The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 183: What is a Counselor?

Director's Office.

Jia Yu looked at Jim in front of him, and then looked at Jonas who seemed to be smiling.

Jim stared at Jia Yu: "What disease is this? Are you not surprised at all because of it?"

Jia Yu nodded expressionlessly: "It's true that I'm sick, and it's true that I'm surprised, but I won't show the corresponding expression on my face, because I still feel a little regretful."

"regret?"

"If I had known that he was one of my own, I wouldn't have to get beaten up." Jia Yu touched his cheek, "It hurts, really, and I think I'm missing a tooth. It seems quite expensive to fill a tooth here."

Jonas rolled his eyes and said, "Boy, don't think I don't know that Dak has made you the project manager. Your monthly salary plus bonuses may be more than Jim's annual salary!"

Jia Yu said calmly: "How does that conflict with the high cost of filling a tooth? Isn't it my own money?"

"Fuck! This is exactly the same! Are you sure you weren't expelled from your own country?"

"Of course not. I learned all these after I came here. I'm a good student, you should know that."

Jim asked, "So, my guess was correct, right?"

Jia Yu tilted his head: "Almost, but some details are wrong."

"for example?"

"I didn't prepare the gun, it was my roommate who prepared it. He knew that Kendi was going to retaliate against me, so he wanted to protect me."

Jim gasped. "So even if we track down the guns, we can only find your roommate in the end, and we can't even charge you with illegal gun possession? Damn it, your roommate was helping you, but you took advantage of him?"

To be honest, Jim is a little scared now. This "colleague" of his is a little too vicious!

"I don't think I'm that bad. I just eliminated some guys who were a threat to me." Jia Yu said, "So, I didn't steal his gun. My boss sent me back to school today and found that my roommate had a gun. He thought he was going to harm me, so he took his gun and gave it to me for self-defense."

Jonas sighed, "Sure enough, the boss has figured all of this out, just like what happened back then."

Jim smiled bitterly: "And I am still the tool."

Jia Yu spoke slowly: "I wanted to ask Qiao since you came, but now it seems that the boss has been keeping an eye on this matter, right?"

"What else? I even know what you and Jim said in that room."

Jia Yu was silent, and then he said: "I really made the right choice. There is an old saying in the East that those who plan plan before they see the signs. I only decided to do this after seeing the things in my hand and getting the information, but the boss had already thought of it when he gave me the things."

In a fast food restaurant outside LAPD, Xiunuo, who was drinking Coke, almost spit it out.

What the hell?
What does your poison have to do with me? Is that what you think of me now?

Jim immediately grasped the key point: "Wait a minute, did you think of this on the spur of the moment today?"

Jia Yu answered seriously: "Actually, I decided to do this when my roommate told me that Kendi was looking for me."

"You?" Jim's eyes widened. "How long will it take?"

"Probably about an hour before the LAPD opened fire."

"You decided how to kill him in such a short time? And planned a perfect crime!"

“I’m grateful to the American State for providing me with this opportunity.”

"But is it that serious?"

"I don't like to gamble my safety on the kindness of others." Jia Yu said calmly: "I may not have had a choice before, but I know that Dark Gold Pharmaceutical has a strong enough legal team."

"When you threatened me just now, you said you were going to the embassy."

"Making you scared is different from my own confidence, Chief Jim."

After saying this, Jia Yu looked at the two of them and said, "So you called me here so that everyone can recognize each other, right?"

Jonas laughed, "Of course it's not that simple. If that were the case, I would just need to tell you. It's just that Jim seems to be in some trouble. Maybe you can help him solve it."

"What's going on at Kendi's house?"

"You do know."

"If I hadn't known this, I wouldn't have used the judicial system." Jia Yu looked at Jim: "So, Chief Jim wants to save the two police officers under your command who fired the gun, right?"

"Yes, kid, they saved you after all. Even though you used them, they are innocent, aren't they?"

Jia Yu just shook his head slightly; "Are you sure he is innocent? An inexperienced police officer shouldn't be sent to that neighborhood, right?"

Jim suddenly fell silent, this familiar feeling.

"Okay, I admit that they are all very experienced police officers, and many of them are even my old subordinates. They know how to deal with gangs and drug addicts, otherwise they would not shoot so decisively, but I still hope to protect them. I don't have a strong background, and the process of becoming the chief is completely a matter of chance. My roots are in LAPD, they are my strength, and I don't want to sacrifice them." "At the same time, I don't want to be in trouble with the state government. Maybe you don't know that many people are dissatisfied with my ability to become the chief."

"I didn't notice that." Jia Yu thought for a moment, then said, "I have three strategies here, good, medium and bad. It depends on which one you choose."

