America? No, it's the warp!

Chapter 37 One puff and one puff

"Trent earns at least $10 a month."

The director's voice came through the phone.

Before Stephen could react, the chief had already flew into a rage, leaping up from his chair and barely managing to steady his massive body.

His face flushed instantly, and he pointed at Logan, angrily rebuking him:

"You actually dared to record this!"

Logan leaned back in his chair, his smile unchanged, and put his arm around the other side.

"Teren...send me 10..."

Stephen realized what was happening and was overjoyed, waiting to see the joke.

That stupid fat idiot, he was so stupid as to give us ammunition.

The director braced his hands on the table, his fingertips turning white from the force.

However, a few seconds later, he suddenly let out a cold snort, and his tense body gradually relaxed.

"I think you have absolutely no understanding of the law. In Washington, only audio recordings made with the consent of both parties are recognized as evidence by the court."

He slumped back into his chair, making it creak.

Stephen quickly looked at Logan, letting his eyes tell him it was true.

Every Seattle police officer knows this.

Fortunately, Logan knew beforehand.

"It seems the chief is quite knowledgeable about state law."

He then released another recording:

"...Suspecting you of being a Russian spy...we put you in prison...to be locked up with...Russians..."

He explained:

"But you still don't understand enough."

"Washington state courts generally do not accept non-consensual audio as evidence, but there is one exception."

"If you have been seriously threatened, it can be used as evidence."

"I think……"

Logan crossed his arms and placed them on the table, looking down at the chief with his eyes tilted upwards.

"Threatening to send me to a prison for Russians, I guess you could call it that."

"Moreover, there are probably people who would really like to get their hands on this recording."

The bureau chief was sweating profusely.

He remembered the damn hidden clause and began to regret his foolish actions.

And if someone actually gets their hands on this recording, it will be very difficult to handle.

But the situation will not change.

The situation has inevitably reversed.

"What...do you want?"

We have to bleed a little.

"It's very simple."

"First, stop interfering in my affairs with Teren."

"Secondly, you cannot exert any influence over Stephen's work."

Logan paused deliberately, observing the chief's expression.

It doesn't look painful or itchy.

He didn't intend for the other party to actually reveal anything.

"Third, get me a gun license right now."

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the bureau chief did not hear the next request and began to wonder:

"That's all?"

"I am not a greedy person."

"Okay, I'll grant all three of your requests."

"Then as long as you keep your promise, I'll pretend this recording never happened."

Logan stuffed all the recovered documents into his pocket and left the reception room with Stephen.

No one was eavesdropping outside the door; only the three of them knew what had just happened.

Logan turned to look at the doorplate and noticed that one corner of the sign was curled up.

He reached out and pulled it down, revealing the true nature of the doorplate:

"Interrogation Room"

The two went to the smoking room and waited for a while. The director had already instructed the staff to expedite the processing of the permits.

"Dude, you were absolutely amazing! You completely shut down the bureau chief! That was incredible!"

Perhaps the initial passion of rushing through the gate had faded, for Stephen was now trembling slightly.

"I just looked up some cases beforehand."

"Brother, why don't you rip that fat guy off a lot? I think he could come up with tens of thousands of dollars even if you asked for it."

"No, Stephen."

Logan shook his head and lowered his voice.

"You have to suck the leaves in one sip at a time; sucking too much can make you choke."

"What I mean is, if we really ask for something big, the bureau chief might go all out. Let's use some harmless demands to lower his guard first, and then we'll have plenty of opportunities to get back at him later."

There were no cameras installed in the smoking room; I can mention that quietly.

"That makes sense. And another thing, how did you know the deputy director and he don't get along?"

"What? The deputy director?"

Logan was a little confused.

"Yes, didn't you say someone really wanted this recording? It was the deputy chief; he's always disapproved of the chief's collusion with the crippled gang, but he's never had any evidence."

"Oh? Is that so!"

Logan nodded, adding even more leverage to the recording.

"I was just guessing at the time. How could no one be jealous of him?"

"sharp……"

Stephen was amazed and completely impressed.

"By the way, Stephen, shouldn't you be home at this time? Why are you suddenly here?"

"Oh, right, that's because I forgot to remind you on the phone that someone in the police station might have close ties with the Crippled Gang, but I didn't expect the chief to personally take action, and I certainly didn't expect you to be able to handle him all by yourself."

His gaze hardened.

"Now I know who's connected to the crippled gang; those who stopped me back then were."

"There's nothing you can do about it. Corruption doesn't happen overnight, and it can't be eradicated in one fell swoop. Only when you become the director can you get rid of these parasites."

Logan was both dissuading him from acting impulsively and encouraging him.

Stephen clenched his fists and made up his mind.

Half an hour later, Logan walked out of the police station with a brand-new gun license in his hand.

Normally it takes a month to get it, but with the director's special approval, it can be obtained in half an hour.

In America, procedures are a joke.

An unknown substance rapidly filled his mind, and Logan felt as if something had been added to his brain.

He immediately summoned the system panel:
