Hank lowered his head and did not answer, looking even more frustrated, but his performance already showed that Jimmy's guess was correct.
Jimmy had only learned about kleptomania when he was at Quantico Academy, but the instructor at the time only briefly mentioned that such theft cases had nothing to do with the FBI and were within the scope of police management.
Kleptomania is a psychological problem. Jimmy is definitely unprofessional in this area, but he has friends who can ask him about it later. The key now is to solve the current problem first.
Jimmy: "Hank, what's going on now? Where's Mary?"
Hank: "I was temporarily detained in the interrogation room. The store manager also came over. I just offered compensation, but he didn't accept it."
Jimmy frowned: "What's going on? That necklace is expensive?"
Hank: "No, it's just over a hundred dollars, but the manager didn't know why he didn't agree to the settlement."
Jimmy thought for a moment and said, "I'm not very familiar with the NYPD. I'll find someone to come over and help. Just wait for me."
Jimmy walked aside, took out his mobile phone and called Nia, "Nia, do you know anyone here in the Seventh Precinct?"
Nia: "What's wrong?"
Jimmy: "My friend's wife stole a necklace worth more than 100 yuan because of kleptomania, and now the store manager doesn't seem to want to reconcile at all."
Nia: "I'll come over, Seventh Precinct, right? Wait for me."
Jimmy: "Okay."
Jimmy turned his head and glanced at Hank's position. He was still sitting there with his head down in frustration. It was obvious that he had left Albuquerque and he probably had no one else to turn to in New York.
It's just a theft case. In theory, there shouldn't be any trouble. Nia will come over to understand the situation later. If it's not troublesome, just help him deal with it. With Kevin's support behind her, Nia should have no problem handling such a small matter.
Jimmy called Steven's number again, "Steven, I found Hank."
Steven: "Great, how is he? What happened?"
Jimmy: "We won't know the details until later. I just wanted to let you know that he is safe. Nothing happened to him."
Steven: "Okay, thank you. If you can help, please try to help him deal with it."
Jimmy: "Well, don't worry, that's it for now."
After waiting for a while, Nia and Chuck came over together. Jimmy was surprised. Didn't Chuck let Nia form a team alone? Why are we together again?
Jimmy took two steps, hugged Nia first, and then shook hands with Chuck, "Chuck, why are you here?"
Chuck smiled and said, "If I don't come, you will be in trouble today."
Jimmy frowned and looked at him: "Is there something inside?"
Chuck nodded: "Don't worry, I know the situation, let me handle it. Let's go and meet your friend."
Jimmy walked towards Hank with Nia and Chuck, "Hank, this is Detective Chuck, and this is my fiancée Nia, tell Chuck about you, he is familiar with the people here in the NYPD. "
Hank stood up, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chuck and Nia, "DEA Senior Agent Hank Schrader, from New Mexico."
Hank looked around, and several people came to the corner, "My wife and I came to New York for vacation. My wife took a necklace from a store this morning and didn't pay. When she was leaving the store, she was stopped by the security guard and called the police. . I was waiting for her outside, so I went in when I saw something happened, and then followed the police to the police station."
Chuck: "Have you talked to the people at the store?"
Hank frowned and nodded, "They don't agree to reconciliation."
Chuck: "Well, I understand, you wait here. Nia, come with me."
Nia patted Jimmy and followed Chuck to the other side of the police station.
Hank's eyes were fixed on Chuck and Nia. Jimmy came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Chuck is an old police detective. He is very familiar with the NYPD side and will definitely be able to handle it."
I thought it would be quick, but it took more than half an hour before Chuck and Nia came over with a brown-haired woman. Hank kept looking over there, and when he saw the woman following him, he immediately walked over quickly, "Mary, how are you?"
Mary hugged Hank and sobbed softly. The two of them were whispering something, but Jimmy was too far away to hear.
