In the next few days, the 15th Precinct was on the right track. Kai and George's work had achieved considerable results, but they all knew that this was not enough. After all, the real problem of the 15th Precinct was not the corruption of a few or a small group of people, but the overall atmosphere. For example, the group of police officers that Kai let go, many of them did not take the matter of accepting black money very seriously. They just thought that it was just to give others some convenience, and it was not a big mistake.
As long as this atmosphere exists, it is only a matter of time before another group of black police officers appear. And the change of atmosphere is a long and continuous process, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight. This is also related to the national conditions of the United States. At least, no matter how powerful Kai is, he can't replace all the police officers in the 15th Precinct overnight. So these things can only be done slowly.
Look, there is a problem in the 15th Precinct again today.
"Who of you can tell me what's going on?" Kai threw a document on his desk, and a pair of black detectives stood opposite him.
"Chief, this has nothing to do with our 15th Precinct. It's a problem with the prison." One of the black detectives stood up and said aggrievedly.
His name is Pete, and he is a detective of Fifteen Minutes. He and his partner Mark are both in the criminal investigation team, specializing in various criminal cases.
"Oh? Really? Then who can tell me, this is called..." Kai flipped through the documents and saw the name of the suspect "Karen Page, why didn't you charge her when the evidence was conclusive? Instead, she was thrown directly into prison?"
According to US law, the police need to charge the suspect before he is detained in prison, and the suspect will be put in prison to facilitate the police to question and detain him at any time. But Kai did not see the accusation document signed by Pete and Mark on the document.
"In addition..." Kai threw all the documents on the ground in a rush: "These so-called evidences are shit in my opinion! Is this your first day as a policeman? Or do you think I am a fool? Will you believe the bullshit on it?"
The description of the crime scene in this investigation document is simply a pile of shit, and there is nothing else about the evidence except the murder weapon. According to Karen Page's confession, she knew nothing after drinking a few glasses of wine with the victim. So what about the authenticity verification? What about the confessions from the bar and the witnesses? Is there a motive? There must be a reason for murder, right? According to the confession, the lady said that she was not very familiar with the victim, but there were some work issues that needed to be communicated today, so they made an appointment to talk. This can also be seen from Karen Page's communication records. They rarely talked to each other.
So why did this lady suddenly want to kill? Especially since this lady had no bad record in the first half of her life in the police station, and had no violent tendencies.
So what about the motive?
Forget about the motive, there must be a process of committing the crime, right?
But there is no mention of it in the investigation file!
"Listen, I just cleared a group of problematic police officers in the 15th Precinct. I thought that most of the remaining ones should be fine, but this document slapped me in the face. Tell me, Mr. Pete and Mr. Mark, what should I do?"
Kai stood up and walked around the desk, came to the two of them, sat down on the desk, and looked at the two of them with a covetous look. →
At this moment, Kai's secretary knocked on the door.
"Chief, Karen Page's lawyer is here."
"Thank you, Misty, ask him to come over." Kai nodded.
"You're welcome. If you're willing to transfer me to the criminal investigation team, I'll thank you in return." Kai's secretary Misty said with a little smile.
Misty, whose real name is Mercedes Knight, is an excellent policewoman. She once studied at the New York City Police Academy. George was once an instructor at the school and was considered George's student. She graduated with excellent grades and then became a female patrolman. Later, when George left the police academy and worked at the New York General Police Department, Misty went to work under George. She was originally a police officer with a bright future, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
Once a group of gangsters attempted to rob a bank, but something went wrong and they were blocked by the police in the bank. After that, the robbers threatened to blow up the bank and confronted the police. At that time, it was George's team that handled the case. After a fight, the police broke into the bank and rescued the hostages. At that time, Misty found the bomb, but it exploded before she could deal with it, and her right arm was amputated.
Misty became disabled... George always regretted it, thinking that it was his improper command that caused Misty to become like this, so he took good care of Misty. Although Misty was disabled, she was still taken by George.
