Chapter 380: Direction
Boston, USA, at the home of a senior police commissioner.
A middle-aged man in pajamas sat on the sofa, "Well, I sent someone to review all the clues, but I didn't find any clues pointing to Titan." Aiden, can you sue me why the prosecutor's office is interested in this case again?"
The room was quiet, so the voice on the other side of the phone could be heard clearly: "Lusa, actually, I don't want to be interested, but you also know that there are some external experts in the police system who are people from Titan, and I have 20% of the supplementary investigations in this quarter for them to do." When I heard the rumors that the case was related to them, I asked them to turn away, but at the time I had some suspicions that someone had deliberately released this news to interfere with the investigation. With the resources in your hands alone, you really didn't find any clues, and this case could only be closed in the end. You know, although the deaths are all drug dealers, but it is also a big case of more than 40 lives, how much effort did my office spend in order to prevent B from intervening in this case?"
Lusa's face flushed, fortunately he was now in his own study, and the prosecutor he had known since he was a police detective was on the other side of the phone, and the nearly thirty years of fighting friendship between the two of them, and saying these complaints in private did not make him angry, so Luthor hummed a few times, indicating that he understood.
Aiden on the other side of the phone knew that he shouldn't have told Lusa about this, and that the lack of resources at the hands of the police was not his problem - after the wine demon, anti-terrorism has become a card that every politician will play, and politicians will increase the anti-terrorism budget when they come to power, and the funding will be easily approved. The problem is that when government revenues remain the same or even slightly decrease, once the investment in counter-terrorism increases, the budget for other areas decreases. The police have not updated their technical equipment for a long time, and the addition and renewal of forensic equipment is even further behind.
If it weren't for this reason, Titan wouldn't have been so easy to have such a good relationship with the police and the judiciary - although Titan lost people are more expensive and add new equipment, but lost people can reduce the capital investment and difficulty of the investigation during judicial investigations, and more importantly, Titan's technicians are not included in the establishment of government employees!
What's more, the Lost System can play a big role in counter-terrorism and law and order, so the Lost System is funded by the anti-terrorism budget, which makes it a lot easier for everyone. ↙dǐng↙diǎn↙ small ↙ talk, .2≮3.£os_(); In practice, some police officers even think that the lost person should be equipped with a set of each police car, which can even eliminate the cost of body armor......
In addition, the personality of Titan employees is also easily accepted. Titan's employees are of German descent, and they work with a clear eye and no room for error, and some people in the United States may complain about their style, but in the judicial and policing systems, such serious and pragmatic external experts who strictly adhere to professional discipline and professional ethics are quite rare, so they have won unanimous praise from those involved.
And after work, these people in Titan are not rigid, they often drink and eat with the police officers and prosecutor's office staff who work together to participate in par, of course, they also have a special diǎn, that is, whenever possible, they will definitely go home before twelve diǎn in the middle of the night, although sometimes it will make people feel a little disappointed, but after many times, they still gain the favor and respect of many people, and no one will feel bad about being friends and colleagues with such people. Oh, by the way, the people of Titan are generally blonde and white, which also adds a lot of points.
And the district attorney Aiden and the police superintendent Lusa are one of the people who have a good impression of Titan, the previous case of the murder of drug dealers has just come out, from the perspective of their level, both of them actually want to find out what is going on, and the police officers who are specifically responsible for the investigation below are a little reluctant, after all, cases involving drug dealers are likely to be done by another group of people, and it is difficult to find out the results of such cases, and those who can find out the results have been adapted into TV series and movies- That is to say, there are relatively few cases that can be investigated, and it is easy for the media to take a fancy to them.
The officers were not motivated, and both Aiden and Lusa thought of getting in touch with the prosecutor's office a few months ago to expand their business into pre-crime investigations.
In fact, Phoebe didn't think of such a business at first, but in the detection of a criminal case, because the suspect has been planning for a long time and referred to many anti-investigation methods in film and television dramas, the entire criminal process has evolved into an extremely complex one, and there are unimaginably many clues left to the police at the scene, which makes the process of detecting and determining the nature of the case extremely difficult.
In this case, where only two people died, the police actually pursued three main clues and found four main suspects, and it was difficult to completely eliminate suspicions.
At this time, a Titan technician proposed to use the lost person system to re-enact the crime, and the result was a realistic re-enactment, so that the police and assistant prosecutors found that the three main clues were actually somewhat unreasonable, and the real murderer was someone else. So they finally found the real murderer, and the prosecutor reenacted the crime process with the help of three-dimensional projection during the trial, which allowed the jury to completely exclude the evidence that the murderer laid out when committing the crime to confuse the police and convict the murderer.
It is worth mentioning that the defendant's lawyer has more than once filed a motion with the court to exclude the use of the lost system for the repetition of the course of the crime. The judge is well aware that once he excludes the lost person system for a repeat, it will inevitably lead to the use of lost people in other courts will also be banned, and if it were that simple, this judge would be inclined to support the motion of the defendant's lawyer. After all, although the function of the lost person system is not disclosed, he knows that once the lost person is used to frame someone, then that person will definitely have a hard time arguing.
But the judge, after seeing the three-dimensional projection played during the trial, knew full well that the case was definitely done by the defendant, and if the recurrence of the lost person was excluded, the evidence for the prosecution of the defendant would be too weak, and the prosecutor's office would have to prosecute the other four defendants who did not kill at all, or the case in which the two people were killed would never have enough evidence to prosecute. The judge also knew that the evidence against the four men was impeccable, that the murderer had planned too well in advance, and that if he had denied the lost in order to defend the rights of the citizens and the Constitution, the unfair treatment faced by the four innocent people was unimaginable, and this was a responsibility that he was unwilling to bear in any case.
