Chapter 794 The Innocent Person Whose Blind Box Was Opened
Jack and Jubal looked at each other and understood. They finally found the key point.
"What was the content of their dispute at that time?" Jubal asked.
"He said, 'They did something wrong. They didn't report their identities.'"
While Jack was recording, his eyes were still secretly observing Mr. Kubiak's expression, "Did Gabriel blame the other police officers at the scene?"
The latter nodded, "I think so. It seemed that other police officers were very dissatisfied with him at the time. Two weeks later, my boss told me that the Newark Police Department was investigating the drug raid and I would be questioned.
He told me, 'That's the police department's business. The less you remember, the better.'"
"So, what did he want you to forget? About the dispute between Gabriel and other police officers at the scene at that time?" Jack had roughly guessed what the situation was.
"Yes, so I lied. I told the investigator that I didn't remember anything." Mr. Kubiak closed his eyes in pain.
Jubal took the bottle from him, "So you realized it before, maybe it was because of your false testimony that Gabriel was fired after the investigation."
"Yes, but I don't understand, if it was because of this, why didn't he come to me directly? Taylor has nothing to do with all this. God."
Mr. Kubiak covered his face in pain and collapsed on the sofa.

"No punishment is more painful than losing your own child." Jubal said with deep emotion after leaving.
Jack didn't have much sympathy for the paramedic. At present, everything happened for a reason. There were indeed innocent people among Gabriel's targets, but from his own perspective, it was not simply killing innocent people, but the approach was too extreme.
It is very common for a newcomer to be targeted in the workplace. Almost everyone will go through a period of polishing after entering society.
In school or childhood, most people are taught not to lie, to be honest, and to be upright, but after entering society, the environment they face is completely opposite.
Jack also went through this stage in his previous life. Many people set a psychological bottom line for themselves. Under the premise of not touching the bottom line (law or morality), most of the time they will choose to be in harmony with the world.
As they grow older and encounter different situations, some people's bottom line will continue to lower, that is, they bend down for a living, while others have no bottom line at all, or they give up their bottom line voluntarily. In order to pursue interests at all costs, it becomes a matter of course to step on other people's heads to climb up.
The profession of police is also a workplace, but it is somewhat special. After all, if you cheat your colleagues in an ordinary company, you will be beaten at most, and in most cases, it may be just a little bit of spit.
But as a staff member of a violent organization, you must be prepared to be shot, especially in a place like the United States. If you lose your job, you may become a homeless person. When a person is about to lose everything, it means that he has lost all his constraints.
Although Mr. Kubiak was vague, after all, he didn't know what happened, but both Jack and Jubal could roughly guess what happened through previous investigations.
Gabriel was expelled from the Newark Police Department during his internship because he did or tried to do something that violated the "silent blue wall" rule.
Perhaps Inspector Peroni thought that sending him to a small town police station without recording it in his internship file was a way to leave him a way out so that they could meet again in the future. In his decades of career, this practice may have been commonplace.
However, he did not expect that this time he would encounter a tough guy who planned to "rectify" the workplace by himself.
"We don't have much time." Jack got in the car and started the Hellcat. Since Gabriel could take action against the family of the person involved, it means that he has completely abandoned his bottom line and naturally does not care about the lives of innocent people.
His ultimate goal is obviously Inspector Peroni and revealing the truth of the matter. He does not consider how many innocent lives will be harmed in the process, including his own life.
"Shall we visit Inspector Peroni again tomorrow morning?" Jubal looked at the time. It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening.
Jack turned the car around and drove back to the parking lot where the command vehicle was. "I don't think he will confess everything to us. I bet he should have realized something and made some arrangements that he thought were reasonable after we left."
"For example, arrange for someone to protect the police officers involved and their families?" Jubal glanced at his phone and pointed forward, "Drop me off at the next intersection. My friend has already got the relevant case information."
"Are you coming back tonight?" Jack showed a mischievous smile on his face.
"Get lost, we are just friends now." Jubal looked a little embarrassed.
——
Jubal still returned to the command vehicle before 12 o'clock and brought back a thick stack of police reports.
Hannah yawned and put a testimony in her hand on the table. "The widow of the deceased said the same thing as Gabriel, insisting that the police did not report their identities at the time, causing her husband to think that someone broke into the house and robbed it, so he resisted with a gun."
Jiejie is probably the one with the most experience in reading police reports among the team members. After all, her previous job at BAU was to select the most valuable parts from hundreds of reports sent by police stations from all over the country every day.
"This is one of the most perfunctory police investigation reports I have ever seen. It claims that they received reliable information at the time that there was a drug factory in that house, and launched a raid after obtaining a search warrant.
No so-called drug factory was found at the scene, and the only thing the police got was half a bottle of illegal painkillers hidden away."
Jubal sighed, "Because of Gabriel's report, the Newark Police Department did launch an investigation into the branch where Inspector Perroni worked, but it seemed to be just a formality, with several interrogation records that contradicted Gabriel's confession and a simple on-site investigation report.
They were indeed eager to cover up some mistakes, and the stubborn Gabriel became a victim."
Jack turned his laptop in a different direction, and on it was the content he had just Googled, "I may have found the trigger for Gabriel's behavior. About a week ago, the court dismissed the lawsuit filed by the family of the owner of the house who was shot dead against the Newark Police Department."
"Also, this is the police dispatch report at the time." Aubrey showed the document in his hand.
"I found something strange. The ambulance that Kubiak was assigned to was indeed required to be sent to the scene, but before them, another ambulance was sent to the same location, but it was later cancelled."
"What do you mean?" Clay couldn't wait to snatch the information in his hand, and his eyes lit up, "Hannah, can you call up the electronic map of Newark on the screen? The Dermond Street."
"Of course." Hannah, who was sitting in front of the computer, simply operated it, and a block map appeared on the screen.
"The location of the police raid was 484 South Dermond Street, right?" Clay excitedly clicked on the map, "There is also 484 North Dermond Street here.
A simple comparison of the operation time will show that before the operation was launched, an ambulance was arranged in advance to 484 North Street, and after the operation was launched, the ambulance that Kubiak was assigned to was required to go to the location of the raid on South Street."
Jubal seemed to understand, "In other words, the first ambulance went to the correct location, and the police officers who participated in the raid actually went to the wrong place?"
