Chapter 48 Is the Police Station Wrong?
"The robbery of the Gold Bank in Beichangqing Community not long ago made our station a successful turnaround!"

"But since that time, our [Editorial Department] has never had a refreshing news!"

"I don't think we need to continue to be so decadent. If we don't see any new news this week, I think we [the editorial department] can make a proper replacement!"

Bernard Bush, director of WJLA-TV's [editing and editing department], stood in front of the conference table with a serious face, holding a small notebook in his hand and speaking clearly.

As a graduate of Syracuse University in New York State, Emily Dunn usually looks heartless, but every time she sees a handsome guy, she will look like a nympho.

But after Emily Dunn graduated from Syracuse University, she stuck her head into the ABC. You must know that Syracuse University's public relations major is the most powerful major in the United States!

Emily Dunn not only escaped the layoffs of the ABC in the early 80s, but also survived the great changes in the American media industry in 84.

Although Emily Dunn appeared on the [Layoff List] every time, Emily Dunn was able to hide every time.

Emily Dunn sat below and looked at her colleagues who were almost 40, and couldn't help but nodded acquiescingly. As a TV news channel with only 70 households in the United States, WJLA-TV is undoubtedly a failure.

There are nearly 40 investigative reporters here every day, not only the expenses are huge, but the company is also unhappy.

The biggest problem is that the public relations expenses of the No. 40 people are no less than those of the program upstairs, but none of the useful news clues can be brought back.

Bernal Bush nodded with satisfaction when he saw the faces of everyone below, and then said: "The news that broke out at the Long Beach Port the day before yesterday has entered the stage of police investigation. Has anyone here got any clues?"

"Georgi Beru? You have a lot of connections in the Los Angeles Police Department. Have you got any clues?"

Emily Dunn heard Bernal Bush's words and followed her gaze. Georgie Bellou can be said to be their WJLA-TV's ace investigative reporter. If WJLA-TV can collect If there are 1000 news leads, public channels account for 70%, and Georgi alone can account for 5%, and there can be some major cases every month.

Georgi Beru is a middle-aged man. Hearing the boss' roll call, Georgi replied with a look of embarrassment: "Recently, the director of the Robbery-Murder Division of the Los Angeles Police Department has replaced him with a new one." Superintendent, with the reduction of our public relations expenses, I can't even enter the other party's door~"

Bernal Bush heard Georgie's answer and didn't say anything else but turned to look at Emily Dunn.

Emily Dunn couldn't help lowering her head when she saw the leader's sight, trying to avoid the leader's sight, because she can no longer contact her mysterious informant~
"Emily! What about you? Is your informant still in touch?"

"Keep it safe, but he's been fine recently."

Before Emily Dunn finished speaking, there was a hasty knock on the door of the conference room~
"Dong Dong Dong~"

Bernard Bush frowned and watched the voice at the door of the meeting room, and opened the door impatiently: "What's wrong!"

"Mr. Bernal, the [Long Beach shooting case] has been solved, and the director of the Maritime Patrol Division of the Los Angeles Police Department, Dennis Monzon, has made a public introduction on TV."

"What??? Are our reporters present?" Bernal Bush was simply surprised when he learned about the incident, and then asked if WJLA-TV had interviewed.

"Yes sir, our journalists have also been granted access. After all, we still have a lot of subscriber families in Washington."

"okay."
-
Tausi and Marco saw Dennis Monzon, director of the Maritime Patrol Division of the Los Angeles Police Department on TV, explaining and analyzing the case to the public as soon as they arrived on the floor where WJLA-TV was located~
Marco on the side pointed at the content on the TV and stammered anxiously: "He...he...fake! Fake! I'm so mad!"

"Heh, you expect the American police to tell the truth? The American police can't be wrong?" Tao Xi said something disdainful to Marco, then walked towards the front desk with his arms around Marco.

Tao Xi, who walked to the front desk, was obviously unhappy when he saw the news on TV, and angrily shouted at the pretty girl at the front desk: "I'm looking for Emily Dunn!"

The young lady lying at the front desk who was secretly putting on makeup and being lazy was taken aback. Seeing Tao Xi's angry face, she didn't know what to say, and stood there at a loss.

"You Emily?"

"Yes, investigative reporter! Tell her something urgent!" Tao Xi patted the table at the front desk impatiently and ordered.

"Okay, I'll go now~"

Tao Xi watched Dennis Monson introduce the details of the case on TV with a youthful face. What Tao Xi couldn't accept the most was that the case of smuggling of smuggled goods could not be investigated, and he kept talking about the case. The name is Sercy Anthony tells a story~
For a while, Tao Xi worried that if he became a rich man in the future, he would be slaughtered as a fat pig~
Marko also stared dumbfounded at the man in a suit and collar talking nonsense on TV, because he really thought that American TV news was authoritative when he had never been exposed to it before!
But what happened on the ship, Marco felt that any fool could find out if he had to investigate carefully.

