American Detective: Starting as a Rookie Cop in an American TV Show

Chapter 1464: Detective Doudou achieves new success

“No, you are completely different kinds of people. Kind-hearted Jennifer would never inflict the suffering she has experienced on innocent people,” Jack gently stroked his lover’s soft blonde hair, comforting her softly.

He doesn't intend to change his assessment that Root is a madman; at most, he'll add the adjective "genius" before "madman."

Although there is no concrete evidence of what happened afterward, a general inference can be drawn from the clues found so far.

Two years after Hana's disappearance, Gen, who is still a minor, has become a skilled hacker and begins to plot revenge for his friend.

She first opened a joint account in the names of Trent and Hannah, and then stole $10 from a drug dealer named Joseph Barria and transferred it into it.

After discovering that the money they had "hard-earned" through drug trafficking had vanished, the drug dealers naturally set their sights on another person in the joint account, Trent Russell, who was also the more suspicious.

What followed was predictable: the drug dealers approached Trent, and the unsuspecting banker vehemently denied it, leading to his being accused of lying and ultimately shot dead by the enraged drug dealers.

This was probably the first crime she planned and committed when she was 14 years old, with the aim of avenging her friend, although the method was somewhat immature and full of uncertainty.

Overall, however, the tactics of hiding behind the scenes and using others to do their dirty work are quite characteristic of Genji's style today.

"Moreover, the 'machine' giving Hannah's number probably wasn't just asking us to help Gen find her friend's body."

Jack glanced at his phone, and the message on it immediately made him sit up; there was no way he could stay in bed any longer.

"What's wrong?" Jie Jie asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"It's time to go back to the East Coast," Alice traced a still-active credit card through her book purchase history, which had just been used at a gas station in Wheaton, Maryland, about 12 hours earlier.

Using the alias Kelly Dyson—a false identity—she retrieved gas station surveillance footage and spotted a middle-aged man resembling Finch in the passenger seat of a Mondeo.

At the highway exit leaving the town, there is a road sign that reads "Welcome to Bishop's Town".

"I really don't know how to thank you for your help."

Sheriff Landry pressed his cowboy hat to his left breast and bowed slightly to the two FBI agents to express his gratitude.

As Jack shook hands with him, he also put his other hand on the old sheriff's arm, indicating that there was no need for him to be so polite. "Without your meticulous notes and records from back then, which have been preserved intact to this day, we would not have been able to find out the truth so quickly."

He has met many small-town police officers, but few are as dedicated and responsible as this old sheriff, and who uphold justice.

In most remote areas of the federal government, sheriffs and local police departments lack effective oversight and restraint, making them easy tools for local tyrants and families to rule the area.

For specific examples, one can refer to certain regions of Seris where clan power is stubbornly entrenched; an extreme example is another ancient Eastern power.

"Are you really not planning to stay here a few more days? Now is the perfect time to enjoy hunting and fishing." The old sheriff tried to persuade him to stay a little longer.

"That was indeed the original plan." Jack glanced at Jie Jie beside him with a slight hesitation. They had agreed to investigate the clues and take a vacation at the same time, but they were so busy solving the case that they didn't get to do anything.

Jie Jie, on the other hand, seemed unconcerned and readily replied, "Some emergency has occurred, and we must return to the East immediately." Sheriff Landry looked even more regretful than the two of them. Just as he was about to try to persuade them to stay, he suddenly slapped his forehead as if he had thought of something and pulled a photograph out of his breast pocket.

"This was found by Hannah's father among her belongings. The girl standing next to Hannah is Sam Groves. They were very close friends."

The old sheriff probably guessed something; at least he knew that these two FBI agents weren't there specifically for Hannah's disappearance.

In the photo, Hana is carrying a shoulder bag, smiling sweetly and looking directly at the camera, while the girl standing next to her has not yet fully developed her features and is much shorter, looking quite ordinary.

"Twenty years have passed, and time really can change a lot of things." Jie Jie said meaningfully, looking at Gen, who was only 12 years old in the photo.

"They told me to pick them up at the airport, but if I had known you were traveling in such a luxurious private jet, I should have rented a stretch Lincoln or a Cadillac to match."

Standing at the foot of the Bombardier business jet's gangway, "Detective Bean" looked up at the two of them, her eyes filled with undisguised surprise and envy.

"Remember to wear your waiter uniform next time." Jack deliberately pretended to hand him the suitcase he was carrying.

Fosco actually took it, and of course, he didn't hold back, asking, "Where's the tip?"

"You've eaten so many fancy meals from me and I've never seen you pay for them," Jack replied with a look of disdain.

The jokes are over, let's get straight to the point.

"Riser said you did a great job this time, finding out where Root and Finch are. Can you tell me more about it?"

When Jack asked about this, Frosko perked up and, with a touch of pride, shared his discoveries from the past two days.

Leon Tou's little trouble was resolved the night Jack and JJ left New York. Reese used the guy to lure out the remaining members of the Aryan Brotherhood and their leader, and the NYPD launched a swift and decisive operation to wipe them out.

However, Leon Tou didn't gain anything either. Although his double-crossing perfectly exploited legal loopholes, the bearer bonds he converted from the stolen money were all chewed up by the dog and turned into worthless paper.

The dog thus got a new name – “Little Bear”, which came from Reese’s brilliant idea to name it by taking the word “bearer”, a homophone of “bearer bonds”.

Having made another "new contribution," Frost became the star detective in the department, almost overshadowing Danny.

As a result, Fusco, who was getting a little cocky, was targeted by a federal agent who called himself Hersh, who contacted him to inquire about the progress of the investigation into Alicia Cowen's case.

Fortunately, Detective "Bean" was not blinded by his emotions. He also had to thank Jack and the "POIs" for not hiding too much key information from him beforehand, and he also had to thank his "undercover experience" during that period, which made him realize the danger immediately.

After a natural performance of feigning ignorance, he successfully fooled Hersh and then informed Risser.

Later, Fusco even dared to track the other party in reverse and successfully hacked into the unregistered phone used by the agent using the hacking software that Finch had left on his phone.
