Chapter 1130 (1/2)
”I'm going. I'll see you in the evening.” Li Zitao kisses his wife, takes Dan's coat and hangs it on his arm to leave.
”Sir, someone is coming.” ”It's the director, James Franks,” frandy whispered, closing his hand to his mouth
”Oh?” Unexpectedly, he looked at his wife. Li returned his coat to Dan and said, ”please come to the reception room.”
”James, what made you come here in person?” Li Zitao was really surprised to see James.
When the police system was reformed, he should now be called the ”chief of police,” the head of the New York City police force.
”I've visited since you moved to New York.” James put the gift on the table, a simple bottle of red wine.
”From Bordeaux.” James didn't say the price, coming from Bordeaux is already very valuable for him. Besides, 200 and 20000 are no different from each other.
James is a good policeman. He has been a policeman for 24 years. He is a tough cowboy and a smooth but stubborn representative of the old school style.
”Thank you. No offense, but it's too expensive for you. Can I refund it?” Li Zitao picked up the red wine and looked at it.
James's job is not very high. In addition, he has to support four children. His burden is very heavy. A bottle of $97 red wine is too luxurious for him.
”It was bought with your money Special bonus. ” James points to the red wine and laughs.
The special bonus, a welfare of the police union, was set up by Mary and several charity celebrities from the upper east and upper west districts.
After listening to him, Li Zitao handed the wine to Dan, motioned him to put it away, drew out a cigar and handed it to him, saying, ”tell me what you're coming for.”
”I'm here for help.” James put the cigar in front of the tip of his nose and sniffed it, then put it in his mouth and turned it around. Then he took out a piece of incense and lit it.
”Are you in trouble? The new mayor wants to replace himself? ” As a newly appointed police chief, Li Zitao couldn't think of anything else to ask for help in addition to his own problems.
”Lower East side, we want to solve this problem.”
”We? Who are we? ”
”The town hall, the police, the district attorney general's office are all ready.”
Hearing this, Li Zitao was surprised and said, ”that's it. Who can stop the city's public organization, the largest armed gang operation in New York? It's a joke
”Charlie, the situation in the lower east side is very complicated. If the former hell kitchen was a paradise for villains and gangsters, the lower east side was the cradle of crime,
the communities there were all criminal families, and they would not give the police any cooperation and intelligence, let alone cooperate. After my men went in, the only things that came out of the window were wine bottles and rotten vegetable leaves. We couldn't even find the people we wanted to catch. Because their relatives, their parents, their brotherhood, they're filling the hallway and no one can get through
”Don't tell me, they also need to obey the rules.” The police are very violent these days. It's normal to bring people back to the police station for reasons like batons and non lethal attacks, and then come out with bruises on their faces.
No one will listen to their stories when they complain or report them. They will just laugh and say, ”call again when the dead are dead.”
Otherwise, how can the antagonism between the bottom society and the police come from in the future.
”What should I do, hold tens of thousands of people in prison, and turn the Lower East District into a ghost city?” James is hard to do, or he wouldn't be sitting here.
