Although Pepper acted a bit arrogant in front of Kai, she seemed very polite and decent when facing the senior police officers who rushed to her to apologize. Not only did she take the initiative to confess her mistake, she also expressed her apology to the top brass of the police department. And said that if any trouble occurs, she is willing to take responsibility.
Faced with such an easy-to-talk young secretary, everyone in the Chicago Police Department naturally breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether others were talking in a formal way, at least they had a decent face, which meant that there was some talk. If Pepper was direct, he would not be nice at all. Yes, then there’s really nothing to talk about.
Of course, just because Pepper behaved so appropriately, it didn't mean that she wasn't angry. On the contrary, this girl was about to be furious!
But his excellent professionalism makes Pepper always remember that he does not only represent himself. She's Tony Stark's secretary! Although Tony might not care much about his secretary losing his temper, Pepper couldn't do that. She was just a secretary. Although Tony trusted her, it was precisely because of this that Pepper could no longer use Tony's influence at will.
Seeing Adam again brought more joy to Pepper. When the relationship ended, there was no question of who was right or wrong, it was just because of each other's naivety. People always have a special feeling about their first love. Even though many people have actually forgotten the appearance of their first love, every time they recall that relationship, they will consciously or unconsciously add filters and beautiful backgrounds to that time. In short, everything is good.
But in fact, most people's first love is a skinny girl and a stupid boy, secretly doing some actions that they think are mature. There needs to be a camera to record those things. It doesn't take long, it only takes five years, which is enough to make both parties involved feel ashamed. It is tantamount to a public execution!
Of course, there is probably no idiot in the world who would actually do this.
In short, when encountering the beauty of the past, a small fire ignited in Pepper's heart unconsciously. Strictly speaking, that is just a kind of self-deception, just like everyone of any age thinks that the era when they were children was the best.
This is a common phenomenon, and Pepper is naturally not exempt from it.
It's not that Pepper really plans to have something happen with 'Adam', but there is still a slight longing for her.
But this little hope was ruthlessly shattered by Kai.
Even now, Pepper can't understand why Adam treats her like this. Is it because her father shot him?
Pepper was thinking about all this while dealing with the influx of condolences and concerns.
…
On the other side, the Chicago Police Department also learned what happened, and it was not complicated. Wasn't it the young master's secretary who wanted to see the crime scene on a whim, and was arrested by a policeman who was not very good at it?
Things are simple and not complicated at all.
But the key lies in the identity of the two people.
Needless to say, Pepper, the mayor of Chicago has to smile when he comes. And the other one, what should I say? If that guy were a Chicago police officer, he would probably be transferred to the records office tomorrow and spend the rest of his life in that moldy office ready to rot.
But the problem is that the identity is not simple either.
It’s not that status is so valuable, the key is that others are not under their control! Someone else is the Sheriff of Garder, Minnesota!
And it’s not like others have no background at all. Everyone in the upper echelons of the police department knows how fierce this guy is, and the entire Chicago police force still owes someone a favor!
Neither of these two points matters too much to the Chicago police. Compared to Stark, this giant Buddha, all the bullshit and snake gods are nonsense. But...we are always afraid of but, after adding the two together, the Chicago police really have no good solution.
In any case, others still offended Miss Pepper because of their Chicago police case. If they were really that careless, the reputation of the Chicago police would be completely ruined.
So the Chicago police acted like a thief and deflected the conflict, giving William and Mills a beating. It was not their fault anyway, but it was also their fault.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. Pepper obviously knew the two police officers handling the case, and actually interceded for them in turn.
Knowing this, the Chicago Police Department can all retire early and go home if they don't already know what to do.
As a result, the storm passed quietly.
…
While William and Kay continued to track down the owner of those fingerprints, Mills returned to the hotel with a somewhat guilty Trish and a still angry Pepper.
Mills felt that he was the most unlucky. Although he was not punished, he was temporarily removed from the investigation of the "Seven Deadly Sins" case. The Chicago police thought that since Kay was so interested in this case, they might as well let him continue the investigation, and also It's enough to have William, the legend of the Chicago police, by your side. As for Mills…
Is there anything more important now than protecting Miss Pepper?
Mills has always wanted to prove himself, and the 'Seven Deadly Sins' serial murder case is obviously an opportunity.
But seeing his wife's guilty look, Mills forced himself to suppress his disappointment and acted indifferently.
"What's so great about him! Why did he treat me like that? He still had to handcuff me! By the way, there are those two Bichi! There's obviously something wrong with the way they looked at Adam! Did the Chicago police specifically recruit female police officers? Recruiting vixens? Their eyes are almost glued to Adam!"
This kind of situation rarely appears in Miss Pepper, the assistant to the president of Stark Group. But as Tracy's best friend, Pepper, this kind of complaint is not uncommon. After coming out of the police station, Pepper turned into a resentful woman and complained about Kai and everyone around him.
Tracy could only apologize. She knew her best friend's temperament, and she rarely complained, but once she thought about it like this, it meant that she was really angry. And this also shows that Pepper does have extraordinary feelings for Adam, otherwise Pepper would not be like this.
Mills and Pepper didn't get along much. Most of the time, Pepper was a qualified white-collar elite. So facing Pepper like this, Mills was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, Pepper. No matter what, it's our fault. We shouldn't have been there. Officer Kai did nothing wrong." Tracy could only comfort Pepper.
"What do you mean it's our fault? I didn't know no one was allowed to enter there!"
This is a bit nonsense, but this is in front of her best friend. Pepper feels that she doesn't need to pretend, so she just says it when she's unhappy. Is it true that being tight at all times is everything in life? This isn't work, and she doesn't need to worry too much about how she behaves.