When Emily Dunn came running, Tausi could see the love on her face!
When Emily Dunn was about to rush to him, Tao Xi picked up the mirror from the front desk that the girl at the front desk dropped on the table just now, looked at his own face seriously, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not handsome, am I? Why is she still a nympho?"

"Where have you been lately? I've looked for you several times!" Emily Dunn grabbed Tao Xi's hand before she reached Tao Xi, and burrowed into the corner where no one was around.

Tao Xi looked at the empty stairs around him, then glanced at Emily Dunn who was opposite, and took a step back involuntarily.

"I couldn't find you no matter how hard I searched recently!" Emily Dunn helped her silver-white glasses frame and looked at Tao Xi happily.

"Why are you looking for me?"

"Hey! You are my informant! Each of our investigative reporters has a budget for public relations informants. I have to see if you have any good news leads recently. I have to prepare money."

As soon as Tao Xi heard that what Emily said was very reasonable, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Emily Dunn couldn't help curling her lips when she saw Tao Xi's perfunctory look: "What's the matter with you this time? The video of the Long Beach bombing was sold to several companies by the Explorer Company. I heard They make a lot of money."

"Really? How much?" Tao Xi asked seriously as soon as he heard Emily talking about money, he immediately forgot the unhappiness on TV just now.

"I don't know about Fox, but we paid $5000 for a video upstairs."

"Tsk, it's only $5000, it's really a little low."

Marko, who had been shrinking behind Tao Xi, his eyes lit up when he heard the $5000, and Marko hinted at Tao Xi very anxiously when he saw Tao Xi like this.

Emily Dunn's eyes lit up as soon as she heard Tao Xi say this, and Emily's eyes made Tao Xi jump.

But soon Emily said with regret on her face: "Can you contact me in advance when you have news, this case has been solved, okay?"

Tao Xi didn't want to hear Emily say this, so he said, "If you say he broke it, he broke it? Wouldn't the Los Angeles Police Department make mistakes!"

"I have a total of 3 videotapes. Since I am late this time, I will give you the first videotape for free."

"But for the second video, I need you to pay me 2 dollars." Seeing that Emily Dunn wanted to reject him, Tao Xi directly reached out and rejected him: "Don't be so busy rejecting me , take this videotape back and have a look first, I think you will definitely contact me again."

Tao Xi didn't allow Emily to say a second sentence after saying these words, turned around and left.

"Hey! How can I contact you!"

"Oh, by the way, I don't have a phone at home, I will contact you when I arrive."

Emily Dunn watched Tao Xi's leaving back and quickly returned to her station with the two video tapes Tao Xi gave him.

As soon as the video tape on the TV screen was turned on, Emily Dunn forgot the scene that she would never forget. A speedboat was shooting at the surrounding coast guard patrol boats. The occasional sound of bullets shooting made Emily Dunn instantly Millie Dunn remembered the video of the robbery of the Gold Bank that Tao Xi provided him last time~
The two videos are the same. The bullets and explosions at the scene and the feeling of facing the crime will definitely make the American people discuss this topic again. Emily Dunn immediately thought of several things that can quickly become popular through this clip. topic~
Immediately after the camera turned, Serge Anthony, the suspect on the boat, was throwing bombs at the coast guard patrol boat on the sea. The splashed waves splashed onto the screen, and the person holding the camera was obviously a little nervous a moment ~
When seeing the video of this scene, Emily Dunn screamed directly at her workstation: "wht? are you kidding me? How did this video get shot!!!"

The brief surprise instantly attracted the attention of colleagues around~
Adhering to the low-key development, Emily Dunn continued to watch after prevaricating all her colleagues. After she finished watching the two video tapes, Emily Dunn took a deep breath and looked at the videotape hanging in mid-air in the office. Dennis Monzon, Director of the Maritime Patrol Division, who was still answering questions from reporters on TV, Emily just let out a disdainful "hum"~
As a reporter who has been engaged in the media industry for many years, she obviously knows a lot of secrets~
But a superintendent who just came to the position and was eager to make meritorious service did such a thing regardless of the truth of the news. Emily really couldn't figure out why he had to continue to be the superintendent.

After thinking about all this, Emily picked up the phone on her desk~
"Hello, is that Mr. Damien? I'm your student, well, I have a news thread, and I don't think he's going to give my informant a $3 honorarium, that's why I called you, And I heard that you don't seem to be very satisfied with the law and order in California recently. I just have a very important message here. Okay. I'm in the office. Well, I'll go upstairs. My informant is very money-oriented. I hope you Ready to go!"

