Chapter 501: The Second Update of the Excitement. Please Give Me the Monthly Pass at the End of the Month!!!
That afternoon, the entire Los Angeles law enforcement agency heard a shocking gossip. →
That is, the West District Police Department and the DEA had a fight!
A group of police officers from the West District Major Crimes Unit rushed into the DEA building and forcefully brought back a girl from inside. Then, less than half an hour later, the West District Major Crimes Unit contacted the District Attorney and asked the District Attorney to issue an arrest warrant!
The entire judicial system was shaken.
The city police actually wanted to arrest DEA agents! This is a big scandal in the judicial system!
It is said that the Department of Justice exploded after hearing the news. An assistant secretary of the Department of Justice called the office of the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department at the time, and then scolded him and asked him to control the situation!
But...what control!
The Department of Justice is awesome, but it does not vertically manage the Los Angeles Police Department! The Department of Justice is a federal agency and only has the right to advise the city police, not jurisdiction! The appointment of the police chief is decided by the City Council! It has nothing to do with the Department of Justice at all. After all, the United States is a federal country, and state power is very large.
Of course, if it is not necessary, the Los Angeles Police Department will not embarrass the Department of Justice.
But now it is not a question of face or not, but a question of buttocks! Can the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department suppress this incident? Of course he can, but at the same time he can't do so!
He is the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department! Not a subordinate of the Department of Justice.
The DEA is directly under the Department of Justice.
There is a natural difference between his position and that of the Assistant Attorney General!
In order to avoid scandals under the Department of Justice, the Department of Justice will naturally suppress this case.
But the problem is that the police department and the DEA have a falling out. As the chief, will he flatter the DEA? Does he still want his reputation? He is the chief, and he is indeed in a high position, but don't forget that the real work is still the grassroots police. Now the police department and the DEA are in a confrontation. If his position is wrong, do you believe that the police below will make big news for him at any time?
Perhaps because of the vast land and sparse population, Americans have a very strong interest in association.
They like to form various associations, and even alcohol abstinence has mutual aid associations. The profession of police is naturally more united.
The Los Angeles police and the DEA had clashed more than once or twice, and there had been a lot of dirty stuff between the two. What's more, this time it was also involved in a family massacre, in which two minors were killed, one was seventeen years old and the other was five years old!
This kind of brutal tragedy is unacceptable to anyone.
Well, there was already resentment, and now there was this tragedy.
Can the police let it go?
As the director, he was completely making himself uncomfortable by doing something wrong at this time!
If he offended the Ministry of Justice, at most his future would be bleak, but if he offended tens of thousands of police officers under his command... he would have no future at all. It takes a lot of courage to betray the group he represents.
So the General Administration directly fought back, and it was justified!
The DEA people killed people, and it was a family massacre! There were also two minors!
Their fingerprints and bullet shells were everywhere at the scene, and now there are even eyewitnesses, what else do they want?
And there will be a bigger explosion point soon.
DEA agents are trafficking drugs!
Norman is suspected of colluding with drug dealers and using his power to sell drugs. The drug dealer Dolan who was killed was one of Norman's subordinates. He worked as a driver, that is, a drug transporter. According to the little girl Matilda, it was Dolan who stole a batch of Norman's goods!
Speaking of which, Dolan is also a brain hole. You stole his goods, but you didn't run away quickly, and you stayed in Los Angeles. Isn't this looking for death?
Of course, Dolan is not completely brainless. He certainly knows that he has to run away quickly, but he must sell the goods first and run away with the money. Running away with the goods is too eye-catching. On the contrary, money is very useful. Dolan is of Mexican descent, and he has a way to launder money.
He only needs to buy postal money orders in the United States. Although the United States has regulations that deposits of funds exceeding US$10,000 will be recorded and reported, this method is also easy to solve. Just buy 9999 directly. As long as it does not exceed 10,000, no one will care! Buy a bunch of postal money orders and then go to Panama to exchange the postal money orders for money.
It was a very simple and crude money laundering method. Some drug lords' money laundering methods were much more sophisticated than this, and there was no way to check them. But Dolan didn't need it. He was a one-time deal. When he got rich, he went to a Nordic country and lived a comfortable life.
