Chief Ed has been worried tonight. There are gunshots everywhere in Los Angeles, the intensity of which is comparable to a war. He doesn't know what to explain tomorrow.
What should I say if the mayor asks me?
How do the terrified people cope?
The reporter asked himself, how should he answer?
If he told the truth that a gang fight had taken place, his job as director would be over.
Henry contacted Chief Ed, and the two met on a street. Ed got into Henry's car, and the driver got out to smoke, leaving them alone in the car.
"Chief Ed, you are going to make a contribution." Henry said with a smile.
"Achieve merit? There were gun battles everywhere and so many people died. I was lucky to keep my position as director." Ed was left with a sad face.
Henry chuckled, "Haha, what does Chief Ed think happened tonight?"
Chief Ed was surprised: "What happened? Wasn't it a fight between two gangs that caused so many casualties?"
Henry shook his head.
"No, no, no, that's not true. The real situation is this: there is a gang called the North Shore Gang that has been entrenched in Los Angeles for a long time. They have committed many vicious crimes. Chief Ed is determined to wipe them out, and you secretly sent people to investigate in depth."
"A few days ago, we learned that the North Shore Gang was going to conduct a large-scale drug deal. In response to this heinous criminal behavior, the Los Angeles Police Department immediately organized an arrest operation. During the arrest operation, the police encountered unprecedented resistance. The police, together with HD security, fought a desperate battle with this gang of gangsters and eventually cracked a huge drug deal case and killed a large number of criminals who resisted."
Director Ed's eyes widened after hearing this.
"Is it still possible?"
"Why not? You are the police chief. Is there anyone who knows the real situation better than you? And tonight the police station and HD security did send out so many people to engage in a gunfight with the criminals. Who can deny that this is a fact?"
Director Ed's expression slowly changed from shock to surprise.
If Henry said so, then what happened tonight could be completely covered up, and he would become a heroic police chief, solving a major case and eliminating a gang, which could be said to be a great achievement.
"Drugs? But where do the drugs come from?" Director Ed said.
"Don't worry, we have already prepared these for Director Ed." Henry said with a smile.
Director Ed became even more excited when he heard this.
"If that's the case, then the police department is not only not responsible but has done a great job. But does anyone believe it?" Ed asked.
"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Gather the reporters and hold a press conference to announce the results of tonight's battle. Use a unified voice and don't let them report nonsense.
Tell those reporters that this is the true situation tonight, and if there are other nonsense reports, the Los Angeles Police Department will reserve the right to pursue responsibility. "Henry said.
Chief Ed nodded vigorously.
"Yeah, that's right. We can't let them write whatever they want. We need to use a unified tone. As long as public opinion is on our side, the public won't have any doubts."
When getting off the car, Director Ed, who had been frowning, now looked excited.
It was done this time, which is definitely a great achievement.
As for the real situation, that is meaningless.
After Chief Ed returned, he immediately organized the police to set up checkpoints at various intersections. If they encountered reporters, they were not to allow them to cause trouble, but to tell them to come to the police station, where they would hold a press conference.
......
The Bills raided North Shore Gang properties and encountered sporadic resistance, but it was quickly wiped out.
The main forces of the North Shore Gang were all transferred by Hemivis to participate in tonight's operation. There were not many people left to look after the house. The Bill Gang launched a massive attack again, crushing them with five to ten times the number of people, and soon took control of these industries.
search.
All valuable materials were obtained.
The North Shore Gang's business originally included drug trafficking.
A lot of drugs were found at the North Shore construction site, about forty to fifty kilograms. Commander Bill loaded these drugs and a large number of weapons into a car and drove directly into the police station to deliver them to Chief Ed.
The North Shore gang members who originally attacked the Jewish Gang's industries initially resisted the well-equipped and powerful HD security members, but they could not hold on for long.
Some were wiped out, some simply surrendered, and the North Shore Gang's operations were completely disintegrated.
......
Tonight,
Many Los Angeles citizens were awakened by the fierce gunfire. It was already early in the morning, and there were still many vehicles driving fast on the streets, and the sound of sirens could be heard from time to time.
