Diana's arrival even caused a sensation in the entire police detective bureau. There is no shortage of beauties in Chicago, but there are very few like Diana.
First of all, Diana was beautiful. There is no doubt about this. A tall and fit figure is the dream of every woman and the gift of every man. Her facial features are delicate but elegant, and she does not have the feeling of Xiaojiabiyu. Especially the heroic spirit between her eyebrows makes her have an indescribable nobility.
What's even more exciting is that she always has a wild beauty about her. This wild beauty is not reflected through actions or words, but is the kind that comes out naturally. Everyone who sees her seems to see a noble person. A female warrior appeared on the battlefield holding a long sword and scolded Fang Qiu. At the same time, she has a very subtle intellectual beauty and a very contradictory feeling, but it does not appear to be abrupt, but is perfectly balanced and integrated with the ambition beauty in her.
This temperament is very unique, making her stand out from the crowd wherever she goes and becoming the focus of everyone.
Although the joke between Marcus and Mike just now was a joke, it has to be said that they were both tempted. At least Mike was serious. If Caizhen had given him Diana's name and phone number at that time, he would have 100% rushed over. tease.
"Why are you here?" The office area is obviously not suitable for talking about things, and the group of animals from the Police Detective Bureau have been watching eagerly. So Kai took Diana to a coffee shop outside the police station.
"I..." Diana was a little embarrassed to say.
Seeing her like this, Kai remembered what happened yesterday.
"You didn't find it?" Kai said with a smile.
In the eyes of others, Diana was a strong woman, but in Kai's eyes, she was just a little girl, not that Kai thought she was older than her. But Kai always felt that Diana had experienced too little. She spent most of her life on Paradise Island, Paradise Island, Paradise Island. It was really a paradise, everything was like the Garden of Eden. This is good, but it is not suitable for growing up. Although Diana is not young, in fact, her experience is really lacking.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with this. Diana's character has a large proportion of kindness and purity, and it's very comfortable to get along with this kind of person. But impulsivity is inevitable.
"I found the archives room, but there are only files from the past twenty years, and there are no files from further back..." Diana said depressedly.
Kai smiled. "I wanted to remind you right then, but who told you to run so fast?"
As he spoke, Kai took out his phone.
"Hi, William. How's your good fellow doing?"
William was delighted by Kay's call.
"As usual, take Mills with you and let's talk about the case with Matthew." William has been having a fulfilling life recently, taking his partner Mills with him while helping Matthew investigate the King in Yellow cult case. William was originally preparing to retire, but after seeing Mills, he felt like he had seen his younger self, especially Mills' pursuit of justice, which made William's old car full of motivation again. At least until Mills truly grew up, he did not plan to retired.
"Oh, what's the point? Did you gain anything?" When talking about the cult case, Kai became a little more interested. Dean and Sam said that this Church of the King in Yellow is not an ordinary cult that cheats money. They Very mysterious and possessing supernatural powers.
"The harvest was not much, but I found a few names. Sam Tuttle, this man was prosecuted by the police for molesting children in 1963. But later nothing happened. At the same time, it was in the police files at the time. There were the 'King in Yellow' and 'Kakosa'. By the way, Sam Tuttle also established a Tuttle Church and a foundation at that time, so I followed this clue and looked it up. You Guess what I found?”
Kai has always admired Old William's business abilities. No one in Chicago knows the black and white aspects of the entire city better than him, and his network of contacts is extremely terrifying.
"What?"
"Remember that bishop? His last name was Tuttle."
The Bishop of the Diocese of Chicago, Billy Lee Tuttle, is also the person in charge of the church's public welfare activities. He initiated and presided over the Siyuan Plan to build public welfare schools across the state, and he is considered the biggest suspect in the cult case.
"Then I continued to search according to this surname, and found many people from the Tuttle family, including our state senator Edwin Tuttle, who is also a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. But interestingly, "Few, very few people know that he and Bishop Billy Lee Tuttle were cousins."
There are only 100 members in the Senate of the United States Congress, and each state in the United States is represented in the Senate by only two members. Senators are generally white elites with high social status, wealth and power. They have the right to vote on some of the president's proposals; many important domestic and foreign treaties must be voted by the senators, and the Senate has set up committees for various purposes. (and its subcommittees), including review of bills and oversight of the executive branch.
Most committee business is carried out by 16 standing committees, each of which has jurisdiction over a specific ministry such as the Ministry of Finance or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Each standing committee reviews, amends and announces relevant bills of the ministries and commissions under its jurisdiction. In addition, the standing committees also review presidential nominations for ministries with relevant jurisdiction. (For example, the Senate Judiciary Committee reviews the nominee's judicial qualifications; the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee reviews the nominee's position in the U.S. Department of State.) Committees have additional powers over bills and personnel cases with concerns, and they can block bills and personnel cases. Enter the Senate. Standing committees also oversee executive branch ministries and their officials. To remove an official, the Standing Committee has the power to hold hearings and subpoena witnesses and relevant exhibits.
In short, the power is very powerful. In many cases, the president needs to look at their eyes if he wants to pass a certain resolution or make an appointment. As a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Edwin Tuttle has great influence on the judicial branch.
"At the same time, I also discovered that although the Tuttle Church has disappeared, the Tuttle Foundation is still operating and has a lot of involvement with many political figures. Kay, I think this case is bigger than I thought. It’s much more complicated.”
Kai originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect that it would involve so much. What's even worse is that this case has gone beyond the scope of what a policeman can handle. Not to mention, one senator alone is enough to blind Kay and Matthew.
However... this matter is not completely impossible. After all, police officers like Kai and Matthew may not be able to do anything, but Hannibal doesn't have so many worries. After all, Hannibal is a murderer and an ogre!
