After all, Li Yalin threatened: "Director, if you want to take this case away from me, then I will complain to the mayor!"

"Complain to me?" The director gave a wry smile, and then said helplessly: "Li, let me tell you clearly, next year's mayoral election, the current mayor will have to fight for re-election. If we cause public outrage now, then the hope of re-election will be completely ruined! So, it�s not that I want you to retire early, it�s the mayor who wants you to retire early!�

As soon as these words came out, Li Yalin was stunned.

He really didn't expect that the mayor, who had repeatedly praised him in public, wanted to retire early.

Seeing that he was speechless, the director continued to add: "Li, there are only two options before you. The first one is that you take the initiative to apply for early retirement. Although this case will make you lose some face, But at least it won't ruin your reputation. It's nothing more than a stain. Didn't your Chinese ancestors often say that people are not sages and no one has faults? Such a stain will not have much impact on you. Besides As the chief of the New York Police Department, this case will leave an indelible stain on my resume, and I can face it calmly, so what is there for you to hesitate?"

Speaking of this, the chief cleared his throat, and said again: "Ahem... Li, if you don't want to, then the New York Police Department can only publicly announce the suspension of your work. As for the reason for the suspension of your work, it is also because You bear unshirkable responsibilities in many links of this series of cases, including but not limited to failing to discover the criminal facts of Fei Haoyang and others for such a long time, and the case of Fei Haoyang's kidnapping all the way to Fei Haoyang's Yang was torn up and failed to catch the murderer!"

Li Yalin's veins suddenly popped up, and his anger came from his heart.

But the chief said with a serious expression on his face: "Li, if there is a major issue that cannot be solved, someone must come out and take the blame. You have worked in the New York Police Department for so many years. It is impossible for you to understand this truth, and I don't want you to take the blame." This is a scapegoat, but if you are really stubborn, then I can only say sorry to you in advance!"

Li Yalin gritted his teeth and looked at the other party. Even though his heart was full of hatred, he also knew that what the director said was the truth.

In fact, most of the time, the New York police system is still very protective. If their own people cause trouble, the higher-ups will definitely find a way to solve it out of overall image considerations.

However, the New York police can't handle everything.

In recent years, the New York police's violent law enforcement against ethnic minorities has aroused huge public anger. At first, the New York police also tried to cover their own people, but in the end they had to make sacrifices because of the public anger.

The impact of the series of cases Fei Haoyang is involved in is also extremely bad, but the incident happened suddenly, and the police have not yet found a way to deal with it. However, it can be guessed from the current situation that it is very difficult to investigate the cause of this incident. Come on, so it won't be long before someone in the New York police must take the blame.

It may be a wise choice to retreat bravely now.

Moreover, Li Yalin also knew that he had no choice now.

Either actively retire or passively retire, there is no other choice except retirement.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, he said dejectedly, "Okay, I accept."

The director nodded in relief, and said: "You will have a brief meeting with the media later, and you will say that the police have received a tip that a suspect is active in this building, but after searching, it is confirmed that there is no trace of the suspect. , this action may be due to an error in intelligence, don�t explain too much about the others.�

Li Yalin said helplessly: "Okay, I will go in a while."

The director nodded and said again: "I will arrange an internal meeting tomorrow morning, and at the meeting you volunteered that you have been under too much pressure recently and want to take a break, I will follow the trend and hand over the case to Bruno to continue to take charge. "

Li Yalin hurriedly asked: "Do you want Bruno to continue the investigation?"

"Investigate a fart!" The director waved his hand and said, "I will ask Bruno to change the direction of the investigation. On the one hand, investigate the victim's identity information to see if there are other victims who have not been exposed, and on the other hand, thoroughly investigate Fei Haoyang. And his other accomplices, see if there are any fish that slip through the net."

Li Yalin blurted out and asked, "Then what about the murderer? No more arrests?!"

"Catch a fart!" The director sneered, and asked him: "You tell me how to catch it? If it wasn't done by Wanlongdian, can the real murderer be found? If it was done by Wanlongdian, how do you let me get to Wanlong?" The palace arrests people? Let�s not say that the Wanlong Temple is not easy to deal with, even if it is easy to deal with, I went to arrest people, how can I explain it to the people? After all the hard work, won�t they be scolded? "

Li Yalin couldn't help asking: "Director, we are law enforcement officers. If such criminals who openly violate the law are not arrested, how can we protect the dignity of the law?"

The director said indifferently: "At times like this, we must learn to compromise. Our top priority is not to maintain the dignity of the law, but to satisfy the public. I plan to make it an unsolved case, and the public will not think we are incompetent. They will only feel that the heroes in their hearts are more powerful than they imagined, and they won�t come to trouble us because we didn�t solve the case!�

Hearing this, Li Yalin couldn't help but said, "Since it's an unsolved case, there's no need for me to retire early, right? At worst, I'll obey the arrangement and stop investigating this case!"

The director shook his head: "No, the mayor knows your temper, so he has told me that you must retire early!"

The conversation ended in only ten minutes, but Li Yalin seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden.

He is very clear about the mayor's intention to retire early, even if he doesn't directly blame him, but in the eyes of the public, he is still the one to blame. JrNovels.com
