Especially when he saw that he was now strong and accomplished, he was sincerely happy for his old benefactor
At a certain moment, he also moved the idea of serving for Charlie to repay Changying’s kindness.
However, on second thought, he felt that he was just an illegal immigrant,
Who had been selling roast goose in Chinatown for more than ten years,
While Charlie had long been a top tycoon worth hundreds of billions of dollars,
And the difference between himself and him was really a difference between clouds and mud in a deep well.
After all, the difference in strength is too great, even if he has a passion for repaying kindness,
But in the eyes of outsiders, he may be, under the guise of repaying kindness, trying to climb up the ladder.
What’s more, Charlie may not really need his help, maybe he opened his mouth, but just give him trouble.
Therefore, Hogan thought about it but gave up the idea of offering himself.
And what he didn’t know was that although Charlie was eager for virtuous people,
He didn’t want him to serve him with a heavy past.
Therefore, his intention was to first help Hogan achieve nirvana and rebirth.
Moreover, with Charlie’s character, he did not like to hang on to his mouth before things were done,
So he did not reveal half a word to this old man.
As he parted, Hogan’s eyes were red and he said to Charlie,
“Young Master Wade, please take care of yourself!”
Charlie also said respectfully, “Don’t worry, Uncle Chen, I will.”
Saying that Charlie took out a blood dispersing heart-saving pill from his pocket and put it in Hogan’s hand,
Saying seriously, “Uncle Chen, this pill can cure a hundred diseases and help heal a thousand wounds,”
“You just keep it by your side, just in case.”
Hogan hurriedly wanted to stuff the pill back into Charlie’s hand and said with trepidation,
“Young Master Wade, how can I …… accept this great gift …… please take it back!”
Charlie shook his head, pushed him away slightly, and said seriously:
“Uncle Chen, if my father were alive, he would consider you as his brother,”
“And I believe you would also consider me as your own son,”
“So it is only natural for me, as a junior, to pay respect to you.”
After saying that, he took two steps back, slightly arched his hand, and said,
“See you later,” before turning around to leave.
By the time Hogan chased him out, Charlie had already gone far away.
At this time, Charlie was walking like a fly, not even looking back,
Hogan looked at the medicine box in his hand, only felt like a lump in his throat,
Unconsciously, his eyes are already full of tears.
After saying goodbye to Hogan, Charlie took a car and went to Long Beach.
Ruoli had already evacuated in time, but Joseph,
And the other members of the Cataclysmic Front were still here.
Therefore, Charlie went directly to the villa that the Cataclysmic Front had rented.
After Joseph was ordered to solve all the sgum in New York who were involved,
With Randal in the early morning, he was here waiting for Charlie’s next instruction.
After Charlie arrived, he personally ran out of the villa to greet him and said respectfully,
“Mr. Wade, the tasks you gave me have all been successfully completed.”
Charlie nodded and spoke, “Joseph, you have done a good job this time,”
“Not only did you kill all the sgum that should be killed, but the matter was also done very beautifully,”
“It is almost time for you and the other brothers to withdraw,”
“The ten billion dollars that the Fei family gave to the Cataclysmic Front arrive,”
“After you go back, you should build up the base of the Cataclysmic Front.”
Hearing that Charlie was leaving, Hogan had an extraordinarily complicated expression.
To Charlie, although he had only just met him, but because Charlie’s father had a kindness to him,
Plus Charlie himself also made him very appreciated, so he also developed a very kind feeling towards him.
Joseph said gratefully, “Mr. Wade don’t worry, I will do my best to not let you down!”
Charlie nodded slightly and instructed, “Have the brothers evacuate in an orderly manner,”
“Don’t leave any clues for the New York police.”
Joseph said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade, I have already arranged for my men,”
“To handle the place comprehensively, so no clues will be left behind.”
Charlie looked at the villa and said, “This villa you rented,”
“Why don’t you just spend the money to buy it and keep it as the stronghold of Joseph in New York.”