But just when he was about to sell the drugs in his hands, Norman came to his door... What bad luck.
The only problem now was to find the drugs.
Unfortunately, Matilda only overheard her father and stepmother discussing a little bit, and she didn't know where the drugs were.
However, combined with the fact that Norman turned Dolan's house upside down several times, everyone had reason to believe that Norman was really looking for those drugs.
Of course, it was a bit wishful thinking to want to bring Norman down by this, after all, he was the DEA's job to catch drugs. It was completely explainable.
But killing the child, there was really no way to wash it!
According to the traces at the scene, the gunfight took place in the living room, and only there were traces of Dolan firing back, but the corridor, bathroom, and children's room were also full of bullet holes, which is hard to explain!
So after the local prosecutor received the police application, although he was very hesitant, he still issued an arrest warrant the next day!
This is Los Angeles. The paparazzi are more powerful than the agents. They are all-pervasive. Once this news gets out, the cliff will cause a sensation. Don't worry about whether the DEA is accidentally injured. Even if it is an accidental attack, it will be bad luck. At this time, the District Attorney will jump out. Obstruction...are you planning to fight against public opinion?
Don’t forget, prosecutors are also elected by the people!
So, even if the Ministry of Justice is unhappy, the District Attorney can't do anything about it. They are responsible for their votes.
The DEA and the Department of Justice were almost pissed to death by the Los Angeles prosecutor and police department!
There is absolutely no need for them to do this!
Even if there is a real problem, internal communication is still possible. We can let the DEA handle it internally. Even if we pursue legal responsibility, the Ministry of Justice can handle it. How can we handle it now that there is such a big fuss?
Anyway, they are all going to be unlucky, right?
Adhering to the principle that if you can't solve the problem, solve the people who created the problem.
The DEA and the Department of Justice have two plans.
The first set is naturally the one with the least loss.
Get Kai!
He advocated re-investigation of the case. He was also the mastermind and main force in the head-on confrontation with the DEA. He also had the power to investigate the case. Get rid of him and everything will be easy.
But after checking, it turns out it’s a bird!
First, he is related to Tony Stark. This is actually not very impressive. After all, Tony has many connections. Does it mean that if he has one connection, others will shy away from him? Although the United States is indeed a money society, rich people are just a fool. But not everyone has to give Stark face, he is not God.
Secondly, Kai himself is also a rich man!
Kay's net worth may be a secret to others, but it's not really a secret to the judicial system. Kay has to pay taxes.
Kai is a shareholder of Wayne Group!
Although Afu's series of operations allowed some people to hold shares on behalf of others, so the shares in Kai's own name are not obviously large, but this is still a huge number!
Why should a rich man be a policeman? Crazy line!
He was rich and had an irreconcilable relationship with Tony Stark. After all, Kai went to Afghanistan to hide Tony's matter from the public, not from those above him.
This is not easy to do.
It’s not like the DEA didn’t find out about Kai’s relationship with the DEA. Kai and the DEA also cooperated in the past. But it was no use, Kai didn't answer at all.
So this plan can only be stillborn.
The second one is, of course, to deal with Norman!
Of course this is the last option, not that far yet.
Although there is evidence and witnesses, this is the United States. In American courts, a good team of lawyers can definitely turn right into wrong.
The most typical example is "Thompson's murder of his wife". The whole world knew that Thompson killed his wife, but a group of lawyers worked it out in court and the guy was acquitted.
Now the DEA and the Department of Justice cannot be cowards. After all, the pot is too big.
If there is only one case of family extermination, manslaughter can be used as a defense, and there is still a chance of struggle. Although it will still be criticized by public opinion, there is still a glimmer of hope.
But if this blame is taken away, what about the drug trafficking charges? They have to have a motive for killing, right?
DEA agents sell drugs!
Just thinking about this title makes the top officials of the Department of Justice and DEA tremble with fear.
Especially the DEA... they are a department that specializes in combating drugs. If such a scandal occurs, a string of people above them will have to bow down and step down, and the entire DEA department will be criticized.
So you must resist!
…
Originally I thought this incident was already very lively, but a call to the police in the afternoon pushed the incident to a climax.
Norman's right-hand man, McGee, died.
