It's a serious reception, one that's going on in the mayor's building in New York. Although there really isn't anything to eat or drink at this public expense party, it still has a lot of people. And basically they are high-ranking police officials, government officials, and successful people from all walks of life.

As an important figure in New York City, although Frank is not as popular as the mayor here, he is still surrounded by a few friends from both political and business circles who know each other well.

While everyone was toasting and talking, and when they were exchanging friendly ideas, Frank's secretary, who everyone knew, came to Frank's side, and then began to whisper something close to Frank's ear, and then Frank's originally smiling face began to become serious.

This made a scene that made many people curious, so many people watched it intentionally or unintentionally. Something related to the chief of the New York City Police Department, and it is also the kind of thing that makes the chief of the New York City Police look unkind, I believe that many people have quietly wondered in their hearts.

After the secretary finished reporting, Frank was gloomy for a long time.

Frank, "Is it decided?"

The secretary nodded.

Frank thought for a moment, then regained the smile on his face and explained to the secretary in words that everyone could hear.

Frank, "Tell him I'm so sorry. According to the discipline of the New York City police, we police executives will not and should not interfere with the work of grassroots police officers. So, I can't say yes. ”

The secretary seemed to have some concerns, "Director ......"

"Don't think too much about it! The police are a disciplined force, and if there is no discipline and rules, and the top brass can do whatever they want, then it is no longer the New York City Police Force." That's just a personal warlord army. The more senior we are in the Force, the more we must respect and maintain discipline. That's why we exist. So, please tell him that I can't help it. Others would have the same answer if they called like this again. Got it?"

The secretary replied loudly, "Yes, Director!"

The secretary retreated, and several other people looked at him inquiringly, but Frank didn't seem to have any idea of explaining, just continued to follow the original topic for a friendly discussion in his own small circle.

Soon, some of the people standing with Frank either received their phones and left, or were called away. After that, most of them walked back to the discussion group with ugly faces. Although after this little left, the person who was called out would always want to say something to Frank from time to time, because of Frank's serious expression of his secretary before, no one said anything in the end.

But a small piece of news has begun to spread widely that the NYPD has suddenly intervened in a criminal case that may involve a high-ranking call girl with many big names. This means that if one is not careful, the special privacy of many big people will be accidentally exposed. If that happens, there will be an earthquake in all the political and business circles of the entire city of New York.

In this society, who doesn't have one or two little secrets that they don't want others to know? The same is true for big people.

…………………………

It belongs to Jim's apartment, a senior agent manager, and there are really a lot of police officers and detectives working here. Private filing cabinets and safes were opened, and then documents were found from the filing cabinets and computers.

It's a race against time, because at the same time here, there have already been some phone calls coming in, asking for a pause in the behavior, or pleading for this matter, asking to let this place go. However, due to the pressure on Frank, all the detectives are still required to work here and look for clues here.

It's a very, very secret place, mostly related to Jim's special profession. But the case with which Daniel is now tracking is of little significance. Just as Daniel began to wonder if he could find what he was looking for here, Henry smiled and walked up to Daniel with a box of papers.

Daniel, "What's new?"

Henry, "Yes, the Great Discovery! I found out from our lovely Mr. Jim that Miss Daniel Nylis's assets have been Mr. Jim's personal assets for the last three or four years. ”

That's exactly what Daniel was really looking for. It's not the kind of important evidence that can prove direct killing, but it's very, very useful enough!

Daniel finally relented and laughed, "This is an important discovery!"

Henry, "Yes, it looks like our Mr. Jim has to explain something to us. He knew Daniel Neerys, and the matter was easy to explain. He didn't want to call the police, so he told the police Miss Daniel Nelis's information, which was easy to explain. But Miss Daniel Nices' assets have now become his, and Daniel Nellis has unfortunately died. It's hard to explain. ”

Daniel, "Looks like we can have our first more formal exchange with our Mr. Jim." ”

Henry, "Yes, I'm sure he's been looking forward to this official meeting for a long time!"

…………………………

In Du Pingping's dormitory, Du Pingping is sitting at his desk, constantly studying the relevant information in the computer. A figure came to him with a jug and refilled his glass. Du Ping looked back and saw that it was Mary.

"You haven't left yet?"

In Du Ping's memory, Mary came in the afternoon, and after some exchanges between the two, she threw herself into her own work, and she had long thought that Mary must have left by herself as before. I didn't expect it to be here now.

