"What do you want to talk about?" Matthew finally couldn't help asking in Kai's car.
Two guys who pretended to be state troopers were arrested by the Chicago police who arrived. These two people are indeed not state police, or they are no longer state police. They did serve as state police before, but they resigned three years ago. A police officer who had resigned actually drove a fake police car and ran out on duty with a gun. Forget it, he even planned to do evil to the Chicago police. This is a major case anyway!
Don't tell me that Matthew has resigned. He has resigned, but the police department has not approved it yet! So he is still a policeman! Killing a policeman, no matter where it is, this kind of case is definitely not a small one.
Kai smiled, threw what William had found to Matthew, and then told Matthew about William's previous guess.
After that, Matthew was silent. At first, he never expected that the case would be much more terrifying than he thought. The initial estimate given by Guangkai is that there are more than 30 victims. This is only a preliminary screening. If the screening is done carefully, we don’t know how many more victims will appear.
What’s even more frightening is that so many people have gone missing in Chicago and surrounding areas, and not only have the media not reported the incident at all, but even the police have not responded at all. This is not normal! This is not the energy a bishop can possess.
Secondly, he suddenly felt a kind of sadness. He planned to put his life, death and future aside to investigate this case, but in the end, the case that he thought had to cost everything was investigated in the hands of others in just one day. come out……
What does this mean? His life, death and future are so worthless.
But soon, Matthew put aside these mixed feelings.
"Then we report it immediately! As long as we have these things, we can definitely catch them all!" Matthew was very excited. He felt that what he owed those victims back then could finally be paid off! All these years, Matthew has been afraid to visit the surviving girl because he knows that Ledoux is not the real murderer, he is just an accomplice! But in order to cover up the fact that they shot Ledoux, they had to stop the investigation.
Martin forgot that, so Matthew looked down on him. This is also the reason why Matthew and Martin finally parted ways. Martin enjoyed his promotion and salary increase with peace of mind, but Matthew couldn't. He owed it to those people. Of course, this is not the reason why Matthew and Martin's wife cheated on each other, it was completely a misunderstanding.
Not only does Martin look down on Matthew with his work attitude, but his private life is also a mess. This guy had an affair seven years ago, and he and his wife had a cold war for a while. But some time ago, this guy cheated again. No, I should say , he cheated on me for a long time. It was only recently discovered by his wife.
In order to retaliate against Martin, Martin's wife found Matthew and seduced him...
At that time, Matthew took some drugs because of depression... and couldn't control it.
In short, Matthew didn't feel that Martin was innocent, but he didn't feel that he really did anything wrong. So in the face of Martin's trouble, Matthew stayed away.
"Report it? Are you serious?" Kai turned his head and said while driving.
Matthew was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly. This was the first time Matthew smiled in front of Kai, but the smile was full of bitterness. He still thinks like a policeman. Indeed, is reporting useful? Didn't he give a bunch of information to the higher-ups before, hoping that the higher-ups would approve his investigation of the archbishop?
But what's the result? He was scolded and then ordered not to touch the case again. Now it's just a repeat of the previous encounter. It could even be worse, someone comes to kill him before he even scratches the surface. If he really handed over these things in his hand, what awaited him would only be an even more terrifying revenge.
"Then what should we do? Watch those people get away with it?"
Matthew asked.
"It's that easy. Let's just let it go if I don't know about it. Now that I know about it, it's impossible to let it go." Kai had already thought about how to deal with this matter.
The whole story of this case is that a group of bored people went to believe in a cult, and then secretly kidnapped children and women to perform evil rituals. And this cult was quite powerful, so it suppressed all of this.
Religious issues are always very sensitive in the United States. The first batch of North American colonists were the excluded Protestants from Britain and the European continent. In order to prevent religious persecution, when the United States was founded, it stipulated that there should be no state religion in the United States and no religious persecution.
