Chapter 407: Art Exhibition (4500 words for a monthly pass)
Kai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. "I'm very busy, so I won't get involved in your case."
Hearing that Kai was unwilling to intervene, Marcus was a little frustrated. He didn't blame Kai. After all, the case had reached a dead end. Bringing Kai in would most likely mean that one more person would take the blame. Others don't want to be blamed.
Common sense.
"But... I can give you some information." Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. Marcus immediately looked at Kai expectantly. Although he didn't know what information Kai could get, Kai always gave people a sense of reassurance.
It feels like any trouble will be solved easily by his hands.
Kay wrote down a phone number.
"Call this number and tell me my name, and they will give you the information you want."
Marcus took the phone number, a little hesitant. He really wanted to know who the person on the other side of the phone was, but according to the informant protection regulations, the identity of the informant needs to be protected. Unless necessary, they have no right to know Kai.
Informant. But he was really curious. After all, it was related to the safety of his sister, and he still hoped to be safer.
Seeing Marcus' concerns, Kai patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, my informant is absolutely reliable."
Just as Teresa was looking for him, Kai left his seat and went to Teresa's office.
Mike watched Marcus struggling with the phone number, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed the phone number and started dialing.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Marcus stood up and tried to snatch the phone number back, but Mike pushed him away.
"Do we have any other options now? Since we have such an opportunity, why don't we try it?" Mike felt that since they were now in a dilemma, they might as well give it a try. Although it may not work, but if they don't try, then
It will definitely not succeed.
…
While Marcus and Mike were on the phone, Kay was called into the office by Theresa.
"Be prepared. In two days, the Secret Service personnel at the White House will communicate with you about Mr. President's security in Chicago." When she said this, Teresa looked at Kai with a very strange look.
After hearing this, Kai was confused. How could he, a young detective from the Chicago Police Department, be involved with the White House and the President's security? Isn't this even more ridiculous? When the President of the United States goes to a place, it is not the local police force.
The White House Secret Service is responsible for the security around the president and even the security along the route the president passes. The local police are always on hand.
It is said that the reason why this happened was related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The performance of the police in Dallas, Texas at that time was so poor that after the assassin was caught, he was shot dead by a tavern owner under the protection of the police...
…
Although this incident had the air of conspiracy everywhere, the performance of the police in Dallas, Texas was indeed very poor, so the security of the White House later relied more on the Secret Service. After all, no president would be willing to repeat what happened to Kennedy.
In short, this kind of thing should never have anything to do with a small policeman like him. Even if security issues need to be communicated, it should be the boss of the police station who comes forward, right?
"Does this have anything to do with me?"
Theresa's expression became even weirder when she heard Kai's question.
"Originally, Director Cooper went there personally for this communication, but the Secret Service asked you to go by name... It is said to be the president's request."
Teresa also didn't expect that Kai's network of connections was so wide. Even the president knew about him! It was so enviable.
"President? Benjamin?" Kai immediately thought of the presidential candidate he had saved. Kai knew that he became president, but apart from introducing work to Duke, Kai did not have much contact with Benjamin. Unexpectedly,
This guy actually remembered him and named him to be in charge of security.
"Do you know Mr. President?" Teresa was very curious about what relationship Kai had with the president.
Kai nodded and didn't hide the relationship much.
"Well, I think we know each other." But Kay couldn't say anything specific. Although Theresa was curious about how Kay knew the President of the United States, she also knew that some things about the president were not easy to reveal casually.
explain.
"Well, don't take on any more cases recently. After you take charge of the art exhibition, go directly to the Secret Service."
The longer Teresa spends time with Kai, her subordinate, the more difficult it becomes for her. The information Teresa knows now is already very good.
First of all, rich! Very rich.
On the first day of work, I drove a limited edition original Cobra 427. That car cost at least seven figures! And it also had a very big house. In short, no matter how you look at it, you are a wealthy person, but this guy
But he came to be a policeman.
Forget it, just think of it as a quirk of a rich man. But the problem is, he is really good at being a policeman. When he was a small town Sherf, he had already made great achievements in war. Files on the bright side
, he killed at least more than a hundred people!
It doesn't matter if you can fight, the key is that you can handle cases.
