After Jason Dine finished speaking, he opened the car door and motioned for Ribs to get out.
Then he stepped on the accelerator, and the old Chevy's engine roared into the night.
In the rearview mirror, Ribs' figure gradually shrank into a small dot and finally disappeared around the corner.
Ribs looked at the direction Jason Dine drove away, sighed and shook his head.
This guy is indeed a capable detective, but he's blinded by hatred. It would be a shame if he were to be destroyed by the executioner's gang...
…
Ribs got the evidence of Congressman Kinsaiban's crime and took immediate action.
At the city council meeting the next day, he again brought up the proposal to increase police funding by $20 million.
Reeves, holding the proposal as before, continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, the average age of Chicago police cars exceeds the federal standard by three times! Last month, during a pursuit of drug dealers in the South Side, an old Ford Interceptor exploded..."
This time, although several Democratic congressmen did not interrupt Reebok, they all looked at him with contempt.
"I really don't understand this Reeves." Jin Saiban said contemptuously to the party member next to him, "We just rejected this guy's proposal last time, and he dares to bring it up again... What's the point? It's just us rejecting it again!"
"...If we don't increase the police budget, Chicago will truly be a gangster city!"
After Libus finished speaking about all the proposals, he glanced around and slowly asked, "Now that I've finished speaking, who's in favor and who's against?"
"I object!" Jin Saiban stood up immediately. "Your proposal is totally unacceptable! Last time..."
Bang! There was a loud bang.
Before Jin Saiban could finish his words, he was slapped by Ribs!
With this slap, Reeves didn't hold back at all and directly slapped Kim Saiban away!
All the members present were stunned, even the sleeping Speaker Edward was awakened.
In the history of the Chicago City Council, the most intense disputes were just verbal battles and spit flying, and no one had ever directly hit anyone in the city council.
Jin Saiban stumbled and knocked over the seat, and half of his face swelled up instantly.
He covered his face and stared at Reeves in disbelief, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth: "Reeves... Reeves! How dare you take action in Parliament! This is unconstitutional!"
"Unconstitutional?" Reeves shook his numb palms. "If I'm unconstitutional, what about you? Trafficking children's organs, colluding with gangs, murder... Which article in the Chicago Code allows a councilman to be a human trafficker?"
Jin Saiban suddenly felt guilty, but he still pretended to be strong and said, "You are slandering me! How dare you hit me! And you even slandered Congressman Libus! I will sue you!"
"Defamation? Hahaha!" Reeves laughed. "Just look at your phone! If we show this evidence, it's going to be a disaster!"
Jin Saiban took out his cell phone for some unknown reason and found that he had received an unfamiliar email in his mailbox.
He opened the email and saw a clear picture of Kim Saiban inspecting the goods at the San Gennaro Hospital. The unconscious child and the blood-stained operating table were jarring.
When Jin Saiban saw these photos, he immediately realized that it was the strange guy named Charlie who took the photos of him that day.
That guy turned out to be Reeves's man... Jin Saiban was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. If this matter really got out, the end of his political career would be a small matter. If he delayed the lives of two masters, he would be killed...
The scene was completely silent. The MPs, the Speaker and Blair were all quietly waiting for Kim Saiban's reaction.
After looking at the pictures on his phone, Jin Saiban raised his head silently and said shamelessly: "Oh! Senator Ribs, I'm so sorry! I was just joking with you, why did you take it so seriously!"
Ribs snorted coldly and didn't pursue the matter any further. He just said, "Since it's a joke, let's start voting!"
When the people around saw Jin Saiban's reaction, they roughly knew what was going on.
"Ahem! The voting begins!" Speaker Edward said, "I declare the voting open! I abstain!"
The other three Democratic congressmen exchanged horrified glances, all staring at Kim Saiban's actions.
Jin Saiban slowly raised his left hand and said, "I agree with Ribbs' proposal. Funding for the police department is indeed urgent..."
"Second! I agree!" "Second!"...
When the three Democratic congressmen saw this, they immediately voted in favor. Blair and the remaining Republican congressman also voted in favor.
Ribs looked at the six right hands that were raised in an instant, with a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth.
"A wise choice!" Ribbs turned to the dazed Speaker and raised his eyebrows. "It's time for you to hammer, Mr. Edward."
"Oh!" The old man's cloudy eyes finally focused, and the gavel fell mechanically: "20 million police funding... passed unanimously!"
This is the first proposal promoted by Reebok since he took office as a member of parliament.
Before, those who questioned Ribs' ability now shut up.
Before taking office, he said he wanted to "make Chicago great again," and after taking office, he immediately allocated funds to the police department and increased the police budget.
This is an absolute consistency between words and deeds, an act that has been applauded by the lower classes of Chicago.
You know, Chicago has been cutting police budgets for six consecutive years. The public security situation is getting worse and worse, and the lower-class people are suffering.
Those poor people at the bottom who voted for Reebok before have become more confident. This is truly doing something practical for the people!
On the streets and alleys, the poor people at the bottom of society told each other the news, and they wanted to call Reeves the savior of Chicago.
"Ribus is such a good man! We have hope in life now!"
"Yeah! Now that Reeves is in office, the sky in Chicago is sunny!"
One police officer, speaking anonymously, said: "Those old Ford patrol cars should have been put in museums long ago. Ribbs saved the lives of his brothers!"
As for the major media, they are completely divided into two camps on this issue.
The media, controlled by the Daley family, was full of sarcasm. The Chicago Tribune's front-page headline read: "Gangster-turned-councilman wins first battle! $20 million in police funding passed unanimously!"
Sun-Times Gossip Column: "Godfather of the Underworld or Incarnation of Justice? Uncovering the Double Life of Reebok"
Only a small number of media outlets praised Reeves for "rectifying the chronic problems of public security with thunder-like measures." The accompanying picture showed Reeves' silhouette standing tall in the parliament, while the photo of Councillor Kinseban slumped on the ground with his face covered was deliberately blurred.
Now that Ribbs has become a member of parliament, these small pieces of public opinion are of no concern to him.
Aren’t the so-called media and public opinion also bought with money?
The council's resolution was passed on to the city's finance department. After the allocation was completed, Ribbs personally went to the police station to meet with Daniel again.
This time, it was done.
Daniel has to get the operating license for Black Rabbit Security Company!