“Okay!” Joseph immediately agreed and said,
“Then I will have my men go to the broker today to talk about it and buy it as soon as possible.”
After saying that, Joseph added: “Mr. Wade, I see that New York is not peaceful recently,”
“Do you need me to leave some men here to help Miss Fei?”
“No need.” Charlie waved his hand and said, “Stella has just sat as the head of the Fei family,”
“If I keep people by her side at this time, it will make others look at it,”
“And have a big implication of developing her into a puppet,”
“It is better not to trigger such a misunderstanding.”
Saying that, Charlie added: “By the way, after this villa is bought,”
“You can pick a few of the core members of the Cataclysmic Front with the cleanest identities,”
“And let them stay here temporarily, just in case.”
“No problem!” Joseph said, “Then your subordinate will make the arrangements later.”
“Good.” Charlie nodded and added: “There is one more thing that you need to do.”
Joseph said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, if there is anything you want, just give me an order.”
Charlie sighed and sighed: “The videos I exposed, in order to respect those innocent girls who died tragically,”
“Their facial features were blurred, which will definitely affect the subsequent confirmation of the true identity of the victims,”
“So you go back and send the original files of these videos to the New York police in an anonymous way,”
“So that they can work with the Fei family to determine the identity of all the victims.”
“So that the Fei family can also complete the compensation as soon as possible.”
“Okay.” Joseph spoke up, “I will arrange for the technical staff to send an email,”
“To the New York police directly from the overseas server later, and send all the video files to them.”
At this moment, Fei’s group headquarters.
A large number of police officers and SWAT officers had already surrounded Fei’s headquarters building.
The police blocked every entrance and exit of the whole building,
Only one exit was reserved for inspection. All the people in the building,
Whether they were employees or journalists, or members of the Fei family,
They all had to pass through the exits one by one in an orderly manner,
And undergo a full inspection according to the police’s requirements.
The police have to check the identity of each person in detail through the face and fingerprint verification.
Ruoli’s identity was actually quite obvious, a young, tall Asian woman.
But the police still will not let go of any other skin color, or other age group of women,
Even if they know they are looking for a woman, but still will be a full verification of the identity of each male,
Just in case there is any negligence, Ruoli takes advantage of the opportunity to escape.
The extremely strict screening made everyone grumble,
Especially those media reporters who hadn’t had the chance to leave yet.
So everyone simply did not rush to leave, one by one, carrying the camera,
Picking up the microphone, directly began to report live.
For a while, people all over the United States are concerned about the police action,
They do not understand why the New York police went to the Fei Group,
After all, the Fei Group has just done an impeccable crisis public relations,
The public concern about the Fei Group and Stella is unprecedentedly high.
Duncan is staying at this time inside the temporary command center set up at the scene,
He firmly believes that he came today suddenly, Ruoli certainly can not have a chance to escape.
Now, what he is waiting for is to purge everyone from Fei’s group,
And then bring people in to catch a turtle in a jar!
At this time, his most trusted men called him.
Seeing the other party’s incoming point, Duncan instantly got excited,
After picking up the phone, he asked off the cuff:
“How about it, found the surveillance video of that roast goose store?
At this moment, Duncan’s heart is filled with two things.
One is to hurry up to catch the murderer in New York in the past two days.
The other is to help good brother Marshal to find out the secrets held by Sara.
At the moment, the Fei Group is under full control, and it is only a matter of time before Ruoli is found.
Therefore, when he received this call, he was expecting his subordinate to give good news.
However, the voice on the other end of the phone said helplessly,
“Chief, we acted out a whole play as you instructed, but to our surprise,”
“There was no hard disk in the surveillance camera of that barbecue restaurant.”
“No hard disk?!” Duncan was poured a pot of cold water on him and he asked offhandedly,
“Why is there no hard disk? Was it taken away in advance?”
