Chapter 343: Gathering (please ask for a monthly ticket)
Marcus immediately told Kai with facts what seniority meant. He told Kai a lot of gossip about Matthew without even checking.
It turns out that the reason why Matthew was beaten by someone yesterday was very simple, because he slept with someone else's wife. What's even worse is that the blond middle-aged man was Matthew's previous partner. The guy with the green hair on his head is named Martin Woody.
Martin was originally a member of their operations department. He was transferred and left the operations department about three years ago. The reason was that he couldn't stand Matthew.
But before that, he and Matthew had a good time. At that time, the two of them were known as the best partners in the entire Chicago Police Department. Together they solved many cases, the most famous of which was the 'shoe cult'.
"Corpse Case", in which they not only killed the murderer directly, but also rescued several children who were imprisoned by the murderer.
This battle made these two people famous. Martin and Matthew are at the other extreme. He is cheerful and smooth, and is very popular among colleagues in the police station. Whether it is his boss or others, he is highly praised.
very high.
But from that time on, a rift appeared between the two. Matthew always felt that there were still doubts about the case back then, but Martin enjoyed his promotion and salary increase with peace of mind and began to neglect his own work. After that, the two had a big fight.
Then there was a formal breakup. Martin applied for transfer to the intelligence team, while Matthew continued to sink.
Originally, it was just like that, and the two of them were just like that. Maybe they would nod when they met again. But for some reason, Matthew actually got involved with Martin's wife, which made Martin completely lose control. He was very popular, and the intelligence team
Colleagues felt that what Matthew had done was too much, and they all supported Martin...
Then he was suppressed by Kai.
When Kai heard these bullshit things, he just felt a toothache. What the hell is this? Of course, it’s really hard for Kai, an outsider, to get involved in this kind of thing. But as Marcus said before, Matthew has been investigating.
The case from a few years ago interested Kai very much.
Could this be what ‘more terrifying darkness’ refers to?
"Do you know what he's looking for?" Kai asked Marcus.
Who knows, when Marcus heard this question, he looked around in an exaggerated manner and found that no one noticed him. He quickly lowered his body and whispered: "It is said that it is related to some powerful people. At least I know that Matthew once came to Chicago."
It was a problem for the bishop of the diocese, for which the superiors scolded Matthew and ordered him never to harass the bishop again."
Although the United States is considered a "Protestant" country, Catholicism is actually very powerful in the United States. According to statistics, there are more than 51 million Catholics in the United States, accounting for about one-fifth of the total adult population of the United States, with more than 17,000
a Catholic diocese.
It is conceivable how much influence the bishop of a large diocese has. The weight of this bishop alone is enough to make ordinary policemen despair.
"As for what he is checking specifically, I don't know. He is always mysterious. No one knows what he is going to do." Marcus was actually curious about what Matthew was looking for for a while, but he was very mysterious.
This guy is more cautious than expected. No one knows what he is busy with every day.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him. By the way, my sister is coming back from Miami today and there is a party. Do you want to come?" Marcus obviously didn't want to talk more about Matthew because the case he investigated was so big.
Yes, I have been warned openly and secretly several times by the superiors not to cause trouble in this area, otherwise the trouble will be huge.
"Of course, I will be there on time."
…
Turning his head, Kai picked up the phone.
"Hey, Oldman! How are you doing?"
"Oh, Kai, I thought you had forgotten me as an old man. What's wrong? Do you want to drink?" William's magnetic voice came from the other side of the phone that could make even the announcer ashamed. To be honest, Kai always felt that William
He is in the wrong profession. He should not be a policeman. If he becomes an announcer or a voice actor, he will definitely become a legend in the industry. His voice is so peaceful and kind that it can touch the deepest part of your heart.
His voice is absolutely popular when paired with a documentary or something.
Kai likes this old black man to chat and drink very much. His voice and his experience are very easy to trust. During this period, if Kai has time, he will drink and chat with this old man who is old-hearted.
Oh, by the way, William finally chose to postpone his retirement. The Chicago Police Department naturally welcomed this. If nothing else, it was said that his experience was a rare asset to the entire Chicago Police Department.
"You can drink at any time. You should know the location of my house. You are welcome at any time." Kai smiled and said: "Okay, let's get down to business. I need to do me a favor. Help me check something."
Kai has always been concerned about Matthew's words of "more terrifying darkness". He seems to be foreshadowing something. Out of the curiosity of a policeman, Kai feels the need to check to see what is hidden in the "shoe cult case of corpse abuse".
