Living in North America, working from 9 to 5

Chapter 25 Joint Investigation Team (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
If we increase the width...

So it changes from 6 to 7.

Isn't that a monster?
Even among the black community, it is rare.

What Roy lacks now is not outward expansion, but strategic depth.

Seeing Roy looking embarrassed and somewhat reluctant to go, Gordon said:

"I know you're tired, but you can't go against the money, right?"

Gordon looked Roy in the eyes.

Then he added:
"A total of 11 people died at your hands this time. According to the rules, no matter what the reason is, whether they are on duty or not, if a police officer is directly involved in someone's death, they must receive psychological counseling. You need Irina's mental health report."

Roy sighed softly: "For the money's sake."

Gordon smiled.

He patted Roy on the shoulder and said:

"That's right. Don't worry about your sister. I have reported your feud with the motorcycle gang to the higher-ups. The chief has agreed to send a team of police officers to be responsible for your sister's safety. My colleagues from the Manhattan branch will be on duty at the Presbyterian Hospital 24 hours a day.

The security measures of the Presbyterian Hospital are the best in the United States. You must undergo security checks when entering the hospital. Moreover, your sister is currently in the ICU ward. Apart from the attending physician and the ICU nurses, no one else can approach her, let alone enter. You don't have to worry about the motorcycle gang hurting your sister in revenge against you. I have arranged everything."

"Thank you, Chief. I'm sorry for your trouble."

Roy was very grateful for Gordon's arrangement.

But he also understood one thing.

Who is Gordon?

Gordon knew exactly what he needed.

That's money.

What is the money used for?
Of course, it’s to pay medical expenses.

If something happens to my sister.

Then do I still need to work for him for money?

Roy knew that he was the best cleaner and could bring huge value and benefits to Gordon.

As long as Irene is alive, Gordon is confident that he can control Roy.

So, this is also for himself.

Protecting Irene is a win-win situation.

Gordon stood up:
"Come on, I'll take you to see the investigation team."

……

……

……

Interrogation area.

Outside the two interrogation rooms at the ends of the corridor, there were two long lines, one for gang members and the other for police officers in uniform.

Every once in a while, people would come in and out of the interrogation room.

As soon as Roy appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Now, he has become the talk of the bureau. Colleagues who participated in the on-site handling at that time praised Roy to the skies, and some female colleagues even secretly made up their minds to take down Roy.

Gordon took Roy into a separate interrogation room.

There were three people sitting in the interrogation room, two men and one woman.

The middle-aged woman was wearing a black business suit; the middle-aged man was wearing a white police uniform; and the other middle-aged man was wearing a black suit.

Gordon said:
"That's Roy von Weizsäcker."

The three of them looked at the young Officer Roy at the same time.

"Roy, this lady is Senator Deirdre from the New York State Assembly,"

Roy extended his hand and shook the congresswoman's hand.

"This is our Chief Superintendent of Police, Charako."

Continue to shake hands with Chief Police Inspector Charako.

"This is Chief Rhyme, Deputy Director of the FBI in New York City."

Shake hands again.

"sit down!"

Roy sat down opposite the three of them.

Gordon sat to the side.

A copy of Roy's personal information was placed in front of each of the three highest-ranking officials in the investigation team.

State Senator Deirdre spoke first:
"Officer Roy, according to your information, you have been on administrative leave twice in less than a year since joining the police force. This time, you fought 15 gang members on your own. Oh, sorry, I said it wrong, it was 14, and the other one was an undercover agent from the FBI."

At this point, the congresswoman looked at Deputy Director Lyme beside her. Then, Deirdre continued to ask:
"Can you tell me what happened?"

Roy told the bigwigs in the room what happened truthfully.

[Lying: Lying ability +1]

[Under interrogation: adaptability +1]

He just made a minor change to the content, changing the process of his feud with the motorcycle gang to a conflict that occurred when he was patrolling the club and injuring a motorcycle gang member.

Listen to the entire process.

The three big men looked at each other.

There was an expression of disbelief in their eyes.

You know, it was 1 to 15.

The New York Police Department has not achieved such a record in decades.

They watched Roy carefully.

What kind of ability does this young man have that he could kill 11 people and seriously injure 4 under such circumstances? It is really a bit unbelievable.

Next, a few questions were asked, led by the FBI Deputy Director.

Roy answered truthfully and fluently.

[Lying: Lying ability +1]

The entire answering process was flawless and there were no loopholes.

Roy killed Agent Ryan without telling him his identity in advance.

The Night Gang members who were questioned only had to tell the actual situation at the scene. After all, when they rushed to the scene, the fight was over and Agent Ryan had fallen into a coma.

The police officers arrived later and saw even less than the gang members, so they only needed to answer truthfully.

Now, there is no evidence.

Even if the FBI is extremely unhappy, they can only swallow their anger and endure it.

In the year 2000, due to the limitations of technology, various video and recording equipment had not yet been miniaturized and were relatively large, so only law enforcement recording equipment was installed in police cars at the time, and police officers did not have any video recording equipment.

There is no surveillance in that alley.

The members of the investigation team could only see some unimportant things through the recorder in the police car that arrived late.

Plus, Gordon found Irina.

There is a 100% chance that Roy will be found not responsible.

However, because an FBI undercover agent died, the rewards and medals that should have been given will definitely be cancelled. This is also to take the FBI's feelings into consideration.

Roy naturally would not have any objection.

In the evening, the sun sets over the western mountains.

The investigation team took away all the interrogation records and the notes made by the police at the time.

When they walked out of the Brooklyn police station, the investigation team was surrounded by reporters waiting outside. The reporters asked questions one after another:

“Is it true that a gang attacked police officers, resulting in 11 deaths and 4 serious injuries?”

“Will the police officers involved be punished?”

“Will the police compensate the 11 people who died?”

"The life of a criminal is also a life. I hope the police will handle this incident fairly and impartially and I hope you can give the citizens an explanation."

"What was the name of the police officer at that time?"

Faced with various questions from reporters, the members of the investigation team ignored them and squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the parking lot.

The reporters kept asking questions while chasing him.

"No comment!"

"I've already said it, no comment!"

"What was the name of the police officer at that time?" the reporter asked.

Chief Superintendent Charlaco of the New York City Police Department looked at the reporter angrily and said loudly:

"For the safety of our officers, we will not disclose the identities of the officers. All investigations will be conducted by the joint investigation team, and future hearings will not be open to the public."

After that, the members of the investigation team got into the car one after another.

Only a group of reporters who looked like they had eaten shit were left at the scene.

Roy, who was in the branch, sighed and muttered in his heart:

"Irina, who are you?"

Roy called Irina's private number.

At this moment, Ma Hong had gone crazy after learning the preliminary results.
