Jerry and Reeves got along better and better as they talked, and they were like heroes who admired each other.
After drinking a glass of wine, Jerry's face turned red. He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "Although the rectification of Inglewood District has been effective, it will not be easy to eliminate the mafia in the entire city of Chicago..."
"Oh, it's okay!" Reeves replied, "Everything must be done step by step, little by little it adds up to a lot!"
Jerry nodded silently and said to Keshia and Gina, "I have something serious to say to Reeves, you two can go to the bar and chat for a while!"
"Okay!" Keshia stood up with a smile and pulled Gina out of the private room.
Jerry said, "Tell me, Reeves! What's going on with the interrogation of Frank?"
"Frank confessed everything," Reeves said. "Last time, that Sheriff Duke did betray your police department. He just didn't accept bribes from the gangs. He was just jealous of you becoming the chief."
Jerry frowned and sighed after hearing this.
It is really hard to accept that an old friend who I have known for many years would betray me out of jealousy. However, fortunately, Duke did not accept bribes from the gang, so he still has a conscience.
"Yeah, I see," Jerry said. "What about the congressman's assassination last year? Any information?"
Ribbs replied: "The assassination of the congressman was indeed arranged by Blair. However, it seems to be related to the liberal wing of the Republican Party and seems to be a political struggle within the Republican Party."
"I've done some private research, and those Republican congressmen all have some sort of mafia background," Jerry said. "We shouldn't act rashly on this matter!"
Ribbs nodded in approval, but added, "Now, I have Blair's pornographic video in my hands, and I can get him out of office anytime."
After a moment's thought, Jerry said, "Even if Blair were to step down now, it wouldn't do us any good. It would be better for him to stay in his seat as an MP and work for us, so that he can play his best role."
"Yeah, that's true." Libus agreed, "Then I won't touch him for now. I'll find him when I need you."
Jerry nodded, lit another cigarette, and seemed worried.
"What's wrong with you, brother? We rarely see each other, why are you so sad?" asked Ribs.
"Ribbs, you may not understand the situation in Chicago," Jerry said. "Chicago was once known as a political machine."
"What do you mean?"
Jerry said: "Chicago politics is full of party machines and power networks. During the Obama era, the political advisory group of the "Chicago Gang" was born. The Daley family, in particular, has a huge influence that we cannot shake..."
"Things haven't reached that point yet, why worry so much?" Reeves said, "Who cares about their family power? They all developed little by little! They're powerful, but our Black Rabbit Gang is no less powerful! When you get to the point, there's always a way out. Just do it!"
These words gave Jerry great encouragement. He put out his cigarette and said, "Alright! Let's get started! I'll be transferred to the Anti-Crime and Narcotics Division soon. But don't worry, I'll make arrangements for the Inglewood branch before I leave!"
"Okay! Cheers, Director!" Ribs raised his glass and said, "Oh no! I should call you Director!"
The two drank the rest of their cocktails, stood up together and left the private room.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Ribs took the two sisters back to his large flat.
As soon as Jerry returned to the police station, he called Sheriff Duke over.
Duke pushed open the door to the director's office and walked in. He asked nonchalantly, "Director, it's already time to get off work. Why did you ask me to come back? Is there a case?"
Jerry stared at him motionlessly and said, "Hey, man, we've known each other for about ten years, right?"
"Yes! I was the one who brought you here when you first joined the police station!" Duke replied.
"Well," Jerry said, "the person I trust most in the Inglewood precinct is you, Duke."
At this time, Sheriff Duke also noticed that Jerry's tone seemed wrong. He asked in confusion: "Chief, why are you saying this? What happened?"
"Tell me, Duke!" Jerry suddenly raised his voice, "Why did the last attempt to capture Frank fail?"
Both of them have been police officers for many years. Duke understood that since Jerry dared to ask this, he must have already found out the situation behind it.
"Oh! I knew... this would be exposed sooner or later." Duke said, "I'm sorry, old man! I was confused for a moment... When I went to the scene that day, I regretted it. But there's nothing I can do, things have already come to this..."
Seeing Duke being so frank, Jerry's anger subsided by half.
"Chief, I'm sorry to the police station and even more sorry to you!" Duke continued, "You can do whatever you want to me! Or just send me to the prosecutor's office. This is what I deserve..."
Everyone has jealousy. A beggar would not envy the emperor, but would envy beggars who earn more than him.
When he first joined the police station, his position was lower than Duke's, but now he has become the director and Duke's boss.
Duke was upset and jealous, and Jerry could understand that.
Fortunately, his old friend stopped himself in time and did not accept bribes from the gang, completely becoming their lackey.
Jerry looked at Duke with a look of regret, and felt a lot of emotions.
Over the years, he has known Duke and knows clearly that Duke is a capable and good policeman.
Everyone makes mistakes. Jerry is about to be transferred to the General Administration, and he doesn't want Duke's career to be completely ruined because of this incident.
Jerry was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Hey, man, I'm getting a promotion soon to the Anti-Drug Division of the General Administration. We're counting on you to handle the affairs of the Inglewood District!"
After hearing this, Sheriff Duke looked at Jerry in surprise: "You...what do you mean by that?"
Jerry said, "Duke, I will recommend you for the position of precinct chief. But you must remember not to cause trouble for the Black Rabbit Gang. The security in Inglewood is entirely due to the Black Rabbit Gang."
"What... Chief, you're not going to deal with me?" Duke looked shocked.
"What are you dealing with, man? I don't know you yet!" Jerry said with a smile, "I believe you, man!"
Duke was speechless when he saw Jerry who trusted him so much.
A few seconds later, Duke's nose felt sore and tears welled up in his eyes: "Jerry, I'm sorry... If the arrest of Frank had gone smoothly last time, you would have gone to the headquarters long ago!"
"Oh, don't talk about it! It's all in the past, let's not talk about it!" Jerry said magnanimously.
"Good! Good buddy!" Duke said tearfully, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here at the Inglewood police station, I'll always listen to you!"
"Okay!" Jerry stood up, patted Duke on the shoulder, and left the director's office.