What secret.
"Um...it's very troublesome?" William did not reject Kai. Just as Kai particularly liked drinking and chatting with him, William also had a good impression of Kai. Because he could always feel a certain feeling in Kai that made other people look at him.
Rather than being calm, William is a believer in absolute rationality and believes that only such people are suitable for police work.
"It's a bit troublesome, so I need you to investigate secretly." Since the matter involves an archdiocesan bishop, it is definitely not a small matter. Don't underestimate the power of Catholicism in American society. Cases of Catholic priests sexually abusing minors are actually
There have always been many, but in the American media, it is rare to see these cases being caught and not let go. Many times, pastors who commit crimes will not be punished by the law. They will get away with it for many reasons and have them investigated.
After arriving at another parish, the matter was over.
Then Kai slowly told William the whole story.
"I see...I understand." William finally said.
Kai didn't say much, because he knew that William would definitely handle this matter seriously. Firstly, it was because the flame in William's heart had never been extinguished. He was always the Chicago police officer pursuing justice, and the other reason was because
Yes, William, like Kay, is an atheist!
This is rare. Old-school blacks in the United States are basically Catholics. In fact, Hispanics and blacks have always accounted for a large proportion of Catholics in the United States, while whites only account for one-third of the total Catholic population.
…
In the evening, Kai took Kelly to the South Side in his Cobra 427. As we all know, the South Side of Chicago is where the black community is concentrated, and the security is very poor. But don’t imagine that the entire South Side is like a place where bullets rain every day. In fact, South Side
There are also many safe communities, such as Hyde Park, Jackson Park Heights, Kenwood and Beverly, which are all quite safe communities.
Marcus's home is in the Hyde Park community, which is close to Lake Michigan and has a very good environment and pleasant scenery. The University of Chicago and the Museum of Science and Technology are both located on the edge of Hyde Park, and part of the beautiful Jackson Park is also located within this boundary.
.The shores of Lake Michigan not only bring beautiful scenery to residents and visitors, but they can also run or bike along the 18-mile-long lake.
It can be said that Marcus's home is quite nice.
When Kai arrived with Kelly, who was all dressed up, the small garden behind Marcus' house was already full of people. But when Kai showed up with Kelly, everyone looked at the man and woman with their mouths wide open...
They were all dressed casually, only Kai and Kelly were dressed as if they were attending a cocktail party.
Fortunately for Kai, if he is not wearing a uniform, he is very clean and tidy most of the time. Suits have always been his first choice for daily life. Although it is a bit heavy, it is not out of place, but Kelly's evening dress is a bit...
It's very abrupt anyway.
Kelly was very embarrassed. She wanted to leave a good impression in front of Kai's colleagues, so she had to be so strict. However, the young man reacted quickly. When she saw a group of people looking at her strangely, she immediately stopped her.
Skirt.
There was a stabbing sound.
The evening dress immediately turns into a short skirt, which is much better. A princess instantly becomes a hottie.
Marcus's wife, Theresa, also stood up very gracefully and pulled Kelly to talk to her about some topics between women.
"Hey~~Buddy!" Seeing Kelly twisting his waist and leaving, Marcus immediately came over with an expression that every man would understand. He said enviously: "Is she an adult? Hey, brother, I have to say, you really
It really impressed me.”
Kai smiled slightly awkwardly, not quite sure how to explain this matter. After all, having a girlfriend who is much younger than him is really not easy to explain.
Mike also came over at this time.
"Wow! She's such a hot girl, how did you meet her?"
Mike is known as the number one love interest in the police station. This guy was not honest when it came to seeing a psychiatrist. He slept with his psychiatrist in less than two hours.
"Um...well...everything just happened like that. I actually couldn't react," Teacher Kai said.
Marcus obviously didn't believe it. "Why do you rich boys like to play police games so much? Listen, if my father could leave me a lot of money, I wouldn't be a policeman! I would live in a dream, change a girl every day,
Aren’t you happy?”
This guy thought Kai was the kind of rich boy who paid to pick up girls. But his words clearly offended Mike.
"You know what? I've heard enough of your bullshit! My family has money, so I should apologize? And, Nico! Don't compare you to us! I never use money to make out with girls! And, you
Are you sure you know who your dad is?"
