Chapter 343: Party (Asking for Monthly Tickets, Recommendations, and Subscriptions) Please Recommend! ! ! !
Marcus immediately told Kai with facts what seniority meant. He told Kai a lot of gossip about Matthew without even checking it.
It turns out that the reason why Matthew was beaten by others yesterday was very simple because he had slept with someone else's wife. To make matters worse, the blond middle-aged man was Matthew's previous partner. The guy with the green head is called Martin. Woody Martin. He used to be a member of their operations department, but he was transferred and left the operations department about three years ago. The reason was that he couldn't stand Matthew.
But before that, he and Matthew had a good time. At that time, the two of them were known as the best partners in the entire Chicago Police Department. Together they cracked many cases, the most famous of which was the 'cult corpse abuse case'. In that case, they not only killed the murderer directly, but also rescued several children who were imprisoned by the murderer.
This battle made these two famous. Martin is the other extreme from Matthew. He is cheerful and smooth, and is very popular among his colleagues in the police station. Both his boss and others think highly of him.
But it was also from that time that a rift appeared between the two. Matthew always felt that there were still doubts about the case back then, but Martin enjoyed his promotion and salary increase with peace of mind, and began to neglect his own work. After that, the two had a big fight and officially broke up. Martin applied for transfer to the intelligence team, while Matthew continued to sink.
Originally, it was just like that, and the two of them were just like that. Maybe they would nod when they met again. But somehow, Matthew actually got involved with Martin's wife, which made Martin completely lose control. He is very popular, and his colleagues in the intelligence team felt that what Matthew had done was too much, and they all supported Martin...
Then he was suppressed by Kai.
When Kai heard these nonsense things, he just felt a toothache. What the hell is this? Of course, it's really hard for Kai, an outsider, to get involved in this kind of thing. But as Marcus said before, Matthew has been investigating the case from previous years, which makes Kai very interested.
Could this be what ‘more terrifying darkness’ refers to?
"Do you know what he's looking for?" Kai asked Marcus.
Who knows, when Marcus heard this question, he looked around in an exaggerated manner and found that no one noticed him. He quickly lowered his body and whispered: "It is said that it is related to some powerful people. At least I know that Matthew once found Chicago." The superiors scolded Matthew for his troubles with the bishop of the diocese and ordered him never to harass the bishop again.
Although the United States is considered a "Protestant" country, in fact, Catholicism is very powerful in the United States. According to statistics, there are more than 51 million Catholics in the United States, accounting for about one-fifth of the total adult population in the United States, and there are more than 17,000 Catholic dioceses.
One can imagine how much influence the bishop of a large diocese has. The weight of this bishop alone is enough to make ordinary policemen despair.
"As for what he is checking specifically, I don't know. He is always mysterious, and no one knows what he is going to do. Marcus has actually been curious about what Matthew is checking for a while, but this time The guy is more cautious than expected, no one knows what he is busy with every day.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him. By the way, my sister came back from Miami today and there is a party. Do you want to come?" Marcus obviously didn't want to talk more about Matthew because the case he investigated was so big. Yes, I have been warned overtly and covertly several times by the superiors not to cause trouble on this matter again, otherwise the trouble will be huge.
"Of course, I'll be there on time."
…
Turning around, Kai picked up the phone.
"Hey, Old man! How are you doing?"
"Oh, Kai, I thought you had forgotten me as an old man. What? Do you want to drink?" William's magnetic voice came from the other side of the phone that could make even the announcer ashamed. To be honest, Kai always felt that William He is in the wrong profession. He should not be a policeman. If he becomes an announcer or a voice actor, he will definitely become a legend in the industry. His voice is so peaceful and kind that it can touch the deepest part of your heart.
His voice is absolutely popular when paired with a documentary or something.
Kai liked this old black man chatting and drinking very much. His voice and his experience were very easy to trust. During this period of time, if Kai had time, he would have a drink and chat with this old guy with an old heart.
Oh, by the way, William ultimately chose to postpone his retirement. The Chicago Police Department naturally welcomes this. If nothing else, his experience is a rare asset to the entire Chicago Police Department.
"You can drink at any time. You should know the location of my house. You are welcome at any time." Kai smiled and said: "Okay, back to the topic, I need to do me a favor. Help me check something."