After making the phone call, Emily didn't care about the intentions of her colleagues around her, holding the two video tapes with a serious face, and walked towards the elevator leading directly to the top floor of ABC.

Dennis Monzon, a rising star in the California police force, enjoyed the banquet hosted by his colleagues proudly.

In order to become the director of the Maritime Patrol Division, Dennis Monzon admitted that he did put in a lot of effort. After all, the current highest level in the United States was the governor of California before. He had just received a media conference from the highest level. Celebrate the call yet.

Dennis Monzon chatted vigorously with his female partner in his arms.

"Dennis, when can you separate from that woman in your family?"

"Oh! My God! Today is not the time to talk about this. Be good, I will contact my friend tomorrow to ask you to participate in the interview of [Guest from Outer Space]."

Dennis Monzon saw his female companion's expression softened and hurriedly walked over with Jeffrey, an old man from the Los Angeles Police Department.

"Wow, our hero from the Los Angeles Police Department is here, and it looks like next year there will be another congressman in the White House!" Jeffrey sneered at Dennis Monzon while drinking the red wine in his hand with his legs crossed. .

Dennis Monzon took the initiative to sit beside Jeffrey and handed over a Cuban cigar: "Taste, the cigarettes I just bought from Cuba."

Jeffrey put the cigar under his nose and took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Good stuff."

Then Jeffrey pushed back the cigar in his hand, took out a box of old captain cigarettes from his underwear pocket, and started smoking. The accompanying champagne scene makes him somewhat complicated.

Dennis Monzon wasn't offended to see that Geoffrey wasn't interested in actively chatting with him.

After all, Jeffrey is the only police teacher in the Los Angeles Police Department who came out of the federal police academy in the 70s. Although I don’t know why he became the warden in the end, but the last time he returns now is a secretary. long!
Although there have been a lot of discussions in the Los Angeles Police Department about the director who came by airborne recently, it is something a qualified politician needs to do to turn on the cold stove.

Not to mention the students Jeffrey taught during the three years when he was a teacher at the Federal Police Academy. The group of policemen he taught has now gone through ten years of development.

In the United States, his police system is very complicated!
The U.S. police are mainly divided into three levels: federal, state, and city and county.

The federal and state police exercise the police powers conferred by the federal and state respectively.The powers of substate police are left to the states themselves.In addition to the federal police, the state police, city police, county police and private security do not have any subordinate relationship with the federal government, but are directly led by the local government.

It just so happened that Dennis Monzon belonged to the city police, and the Coast Guard Patrol Division was set up by the Los Angeles State Government based on his own long coastline.

On the surface, the state police, city police, and county police have no affiliation, but in fact, the state police has a larger authority than the city police in terms of firepower and jurisdiction!
If the speedboat that broke in unexpectedly that day met the state police, they might have been covered by the helicopter firepower network in the sky without even having a chance to open fire.

Dennis Monzon also wants to make good use of Jeffrey's network in order to better develop to the top in the future!

"Mr. Jeffrey, you don't seem to be in a good mood recently?"

Jeffrey glanced at the high-spirited face of Dennis Monzon on the opposite side and couldn't help shaking his head: "Dennis, you don't need to worry about my affairs, I think you may have to worry about yourself now, you know why Evan Bu Did Lando give you the chance to explain to the media what should have belonged to the State Police? Did you really think your call worked?"

Hearing Jeffrey's words, Dennis Monzon glanced at Evan Brando standing in the crowd from the corner of his eye and shook his head.

"Don't worry, nothing good will happen. I have seen your police records that day and all the details of the crimes at the scene. Don't you think their caliber is too consistent?"

Jeffrey Kyle saw Dennis Monzon's bewildered face, shook his head helplessly, and then got up and left, only Dennis Monzon was left sitting there stupidly.

Jeffrey Kyle, who walked out of the banquet hall, took a deep breath of the fresh air at the door and did not leave in a hurry.

After a while, a black policeman who came in a police car got out of the car and ran all the way to Jeffrey: "Superintendent, this is the impounded passport you want. The application for the right to govern the application has come."

"Okay! Go ahead, watch him when you go to Burbank to take charge of security, and don't let him mess around!"

After Jeffrey said this, he waved the kraft paper file bag in his hand and left here with a calm expression, but the black policeman standing behind him respected Jeffrey's back with an excited expression. a gift.

"Lules?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Lules Carlson turned his head in surprise: "Evan Brando? Superintendent Evan!"

Evan Brando first motioned his wife to wait for him in the parking lot, and then walked around Lules slowly and asked, "What are you doing here? I remember you were not on duty today?"

"I, I... something." The hesitant Lules lowered his head for a long time without saying a word.

Evan Brando looked at an old car passing by him and deliberately "pressed" the horn. Evan Brando looked at the car and then at the man who stood still Lules did not speak for a long time.