"Oh~~~Oh, calm down, I don't think we need to quarrel about this kind of thing." Kai saw the two of them fighting and immediately stood between them. He didn't expect that these two guys were partnering together.
Six years later, my relationship has become so fragile.
Unexpectedly, Kai's stop made the two of them embarrassed. In fact, this is their daily life. Marcus is the kind of good man who makes money to support his family. He values his family more, so often his motivation is not
It's enough. After all, if he dies, their family will go bankrupt immediately, and the house in Hyde Park is not cheap. The mortgage payment alone is enough for Marcus to bear. Not to mention that Marcus also has four children... Black people generally like to buy houses.
Many children.
"We're just joking, we've always been like this, slutty, slutty."
Kai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. He had heard of this kind of thing before. Some people like to pinch each other as soon as they meet, but in fact they have a good relationship. It's just that he has never seen it before. He didn't expect to see a couple now.
.
Soon the atmosphere became better again, and other people joined in the chat. There was no topic, just a conversation.
Until Kai accidentally said that he didn't buy his car, but Kelly gave it to him, everyone else looked at Kai with expressions of "I really want to beat him to death."
"Really?" Marcus scratched his head with both hands and said with a look of disbelief. For a guy like him who is obviously only 29 years old but looks like 40 years old, it is difficult to understand that such a hot girl would actually fall for Kai.
Money, this is not in line with his values.
Kai shrugged. There was nothing to be embarrassed about. Of course, this was based on Kai’s own lack of money. Who would think too much about his girlfriend casually handing him an apple? In Kai’s opinion, that car
It really doesn't matter to his net worth. On the contrary, if Kai were poor, he would not accept such an expensive gift. He is a macho man and it is difficult for him to tolerate being a pretty boy.
Others also followed suit. They had no ill intentions, they just felt that Kai had made a lot of money. A girl who could afford a Cobra 427 was definitely not from an ordinary family, and she was so beautiful... She was a damn winner in life.
"What are you talking about? Can I come with you?" At this moment, a black girl came over, obviously very curious about the excitement just now.
"Kay, this is Sydney, my sister." Marcus immediately introduced proudly.
Seeing Sydney, Kai believed what Mike just said, because there was absolutely no way the two of them could be the same father. If nothing else, Sydney's height surpassed Marcus's.
"Why do I feel insulted?" Marcus saw Kai's eyes and easily understood what he meant.
Sydney immediately smiled and hit her brother.
"Sydney, now working for the DEA."
"DEA? I hated people who met the DEA the most before, because every time I met a DEA agent, it meant big trouble." Kai smiled and shook hands with Sydney, and then said immediately: "But seeing you, let me
I think it’s not a bad thing to encounter the DEA.”
Sydney giggled at Kai's compliment. Of course, it was mostly a compliment. Sydney was definitely a beauty according to black standards, but Kai couldn't appreciate it. It wasn't because of her skin color, as there were many black people.
She is beautiful, but her facial features are too strong, especially her eyebrows. From the perspective of Eastern aesthetics, she is more masculine than Marcus.
Unexpectedly, Kai's polite compliment immediately made Marcus nervous. In his opinion, Kai and Mike were both people who needed to be on the vigilance blacklist. Mike wouldn't say it. With Marcus' reputation as a good man,
From a perspective, Mike is undoubtedly a bastard, and the kind of scumbag who doesn't like to take responsibility.
Kai is even more terrible, he can actually get a chick to cheat on him, which is much higher than Mike's rank. Mike can only cheat with his body, but Kai can cheat with money and sex, and in the end he loses both his life and money.
Feng Ping was harmed.
But Kai can understand Marcus's nervousness very well. If he wants to have a sister, he might be more exaggerated than Marcus. But what's interesting is that Kai actually saw a subtle change in Mike's face when he saw it.
...could it be that this guy...
Everyone was chatting and joking, but no one expected that the next moment, Kai's crow's mouth would be effective.
Marcus's wife Theresa took the phone and handed it to Mike. As soon as Mike put the receiver to his ear, he was frightened by a roar and immediately took the phone away.
"Okay, boss, maybe you're saying, 'Get over here right now?'"
Immediately there was another roar. Then he hung up.
"Well, maybe not..." Mike shrugged and put down the phone.
"Hey guys, get your butts up, we're going to work, it looks like we're in trouble again."
Wow~~~~~!
The party is lively, and of course I feel uncomfortable if someone interrupts it.
But they don't know that this incident can be described as more than just trouble.
