Richard understood, it turned out to be for this matter.It is reasonable for the police to come to him for questioning. After all, the conflict between the Planet Daily and the Green Snake Gang was not a secret, and everyone has seen it.The gang of gangsters just ran to them the day before to find fault, but they were shut down at noon the next day, so if Richard stood on the police's side, he couldn't help but have doubts.
But this time, Richard said it really wasn't his fault.
Although he did use special abilities to solve a lot of troubles for himself, he was very careful every time and never made any mistakes.On the contrary, this incident had nothing to do with him, but he was approached by the police.
"Oh, that incident is quite scary." Richard nodded, "But what I know has been published in the newspapers a few days ago, and I don't see anything else that needs to be added."
George Stacey didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "That's right, there is reliable news that Viper, a member of the Green Snake Gang, brought people to your newspaper office to intimidate people earlier that day, and That night, their leader 'Viper' also went to your restaurant in person to have some conflicts. So"
"So you want to ask me if I have anything to do with the murder case?"
Director Stacey didn't speak, but she clearly acquiesced.
Not only the mafia giants like Jin Bin saw that the Planet Daily was not easy to mess with, but many people also saw that the newspaper's waters were quite deep, including the New York Police Department.Now if someone tells Director Stacey that Richard Lee, the owner of the newspaper, actually knows kung fu, he will believe it if he broke into the Green Snake Gang's stronghold by flying over the roof at night, and killed them all with his bare hands.
Richard rubbed his nose: "If you think I'm a potential suspect, you can cross me off the list, because I was too busy to kill people in those few days, and the people in this building It can prove that I never left. If I remember correctly, it was Wednesday, right? Stephanie, tell Mr. Director what I was doing at noon on Wednesday?"
"You took a nap for an hour after lunch, and when you got up, you asked me to bring cheesecake and donuts for dessert." Stephanie said gently.
Richard's face changed slightly: "Well, later, what am I doing after that?"
"Have afternoon tea."
"After that, skip the eating part." Richard felt a little uncomfortable.Why is this girl so ignorant?Why do you hear her say that when I go to work, I only sleep and eat?How bad is it to leave a wrong impression on outsiders?
"Later you were following the drama "The Big Bang Theory." Stephanie continued to smile.
Richard said with a black face: "You were fired."
"Oh." Stephanie didn't take it seriously, smiled, and exited the office, "Then call me when you need it."
She knew bosses were like that sometimes.From time to time, he would say that he was going to fire her, but in fact he was reluctant to fire her.
"Well, from a personal point of view, I really want to believe that you have nothing to do with this matter, Mr. Li." Director Stacey said, "I am also a reader of the Planet Daily, and I have read your articles. You know, as the commissioner of the New York Police Department, sometimes I have to get in touch with some parts of the city that ordinary people don't see. And reading your newspaper, I can clearly feel the difference between you and other media."
He sighed and said: "I know how rare it is—in such a generation and under such a background, I can still insist on speaking for truth and justice. So I always feel that we should be on the same front. I am willing to believe that The Planet Daily has nothing to do with the Green Snake Gang, but I still have one thing to remind, Mr. Li."
"Please say."
"People like you and me, we should pay more attention to the bottom line." Chief Stacey said seriously, "That is a line that we should not cross—even for the right purpose."

Chapter 33 Work report
Director George Stacey is a good guy in the typical sense, with integrity and strong principles.He is strict with himself, and the same with others.It may be lucky for the people of New York to have such a police chief, but not for those around him.You'll find it hard to get used to being around such a rigid guy all day.
But as far as Richard himself is concerned, he doesn't hate the Mr. Director.He himself is not that kind of upright person, and he doesn't like to get along with such people, but this does not prevent him from admiring such people.The city needs someone like Commissioner Stacey to have a chance of being better.
After sending off the chief and his party, there will be basically nothing to do in the rest of the day.When it was time to get off work, Richard found Jessica: "Let's go, pack up, and I'll show you the house."
Jessica froze for a moment: "But I still have something to do."
Richard waved his hand: "Hodge, can you help Jessica with the rest of the task? We have to go."
Hodge's face twitched: "No problem, boss."
inner os:
S.H.I.E.L.D., Tricurved Wing Building.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury, who was dressed in black, sat upright behind his desk, resting his elbows on the table, his hands supporting his chin alternately.
"Are you sure?" he confirmed again.
"He didn't directly show me his special ability, but he did know about the incident at the Bex water supply plant yesterday morning, and he did admit it to me personally." Coulson said, "I don't think there should be any mistakes. Already—Richard Lee is the giant code-named 'Ultraman'."
Fury's one eye narrowed.
So the giant turned out to be a human, and Fury isn't sure if things are getting simpler or more complicated now.Since the other party is a human being, this makes the communication between the two parties much easier.But it is also more difficult because the other party is a human being-a human being with power beyond any country or organization.
"He said that this power may be a kind of inheritance from another world, and it exists to resist the thing called 'alien beast'." Coulson continued, "He also told me that Aegis must do Get ready, because the alien beast that was defeated before is actually only a weaker one."
"Weaker?" Fury's only eyeball almost stared straight, "Are you sure that's what he meant?"
Coulson expressed his understanding of the chief's reaction, after all, he also reacted this way when he heard this from Richard.You can describe the thing yesterday morning as disgusting, ugly, and terrifying like a nightmare, but in any case, it has nothing to do with the word "weak", right?
If this is the case, then the problem is serious.Will there be monsters more powerful than that tentacle monster in the future?It sounds like there is more than one.
Faced with that kind of thing, do humans really have a chance of winning now?
"May I express my personal opinion, sir?" Coulson asked.
Fury raised his eyelids: "Say it."
"I think no matter what the other party said is true or not, if that kind of creature really appears in the future, then the power that Richard Lee possesses is our best chance."
"So you think he can be trusted?"
Coulson pondered for a moment.
"From an S.H.I.E.L.D. standpoint, it's a bit too casual to say trust right now," Coulson said, "but personally, yes, I think so."
Fury nodded thoughtfully, but said nothing.
As the director of the bureau, he certainly couldn't make any conclusions based on Coulson's one-sided remarks, but there must still be some reference value.
Coulson hesitated for a while before he said, "I still have a question that I don't know if I should ask, sir."