Kai always cared about Matthew's words of "more terrifying darkness", he seemed to be foreshadowing something. Out of a policeman's curiosity, Kai felt the need to investigate and see what secrets were hidden in the 'cult corpse abuse case'.
"Um... is it troublesome?" William did not reject Kai. Just as Kai particularly liked drinking and chatting with him, William also had a good impression of Kai. Because he could always feel a calmness in Kai that he could not see in others. William was a believer in absolute rationality and believed that only such people were suitable for police work.
"It's a bit troublesome, so you need to investigate secretly." Since the matter involves a bishop of a major diocese, it is definitely not a small matter. Never underestimate the power of Catholicism in American society. There have always been many cases of sexual assault of minors by Catholic priests, but in the American media, it is rare to see these cases being caught and not let go. Many times, those criminal priests will not be punished by law. They will get away with many reasons and transfer to another diocese, and then the matter will be over.
Then Kai slowly told William the whole story.
"So that's it... I know." William said at last.
Kai didn't say much, because he knew that William would definitely take this matter seriously. First, it was because the fire in William's heart had never been extinguished. He was always the Chicago policeman who pursued justice. Another reason was that William, like Kai, was an atheist!
This is rare. Old-school blacks in the United States are basically Catholics. In fact, among American Catholics, Hispanics and blacks have always accounted for a large proportion, while whites only account for one-third of the total Catholic population.
…
At night, Kai drove his Cobra 427 with Kelly to the South Side. As we all know, the South Side of Chicago is a black community with poor public security. But don’t imagine the entire South Side as a place with bullets and gunfire every day. In fact, there are many safe communities in the South Side, such as Hyde Park, Jackson Park Heights, Kenwood and Beverly, which are all quite safe communities.
And Marcus’ home is in the Hyde Park community, which is close to Lake Michigan. The environment is very good and the scenery is pleasant. The University of Chicago and the Museum of Science and Technology are both located on the edge of Hyde Park, and part of the beautiful Jackson Park is also located within the boundary. On the shore of Lake Michigan, not only beautiful scenery is provided for residents and tourists, but also running or cycling along the 18-mile-long lakeside.
It can be said that Marcus’ home is quite good.
When Kai arrived with Kelly, who was dressed up, the small garden behind Marcus’ home was already full of people. But when Kai showed up with Kelly, everyone stared at the couple with their mouths wide open...
They were all dressed casually, only Kai and Kelly were dressed like they were going to a cocktail party.
Kai was fine, if he wasn't wearing a uniform, he would dress neatly most of the time, and a suit was always his first choice for daily life. Although it was a bit heavy, it didn't seem out of place, but Kelly's evening dress was a bit... in short, it was very abrupt.
Kelly was embarrassed, she wanted to leave a good impression in front of Kai's colleagues, so she had to dress so heavily. But the young man reacted quickly, and when she saw a group of people looking at her with strange eyes, she immediately pulled the hem of her skirt.
With a swish.
The evening dress immediately turned into a short skirt, which was much better, and a princess instantly became a hot girl.
Theresa, Marcus's wife (this is a bit embarrassing, Marcus's wife and his boss have the same name, forget it, just use different Chinese characters to distinguish them), also stood up very decently and pulled Kelly to talk to her about some topics between women.
"Hey~~Buddy!" Seeing Kelly walk away with a wasp waist, Marcus immediately came over with an expression that all men understand. He said enviously: "Is she an adult? Hey, brother, I have to say, you really impressed me."
Kai smiled a little awkwardly, not quite knowing how to say this. After all, it is really not easy to explain that he has a girlfriend who is much younger than him.
Mike also came over at this time.
"Wow! She is such a hot chick, how did you meet her?"
Mike is known as the No. 1 lover in the police station. This guy is not honest even when he sees a psychologist. He slept with his own psychologist in less than two hours.
"Uh... this... everything happened just like that. I actually can't react." Teacher Kai said.
Marcus obviously didn't believe it. "Why do you rich boys like playing cop games so much? Listen, if my dad could leave me a lot of money, I wouldn't be a cop! Living a life of drunkenness and dreaming, changing girls every day, isn't it fun?"
This guy thought Kai was the kind of rich boy who used money to pick up girls. But his words obviously offended Mike.
"You know what? I've heard enough of your bullshit! My family is rich, so I should apologize? And, Niko! Don't compare you to us! I never use money to make out with girls! And, are you sure you know who your dad is?"
