Director Mani was so regretful that his intestines turned blue.
He shouldn't be playing tricks with the consulate, and he shouldn't be angry with Xiao Zheng - he solved the case in three days!
Has the case been solved
At least from Mani's professional perspective, the case has not been solved!
Xiao Zheng or the consulate did not provide any clues to the police, including witnesses and physical evidence.
But all the suspects related to the shooting at the consulate died tragically within these three days!
This includes Deputy Chief Jerry and Congressman Mylar.
Their deaths shocked both the government and the public.
Especially after the stupid things Congressman Maillar had done were made public, Mani really wanted to slap himself!
If he had known that the situation would develop to this point, Mani would have taken the initiative no matter what. At the very least, treat the consulate with a good attitude.
After the other party's anger subsided and the initial anger was gone, he would slowly help the consulate solve the problem. Even if one or two culprits were found during the whole process to calm the matter, it would be a hundred times better than the current situation.
On the night of Congressman Maillar's tragic death, Congress, including the Presidential Palace, issued an ultimatum to New York Mayor Fall. This matter must be concluded as soon as possible. If any similar incident happens again, only the city government is responsible!
"These lunatics! They even dare to kill the congressmen!" Mayor Fall was scolded by his superiors. I'm throwing a tantrum in the office right now. Many officials lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything. Mani also stood aside with a gloomy face, thinking about the next arrangements.
what to do
We must have a showdown with Xiao Zheng!
Resolve this matter as soon as possible!
Obviously, neither the Presidential Office nor Congress intends to take over this responsibility. The New York City government, where the incident occurred, is very likely to become cannon fodder.
If it is finally pursued, whether it is to calm public anger or to put an end to the matter. Several key city officials will step down. Including Director Mani!
After Mayor Fall vented his anger and issued a deadline, he smashed his teacup and kicked the officials out.
Director Mani hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Mayor, I need to talk to General Xiao."
When Mayor Fall heard this, he twitched his lips and said, "Let's talk!"
But he was cursing secretly in his heart: "Damn Mani! What have you been doing?!"
Both Mani and Foer regretted their mistakes. It really echoes the saying: If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place
…
"It looks like our case has been solved?"
In the office, Jiang Qing took a sip of tea. Although I was happy, I was also slightly worried.
This incident was really too big. And completely exceeded Jiang Qing's expectations. But when she looked up at Xiao Zheng, she found that he was leisurely reading the New York Morning News. He didn't seem to be bothered by these things.
"It can only be said that all those involved in the case are dead." Xiao Zheng put down the morning newspaper and said with a smile. "Cracking the case? That's a matter for the police. What does it have to do with us?"
Jiang Qing smiled bitterly and did not answer.
People are dead. Isn’t the case considered solved
This Xiao Zheng is really capable. He was able to cause trouble in New York without leaving any clues.
"I heard that Director Mani wants to meet with you alone?" Jiang Qing put down the teacup and asked curiously.
"Yeah. I'll go to the conference room to meet him in a minute." Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
Jiang Qing frowned and said, "Is he here to cause trouble?"
"Looking for trouble?" Xiao Zheng smiled. "What trouble can he find with me?"
Jiang Qing smiled bitterly and said: "After all, we have done so many things. He must hate us in his heart."
Xiao Zheng smiled, shook his head and said, "Captain Jiang, you are becoming more and more unfounded."
Jiang Qing said nothing, but said in her heart: "That's because you made the matter bigger and bigger."
Ended the non-nutritious topic with Jiang Qing. Xiao Zheng rushed to the conference room.
Here, Mani has been waiting for half an hour.
He drank three cups of coffee. Smoked half a pack of cigarettes. But Xiao Zheng didn't show up for a long time.
But he is patient enough and must wait patiently.
As long as Xiao Zheng's anger is not extinguished, no one knows how this matter will develop. But unfortunately, he didn't have any clues at all. What's more, we can't blame Xiao Zheng for what happened in the past few days.
damn it!
He is truly a king of sin!
Creak.
The door opened. Xiao Zheng walked into the conference room with a calm expression and said calmly: "Director Mani, I am about to admit my mistake to you."
As soon as Xiao Zheng said this, Mani was stunned and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"I overestimated myself. I didn't solve the case within three days." Xiao Zheng sighed softly and slowly sat on the chair. "It seems that this shooting case still needs to be investigated personally by Director Mani."
Mani almost jumped up and cursed.
Your uncle!
Everyone is dead, why bother investigating
Even the Presidential Palace and Congress have asked for peace of mind. I am a big-ass director, what kind of nonsense can I make
Mani stood up quickly, rubbed his hands and explained: "There have been too many cases in New York recently. I really can't spare the manpower to investigate. Moreover, when the environment allows, I will definitely investigate it personally."
This is clearly stated.
Let’s leave this case alone for now. Don't bother with your old man. How about we just be gentle, have a cup of tea, applaud, and pretend that this matter has been revealed
It will do no good to anyone if the quarrel continues.
"Your case is a case. Aren't the consulate's cases?" Xiao Zheng said with squinting eyes without any appreciation. "Director Mani, can I take this as racial discrimination?"
Mani quickly explained: "General Xiao, you misunderstood. I definitely didn't mean that -"
Xiao Zheng opened a bottle of water, moistened his throat and said, "Director Mani, tell me, what does this mean?"
Seeing that Xiao Zheng was not getting along well, Mani was heartbroken and said in a low voice: "General Xiao, there are some things that I can't say clearly. But if you make a condition, how can we settle the matter?"
"What conditions are you asking for?" Xiao Zheng asked in a cryptic manner.
"What are your requirements and what kind of compensation do you need? As long as we can do it, we will not refuse." Mani said solemnly.
When Xiao Zheng heard this, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily. He said slowly: "There was a shooting at the consulate. The city government should say something, right?"
"This is necessary!" Director Mani vowed. “I will convey General Xiao’s message to the mayor!”
"I think besides Mayor Faure, there should be someone else who needs to apologize?" Xiao Zheng said meaningfully.
Mani vaguely guessed what Xiao Zheng meant. There was a sudden thought in his heart, and he hesitated: "We will get in touch with the New York State Senator. Try to get the other party to come forward—"
Xiao Zheng heard this and reluctantly accepted Director Mani's proposal.
But before Xiao Zheng saw off Director Mani, he received a call from Sophia.
As soon as the call was connected, she said mysteriously: "Azheng, there is a good show to watch tonight."