It was from that time that Titan's relationship with the district attorney's office became intimate. From time to time, the prosecutor's office would ask Titan's technicians to participate in their rediscovery and examination of evidence, and the police were naturally not happy with the prosecutor's occupation of their experts, so after a few times, the prosecutor's office asked Titan to purchase a lost system and arrange for special technical personnel.
Phoebe naturally agreed to this, and the relationship with the prosecutor's office was good, which could reduce a lot of trouble, so Phoebe simply set up a separate forensic verification room to serve the prosecutor's case.
In addition, the Marshall Project, also known as the federal witness protection program, also became interested in the lost person system after this case......
In fact, if someone can stand at a certain height and take a closer look, they will find that the middle and upper structure of the United States has been "eroded" by Titan. And it took Phoebe less than a year to do this—a country of freedom is a good place.
Because of this, the attitude of the prosecutor's office and the police towards Titan can be said to be quite cordial, and when the prosecutor's office ordered the withdrawal of Titan's technical personnel during the last rumor investigation, the police and the specific managers of the prosecutor's office were very dissatisfied, because they felt that it was an insult to people who work hard.
From this prospect, we can see the attitude of the specific handling personnel, and Prosecutor Aiden continued: "Recently, I heard that Titan has organized many family members of drug addicts to file civil compensation lawsuits against some drug dealers, although I feel that they have a strong sense of justice, but I still support this approach. Although I don't know why Titan did this and whether he could protect those families afterwards, this incident has caused the entire judicial system to pay attention, the official drug ban has gone for nearly half a century, but the United States has become a drug kingdom, and now some people are trying to sanction drug traffickers from the perspective of civil compensation, and many people hope for a good result. Even if that was really done by Titan, I hope you can eliminate all the evidence against them, so that the drug dealer's lawyer won't take out this rumor and affect the jury's judgment at the trial. ”
After hearing this, Lusa was relieved and said: "Then I understand, no wonder you were a little vague when you asked to reopen the investigation a few days ago, it turned out that you were worried that someone would question the fairness of the investigation." ”
"Well, indeed. ”
Lusa shook his head and said: "Hey, Aiden, you underestimate me too much, and I quite support Titan's approach, which is to sue those drug dealers for bankruptcy and put them on the list of restricted living conditions, so that even if there is no way to deal with their criminal charges, the issue of civil compensation gives our police an excuse to intervene in their activities, to be honest, Titan has done a really good job." ”
"Well, when you think about the two verdicts in Simpson's wife-killing case, we should have thought of using civil lawsuits to crack down on drug dealers. ”
Lusa smiled again: "Okay, I understand, I will give my subordinates proper guidance, but to be honest, I think the people of Titan like to solve problems through legal means, and that case should not be done by them." ”
"It's useless what we think in court, and the evidence can represent a qiē. Okay, old friend, this matter depends on you, I'll hang up. ”
"Well, good night......" Lusa ended the call, squinting at his glass of ice and whiskey.
After a while, Lusa drank his wine, stood up and lazy, then shook his head and muttered, "No police will investigate ......Enceladus?"
Lusa's instincts told him that Titan must have been implicated in the murder of the drug dealer, but Titan's African food aid program has given police departments in many cities a chance not to have to lay off staff in large numbers, so as long as Titan is involved, police departments everywhere will not actually make the effort to investigate.
Although Lusa knew that this was wrong, but at a time when the economic crisis was bothering everyone, Titan did not harass ordinary people, so everyone turned a blind eye.
What's more, the police feel that B's intention is very obvious, they want to crack down on Titan, which provides extra income to the police. B Yes, the funding comes from the U.S. fiscal revenue, and the state police are funded by the taxes of the states or their respective cities, and the economic crisis has caused the states to plummet their revenues, forcing everyone to lay off staff as the main way to respond. In order to make the police work hard in finding these veterans, Titan proposed a plan for these veterans to go to Africa, and the police officers in the cities where they are located are responsible for the command, and Titan is responsible for the allowances and salaries of the police officers in Africa.
Titan's approach naturally makes B, who has jurisdictional disputes with the police in various places, look unpleasant, and the police actually know that B will definitely point fingers at this matter, but Titan's approach is open and fair, and the Pentagon and Langley are involved in this matter, not to mention the families of veterans who have strict zhòngps are very grateful to Titan's approach, so B can't stop it at all.
Moreover, when fighting with Titan before, B planted a big heel, and the two sides reached an agreement that they would no longer be hostile to each other, and B actually didn't have a very good reason to target Titan, and now there is a case where many people died, how could B not seize the opportunity?
However, what B absolutely did not expect was that this case was not only the police in various places, because it was not only the drug dealers who were killed, but also the relatives of the drug dealers, so that there was no family of the victim in this case, which made no prosecutor willing to file a case, because there was no family of the victim, and there was no evidence in this case, and no grand jury would support the prosecution.
And not only that, when B was fighting for jurisdiction over this case, he was blocked by the Boston Prosecutor's Office, so to speak, everyone can see that B wants to take the opportunity to engage in Titan's intentions, which makes them have to return home.
However, because of this, the prosecutor in Boston had to let the police start investigating this case without clues, so as not to make trouble again one day.
Lusa felt that he should find something to do for B, lest they want to do something to everyone's lifesaver again - Lusa can't be blamed for favoring Titan, in addition to Titan's good relationship with the police, the African Food Aid Project also has a good reputation, and the program also includes psychotherapy for veterans, so most people don't want to believe that Titan would do such a cold-blooded case.
Lusa hadn't come up with a good solution yet, and suddenly heard a movement on the second floor of the house, he knew that it was his wife who saw that he hadn't gone upstairs to sleep, and came to see what was going on......