This was originally a good thing, but now, it has become the best soil for the development of cults. In the United States, because of religious freedom, all kinds of chaotic cults can appear openly, and such cults are often difficult to deal with. Once they are encountered, these people will talk about religious freedom and religious persecution. The key is that in this era of political correctness, they use this as an argument. Many people will habitually support them regardless of the facts. The government is often restrained because of political correctness. This has also led to the rampant cults in the United States. For many cult organizations, the government clearly knows about many of their criminal activities, but there is nothing they can do about it.
For example, a cult organization in Tennessee used religious cloak to start an underground bank business on their own territory. This underground bank is different from the general underground bank. They not only launder money and carry out loan sharking, but also provide custody services for many criminals, such as some arms and drug transactions. Some arms dealers and drug dealers will store goods in them. Church basement. The transaction was carried out with them, and the buyer came to pick up the goods from them.
What others did was fair and aboveboard. The FBI tried to shut down this cult several times, but others relied on private and religious land to disgrace the FBI. They even counter-sued the FBI for religious persecution, saying they violated the principle of religious freedom. Not only did the Supreme Court issue an injunction against the FBI, it also prohibited the FBI from harassing them anymore. He also received a substantial amount of compensation.
You can imagine how rampant these cults are.
What's more, a large church like the Catholic Church is also involved. (Catholicism is the largest church in the United States. Although there are more Protestants in the United States, Protestants do not have as strict an organizational structure as Catholicism. Protestantism advocates that anyone can talk to God directly without going through a priest or a church. Protestantism is very Loose)
Cult plus Catholicism...the combination is truly hopeless.
"Then what do you think?"
"Of course I'll have to find someone taller to support me! But that's not possible now. We have to find conclusive evidence, otherwise no one will be willing to come forward for me." Kai knows people in the FBI and believes that such a big case must be very important to the FBI. interested. The FBI is the most fearless law enforcement agency. They are not afraid of big cases, they can handle them. Of course, this does not mean that the FBI is necessarily fair and honest. On the contrary, as a bureaucratic agency, the FBI is more dirty than any other law enforcement agency.
But the problem is that the cult in front of me seems to be limited to the vicinity of Chicago, which is much easier to deal with. As long as a national organization is not involved, the FBI is still very bold. First of all, this kind of case has great influence, and secondly, the power behind it is not too big, and the FBI can resist it.
That's why Kai asked the FBI to fight the line.
"In short, you can't leave the police station now. Your identity as a police officer is particularly important to you. With this identity, those people can't do anything to you." As soon as Matthew submitted his resignation letter, others came to ask for it. His life was in danger. In this case, Matthew had only two best responses. One was to disappear. As long as he no longer appeared in the sight of those people, I believe those people would not expend too much energy. Deal with Matthew. The second is to still maintain the identity of the police and let those people take advantage of them.
The status of a police officer may not be great, but it is indeed troublesome. Once Matthew is killed, the Chicago police must give an explanation no matter how unwilling it is, otherwise all the police officers will not agree. This cult is very mysterious and few people know about it. It can be seen from this that they are not willing to be exposed to the public eye. In other words, they will not risk angering all the police and deal with Matthew at will.
Matthew fell silent and left the police station, of course because of this case. But he was also disappointed with the police station. Didn't he report this case to the police station? Reported. But what's the result? This was far from what he expected from a police station.
Kai may have seen Matthew's concerns, he said: "Don't think about the haves and have-nots, the police are there to catch bad people. You just need to know your identity."
Matthew finally nodded.
…
When Kai showed up at the police station again with Matthew, it really caused a sensation. Who in the police station doesn’t know about Matthew’s weird temper? But such a freak was actually brought back by Kai!
Teresa was happy and had a headache when she saw Matthew.
There's no telling what Matthew's abilities are, but neither is his temper. The thorny attribute is too deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm watching over him, he won't cause trouble again." Kai comforted him.
Unfortunately, Kai's comfort did not make Teresa feel relieved. On the contrary, it made her even more miserable... This was what she was worried about. From the last time he solved the robbery case, Kai was no better than that gang of problem children.
