even...
At the end of the investigation, the Internal Affairs Investigation Department did not find anything else, but they did find out one thing: not only did Lake not have any illegal income, but he also donated a sum of money regularly every month to social welfare organizations in various places.
In the end, some female investigators couldn't bear to investigate further.
These...
It was secretly revealed to him by a soft-hearted female investigator.
Lake wanted to laugh.
Lake was not surprised at all that the Internal Affairs Investigation Department could not find any clues.
After all, Lake didn't want to rob other gangs because he was a detective, but he became a detective because he wanted to be able to rob other gangs and have his own intelligence network at the same time.
This is a very important issue of priority.
One sentence.
Lake came prepared, not unprepared.
and...
The so-called regular donations to the orphanage must have been done by a cheat. After all, some of the abnormal money and black money were all in cash and were directly given to the cheat. The last lottery also used his own salary. The salary part of the money was in the open, and it was definitely impossible for it to disappear directly.
But that doesn't matter.
What's important is that with Lake's well-preparedness, the Internal Affairs Investigation Department's investigation was undoubtedly deadlocked.
It was precisely because of this that Lake was assigned by the chief to give the opening speech at the Police Academy. This would not have happened if the Internal Affairs Investigation Department had any evidence at all.
Unfortunately, the Internal Affairs Department has no evidence at all, but the Internal Affairs Investigation Department is unwilling to close the case.
reason...
Lake has some personal grudges against the investigator leading this investigation.
Let me put it this way.
There is a story about a hat.
Lake is not proud. God can testify for Lake that the woman clearly said she was single at that time.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Come in!"
On the top floor of the New York Police Department building, Lake pushed open the office door and greeted the current New York Police Commissioner sitting in the chair: "Commissioner."
Director Burt looked up at Lake as he entered, gestured with his hand at the chair in front of his desk, and waited until Lake sat down before saying, "The speech was excellent. Curtis said the new students were thrilled. Even I was thrilled after watching the video."
Lake said, "Thank you for the compliment, Director."
modesty?
Can that thing be eaten?
Director Burt clasped his hands together and pointed to a document in front of him. "The Internal Affairs Investigation Division's investigation report is out. What do you think of the results?"
Lake said: "I have never taken a penny of dirty money."
He has always been a traitor and accepted bribes, which is not in line with his personality.
Director Burt didn't even open the investigation report in front of him. He just grabbed it and threw it into the trash can beside him under Lake's gaze. "Congratulations, Inspector Edwin, your suspension ends today."
Lake stood up and said, "Thank you, Director."
Strictly speaking, this matter should not have been announced by Director Burt in front of him, but by Superintendent Montgomery of their Homicide and Serious Crimes Unit.
but...
Director Burt shook Lake's hand and said, "This is what I can do to help you within my job scope. If it weren't for you, Jonathan wouldn't have come down from the battlefield alive."
Jonathan was Lake's teammate when he joined the army. During an operation on an overseas battlefield, Lake saved his life. It was only later that Lake learned that Jonathan's father was Director Burt in front of him.
Lake said: "This is what I should do, Director. Jonathan and I are teammates."
Director Burt nodded and sat down again.
Seeing this, Lake said, "Director, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Director Burt nodded and said nothing.
Lake turned and left.
The serious crime unit floor.
The serious crime squad, which occupies an entire floor, is located on the third floor of the police station building, ensuring the fastest possible response time. All three teams of the serious crime squad are located here.
bite!
As soon as the elevator door opened and Lake was about to walk out, a woman he had never met before, dressed in casual clothes and who seemed to be a police officer, said "make way" and passed by Lake.
Walked into the office of Police Chief Montgomery.
Lake blinked.
"Hey, brother!"
"Esposito!"
Esposito, who worked in the Second Crime Squad under Detective Beckett and had a touch of Mexican ancestry, came out of the adjacent cafeteria with a cup of coffee. He greeted Lake and, looking at the plainclothes woman walking into Chief Montgomery's office, asked curiously, "Who is this?"
"have no idea."
Lake shrugged and said so, then moved his nose and stepped aside: "Jesus Christ, brother, what is that smell on you?"
Although Westerners have a strong body odor, shouldn't this mean they should pay more attention to personal hygiene? Lake bought deodorants in various flavors, including orange, apple, and banana.
"We've been staking out the car for three days and just caught the Afghan driver who was collaborating with the terrorists. What do you think?"
"...You really should take a shower."
"It's work time now."
"Believe me, if the superintendent smells you, he would rather you go back and take a shower than let you stay here and pollute the air."
"…"
Lake said this to Esposito sincerely, then pointed to an empty space and asked, "George and the others haven't come back yet?"
Esposito said, "Not yet. They've finished collecting evidence against the Dacia crime family. They should be going to make an arrest."
"sharp."
Lake exclaimed in admiration.
The Dacia crime family is a small criminal organization. There are at least twenty such organizations in New York, but there is a big background behind the Dacia family.
It is said that...
The Dacia crime family is one of the many underlings of Hell's Kitchen boss Kingpin.
Kingpin's name is well-known throughout the New York law enforcement community. After all, any young man who has just joined the law enforcement team will think about arresting Kingpin one day after learning who Kingpin is.
pity...
Everyone knows that Jin Bing is very bad and cruel, but he is rich. In the past few years, some people have thought about arresting Jin Bing, but every time the seemingly conclusive evidence was presented in court, Jin Bing's lawyers, who were hired with a million-dollar salary, would find loopholes and the judge would not accept it.
Kingpin may not kill law enforcement officers, but he dared to attack jury members, and Kingpin has a different relationship with City Hall and even New York State Hall.
Most of the inspectors in other branches avoided Jin Bing like snakes and scorpions, except for the three inspectors in the headquarters.
This may be the reason why Lake, Beckett and George can become the three major detectives of the headquarters' serious crime squad.
Lake said to Esposito, "The Dacia family is a small family, but if we defeat Dacia, it will probably be hard for Jin Bing for a while."
Esposito said, "Isn't that how we plan to remove hair?"
Lake laughed.
Last year, when Lake, George, and Beckett were drinking together, they talked about the ultimate prize in New York law enforcement, the Kingpin. After a few discussions, the three of them came up with a plan codenamed "Hair Removal."
