Today's coffee was obviously not as timely as yesterday's. About ten minutes later, the secretary Sally Anna came in with coffee and newspaper, looking a little nervous.
Looking at his secretary's somewhat cautious expression, Raymond Eddie smiled and waved, motioning for the other party to stand next to him.
The secretary lowered her head as if she didn't see his action. After putting the coffee on the desk, she put the newspaper on the desk and pushed it in front of Raymond Eddie.
Seeing this, Raymond Eddie frowned and was about to speak.
But I heard the secretary whisper:
"Mr. Director, you should read today's newspaper first!"
After saying that, he quickly left the office.
Hearing this, Raymond Eddie frowned even more tightly.
I looked down at the newspaper on the table and saw the headline on the front page clearly written.
...
...
《Shocked! The Chief of Public Security of the National Police Headquarters is actually an arms smuggler! 》
Just one glance made Raymond Eddie's scalp tingle, his eyes bulged, and he picked up the newspaper on the table and read it carefully with an incredulous look on his face.
According to newspaper reports, a Brazilian Navy destroyer discovered a suspicious ship while on patrol yesterday.
After inspection by naval patrol personnel, it was confirmed that this was an arms smuggling ship that had just completed an arms deal.
At the same time, this is the second arms smuggling ship discovered recently by naval patrol personnel. In view of the case of the first arms smuggling ship, the police did not report the investigation results to the navy.
Therefore, the Navy launched an investigation and interrogation of the criminals on this arms smuggling ship.
The interrogation revealed that the ship had just traded enough weapons and equipment to arm a battalion.
A total of 15 criminals were arrested this time, one of whom was an escort arranged by the buyer.
The rest are all gang members in the Recife area.
According to the confessions of the escort personnel arranged by the buyers and the gang leader of the arms seller, the buyers of these two batches of arms were Mr. Raymond Eddy, Director of the Security Department of the Brazilian Police General Directorate.
As for why Mr. Raymond Eddy was involved in the arms deal, further investigation is needed.
Seeing this, Raymond Eddie stood up suddenly, looked around, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
Just when he was getting a little panicked, the office door was pushed open.
Police Chief Thomas Sisse rushed in with a sullen look on his face and shouted:
"Raymond, what are you doing?
Is this true? "
Raymond Eddie was also a little panicked at this time, seeing the crowd outside the office peeking to check the situation here.
He quickly got up, went to the door and closed it.
Then he stood in front of Thomas Sisse and whispered:
"Uncle Thomas, listen to my explanation!"
"Explain? How do you explain?
I just want to know if what’s in the newspaper is true.”
Thomas Cisse was obviously furious, and he interrupted him with an impolite wave of his hand.
Raymond Eddie didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.
If he admitted it directly, it would be a heinous crime, needless to say. Not to mention anything else, his position as the director of the Public Security Department would definitely be lost.
But if he refused to admit it, he would not be able to hide it from the eyes and ears of the police chief. A quick check would tell whether it was true or not.
As soon as Thomas Sisse saw his expression, he knew that what the newspaper said was true.
For a moment, he felt a surge of anger rushing to the top of his head, and with a "slap", a slap landed directly on Raymond Eddie's face.
"Idiot, you idiot!
As the Director of the Public Security Department of the Police Headquarters, why would you be involved in arms trafficking?
Are you short of money?
Even if you are short of money, there are so many legitimate businesses you can do, but you choose not to do them. Why do you want to sell arms?
You tell me, why?"
This slap stunned Raymond Eddie. His biological father had never hit him, but today he was beaten by the guy who used to be his father's secretary.
Moreover, he heard the other party curse him as a fool without any hesitation.
This made him even more upset. His fists were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound. He raised and lowered his fists, wishing he could punch back.
Fortunately, he knew that this matter still needed to be handled by the father's secretary.
Now is not the time to offend the other party, but in his heart, he has already made a note of this account.
The resentment in his eyes flashed away.
Of course, his actions could not be hidden from the experienced Thomas Sisse.
At this moment, Thomas Cisse felt indescribable sadness in his heart as he looked at the second son of his old leader in front of him.
I am wholeheartedly devoted to the other person, but instead of appreciating it, he takes it for granted and has no respect for me at all, treating me like an old servant.
It is really disheartening, and I have to sigh again that a good father has a good son.
He actually hoped that the other party would just attack him and punch him, so that he could use this as an excuse to sever ties with the other party.
No need to be as passive as now.
Although the other party has suppressed the anger in his heart, the hatred in his eyes is frightening.
Maybe the other party will not remember your kindness at all, and when the other party no longer needs you, you may have to prepare to face the other party's revenge.
Thinking of this, Thomas Sisse's heart sank.
But since the other party held back and didn't take action, I have to find a way to help him clean up his mess.
