Chapter XXVIII
In the hospital room, Chekov was lying alone on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze, the corners of his mouth grinning upward, like a child who had been fulfilled was reminiscing about the pleasure he had just had, completely ignoring all the sounds coming from the television screen in front of the hospital bed.
The weekend peeked at the little nurse who happened to walk through the crack in the door of the ward, the blue uniform and white hat were far more real than the women who scratched their heads in some 'situational life movies', especially the hot body...... Alas...... He had just fallen into a state of mind that he could not speak to outsiders in the direction he was looking at, when the nurse disappeared in a hurry to the other end of the door frame, the other end of the wall that he could not see.
"Week." Chekov still looked at the ceiling and said, "Thank you for letting me experience a feeling I haven't experienced in seven years." By the way, how do you know where the shot is? β
Looking at the wall, Weekend rolled his eyes resentfully: "Thank you, the drug-dealer-, I just hid in the corner and watched a movie without a ticket." He looked at Chekov's satisfied expression and explained: "I just told Matthew the address where Hernandez was hiding as soon as the two of us signed the waiver contract, and then Matthew gave the order to arrest Hernandez, and we happened to hear gunshots when we left the police station, and the New Mexico district is not very far from the police station, understand?" β
Chekov silently reached out with his left fist intact, and the bear was thankful not for the thrill of the fight, but for the non-existent and problematic clause of the waiver contract. It's just that he doesn't think this matter should be said.
At that time, Weekend raised his fist and lightly bumped into it.
He never asked why he put his name in the waiver contract on the weekend. Just made a promise: "Next time." Ran into Adam and handed it directly to me. β
Hear this. Weekend shook his head and said, "If I had a partner like you at that time, Adam wouldn't have died." β
Chekov didn't understand, and he didn't need to.
At this time, the picture of the TV set turned into a live news room, and the host told in a calm manner in front of the camera: "The Los Angeles authorities have been questioned by the media due to the frequent recent vicious cases, but this time, Deputy Chief Matthew has proved the ability of the police under great pressure." This evening, Deputy Chief Matthew led the Detective Bureau to crack the biggest case of the year, the drug case. I was already shocked by the rampant rampant drug dealers who had hidden nearly a ton of methamphetamine in the basement of a Mexican restaurant. In the course of the drug seizure, the police were resisted by drug traffickers, and one detective was killed in the line of duty, and another detective and a patrol officer were taken to the hospital. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you the names of these valiant defenders, for their safety and that of their families. β
Weekend turned to the TV.
The TV screen was transferred to the scene report, at that time the scene has been completely illuminated by several huge lights of the police, the forensic department and the forensic doctor frequently shuttle between the scene, and the female location host holding the microphone in the camera walks into the scene at this second.
"Hello everyone, I'm Shirley......"
The female reporter didn't wait to finish. The roar of the scene was heard: "Who asked the reporter to report on the scene?" β
The cameraman cleverly turned the camera, and the moment Matthew appeared on the TV screen, he angrily scolded: "Turn off your damn machine!" It's a ton of poison! Drug dealers will take revenge on every cop who appears on camera for these things. If any accident happens to my people after this news is broadcast, I will be the first to arrest you, you are the murderers!! β
"SIR, we admire your contributions to Los Angeles, but you can't interfere with press freedom." The female location host tried her best to explain.
βWhatοΌβ Matthew glared at the reporter angrily: "Pablo, arrest these two bastards for me and sue them for obstructing official business!" β
Matthew didn't even bother to speak, turned around and walked back to the scene of the crime.
This is Matthew's war against the media, he wants to win back the trust of the Los Angeles people, but also to tell the entire LAPD that he Matthew is not afraid of the media and will not let any police officer endure any grievances in a free speech world.
This is the end of the exterior picture, the host in the news live broadcast room changed his usual calm attitude, and said respectfully: "This is the picture brought back by the location host from the police station, after communication, we did not have the face of any police officer in the camera, it must be admitted that we have obvious mistakes in this interview, hereby, solemnly apologize to the Los Angeles Police Department and all the police officers who serve Los Angeles." Please understand us that the reason we broadcast these images is to deter evil, not to put police officers at risk. β
High!
After watching this news over the weekend, he knew that the police department would definitely not prosecute the location host and videographer, and Matthew wanted to regain the face lost by the Los Angeles Police Department through this means.
It is impossible for such a big case not to attract reporters, and when Matthew says something casually, there will be a reason to arrest the reporter from the perspective of absolute justice, in this case, Matthew cannot be blamed by public opinion, even if he did not negotiate with the reporter at all whether to put a mosaic for the police officers during the broadcast, because in the current environment, all police are heroes, which will make the public not guess that this is just a trap laid by Matthew.
