Living in North America, working from 9 to 5

Chapter 55: Unexpected gain, so cool!

After testing his current physical fitness in the gym, Roy thought a lot. With his current ability, if he left the police force and went to fight in professional boxing or UFC, he would definitely be a king or even invincible. It wouldn't be long before he would be rich.

Even when his physical fitness is strengthened to another level in the future, he can become a professional track and field athlete, easily breaking the 9-second mark or even the 8-second mark in the 7-meter race. Then, Bolt, who will debut in the future, will be eclipsed.

He can also participate in swimming events, at least he won't become a purple potato monster.

These can all make a lot of money.

With the money, he could transfer Irene from Presbyterian Hospital to the Mayo Clinic, which has the highest level of medical care in the world. By then, there would be a real hope that Irene would wake up.

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

He couldn't get away.

Corrupt cop and scavenger are not only Roy's profession, but also his label. He has done too many evil things and he cannot be cleansed no matter what.

At present, not only can he not clear his identity, Gordon will not let him go easily. Irina is even more eyeing him and has always wanted to use Rowena for her own benefit. There are too many uncertainties in the future.

Roy has never forgotten his original reason for joining the police force.

That is to find the real murderer who killed his parents.

But there is no clue yet.

Inside the police station.

Roy sat at his workstation, looking at the computer screen.

The screen displayed Hector Marquez's profile and photo:

Hector Marquez, a 49-year-old white male, was born in a small town called Laken near New York, about 50 kilometers from New York city.

Father Franz Marquez is a priest. He still lives in the small town of Laken. He is the only clergyman in the town. He usually lives in a church one kilometer away from the town. The Laken Church is just a country church with a main wooden structure. It is very small and dilapidated. Franz has lived here for 30 years.

Hector's mother married his father when she was in her teens and gave birth to Hector Marquez, the eldest of three brothers, in the same year.

The town police once investigated the matter and left relevant files. The town police suspected that Franz Marquez raped the girl and caused her pregnancy, and then chose to marry Franz, who was 30 years old at the time.

But both the girl's parents and the girl insisted that they fell in love and got married voluntarily. The matter was eventually dropped and did not cause much stir later. After all, in America, it is not uncommon for girls in their teens to get married and have children.

Although the investigation was stopped, the residents of the town never stopped discussing the matter privately until Franz Marquis became a clergyman, at which time the discussion gradually disappeared.

Later, the girl gave birth to two more children, Hercule and Herato. Finally, the mother of three children chose to commit suicide at the age of 22.

Reason unknown.

Hector Marquez has been a bully in the town since he was a child, and he has been committing endless pranks. He was sentenced to prison when he was young, and after he was released, he joined a motorcycle gang. He is also a bloodthirsty, violent, and evil person.

After reading about Hector's family situation, Roy picked up the coffee cup on the table, took a sip of coffee, and looked up to see Gordon's secretary Dai Lin walking towards him with a folder in her hand.

Roy immediately closed Hector's information file so that no one could see him looking up Hector's information.

Arriving at Roy's workstation, Dai Lin gave him a flattering smile. She placed the folder in her hand on the table and said, "The four people who attacked you have been identified. They are members of the motorcycle gang."

Roy nodded: "Yeah, I guessed it."

"Captain Lampard arrested the security guards on duty that night, and one of them admitted that he received a $200 tip from those people.

Next, we will sue the security guard and the property management of Lance Apartment. The legal department asked you to sign a few documents."

After saying that, Dai Lin pushed the folder towards Roy.

Roy opened the folder, took out a few documents, took a quick look, and found they were all authorization documents. He then signed his name.

Dai Lin continued:

"The legal department asked me to ask you, what is your bottom line for compensation?"

Is there such a good thing?
Roy didn't think about it that way.

He looked at Dai Lin and said:

"What is the legal department's suggestion?"

"Because you were not injured and didn't die, the legal department estimates that if you win the case, the maximum you'll get is five or six hundred thousand dollars." Roy nodded.

"Your apartment is owned by the property management company. Their lawyer came earlier and it sounded like they wanted to settle the matter."

"reconciliation?"

Dai Lin bent down and put her flaming red lips close to Roy's ear and whispered:

"Commissioner Gordon means to accept the settlement. A lawsuit is too troublesome. It will take at least one or two years to finish the lawsuit. You will also have to participate in various inquiries and appear in court."

"How do we reconcile?" Roy turned his head and asked.

Their lips were only a few millimeters apart, and the smell of Dai Lin's lipstick was clearly smelt. There was a hint of greed in her eyes as she looked at Roy. If this wasn't a public place, Dai Lin might have really kissed him directly.

Breathing gently, Dai Lin said:
"The other party's lawyer privately told the director that if you accept the settlement, the Reims Apartment Property Management can compensate you for the apartment you are currently living in and waive the property management fees for 10 years."

Roy asked:

“How much is this apartment currently worth?”

Dai Lin said:

"The valuation is about $40, and the ten-year property fee is $4."

After a little thought, Roy nodded in agreement.

It really takes too long to litigate.

Moreover, the process is extremely cumbersome.

Since it was Gordon's idea, it meant that the other party had already dealt with Gordon, so Roy couldn't object anymore.

After the incident, he indeed did not think about the issue of property compensation.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise for Roy.

It’s a pretty big gain.

Get an apartment worth $40 and ten years of property fees for free.

It feels so fucking good.

Roy signed the compensation settlement agreement.

After Dai Lin left, Roy received a call from Oscar.

He came to the fire escape, lit a cigarette and took a puff:
"it's me."

"Boss, I have collected some information. Hector will go to the warehouse you mentioned tonight. He wants to make a deal. I haven't found out what the deal is about."

"Very good, give me a rough idea of ​​how many people are in the warehouse at night."

"Yes, boss!"

"Well, be safe, that's all."

Roy hung up the phone.

Put out the entire cigarette you just lit with your fingers.

[Burn: Burn resistance +1]

Roy decided to kill Hector tonight.

Pushing open the fire door and returning to his workstation, Roy saw Mia was already waiting there.

Seeing Roy coming back, Mia put her hands in her pockets, smiled knowingly, and said, "Deputy Captain Jonathan is currently recovering at home, so you don't have a partner. Our B team is on duty tonight. Can I be your partner?"

Roy: "..."
