Carter slammed the door, tore off his collar and walked back to his seat, picked up the tea cup and drank half of the remaining coffee from last night in one gulp. He walked back and forth angrily for a few steps, cursing and saying something.
The newly appointed Mayor Donald's attitude towards him as the police chief made people feel a little alienated, and the people below immediately showed signs that something was not right. When Dulin was not gone, he was always the only voice in the entire police station. No matter how unreasonable tasks he asked the police officers to perform, no one would refute or even question him. But now, there are already some bad signs. These non-Guarte police officers began to disobey his orders and even questioned the purpose of his orders.
He knew very well why these people did this. They simply wanted to prevent him from falling in when the mayor purged Dulin's group of people in the police station. But they ignored another issue. When they began to consider leaving a way out for themselves, they cut off Haite's way out. If Haite doesn't deal with them, almost half of the police officers in the police station will disobey his orders in a few days at most, and ignore his orders. Once people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team.
Scott calmed down the anger in his heart, and then looked at Scott curiously, "What do you want to do here?"
"Good thing!" Scott stroked Haidt and sat on the chair facing him, crossing his legs. "The boss said that since Donald planned to challenge his rules, he should let him know that something was done. There is a heavy price to pay!”
"Is this decided?" Haidt was stunned for a moment. Just a few days after Donald took office, Dulin was about to remove him. Isn't it a bit too fast? But soon Haite nodded in agreement: "No problem, he should learn a lesson, I will do it immediately!"
After Scott left, Haidt thought for a while, put on his police hat, and went directly to the last room in the detention room. After he opened the door, the woman in the room immediately raised her head, her eyes indescribably weird. This woman has been detained here for almost half a year. At the beginning, she would make a fuss, either wanting to accuse Du Lin or threatening to commit suicide. After more than a month of trouble, no one paid any attention to her, and she became more honest after being deprived of food for two days.
A policewoman would come to chat with her every two or three days. It was said that this was done to avoid driving her crazy, but now it seems that she is doing well.
He threw the document bag in his hand, and Alice reacted slowly. She opened the document bag, and there was a thick stack of photos inside. Alice's numb expression changed for the first time. These photos were almost all close-ups of different people. There were men and women, old and young. They all had one distinctive feature. They were all Alice's. Relatives.
Her brothers, her father and mother, her uncles and aunts all appear in these photos. Alice suddenly raised her head and looked at Hatter, holding the document bag tightly in her hands, she pursed her lips, "What do you want?"
"Me?" Haite chuckled, "It's not me, madam, it's the boss who wants you to do something for him. After doing these things, you may encounter some trouble temporarily, but you will soon gain Be free and start a new life in a new place!”
"how should I do?"
Hatter glanced back at the hallway and closed the door.
Three days later, an explosive piece of news instantly spread through the phone lines to all newspaper offices. Many morning papers and daily newspapers actually printed an emergency supplement in the evening, which shows the sensationalism caused by this news.
A major breakthrough was made in the assassination case of Otis Mayor Dulin. A freelance journalist sold his photos to several newspapers for 50,000 yuan, and then sold them to the remaining newspapers at a lower price. newspaper office. Although her behavior was very shameless, everyone decided not to care about her for the time being because the photos were worth the money.
That night, with a livid face, Donald got the printed supplement of Otis City Daily. The first page of the supplement was completely occupied by black and bold text, which read "The Darkness Behind the Sun", followed by seven enlarged pictures. The photos and the entire newspaper contain no text except for the title, but they definitely make people think.
The first photo is of the moment of rioting in front of the City Hall Square when Dulin was assassinated. There were people running around in panic. The most eye-catching part was that Dulin fell under the podium. From this photo, you can see several assassins holding pistols and pointing at Dulin on the podium.
The second photo is of a car parked on the street. Behind the car, three guys with clear faces and weapons in their hands are rushing towards the car. The car had a local license plate, and there was a driver in the cab. These people were all wearing loose windbreakers and round-top felt hats with lower brim, but their appearance could still be vaguely distinguished.
