Chapter 566: Mouth

After all, Michael is a senior agent of the CIA, and he has the support of the powerful CIA behind him, and Kerry's words are not difficult for him. He told Sù Kerry directly on the phone that the three agents had to be released immediately, or else they would expose CIA secrets. Kerry can't afford this responsibility!

Kerry is the chief of the Manhattan Police Department in New York, not the chief of police in China, and he certainly defends the interests of the United States when he talks and acts. It's just that Chen Guan's post last night caught him off guard, and after reading the license plate number published by Chen Guan's post on the Internet and in the newspapers, and the portraits of the three agents who were like real people, the police who handled the case arrested the three agents and the Humvee who were undertaking surveillance tasks near the rented residence of the Central Plains study class in the United States. By the time Kerry received the report, the three agents and the Humvee had already been taken to the police station.

The United States is a country with a very sound rule of law, the police have caught three agents, and the Humvee is ironclad evidence, so there is no possibility that Zài will secretly let them go. That's going to get a lawsuit!

Therefore, Kerry told Michael on the phone that it was impossible for him to order the release of the three agents, and that the Manhattan Police Department was now on the cusp of public opinion, and it was impossible for him to damage the honor and image of the Manhattan Police Department because of these three agents. However, if the three agents in the pre-trial can prove that they did not commit or attempted to commit the crime, they can be treated as a normal fight and brawl case. But the key is that the whistleblower can later forgive and not prosecute the Manhattan police. Otherwise, he can't help!

Kerry's meaning is very clear, that is, let Michael figure it out on his own!

After hanging up the phone, because things got a little complicated, Michael thought for a moment and reported it to his superiors.

Now that the information is transmitted so quickly, the heads and brains of the CIA have already known about the post of the shirt, and scolded Michael on the phone, asking him to immediately go to Manhattan Police Chief Kerry, and affirm that the three agents are carrying out the task of being a suspect in the death of Lu Bin, and they must be released, and the news of the arrest of the three agents must not be announced to the public, and the CIA agents must not expose the true situation of the CIA agents monitoring the Central Plains study class in the United States and Chen Guan, causing diplomatic disputes!

Michael was trained to be disgraced and had to drive to visit Manhattan Police Chief Kerry!

As soon as he arrived at the Manhattan police station, Michael knew why Kerry didn't let him go.

A group of reporters, carrying video cameras, holding cameras, microphones, and notebooks, are pestering Kerry in the reception room to interview him!

Michael, a high-ranking agent who did all the work of a hidden front, would not have been exposed to the media at all, and the reporters did not know him, so he was able to have Kerry called out of the reception room to the office and start talking.

This matter was actually very simple, saying that the three agents attempted to murder was only Chen Guan's words. The three operatives were all veterans of training, so naturally they would not admit that they had attempted to murder Chen Guan, and Chen Guan had not been hit or beaten, and he had no scars on his body at all. Even if the lawsuit goes to court, Chen Guan will lose the lawsuit. The problem is that judging from the available evidence, there is not only the Humvee reported by Chen Guan, but also the simulated portrait he painted, and everyone in the world knows that it is not Chen Guan who lies, but the CIA.

Chen Guan, as soon as he came up, occupied the moral high ground and put Michael's agents in a passive position.

Michael's reason for asking Kerry to release him is also very simple, that is, the three agents are not the murderers who attempted to commit the murder, but the agents who are on a mission to investigate the death of Lu Bin, and there is no question of Zài murder or attempted murder of Chen Guan. The reason why Chen Guan posted on the Internet was to confuse right and wrong, reverse black and white, and evade responsibility.

The United States is a country that is different from other countries, and a single Watergate scandal can lead to the removal of a president, not to mention that Kerry is just a Manhattan police chief?

Kerry also knew in his heart that this matter could not be investigated deeply, and if the investigation continued, the CIA would be involved, and not to mention the damage to the interests of the United States at that time, he himself might be in big trouble because of the CIA. However, if the investigation continues, the focus of public opinion is now focused on the Manhattan Police Department, waiting for them to give results and explanations, and a mistake may make him fall from power.

Kerry patiently told Michael: "Dear Michael, I understand your feelings and know the significance of the work you are doing for the security of the United States. The problem is that this is a troublesome matter, and there are so many reporters waiting in the reception room. If you want to release people, you have to explain to the reporters clearly that these three people are agents and not gangsters, they are just carrying out tasks, tracking and surveillance, and have no intention of murdering the Chinese policeman Chen Guan, this is just a misunderstanding! ”

Kerry said it very gently, and the meaning was very clear, that is, he had to explain it clearly to the reporters before he could be released.

