"But... even if I know this, it's useless. I need evidence! I can't just go and find them, right? They won't admit it." Tony actually agreed with Jessica's guess deep down, but the problem is that guessing is useless!

If you can't find the person or the thing, it's useless to say anything.

"Haha, you are an outsider. In this world, there has never been any silent action. As long as you have been here, you will definitely leave traces. The key is whether you are willing to make up your mind to investigate!"

This is the truth. There has never been a perfect crime in this world, let alone a real unsolved case! The only thing that limits finding the truth is always off-site factors! Especially the resources invested!

As long as you are willing to invest, there is nothing that can't be found.

For example, the world's famous unsolved case - Jack the Ripper!

Jack the Ripper was a notorious serial killer in London, England in the late 19th century. He committed a series of brutal murders in the Whitechapel district in 1888 and was never caught. To this day, the identity of Jack the Ripper remains an unsolved mystery, triggering a lot of speculation and research.

Could the Ripper really do it perfectly? Or, could he fly and hide?

However, the fact is... this case was not taken seriously at all! On August 7, 1888, a tragedy occurred near Whitechapel in the East End of London. The murderer killed at least five women in a row in a brutal manner. However, the authorities did not care much... After all, the dead were prostitutes, and the murder of prostitutes was actually a common and not taken seriously at the time. Who would care about those dirty prostitutes?

Until September 25, 1888, the Central News Agency received a letter written in red ink and stamped with fingerprints, signed "Jack the Ripper". The letter stated in a joking manner that he was the murderer and claimed that he would continue to kill more women before being arrested. After that, the murderer wrote to the relevant units for provocation many times, but he never fell into the law. Their bold crime methods, which were repeatedly exaggerated by the media, caused panic in British society at that time.

But even so, the police didn't really care.

First, the people's thinking at that time was like that. Prostitutes were not sympathized with. No one cared about women's rights at that time, let alone prostitutes, so the police couldn't spend their resources on such things... In their view, prostitutes are like weeds. No matter how many they die, there will be no change. Anyway, the next batch will appear soon.

Second... Daiying. Not to mention the past, even the current Daiying's police are very lame. Don't believe that those foreign police can have any idea of ​​pleading for the people, it's impossible!

The modern police system originated in the United Kingdom. The earliest police agency in the world was the London Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom, commonly known as "Scotland Yard". This new agency was not a response to the increase in crime rates, nor did it bring new ways to deal with crimes. Before and after the invention of the police, the most common way to solve a case was by people pointing the finger. In addition, the original "crime" referred to individual behavior, and the ruling class that invented the police intended to deal with the challenges brought by collective action. In short: the police were created in response to large and provocative crowds. These included: strikes in Britain; riots in the North; and the threat of slave revolts in the South. So the police were invented in response to the masses—not to crime. I will focus on who these masses were, and how they became such a challenge to the ruling class. We will see that, in addition to the growth of polarization in urban society, another difficulty faced by the rulers was the breakdown of previous methods of monitoring individual workers. In those decades, the state stepped in to fill the social gap. We will see that in the North, the invention of the police was just part of the state's daily work of managing and shaping workers. The government also expanded the poor relief system to regulate the labor market and established a public education system to regulate workers' thinking. I will talk about these in relation to the police later, but mainly focus on the development of the police in London, New York, Charleston (South Carolina), and Philadelphia.

That is, the birth of the Western police was fundamentally for repression, when capitalism rose and more and more things were produced to be sold on the market. The losers in the market competition began to lose their independence as producers and became wage labor. But in places like Britain, the biggest force driving people to seek wage work was state-sanctioned enclosures that drove peasants off the land. As peasants became refugees from the countryside, towns grew, and inequality within them grew. The bourgeoisie became a social class more distinct from the workers than ever before. The market was having a persecutory effect on the solidarity of the craft guilds… Workshops were becoming ever larger, with a single English boss potentially commanding dozens of workers. This was the period before the true factory industrialization of the mid-1700s.

There were still no police forces at this time, but the wealthier classes began to use increasing violence to suppress the poor. Sometimes the army was ordered to shoot at rebellious crowds, and sometimes police officers would arrest leaders and hang them. The class struggle began to heat up, but things really began to change when the Industrial Revolution began in Britain.

Meanwhile, the French were going through their own political and social revolution, beginning in 1789. The British ruling class responded by panicking about the possibility that British workers might learn from the French, and they banned trade unions and meetings of more than fifty people. Yet from 1792 to 1820, British workers still organized increasingly large demonstrations and strikes. The ruling class responded by sending in the army. But the army could do only two things, both of which were bad: they could refuse to shoot, and the crowd would get away with it; or they could shoot into the crowd and produce working-class martyrs.

This is exactly what happened in Manchester in 1819. Soldiers were sent into a crowd of eighty thousand, wounding hundreds and killing eleven. The action, known as the Pietro Massacre, did not subdue the crowd, but instead triggered a wave of strikes and demonstrations. Even the time-honored strategy of hanging the leaders of the movement began to backfire. A hang had a terrifying effect on a hundred spectators, but now the crowd was as many as fifty thousand supporters of the condemned man, and the hang only made them more eager to fight. The growth of British cities, and the growth of social polarization within them, these two quantitative changes, had begun to produce a substantial new outbreak of struggle. The ruling class needed new institutions to control these struggles. One was the London Police, founded in 1829, just ten years after the Pietro Massacre. The new police force was specifically designed to inflict non-lethal violence on crowds, dispersing them while avoiding the creation of martyrs. Any organized group of people engaged in routine violence will kill some people, but for every police murder, there are hundreds or thousands of non-lethal police violence - calculated violence to produce intimidation while avoiding a collective reaction of anger.

