The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 1915 Detective Jessica (Please give me a monthly ticket!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!!)

When Tony encountered such a situation, his first reaction was to ask Mike to come forward to solve the problem, after all, he was also a policeman. Unfortunately, Mike was not available, and Mike hung up the phone before he could say a few words, leaving him to figure it out on his own.

Tony didn't know what Kai wanted to say, but he knew Kai's personality. If it wasn't something really important, Kai wouldn't hang up the phone so quickly. So Tony also got a little upset. Damn it, I lost face! I'll get it back myself!!!
So Tony took Pepper and Happy to investigate the case.

But after all, he was not a professional player. Even if he had many advantages, he didn't know where to start. At this time, Pepper remembered that she had a friend who was a special police detective and a private investigator.

Yes, that's Jessica.

Jessica wasn't actually Pepper's friend, but Raven and Jessica were very familiar with each other, so Pepper got to know Jessica after a few interactions. However, Jessica always felt that she had nothing in common with people like Pepper... and that was actually the case.

Jessica has a miserable life and has always been at the bottom of society.

And what about Pepper? She was born in a wealthy family, was a top student since childhood, and after graduating from a prestigious university, she has been working for a large company like Stark Group. It is impossible for her to have any intersection with Jessica, a private detective who used to be drunk all day long.

So the two of them really can't get along.

But we know each other.

Faced with Pepper's invitation, Jessica agreed without much thought. Just treat it as a return to her old job.

Unlike the countries across the sea, the police in the United States are not public servants and can do private work. As long as it does not affect their normal work, police officers can go out to do private work, and police officers can carry guns when they are off duty. Many police officers have two jobs, and many of them work as temporary security guards in banks, bars, and supermarkets, with an hourly wage of $25. If it is a more dangerous place, the hourly wage can reach $40.

Even many police officers will try to find private jobs for themselves because their salaries are not enough. Many senior police officers will even serve as security consultants for certain companies, with consulting fees alone reaching seven figures a year. There are even cases where a senior police officer holds several security consultant positions.

This is all reasonable and legal. As long as you are not absent from work intentionally, the police will not have any special restrictions in this regard.

Jessica's trip was also a private job.

Soon Jessica reunited with Tony and the other two. After learning about the case, they immediately headed for the purified water company.

Just at this time, the water delivery workers were also found.

They didn't go anywhere and were locked up in the house.

During these days, they were all kidnapped and held at home. Although they were not abused, their mental condition was not much better and their families were also frightened.

Fortunately, although those people kidnapped them, they did not do anything to them, but just restricted their movements.

Hearing this, Happy was relieved. He was really afraid that those thieves had planned it. Just think about it, a group of people disguised as a group of water delivery workers, and the background was flawless, and there was no problem at all. They played their roles day after day for several years, and only exposed themselves after the attack... What a terrible group of people. This means that the Stark Group has been targeted by a terrible enemy.

The key point is that Happy can also be sure that these water delivery workers will not be the beginning. Since they can play the role of water delivery workers, they can naturally play more people. Who knows if there are still such spies in the company?
But now I realize that I was overthinking. These water delivery workers were innocent. Someone just kidnapped them and then disguised themselves as them to steal.

But this relaxation did not last long, and was replaced by worry. Although the problem was not as serious as previously thought, the situation still did not improve. A group of people could pretend to be a group of water delivery workers so perfectly without anyone noticing... Isn't this another kind of horror?

Wait until Jessica asks him for information about the kidnapper.

The group of people hesitated for a long time and could not explain anything. The kidnappers were both men and women, all wearing hoods and all black. Apart from their gender, there were no other features. They also did not speak, and communicated with each other using sign language.

We talked to them at the same time, and also used translators and the like, but the water delivery workers couldn't even distinguish their voices.

"A professional, and not just any professional. I suspect he has a government background." Jessica gave her conclusion readily.

"Why? Can't it be a folk master? Like Ocean's Eleven?" Tony didn't actually mean to question it, he was simply arguing.

Jessica rolled her eyes at the world's richest man and said, "Please, don't take movies seriously, okay? Do you really think that those robbers in the movies who can do so many fancy things would become robbers in real life?!"

Indeed, the robbers and thieves in the movies are more awesome than each other, and the strategies they design are also very awesome. But if there are such smart people in real life, wouldn’t it be better for them to go to Wall Street?
"If there really is such a powerful person, why not go to Wall Street? It's the same thing as robbing money, and it's legal to rob money on Wall Street."

This sentence left Tony, the capitalist, speechless.

After all, according to Jessica's classification, he is also a money-grabbing person... Don't say that Tony is kind. His kindness cannot cover up his capitalist nature. It is the instinct of every capitalist to plunder other people's wealth to enrich his own pockets!
"Only those who rushed into the bank wearing masks and shouting with guns were the real robbers. As for those in the movies... God knows what those Hollywood screenwriters were thinking. They wrote the robbers so smart and the police so stupid. I even suspect that they took money from the robbers."

Indeed, 90 percent of robberies in reality are actually very simple.

When you think of bank robbers, what do you think of first? Do they put black silk on their heads, rush into the bank with guns in hand and shout "robbery"? Or do they just walk into the door and shoot the boss like Zhou Kehua? If you ask me, what strategies do robbers have? I guess you will wave your hands and say, it's just robbery! There is no strategy, they just rely on courage and toughness, and they just rob as soon as they enter.

Of course, there are also some technical experts.

