At around three o'clock in the middle of the night, the entire police station was in a state of turmoil. But seriously, no one really complained. The main thing is this...it's really interesting!
Superheroes receive much more attention in this world than Kai did in his previous life. After all, a superhero really appeared during World War II. Even from World War II to the present, over the years, there will be some fanatics from time to time who will dress up in fancy clothes and run out to do chivalry. Of course, most of them have been suppressed by the local police station. Over time, superheroes have become children’s daydreams, but do you think people are looking forward to superheroes?
Of course looking forward to it! Otherwise, Kelly and the three of them would not have received so much attention. Police officers are human beings too, and many of them grew up as children, so they are naturally interested in superheroes! Especially seeing that it’s worth living!
At the same time, because of this, law enforcement agencies are particularly sensitive to this kind of thing. The reasons have been mentioned before and I won’t repeat them. So when a guy calling himself Batman caused such a big thing, the top brass of the Los Angeles Police Department took it very seriously!
For this reason, the police department issued a gag order and was not allowed to talk about Batman to the outside world, especially to the media. Those people can stir up trouble in no matter what, let alone if it is true. If the media really gets the news, then the news in the morning and the whole city's media will be climax!
Fortunately, it was around three o'clock in the middle of the night, and we were at the police station, so there weren't many witnesses. Even if some tabloid reporters got wind of the rumor tomorrow, it would be useless without evidence. At most, it would just be one more urban legend. It doesn't get in the way. There are many such things. Gone.
The police department will definitely make great efforts to find out who this Batman is.
But Kai estimated that this matter would not fall on him. The reason is very simple, the principle of avoidance. No matter whether the bureau believed Kai or not, Kai was always the beneficiary of this matter. According to the principle of avoidance, Kai should also avoid suspicion.
That's okay. If this matter really falls on Kai, he will also have a headache. Catch the thief? Carrying the red flag to fight against the red flag?
Kai came out of the director's office and ran into Dan. Chap had been on paid leave because of a broken rib. He has a very sense of responsibility, and is very similar to continuing to follow this case. This kind of professional attitude is really rare among American police. After all, in the eyes of Americans, police are just a job, no different from cleaners or clerks. Going into battle with an injury...who wouldn't want to be able to take reasonable paid time off and not have to do anything?
So Chap's case was handed over to Dan.
Dan was actually injured, but fortunately it was not serious and did not affect his work. Having said that, it was good luck to meet subordinates like Chap and Dan who had a strong sense of responsibility.
"Boss, the group responsible for surveillance has sent back the news. Those people seem to be planning to leave here."
Kai accepted the coffee that Chloe handed over and asked casually: "Time."
"Three days later."
"Three days?" Kai looked over doubtfully. Kai felt that these people were very courageous. They had done such a big thing in Los Angeles and still had to wait three days. He wondered if they were emboldened.
"They contacted the smuggler and planned to take a boat out to sea three days later. The destination is South America." Dan also took the coffee from Chloe's hand.
After the last attack and her outburst with Kai, Chloe became a lot more honest. At least she wouldn't make those childish remarks in front of Kai.
"Three days...why do you think they had to wait three days?" Kai asked.
Dan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Then he noticed Kai was still looking at him.
Kai had a headache. If Saji or Portman were here, they would definitely react immediately.
"I don't know? I don't know! Check! Find out who they are in contact with, where they come from, where they go, and what they do! Do you still need me to teach you?"
Dan immediately stood at attention in a panic.
"Yes!" After saying that, he quickly put down his coffee and hurried out.
Kai shook his head and walked into his office.
"Not clever at all." Dan's ability is actually quite good, but he is a bit stunned and his reaction is a bit slow. Apparently he was used to being a soldier, used to following orders, and his subjective initiative was a bit lacking.
"Dan is actually quite good." Chloe saw her ex-husband doing things despite being hurt, and ended up getting fucked (the dialect here probably means being scolded or blamed). It’s a bit hard to watch.
Kai didn't even look back, and just said: "He is very good, but you still want to divorce him?"
I was immediately shocked and speechless.
Dan is really good at everything. Not only is he handsome, he is neat and tidy. He has a great body and his six-pack abs are still clearly visible. He is serious and responsible, has no bad habits, and is sincere in leading people. But there was one thing that Chloe couldn't accept. He was always slow to respond and not considerate and caring enough for her. To put it bluntly, straight men have advanced cancer.
Although Chloe is a little woman, she has the heart of a strong woman. On the one hand, she hopes that Dan will be considerate and gentle to him, but on the other hand, she wants to be on her own.
It's quite contradictory anyway.
A straight man like Dan never trusts Chloe's ability, and he is also the kind of person who takes a long time to even say "I love you". How is it possible to live a long life with Chloe?