The third photo shows these people sitting in a car. One of them has his hat brim completely raised, revealing his appearance very clearly. He was looking at the police and Dulin's bodyguards who were running in the distance. The driver beside him had turned the steering wheel and the car had left the roadside.
The fourth photo is a very ordinary street photo. In the street photo, a woman is sitting on the edge of the flower bed and looking at the book in her hand quietly, showing a thoughtful look. Her slightly frowning eyebrows make people want to find out. Desire, what exactly confused this beautiful woman. But this is not the focus of this photo. The focus is on the lower left corner of the photo, where the assassin is inviting a sideways man into a restaurant.
Then the fifth and sixth photos were obviously not taken by the same camera as the previous photos, and the time may not be in the same time period. But the assassin who killed Dulin appears in these two photos. The assassin stood at the edge of the photo in a formal suit and stood obediently. In the middle of the photo was a very famous man in northern upper class society, his name was Solo. Readers who have seen this photo have already guessed that this assassin must be related to the imposing figure in the photo.
As for the seventh photo, the content is very simple and everyone is familiar with it. It is a frontal photo of Mr. Donald, who recently took office as mayor of Otis. Wearing very decent clothes, he turned sideways, facing the camera, and smiled brightly.
Many people suddenly realized something and immediately returned to page five. They looked at the person in the lower left corner of the photo with a magnifying glass, and their faces suddenly showed shock.
That's Donald, and Donald is with the assassin!
Donald himself looked confused, but he quickly came to his senses and tore the newspaper into pieces. That's right, Solo had talked to him and asked him to say a few good words to Dulin's ears for the Capet family, to see if he could use his path as the city's number two figure to open up the relationship with the number one figure and let the Capet family The family gets a share of a casino. They did sit outside for a while, and he did agree to Solo's request, but he did not tell Dulin anything about this matter.
He just treated Solo perfunctorily, but he didn't expect that he would very likely fall into this matter. This was a frame-up, a frame-up!
At the same time, he could guess without hesitation the driving force behind this incident - Du Lin.
That guy must be hating himself for taking his position, so he wants to be kicked out in this way, but he is innocent!
Donald told himself that he had to do something. If he didn't say anything, public opinion would definitely be one-sided, led by conspiracy theorists who regard anything as a conspiracy. Ordinary and very stupid people will definitely believe some distorted truths. He needs to stand up and tell him that this is a persecution against him. These reports are untrue and have been deliberately put together to frame him.
At this moment, the phone in his hand suddenly rang. He hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone. A somewhat unfamiliar voice came from the phone, "Hello, Mayor Donald, this is Powell. I have a I need you to answer the question, and you must give me the truest answer. Only in this way can we choose what to do, understand?" The voice on the phone paused for three seconds, and then rang again, "Solo. Have I met you?"
Donald knew Powell, and he was able to speak out a lot about Powell this time, so he hesitated for a moment before saying "yes."
"Did you talk about Dulin and some policy issues about Otis City? This question is very important and you must answer it truthfully!"
"Yes, we said..." Before Donald could finish his words, he moved the receiver away from his ear in confusion, and then looked at the receiver in his hand blankly. The call signal inside had been cut off.
What does it mean
Why did you hang up the phone after asking two questions
Doesn’t Powell trust himself too
Donald couldn't figure out what was happening in the world at that moment. In fact, Powell didn't know either because it was not Powell who made the call.
The next day, the price of the Imperial Daily rose to three yuan and ninety-nine cents. Such a terrifying increase was not because the newspaper's decision-makers were crazy, but that today's newspaper was a little different. In addition to the newspaper itself, there is also an audio tape. The content of the audio tape is shockingly short, less than thirty seconds.
But even so, all the newspapers that had been published by the Imperial Daily were sold out within an hour. After publishing four times in a row, the numbing sales speed was effectively alleviated, which made the Imperial Daily even more excited. What's more, newspapers and news agencies from all over the empire have ordered more than 217,000 audio tapes from them. This will make their sales in one day more than the sales in the past three months!
On this day, those two lines of dialogue were repeated in the streets and alleys across the empire!