After forcing himself to control his emotions and taking a long breath, Thomas Sisse took two slow steps, sat down in the reception area of the office, and spoke in a cold tone:
"Can you tell me why?"
Raymond Eddie saw Thomas Sisse's look and knew that it was time to discuss how to clean up the mess.
Every time I got into trouble and someone cleaned up my mess for me, they would always say this!
Raymond Eddie never hid anything about his uncle.
But this time, his father's lover was involved, and of course the other party also knew about this lover.
The problem is that now that I have taken over this lover, if he knew about this, he might get even angrier.
He didn't want to get slapped again.
After much consideration, he decided to hide the real reason from the other party.
Anyway, no matter what the reason is, the other party will definitely find a way to help you solve this problem.
But he couldn't think of any suitable reason for a while.
Just as he was racking his brains to find a convincing reason, Thomas Cisse spoke directly:
"Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask.
Have you considered how to deal with this matter?"
Hearing that the other party no longer asked him the reason, Raymond Eddie breathed a sigh of relief, because this excuse was really not easy to find.
But what he didn't know was that the other party didn't even want to ask for the most basic reason.
This means that the other party no longer wants to care about his affairs, which means that they are completely desperate for him.
But he obviously didn't think of this, and instead said carelessly:
"I immediately ordered people to shut down the newspaper and arrest the reporter who reported the incident recklessly."
This answer left Thomas Sisse completely speechless. He simply closed his eyes, not wanting to see this idiot talking nonsense in front of him anymore.
But he still controlled his emotions and asked:
"Then what?"
"What then?"
Raymond Eddie didn't quite understand what the other party meant.
"Do you know what the consequences of doing this are?"
The police chief had a blank expression on his face and a cold tone.
Even a fool would know that he must have said something wrong, and Raymond Eddie might have realized at this time that this matter could not be handled in this way.
The voices became a little quieter.
"have no idea!"
At this moment, Thomas Sisse's heart was filled with the feeling that ten thousand long-necked sheep-like animals were trampling through it.
He clenched his fist tightly, then slowly released it helplessly.
He sighed again, slowly opened his eyes, and said in a calm tone:
"You should take a long vacation recently and rest at home or go traveling!"
Before Thomas Sisse could finish his words, Raymond Eddie said in disbelief:
"What? You want me to be suspended and go home?
I am the director of the Public Security Department of the Police Headquarters. Just because of a few random reports in these newspapers, I will be suspended and sent home.
Are you making a big deal out of nothing? "
Thomas Sisse, the police chief, had completely given up when he looked at Raymond Eddie in front of him.
If it weren't for his father's support, such an idiot would not even be able to be a grassroots policeman.
But now he has become the director of the Public Security Department of the Police Headquarters, and may become the Chief of Police in the future.
Even he found it ridiculous.
I even feel that if the other party really becomes the police chief, it might be a huge irony for the entire Brazilian political arena!
This made him start to examine for the first time whether what he was doing was right.
Maybe after this incident, I need to think carefully about my future position.
“Right now there are reporters everywhere outside the police headquarters, all waiting to interview you.
At the same time, we are also waiting for the handling opinions from our police headquarters.
How do you think you should explain all this to the reporters out there?
If you were the Chief of Police, how would you handle this matter?
Raymond Eddie was shocked when he heard that there were reporters everywhere waiting to interview him.
This is not a glorious thing. If my embarrassing appearance is photographed by reporters and reported in newspapers, how can I become the police chief in the future?
As for how to explain it to the reporters outside, there is nothing to explain!
Matters within the police headquarters should be handled internally. They have nothing to do with you reporters.
But obviously I can't say that.
"But if I suspend you..."
Seeing Raymond Eddie hesitant to speak, Thomas Sisse could understand what he was thinking.
He shook his head helplessly and said:
“This is only temporary, we are just giving an explanation to these journalists and the public.
Once the impact of this incident gradually disappears, you will naturally be transferred back to the police headquarters.
By then, you will still be the Director of Public Security of the Police Headquarters, the future Chief of Police."
Only then did Raymond Eddie slowly feel relieved and said reluctantly:
"Well then! I'll go home and avoid the limelight."
Seeing that the other party was willing to accept his opinion, Thomas Sisse breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, he had some doubts in his mind. This matter was obviously a bit strange. Why were both arms smuggling operations discovered by the naval patrol?
Is this a coincidence or someone did it on purpose.
If it's just a coincidence,
But if someone did it on purpose, what was their purpose?
No one would be naive enough to think that such a small matter could bring down the Eddie family!
What the police chief is most worried about now is whether General Fang of the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group is behind this incident.
If so, it means that the other party already knows who was behind the last assassination attempt on him.
If this happens, the Eddie family will be in big trouble.