In short, everything is good. Now he is even more awesome. His connections are so good that Teresa doesn’t know whether to envy him or not. Not only does he know Tony Stark, but he is also related to the president!
Sometimes Teresa is a little scared when she thinks back on it. She doesn't know how to deal with such an awesome subordinate under her. Should she lick him? Or should he pretend not to know? Anyway, it's quite confusing.
…
The Art Institute of Chicago, today is the first day of the official exhibition of the art show.
This joint exhibition will last for about a week starting today, and the expo will also be held during this period, which can be regarded as a disguised increase in popularity.
When Kai drove up, there were already many people queuing up.
Although it is always said that the United States is the world's most powerful country, this country is still too young. As a country, the United States is not young. It has been two hundred years, but as a society, the United States is really, really young.
For example, many people talk about European culture, Chinese culture, etc., but few people talk about American culture. If we go forward a few decades, many Europeans think that the United States is a culturally barbaric place. Strictly speaking,
It seems that American culture can only be counted as a branch of British culture. It has not formed a so-called nation. Even now, Americans still divide people into British, German, Italian, Irish, African, and Asian.
Descendants and so on.
So even in modern times, the United States is still a little unconfident in art and other cultures, and they prefer European art. Therefore, this joint exhibition between the Louvre and the Art Museum of Chicago still attracted many people to watch the exhibition.
There are not many people who really come to appreciate art. After all, no matter which country it is, artists are always in the minority. Most people here come to see the fun. After all, not every American can afford a trip to France.
.
Kai, the policeman in charge of security, is actually very boring. There are local police outside to maintain order, and there are museum and Louvre security inside. Kai really needs to do very little, and he spends most of his time wandering around.
But Diana and Kelly are very busy.
Kelly has been following Diana these days and rarely even returns home, although their home is still being renovated. But these days, except for phone calls, Kelly has hardly seen Kelly.
Just a few days after Kelly disappeared, several urban legends suddenly spread in Chicago.
It is said that there were two crazy women who dressed up in strange clothes and went around doing chivalry at night.
In the past two days, the media has begun to discuss this. Some media have called these two female superheroes. Some media that pay attention to political correctness even put them on the level of women's rights fighters. What do you mean, they are resisting the patriarchal society.
Pioneer and so on. Everything.
Others sneered at this, believing that this kind of behavior was not only illegal, but would also bring hidden dangers to social security. Most importantly, it would cause some people to imitate it, which in short was not good.
But no matter which side of the media, after relying on the two female superheroes, they all began to criticize the Chicago police.
They all believe that it is precisely because of Chicago's poor public security that this kind of behavior of responding to violence with violence was born.
This made the Chicago police very helpless. Two days ago they were praising someone as "Britney", and within two days they started to criticize her again.
However, the Chicago police are used to this. After all, criticizing the government and the police is considered absolutely politically correct in the media. On the contrary, the media speaks for the government and is easily criticized. Therefore, the police do not treat the two "female superheroes" very well.
Take heart.
This is Chicago, and we really don’t want too many mavericks. The ones being punished are just small gangsters anyway. They don’t know how to call the police, so they are not worth paying attention to. In addition, the two of them didn’t cause any big trouble, so they just turned a blind eye.
In the past, the police were very busy. Who would waste precious police resources on such 'cos enthusiasts'?
If we really go to arrest these two people with great fanfare, believe it or not, the entire Chicago media will have a carnival the next day.
Rather than doing this, it is better to pretend that you don’t know anything.
But Kay knew very well that this cliffhanger was caused by Diana and Kelly.
Let's not talk about Diana. A passionate girl, even if she is hundreds of years old, cannot change this. As for Kelly... As an avid superhero comic fan, what can be better than letting her experience the daily life of superheroes firsthand?
What excites her more?
In the exhibition hall today, Kelly said hello to Kai and ran away with a group of classmates. Kelly is now Diana's temporary assistant, and the school is happy to see this happen. After all, this is a
It was a great opportunity for social practice, and even a special leave was granted to Kelly.
This also made Kelly famous in school. Many classmates approached Kelly, hoping to get so-called "internal tickets". After all, a ticket is not cheap.
In short, Kelly doesn't care about his man at all now.