The colleague he sent out replied, “The owner said that the hard disk broke down long ago,”
“So it has not been replaced with a new one.”
Duncan asked offhandedly, “What about the broken hard disk? It was not in the machine?”
The subordinate said: “No, I also asked, and the hard disk position of the surveillance recorder was indeed empty.”
Duncan’s expression froze and said with a tight frown,
“This is not right! If the hard disk was dysfunctional, and he is not prepared to repair it,”
“Then he had absolutely no need to take the hard disk out of the hard disk box,”
“It is like your computer CPU is broken, and then you are prepared to put this computer aside to idle,”
“It has been idle, you will still open it up to take its parts out?”
“This ……” the subordinate mused and asked offhandedly,
“Boss, you mean to say that the store owner has a problem?”
“This person definitely has a problem,” Duncan said in a cold voice:
“Check the owner’s information for me, and send some men to quietly monitor him, so that he does not escape.”
Saying that, he instructed again, “You have to remember that you must not alert the snake!”
“Yes!” The handlers immediately agreed and said, “Then I’ll arrange it.”
After hanging up the phone, the person in charge on this side of the scene ran over and said,
“Inspector Li, the people at the headquarters of the Fei Group have almost been evacuated,”
“And no trace of that Ruoli has been found yet, the special team will immediately go in,”
“With life detectors and search and rescue dogs.”
Duncan nodded and said, “Order down a carpet search, combined with,”
“The architectural blueprint of the building, do not let go of any possible escape route!”
The other party immediately said, “Please rest assured, Inspector Li,”
“We have cut off all the pipes connecting the group’s headquarters to the outside world,”
“Unless the other party turns into a fly and flies out, it is definitely impossible to escape otherwise.”
“That’s good.” Duncan ordered, “Let the special team begin its operation!”
“Before it gets dark, make sure to find her for me!”
……
Meanwhile, Charlie had already left Long Beach and headed to the venue where Sara was performing.
Since she had no way to carry her cell phone while rehearsing on stage,
Sara created a WeChat group in advance, adding herself, Charlie, and her manager Tasha in it,”
“Leaving Tasha in charge of receiving Charlie.
All the performers related to the show were fully engaged in the rehearsal,
Except for Sara’s agent Tasha who had nothing to do.
For Tasha, she was most busy before the performance preparation,
Such as negotiating various cooperation, engaging in various publicity, and coordinating various media resources,
And studying how to help Sara to engage in a resource exchange.
However, once the show entered the countdown state,
It also means that her preliminary work has basically been completed, so this time instead of getting free.
Knowing that Charlie was coming, Tasha waited outside the venue early,
And once she saw him arrive, she said with great diligence,
“Mr. Wade, you’re here! Sara is rehearsing and asked me to receive you!”
He looked at Tasha and asked with surprise: “Miss Tasha,”
“We have known each other for a long time, why have you suddenly become so polite today?”
Tasha laughed: “Look at you, Mr. Wade, I am always very polite to you.”
Charlie teased, “Now is not the time for you to point at me and call me a negative-hearted man.”
Tasha said with a serious face, “No, no, no, adults must learn to return one size to another,”
“You really behaved like a negative-hearted man in handling Sara’s problem,”
“But in other aspects, your personality is still very strong.”
After saying that, she ignored Charlie’s depressed expression,
Pointed to the large performance venue behind her and said with a smile,
“Look, Mr. Wade, this is the best performance venue in New York,”
“We were worried that we might not even have the chance to use it,”
“After being set up by the Fei family, but who would have thought that this venue has now become ours directly… …”
Speaking of this, she said to Charlie with a face of admiration: “Mr. Wade, it is all because of you!”
Charlie was a bit teary-eyed at this point.
Tasha is quirky, sometimes speaks with a gun,
But sometimes gives people a rare feeling of frankness.
So when she stepped on it, he really did not know what to answer.
So, he could only change the subject and said,
“By the way, what is the pattern inside this venue? Is there a VIP box?”
“Yes,” Tasha replied smoothly, then asked,
“Mr. Wade, you don’t want to watch the show in a box tomorrow, right?”
Charlie nodded: “That’s right, the VIP box should be low-key.”
Tasha said, “Low profile is low profile, but the distance is also the farthest,”
“In the last row of the head, when Sara is on stage, it is estimated that you will not be seen.”
Charlie seriously said, “The situation is special, this time I will not show my face.”
For Charlie, what he was most worried about was that someone from Grandma’s family,
Would come over tomorrow to support Sara in the show, in that case,
Once they see him, there was a high probability that they would recognize him.
Tasha was also more understanding of Charlie’s request and spoke,
“Then I’ll take you in for a spin, and you can see the venue first.”
“Okay.”
Soon, Charlie was led by Tasha and went inside the venue.
At this time, Sara was busy rehearsing on stage.
So, Tasha became Charlie’s guide and led him, taking him around the entire performance venue.
This is a large performance venue that can accommodate tens of thousands of people,
The audience seats are distributed in a stepped pattern, the closer to the stage the lower, the farther the higher.
And in the arena at the end, the highest row of seats directly above the audience,
There is a row of very good privacy VIP boxes, these VIP boxes,
Are used especially for VIPs during major sports events.
In this way, VIPs can drink and chat with friends while overlooking the entire game from above,
While also ensuring excellent privacy.
In some European soccer stadiums, many celebrities have their own exclusive boxes,
And when there is a game, they meet with their friends to drink and watch the game in the box.
Charlie immediately spotted this position, so he asked Tasha:
“Tasha, for this concert, has the VIP room been sold?”
“No.” Tasha said, “Sara’s concerts are only sold to the audience in the form of different areas,
Not VIP rooms, VIP rooms are generally not activated.”
Charlie nodded, pointed to the middlemost box, and spoke, “Then leave this one for me.”
Originally, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble,
Charlie even intended that he would not come to Sara’s first concert in New York tomorrow.
It was also clear that if he really didn’t come, not only would Sara feel disappointed,
But his wife Claire would definitely be very sad too.
However, after actually seeing the venue, he was relieved in his heart.
When the time comes, he could bring his wife inside the VIP box to watch Sara’s concert,
Which would also greatly avoid the possibility of exposure.
Tasha also knew something about Charlie, so after hearing him say that he wanted a box,
She didn’t say anything more and quickly agreed, saying, “No problem, I’ll take you up to have a look.”
Charlie nodded and followed her to the box, she pushed open the door and introduced to him:
“Mr. Wade, this venue’s VIP box is very large, usually more than 50 square meters,
With a separate bathroom inside, it is possible to arrange a party inside,”
“Once you come in, anything you need will be sent over by the staff,”
“So there is no need to go out, basically will not be seen by others,”
“And the glass is also a one-way privacy glass, the outside audience can not see inside.”
Charlie looked at the environment, this box is very luxuriously decorated,
At first glance, it gives the look of a gathering place for the New York’s top rich people.
So, he said, “Okay, let’s take this one.”
Tasha nodded and said, “If Mr. Wade wants to be as low-key as possible,”
“I will arrange for you to go directly to the VIP channel,”
“There is a physical partition between the VIP box and the other audience seats below,”
“You can come up directly from the VIP channel, no one else will see you.”
“Good!” Charlie said with a satisfied nod: “Then it’s settled, before the concert tomorrow,”
“You help me arrange a docking staff, then I directly find him to come in.”
Tasha said: “Mr. Wade, for such a distinguished guest like you,”
“How can I arrange another staff member to dock? I must be in charge personally!”
Charlie hurriedly waved his hand and said,
“No, no, you must be very busy at that time, so I won’t bother you with this kind of thing,”
“Just find someone who doesn’t know me and tell him that I am your feng shui master.”