Chuck and Nia did not stay with them, but came directly to Jimmy, "The matter is settled, but there are still some formalities that need to be completed. Let's talk about it together after they calm down."
After Hank and Mary said a few words, they came over. Hank hugged Jimmy and said, "Thank you, Jimmy, thank you."
Jimmy patted Hank, "Don't be so polite, okay, it's not over yet. Chuck."
Chuck nodded: "You need to prepare a psychological evaluation report for today. It would be best if there are previous treatment records."
Hank: "Do I have to provide it? I need to contact the people in Albuquerque."
Chuck: "Yes, settlement records are required."
Hank: "Okay, I'm going to contact you and see if I can find a psychologist."
Jimmy: "I'll find it. But let's get out of here first."
Jimmy and his group left the police station, and Nia and Chuck returned to the detective station. Jimmy did not ask Nia how they handled it. It was not appropriate to ask now. There would be plenty of time to find out when they went back in the evening.
Jimmy contacted Dr. Mary. When he was on the phone, he noticed that he knew a lot of people named Mary.
Dr. Mary answered the phone and after listening to Jimmy's words, asked them to go there after 2 pm, just in time to have a meal and rest at noon.
Jimmy took Hank and Mary to the downstairs of Dr. Mary's studio. As he walked up, he said, "Dr. Mary is the cooperating psychologist of the FBI's Manhattan office, a real senior expert. I will listen to her arrangements later."
Hank: "Don't worry, I understand."
Hank's wife Mary Schrader was particularly quiet today, and she didn't know if she was scared.
Dr. Mary Walter received Jimmy and the others. Jimmy just introduced Mary and then left the office with Hank and went to the fire escape to smoke, leaving Mary Schrader behind.
After waiting for a long time, the two Marys finally ended their conversation, and Hank was called over to contact the psychiatrist in Albuquerque and fax a copy of Mary Schrader's medical records.
While waiting, Jimmy also pulled Dr. Mary Walter aside to get a rough idea of what kleptomania was all about.
From an academic perspective, kleptomania is a mental health disorder, an impulse control disorder, and a disease involving emotional or behavioral self-control problems.
This results in the patient's irresistible urge to steal, which manifests itself as a repeated, irresistible urge to steal items that are often not really needed. Usually stolen items are of little value and well within the purchasing power.
Kleptomania is uncommon, but it is a serious condition that can cause significant emotional distress and even legal problems if left untreated.
People suffering from this disease usually cannot resist this very strong desire and impulse. They are completely unable to control themselves to steal items, even if they understand that it is wrong and illegal, they will still reach out.
There is no simple and clear-cut diagnosis of the cause of kleptomania. The most common speculations are the following: a family history of kleptomania may increase the risk of kleptomania, as may other impulse control disorders such as anxiety, depression, or substance abuse. probability of illness.
The current data is not perfect, and since the cause of this mental illness is still uncertain, there is no way to prevent or 100% treat it.
Medication treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and antidepressants may help end the cycle of compulsive stealing.
Dr. Mary was a professional and knew that Jimmy just wanted to understand, so she didn't say anything too profound. She just gave a general explanation, and then turned to look at Hank and his wife who were guarding the fax machine.
Dr. Mary: "There is something wrong with her. When we chatted just now, we could see that she is actually quite normal, which means that the previous treatment was effective. This time, she must have been stimulated by something, and the kleptomania will relapse."
Jimmy: "What are the possibilities?"
Dr. Mary: "She should not be taking antidepressant drugs. In addition, something should have happened before the theft, which caused her to have an impulsive desire. It may have happened before entering the store, or it may have happened while shopping in the store. It happened when the product was sold.”
Jimmy: "That is to say, as long as she is not stimulated, she is actually quite normal, right?"
Dr. Mary: "Yes, her mental state is okay, but she is a little frightened. It seems that the experience of going to the police station in the morning was not good."
Jimmy: "Okay, just give me a report. This is a friend of my friend, and it's just a favor. It's not necessary."