I looked, and it was already dark outside.

"It seems to be late. ”

Mary, "I didn't expect you to work like this. I still think that detective work is a very exciting and interesting job, but I didn't expect to see you constantly researching materials, which is very boring and boring!"

"Do you want to see how I work?"

Mary, "Actually, I was sleepy and fell asleep in bed. When you wake up, you don't want to get out of bed, and then you just watch you at work. ”

Du Ping thought about it, and felt that what Mary said now should be the truth, because Du Ping didn't feel that there were people walking around in his room before, so Mary may indeed be ignored by herself because she was sleeping in her own bed!

This explanation made Du Ping's mood relax a lot, so he patiently explained his own work for Mary.

"Every detective's working method is different, and the detection method of each incident may be different. As in the case of the current case, we can't stand out. I can only secretly help my friends with the police and find out from there. So with us, it's more about the analysis and thinking of information. Moreover, you also know that your incident is troublesome and dangerous. In fact, many big names have been alarmed now, so we have to be more careful, and we have to think and scrutinize it repeatedly. ”

Mary, "Thank you!"

Du Fair, "Huh?"

Du Ping didn't seem to expect Mary to say words of thanks, so he was a little stunned.

Mary thanked again, "Thank you for your sincere help! No matter what the final outcome of this matter, we will thank you for your sincere help!"

Du Ping looked at Mary, "You seem to have something on your mind." ”

Mary, "Are we friends?"

Du Fair, "Yes. ”

Mary, "Will you look down on us?"

Du fair, "No. ”

Mary, "Thank you! Actually, I've been regretting it lately. Regret the original decision, the original impulse. It was this decision, this impulse, that I got into this line of work. I didn't expect that in the end, I was in trouble, and I couldn't get out if I wanted to. ”

Du Pingping, "There is an old saying in the East that what you gain must lose." Since you have gained something that you should not have gained, you will inevitably lose something that you cherished. ”

Mary, "That's right! Now when I think of my peaceful and boring life, I realize how beautiful it was." I miss my dad and mom anymore, but I don't dare go back. I was afraid of putting them in danger, and even all the while, I didn't dare to call them. I'm sure they'll miss me so much right now. ”

Du Ping sighed, "Things will work out." ”

Mary, "Thank you for your relief! Actually, I know that this is not easy. And you don't owe us anything. You're a good guy!"

Du Ping blushed a little, "Actually, ......"

Mary, "You don't have to say it! I understand. In the Oriental tradition, men always want to protect the women with whom they are in a relationship. It's just that we're not as good as you think. We're not good women!"

Du Pingping originally wanted to explain to her that there was actually a reason why he needed to help Regan's family in this matter. I didn't expect Mary to understand the whole thing wrongly.

Du Pingping, "This matter is actually what I want to do to my detective friend." ”

Mary, "I understand. ”

"What do you understand?"

Mary, "Your detective friend took over this case from someone else, right? The rules of the police are actually a little bit the same as ours in some ways, whoever is a guest is a guest, and it can't be transferred." So, I believe you owe you a huge favor to your detective friend for our business, right? I understand, you won't say it, and I understand. ”

Du Ping, "Not as ...... as you think"

Mary gently and gently covered Du Fair's mouth, then lowered her head and gently kissed Du Fair's lips.

Mary, "I'll always be yours for as long as you want." ”

Du Ping immediately had the feeling of being severely defeated. Because Mary is not on the same channel with herself at all, she has completely fallen into a beautiful and touching story woven by her own heart, pure to kindness!

Du Ping was thinking about how to really talk to Mary about the situation, so as not to make Mary too grateful to herself. Right here, on the side of my bed, under the pile of quilts, suddenly another person came out. A naked person was none other than Lucy, who was terrified and had a headache.

To be honest, Du Ping is very wary of this Lucy, who doesn't know when she will become ill. Subconsciously, Lucy is definitely the dangerous fearful animal that should never be easily put in her own home. So Lucy suddenly appeared, and Du Ping immediately became highly vigilant.

"Why are you here?"

Lucy didn't answer Du Ping's question, but didn't mind standing naked on the other side of Du Ping's body. On this side of Du Ping's side was now Mary, and Lucy was on the side that was symmetrical to Mary.

Lucy, "Me too!"