This time when George came to the 15th Precinct, Misty also came with him, and then she became Kai's secretary in a daze.
However, Misty has always been resistant to being a clerical worker. She doesn't want to be sympathized like now, and she prefers to go to the front line. But she is like this... George will not agree anyway.
"Then you should convince George." Kai waved his hand, and he was used to Misty's daily harassment.
Misty wrinkled her nose and made a face at Kai, and then went out.
"Other lawyers are here, you'd better give me an explanation. Otherwise, I will let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs handle this matter." Kai waited for Misty to leave, and looked at Pete and Mark. Kai has already given them a chance. If these two still don't behave, Kai can only take ruthless action against these two bastards.
Pitt and the other man looked at each other, then lowered their heads and whispered: "Someone threatened us with evidence of our past wrongdoings... We know this is not normal, so we have never charged her..."
Seeing these two bastards, Kai was so angry that his teeth itched. According to his heart, Kai's first thought was to deal with these two guys. But George kept persuading that after using thunder methods, he must be gentle, after all, most of the remaining people are not serious, and it is easy to mess up the morale that has been hard to gather again.
Kai didn't like it, but the overall situation was like this, Kai had to compromise.
"Is the handle you were caught with serious?"
The two looked at each other, and their faces were visibly bitter: "It was a video of us collecting black money once..."
"What about the evidence?" Kai didn't hesitate to say them, the 15th Precinct was full of such shit.
"We have got it..." The two said quickly. They were not stupid, knowing that they were threatened, it was impossible for them to do nothing. So the two found the evidence after tracking.
"No follow-up?"
"Well... We promise that there will be absolutely no follow-up!" The two quickly promised.
"Give me the evidence." Kai held out his hand.
The two hesitated for a long time, but finally gave in.
"Leave these things here with me. This is the last chance. If you dare to do anything bad again, you will be punished for multiple crimes and go to prison to pick up soap!" Kai put away the evidence and made an ultimatum.
"Yes, sir!" The two finally breathed a sigh of relief. It is better to keep the evidence in Kai's hands than to let others take it away.
At this time, the office was knocked again.
Misty walked in with two people, which Kai didn't expect. This Karen Page actually has two lawyers. But judging from the appearance of these two people, these two lawyers are not doing well. First of all, their suits look very poor. Although they are also famous brands, they are a bit old and not well maintained. At first glance, they are second-hand goods.
"They are Karen Page's attorneys, Matt Murdoch and Fergie Nelson of Nelson-Murdoch Law Firm." Misty left the office directly after introducing herself. To be honest, Misty is not as good as Troy in Los Angeles as a secretary. Misty has no sense of being a secretary at all. As she is now, she doesn't even think about pouring a cup of tea for people...
Watching Misty walk out with a swaggering and manly temperament, Kai felt that it seemed nothing unacceptable to transfer her to the criminal team. After all, which man doesn't want his secretary to be a big wavy blonde beauty?
Putting aside his wild thoughts, Kai asked the two lawyers to sit down. As a superior, he naturally has to clean up the mess caused by his subordinates.
When asking the two lawyers to sit down, Kai found out that the lawyer Matt Murdoch was actually a blind man. Although he was wearing sunglasses before, he saw that his movements were very natural and smooth, and he didn't think about it at all. Until he sat down and put away his sunglasses, Kai saw that he was a blind man.
The two lawyers made a deep impression on Kai at first, one was a little fat man and the other was a blind man.
As soon as the two sat down, the blind handsome lawyer Matt Murdoch couldn't wait to say: "We ask the police to contact the assistant prosecutor immediately to release our client! In this way, we will suggest that our lovely, media-loved client not publicize on TV and radio how she was almost killed in your custody."
Then the fat man named Fergie Nelson immediately said: "We will agree not to make any whining sounds in the next period of time, because I am very proud of the thought that we can file a civil lawsuit."
The little mouth is quite talkative. As soon as he opened his mouth, he came to ridicule the police.
