Volume 1: First Arrival Chapter 067 Various Rumors
"You should know that those legends are either disabled or dead, right?"
Jason, regained his usual composure.
After complaining, he took out a small round comb from his pocket and combed his hair while whistling out of tune.
"I am indeed too handsome and too precious. I am a treasure to women. I should be kept by their side instead of being a wooden sculpture on the altar. I am working for the welfare of mankind."
Kirk smiled. "You should know that Narcissus died by drowning, right?"
"Why would a narcissist drown?" Jason's face was full of question marks. He obviously didn't understand the connection between the two words "Narcissus" and "narcissism". Naturally, he had no idea about the Narcissus boy in ancient Greek mythology, which exposed his IQ.
puff.
Callum was having a hard time holding back his laughter.
Jason's eyes moved back and forth between Kirk and Callum for a moment, looking at Kirk, then looking at Callum, and then deliberately showing an expression of sudden realization.
"Oh. Oh..."
"I know, of course I know, he, he was drowned, right?"
"ha."
"Ha ha."
As he spoke, his words became more and more dry, and you could tell he had no confidence. Pretending to know something when you don't is also a technical job.
But fortunately, Kirk was not prepared to continue teasing Jason, and patted Callum on the shoulder, "I'll go say hello to the captain."
In just three weeks, Kirk became friends with everyone in the 14th Precinct, including the precinct's top leaders, and established a comprehensive network of contacts. Although there is no direct benefit at present and he often has to pay for it, this is a long-term investment that lays a solid foundation for subsequent work in advance.
Unless Kirk is willing to keep investigating cases of cheating, private detectives still need to establish good relationships with law enforcement agencies if they want to make progress. Even if it is not for the case, private detectives often need to deal with law enforcement agencies during the investigation and research process.
Moreover, after Kirk's contact and understanding, he found that Shawn Jackson, the top leader of the 14th Precinct, was also a character.
The 14th Precinct in Manhattan South, also known as the Midtown South Precinct, has a less clear and precise division of administrative areas. The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and other authoritative media have slightly different definitions of the division of districts, but the basic framework is similar:
It stretches from 29th Street in the north to 45th Street in the south; from 9th Avenue in the west to Lexington Avenue in the east.
This area includes the famous Empire State Building, Flatiron Building, Pennsylvania Station, Madison Square Garden, Koreatown and so on.
There are many tourists and the crowd is surging.
This is one of the largest police stations in South Manhattan. It ranks at the top in terms of both the number of police officers and the number of cases, which represents the most difficulties but also the most opportunities.
If you want to avoid trouble, it is a wise choice to avoid the 14th Precinct; but if you want to get promoted, the 14th Precinct can provide you with countless opportunities.
It is conceivable that such an important branch can make or break a career or a future star, and not just anyone can serve as the director.
Sean, for a black man to get this job, the weighing and game of interests behind it is far from simple.
Moreover, one can feel the intimacy of their relationship just by looking at the way the police officers in the branch address each other: "Captain."
Although captain and superintendent are both the same word, "captain", there are slight differences in the contexts in which they are addressed: if the surname is added, it is "Superintendent Jackson", emphasizing the title; if the address is made directly, it is "captain", emphasizing the team, as they are on the same team.
These details are not too obvious and are often hidden in the subtle and minor living habits, but they can often make people feel the difference in the atmosphere of the police station.
In Kirk's opinion, Sean's career should not be limited to the 14th Precinct. This is a springboard, and Sean will jump very high.
Therefore, when dealing with such a smart person, Kirk was not prepared to rush things, but to proceed step by step.
Today I have the opportunity to say hello to Callum while promoting him.
I had just walked a short distance when a figure came across.
"...Kirk, where's the box of donuts? "
It’s Kevin!
The bulky body teleported incredibly quickly and squeezed into the field of vision, filling the entire screen.
Kirk still looked sleepy, and instead looked back at him questioningly: What are you talking about?
Kevin still held the donut box in his hand, which was empty. The icing on his mouth that he hadn't wiped clean was evidence of his crime. Even if his eyes were innocent and his expression was kind, he still revealed the ending of the parents in "Spirited Away". "What about the other box?"
Kirk finally reacted, looked around, and soon found the whereabouts of the other box of donuts -
"Derek."
Kevin followed Kirk's gaze and finally found the donut box, which was placed on Derek Kane's desk.
There was only one donut left in the completely opened box. It was about to be emptied, but Kevin was about to step forward when he stopped and turned to look at Kirk with a look of help, "Kirk? That's Derek's desk."
"Yes, I know." Kirk nodded, seemingly not understanding the deeper meaning of Kevin's words at all.
And then, Kirk was gone... gone...
Kevin was left alone there, looking at Derek's desk with a troubled face, and stealing glances at the box affectionately, just like Romeo secretly meeting Juliet, but he was still frightened by Derek's interference in their relationship, so he didn't dare to get close.
Everyone in the 14th Precinct knows that Kevin is afraid of Derek. The reckless Derek should be the number one devil in the precinct, so it is normal for Kevin to still feel scared.
But here’s the thing…
Now Derek was not at his seat at all, and no one knew where he had gone. Kevin was still intimidated as he looked at the empty table.
"To be or not to be, that is the question," and for Kevin, "to be or not to be, that is the question."
On the other side, Kirk went to say hello to Captain Sean.
Here, Jason and a group of friends surrounded Callum, eager to find out what happened in the Plaza Hotel. This was indeed not something that could be encountered often in the police station.
Wow!
Roar!
oh!
He was amazed again and again, and envy could not help but show in his eyes. Compared with the trivial daily patrol work, this was real police work, even more legendary than the cases solved by the Investigation Bureau.
"...I thought that stories like this only appeared in 'Bad Boys', but now it seems that artistic creation is still derived from life."
Someone exclaimed in his ear, causing the people around him to nod in agreement, and one by one they patted Callum, trying to get some good luck.
Seeing this scene, Jason showed a surprised expression.
"Haven't you heard the rumors about Kirk? This isn't the first time, apparently."