"You didn't go home?" Kai leaned on the office chair and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
It was now four in the morning, and Chloe was still at the police station, obviously not home.
"Well... I've been keeping an eye on that case." Chloe said, leaning her head.
Kai opened his eyes, glanced at her, and said appreciatively: "It's not bad to be brave after knowing your shame."
Chloe looked at Kai. She didn't think she was acting out of shame. After all, not everyone was as good at fighting as Kai. It was too normal for them to be unable to fight against more than a dozen armed gangsters. But she was really unwilling to do so, especially when she saw police officers dying for it.
"What about your child?" Kai knew that Chloe had a daughter. But Kai has never been very good at getting along with children, but he has only seen them before.
"My mother takes care of it."
"Yeah." Kai didn't know her very well, and that was all they could talk about.
This is very different from China, where leaders care about their subordinates' private affairs, which is caring. Here, leaders care about their subordinates' private affairs, either because of gossip, or... they have bad intentions. Very impersonal.
Just because Kai had nothing to say, it didn't mean that Chloe didn't.
"Um...you're really not Batman?"
Kai looked at Chloe with a greeting on his face.
"You doubt me?"
"I'm just asking...what if? Just tell me, I won't tell anyone." Chloe was obviously very bored.
"I'm talking nonsense!" Kai said angrily, how mentally retarded do I have to be to tell you?
"I don't think so either. I heard that Batman captured all the gunmen and didn't kill any of them." Chloe was really bored and didn't mean to test. She just felt that if there was anyone she knew who was most likely to be Batman, it would be this one. After all, he could fight.
At the same time, she revealed the biggest 'difference' between Kai and Batman. Looking through Kai's resume, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he was ruthless. The number of Kai's murders that can be recorded has easily exceeded 100. Every time he takes action, he will show no mercy.
Compared to Kai, Batman is definitely a kindhearted person.
Kai rolled his eyes at her and didn't bother to pay attention to her, but asked about Batman in their eyes.
"Have you met Batman?"
"Of course!" Chloe got a little excited talking about this.
But Kai knew very well that she had seen shit! Kai didn't see her at all when he sent the sought-after guy away, so he was obviously telling nonsense.
But Kai won't expose her, so just let her.
Kai pretended to be curious and asked: "What does Batman look like?"
"I'm telling you, he's so handsome!"
Kai touched his face. Although his face was indeed handsome, he didn't see Chloe praising him before.
"Have you seen what he looks like?"
"Of course not! Superheroes all have their faces covered."
"Then you still say he's handsome?"
"I guessed it."
Kai looked at her speechlessly.
Chloe had a 'don't you believe it yet' look on her face. "Women's intuition is very accurate!"
Just as Kai and Chloe were talking, Dustin came in and didn't knock on the door, which was really rude.
Chloe stood up immediately when she saw the director.
There was another person following Dustin, who was an acquaintance of Kai.
"Tsk... I didn't expect to meet you everywhere. Agent Phil."
The visitor showed a kind smile. "This is definitely a coincidence!"
Phil is still dressed the same way, with a bald head and a suit. He looks like the uncle next door. But Kai knew that it was never a good thing for this guy to appear.
"It seems that you came here again because of the smell." Kai and Dustin nodded.
Dustin was surprised: "Do you know each other?"
"Of course, we worked well together the first few times we met."
Phil said with a smile.
Kai didn't care: "If you say yes, then that's it."
Dustin obviously heard that there was a story between the two people, but considering the mysterious identity of the bald man, Dustin didn't plan to ask more questions.
"Now that you know each other, that's great. Regarding the Burbank case, Agent Phil needs to talk to you." After that, he left immediately.
In their line of work, there are not many opportunities to meet people from these mysterious departments, but once you encounter them, the best way to deal with them is to listen as little as possible, speak as little as possible, and pretend you don't know! Only in this way can trouble be avoided.
Dustin ran away, and Kai looked at Chloe.
Chloe was quite curious, but seeing Kai staring at her, even if she wanted to stay, she didn't have the guts.
"Okay, everyone's gone. Tell me, you SHIELD, what do you plan to do?"
Phil didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Kai's words, but said without changing his face: "Burbank! We want him!"
"Tsk, I said you SHIELD are really good. Everything is handled by us, but you come out to eat ready-made food. It's too much."
"As far as I know, those people were not caught by your LAPD. They were caught by a vigilante."
"Then what's your business? Believe it or not, we will be the one who caught the news tomorrow." Kai won't be fooled. If you dare, just reveal the truth! If SHIELD really wants to do this, the Los Angeles Police Department won't be the only ones causing trouble for them. The U.S. government is also going to talk to Nick Fury.