Mary nodded, she knew what Jimmy meant when he said it wasn't necessary, just deal with it normally.
After getting the faxed diagnosis records, Mary was busy working on the report, while Jimmy and Hank were sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Jimmy comes here to drink tea, so even though Mary didn't make the tea, he can make the tea himself, and Dr. Mary won't have any objections.
After getting the printed report, Mary signed it and handed it to Hank. Hank thanked him, swiped his card to pay, and left the studio with Mary taking the report. Jimmy did not leave, but stayed to chat with Dr. Mary for a while before leaving and returning to the FBI office.
Hank and the others had already told Jimmy at noon that they would pack up and return to Albuquerque after sending the report to the police station. Jimmy originally wanted to send it, but they declined.
After something like this happened, Jimmy could understand their mood. No one expected that their vacation would turn into a police station tour. They were definitely not in the mood to continue traveling now, and it would be better to go home and have a good rest.
Hank invited Jimmy to go to Albuquerque when he has time, and Jimmy nodded in agreement. Steven also needs to contact him, and he can go there as long as he has time.
Speaking of which, the gap between the DEA and the FBI is really big. When we were chatting at noon, we found out that Hank didn’t know anyone from the DEA New York branch. There was basically not much communication between their various branches, especially the following detectives. member.
This sudden incident caused Jimmy to spend most of the day wandering outside, but he had nothing to do and it didn't count as a waste of time.
After returning to the office and saying hello to Isabel to cancel his leave, Jimmy continued to return to his place to start designing activities. At least one of the two difficult tasks given by Kevin had to be completed by himself. As for the policy support of the bureau, there was really nothing he could do about it. .
——
Jimmy has been thinking about his own affairs for several days, and Hughes and Peter have never stopped investigating.
Peter and Neil analyzed a key evidence and found out that the key was not a lock, but a building miniature. Based on the shape of the key, they discovered the location of the box hiding the evidence. It was in the Empire State Building, but the specific location of the hiding was It has not been determined yet, and we need to continue to search and verify.
Hughes still couldn't swallow this breath. After he was kicked out of the FBI headquarters, he contacted an acquaintance at the NSA to help monitor his office phone number in the bureau. At first, he just wanted to know what the arrangements were for the supervisor who came later, and unexpectedly discovered that the new The incoming supervisor, Amanda Callaway, got information about evidence hiding from the conversation between Peter and the others, and called Senator Platt.
This was really an unexpected surprise. After getting the phone recording on the USB flash drive from his friend, Hughes thought about it and decided to give it to Peter so that he could be mentally prepared.
When Hughes and Peter heard the content of the phone call in the restaurant, Peter felt bad. The new director Callaway not only stopped all the bureau's investigations against Senator Platt, but also the results of their private investigation The senators have been notified, and now there is trouble. Everyone knows that the black evidence is in the Empire State Building. It depends on who can get the evidence first.
Moreover, this phone record also shows the position of Director Callaway. She is the thorn that Senator Platt planted in the FBI's Manhattan office. She is here to mess up the deployment here and get Senator Platt out of danger.
Now that Callaway has just arrived, it is the time for her to establish her power. Peter and the others have to temporarily avoid the spotlight and be honest for a few days. However, Neil and the others still gained something. Through analysis, they finally determined that the evidence was on the 50th floor. All that was left was to find a way to get a scanner to scan the ceiling and floor to determine the specific location, and then dig it out.
One thing to say is that for this kind of sneaky thing, Neil and his group of criminals are all geniuses. They actually successfully used the cleaner's floor scrubber to put the scanner in, and then put it on the 50th floor. Found the box.
However, because the scanner was lent by the FBI, the FBI's technicians successfully obtained the location by recovering the data in the scanner, allowing Callaway to notify Senator Platt, and all the relevant figures were found at the same time. Arrive at the corresponding floor of the Empire State Building. (End of chapter)
