Lynch's car soon stopped in the parking lot of the Sebin City Tax Office, in fact, judging from the posture and attitude of the guards standing guard with guns at the door, there is no problem in saying that this is more like a police station than a police station.

After waiting for a few minutes, Lynch got out of the car, smiled a nervous Vera and walked to the other side of the parking lot and got into a car.

If anyone notices, they can see that not long ago there was a person they knew who had entered the car that they were not necessarily familiar with, yes, it was Director Johnson, but no one could say whose car it was, only that it often appeared here and sometimes disappeared.

Sitting in the car and closing the door, the heavy sound of the door closing filled the small space with an indescribable sense of security.

Director Johnson, who was sitting in the back seat, couldn't help but complain a little, "You shouldn't have come here to me, you know ......"

What he meant was that Lynch's relationship with Michael had made him known to many people in the IRS, and if the incident of Lynch's meeting with Johnson was deliberately publicized, it would be enough to disgust some people, if not cause any major problems.

In fact, not long ago, some people in the tax bureau were privately spreading some strange rumors, saying that the real reason for Michael's entry was Director Johnson's manipulation, and his purpose was Michael's young and beautiful wife.

This kind of rumor is very troublesome, he caught it a few times, and in the end he didn't catch any people who spread the rumors, and after the rumors gradually subsided, he had to stop it.

He didn't want to spread rumors like "Michael went in because Director Johnson had a close personal relationship with Lynch" after some time, which might lead to an investigation by the IRS's housekeeping department.

Lynch waited for him to finish complaining before asking, "Do you know the chief of the police department?"

Johnson was stunned for a moment, he thought that Lynch was here to do something with him, but he didn't expect it to be related to another director of the bureau with real power, he just hesitated for a second or two, nodded and admitted.

"Fix, have you been caught by the police?", when this sentence was first spoken, Director Johnson's tone was still joking in a gloating way, but soon his brow was wrinkled.

If something happens to Lynch, will he be implicated?

If Lynch's matter can't be resolved quickly, will he be able to get money from Lynch in the future?

Director Johnson's children unfortunately also lost their jobs(1), and his current salary is not only for himself, but also for his family, and for his children, and there is no money to help Michael's wife and children.

When he retires or changes jobs, and his salary drops, he can't afford to support such a large family.

Looking at Johnson's frowning brows, Lynch quietly made a request, "I want to talk to this Director Fix, the security in Sabin City has been very bad recently, and I heard that the special funds given by the city finance to the police department to solve cases have also been reduced a lot." ”

"As a member of the citizens of the city of Sabine, I think it is my duty and need to contribute to the security of the city of Sabine. ”

This belongs to talking nonsense with his eyes open, but Johnson still understands the general meaning, but he can't figure out Lynch's purpose now, so he doesn't dare to agree at will.

In case Lynch's purpose is a bit excessive, Director Fix will never agree, once there is some dispute between the two sides, even if it is just a louder voice, it sounds like a quarrel, and in the end, Director Fix will blame Director Johnson.

Lynch saw through his worries at a glance, and said with a smile, "I just want to make a friend with Director Fix, it's not a bad thing to make friends, even if he doesn't want to befriend me, we won't have a conflict because of this, what do you say?"

With Lynch's assurance, Director Johnson, after much hesitation, arranged this meeting for him, and it was just noon.

In fact, Director Johnson thought that it should be placed on a certain evening in a few days, which would be more formal, but Lynch's request for time was relatively tight, so it could only be hastily set.

The city has just restored order, and law and order is naturally the top priority, and it has to be said that these veterans have played an irreplaceable role in the process of maintaining social order in Sabin City, which also makes the director of the Sabine City Police Department Fix breathe a sigh of relief.

When the general strike broke out, he didn't do very well, and even the police strike occurred during his tenure.

The mayor is not a weak, assertive or talkative person, as can be seen from his attitude and methods towards the Ristoan group, and Director Fix was also nervous during this time, for fear that when an order was suddenly issued to ask him to hand over his police badge and gun, or transfer him to other positions, such as an administrator in the evidence management warehouse or something.

