America, starting as a trainee police officer

Chapter 16 Punishment Mission

"Well, I was attacked by her first thing in the morning on my way to work."

Li Wei shrugged.

"She attacked you?"

Lopez looked at Fiona in disbelief. Was this woman really that brave?

Li Wei didn't look particularly strong, but she knew that this guy could lift a strong man with one hand.

"Ah, look who this is, my precious daughter, how did you end up like this?"

Just then, an annoying voice rang out, and a policeman was seen returning Frank's personal belongings to him.

"Huh? They're released already?"

Lopez glanced at it and recognized Frank. After all, it was a case handled by a rookie she had mentored, so she paid close attention to it.

"Yep, the district attorney's office has completed the procedures, so they can't prosecute him. They can only release him."

Lopez was also quite helpless. Could Frank be considered disabled?

"Damn right! No department in the entire country can deal with a parasite like me, a vulnerability in the system! Isn't that what makes America great?"

Frank spoke as if he were giving a victory speech.

You can tell he's in a good mood.

[It has been detected that Frank Gallagher, the perpetrator, exploited a system vulnerability to escape his due punishment.]

[Disciplinary Task: To punish criminals on behalf of the system.]

[Note: Frank Gallagher's crimes do not warrant death. Please punish him within appropriate limits. Excessive punishment will lead to mission failure.]

[Punishment Reward: Skill Reconnaissance]

[Reconnaissance: Information about the target being investigated in reality; the level of detail increases with skill level.]

[Note: This skill can only be used during crime investigation and consumes mental energy.]

Upon seeing the system notification, Li Wei's eyes lit up, and he looked at Frank as if he were looking at a hot commodity.

Isn't this a god-tier crime-solving skill?

Once I acquire this skill, I'm afraid I'll be able to advance my career like a rocket.

Thinking about this, Li Wei began to ponder what constituted a punishment within a reasonable range.

"Alright, rookie, take your prisoner in and then go do roll call."

After saying that, Lopez took a sip of coffee.

Seeing that Levi's eyes were fixed on Frank, he assumed that Frank was still troubled by the matter.

She patted Li Wei on the shoulder: "There are too many scoundrels like him in America. If we were to guard against every single one of them, no amount of police force would be enough. Let him be."

"I'm fine, sir."

Li Wei shook his head. He didn't care about the system at all; all he cared about was how to get the rewards.

"Didn't I tell you to call me Angela?"

Lopez gave Levi a light punch.

Fiona, watching the two interact, felt a little annoyed, but didn't know why.

...

meeting room.

Everyone stood up and applauded, including Li Wei.

Today is Tim Bradford's first day back at work after his injury.

This is standard procedure at the police station.

This welcome party had a playful, teasing tone.

Tim walked to his spot and saw a hemorrhoid pad.

"Really?"

He looked at Lopez and Bishop beside him.

The two shrugged.

Tim pulled out his ballpoint pen and punctured the hemorrhoid pad.

"Alright, alright! Joke time's over, everyone find a seat."

Gray smiled and waved to everyone.

The meeting room quickly fell silent.

"Officer Nolan, are you prepared? This time it's going to start with you again."

Gray stood on the podium, and the first thing he did was look at Nolan.

Yesterday, while chasing a group of robbers, Nolan and Bishop accidentally lost the money they had stolen.

This incident left Gray with a dark expression all day.

Li Wei glanced at Nolan beside him, noticing his expressionless face, and instinctively jokingly asked, "Should I feel honored?"

Upon hearing this, Gray's face darkened. He already disliked this eccentric 45-year-old who had become a policeman.

I thought he would kill the other police officers.

"Don't take it as an honor. Yesterday, a group of four, all dressed as zombies, smashed up a credit card advance ATM located between Pick Street and Robertson Street."

With that, Gray distributed the internal wanted notice.

"Officer Bishop and Nolan successfully subdued two criminals, but two others escaped."

"Furthermore, Officer Nolan had a citizen steal $10,000 that the perpetrator had robbed from the ATM, at a time when the details were unclear."

"Fortunately, the surveillance camera captured the thief's face, and we are currently waiting to investigate his identity."

Nolan raised his hand to interject, "Uh, this guy can play guitar, I wonder if this clue is useful?"

Clearly, Nolan still harbors a desire to make amends.

Gray glanced at him. "Of course it's useful. Your briefing should have included all the skills the suspect might possess!"

The implication is that Nolan did not mention this point in his briefing yesterday.

This made the already dark-skinned face of the Black police superintendent, Gray, even darker.

knock knock knock.

Zoe then stood outside the conference room door and knocked.

"Inspector Anderson, is there something you need?"

Gray paused the roll call.

Zoe stood on the podium, looking at all the officers below: "First and foremost, welcome back Tim Bradford. Let me know if you need anything."

"Yes, sir." Tim nodded, his hands clasped together below.

Zoe continued, "Secondly, we received new information about the perpetrator of the 'Zombie' case."

"It turns out that this gang has committed numerous armed robberies over the past six months, with a long list of crimes. They also wore different outfits for each crime."

"Detectives are interrogating the two detained criminals, hoping they will change their minds and confess to the fugitive."

"But it may not be effective; we will continue to pursue the fugitives."

Finally, we received a civil agency dispute application.

"A company wanted to fire a technical employee, but his supervisor was worried about things going wrong."

At this point, Superintendent Gray chimed in, "Are there any volunteers to oversee the entire dismissal process, the kind of thing patrol officers love?"

He glanced at all the officers present.

Rub your hands together.

Below the stage, Nolan slowly raised his hand.

"Officer Nolan, are you going to volunteer yourself?"

"Sir, I have no choice but to obey," Nolan replied listlessly.

"Smart! Go get the address from the dispatch center."

Gray smiled slightly.

"Alright, that's all. Go out on patrol."

...

In the police car, Li Wei was a little absent-minded. He was thinking about whether breaking Frank's leg was an appropriate form of punishment.

"Hey, newbie. What are you thinking about?"

Lopez, a police officer, could tell at a glance that Levi was distracted.
