The next day, Teresa was surprised to find that she had another transfer order in her hand. It was still coming from the Ministry of Justice, and it was still signed and confirmed by the Director.
However, the transfer position was changed to Detective Bureau of the Los Angeles Headquarters Police Department.
Looking at these two completely different transfer orders, Teresa was a little at a loss. Did the Ministry of Justice slap herself in the face? But when Teresa called to confirm, she discovered that the previous transfer order had been canceled due to a writing error in the document, and a new transfer order could only be issued.
Document writing error?
Who the hell believes it?
But the formulaic reply on the other side of the phone was this, believe it or not.
Theresa had no choice but to pick up the phone and report to her leader, Deputy Director Cooper.
As a result, Cooper's side was silent for a while, and the silence lasted so long that Teresa thought the other party had hung up the phone. After a long while, Cooper finally said: "Let them do whatever they want..."
Cooper felt a little discouraged at the moment, not because of Kai's departure. Kai is indeed a talent, and Cooper is also very optimistic about him. Kai is under him and has helped him achieve a lot of achievements, but no matter what, Kai is only one person. Cooper is about to become the chief of the Chicago Police Department. He has to face the entire Chicago area and tens of thousands of police officers. He has to face the entire Chicago people. He cannot be discouraged just because of one person's departure or stay. cold.
What really dampened his spirits was that he felt that he was about to become the top brother of the Chicago police, and he was considered a big figure. But what happened in the past two days made him understand that in the eyes of many people, he, the first deputy chief, And the alternate director, who is actually nothing.
He was notified of the two transfer orders. He is the direct leader of the Headquarters Police Detective Bureau! But when these people wanted to transfer Kai, no one said hello to him. He had fought. It was not that he couldn't accept Kai's transfer, but shouldn't they respect him as their direct leader?
But it was no use. The current director, who was about to retire, just explained to him a few perfunctory words. Others were too lazy to explain and just told him to execute the order.
This made Cooper, who was originally high-spirited, feel that he had understood too much and that he was really nothing!
After hanging up the phone from Theresa, Cooper thought about it for a long time and finally picked up the phone.
"Hey, Tom, it's me, Harold." Cooper's full name is Harold Cooper, and only his friends will call him his name. On the other side of the phone was Cooper's best friend, federal prosecutor Tom Connolly, who had served in the military together. But after returning to China, he embarked on a different path. Tom relied on his retirement pay to attend law school, then became a lawyer, then a prosecutor, and then rose through the ranks to become the chief prosecutor of the federal Department of Justice.
"Well, I figured it out, I'm going to Washington."
Even as Tom rose through the ranks, he never forgot his old friend. He always hoped that Cooper could go to Washington to help him and serve in the Department of Justice. It's just that Tom has a prosperous career in Chicago and is reluctant to stay away from his hometown.
But now...
So he simply agreed to the invitation of his old friend and went to Washington to start his new career. He has already thought about it. If some of his subordinates are willing, he can ask Tom to help him transfer them. If they are not willing, it doesn't matter. There is no such thing as a banquet in the world.
…
Kay didn't know that his angry behavior would plunge the Chicago Police Department into a vortex of power struggle for the next few years. After all, Cooper has senior qualifications, strong abilities, and a perfect resume. When he became the police chief, he was expected by everyone and had no opponent at all. Others could only stop their activities and had no way to fight.
But suddenly Cooper gave up the immediate position of director and went to Washington to start a new career, so the position of director became vacant. There is no obvious gap among the other candidates who are qualified to win this position. Everyone has a chance. In this case, why don't they compete.
Of course, Kai doesn't know anything yet.
He simply wanted to make S.H.I.E.L.D. sick.
To Kai, it didn't matter whether the police officer was a police officer or not. If Kai were a billionaire in his lifetime, he would definitely never work as a police officer again. But in this life, he found that he didn't care about the billions as much as he thought. Maybe it was too easy, or maybe he was at a higher level than in his previous life. It means that fame and fortune, glory and wealth are like fleeting clouds.
But looking back, it seems that apart from being a police officer, Kai really doesn’t know what else he can do?
Eating at home and waiting to die? In the past, when he was lustful, he had thought about it, but if he really wanted to do nothing, he felt that something was missing.
