The conversation with the director only lasted ten minutes, but Li Yalin seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden.
He knew very well the mayor's intention to retire early. Even if the blame was not directly placed on him, in the eyes of the public, he was still the one taking the blame.
And letting yourself retire early is your own punishment.
At that time, I will exaggerate my contribution to New York and subtly release a message to people, that is: Although Lao Li did not handle things well this time, he is still dedicated to the people of New York.
After many years of hard work, it can be regarded as a reward. Now this old man also knows that he was wrong and took the initiative to request early retirement. Seeing that he has worked hard for New York for most of his life, everyone should not be too hard on him.
Generally speaking, people accept this method.
This is like the security guard in his community who has worked hard for half his life. He has been trying his best to protect the safety of this community for half his life. As a result, when he was about to retire, he accidentally let in a group of thieves. Who can blame him?
Thinking of this, Li Yalin admired the mayor immensely.
Although this mayor is not Chinese, he has been a policeman for 22 years and his methods are very powerful.
This time, he used himself to move a thousand pounds.
When public anger is so great, only by playing the emotional card and taking the path of pity can we overcome toughness with softness.
For Li Yalin himself, although this method will make him feel humiliated, he has no other choice at the moment.
So, he picked up the walkie-talkie and issued his last order as the detective, asking all members of the special operations team to evacuate from the Fei Group headquarters building immediately.
The withdrawal of the special operations team officially declared the failure of this capture operation.
The media reporters were waiting for the police spokesperson to come out and explain the situation. Li Yalin, who was more than ten years old, stepped in front of all the media reporters.
At this time, countless reporters, holding long guns and short cannons, tried their best to ask Li Yalin their various questions loudly.
Li Yalin stretched out his hands to signal everyone to quiet down, and then said: "I'm sorry for taking up everyone's and the Fei Group's time. Our arrest operation has failed due to errors in intelligence and decision-making. Now the special operations team has withdrawn.
Come out, Fei Group will be able to resume normal office order immediately."
The media reporter still wanted to ask more questions, but Li Yalin said directly: "I know what everyone wants to ask. The mistake this time was mainly due to me. I have suffered a lot of negative effects on my body and spirit recently, and I am already older."
I am really not suitable to continue to be responsible for such a major case, so I have resigned from Mayor Adams and applied for early retirement."
When the media reporters at the scene heard this, they were stunned and stunned.
No one expected that this Chinese detective with a good reputation would suddenly announce his early retirement.
At this time, Li Yalin said with a face of shame: "Regarding the recent cases in New York, I am deeply sorry. My failure to predict the crime in advance and stop it was my dereliction of duty as a police officer. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the people of New York and the United States.
Say sorry!"
After that, Li Yalin faced the camera and bowed deeply.
Then, without waiting for reporters to ask questions, he turned around and left the scene in a car under the cover of several police officers.
Soon, the news that Li Yalin announced his early retirement was reported by major media.
Ye Chen, who was quietly watching Gu Qiuyi's rehearsal, also received the push message.
When he saw this message, his expression was slightly surprised, but he soon returned to normal.
Ye Chen has no grievances against Li Yalin, and from the bottom of his heart he does not want him to retire early in this way, but Fei Haoyang's incident puts the two on actual opposite sides, so the contradiction cannot be unified, and there must always be one side between the two.
Naturally, Ye Chen didn't want it to be him who had to bear the consequences of failure in this matter.
Moreover, Li Yalin has already traced clues to Chen Zhaozhong's restaurant, and now retiring early is a good thing in Ye Chen's opinion. At least he will not put too much pressure on Chen Zhaozhong in the future.
On the way back to the police station, Li Yalin's friend An Chongqiu also called and asked with concern: "Old Li, what's going on? Are you being used to block the gun from above?"
"Yes." Li Yalin gave a wry smile and said, "This wave of public opinion offensive is too vicious, so we can only push this old guy out to win sympathy."
An Chongqiu sighed and said, "Actually, you shouldn't investigate the murderers in this matter..."