…
After returning to the hotel, the three of them couldn't sleep. After all, it was too exciting tonight, so they took a bottle of red wine and chatted while drinking.
"By the way, why do you all call him Kai?" Pepper has always been curious about this, and at first she thought it was the nickname they gave Adam. After all, the name Kai is quite famous in the West, and the legend of the King of Knights is widely spread.
"That's his name. I'm still wondering why you keep calling him Adam?" Mills thought it would be nice to sit quietly on the sofa with Tracy sometimes, drinking and chatting.
"Did he change his name?" Pepper tilted her head and leaned on the back of the sofa, muttering to herself. Then Pepper thought of something else. "By the way, does Adam have a high status in your Chicago Police Department? Why does your chief have a weird expression when I talk about him to you?"
It's not like Pepper didn't think about using his influence to get the police station to punish Kai. But Pepper still held back. Firstly, she didn't want to do this to her first love, and secondly, she also needed to worry about the impact. So she just mentioned it briefly, hoping that the police station could give Adam a hard time as revenge. But the police chief's expression was very strange at that time, and she was sure she saw it right. Then the police chief changed the subject and refused to answer the question at all.
Mills was a little embarrassed now.
After encountering Kai and two beautiful policewomen at the scene that day, Mills learned about Kai's information privately.
It didn't matter if he didn't understand. The exaggeration of other people's resumes made Mills suspect that he and Kai were not in the same profession. Looking at others, I just became the local police chief in March this year, and it has been out of control since then.
The first time I encountered it was a big case!
Nearly a ton of laundry! The information that followed became even more explosive. In addition to those situations that could not be recorded, the other information that could be viewed was far beyond Mills' imagination. For example, he took several teammates and rushed into the gang's lair, starting from the first floor. Cleaning up all the way to the top floor, they killed more than sixty people in total! Thousands of bullets fired!
More than 100 people were arrested, 6 million US dollars in cash, more than 300 guns, and hundreds of kilograms of drugs were seized, and 9 gangsters who tried to rob the drugs were killed on the spot!
Next, Chicago's 21st Bureau was attacked by gangsters. He led the police to resist again, and finally killed 6 gangsters. This number has been smeared out, but it’s still a double digit!
Later, he returned to Jiade Town and cracked another drug transportation case. A record-breaking 227 kilograms of illegal drugs were seized on the spot!
What followed was a car chase. Kai and his companions killed one killer on the spot and then captured the other. Although in the end the killer was silenced.
This information may not seem like much, but in the eyes of Mills, who is also a police officer, it is different.
Let's put it this way, Mills started working as a police officer after retiring from the army. Counting the time, it has been five years now. But in the past five years, to be honest, Mills has shot very few times, let alone killed people. This is normal, many police officers have never shot anyone in their lives.
A man like Kay, who had been a police officer for less than a year and killed more than fifty people, seemed like a fairy tale to Mills!
Thinking of this, Mills understood why he felt afraid of Kai before! There is no way, others are really awesome!
"Well... how should I put it? He is not from our Chicago Police Department. He is the Sheriff of Garter Town."
"wt? Where?"
"Guardian Town!"
Of course Pepper knew this town. "Then why can he..."
Mills understood what Pepper meant. Didn't he just want to ask why a small-town sheriff could order the Chicago police?
Although the police station has confidentiality rules, many things cannot be disclosed to outsiders at will. It can be seen that due to Pepper's identity, the police department's confidentiality is indeed not a secret to her, so Mills slightly revealed some of Kai's great achievements.
But even these seriously deleted things left Pepper shocked and speechless.
She never thought that the shy and extremely pious academic student would one day become a tough police detective!
…
"We found the owner of the fingerprint!" The police officers from the technical section found the owner of the fingerprint from the police station's fingerprint database as quickly as possible.
The suspect, who calls himself Victor but whose real name is Theodore Allen, has suffered from severe mental illness for a long time. His parents traded him a harsh Christian bargain as a child, but he later left them. Victor has a very extensive criminal record: theft, drug trafficking, assault on women, illegal possession of firearms, armed robbery, and even a record of assaulting a police officer. He was jailed multiple times, including three years ago for assaulting a minor, and was only released a year ago.
Interestingly, Kay also saw two unexpected names in his information, the first being 'Gould'. The defense attorney who was killed.
It was because of him that Victor was released after less than two years in prison.
And the second name is also an acquaintance - the policeman who took Victor to jail - Mills!
Victor committed the crime in Springfield!
The person who caught this bastard was Mills, who was still a police officer in Springfield at the time. After Mills caught Victor, he couldn't restrain his anger and beat up the bastard. At that time, the Springfield Police Department removed Mills from the case in order to avoid trouble. But in the final courtroom, because Mills's colleagues mentioned the incident in court, the defense lawyer seized on the loophole and reversed the situation in one fell swoop, making many of the police's evidence no longer credible.
As a result, the originally iron-clad case came to an end, and Victor was only sentenced to two years in prison. Even if a psychiatrist hadn't confirmed that Victor had the ability to bear legal responsibility at that time, maybe under Gould's defense, this guy could be acquitted.
It is said that at that time, because of this, Mills beat that colleague...
"This is not the murderer we are looking for, he can only be the next victim!"
Chicago police speculated that this man was the murderer, but Kay firmly denied it.
"I read this guy's information, and he is just a pathological idiot! The murderer we are looking for is a highly educated, rigorous character, with strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, and judging from the means of committing crimes, he is not a simple In order to kill the victim, he was more like giving a 'teaching'! Remember the messages he left behind? He was condemning those people! He wanted to wake the world up! He was preaching! This shows that he is A devout believer may even believe that he is chosen by God! But the Victor in front of him... is a rotten person! A rotten man with no merits, a rotten man who cannot even basic self-control!"