So he simply asked Stark to help him relocate elsewhere.
Tony owed him a favor, so he naturally wouldn't hesitate, since this kind of thing was not difficult for him anyway.
As for why Tony could ask the Ministry of Justice to cancel the previous transfer order, it is also very simple. S.H.I.E.L.D. is indeed very powerful, but it depends on who you compare it to. If you compare it with Kai, a little policeman, there is nothing to say, but with the president of Stark Industries?
That's really close.
Some people say, fart, how can SHIELD be weaker than President Stark?
Of course, if we really want to talk about political influence, Tony cannot be compared with an entire organization.
But don't forget what kind of organization SHIELD is.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is, to put it bluntly, an organization independent of various countries. Although its attributes are more inclined to the United States, it is not an upright U.S. government organization. In addition, they are a spy organization, so in terms of trust level, God The Shield really can't compete with Tony, a purely American corporate group boss.
What's more, SHIELD seems to be strong, but precisely because they are too strong, they are very tabooed by the US government. Successive US governments have been very taboo about SHIELD's involvement in US government affairs.
They have already mastered extremely huge resources, and even have a series of privileges, if they are still involved in the normal operations of the government.
Many people are about to start muttering, what does SHIELD want to do? Rebellion?
Moreover, it is impossible for people from the Department of Justice to work for SHIELD willingly. Compared to SHIELD, Tony is different. Others have deep relations with the government and the military, so of course they are willing to give face to this small issue.
One is forced to do it, and the other is willing to give face. How to choose those people from the Ministry of Justice without being stupid.
What's more, what does this have to do with their Ministry of Justice? It was Tony Stark who gave him no face, not them. Will they still offend Tony Stark for SHIELD? How can there be such a reason? They don't eat SHIELD rice.
If SHIELD is unhappy, go find Tony Stark!
But SHIELD really wants to find Tony Stark because of this, haha, that would be interesting. Every circle has its own rules of the game, and SHIELD also has its own rules. If they really dare to cause trouble for Tony Stark, they don't need Stark to find a way to deal with SHIELD. There are many people who want to cause trouble for SHIELD. , because they broke the rules!
If S.H.I.E.L.D. could deal with people at the top of the American pyramid at will, it would really be breaking the rules of the game. Because those few people are the foundation of this country!
So Kai's counterattack came easily.
Kai did not refuse the subsequent transfer order. This was originally what he asked for.
Anyway, he really doesn't have much opinion on where to be a police officer. Los Angeles is not bad, at least the weather is very good, much better than Chicago, with sunny beaches and beautiful women.
Because he was leaving, Kai simply called all his friends in Chicago to his manor, planning to have a party before leaving.
That night, many people gathered at Kai's house.
Matthew and Martin's 'two-horse team' came, and what's interesting is that Martin also brought his family with him. It seems that after reconciling with Matthew, his family and career are back on track. It's just that Kay is a little curious. If Matthew meets Martin's wife again, how will the three of them face each other.
As a result, when the three people arrived, Kai discovered that these three people were really big-hearted. At least Martin's wife cares about Matthew, but it's not like she's flirting with him, but like...how should I put it, a very close relative or old friend.
It’s a bit like the past is like smoke, and there is a sense of unrestrainedness in seeing through the world of mortals.
It's hard to understand.
But... bless them. Americans have always been very tolerant of this kind of weird relationship. Any form of marriage deserves respect, right?
Next up are the hilarious brothers Marcus and Mike.
These two people came by themselves today without bringing anyone with them... As for why they didn't bring anyone with them, the reason is very simple, because Mike is single again...
This bitch couldn't change his habit of eating shit. Within three days of being friends with Marcus's sister, he couldn't suppress his lust for beauty, so he went out to find a girl. What a coincidence, Marcus's sister fell in love with him. Sydney meets...
Then there is the happy-to-see plot of a scumbag being beaten.
Sydney was emotionally hurt and needed comfort. It was impossible for a grown man like Marcus to say these things to his sister, so his wife went into battle.
Just before they came, Marcus was holding a pistol and planning to make a few holes in Mike's body. As a result, these two bastards didn't know how. Mike actually bribed Marcus, and the two reconciled.
It’s not that Marcus is short-sighted, it’s that Marcus was not optimistic about the relationship between his sister and Mike from the beginning.