Tasha saw that Charlie rejected her in seconds, and immediately realized that he was worried about something so she immediately said,
“Mr. Wade, you don’t have to worry so much, although I’m not a good person,”
“But I’m certainly not the kind of bad people who harm others and benefit themselves,”
“I know that you will come with your wife tomorrow, and I will certainly not say the wrong things in front of your wife.”
Charlie was tempted to say I can’t trust you, but then he thought,
Although Tasha’s temper is a bit hot, but when she does something,
She must still have a number in her heart,
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to work with Sara for so many years.
So, he did not refuse again, nodded, and said, “Then it will be hard for you then.”
With that, he stepped forward to the large floor-to-ceiling glass window,
In front of the box and looked in the direction of the stage.
On the stage, Sara is rehearsing a very fast-paced singing and dancing song with the backing dance team,
Although the distance is a bit far, but the good thing is that the perspective can overlook the entire stage,
Plus there are large LED screens on both sides of the stage,
And the whole process is playing various angles of camera close-up images, so the view is also very good.
In this way, it can also ensure the experience of his wife when watching the show tomorrow night.
While Charlie was watching Sara rehearse at the venue,
The atmosphere at the Fei Group headquarters building was getting more and more awkward.
A large number of special warfare team members entered the building one after another,
And conducted a carpet search of the entire building partition, but,
After searching the entire building, they did not find Ruoli’s shadow.
You should know that the equipment used by the members of the special warfare team is the most advanced,
They use the life detector, even if the person is behind steel and concrete it will not cause any impact,
And almost difficult to be artificially interfered with,
Even if Ruoli’s ability to hide is strong, but she can not hide from the search of this instrument.
Plus there are dozens of well-trained police dogs at the scene,
Even if there are people hiding through several walls, the dogs will be aware of it.
So, this two-pronged approach can ignore almost any interference,
And as long as Ruoli is still at Fei’s group headquarters, she will definitely be found.
But even with such advanced detection capabilities, it may still not be able to discover Ruoli’s trail.
This makes Duncan feel incomparably astonished at the same time,
But also can’t help thinking a question: Has she escaped in advance?
But after thinking about it, he thought it was unlikely.
His action has been very fast, and has not given Stella,
The opportunity to inform anyone, how can Ruoli escape so timely?
The chief of the Police Department has also been on the edge of his seat at this time,
And none of the media reporters outside who have been identified and approved for release have left,
And are on the scene for live coverage.
The public’s discontent with the Police has grown stronger as the reports continue.
Although everyone knew that the Police was making such a big effort to catch the killers of Randal Fei and other sgum.
The vast majority of the public, however, is relying on their own sense,
To distinguish between right and wrong to judge the issue, and not from the perspective of justice.
If you look at this matter from a judicial point of view, then, like Duncan,
No matter how these people are punishing evil and promoting good, they do not have the power to enforce the law,
So, without the power to enforce the law and kill people, it is undoubtedly a crime,
and since it is a crime, they must be arrested and brought to justice.
However, the vast majority of New Yorkers and the American public,
Are looking at this matter from a personal perspective of right and wrong.
In their eyes, Randal and these sgum deserve to die, and whoever killed them is a hero in the eyes of the people.
They have been able to do wrong for so long and harm so many innocent girls,
Which is itself a dereliction of duty on the part of the Police.
Since someone has done for the Police what they could not do, the Police should not come for them,
But should reflect on why they have not been able to find out what Randal and these people have done,
Instead of focusing on catching the unsung heroes who have done good.
The American people’s view of right and wrong, and Hollywood superhero movies are almost the same,
In the eyes of the people, whether it is Spider-Man, or Batman, Iron Man, Flash,
As long as they have the ability to stand up for the community to remove violence and ensure peace,
The law enforcement powers or no law enforcement powers, the people simply do not care.