And Diana is also very busy. As one of the people in charge of this exhibition, she needs to entertain celebrities from all walks of life. This is one of her jobs, and of course she has to complete it.
So Kai could only wander around the venue alone.
While Kai was wandering around, a nun entered the venue with a young man.
It's just that this nun is not as steady as ordinary nuns. Instead, she is holding a large glass of juice, slurping loudly through the straw, and jumping up and down, looking very happy. On the contrary, the young man next to him looks very steady, but his hands
He was carrying several large bags, which looked a bit funny.
"Sister Catherine, is it really okay for us... to find the heroine like this?"
The young man avoided everyone's surprised gazes in embarrassment and whispered to the nun.
"What's the problem?" The nun seemed very relaxed. She was chatting even more cheerfully while walking around, holding a straw in her mouth. Because she was chattering so loudly, the people watching the exhibition all around her cast dissatisfied glances.
But as soon as those eyes came into contact with the nun's face, they immediately turned into surprise.
Because this nun is really beautiful, the kind of beauty that makes you think twice at a glance. She is very attractive. Even men, even women, are attracted to her unconsciously.
"Well... I thought we would be more formal. After all... that is a real superhero! And it is very likely to be an ancestor-level superhero." When the young man mentioned the person he wanted to meet, his expression changed.
Got excited.
"Eggsy, don't think of Diana as so mysterious. She is just a stupid woman with a bad temper. If you think of her so high, you will be very disappointed when you meet her."
"Sister Catherine... you can't say that..." The young man named Eggsy just wanted to retort, but the nun didn't listen to him at all and left directly.
The nun is naturally Catherine who came from England. In fact, Catherine should have come to Chicago a long time ago. But this nun, who is over a hundred years old, has lived in seclusion in the monastery for too many years, so after being exposed to modern society, she has no understanding of everything.
I'm very curious. I don't know if it was because I was held in for a long time, which caused my personality to become extremely willful.
I changed my mind temporarily and decided to go to Los Angeles to see Hollywood and New York for shopping...
This resulted in repeated delays in the trip.
Eggsy is the assistant sent to Catherine by Kingsman. To put it bluntly, he is the bag-carrying boy. He is the apprentice of Harry Hart, the current leader of Kingsman and the new 'Arthur', and he has inherited Harry Hart.
Formerly codenamed 'Galahad', he officially drank the Holy Grail and became a Kingsman agent, one of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.
What’s interesting is that Eggsy is the first Kingsman agent born as a civilian in the history of Kingsman. In the past, Kingsman agents were only recruited from aristocratic circles, and Eggsy’s ancestors
Eighteen generations of common people... no aristocratic blood at all. He is also the result of 'Arthur' Harry Hart's reform of Kingsman. Harry Hart feels that as the nobility is gradually weakening, Kingsman wants to
To develop and grow, they must adapt to the times. They need more fresh blood to keep Kingsman alive.
Before Kay's revival, this type of reform had been blocked by the conservatives represented by the previous generation 'Arthur' Alfred. After they lost their loyal master, they cared more and more about what the master left behind, and they did not allow even a trace of it.
changes.
But everything changed when Kai returned and the Holy Grail began to recover. Alfred seemed to be decades younger and had found the meaning of life again. For Kingsman, he also chose to let go and let Harry
Hart became a new generation of 'Arthur', no longer blocking Harry Hart's reforms.
In fact, he also knew very well that if he continued to hold on to the old thinking, Kingsman would inevitably decline. After all, the decline of the British aristocracy after World War I was visible to the naked eye. But at that time, Alfred had already lost his goal in life.
He instinctively hates change. But now, what he thinks is different. He hopes that when he sees his master again, he can deliver a brand new, more powerful Kingsman into his master's hands.
This is a bit far-fetched. Let’s go back to the two of us.
Their purpose this time was naturally to find the statue of Ares, the God of War, and Diana, the Wonder Woman.
There is very little information about Wonder Woman among the people. In modern times, almost no one knows about Wonder Woman's deeds. After the Allied Powers won World War I, they all chose to downplay the supernatural events that occurred that year.
But that certainly doesn't apply to Kingsman, which has all the detailed files on what happened back then.
As a Kingsman who came from the streets, Eggsy naturally admired this kind of superhero. After learning about his mission, Eggsy was excited for many days.