"Ah?" Jim was stunned. "You came up with three ideas in the short time you've been bending your head?"

Jia Yu said calmly: "Since he is the boss's man, Director Jim should read more ancient Eastern books. It is right to have three plans for one thing. For someone like the boss, maybe I just need to give you a magic bag with solutions written inside. When you encounter something that you can't solve, you can open it and solve the trouble at hand."

Xiunuo in the fast food restaurant shook his head repeatedly.

I didn't! I'm not!

Jim quickly said, "Tell me your idea."

"The worst option." Jia Yu said, "Hold a press conference, release the record of Kennedy smoking marijuana before the attack, as well as his history of drug use, find someone to confirm that he had just smoked marijuana before the attack, and the three people in his car are good witnesses, claiming that the police officer's shooting was completely in line with regulations. It was their decisiveness that prevented a tragedy from happening. At the same time, reveal that he is now facing pressure from the state government. In that way, naturally someone will look up this Kennedy's information, and then the time will come."

"Even if it's that group of black people, they won't cause trouble for the LAPD. After all, the lower-class black people hate the group of elite black people who grew up in the black community and became part of the oppression of them after getting benefits, more than they hate white people. As long as you tell them that this black person is rich, they will say that it's good for these black scum to die! Right?"

Jim's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea indeed!"

Jonas next to him said with emotion: "You are not a sheriff anymore, Jim. This is perfect. The LAPD doesn't even have to face the slightest pressure from public opinion, but you have offended everyone in the state government!"

Jim looked at Jia Yu and asked, "Is there any other way?"

"Middle strategy," Jia Yu said. "Just release the crime recorder and claim that everything the police did was in full compliance with regulations. The LAPD will stand with the police who protect everyone and treat Kendi as an ordinary black person."

Jim was a little confused: "What about public opinion? What about black people taking to the streets?"

"No, because the police are just trying to stop a crime." Jia Yu said indifferently, "Even if they scold, it's only directed at the police officers, and they can't do anything else. As for the pressure from above, Jim, who enforces the law impartially, they will only think you are a piece of stone that doesn't understand the ways of the world. They will distance themselves from you and want to replace you, but at least they won't retaliate against you."

Jim chuckled and said, "That makes sense."

Jonas whistled, "But you'll only be the LAPD chief for the rest of your life."

"I'm very satisfied."

"Doesn't he have another solution? Don't you really want to hear the end of his story, Jim?"

Jim then reacted: "Yes, you have a better idea, right?"

"It is for this case, but it may not be for the director." Jia Yu said, "Give the evidence of Kendi's use of contraband and my complaint against him for school bullying to the president and the anti-bullying committee of Caltech."

"Then send the records of Kendi taking contraband and the body camera video to the state government. Also, I can help you record a video to find the embassy, ​​and you can send it to them. Then, don't do anything. If a reporter exposes this matter, announce that the LADP is conducting an internal investigation. Other than that, don't release any details of the case."

Jim was stunned: "Those blacks will definitely take to the streets this time!"

Jia Yu said, "But they don't dare to rush into the LAPD like last time. The unlucky ones are the merchants who were bought for zero dollars, the insurance companies are the ones who lose money, and the black people are the ones who benefit. Don't treat this as a case, Chief Jim."

"What then?"

“Political deal.”

Jim couldn't believe that this word came from the mouth of the foreign student in front of him.

"Even the public, without the media hype, wouldn't pay too much attention to this. But I think the state government and Kendi's family can't control what the media will say, so you will definitely be questioned by some people."

Jim looked at Jonas and said, "I think all three are good. What should I do, Jonas? You're a lawyer. Help me make a decision!"

Jonas spread his hands. "I'm a lawyer, not a politician. This is his idea. You should ask him, Jim."

Jim looked at Jia Yu with some anticipation.

Jia Yu said calmly: "Well, there is a common saying in the East. When someone tells you that there are three options, they are actually suggesting that you choose one."

Jim was stunned, then immediately said, "That's it."

Jia Yu added: "But from the perspective of you and this country, the best policy is the best. Only those who are politically aware can go further and retreat more steadily."

"What about this?"

Jia Yu, who had been keeping a cold face all the time, spoke again, but this time, he forced a smile on his cold face: "However, from the boss's perspective, he should like it better."

This time Jim was even more confused: "What do you mean?"

"California Treasurer." Jia Yu said slowly, "This position is very important to Xiong En's future and the boss's plan, isn't it?"

Jonas and Jim stared at each other.

"He's right." Xiunuo's voice sounded in the ears of the three people.

"Ah!" Jim and Jonas were startled, and then looked at the man sitting in the director's position in disbelief: "Boss? When did you come?"

They swore that there was no one in that position before! !
