At this moment, Little Jones's mind felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping past. The person who gave him the order was the deputy director of the headquarters who was several levels above him and had unlimited power in the entire FBI.
At this moment, in a certain room of a certain villa in the manor, someone was indeed baring his teeth and expressing anger: "This person is so hateful! I will immediately request authorization from the headquarters to arrest him on suspicion of endangering the public safety of Laos and the United States." He, even though he has a United Nations passport, the United Nations headquarters is in our Manhattan, New York!"
Another person spoke lazily and said in an unhurried tone: "I advise Mr. Douglas not to do this, otherwise you will embarrass the whole country!"
Douglas was obviously the deputy director. Hearing this, he became furious: "Croft, your weirdness makes me disgusted. Don't always act so arrogant and proud. Don't think that a state legislator can speak." Unscrupulously, the United States is the greatest country in the world, and just a small Chinese artist can embarrass us?"
The state congressman named Croft still said with a calm smile: "Mr. Douglas, I think we are not enemies, but don't try to test my patience! Although I am only a state congressman, I happen to be in charge of California's taxation. Question, if you don’t want the FBI’s budget in California to be severely reduced next year, apologize to me immediately!”
This person's words obviously carry a lot of weight. Although Douglas is the deputy director from the FBI headquarters, if a branch in a certain state does not receive enough funding for political participation in the coming year, even a senior position will be impeached. Step down.
The United States is a federal country. Each state has its own large independent powers, and even the law has its own exclusive power to govern. Although the FBI, which spreads its net everywhere, has more law enforcement powers, it alone has no The right to arrest people in the country, so local magistrates have never been afraid of them.
Moreover, it is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice and does not have the absolute power of the CIA to be directly responsible to the president. Being subject to state governments is its biggest weakness.
Before the furious Douglas could react, Croft ignored him and looked at another person who looked like an FBI officer: "Lakins, you are the director of the California branch and the local police chief." We have the most interactions, and you are now in charge of the SWAT team of the Sheriff’s Office. What do you think of this matter?”
Larkins is a tall and tough man, and there was not a black man in the room at this time: "I did not agree with Director Douglas's proposal before, because he lacked local management experience, and he lacked the ability to face Liu Qingshan. Such a person has a deeper understanding that there is an immature side in making decisions without authorization. The most serious problem is that he does not seem to understand what a United Nations passport is, and it is a special red passport!"
"Then why didn't you stop him on the spot?"
"The first tenet of the FBI's creed is fidelity. He is my superior in terms of rank, and subordinates have the responsibility to strictly follow the orders of their superiors!"
"Then please explain to your boss what a red UN passport is!"
Larkins immediately turned around and faced Douglas with a standard military salute before speaking: "The red UN pass is issued to special senior officials, or key position members of subordinate agencies with D-2 or above qualifications, Liu Qingshan
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Mr.’s red UN pass was personally signed and issued by the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Not only the holder, but also his entourage and his family members are entitled to international visa-free, fast customs clearance, security inspection, etc. convenience, as well as the diplomatic immunity of the country where the non-citizen is located! "
Croft looked at Douglas, whose expression was still changing rapidly, with a hint of the yin and yang in his tone before: "Let me help you popularize it a little more, that is, Liu Qingshan is currently equivalent to the top executive of the United Nations, and as far as I know , his special treatment is due to the fact that in just one year, he has donated more than tens of millions of dollars to the Charity Federation under the name of the United Nations, and he has enough qualifications to obtain it! This is why I said you will make the entire country look bad. Everyone will feel embarrassed!”
Larkins added without discernment. Obviously her relationship with this person was not very harmonious: "Liu Qingshan usually uses the media to spread the word to the world, and he will use it at any level of press conferences. Sufficient evidence! That suspected violation of power that Frank intended to find out about him was also directly ordered by you, right? Including this Little Jones just now, have you ever thought that Liu Qingshan or his apprentice really beat him on the spot? What impact will having him have on the overall image of the FBI?"
The muscles on Douglas's face squirmed into an ugly expression in a very short period of time: "However, this foreigner's behavior was too arrogant and beat my subordinate into a vegetative state. I really can't swallow the bad breath in my heart!"
Croft shrugged helplessly at Larkins: "Report it. This person is obviously not suitable for the job here. I suggest that your California branch be responsible for this matter!"
