Kai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. "I'm very busy, so I won't get involved in your case."
Hearing that Kai was unwilling to intervene, Marcus was a little frustrated. He didn't blame Kai. After all, the case had reached a dead end. Bringing Kai in would most likely mean that one more person would take the blame. Others don't want to be blamed. Common sense.
"But... I can give you some information." Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. Marcus immediately looked at Kai expectantly. Although he didn't know what information Kai could get, Kai always gave people a sense of reassurance. It feels as if any trouble will be solved by his hands.
Kay wrote down a phone number.
"Call this number and tell me my name, and they will give you the information you want."
Marcus took the phone number, a little hesitantly. He really wanted to know who the person on the other side of the phone was, but according to the informant protection regulations, the identity of the informant needed to be protected. Unless necessary, they had no right to know about Kai's informant. But he was indeed curious. After all, it was related to his sister's safety, and he still hoped to be safer.
Seeing Marcus' concerns, Kai patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, my informant is absolutely reliable."
Just as Teresa was looking for him, Kai left his seat and went to Teresa's office.
Mike watched Marcus struggling with the phone number, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed the phone number and started dialing.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Marcus stood up and tried to get his phone number back, but Mike pushed him away.
"Do we have any other options now? Since we have such an opportunity, why don't we try it?" Mike felt that since they were in a dilemma now, they might as well give it a try. Although it may not work, but if you don't try, then It will definitely not succeed.
…
While Marcus and Mike were on the phone, Kay was called into the office by Teresa.
"Be prepared. In two days, the Secret Service personnel at the White House will communicate with you about the security of Mr. President when he comes to Chicago." When she said this, Teresa looked at Kai with a very strange look.
After hearing this, Kai was confused. How could he, a young detective from the Chicago Police Department, be involved with the White House and the President's security? Isn't this even more ridiculous? When the President of the United States goes to a place, either the local police are only responsible for the perimeter or maintaining order. The White House Secret Service is responsible for the security around the President. This is also true for the security along the route the President passes. The local police have always been responsible for the security. It's a slap in the face.
It is said that the reason why this happened was related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The performance of the police in Dallas, Texas at that time was really poor. After the assassin was caught, he was actually shot dead by a tavern owner under the protection of the police... …
Although this incident had the air of conspiracy everywhere, the performance of the police in Dallas, Texas was indeed very poor, so the security of the White House later relied more on the Secret Service. After all, no president would want to repeat what happened to Kennedy.
In short, this kind of thing should never have anything to do with a small policeman like him. Even if security issues need to be communicated, it should be the boss of the police station who comes forward, right?
"Does this have anything to do with me?"
Theresa's expression became even weirder when she heard Kai's question.
"Originally, Director Cooper went there personally for this communication, but the Secret Service asked you to go by name... It is said to be the president's request."
Teresa also didn’t expect that Kai’s network of connections would be so wide. Even the president knew about him! So enviable.
"President? Benjamin?" Kai immediately thought of the presidential candidate he had saved. Kai knew that he became president, but apart from introducing Duke to work, Kai did not have much contact with Benjamin. Unexpectedly, this guy actually remembered him and named him to be responsible for security.
"Do you know Mr. President?" Teresa was very curious about what relationship Kai had with the President.
Kai nodded, not doing much to hide the relationship.
"Well, I guess we know each other." But Kai couldn't say anything specific. Although Teresa was curious about how Kai met the President of the United States, she also knew that some things about the President were not easy to talk about casually.
"Well, don't take on any more cases recently. After you take charge of the art exhibition, go directly to the Secret Service."
The longer Teresa spent time with Kai, her subordinate, the more she felt that it was not simple. The information Theresa knows now is already very good.
First of all, have money! Very rich.
On my first day at work, I drove a limited edition original Cobra 427. That car cost at least seven figures! And there is also a very big house. In short, no matter how you look at it, it is a wealthy class, but this guy just came to be a policeman.
Forget it, just think of it as a quirk of the rich. But the problem is, he is really good at being a policeman. When he was still a Sheriff (sheriff) of a small town, he had already achieved great military exploits. According to the bright side of the file, he had killed at least more than a hundred people!
It doesn't matter if you can fight, the key is that you can handle cases.