"Oh~~~Oh, calm down, I don't think we need to quarrel about this." Kai stood between the two of them as soon as he saw them arguing. He didn't expect that the two guys, who have been partners for six years, would have such a fragile relationship.
Unexpectedly, Kai's blocking made the two embarrassed. In fact, this is their daily life. Marcus is a good man who makes money to support his family. He values his family more, so he is not very motivated most of the time. After all, if he dies, his family will go bankrupt immediately. Houses in Hyde Park are not cheap. The mortgage alone is enough for Marcus. Not to mention that Marcus has four children... Black people generally like to have many children.
"We are just joking. We have always been like this, Saury, Saury."
Kai was stunned, then laughed. He had heard of this kind of thing before. Some people like to fight each other as soon as they meet, but they actually have a good relationship. It's just that he has never seen it. He didn't expect to see a couple now.
Soon the atmosphere became better again, and others joined in the chat. There was no theme, just a lot of talking.
Until Kai accidentally said that his car was not bought by him, but given to him by Kelly, everyone looked at Kai with an expression of "I want to beat him to death".
"Really?" Marcus scratched his head with both hands and said in disbelief. For a guy like him who is only 29 years old but looks like 40 years old, it is hard to understand that such a hot girl would pay for Kai. This does not conform to his values.
Kai shrugged his shoulders. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Of course, this is also based on the fact that Kai himself is not short of money. Who would think too much because his girlfriend handed him an apple? In Kai's view, the car is really nothing to his wealth. On the contrary, if Kai was a poor guy, he would not accept such an expensive gift. He is a male chauvinist and it is difficult for him to tolerate being a gigolo.
Others followed suit. They had no ill intentions, but just thought that Kai made a lot of money. A girl who can afford a Cobra 427 is definitely not from an ordinary family, and she is so beautiful... Damn life winner.
"What are you talking about, can I join?" At this time, a black girl came over, obviously curious about the excitement just now.
"Kai, this is Sydney, my sister." Marcus immediately introduced proudly.
Seeing Sydney, Kai believed what Mike said just now, because these two people definitely can't have the same father. Apart from anything else, Sydney's height is completely better than Marcus.
"Why do I feel insulted?" Marcus saw Kai's eyes and easily understood what he meant.
Sydney immediately smiled and hit her brother.
"Sydney, now working for the DEA."
"DEA? I used to hate meeting DEA people the most, because every time I met a DEA agent, it meant big trouble." Kai smiled and shook hands with Sydney, and then immediately said: "But seeing you, I feel that meeting the DEA is not a bad thing."
Sydney was amused by Kai's compliment. Of course, most of this was indeed flattery. Sydney was definitely a beauty according to black people's standards, but Kai couldn't appreciate her. It wasn't because of her skin color, there were many beautiful black people, but her facial features were too hard, especially her eyebrows and eyes. From the perspective of Oriental people's aesthetics, she looked more masculine than Marcus.
Unexpectedly, Kai's polite compliment immediately made Marcus nervous. In his opinion, Kai and Mike were both people who needed to be on the blacklist of vigilance. Mike was not to mention. From Marcus's perspective as a good man, Mike was undoubtedly a bastard, and a scumbag who didn't like to take responsibility.
Kai was even more terrifying. He could actually make a girl pay for him. This was much higher than Mike's level. Mike could only cheat on her body, while Kai cheated on her money and sex, and finally lost both his money and his life.
His reputation was damaged.
However, Kai could understand Marcus's nervousness. If he had a sister, he might be even more exaggerated than Marcus. But what's interesting is that Kai actually saw a subtle change in Mike's expression... Could it be that this guy...
No one expected that Kai's bad luck would come true the next moment when they were laughing and joking here.
Marcus' wife Theresa handed the phone to Mike. Mike just put the receiver to his ear and was immediately frightened by a roar and took the phone away immediately.
"Okay, boss, maybe you are saying 'get over here right now?'"
There was another roar immediately. Then he hung up.
"Okay, maybe not..." Mike shrugged and put down the phone.
"Hey, guys, lift your butts, we're going to work, it looks like another bad luck."
Oh~~~~~!
The party was in full swing, and it was certainly unpleasant to be interrupted.
But they didn't know that this incident was not just a trouble.
