America, starting as a trainee police officer

Chapter 117 News of Marcus

Police station.

Tim, Lopez, Levi, and Lucy returned to the office.

What is behavioral predictive analytics?

Lucy asked Tim with a curious look on her face.

Since Tim refuted Jessica, it means he knows what it is.

"Cell phone background data is used to predict future behavior. The FBI loves this stuff. They'd rather sit in front of a computer fiddling with data than go out on the street and get their shoes dirty."

Tim made a comment.

Li Wei, listening nearby, couldn't help but mentally complain as well.

When he thought of behavioral prediction, he immediately thought of psychometrics.

It contains a system that can predict a person's potential probability of committing a crime.

It is possible to determine whether someone will become a criminal before they commit a crime.

But then the white-haired guy appeared, which made the system seem like a mere decoration.

Of course, this is just in anime.

In reality, human nature is even more unpredictable, let alone predicting crime.

In addition, it is clear that Tim really hates bureaucracy.

"On the other hand, if it helps solve a case or catch a fugitive, isn't it worth a try?"

Hearing Lucy's words, Tim frowned: "Whose side are you really on?"

Li Wei watched Lucy act foolishly and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

He also knew the principle that a cat is a good cat as long as it catches mice, regardless of whether it's black or white.

But any reason must yield to one's position.

One must first have a stance.

After all, they are social animals.

"Do you have to choose sides in something like this? I'm on your side, absolutely on your side."

Lucy realized she had made a foolish mistake and quickly tried to salvage the situation.

Just then, a Black man walked over.

Tim went up to him: "Deacon, thank you for coming."

"It's nothing. I knew you'd call me today." The black man called Deacon smiled slightly.

Deacon watched TV, so he naturally knew that his gang members had escaped.

"Hi," Lucy greeted Deacon.

"Hello, Deacon Joe."

Lucy Chen

"Oh, is there a rookie who got wrecked by Bradford?"

Deacon joked, then looked at Levi: "And this is?"

"Li." Li Wei didn't say much.

Deacon, seeing that Levi wasn't very enthusiastic, didn't mind. He looked at Lucy and said, "I still remember the days when you were a rookie instructor, wearing long-sleeved uniforms on duty in the sweltering summer."

"Oh, do you have any photos?" Lucy was clearly interested in Tim's embarrassing situation.

Upon hearing this, Deacon chuckled and said, "Haha, I like her."

"Whatever you like." Tim was a little speechless. "Deacon was the first suspect I arrested. He's also one of the few who returned to society from top-security prison and started a new life."

Hearing Tim bring this up, Deacon shook his head: "Dude, I swear, every time I see you, I feel like I've traveled through time."

"What I mean is, I spent six years in Qin Ke Prison because of you, my nemesis. I said goodbye to my past, retired from crime, and started a family. The only thing that hasn't changed in all these years is your ever-present dark lines on your face."

Upon hearing this, Tim frowned: "What black lines?"

He shook his head: "Since you were expecting my call, you must understand why I called you here."

Tim didn't want to continue the small talk and quickly got down to business.

"Marcus Gibson, look, I have to arrest him before he makes contact with the 54th Street gang!"

"Yea, Marcus used to be one of my men. It's a shame he left me and went to the 54th Street gang. But Marcus would have thought of going to the 54th Street gang last."

Hearing this answer, which was somewhat contrary to what everyone expected, Tim looked at Deacon with a puzzled expression.

"Marcus got involved with Cohen's woman. Before the trial."

Upon hearing this, Tim's face darkened.

I was utterly speechless.

"Who is he talking about? Who is Cohen?" Lucy asked, a little confused.

"The leader of the 54th Street gang. That kid won't go unless he's looking for death."

Tim sighed.

To be fair, this kid is pretty tough.

Knowing he was going to jail, he slept with his sister-in-law before he went in.

They weren't afraid that their boss would bribe gang members in prison to stab them whenever they wanted.

It's even better now.

If he were caught by the 54th Street gang, Cohen would definitely kill him on the spot, giving him no chance to go to jail.

"Yes, assuming Cohen finds Marcus before you, Marcus will be dead for sure."

Half an hour has passed.

"Hey, you—uh—after knowing me for so many years, do you think I've changed?"

After Deacon left, Tim couldn't help but turn to Angela for answers.

Angela looked at him like this and suppressed the urge to laugh.

"It's getting more and more annoying."

"I'm serious, there's absolutely no change?"

Clearly, he was genuinely provoked by Deacon's words.

"Of course."

"What has changed?" Tim asked Lopez expectantly.

"What do you mean? You're getting older. Elizabeth's blow to you will surely change you."

Hearing this, Tim fell into self-doubt: "Did it change me, or did it make me—more self-centered?"

"Why are you asking these questions?" Lopez looked at Tim, puzzled.

"I just have a question in my heart. Have I become a bit too conformist lately? How should I put it, I'm afraid to challenge myself."

Listening to the philosophical discussion between the two, Levi and Lucy exchanged bewildered glances, but since both were instructors, they could only remain silent and listen.

"When has the renowned Tim Bradford ever had a moment of self-reflection?"

Seeing Lopez say that, Tim didn't want to make a fool of himself.

"Never mind, forget I said anything."

Seeing that the two had finally finished their philosophical discussion, Lucy quickly asked, "Is there any feasible plan to find Marcus?"

She quickly drew everyone's attention back to the case.

As a psychology major, Lucy had a lot to say.

But I stubbornly held back.

"Go out into the streets and exploit some of the members of his gang. See you later."

After saying goodbye to Lopez, Tim nodded to Levi and left with Lucy.

"Hey, Bradford!" Lopez called out to him at that moment.

"At the same time, I've become more sluggish than before. Would you call that a change?"

Lucy held back her laughter as she listened to Lopez's words.

Just then, Tim's phone vibrated.

Tim picked up his phone and glanced at it; the smile on his face vanished instantly.

"GodDamn!"

"What happened?" Lucy asked.

"Deacon sent a text message; he has information on Marcus's whereabouts."

After saying that, Tim turned around and shouted to Lopez, "Lopez! We have news about Marcus!"

Upon hearing this, Lopez looked at Levi beside him and said, "Let's go, rookie!"