But apart from this, Teresa also discovered that Kai was not as prickly as she thought. Teresa comforted herself in her heart.
"Okay, I'll just pretend I never received this." Teresa threw Matthew's resignation letter to Matthew. Since Matthew wasn't going to leave, she couldn't drive him away. After all, there were big bosses behind others. Director Cooper is also Teresa's supporter, and there is no need for her to offend Director Cooper on this trivial matter. "But, I warn you, don't cause trouble for me again! Otherwise... I won't get better, and you can't think about it either."
"No problem!" Kai said with a reliable smile.
Teresa looked discouraged, because she might not be able to pass this hurdle, so there was no need to talk about the future. "Forget it, you go help Marcus's group. This matter is related to the jobs of all of us, including you. Don't think that you can sit back and relax because this matter has nothing to do with you. I can tell you responsibly. , if I have to leave, I will kick you out before I leave! So get the drugs back for me honestly!"
…
After leaving Teresa's office, Matthew still looked like he was dying.
"Where do you live?" Kai asked.
"how?"
"Since they are targeting you, your current residence is not safe." Kai suggested, "How about you go live with me?"
Upon hearing Kai's suggestion, Matthew's body suddenly froze, and he could barely maintain his 'fucked to death' expression. What the hell, is this guy...
It’s not that Matthew was overthinking it, after all, Kai’s suggestion was too confounding.
Contacted, Kai has always been impressed by him. He helped him detoxify when they first met, and then helped him solve the trouble caused by Martin. This time, he not only saved him, but also invited him to live together... To be honest, thinking about it now, It's true that I'm a little gay.
People in the United States value private space. Generally speaking, few people will invite their colleagues to live with them. After all, work is work and life is life, unless you want to have some super-friendship relationship!
"No... no need..."
Kai heard Matthew's tone was a bit strange, turned around and saw that he had a strange look on his face, and he still didn't understand that this guy was thinking wrongly.
"Fake, what the hell are you thinking! I have a girlfriend! And you don't live in the same house with me!" Kai bought a manor. In addition to the main house building, there are two annexes, where there are also guest rooms. . "It's just that my house is relatively big, and it's a bit too empty for just the two of us."
Hearing this, Matthew was a little embarrassed, but still a little worried. This time it was not because of Kai, but because of his own reasons. After all, given his reputation, he is the wife of his former partner... Although there is no such thing as seducing a second sister-in-law in the United States, this behavior is still very contemptible and alarming.
"I... that..." Matthew was known to be sharp when interrogating, but at this time he was too embarrassed to say it.
Kai said funny: "Although I don't know what's going on between you and Martin, I believe in my girlfriend and I am willing to believe in you."
Kai has also done some research on the whole story. In fact, there is no need to do any detailed investigation. This big gossip has spread throughout the police station. Martin's wife seems to feel sorry for Matthew, so she takes the initiative to tell others. She did this just to take revenge on Martin for seducing Matthew. .
Now the couple has begun divorce proceedings.
If it weren't for knowing this, no matter how hard he tried, Kai wouldn't have been able to bring a guy who wanted to "seduce his second sister-in-law" into his home. As for why he was so nice to Matthew... because in Kai's opinion, Matthew was more like a policeman.
It should be said that he is more like an oriental policeman. Most American police officers only regard police service as a job. There are very few people who can put their own life, death and future into investigating cases like Matthew. In the cultural atmosphere in the East that emphasizes dedication and dedication, many police officers regard their work as their mission. They do not simply classify the police as a profession to make a living.
To be honest, even in Kai's previous life, he wasn't sure whether he could reach Matthew's level. This kind of person is undoubtedly respectable. If you can, why not help him? Even if it was just for the word 'police', Kai felt that he should not stand idly by.
Just when Kai and Matthew were planning to find Marcus and Mike, the two men ran out of the police station as if they had been chased by dogs.
Kai grabbed Marcus and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's been a murder at the Governor's Hotel in Chicago, and one of the victims could very well have been Mike's informant!"