In short, anywhere is good. Now he's even more awesome. His connections are so good that Theresa doesn't know whether to envy him or not. Not only does he know Tony Stark, but he's also related to the president!
Sometimes Teresa feels a little scared when she thinks about it. She didn't know how to deal with such an awesome subordinate under her, so what about licking him? Or pretend not to know? Anyway, it’s quite confusing.
…
Today is the first official day of the art show at the Art Institute of Chicago.
This joint exhibition will last for about a week starting today. The expo will also be held during this period, which can be regarded as a disguised increase in popularity.
When Kai drove up, there were already many people queuing up.
Although it is always said that the United States is the world's most powerful country, this country is still too young. As a country, the United States is not too young. It has been two hundred years, but as a society, the United States is really, really young.
For example, many people talk about European culture, Chinese culture, etc., but few people talk about American culture. If we go forward a few decades, many Europeans feel that the United States is a culturally barbaric place. Strictly speaking, American culture can only be counted as a branch of British culture. It has not formed a so-called nation. Even now, Americans still divide people into British, German, Italian, Irish, African, Asian and so on.
So even in modern times, the United States is still a little unconfident in art and other cultures, and they prefer European art. Therefore, this joint exhibition between the Louvre and the Art Museum of Chicago still attracted many people to watch the exhibition.
There are not many people who really come to appreciate art. After all, no matter which country it is, artists are always in the minority. Most people here come to see the fun. After all, not every American can afford a trip to France. .
Kai, the police officer in charge of security, is actually very boring. With local police keeping order outside and museum and Louvre security inside, Kay is really required to do very little and spends most of his time just hanging out.
But Diana and Kelly were very busy.
Kelly has been following Diana these days and rarely even returns home, although their home is still being renovated. But in the past few days, Kai could hardly see Kelly except for phone calls.
In the past few days since Kelly disappeared, several urban legends suddenly spread in Chicago.
It is said that there are two crazy women who go around doing chivalry in strange clothes at night.
In the past two days, the media has begun to discuss this. Some media call these two female superheroes. Some media that pay attention to political correctness even put them on the level of women's rights fighters. What do you mean, they are resisting the patriarchal society. Vanguard or something. Whatever you say.
Others sneered at this, believing that this kind of behavior is not only illegal, but also brings hidden dangers to social security. Most importantly, it will cause some people to imitate it, which is not good in short.
But no matter which side of the media, after relying on the two female superheroes, they all began to criticize the Chicago police.
They all believe that it is precisely because of Chicago's poor public security that this kind of behavior of fighting violence with violence was born.
This made the Chicago police very helpless. Two days ago, they were praising someone as 'Britney', but within two days they started to criticize her again.
However, the Chicago police are used to this. After all, criticizing the government and the police is considered absolute political correctness in the media. On the contrary, the media speaks for the government and is easily criticized. Therefore, the police do not pay much attention to the two 'female superheroes'.
This is Chicago, and there really aren’t too many mavericks. The ones being dealt with are just gangsters anyway, and they don’t know how to call the police, so they’re not worth caring about. In addition, the two of them didn't cause any big trouble. They just turned a blind eye and passed by. The police were very busy. Who would waste precious police resources on this kind of 'cos enthusiasts'?
If we really go to arrest these two people with great fanfare, believe it or not, the entire Chicago media will have a carnival the next day.
Rather than doing this, it is better to pretend that you don’t know anything.
But Kai knew very well that this cliffhanger was caused by Diana and Kelly.
Diana said nothing, a passionate girl, even if she is hundreds of years old, cannot change this. As for Kelly...as an avid superhero comics fan, what could excite her more than letting her experience the daily life of superheroes?
In the exhibition hall today, Kelly just said hello to Kai and ran off to who knows where with a group of classmates. Kelly is now Diana's temporary assistant, and the school is happy to see this happen. After all, this is a good social practice opportunity, and it has even specially approved a leave for Kelly.
This also made Kelly famous at school. Many students came to Kelly, hoping to get so-called 'internal tickets'. After all, a ticket is not cheap.
In short, Kelly doesn't care about his man now.