Everyone guessed that something big must have happened in Los Angeles.
Some adventurous reporters got up, took their cameras and went out, ready to interview a big news that would make the headlines tomorrow.
The two reporters drove out and found that the streets and intersections were full of police officers, who would check any car that passed by.
The reporter drove over and asked, "Mr. Policeman, we are reporters from the Los Angeles Metropolitan News. Can you tell us what happened?"
"You are reporters. Don't ask me. I don't know the details. All reporters go to the police station. Our chief will hold a press conference and everything will be clear then." said the inspecting policeman.
When the two reporters heard that the police station was going to hold a press conference, they drove over immediately.
Such scenes occurred in many places, and all reporters were notified to go to the police station to attend the press conference.
3:00 a.m.
Thirty or forty reporters from more than a dozen newspapers had gathered in the police station's conference room. There was a tall pile of things in the middle of the podium, but it was covered with a tarpaulin.
Director Ed walked into the venue neatly dressed with a smile on his face. As soon as Director Ed appeared, the reporters started asking questions one after another.
"Excuse me, Mr. Chief, what happened tonight? There were gunshots everywhere. Is there a war in Los Angeles?"
"Some witnesses said that many people died. Is that true?"
"Some people say that what happened tonight involves several major Los Angeles gangs. Is that true?"
Director Ed's expression remained unchanged. He pressed his hand against the reporters. The noisy voices of the reporters gradually died down, and Director Ed spoke slowly:
"Dear journalists, I know you are all very concerned about what happened tonight. Now I will report what happened tonight. I believe you will understand after I finish reporting."
"I can responsibly tell you that tonight's action was initiated by the police, and the target is the North Shore Gang, a mafia organization entrenched in Los Angeles."
The North Shore Gang is very famous in Los Angeles. When reporters heard that the police dared to take the initiative to target the North Shore Gang, many people were shocked.
It was beyond everyone's expectation that the police would dare to touch the North Shore Gang.
"As the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, I swore on the day I took office to fight crime and maintain the safety of Los Angeles citizens and social order. The North Shore Gang has been entrenched in Los Angeles for many years and has committed many vicious crimes. I secretly swore in my heart that I must eradicate it."
"Later, under my careful planning, I sent two undercover agents to the North Shore Gang and gradually got a grasp of the North Shore Gang's situation. Recently, we received news that the North Shore Gang was preparing to conduct a large-scale drug transaction."
"After hearing the news, I made up my mind to catch this gang of criminals who were poisoning the people."
"After careful deployment, we joined forces with the HD security patrol team to launch an operation against the North Shore Gang. During the operation, we encountered fierce resistance from gang members. Many residents heard fierce gunfire. Yes, that was the sound of us exchanging fire with the North Shore Gang."
At this point, Director Ed raised his voice and said loudly:
"The Los Angeles Police Department, determined to maintain order in the city and protect the safety of the people of Los Angeles, was not afraid of sacrifice and overcame all difficulties to ultimately completely eliminate this evil gang."
I have to say that Commissioner Ed's ability is average, but his acting skills are indeed impeccable. If he enters Hollywood, he will probably win the Best Supporting Actor Award.
And he is indeed shameless, praising himself without any ambiguity.
Director Ed pointed to something covered by a tarpaulin in the middle and said, "This is tonight's revenue."
Brush~!
He pulled the tarpaulin aside.
Reporters saw a large pile of guns, probably no less than a hundred, and bags of white powder, which were obviously drugs.
Click, click.
Flashlights flashed in the conference room.
Reporters took pictures of the guns and drugs.
Chief Ed stood right beside them, his body straightened with a stern look on his face, acting like a good policeman.
Wait for the reporters to finish taking photos.
Director Ed smiled and continued, "These seizures are only part of the total. Let me give you some statistics. Tonight we eliminated more than 80 gang members, arrested more than 200 people, seized more than 500 weapons, and more than 50,000 grams of drugs."