While he worked diligently to protect himself, he was also secretly trying to see if he could find someone to help him through this difficult time.

When Director Johnson called him, he was sitting in his office pondering these solutions, but when he heard that it was Lynch who wanted to make friends with him, his whole body became refreshed.

Everyone knows that Lynch's Interstellar Trading Company and his second-hand goods auction have been a huge success, and behind this standing is the mayor of Sabin, Langdon.

Lynch is also close to the mayor's nephew, who is also his agent, Mark.

It's perfectly fine to think of Lynch as someone close to the mayor.

He immediately agreed to Director Johnson's proposal.

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the two sat together in a restaurant in the center of the city that had reopened.

Chief Fix looked to be in his forties, and he wasn't as bloated, fat, and somewhat greasy as one might think of as a police officer, and while there was evidence that a strong body could be intimidating, it was clear that the officers were confusing fat with strong.

He didn't have a bloated figure, he was normally a little chubby but not bloated and not a side shape, and he didn't have sparse hair, but a thick dark brown hair.

He looks ordinary, but he has a kind of vigorous momentum, which is something that his position and the power in his hands bring.

When people themselves are able to despise most of the people around them, their carelessness, arrogance, and disdain eventually come together to form something very special, and some believe that this is where the momentum comes from.

"Sorry, it's late......"

Director Fix was actually very punctual, two minutes earlier than they had agreed, and he apologized for his "tardiness" as he pulled out his chair and sat down.

There aren't many people in restaurants, not many people can enjoy lunch in restaurants right now, the middle class has to save money to deal with the recession that doesn't know when it will end, and the upper class may prefer to eat at home because it's not safe to go out right now.

As for those ordinary people, they have already said goodbye to places like restaurants, and for at least a year or two, nothing major happens, and they won't come here.

After a brief pleasantries, Lynch spoke of some of his thoughts, "I noticed a problem, patrol police cars in Sabine are very uncommon, and more of them are mounted police. ”

Chief Fix nodded, "That's true, there are four police cars in Sabin City, but we have very limited police cars, in addition to three to five police cars in each station, there are only six in the district police station. ”

There are less than 30 police cars in the entire area of police stations and sub-stations, which looks like ...... It's shabby, but that's the case in most second- and third-tier cities.

In some of the more remote cities in the west, the number of police cars in one city may be in the single digits, and many police officers are still patrolling on horseback.

Funding has always been a problem for police stations, but it is also the most common means used by local authorities to curb police and police stations.

This is a very peculiar social phenomenon, people's safety and social security actually depend on the work of the police, but ordinary people are happy to see the police suppressed, and even this situation has become a kind of hidden social demand!

In many places, mayoral candidates will more or less advocate a more or less formal idea of making the police and their work more formal – implying that they will limit the power of the police when they come to power, but on any basis, this proposition will be absurd to a person who can think normally.

But that's what people do, and they like to see the policemen shackled with sad faces.

Lynch pursed his lips, "In my personal name, I donate ten cars to the District Police Department, Chief Fix, do you think it's appropriate?"

Director Fix was stunned for a moment, and a flash of joy immediately appeared on his face, could it be inappropriate?

It's just a perfect fit!

Now the situation of the regional police department is much worse than outsiders think, those veterans have their own system, and it can even be said that these veterans and transferred police officers look down on them ordinary policemen, and they are full of dissatisfaction with him as the chief.

Some of them also said that the police also had to go out for drills and militarized training, and some even proposed to remove all those who were not in good shape from the police ranks!

It's just a joke, the police are not military men, they don't need this!

But the situation is delicate, Director Fix's control over the system is disappearing, he is being challenged from below, and he has to do something to change the situation.

Otherwise, the mayor or some people can always find some reason for him to get out, such as that he can't even control his own subordinates, and he may lose control anytime and anywhere.

If he can make friends with Lynch and get these benefits, he can change some of his current situation, which is a good thing for him, a good thing that he can't refuse!

However, he did not agree immediately, but only looked at Lynch with a slightly puzzled expression, believing that the capitalists did not reach out to pull people who were in trouble, they only saw in these people the rewards that made them salivate.

It's like ...... He's going through something like that!