Without any hesitation, Larkins immediately dialed the phone on the desk: "I, the Director of the California Division, Joseph Larkins, would like to request the headquarters to grant special permission to serve as the temporary prosecutor in the case of Bundy Phil's assassination yesterday. Sponsor, Theodore Croft of California seconded this proposal and is here now!”
A deep baritone voice came from the other end of the phone: "Speak to Theodore Croft!"
Croft took the microphone: "I am Theodore Croft. I witnessed your Deputy Director Douglas's blunt and unorganized command ability on the spot, and it almost caused Mr. Liu Qingshan to target FBI agents for the second time. A serious blow to a member of the Communist Party of China. Yes, the main responsibility lies with Douglas. He twice tried to charge him with no reason and detained him without evidence. Moreover, the other party had a red pass signed and issued by the United Nations Secretary-General! Okay, Well, the California Assembly will note immediately, OK, I understand!”
Then, he handed the microphone to Douglas expressionlessly.
The latter took it and listened for a long time. Although he kept nagging self-defense, he closed his mouth when a heavy "bang" sound was heard very clearly from the other side, and sat down. There was no words in the chair for a long time.
Shortly afterwards, Larkins' cell phone kept ringing. He immediately opened the text message, took a look at it, and handed it to Croft: "Dear Mr. Congressman, the headquarters has temporarily appointed me as the specific person in charge of this case. , a formal announcement will be issued to the relevant departments later!”
Croft nodded and smiled: "Then take office immediately. On behalf of the head of the California Assembly Emergency Response Team, I specifically authorize the California branch of the FBI to save the life of FBI agent Frank at all costs. You have the right to Temporarily decide on the bargaining chip and can do it without declaring it
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Make your own judgment, and then you will get a half chance of approval by the California Assembly! "
Larkins responded with a smile that was neither humble nor condescending: "There must be a rough range for the specific chips, right?"
"It's impossible for me to provide you with a specific amount now. Besides, I don't think Mr. Liu's purpose is money, otherwise he would be suspected of extortion afterwards. Do you think he is stupid?"
"Did he fall in love with those Chinese herbal medicines?"
"You are the head of the FBI, and you must pay more attention to evidence when you speak! The existing evidence cannot prove that those medicinal materials are Chinese herbal medicines, and the entire review process will take at least more than a month. Do you think Mr. Liu has the patience and time to wait? Wait for us to go through the process?"
"But we are not doctors, and we don't know much about Chinese traditional medicine. In my eyes, those herbal medicines are just a bunch of weeds!"
"Since it is a weed, you should make your own decision. Always remember that Frank's life is the most important. The security captain of UFC is an example. The longer the treatment is delayed, the less likely Mr. Liu will be. It’s easy to agree!”
In just a few words, the two people identified certain stolen goods. Moreover, in the eyes of most Westerners, such things were indeed just worthless weeds.
At this time, Liu Qingshan actually had a clear understanding of the situation here. At this time, he held back his smile and said to Jiang Yuze: "I'd better drive for a while. When someone comes to see me again, tell me that I went to Phil's coffin." There’s a wake in front of me!”
The custom here in the United States is that the wake is not limited to the relatives of the deceased. It is a customary practice for anyone attending the funeral to show respect to the deceased. Of course, relatives and friends taking turns to keep the wake are indispensable.
For outsiders, this is also one of the most sincere condolences, because after seeing Liu Qingshan's arrival, although Phil's relatives and friends all looked unhappy, no one expressed indignation on such an occasion.
He muttered to himself in front of the coffin for a long time. No one could understand what he was saying because people could only hear intermittent Chinese language.
After standing there bowed for more than ten minutes, he turned around and walked back. He shook hands with the mourners present in a serious manner and patted the back of their hands with his other hand. It really looked like that.
At this moment, Larkins came here with FBI members wearing the same black plain suits.
However, they noticed with a slight embarrassment that after they had finished expressing condolences to the family members, Liu Qingshan turned around again and came to the coffin, lowering his head silently after noticing their arrival.
Even Phil's family members gradually realized the embarrassment on the Larkins' faces, so someone walked up to Liu Qingshan and whispered something.
Liu Qingshan then looked back as if he had a sudden realization. After bowing three times to the body in a polite manner, he turned around and walked over slowly.
"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry that the previous FBI agent accepted a very incorrect order, which caused you to be in a bad mood! Now the person from the headquarters has been temporarily deprived of the leadership, and it is up to me. Come instead!"