In order to resolve the misunderstanding between the two sides, the media will definitely communicate with the authorities, otherwise they will become stinky shit for the police to be snatched by drug dealers, and the media knows the power of public opinion best, and it is impossible to bow their heads at the moment. Then don't blame Matthew for being unforgiving, how you stepped on the police station at the beginning must be made clear, since you know that you are wrong, it is also necessary to show some sincerity, if you want the police department and the media to be your own people again, and avoid letting the media become a-stirring stick spurned by the citizens of Los Angeles, you have to apologize to the police, and you have to publicize some positive things.
Now the police station has face, the police are angry, and a major case of nearly a ton of drugs has been solved...... Matthew obeyed the media in front of the uncle!
He slammed the other party's head and slapped all the media, didn't you say that the police were incompetent? In the future, the media that surrender to the police will continue to break out all kinds of news in favor of the police, such as. The arrest of Nicholas' son Arturo, Hernandez Vofa, and the New Mexico District have taken a heavy blow after grasping the confessions of these two men, destroying several criminal gangs made up of illegal Mexican immigrants......
When this piece of news was broken. No one knows if Matthew had a quid pro quo with the media. What the public saw was that the deputy chief of the Los Angeles Police Department became the savior of the whole of Los Angeles.
Look at what people are playing!
"He's in the limelight again." Chekov stared at the TV and said this motionlessly.
Weekend looked at the Russian brown bear strangely and said, "Why do you hate Matthew so much?" Isn't he the most reputable deputy commissioner in the police department? β
"Would you appreciate a man who would be grateful if he had been ashamed of you by repeating what had already made you ashamed after you had made trouble, and then telling you how naΓ―ve you were in that situation?"
It was only now that Chekov had his first heart-to-heart with the weekend.
Actually, the weekend can understand Chekov, during the rebellious period, who did not resent under the severe accusations of his father? Matthew is so powerful that he can keep you in the middle of a rebellious period forever. Because it is impossible to have Matthew's experience at the age of the weekend and Chekov, even if he lives two lifetimes on the weekend. When you finally get through the years, if Matthew can still live well, people have already seen through all this, and the gap between him and Chekov will always be separated by levels, which is a distance that cannot be caught up.
"Who can not be naΓ―ve in his presence?" It's impossible to get involved in their family conflicts over the weekend, and neither provoking the bear nor Matthew will do him any good.
Therefore, he sighed and quickly changed the topic: "Deed, call your wife quickly." β
"What? I don't want her to know that I'm waiting for the results of the test in the hospital, but I don't have anything wrong with my shoulder......"
"I don't care if you're hurt or not." Weekend said eagerly: "Do you remember those Mexicans who ran away?" They definitely remembered you. Don't doubt it, people like you will never forget it in their lives. If they want revenge, the most likely target is your wife. β
Chekov seemed to sense the seriousness of the situation, picked up the phone from the bedside and dialed his wife's number directly, and on the weekend he also took out his mobile phone, and he called Pablo.
"SIR, Western Branch Patrol Weekend." Without waiting for Pablo to answer, the weekend continued: "I am going to apply for a safe house and 24-hour protection for Chekov's wife. β
It is impossible for Pablo not to agree, whether it is for Chekov to save their lives or for Matthew's sake: "No problem, I'll arrange it right away, where is Chekov's wife now?" β
Chekov stretched out his hand and pointed to his bed, and immediately said: "You send someone to the hospital, she will come to the hospital to see Chekov immediately." β
It's Matthew again.
When he found himself on the weekend that he even remembered that he should have sought protection for Chekov's woman because of Matthew's angry shouting at reporters on television, he felt as if he was being overshadowed.
It's just that he can't understand a little, how could such a shrewd person as Matthew accept Quinn, an airborne soldier, to take charge of the homicide department? How could he watch Adam, the first detective in Los Angeles, be expelled from the homicide department?
Hanging up the phone, Chekov didn't seem to hear a word of comfort to his wife over the weekend, and he fell into the mystery inside the police station.
Tick, tick, tick.
When the phone rang again, and the weekend thought that Pablo had changed something, it was Aiward's voice that appeared in his ears after the phone was connected: "Zhou, this matter is a bit serious. β
Aiward paused for a moment and said: "A few days ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs took away all your information, including the police records from the Montec period, and they said that you had an extra $20,000 in your account, is this true?" β
"It's true, I reported it to the Los Angeles Department of Internal Affairs the day I received the money."
"This time it's not just the Department of Internal Affairs, but even the FBI is involved in the investigation." Edward revealed a surprise news over the weekend: "A staff member of the Department of Internal Affairs who went to Pennsylvania to investigate the information of the remitter...... He's dead. β
"Murder!" (To be continued......)