Killed with a party of Irishmen.
They were killed in the back kitchen and wine cellar of a restaurant. No one was left alive. They were all killed with one blow.
The time happened to be when Matilda sneaked into the DEA building and planned to assassinate Norman!
According to the investigation, those Irish people are not good people. They are Irish gangsters who have been very popular in the underground world of Los Angeles recently!
Their main business is selling contraband!
A narcotics agent sits down with a gang of drug dealers in a secluded location and is killed...
As long as you have a little imagination, you can think of a series of negative words such as "collusion between police and criminals", "complicity", "guarding and stealing" and so on.
This time, the police department is more confident.
For example, the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department even called Kai directly on his landline, telling him to 'uphold justice', 'enforce the law impartially' and so on. To put it bluntly, I just told Kai to go ahead and make this case a solid case!
His idea is very simple. Since he is already in opposition to that side, he might as well go directly to the DEA to kill them and gain good political achievements for himself.
Drug trafficking by DEA anti-narcotics agents was busted by the Los Angeles Police Department...
The director couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. By then, the Los Angeles Police Department will be in the limelight. As the police chief, he is a good leader, does not seek power, and insists on justice. He is indispensable, right?
This is called a blessing in disguise!
The impact of falling out with the DEA and the Ministry of Justice on his career can be completely compensated by this amazing performance!
Even Dustin, who has never been very active, ran to the crime squad to mobilize with an expression of "Justice, here I come."
"Irish..." Chap heard these words and immediately glanced at Kai. The meaning is obvious.
Kai naturally understood that after all, the world line was closed, so he could cook it with a spoonful!
So Kai found Dustin, who had been mobilized, and asked him to authorize him to raid the Irish gang's lair tonight! Last time, the Irish gang caused the police team to lose a brother and sent three brothers to the hospital. It is natural to take revenge at this time!
...
At night, near a five-story building near Chesterfield Square, Kai and Chap were watching the situation in the building.
At eight o'clock, Kai stood quietly in the shadows with his hands folded across his chest.
"It's time to start the action!"
Then Kai turned his head to the south and counted silently in his heart. Ten seconds later, gunshots suddenly rang out in a low building in the south, and those gunshots were particularly clear in the dark.
In the five-story building not far away, many floors began to run, and many people began to make phone calls. In less than ten minutes, cars drove out of the underground garage of the building and headed straight to the south. Police officers below have begun to count the number of people who ran away.
According to previous intelligence, there are usually one hundred to one hundred and fifty gangsters stationed in the building not far away.
In less than five minutes, more than fifty gangsters left the building. So, there are only fifty to one hundred gangsters left in the building. The location of the gunfight in the south is the largest warehouse of the Irish gang in this area, and the goods stored in it are at least enough for the sales of the gangs in the West District for ten days.
In order to get the location of this warehouse, Chap spent a lot of effort. He broke two baseball bats before he got this from a dealer.
As for the police shooting... Anyway, the warehouse is alone by the river, and there are no other buildings nearby, so there is no fear of accidentally hurting others. More importantly... There are all drugs there! What's wrong with the police shooting? Fight crime!
Seeing that no one continued to come out of the building, Kai touched his nose. It seems that these Irish are more careful than expected. They didn't send all the brothers out, and the effect of luring the tiger away from the mountain is not outstanding. However, it is acceptable. At most, Kai will be tired by then, and he just needs to kill a few more.
"Let's start too!"
Kai lit a cigar and rushed to the main entrance of the building with two teams.
Inside the transparent glass door, the two guards on the left and right were smoking. Of course, the gang members would not stand guard in an orderly manner. They were considered dedicated if they could stay in their positions without running around. The two of them were talking about the gunshots from the warehouse while puffing out cigarettes, and they didn't notice that a group of special police were approaching quickly on the road opposite the door.
When they found out, the special police had already rushed to the door, and a special police member was holding a large ball of something similar to chewing gum.
Bang!
It was directly pasted on the door, and then an electronic device was inserted on it, and then everyone stood on both sides of the door.
"Fire!"
A special police member took out a remote control and pressed it hard.
Boom!
The tempered glass door shattered instantly, and a strong wind swept through.
