Chapter 26: Chapter 25: the deputy chief brilliant plan
note: sorry for the delay there will be an extra chapter.
----
In the evening, Chief George took time off from his busy work and felt a headache when he thought of the large number of reporters surrounding the police station.
The purpose of these reporters is all to get headlines, and they want to wait for Kevin White to come out and then interview him.
In order to prevent the situation from escalating and to protect Kevin personal information, he sent Kevin and his lawyer out of the police station through the back door in advance.
The whole New York is now in an uproar because of this bank robbery, especially the fact that the police had been unable to solve it for a long time, but the thieves got killed by a young man in just a few minutes. This is really worth talking about.
Plus, Kevin is so handsome, so both those who like looks and those who like the plot and are interested and pay special attention to this matter can know it.
After an afternoon of fermentation, people on the Internet even gave Kevin titles such as "the savior of the New York police" and "Robin Hood of the 21st century."
On TV, the news anchor said righteously: "This humiliating defeat of the New York police has become the biggest topic in the American police community. Former U.S. Police Commissioner Hoover made his comments on this. The former commissioner, who has always been vigorous and resolute, said that the New York police's behavior is really shameless..."
New York City Mayor Adams turned off the video on the screen, turned around and looked at the senior police officers, and said, "Now the public opinion of your police department in New York City knows that it has seriously affected the image of the government in the eyes of the citizens. This matter must be resolved immediately."
At this moment in the conference room, senior police officers were all murmuring in their hearts, wondering why the mayor, who had previously let police affairs slide, suddenly became so concerned today.
But only a few people like George knew that the mayor was suddenly concerned because he was watching out for the next election and was worried that it would affect his voter turnout.
"The key to the problem lies in the key component of the issue. No matter what, you must solve this matter. I called you here now because I want you to come up with a charter on how to solve this matter." The mayor looked at George and said, "Since no one is talking, let the director speak first. After all, you are involved in this matter throughout."
George didn't expect that the mayor would have something to do with himself. He stood up helplessly and said, "I think the professionalism of the police officers should be strengthened and their training should be strengthened..."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to say anything. What you said makes sense, but what I want is an immediate way to change public opinion." The mayor stopped talking and turned to the deputy director and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
"I do have an idea." The deputy chief hesitated for a moment and then stood up and said, "Since the public opinion in the police station was caused by that boy, why don't we just recruit that boy?"
"Recruitment?" the mayor asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, now the whole of New York is comparing the strength of that young man with our police station. In that case, why don't we absorb him into the police station?" said the deputy chief, but this statement made the mayor's eyes light up.
"As long as we make a public announcement that our police department has learned a lesson and let the teenager who solved the bank robbery case come to the police station, the public's attention will only be focused on that young man."
"It will also allow the government to give citizens the feeling that it listens to public opinion and reverse the previous bad impression that it is superior." The deputy director said as he thought, and the more he spoke, the more he felt that his method was feasible.
"But that guy didn't even graduate from high school. Are we going to make an exception and let him join the police force? There has never been such a precedent before." George stepped forward and spoke.
"What's the big deal? He doesn't need to join the department directly. Instead, he can join as a special police consultant. Then we won't need him to handle cases. We can just use his name to support us." said the deputy director.
"Later on, we can directly promote him as a rising star in the police force. With his good looks, he can even change the image of the government."
"Okay, your idea is very practical. Let's do it this way." The mayor of New York made the decision directly, and then looked at George and said, "Since the deputy director has come up with an idea, it's up to you to execute it."
"Ah? I..." George pointed at himself helplessly.
"What else? Among all the people present here, you are the only one who has the most contact with that young man. If we don't let you go, who will go?" the mayor said as a matter of course.
George looked around and found that his colleagues had subconsciously distanced themselves from him.
The mayor looked at George and said calmly, "This matter concerns the honor of the government. I remember that you have been the director for almost five years. I hope you can work hard and not slack off during this last period of your term."
Faced with this naked threat, George nodded helplessly and said, "I understand. I will talk to him and try to get him to join the police department."
"It's not about trying our best, it's about making sure we do it," the mayor emphasized.
…
You completed a total of 21,543 weighted squats, and the upper limit of your mental attribute increased to 1.6.
As changes appeared on the description bar, Kevin gently put down the three barbells on his body.
At this moment, the sky outside the gym has darkened and the time has come late at night. Kevin, who has been squatting at full speed for seven or eight hours, does not feel tired at all. He only feels hungry after the long exercise.
"Is that all we have for today?" Smith asked.
"You can go back first. I'll stay here tonight." Kevin said.
His family background must have been thoroughly investigated by now, and he would definitely be harassed by the group of reporters who were waiting at his home when he returned. Since the club owner said that he could live here 24 hours a day, he might as well treat this place as his home for the time being.
Feeling hungry, Kevin walked out of the club and headed towards the shop outside, but before he went out, a phone call made him change his itinerary.
Looking at the unfamiliar number on his phone, Kevin hesitated for a moment and chose to answer the call: "Hello, who are you? How do you know my number?"
"Kevin White, right? I'm George, the chief of the police station. I met with you today. I have something to discuss with you about at the police station. What are you doing now?"
"Chief George?" Kevin recalled the middle-aged man he had seen this morning. There was indeed no difference in his voice.
Kevin hesitated for a while and then said, "I don't have anything to do for now. I'm going to have dinner."
"Is that so? I haven't had dinner yet. If you don't mind, come to my house for dinner." George issued an invitation on the phone.
"Have dinner..." Kevin frowned slightly. He didn't understand the other party's intention, but it shouldn't be a bad thing. After all, if he really wanted to do something bad to him, there was no reason to bring him to his home.
"Okay, Chief. Where is your home now? I'll be there right away." Kevin nodded slightly.
After writing down George's phone number, Kevin hung up the phone and went straight to his house, but before he left, another call came into his cell phone, still from an unfamiliar number.