Li Yalin said helplessly: "The deal is done. It's too late to say this now. Moreover, my personality does not allow me to turn a blind eye to this kind of criminal behavior that uses violence to counter violence."
An Chongqiu hummed and asked him: "Then what are your plans next?"
Li Yalin said: "I will go back to the police station to hand over my work now, and I will officially start my retirement tomorrow."
As he spoke, he remembered something and said, "Is the old man's condition better now? How about I go to Los Angeles to see his old man. He is seriously ill this time and I didn't go to see him. It's really unreasonable."
An Chongqiu said: "You should stop going to Los Angeles. The old lady wants to go to New York to attend Miss Gu's concert. Her requirement is that we children must also be present. The old man has been persuaded by her and we will go there together at noon tomorrow."
Li Yalin exclaimed: "Don't you remember what happened these years? Why are you willing to come to New York?"
An Chongqiu said: "As long as the old man opens his eyes now, the old lady will spend more than an hour giving him a popular science introduction, explaining his situation and the things he can't remember in the past 20 years, Jian Duanjie said
I wanted to give him a review. I wish I could say the same thing to Che Zuluan seven or eight times a day. As soon as the old man heard that Miss Gu was his grandson-in-law and saved his life, he agreed to go with her."
Li Yalin asked: "What are your plans for tomorrow? Let's see if you have time to have a meal together?"
An Chongqiu said: "Okay, let's go to the Anbang Building in Manhattan at noon tomorrow. With so many properties, apart from the manor in Los Angeles, the old man's favorite is the Anbang Building. How about you come over and have lunch together tomorrow at noon?
Bar."
Li Yalin sighed: "Your sister was the one who invested heavily in Anbang Building, right?"
"Yes." An Chongqiu said: "Everything related to my sister, the old man has deep feelings."
"It's understandable." Li Yalin said: "By the way, Chongqiu, the owner of the roast goose shop, I always feel that there is something wrong with him. While I still have some connections in the bureau, I plan to check it out in the next two days.
His bottom.”
An Chongqiu was silent for a moment and sighed: "Forget it, Old Li, whether he really has any secrets or not, I don't plan to find out. After all, Miss Gu is kind to the An family."
"Understood." Li Yalin said cheerfully: "Then leave him alone."
An Chongqiu thanked him: "Thank you for worrying about Lao Li. Let's meet tomorrow and talk in detail!"
"Okay!" Li Yalin said, "Let me know when you arrive tomorrow and I will go there."
"good."
The two brothers hung up the phone, and Li Yalin held the phone with a complicated expression.
Li Yalin always felt that the owner of the roast goose shop was very strange. Let's not talk about whether he had any secret connection with An Chongqiu. His relationship with Gu Qiuyi alone made Li Yalin suspicious.
He always felt that the murderer who kidnapped and killed Fei Haoyang should be related to both Fei Kexin and Gu Qiuyi.
Now, Fei Kexin's road has become a dead end. If you want to get to the bottom of it again, I'm afraid the only way is Gu Qiuyi!
Thinking of this, he still felt a little unwilling.
At this time, a close friend called me. As soon as the call was answered, the other party asked impatiently: "Boss, why did you retire early?!"
Li Yalin smiled and said: "My early retirement can not only give an explanation to the people, but also give the bureau a step forward. It is the best solution at the moment."
"Hey!" The other party sighed and said, "This thing is really fucked up!"
Li Yalin asked him: "By the way, are there any new clues about the matter you were asked to investigate?"
"Yes." The other party said quickly: "After some research, although this roast goose shop owner has been in the United States for more than 20 years, he has always been an illegal immigrant, and he is most likely from Hong Kong Island, so I have already found a Hong Kong
The informant on the other side of the island helped with the investigation to see if he can find out his true identity."
"Okay!" Li Yalin suddenly became energetic and blurted out: "Xiaowu, although I quit early, you must continue to investigate this matter, maybe there will be big gains!"