So, what the Police is doing right now has caused great public anger,
And the curses on the internet are getting louder and louder.
The mayor even personally called the police commissioner,
Asking them to immediately stop the blockade and searching in Fei group,
And at the same time publicly give an explanation,
Telling them why they blocked Fei’s group to arrest and whether they had caught them.
The police chief’s head is as big as a bucket. After repeatedly confirming that the special operations team had found no trace of Ruoli,
He immediately rushed into Duncan’s temporary command center, pointed at his nose, and cursed,
“Pull everyone out immediately! In five minutes,”
“You will go and explain to the media the purpose and results of today’s operation!”
Duncan was already manipulated by the gambler’s mentality at this time and vowed to take this opportunity to take a chance.
Therefore, at this time, hearing that the director wants to let him withdraw the people,
Duncan immediately angrily retorted: “If we withdraw the people now, it will be a complete loss for us!”
The director asked rhetorically: “Hasn’t it been thoroughly searched? How much longer do you want to search?”
“Even if I give you a month’s time to tear down this building, you will not be able to find the people!”
Duncan blurted out, “Director, you let the special operations team search again,”
“I think she definitely can’t escape, maybe she’s hiding somewhere in the Fei Group!”
The chief said angrily: “Li, I know you are close to retirement, encountered such a case,”
“In heart, you must not be convinced, but I tell you, now this matter has been in front of the media,”
“And in public, it has sparked a huge discontent, now the Internet is full of curses for police,”
“The mayor has made countless calls accusing us!”
Duncan said: “That’s why we have to catch Ruoli and find a way to force her,”
“To give the cause and effect of the Cataclysmic Front’s involvement in this matter!”
The director scolded: “You’re out of your mind, right? Whether or not those people were killed by the Cataclysmic Front,”
“I’ll tell you one thing, now the people of the United States and even the world are applauding the death of these people,”
“And they all regard the killer behind the scenes as a hero,”
“Even the mayor asked us to stop the investigation, you still want to disobey the mayor’s orders?
Duncan was suddenly dumbfounded by the question.
He was silent for a moment and asked, “Director, it’s okay to close the team now,”
“But what about after that? Will this matter never be investigated?”
The director waved his hand and said, “This matter is not your concern,”
“You have less than a year to retire, tomorrow just hand over the work,”
“Take a leave period before retirement, rest at home when you retire,”
“I will give you a grand send-off ceremony, an honorable retirement.”
When Duncan heard this, he suddenly became anxious and said angrily: “You want me to get out now?
The director said word by word: “No, I just want you to take a break and leave the rest of the work to someone else.”
Saying that, the director patiently advised, “Li, you have dedicated so many years to the police department,”
“Think of it as leaving more opportunities for young people,”
“Before you retire, as for yourself, just go and take a good rest.”
“No way!” Duncan said in a cold voice: “There is no way I can retire early until this case is solved!”
“I can’t allow my years of police career to end up with such a humiliating case to retire with!”
After saying that, he threatened, “Chief, if you want to take this case out of my hands,”
“Then I will go to the mayor to complain against you!”
“Complaining about me?” The director gave a bitter laugh, then said helplessly:
“Li, I told you clearly, next year’s mayoral election, the current mayor is seeking a re-election,”
“This case has already brought a great negative impact on his re-election,”
“If now because we provoke public anger, then the hope of re-election will be completely lost!”
“So, it’s not me who wants you to retire early, it’s the mayor who wants you to retire early!”
When these words came out, Duncan was dumbfounded.
He really didn’t expect that the mayor, who had repeatedly praised him in public, wanted him to retire early.
The director saw that he could not say anything, so he continued to add:
“Li, there are only two options in front of you, the first is that you take the initiative to apply for early retirement,”
“This case will make you lose some face, but at least will not let you lose your reputation,”
“It is just a stain, as the people say, not a sage, who can not be faulted,”
“There is such a stain, it will not have much effect on you.”