While the London police occasionally assembled into small units to control crowds, they were dispersed across the city to police the daily lives of the poor and working class. This sums up the unique dual function of modern police: distributed surveillance and intimidation in the name of crime prevention; centralized handling of strikes, riots and large demonstrations. This is why the police were invented - to deal with people.

So... you expect a group of policemen born to suppress people to expend a lot of energy investigating a killer of prostitutes?

What a beautiful thing to think about?

Unless those five women are fucking aristocratic women.

Obviously not.

Plus, people at that time liked to read bizarre news... especially suspenseful ones. You know, suspense novels were born in that era.

So the more mysterious and bizarre the story is, the more attention it attracts.

Can the Ripper be caught? Of course he can be caught. Even if there are not many criminal investigation methods, it is not that difficult to catch a murderer who left countless clues at the scene. Unfortunately, no one is willing to do so. There is even a rumor that the five women were not prostitutes at all, but the main force of the women's protest strike at that time. They were assassinated and then named prostitutes... What is the truth? It has been a hundred years, and no one can tell, but one thing is certain, the police and the government at that time did not intend to make great efforts to investigate.

After talking so much, it is nothing more than the same sentence. There is no so-called perfect crime in this world. It just depends on whether you are determined to investigate.

In fact, the same is true for modern police. Is there really a case that cannot be solved?

The answer is no, but the police simply can't take care of it. There is no way. Do you know how many cases happen in this world every day? How many police are there? What they can do is to solve the cases that can be solved as soon as possible, rather than sticking to one case. In fact, there are very few police officers in the world who will put all their energy into one case and ignore everything else... This is both a waste of resources and dereliction of duty!

After all, human lives are not divided into high and low. If someone dies in your family, the police will investigate, but if someone else dies... they will just ignore it?

This is a very realistic problem... If the police can't find out the truth in a short time, they will really put it aside... This is not a question of ability or not, but there are only so many resources, and it is impossible to stick to one case.

Are there police officers who stick to one case like in movies and TV dramas in reality?

Yes!

This is true. Some police officers will really follow a case for many years until they can solve it. But please note that this does not mean that the police will not do anything else. He can only take time out of work to continue investigating, and cannot squeeze out other cases.

Otherwise, the public will not agree, and the police will not agree.

So there are very few such policemen, because there is no real criminal policeman who is not busy. The usual work is enough to exhaust people, and then use the pitiful energy and time to investigate the case... Such people need great perseverance!

Ordinary policemen really can't come.

So such policemen are certainly respectable, but you can't ask all policemen to be like this. If this is the case, the entire police system will probably collapse.

The police are exhausted.

The reason why Jessica said this is to see whether Tony is willing to give up. As long as he is willing to go all out and use resources, Jessica can guarantee that he can find the person.

Is Tony willing to give up?

Just kidding!

How could Tony be reluctant?

For Tony, wealth is really just a number. A few hundred billion more or less has no effect on him at all! He doesn't need to bother to consider the so-called business interests now. Because the Stark Group has become a super union.

It is already too big to fail!

The current United States is completely different from the United States in the real world.

At this stage, the United States is not the world hegemon, and the hegemony of the US dollar has also fallen. Although the US dollar is one of the most important international currencies, its irreplaceability has disappeared. This will inevitably lead to a fundamental change in the economic structure of the American political arena.

This also led to the fact that the Stark Group's status in the United States is comparable to that of Samsung!

The White House and Congress represented by Benjamin are actually not satisfied with this form. But dissatisfaction does not mean that they can destroy this pattern. At least before the United States recovers, this pattern cannot be changed.

Once there is real turmoil, the United States itself cannot afford it!

This is too big to fail!

Therefore, the actual profitability of the Stark Group is supported by the whole United States, and they need this economic engine.

In this case, as long as you are not a fool, you can make money without spending much energy.

On the contrary, the most important thing for the United States now is that the Stark Group needs to spend money!

Spend a lot of money!

To put it bluntly, the economy is about flow.

If you don't flow, you're done. So as long as Tony is willing to spend money, no matter what he does, the government will support him.

So he doesn't need to care about those numbers.

In this case, it would be strange if he would care about wasting resources!

"Investigate, I'll give you as much as you want!"

For Tony, face is much more important than money!

"That's no problem."

Jessica never thought of using the resources of the police station from the beginning. First of all, Tony didn't report the case. If he didn't report the case, there would be no case. Without a case, the New York police would not be willing to waste time with Tony Stark.

In fact, the police are particularly reluctant to be associated with a high-ranking figure like Tony. If it is a personal relationship, it is of course good. But once it involves official business, it will be very troublesome. Because the reason is simple, can someone who can compete with Tony be a simple person?

Maybe that person is not a problem for Tony, but it is absolutely no problem to deal with these little policemen.

Take this case for example.

Involving the government... How do you want the police to investigate?

Whether to investigate or not, it will offend people.

Tony is not afraid, but the police station is afraid.

Another thing is that this case obviously requires a lot of resources, but the benefits may not be that much. If you get involved, you spend resources, make contributions, and you may not get any benefits at all in the end... Who has the time to get involved in such a thing?