Lucy expressed the same thing as Mary just now: I will always be yours for as long as you want. But Du Ping was more concerned that Lucy should not be in his room, because when Mary came in the afternoon, Lucy did not come with her. And here Lucy suddenly appeared, that is, she must not have noticed any dangerous situation when she was working seriously.

Du Ping was shocked, "How did you get here?"

Lucy covered Du's mouth and smiled mischievously at Du.

Lucy, "It was a very exciting night! ”

…………………………

In the police interrogation room, Daniel and Henry sat across from Jim and the lawyer with a smile on their faces, and the long-overdue meeting between the two parties began.

Daniel pushes the stack of papers with a smile and politeness, and Daniel opens the files for Jim, the suspect on the other side, and takes out a picture of a beautiful girl from it and puts it in front of Jim.

Daniel, "Let's start here, dear Mr. Jim? You should know this girl, right?"

Jim didn't answer, just looked at the photo and turned to look at Mike, the lawyer on the side. Jim didn't answer because he also knew about the photo and was in trouble with the woman in the picture. Because she is the heroine of the recently hot wall-hidden corpse case: Daniel Nelis. The most important thing is that he still knows her, and he still has some small financial entanglements with her.

Jim's gaze actually has an important meaning: Jim doesn't want to answer the question. So ask Mike to help him avoid this question.

Mike received the news and got to work.

Mike, "My client, there's no need to answer this question!"

Daniel shook his head and helped them flip through a few more pages of the file, pointing to one of them.

Daniel, "If you can take a slightly closer look at the material that we have provided, you will find that this document can prove it. Your client, in these 3-4 years, has planned, step-by-step and efficiently turned this lady's assets into his personal assets. So, as a top lawyer, do you still think that your client doesn't need to answer the police's questions?"

Mike quickly took the document and after a quick glance, his face immediately turned ugly. Pushing the file to the side in front of Jim.

Mike, "Is this document real?"

Jim nodded helplessly. Michael glared at Jim hatefully, then looked up at Daniel and Henry.

Mike, "My client and I need a little bit of private time, no problem, right? ”

Daniel, "No problem. ”

Daniel retrieved the papers he had placed on the table and walked out of the interrogation room with Henry.

…………………………

In Frank's office, Charles, the deputy commissioner at his desk, was looking at Frank anxiously, while Frank was reviewing the documents on his desk as if he didn't know.

Today is really a lively day, not here in Frank, here in Charles. There have been a lot of calls from big people and good friends who have to answer them one after another.

Charles had been sitting here for a long time, but Charles's best friend Frank still seemed to be working hard. Charles didn't believe that Frank didn't know what he was here for, so he finally got angry and finally decided to cut Frank off.

Charles, "Frank!"

Charles shouted at Frank with some anger. This made Frank look up at him and give him a huge smile.

Frank, "Charles, my dear friend. What's wrong with you?"

Charles put a document in front of Frank, and many names were densely written on it.

Charles, "Frank, this is no small matter! a mishandled one, we will be the enemy of all!"

Frank didn't look at and think about all the names on the document as Charles had hoped. Just the face calmly closed it. He looked at Charles with a smile.

Frank, "Charles, although I am the chief of police, I still have to strictly follow the rules! I will not interfere in the following matters, this is the principle. Basic principles of the police department. ”

Charles, "But this could be a huge disservice to the police department." ”

"There's no way! Who calls us police? Just as front-line police officers can be in danger of dying at any moment, we are in danger." It's like the front line can't avoid it, and can't refuse its own responsibility. We can't shy away from it, we can't refuse our responsibility! Charles, please remember the oath we took when we graduated from the police academy. That's important! If we forget it, none of us can be a real police officer. Although we have a lot of power, we are policemen, we are not politicians. We don't have to please anyone, we just stick to our principles and our vows. ”

Charles, "But, Frank!"

"I know! It's a huge test for the New York police force. I'd rather I fail, and I can't give up the spirit and principles that have been passed down from generation to generation and belong to the police department. Trust me, Charles. This is really important! If we lose it, we will no longer be us. ”

Charles, "Frank." ”

Frank, "What's wrong?"

Charles, "I'll always stand with you!"

Charles's sudden words first made Frank slightly stunned, and then Frank showed his rare sincere and huge smile, and showed it to his friend and partner Charles.

Frank, "Thank you!"