Thinking of this, Kai smiled and said to William: "Thank you William, if you can, I hope you will continue to investigate, of course, the prerequisite is not to let others find out. I will find a way later."
William was silent for a while and then said with a smile: "I know how to do it. An old man who is about to retire always needs a little entertainment and sustenance. Is there anything else? I'm going to a scene with Mills soon."
"Oh, I almost forgot. I still need your help with something." Diana beside her was already a little impatient.
"Of course, I'm happy to help."
"That's right. I want to check the archives of the Art Institute of Chicago. The more comprehensive the better. I wonder if you can help me?"
"The Art Institute of Chicago?" William was a little surprised, but didn't ask much. If Kai wants to say it, he will. "Let me ask one more question, do you want a normal file, or a... you know?"
"Of course it's what you said."
"Hmm...let me think about it. Yes, I have a friend..." William always had the right friend like this.
Kay used a napkin to write down the name and phone number of William's friend before hanging up with William.
Diana immediately went to get the napkin, but Kai took it back.
"you……"
"You are too conspicuous and will leave traces. I will find someone to help you deal with it."
For a beautiful woman like Diana to do something like this, it would leave such a deep impression on others that it could lead to bad things. Whoever stole the statue of Ares from the Louvre was definitely not an ordinary person. Diana would attract attention at any time if she went to investigate so carelessly.
"Then what should I do?" The purpose of Diana's coming to Chicago was to find the Ares statue, but now Kai asked her not to participate.
"Just do what you have to do." Kai said with a smile.
…
That afternoon, Kai drove to an office building on the Gold Coast, where Lingdie Entertainment was located. It's hard to imagine that the headquarters of a gang is in a place like the Gold Coast, where land is so valuable.
In fact, the Voodoo Gang has been undergoing transformation in recent years. But no one expected that they would turn so hard, jumping directly from gangster stories to entertainment stories.
Arriving at the 43rd floor of the building, the entire floor belongs to Lingdie Entertainment. When Kai came to the front desk, the lady at the front desk was very polite and asked him if he had an appointment...
When a police officer comes to see a gang boss, he still needs to make an appointment. Kai felt that this style of painting was getting weirder and weirder.
There was no other way, Kai could only call Elizabeth. Fortunately, the big boss of Lingdie Entertainment is at the company today.
Elizabeth personally led Kai through the modern office area and into her office.
Seeing Elizabeth's office, Kai felt that her transformation was the right choice. Damn, this office was so luxurious, not to mention the facilities. The most important thing was that she also bought an oversized office in her office. The Japanese-style lounge has tatami floors, and what’s even more outrageous is that there is a pond and bamboo in the lounge!
You know, this is the inside of a skyscraper!
"Is it so easy to make money in the entertainment industry now?" Kai didn't know much about the entertainment industry in his previous life, and he had no interest in those celebrities. But I never thought that a gangster could make so much money in the entertainment industry.
Elizabeth knelt down with her skirt very elegantly, then helped Kai pour a cup of tea, and then said slowly: "It's a little worse than drug trafficking, but it's not bad."
Whether or not the entertainment industry makes money is really a matter of opinion. Anyway, Lingdie thinks it's very profitable. This is also the reason why she led the gang to transform. Although you can still make money by fighting and killing all day long, the variables are too high, so you might as well be in the entertainment industry as insurance.
Kai has never had any preference for tea. Not all Chinese people like to drink tea. He prefers boiled water, especially hot boiled water. Drinking it slurpingly, it’s very refreshing. Kai could accept the tea, but not to the extent of liking it.
As for the Japanese matcha that Elizabeth poured, Kai didn't like it even more.
"I need to do you a favor to repay my favor." Kai made the request directly.
Elizabeth didn't dislike Kay's straightforward style.
"Can."
"I want you to help me find a group of vampires." Kai looked into Elizabeth's eyes. "Don't tell me you don't know what happened in the city recently?"
Elizabeth did not deny it, but said: "Not enough."
"What?"
"I don't owe you enough favors to help you find those vampires. I can tell you that the identities of those vampires are not ordinary. Giving you information about them is a huge risk for me." Elizabeth is not like a gangster. The boss is more like a businessman, but looking around, she is indeed not a gang boss, at most she is a businessman doing illegal business.
Kai wasn't angry either, as long as he could do it.
"What do you want?" Businessmen naturally need transactions. Kai doesn't mind giving a little.
Elizabeth laughed, expecting these words. She really wanted to have a good relationship with Kai, but after all, they had too little contact with each other, and it was too early to start a friendship now. It was better to each get what they needed. As long as they had more contacts, friendship would naturally develop.
"I know you know Tony Stark. I want you to help talk to him so that my artists can participate in the exhibition's performances." As mentioned before, the scale of the exhibition is very large and international. , and more importantly, the influence and attention are very large, and the entertainment industry needs influence and attention.
As long as there is exposure, the artists of Lingdie Entertainment can get a lot of benefits.
"Um... I'm not familiar with Tony Stark." It's true that we are not familiar with each other. We have only met each other twice, so we are not familiar with each other.
"But you are familiar with his secretary. There is no need for Tony Stark to say anything about this kind of thing. Just a word from his secretary will be enough." Elizabeth knew everything.
Kai hesitated.
"That's all you ask for? I can give you money or other benefits." Kai Xiang didn't like the idea of going through the back door very much. Especially since the target was Pepper. Anyway, Kai felt embarrassed every time he saw her.
Elizabeth naturally refused. She is making money now. The more famous her artists are, the more she will earn, and she can earn it for a long time. Kai can only give her money once. How could she not tell which one was more cost-effective?