“Besides, as the Police Commissioner, this case will also leave a stain on my resume,”
“I can face it openly, what do you have to hesitate about?”
Speaking of which, the Commissioner cleared his throat and added:
“Ahem …… Li, if you do not want to do this, then the Police will publicly announce the suspension of your work,”
“as for the reason for suspending your work, in view of the fact that you have unshirkable responsibility,”
“In a number of aspects of this series of cases, including but not limited to the fact that,”
“For so long failed to discover the facts of Randal and other people’s crimes,”
“As well as Randal’s kidnapping case until he was torn by the murderer you failed to catch them!”
Duncan’s entire body was suddenly green with anger.
But the director said with a serious face: “Li, out of the big things that can not be solved,”
“Someone has to come out to take the blame, you work in the Police for so many years,”
“This reason you can not understand? I do not want you to take the blame,”
“But if you are really stubborn, then I can only say sorry to you in advance!”
Duncan gritted his teeth and looked at the other party,
Even though his heart was filled with hatred, he also knew that the chief was telling the truth.
In fact, most of the time, the Police system is still very protective of the calf,
Their own people caused trouble, the top for overall image considerations will certainly find a way out.
However, the Police is not always able to handle everything.
In the past few years, the Police’s violent law enforcement against ethnic minorities has caused huge public outrage,
And at first, the Police tried to shield their own people, but in the end,
They had to make sacrifices because of public outrage.
Now Randal is involved in a series of cases that is also extremely bad, but suddenly,
The police department has not found a way to deal with it,
But from the current situation, one can also guess, that the probability of this matter is difficult to investigate,
So it will not take long, in the Police department it must be someone to take the blame.
Now, it may be a wise choice to retreat.
Moreover, Duncan also knows that now he has little choice.
Either go for an active retirement or passive retirement, in the end, there is no second choice but to retire.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, he spoke decisively and said, “Okay, I accept it.”
The director nodded gratefully and instructed, “Later on, you go and do a short meeting with the media,”
“Say that the police got a tip-off that there were suspects operating in this building,”
“But after searching, it was confirmed that there was no trace of the suspects,”
“And this operation might be a mistake of intelligence, don’t explain too much else.”
Duncan said helplessly, “Okay, I’ll go in a moment.”
The director nodded and said, “Tomorrow morning I will arrange an internal meeting,”
“You will take the initiative at the meeting that you are too stressed and want to take a break,”
“I will agree to do so, and then give this case to Bruno to continue to be in charge.”
Duncan asked, “Is it to let Bruno continue the investigation?”
“Investigation!” The director waved his hand and said,
“I will ask Bruno to change the direction of the investigation, on the one hand,”
“To investigate the identity of the victims to see if there are other victims who have not been found,”
“On the other hand, also thoroughly investigate Randal and his other associates,”
“To see if there are any fish left out of the net.”
Duncan asked off the cuff: “What about the murderer? No more arrests?”
“Arrest what!” The director smiled and asked him, “You tell me how to catch them?”
“If it’s not the work of the Cataclysmic Front, can we find the real killer?”
“If it is the work of the Cataclysmic Front, how do you want me to go to the Front to catch someone?”
“Not to mention that the Cataclysmic Front is not easy to deal with, even if it is,”
“How am I going to explain the people’s side after I’ve arrested them?”
“When the time comes, after all the hard work, it will still be a scolding?”
Duncan could not help but ask: “Director, we are law enforcement officers,”
“If we do not catch such criminals who blatantly violate the law, how can we uphold the dignity of the law?”
The director said blandly: “At times like this, we must learn to compromise,”
“Our priority is not to maintain the dignity of the law, but to satisfy the public,”
“I plan to render it into a headless unsolved case, then the public will not think we are incompetent,”
“They will only think that their heroes are more powerful than they thought,”
“And then will not be because we did not solve the case, and then come to trouble us!”