Kai picked up a cigar from his desk and threw it to the fat man and his blind partner.
"Don't show off your rhetoric. I know what to do." Then he said to Pete and Mark, "I'll leave that prison guard to you. Any questions?"
The two of them knew that this was Kai's way of redeeming themselves, so they immediately promised, "Yes, sir. We must find out what's wrong with Farnum."
Farnham was the prison guard. This guy tried to strangle Karen Page last night. If that woman hadn't been smart enough to almost knock Farnum's eyeballs out, she might have succeeded. Coincidentally, when Farnum was doing it, all the surrounding surveillance cameras were broken.
If there was no ghost, no fool would believe it.
"Well, get out."
The two detectives immediately ran out to do their work. After doing all this, Kai looked at the two lawyers.
"Is this your first day as a lawyer?"
Matt Murdoch and Fergie Nelson looked at each other, and then Fergie Nelson said, "No."
Kai raised his eyebrows.
Then the other party continued, "It's the next day!"
This made Kai laugh: "No wonder."
Seeing that Kai seemed to be easy to get along with, Fergie couldn't help asking, "No wonder what?"
"No wonder, you are like two high school students who are picking up girls for the first time. As soon as you appear, you can't wait to show off your self-proclaimed humorous words. Especially when you are talking to a police chief." Lawyers need to deal with police officers for a long time. Generally speaking, they also have a certain pattern. For example, when talking to front-line police officers, they must show strength so that the other party will not think that lawyers are easy to bully, and thus take the initiative.
But for a senior police officer like Kai, any experienced lawyer would put away his edge. After all, if you have a good relationship with the senior police officers, you can get too many conveniences. On the contrary, if you really have an enemy with the senior police officers, you may face endless difficulties.
You must know that everyone is a law-abiding person. The police have too many ways to make things difficult for someone, and they can be reasonable and legal, making people suffer in silence.
So these two people came up and quarreled, and they completely chose the wrong target. They had no problem quarreling with Pete and the other two, but quarreling with Kai? Isn't this asking for trouble?
"I noticed that you rushed over immediately after Ms. Karen Page was brought to the police station yesterday. And you said that you became a formal lawyer only yesterday... How did you do it?" Kai smiled at the little fat man. As for why he didn't look at the blind handsome guy... Damn, he is blind, and there is no use looking at him, and others will not know that you are looking at him.
The little fat man is obviously not sophisticated enough, at least in terms of lying, and he sweated immediately.
"Tell the truth, little fat man."
"Well, I asked Brett to leak the information to us. After all, we need customers."
"Blake?" Kai immediately remembered who Blake was. In Kai's information, he was one of the few policemen in the 15th Precinct who was not stained by the mud. "He also accepted bribes?"
"No, no, no, we are all poor, I just gave him my treasured cigars."
"Cigars?" You know, cigars are not cheap. If Blake really accepted it, Kai would be really angry. It's so hard to find a few good people, but they were corrupted like this?
Matt heard Kai's dissatisfaction, and he immediately interrupted and said, "You misunderstood. Blake and we grew up together. The cigars were not for Blake, but for Beth. Oh, Beth is Blake's mother, we are very familiar with each other. She only has this hobby. I assure you that Blake is definitely a good policeman. He is the only policeman in the neighborhood who does not accept bribes."
The fat man Fergie also realized that the object of his bad mouth was the boss of Blake's boss!
And according to the news, the new chief is not a person who can tolerate any sand in the sand. He fired more than 30 corrupt policemen as soon as he took office, and was assassinated that afternoon. Then, more than a dozen policemen were sent to prison... He is definitely a role model for anti-corruption.
The nearby residents cannot say that they trust and love the new chief, but they also have certain expectations.
At least that's what Fergie and Matt think. If he thinks that Blake is also a corrupt policeman, it will really harm Blake. It's not easy to wait for a superior who may appreciate Blake. If this is ruined, Blake will come to them with a gun.
"Really?"
