park, "A police officer from Paterson City just told me that Officer Amy Campbell is also the mother of two children."

"What exactly does this guy want to do? Is he just venting his emotions or does he have other intentions?" Clay was a little confused.

Aubrey's cell phone rang. He opened the screen and raised his eyebrows, "Maybe this can tell us the answer. Alice found a post on Reddit, which was a statement that Gabriel just made. "

Reddit is the American version of Tieba, which prefers social news. Aubrey directly transferred the video content to the tablet, and other people's heads gathered around him.

"I'm Officer Gabriel Clark with the Morristown Police Department and I want to make a quick statement that we live in a world of lies - fake news, fake truth.

Dirty things are laundered, photos are forged, politicians confuse right and wrong, and people are keen on empty words.

You should realize that there is only the truth, and the most important thing in life is the truth. I have always respected the truth, but others do not.

I repent that I have killed people, and I will continue to repent because I will continue to kill people until they take the initiative to tell the truth. "

The video ended abruptly, and Jack couldn't help but frowned. The Riddler is the most hateful thing. You should really explain what it is.

At night, everyone in the command car had something to eat and then got busy.

Hannah turned around in front of the computer, and with Aubrey's reluctant eyes, she took away the last piece of pizza on the table, "From the data of the original video, the video was uploaded yesterday morning, but it was not until this evening that the person was killed. Posted after Amy Campbell.”

"OK, this means that he had arranged everything a long time ago and had a thorough plan. Are there any other gains? Are there any similarities between the murdered police officers?" Jubal looked at Jiejie, who was in charge of the background investigation.

"There are currently no problems with the backgrounds of the two state troopers. I am expanding the investigation into their relatives, but Officer Amy Campbell, who was killed today, was a member of the Newark Police Department before coming to the Paterson Police Department. member.

She was transferred from the Newark Police Department two months before Gabriel was assigned to the Morristown Police Department. "Jiejie handed a file to Jubal.

The latter frowned, "This doesn't mean anything. It might just be a coincidence. They may have worked together before, but Gabriel didn't necessarily target her."

Hannah rolled her eyes and objected, "What if we think about it in reverse, assuming that Gabriel is the Amy Campbell he is targeting, what would he do?"

"If you want to know a police officer's patrol schedule and make sure the person answering the police is Amy Campbell, you only need a police radio and spend a little time listening." Jack responded in time.

Jubal was silent for a moment and picked up his phone. "It seems that we need to advance the meeting with Inspector Peroni. We must understand what happened to Gabriel at the Newark Police Station."

"Is it too early? I don't think the other party will tell the truth honestly at this time of crisis." When Jiejie contacted the Newark Police Department before, the other party's attitude was that it meant non-stick pans, and now it is even less so. Maybe he relented, Jack had a hunch that his trip might be in vain.

Jubal showed a hint of cunning on his face, "So I also thought about it in reverse. We don't need the inspector to speak, we just need to confirm the other person's attitude. So are you interested in accompanying me, Jack?"

Jack was naturally more respectful than obeying the order, leaving everyone to continue to dig up the victim's background information. He drove Jubal to a branch of the Newark Police Department.

Newark is the largest port city in New Jersey, responsible for nearly 30% of the shipping throughput around the New York area, and is also the main unloading port for automobiles and lumber commodities on the East Coast of the United States.

However, the city itself is not large, with a population of less than 300,000. Therefore, the size of the Newark Police Department is completely incomparable to that of the NYPD. The precinct where Jack and Jubal are heading now has only about 200 police officers.

The Inspector Peloni (Superintendent) they wanted to visit was the chief of this branch. When they saw two FBI visiting, this old white policeman who looked in his 50s and had thick white hair seemed very enthusiastic. Received them in his office.

After receiving the tablet handed over by Jubal, Inspector Peroni showed a dumbfounded expression after reading Gabriel's statement.

"Sorry, I don't know what this has to do with our police department? We have always advocated fairness, but this does not mean that everyone can pass the internship smoothly."

"But we have also read Gabriel's internship report in your police station. The reason why he failed seems to be a little vague. Could you please explain it to us?"

Jack is now a supervisory detective. Although he is still tender-faced, he is no longer suitable to play the role of a dazed young man, so he can only speak in a business-like manner.

"Of course, am I that kind of ruthless superior? I don't want that child to be unable to find a position in other police stations. Besides, there are some things that are really inconvenient to write into the report."

Inspector Peroni's smile was very "genuine." "Officer Gabriel Clark has a rigid personality and is more sincere, but he is too black and white in judging matters. You should understand that being too rigid will not do this job." work."

"Yes, as a grassroots police officer, you need to be flexible so as not to break people down, right?" Jubal agreed with a smile.

Hearing that his point of view was agreed with, Inspector Peroni's old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, "Yes, that's what it means."
