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.
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 break. 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 it wasn't Wanlong Palace that did it, could the real murderer be found? If it was Wanlong Palace, how would you tell me to get 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 turn this into an unsolved 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!"