Marcus has been partnering with Mike for almost ten years. Marcus believes that no one in the world understands Mike, a bastard, better than himself. This guy has no moral integrity when it comes to women. He had already guessed this ending, so he didn't find it strange at all. If Mike, a bastard, could be tied to a woman, the world would have to be destroyed. Marcus even thought that it was a good thing that Sydney could recognize the true nature of this guy so quickly.
Then there are the old friends from the past, several people from the 21st Bureau and two beautiful police beauties. Although these old friends have little role in the article, in fact, Kai has always been in contact with them, and sometimes they sit down and sit down. It is a very special branch. Their jurisdiction is the most chaotic in Chicago. In addition, there is currently a shortage of manpower. Although Chicago has been recruiting new people, Bureau 21 is... hard to describe.
Therefore, the 21st Bureau is the one who most frequently seeks help from the headquarters. The General Detective Bureau often sends agents to the 21st Bureau for support. Most of the 'hard crackdowns' hosted by Deputy Director Cooper last time were in the 21st Bureau. At that time, the 21st Bureau was responsible for the perimeter and support.
So Kai interacted with them quite frequently.
Then it’s Miles and William.
Miles brought his wife Tracy. Tracy and Pepper looked very similar, so they were kidnapped by Joe, the murderer of the Seven Deadly Sins at the time. Kay was also her savior. This time Kay was leaving Chicago. She I also wanted to come over and express my gratitude.
As for William, he was Kai's old friend, and they interacted more frequently.
What's even more interesting is that William is an extremely old-school person, and he can even write letters.
To be honest, from the previous life to this life, Kai Lung never wrote many letters. Only when he was in the second grade of junior high school, with the encouragement of a few friends, he wrote letters to girls from other schools in the same city and made pen pals. I have forgotten what I wrote. Anyway, I was very nervous and looking forward to it. Anyway, this was popular at that time.
William doesn't like high technology very much. Except for handling cases and work, he rarely uses mobile phones and computers. The only high-tech things in his home are a TV, a refrigerator, and a toaster. He doesn't even own a microwave, which is an oddity in the eyes of many Americans. Most Americans eat fast food at home, they take it out of the refrigerator, pop it in the microwave and eat it. Without these two things, for ordinary Americans, it is basically impossible to have a meal at home.
But William actually doesn’t have a microwave, which means that the old man cooks all his meals at home!
This is very strange. He is an old man living alone, but he still has time to cook for himself. Anyway, according to William, it's called sentiment.
His sentiment has been with him all his life, so he prefers to write letters. He has always believed that although it is slower, seriously written words are much more sincere than making phone calls from a long distance. The old man doesn't have many friends, so he only writes about thirty letters every month. Well, not many really. One of them must be to Kai.
But... Kai really didn't have the heart to write a letter, especially since the old man was an educated man. The letter was written in a formal style, and the handwriting was in cursive calligraphy. It looked very classy. Kai couldn't stand this, so every time he received a letter, Just ask him out for a chat and tell him if you have any questions.
William was able to come here this time, which was a big honor. His work and rest schedule was extremely regular. He would get off work every day, drink some red wine, read for an hour, go to bed at ten o'clock, get up at five o'clock in the morning, make breakfast by himself, and then go back to the same house. He ordered a cup of black tea at the tea restaurant. It was not the kind of tea bag, but the one specially brewed for him by the restaurant. He did not drink coffee, and he was very strict about sugar intake. He also needed milk. He would only order one waffle, and then he kept doing it. Go to work at nine o'clock.
It was definitely a great honor for him to attend Kai's party after ten o'clock.
Only Teresa and Cooper also came, but Cooper and Teresa seemed very worried and left together after not staying long.
After the two leaders left, everyone finally let go.
Kai looked at the revelers and suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave Chicago for no reason.
Sure enough, people are like this. When you stay in a place, you will naturally develop feelings for that place. The people and things here will make people feel a little bit emotional.
What would Los Angeles be like?
Kai held the wine glass and looked at the crowd dancing to the music downstairs. He suddenly felt at a loss, as he sometimes did.
Because he still doesn't know why he came to this world.
But Kai soon put this idea aside. Many things in human life may not always be meaningful.
Live in the moment.
