Li Yalin had been manipulated by the gambler's mentality at this time and vowed to take this opportunity to take a chance.
Therefore, when he heard that the director wanted him to evacuate people, he immediately retorted angrily: "If we evacuate people now, all our previous efforts will be completely wasted!"
The director asked back: "Haven't you already conducted a thorough search? When do you want to go on searching? Even if I give you a month to demolish the Fei Group headquarters building bit by bit, you can't possibly destroy the people."
find out!"
Li Yalin blurted out: "Director, ask the special operations team to search again. I think it is impossible for her to escape. Maybe she is hiding in a corner of the Fei Group!"
The director said angrily: "Li, I know you were unconvinced when you encountered such a case before you retired, but let me tell you, now this matter has caused huge dissatisfaction in the media and the public.
Now there is a lot of criticism against the New York police on the Internet, and the mayor has received countless phone calls accusing us!"
Li Yalin said hurriedly: "That's why we have to catch Su Ruoli and find a way to get out of her the reasons and consequences of Wanlong Palace's involvement in this matter!"
The director scolded: "Are you out of your mind? No matter whether those people were killed by people from Wanlong Palace or not, I will only tell you one thing. People all over the United States and even the world are applauding the death of these people."
Applauded, and they all regard the murderer behind the scenes as a hero. Even the mayor asked us to stop the investigation. Do you still want to disobey the mayor’s order?!”
Li Yalin was immediately speechless when asked.
He was silent for a moment and then asked: "Director, it is okay to close the team now, but what about after closing the team? Will this matter never be investigated?"
The director waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. You will retire in less than a year. I will hand over the work tomorrow. During the period before retirement, just rest at home and recuperate. When you retire,
I will hold a grand farewell ceremony for you and let you retire with honor."
When Li Yalin heard this, he immediately became anxious and said angrily: "Do you want me to get out now?!"
The director said word by word: "No, I just want you to take a break and let others do the rest of the work."
With that said, the chief patiently advised: "Li, you have dedicated so many years to the police department, just think of it as giving more opportunities to young people before you retire. As for yourself, just go and have a good rest."
"Impossible!" Li Yalin said coldly: "If I don't solve this case, it's impossible for me to retire early! I can't allow me to retire with such a shameful case at the end of my many years of police career.
!”
After that, Li Yalin threatened: "Director, if you want to take this case away from me, then I will go to the mayor to complain against you!"
"Complain me?" The director gave a wry smile, and then said helplessly: "Li, let me tell you clearly, in next year's mayoral election, the current mayor will still seek re-election. This case has already affected his re-election.
It will have a huge negative impact. If we cause public outrage now, then the hope of re-election will be completely ruined! So, it’s not that I want you to retire early, it’s the mayor who wants you to retire early!”
As soon as these words came out, Li Yalin was stunned.
He really didn't expect that the mayor who had repeatedly praised him in public would actually want him to retire early.
Seeing that he was speechless, the director continued to add: "Li, there are only two options before you now. The first is that you take the initiative to apply for early retirement. Although this case will cause you to lose some face,
But at least it won't ruin your reputation. It's nothing more than a stain. Don't your Chinese ancestors always say that no one is a sage, and no one can be without faults. Having such a stain will not have much impact on you. Besides,
As the New York Police Commissioner, this case will leave an indelible stain on my resume. I can face it calmly. Why do you have to hesitate?"
At this point, the director cleared his throat and said: "Ahem... Li, if you are unwilling, the only way is for the New York Police Department to publicly announce the suspension of your work. As for the reason for suspending your work, it is also based on the
You bear unshirkable responsibility for many aspects of this series of cases, including but not limited to the failure to discover the criminal facts of Fei Haoyang and others for such a long time, and the fact that Fei Haoyang’s kidnapping case has not been revealed until Fei Haoyang’s kidnapping.
Even though the vote was ripped off, the murderer could not be caught!"
Li Yalin's whole body suddenly had veins popping out, and he was filled with anger.
But the chief said with a serious face: "Li, if there is a big problem that cannot be solved, someone will always come out to take the blame. You have worked in the New York Police Department for so many years. There is no way you don't understand this truth, and I don't want you to take the blame."
This is a scapegoat, but if you are really stubborn, then I can only apologize to you in advance!"
Li Yalin gritted his teeth and looked at the other party. Even though he was filled with hatred, he also knew that what the director said was true.
In fact, most of the time, the New York police system is very protective. If one of its own people causes trouble, the superiors will definitely find a way to solve it for the sake of overall image.
However, the New York police can't handle everything.
In recent years, the New York police's violent law enforcement against ethnic minorities has triggered huge public outrage on several occasions. At first, the New York police also tried to protect their own people, but in the end they had to make sacrifices because of the great public outrage.
Now, the impact of the series of cases involving Fei Haoyang is also extremely bad. However, the incident happened suddenly and the police department has not yet found a way to deal with it. However, it can be guessed from the current situation that it is very difficult to investigate and find out the reason for this incident.
Come, so it won’t be long before someone from the New York police must take the blame.
It may be a wise choice to retreat from the rapids now.
Moreover, Li Yalin also knew that he had no choice now.
Either active retirement or passive retirement, there is no second choice except retirement.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, he said dejectedly: "Okay, I accept it."
The director nodded happily and instructed: "Later, you go to have a brief meeting with the media and tell them that the police have received a tip that there is a suspect operating in this building, but after searching, it is confirmed that there is no trace of the suspect.
, this operation may be due to incorrect intelligence, don’t explain too much else.”
Li Yalin said helplessly: "Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
The director nodded and added: "I will arrange an internal meeting tomorrow morning. At the meeting, you can take the initiative to say that you have been under too much pressure recently and want to take a rest. I will agree and then hand over this case to Bruno to continue taking charge.
"
Li Yalin hurriedly asked: "Do you want Bruno to continue the investigation?"
"Investigation is nonsense!" the director waved his hand and said: "I will ask Bruno to change the direction of the investigation. On the one hand, he will investigate the victim's identity information to see if there are other victims who have not been exposed. On the other hand, he will also thoroughly investigate Fei Haoyang.
and his other accomplices to see if any fish have slipped through the net."
Li Yalin blurted out and asked: "What about the murderer? I won't arrest him?!"
"Catch me!" the director sneered, and asked him: "Tell me how to arrest him? If Wanlong Palace didn't do it, can the real murderer be found? If Wanlong Palace did it, how do you want me to go to Wanlong City?
The palace arrests people? Let’s not say that Wanlong Palace is difficult to deal with. Even if it is easy to deal with, I went to arrest people. How can I explain it to the people? After all the hard work, am I still going to be scolded?
"
Li Yalin couldn't help but ask: "Director, we are law enforcers. If we don't catch criminals who blatantly violate the law, how can we maintain the dignity of the law?"
The director said calmly: "At times like this, we must learn to compromise. Our top priority is not to maintain the dignity of the law, but to satisfy the people. I plan to make it a dead end case, so that the people will not think we are incompetent.
They will only feel that the hero in their minds is more powerful than they imagined, and they will not come to trouble us again because we did not solve the case!"
When Li Yalin heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Since it's been exaggerated into an unsolved case, there's no need for me to retire early, right? At worst, I will obey the arrangement and no longer investigate this case!"
The director shook his head: "No, the mayor knows your temper, so he has already told me that you must retire early!"