Hearing this, Duncan could not help but say:
“Since it is rendered into a headless unsolved case, there is no need for me to retire early, right?”
“I’ll obey the arrangement and stop investigating this case!”
The director shook his head: “No, the mayor knows your temper, so he has already said that you must retire early!”
The conversation with the director was only a short ten minutes, but Duncan felt,
As if he had aged ten years all of a sudden in this time.
He was very clear about the mayor’s intention to let him retire early,
Even if he did not directly dump the pot on him,
But in the eyes of the public, he was still the one who took the fall.
And to let yourself retire early is to punish yourself.
At that time and then rendering his contribution to New York, subliminally release a message to the people, that is:
Although from Mr. Li, this time, things are not very good,
But this man reserved all his dedication for the New York citizens for many years,
Not that he thinks he is wrong this time so he has requested early retirement.
For his hard work and dedication to the community all his life, don’t be too hard on him.
Generally speaking, the people are eating this up.
This is like the dedicated security guard in his own community who has worked for half his life,
He has spent half his life doing his best to protect the security of the community,
And then accidentally let in a group of thieves when he was about to retire, who can blame him for anything?
Thinking of this, Duncan’s heart, admired this mayor immensely.
This mayor has also been a police officer for 22 years, and his methods are very powerful.
This time, he is borrowing himself to come up with a four-two-shoot.
With so much public anger, it is only by throwing himself out to play the emotion card,
And take the pity route so that he can overcome the strong with softness.
For Duncan himself, although this tactic will make him feel doubly humiliated, but right now he has no other choice.
So, he picked up the walkie-talkie and gave his last order as a detective,
So that all the members of the special team immediately withdrew from the Fei Group headquarters building.
The withdrawal of the special team officially announced the failure of this arrest operation.
Media reporters were waiting for the police spokesman to come out and explain the situation,
And Duncan, who was more than ten years older, then stepped in front of all the media reporters.
At this moment, countless reporters with long guns and short cannons,
Trying their best to loudly raise their various questions to him.
He stretched out his hands to indicate everyone to quiet down, then opened his mouth and said,
“I’m sorry to take up your time as well as the Fei Group’s, this time,”
“Our arrest operation has been declared a failure due to intelligence and decision-making errors,”
“Now the special operations team has been withdrawn, the Fei Group will be able to resume normal office order immediately.”
The media reporters still want to ask questions, while Duncan directly spoke:
“I know what you want to ask, this time the failure is mainly on me,”
“I recently suffered a great negative impact on my body and spirit,”
“Coupled with the age has also been too old, really not very suitable to continue,”
“To be responsible for such a major case, so I have requested from Mayor Adams, and applied for early retirement.”
When the media reporters on the scene heard this, they were stunned and dumbfounded.
No one expected that this detective, who had always had a very good reputation, would suddenly announce his early retirement.
At this time, Duncan said with a face of shame:
“About the recent cases that happened in New York, I am personally sorry,”
“I failed to anticipate the crime and terminate it in advance,”
“It is my failure as a police officer, here I want to say sorry to the people of New York and the whole United States!”
After saying that, he faced the camera and made a deep bow.
Then, without waiting for the media reporters to ask questions,
He turned around and left the scene in a car under the cover of several police officers.
Soon, the news of Duncan’s announcement of early retirement was reported through the major media.
Charlie, who was quietly watching Sara’s rehearsal, also received the push of this news.
Seeing this message, his expression was slightly surprised, but soon returned to normal.
He and Duncan have no grievances, from the heart he did not want him to retire early in this way,
But the matter of Randal makes the two stand on the actual opposite side,
So the conflict can not be unified, of the two one has to be the party to bear the bitter fruit of failure in this matter,
Charlie naturally does not want it to be himself.
Moreover, Duncan has already checked the clues to Hogan’s restaurant,
Now early retirement, in Charlie’s opinion, is a good thing,