And Diana is also very busy. As one of the people in charge of this exhibition, she needs to entertain celebrities from all walks of life. This is one of her jobs, and of course she has to do it.
So Kai could only wander around the venue alone.
While Kai was wandering around, a nun entered the venue with a young man.
It's just that this nun is not as steady as ordinary nuns. Instead, she is holding a large glass of juice, slurping loudly through the straw, and jumping up and down, looking very happy. On the contrary, the young man next to him looks very steady, but his hands He was carrying several large bags, which looked a bit funny.
"Sister Catherine, is it really okay for us... to find the heroine like this?"
The young man avoided everyone's surprised gazes in embarrassment and whispered to the nun.
"What's the problem?" The nun seemed very relaxed. She walked around and looked around, holding a straw in her mouth and chattering even more cheerfully. Because the snarling voice was too loud, the people watching the exhibition all around cast dissatisfied looks, but as soon as those eyes came into contact with the nun's face, they immediately turned into surprise.
Because this nun is really beautiful, the kind of beauty that makes you think twice when you look at her. She is so attractive that men, even women, are attracted to her unconsciously.
"Well... I thought we would be more formal. After all... that is a real superhero! And it is very likely that he is an ancestor-level superhero." When the young man mentioned the person he wanted to meet, his expression changed. Got excited.
"Eggsy, don't think of Diana as so mysterious. She is just a stupid woman with a bad temper. If you think of her so high, you will be very disappointed when you meet her."
"Sister Catherine... you can't say that..." The young man named Eggsy just wanted to retort, but the nun didn't listen to him at all and left directly.
The nun is naturally Catherine who came from England. In fact, Catherine should have come to Chicago a long time ago. But this nun, who is more than a hundred years old, has lived in seclusion in the monastery for too many years, so after being exposed to modern society, she has no understanding of everything. very curious. I don’t know if it was because I was held in for a long time, which caused my character to become extremely willful.
I changed my mind temporarily and decided to go to Los Angeles to see Hollywood and New York for shopping...
This resulted in repeated delays in the trip.
Eggsy is the assistant sent to Catherine by Kingsman. To put it bluntly, he is the bag-carrying boy. He is the apprentice of Harry Hart, the new 'Arthur', the current leader of Kingsman. He has inherited Harry Hart's former code name 'Galahad', officially drank the Holy Grail and became a Kingsman agent. One of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.
Interestingly, Eggsy is the first civilian-born Kingsman agent in the history of Kingsman. In the past, Kingsman agents were only recruited from aristocratic circles, but Eggsy's eighteen generations of ancestors were commoners... and he had no aristocratic blood at all. He was also the result of 'Arthur' Harry Hart's reforms of Kingsman. Harry Hart feels that as the aristocracy is gradually declining, Kingsman must adapt to the times if it wants to develop and grow. They need more fresh blood to keep Kingsman alive.
Before Kay's revival, this type of reform had been blocked by the conservatives represented by the previous generation 'Arthur' Alfred. After they lost their loyal master, they cared more and more about what the master left behind, and they did not allow even a trace of it. changes.
But everything changed when Kai returned and the Holy Grail began to revive. Alfred seemed to be decades younger and had rediscovered the meaning of life. For Kingsman, he also chose to let go and let Harry Hart become a new generation of 'Arthur' and no longer hinder Harry Hart. reform.
In fact, he also knew very well that if he continued to hold on to the old thinking, Kingsman would inevitably weaken. After all, the decline of the British aristocracy after World War I was visible to the naked eye. But at that time Alfred had lost his goal in life and instinctively hated change. But now, what he was thinking was different. He hoped that when he saw his master again, he would be able to deliver a new, more powerful Kingsman into his master's hands.
That's a bit far. Let’s get back to the two of us.
Their purpose this time is naturally to find the statue of Ares, the God of War, and Diana, the Wonder Woman.
There is very little information about Wonder Woman among the people. In modern times, almost no one knows about Wonder Woman’s deeds. After the Allies won World War I, they all unanimously chose to downplay the supernatural events that occurred that year.
But that certainly doesn't apply to Kingsman, which has all the detailed files internally on what happened.
As a Kingsman who came from the streets, Eggsy naturally admired this kind of superhero. After learning about his mission, Eggsy was excited for many days.