Michael was simply reluctant to expose his agents, let alone their intentions to focus on spying on Chen.

Not to mention anything else, it is clear that the autopsy report of Columbia University School of Medicine has come out, and the conclusion is very clear, Lu Bin died a normal death, and the New York Police Department has not filed a case, why do CIA agents not believe the autopsy report of Columbia University, and why do they suspect that Chen Guan is being monitored?

If the American people know that the CIA suspects and spies on Chinese students without any basis, with the American nature of advocating freedom, Michael and the CIA will be notorious!

At this time, although the Internet has not been around for a long time, because the United States has relatively full freedom of speech, especially because President Nixon stepped down because of the Watergate scandal, all departments of the US government have already had a sense of crisis public relations, and they still have a set of experience in dealing with such things.

Michael immediately told Sù Kerry, saying that it could not be said that the three men were CIA agents, nor that they were on a mission to spy on Chen Guan, in that case, the CIA would lose face. The only way is to sue the reporters that the owner of the Hummer has been found, and the three people in the Hummer have been found, but they flatly denied that they had ever hit Chen Guan, let alone murdered Chen Guan. Because it was a rainy day, pouring rain, and there was no other evidence, Chen Guan alone could not file a case for investigation, let alone arrest people because of this. Because the evidence is insufficient!

Although Michael's statement is a scoundrel, it is in line with the spirit of American law!

When Kerry saw that Michael said one set of things, that is, he was unwilling to tell the truth to reporters and the public, and he despised him a little in his heart, but he had to find a way for him.

Kerry said that if Michael insisted on taking the three agents away, it would not be impossible, and he would have to ask the lawyer to come forward, pay a guarantee, bail the three agents out, and then issue a lawyer's statement, accusing Chen Guan of making up nothing, fabricating facts, infringing on the three agents' right to reputation, and fighting a lawsuit with him. That way, the journalists can go to court and wait for the outcome of the lawsuit.

Speaking of which, Kerry still doesn't want to order three agents himself!

Michael was annoyed and said that Kerry was playing with the CIA, which was defending the security interests of the United States. Who did the CIA fight against? Who does the CIA need to fight a lawsuit with? If you don't say it, you must release people unconditionally! Otherwise, we'll see!

Michael: This is threatening Kerry, and it is a naked threat!

CIA agents infiltrate and are active all over the world, in addition to Wen's hand, there is also Wu's hand, which is really two-handed, both hands are hard! Not to mention one person, even the governments of some countries, the CIA has planned to subvert a lot! The drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe are proof of this, not to mention the small countries of Africa.

Under Michael's threats, Manhattan Police Chief Kerry softened!

Although Kerry softened, he still told Michael, this matter is too big, it is not enough to say it, and he must think of reconciliation with Chen Guan. Otherwise, Chen Guan could draw the portraits of the three agents with a single photo, and a post hyped the matter into the focus of media attention, maybe he had other powerful tricks to follow. When the time comes, maybe it will be difficult for Michael to cover it up, and it may be even more embarrassing!

This is indeed worth thinking about Michael! 、

Michael replied that he would report to his superiors, study the matter carefully, and try not to let it go any further!

Kerry called the New York City Police Commissioner for instructions, reported Michael's attitude and requests, and asked for instructions.

The New York Police Chief had no clear instructions for Kerry to do as he pleased. The implication couldn't be more obvious: I didn't want to offend the CIA, and I didn't want to wade into troubled waters.

Kerry, who did not know the essentials, thought about it for a while, but still ordered the release of Michael's three agents, explaining to reporters that after the police questioned the three parties, all of them denied Chen Guan's accusations. Aside from the simulated portraits of the three men provided by Chen Guan and the Humvee they were riding, there is no other evidence to prove that the three men actually had any physical or other conflicts with Chen Guan. Therefore, the murder theory cannot be established!

Kerry told reporters that the United States is a country governed by the rule of law, and everything is based on evidence. If there is no evidence for accusations, the police cannot file a case casually, let alone arrest people casually, which violates the spirit of American law and infringes on the rights of the parties.

The reporters were immediately confused and asked to interview the three captured agents.

Kerry's answer was to protect his personal privacy and not allow the reporters to meet with the three parties. If reporters want to interview the subject, it is the freedom of the journalist, but the Manhattan police have no power or obligation to compel the three parties to be interviewed!

As for the identities and addresses of the three agents, Kerry rejected them with the phrase of "protecting personal privacy".

In this way, Michael led his three agents quietly out of the Manhattan police station.

The angry reporters saw the faces of the American police officers thoroughly, carrying cameras and holding cameras, and took pictures of the Manhattan Police Department office to the fullest.