As mentioned before, the government does not have a good impression of so-called vigilantes and superheroes. Even though the U.S. government has been boasting about Captain America, it was for propaganda purposes at that time, not that the U.S. government really needed a Captain America.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. dares to stab the Los Angeles police on this issue of principle, just wait for the US government to stab them ten times!
"Kai, we don't have to do this, right?" Phil was a little helpless. Since the last bad breakup, Phil has discovered that this little policeman has a very bad attitude towards SHIELD.
"Hmph! Stop talking." Kai wouldn't talk about those things with Phil. We are all adults and there is no need for him, a SHIELD agent, to pretend to be a close sister.
"What do you want?" Phil then returned to his business-like attitude.
"I can give it to you. But my major crime team is short of some equipment and funds." Kai naturally wants to make a fortune. He does not lack these, and neither does the major crime team. As the richest police department in the United States, Los Angeles has sufficient funds. It would make my colleagues in Chicago cry. Even a big police department like New York can’t compare to the Los Angeles Police Department. There’s no way there are too many celebrities. But those celebrities are not allowed to do charity if they have money? Otherwise, how can we attract fans and demonstrate our sense of social responsibility? Donating to the police station is very cost-effective among all charities.
"We don't have the funds! As for the equipment... We can support some of the weapons and equipment, and we can also send a few police vehicles."
It is impossible to give money. Although S.H.I.E.L.D. claims to be an international organization, in fact most of their funding sources come from the United States. Some of them are solved by S.H.I.E.L.D. themselves, and some of them come from appropriations from the U.S. Congress. Otherwise Why does SHIELD listen to the US government? I have never heard of such a good thing like asking people to obey orders without giving them money.
It is precisely for this reason that SHIELD's funding situation needs to be supervised by the Congressional Budget Committee. If SHIELD dares to give money to the Los Angeles Police, believe it or not, the budget will be cut in the second fiscal year!
Why?
You have money to support your brother's unit. What does that mean? It means you have a rich budget! Extravagance and waste are wrong.
If your budget is not cut, whose budget will be cut?
So giving money is no problem, but giving equipment is no problem. After all, the money is spent, that's another story. In the past, many units liked to spend money unexpectedly before closing accounts at the end of the year. This is the reason.
Kai nodded. He was just unhappy with SHIELD. He wasn't trying to make a fortune out of this, and he didn't expect it to bankrupt SHIELD. He just wanted to tap something.
"Also, I want intelligence sharing!"
"Intelligence...this..." Phil hesitated a little. After all, intelligence has always been very sensitive.
Of course Kai knew what he was worried about.
"I'm not interested in those crappy things, and I don't want them if you show them to me. Knowing too much is troublesome. You should understand what I want to know."
Phil pondered for a moment and nodded.
"I understand, I will let you know when the time comes."
Kingpin's matter has little to do with SHIELD, and the U.S. government will not allow SHIELD to intervene in such cases. Gang cases are under the jurisdiction of the police. So it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of asking a few more questions during the interrogation.
"It's a pleasure to work with you." Phil extended his hand.
Kai looked at Phil indifferently. "I don't want to cooperate with you at all! Your appearance means trouble. I beg you, who take so much money from our taxpayers every year, please work a little harder and stop letting these superhuman beings run around!"
Phil shrugged.
"This kind of thing is beyond our control."
"That's not our police's responsibility!" After saying that, he ignored him.
…
"What are you doing here?" After seeing off Plague Shield, Kai caught up on his sleep in the office. He waited until after eight o'clock in the morning before he came out to make breakfast. As soon as he left the office, he saw Joe's daughter, a black woman. Journalist Iris West.
When Iris saw Kai, her eyes immediately lit up, and she grabbed him and pulled him to the rest area.
"Did a superhero deliver a carload of criminals to the police station yesterday?"
"Who told you that?"
"Just tell me if you have it?"
"No! Fake!"
"Obviously everyone saw it!"
"Who? Find him!"
"You can't do this, the public has the right to know!"
"Yes, I think so too. So I tell you, look at the shape of my mouth. No... no!"
Kai was making coffee on the coffee machine while teasing Menzi with the little girl.
"Why are you free to come to our police station early in the morning today? You don't have to go to work?"
"Oh, it was my father who asked me to come. He wanted to go to the laboratory with you. He said that Barry had a breakthrough."
"Barry?"
Kai had forgotten who Barry was. It took a while before I remembered that it was Joe's unlucky adopted son who was struck by lightning.
"So fast?"
Barry was struck by lightning and turned into a vegetative state. Kai could not guarantee how much the experimental treatment project in the laboratory could help his situation. Unexpectedly, it was actually effective.
"Yeah! Dr. Lanno also said this is a miracle."
