Chapter 159: Lone Detective
Mike got his wish to join the 13th District Police Department, and, as he thought, this is Iron Man Tony. Stark-funded police station, the renovated police station building has four more floors than the original, the functional buildings such as the evidence room and the data room have been rezoned into exclusive areas and redesigned with state-of-the-art security systems, of course, the other departments have been upgraded, and even the reception desk at the entrance has been replaced with a full set of marble countertops and the latest computer equipment.
Of course, it is not the equipment and environment that measure the quality of a police station, but the personnel in it, and at this point, Mike is more satisfied.
When Sergeant Hunt finally returned to New York from Hawaii to the police station, George, who had been exercising the authority of the commissioner for several days, immediately called the meeting to order, and then, ignoring Hunt's explanation, showed him the order and immediately began to preside over the meeting.
First of all, of course, the discipline of the police station, George has been the director for many years and has his own set of methods for this, the lack of funds of the police station and the chaos of the leadership have led to the floating of the police officers below, give them a little time, these old fritters may not be able to rejuvenate the second spring, so, his first instruction is not difficult to accept, the original police officers are all transferred to the internal service, if there is a willingness to continue to serve in the field, it is still possible, but it is limited to patrols, and there is no need to act rashly in case of emergencies, immediately call the police station for support.
This directive is deeply in the hearts of these old police officers, they can live until now, almost all of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, copying license plates and catching drunks or something is barely competent, as for crimes such as robbery and theft, they will most likely wait for the criminals to go to the door after they are gone to pretend to investigate, this can't be completely blamed on them, just the police's salary, it's not enough for them to die, God knows what those criminals are carrying, The fact that someone snatched $200 from a food truck with an automatic rifle is not news here.
Of course, there were other police officers, who did not want to do civilian jobs and still chose to patrol the streets, and George agreed to their request, but just as Mike wanted to say something, George called the meeting up and called Mike's name.
"I heard you were born in this neighborhood, can you show me around?" In private, George changed his previous tough style and said to Mike with a pleasant face.
"Of course, Director, it's an honor." Mike nodded excitedly, led the chief and walked to the police car outside, he didn't notice that inside a window of the police station, a pair of eyes watched their police car drive away.
"Chief, let me tell you, there are black police in the bureau, and among those who want to be patrol officers, several of them are undercover agents of nearby gangs in the police station..."
"Mike." Before Mike could finish speaking, George interrupted him, "No one goes to police school just to come out to be a black policeman, they are full of justice and responsibility like you at the beginning, but the cruelty of reality and the difficulties of life make them choose another path, if there is another choice, maybe they will also become good policemen, and besides, the information they provide to the gang may be beneficial to whom." ”
Looking at the confident smile on George's face, Mike will also smile heartily, this is a good head, and he is also very smart and very capable, he has been here for many years, Director Hunt is the longest term, one year, yes, only one year, of course, this is because he has never done anything, so those gangsters will leave him a small life, and his predecessor either died in office, or was transferred out of here in fright.
"Boss, should I find a secluded street, the intersection of Charlie Street is good, there is a wide view, and there are no homes nearby." After acknowledging George's abilities, Mike even changed his name.
"Clever boy, well, you have the final say, but for now, stop the car, take out the body armor from the trunk and put it on, wear two layers."
"Chief, what about you?" Mike was stunned, he knew that there were only two pieces of body armor in a police car.
"Me? I don't need that. ”
The police car stopped for a moment and continued on to Charlie Street, which Mike had said, while someone in the room on the side of the road spread the news on the phone.
"Boss, the next intersection is here, what should we do?" Mike asked as he looked around, and he noticed that his leader's subordinates were also very unusual, so far, he had not found a single clue about them, and the leader did not seem to have contacted them, but judging by the light-hearted look on George's face, these new colleagues must have arranged a circle around them.
"Stop, you just wait here, and you call for support when the front fires opens." After the car stopped, George got out of the car, took off his suit and threw it back into the car, he had two pistols on his body, and a circle of magazines stuck in his waist, "Mike, help me take care of the suit and don't get dirty, otherwise Helen will complain about me again when I go back." ”
George walked to the crossroads with a pistol in one hand, Mike felt that his back was particularly handsome, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, even if it was to be a decoy, there was no need to be so exaggerated, any stray bullet would kill him, this is not a movie.
"Mike called the police station, and the sheriff and I were at the intersection of Charlie Street, as if we had been ambushed by gangsters, and asked for reinforcements." There were shadows on the rooftops around the intersection, and Mike had seen many familiar faces, all of them notoriously fierce in the neighborhood gangsters, and he ignored George's orders, and directly picked up the walkie-talkie and called for reinforcements.
"Charles Avenue crossroads? Okay, the police station has received it, and immediately send reinforcements. The message from the walkie-talkie immediately confirmed Mike's conjecture, hell, there is no police ambush here at all, the boss is trying to kill himself?
Da-da-da-da! The crisp sound of an automatic rifle came from the front, mixed with the dull sound of a shotgun, and Mike ignored George's warning, pulled out his pistol and rushed out of the police car, and then saw an unforgettable scene.
I saw George holding his two guns tightly, calmly firing back at the gangsters under the cover of the surrounding buildings, even in the face of a rain of bullets, his hands never trembled, and the bullets from the guns accurately hit the bandits one by one.
"Be careful!" Reality is certainly not a movie, and at Mike's shouts, a gangster emerges from behind George, smirks and pulls the trigger on his back.