"Here, I want to give special praise to HD Security. In this operation, HD Security has made a huge contribution. They have always been at the forefront, engaging in direct fire with those gangster drug dealers, and have demonstrated strong combat effectiveness. I am very glad that I signed an agreement with HD Security. They have indeed played a huge role in maintaining public security in Los Angeles."
"I would like to announce some figures here. Since the establishment of the HD Security Patrol Team, the city's crime rate has dropped by 56%, nighttime stalking and robbery cases and rape cases have dropped by 68%, burglary cases have dropped by 51%, and other cases have also dropped significantly."
"Initially, some people were against the government hiring security patrol teams, thinking it was a waste of taxpayers' money. Now the results are in front of you. Do you think it is a waste of money? If this money can play a role in maintaining public safety, the Los Angeles Police Department is willing to pay this money, and the Los Angeles City Government is also willing to pay this money."
......
Director Ed's speech finally came to an end. The first half reported the case, and the second half was basically just praising HD Security.
It was Ed who initially decided to sign the contract with HD Security, so it is natural that he also deserves credit for the fact that it is working.
A reporter asked,
"Chief Ed, we have received some news that someone has attacked some places in downtown Los Angeles. What is going on?"
"There were indeed several vicious robberies tonight, but they have been handled. Some of the robbers were killed, and some were arrested. They are safe now. Citizens, please rest assured that the Los Angeles Police Department has sufficient capabilities to protect the public." said Commissioner Ed.
"Excuse me, Chief Ed, there are rumors that there was a fight between two gangs tonight, which led to such a fierce robbery. Is that true?"
Ed's face darkened. "Reporter, I can tell you clearly that it is a rumor. There was no gang fight tonight. The police were catching drug dealers."
"May I ask Director Ed..."
Another reporter wanted to ask a question, but Ed raised his hand to interrupt.
"Let's end the press conference here. It's already 4 a.m. and I think all the reporters need to go back and write their articles so that they can be published in the newspapers this morning."
"However, I would like to remind all my journalist friends that the Los Angeles Police Department has already handled the case that happened tonight. When reporting, please do not report speculative content and focus on official information to avoid being held accountable for reporting inaccurate news."
Ed offers one final warning.
This concludes the press conference.
Although the reporters still had doubts in their hearts, they had no evidence and could only report the information released by the police station after returning. Even these contents were explosive enough and more than enough to get the job done.
The next day.
The headlines of major newspapers in Los Angeles are almost all about what happened last night.
"The Los Angeles Police Department cracked down on a huge drug trafficking case. There was a fierce exchange of fire between the police and drug dealers. The police killed more than 80 drug dealers, arrested more than 200 people, and seized more than 50 kilograms of drugs."
"The North Shore Gang entrenched in Los Angeles was wiped out in one fell swoop. The Los Angeles Police Department mobilized all officers, and the HD Security Patrol Team cooperated to carry out the most severe crackdown on gang members. The North Shore Gang no longer exists."
"Los Angeles Police Department Chief Ed said the police department is capable of protecting the public. Please rest assured that Los Angeles will become safer in the future."
When the people of Los Angeles saw in the newspapers that the North Shore Gang had been wiped out, many were surprised at first and then happy.
The North Shore Gang is not very popular in Los Angeles.
They are a ruthless bunch of swindlers who are not only good at cheating but also very ruthless. Their reputation in Los Angeles is much worse than that of the Jewish Gang and the Bill Gang.
Now that the North Shore Gang has been destroyed, people will only applaud.
Many people commented: "Our police chief is great. He is brave and resourceful. He was able to wipe out the North Shore Gang. This chief is very qualified."
“I hope he gets re-elected as director.”
"HD Security is really good. I often see their patrol cars on the streets. The security in Los Angeles has indeed improved a lot recently. I think this money is well spent."
Director Ed received a call from the mayor, who praised him highly for his good handling of the matter.
"Ed, no matter what the truth is, as long as the people are satisfied, it means our work is a success." The mayor said with a smile.