The appearance of this person changed the development history of bank robbers, and later he developed a set of "advanced" strategies. This person is the notorious bank robber "Baron Ram" in history, known as the "father of modern bank robbers." Ram was a German who served in the army for many years. Later he immigrated to the United States. In 1917, he was caught by the police for robbery on the road and was imprisoned for two years. In prison, he "understood" a point that 99% of robbers had not imagined. After being released from prison, Ram robbed 1922 US dollars in just 90 seconds in 20, becoming famous overnight. What is the key point that Ram "understood"? How to rob more money? Or how to escape? None of them, the most important thing is time. How to rob as much as possible while leaving enough time to escape. After figuring this out, the next step is how to intimidate bank employees in the shortest time and how to escape quickly. Before this person appeared, robbery was mostly a crime of passion, and people rushed in when their minds were hot. But Ram changed the robbers' thinking, and he spent most of his time on preparation. In order to get a more detailed understanding of the bank, he even pretended to be a reporter and entered the bank to understand the situation. Since this precedent was set, the subsequent robbers have used all kinds of messy methods to scout the location. The robbers disguised themselves as business representatives and entered the bank to understand the security system. They also conducted actual combat simulations in the warehouse to direct possible accidents. Most bank robbers want to get the most money, and they don’t think of running until the police car arrives. If they don’t get the money, they won’t leave, even if they end up fighting with the police. This plot is very common in movies. But Ram is different. His principle is: there is only 3 minutes. When the time is up, he will run away if he doesn’t get the money. This also shows that Ram regards this as a lifelong career, rather than stopping after doing a single job. Timely "stop loss" is always the first priority.

After saying so much, everyone must be curious about the final outcome of this "Father of Robbers". In the end, Ram was shot to death.

After committing a crime at a bank in Indiana, Ram saw someone rushing towards him with a gun while escaping. It was obvious that the person was up to no good, so Ram decided to use an alternative escape route. But the tire of the car burst on the way, which didn't matter, because Ram had already made an emergency plan for vehicle damage, which was to rob another car. Unexpectedly, the robbed car could only drive 60 miles per hour. So he robbed another car, but it broke down halfway, so he robbed again! The third robbed car had only a little gas left. As expected, Ram didn't run far before the police surrounded him, and he was shot to death. It was a dramatic scene.

This is what the most powerful robber is like.

The same is true for other crimes. No matter if you are a thief or any other criminal profession, it is not that mysterious.

In many movies, the thief will bring a top hacker with him, and then the top hacker will be stupid enough to be someone's younger brother... No, how much do you look down on top hackers? If others really want to make money, they can make money anywhere. Even if it is a crime, others will not be so low as to be a thief. Just do some small things on the Internet and you can make money!

Why be a thief?
The risk is huge and the return is small, who would be willing to do this?
Don't be blinded by the scenes in the movies. In reality, criminals are actually unsuccessful people. Truly successful people are unwilling to commit crimes because the benefits of crime are very small.

For example, if you are a thief and you get the stolen goods, when you want to sell them, you just have to wait for the dealer to bargain hard for you!
Even robbers are like this. The stolen money cannot flow into the market immediately. You need to launder the money. Do you know how high the cost of money laundering is?

The scariest thing is that you might become a robber or a thief and end up helping others make money!

For example, if you are a robber, you may encounter a situation where the amount of money you robbed does not match the amount announced by the police. You may find that I robbed 100 million, but why did I only get tens of millions? Where is the rest of the money?
Congratulations, you are being used as a tool to settle accounts.

So every time after a robbery, the bank is never anxious, just rob it, they have insurance! So every time after such a case happens, the insurance company is the most anxious!

Really good people will not join such an industry, after all, the risk is high and the return is not that high. Why do you want to do this? If you really have the ability, why not do something else?
That's why Jessica said that only people with a government background could do such a thing.

"Do you know how many resources are needed to plan an operation like this?" Jessica looked at Tony with disdain. She didn't have any special feelings towards Tony. On the contrary, she couldn't stand his behavior, a bit like the feeling of a grassroots towards the rich second generation.

"I don't know what you lost, but I can be sure that the resources and energy required for this operation are definitely worth more than what you lost!"

Are you kidding? Kidnapping a group of people, disguising yourself as them without being discovered, and then casually entering Stark Tower to scout the area, planning and then implementing the plan, this is not something that ordinary people can do.

Efficiency, tacit understanding, careful planning, and flawless actions, is this something a group of grassroots heroes can accomplish?

Again, the saying that experts are among the common people is a false proposition. Why should experts be among the common people when there are so many things they can do? Since they are among the common people, it means that they are not experts yet!
Tony was a little speechless.

But I have to admit that Jessica is right.

"Could it really be someone from the government? No, that's not right. The government and I jointly manage that thing. They don't have the guts to steal it. In fact, the government has the upper hand in distribution. I don't have any special requirements in this regard. What's their reason for doing this?"

Tony couldn't figure it out.

"Haha, you really trust our government..." Although Jessica is a police officer, this guy is a senior conspiracy theorist and has extreme distrust of the government... In fact, this situation is very common in the United States.

The lower the level of people, the less they trust the government... After all, under the leadership of the US government, their lives are getting worse and worse, so it's a miracle to trust them! They talk about globalization and US hegemony... But why are there fewer and fewer middle-class Americans, more and more poor people, fewer and fewer job opportunities, and no increase in income, but prices are rising?
So what does globalization and American hegemony have to do with us?
All I know is that my life is getting worse and worse!

This is the reality I see.

"How do you know that it wasn't done by the government? After all, I still don't know what this thing is, so it can only be said to be top secret. So, how did that group of people know about it? It can't be that they saw it on TV, right?"

Jessica analyzed it this way.

Tony was also a little uncertain.

After all, the U.S. government has done a lot of anthropomorphic things...
