Chapter 407 Storm (please subscribe, ask for recommendation, ask for monthly pass) The code word asks for a monthly pass until four o'clock in the morning! !

While Kai and his group were fighting, on the other side, the fighting in Chicago became more and more intense.

Although the battle in Chicago was bloodless and even calm, there was no shortage of dangers in it.When Assistant State Attorney Peter Stone launched the investigation into the Tuttle Foundation, a political storm began to take shape.

As soon as Peter Stone officially investigated the Tuttle Foundation, the state attorney put pressure on Peter Stone to stop the investigation on the grounds that the Tuttle Foundation is a religious foundation and is a very important part of Illinois. It is unreasonable and reckless for a well-known charitable foundation to launch such an investigation without any directional evidence, which will arouse protests from religious circles.

Religion has always been the bottom line of American society, and anything related to religion needs to be careful and careful.You must know that in the United States, religious industries do not need to pay taxes. In a sense, religion is a bit of an extralegal place in the United States.

What's more, the Tuttle Foundation is so backed by the religious fund of the Catholic Church. This fund is dedicated to helping those poor believers get out of trouble, and sponsoring some young people who intend to become priests to complete theology courses, and also opens schools so that some poor children can be educated. Be well educated and even offer scholarships.

In short, the Tuttle Foundation is not only backed by a big tree, but also has a good reputation. It is definitely the target of prosecutors at all levels.

But just as the state attorney's investigation of Peter Stone was halted, a whistleblower document from the church appeared in the state attorney's office.That's right, the Catholic Church reported their own foundation, and they reported corruption within the Tuttle Foundation!

According to the internal whistleblowing document from the Archdiocese of Chicago, since 1981, the foundation has lost more than millions of dollars in funds every year, and some of these funds came from believers in the Archdiocese of Chicago. .

Many people were caught off guard by the self-destruction of the church.

Then on the same day, Peter Stone found out that the corruption within the Tuttle Foundation was extremely serious, and a lot of funds disappeared without any reason, and a considerable part of the funds were transferred under various names. Can you believe it? , does a school affiliated to the foundation need 50 dollars to paint the exterior wall?That's a school, not a skyscraper.

After obtaining evidence of corruption, Peter Stone began to go one step further and began to thoroughly investigate the flow of funds of the foundation.

This made more people nervous.

To put it bluntly, the Tuttle Foundation is just a cover for the Tuttle Church to conduct external money and power transactions. If the funds in it are investigated, many people will be involved, so the investigation was hindered the next day. First, the Illinois state court ruled that Peter Stone's investigation was illegal and released several suspects detained by Peter Stone's order on the grounds of insufficient evidence.

As a result, several suspects were brought back to the police station on other charges as soon as they walked out of the police station building.

Then the state police suddenly came to the Chicago Police Department to investigate and asked the Chicago police to transfer several people to them.

The Chicago police were still discussing how to deal with the request of the state police. As a result, a police inspector in the police station took the initiative to hand over several suspects.This shocked the Chicago police. They didn't expect that, in their own territory, they would be played with such a showy operation.

The police inspector was immediately brought under control, and then the Chicago police immediately planned to recover the suspects, but before the Chicago police could take action, news came that the state police who had come to pick them up earlier had a car accident on Michigan Avenue, and several Unfortunately, all three suspects were killed!
Naked murder!
Such a blatant silence has not happened for many years, which made the Chicago police extremely annoyed. They brought several state police back to the police station, intending to open the situation from them, but before the interrogation began, the state police were very angry. They took away several police officers forcefully, and they even clamored to sue the Chicago police. According to them, after their police officers were involved in a car accident, the Chicago police not only failed to provide help, but also prohibited them from going to the hospital. .

All in all, it was just a nonsense, as for the suspects?Anyway, the state troopers don't care much, people are dead, everything is an accident, what else do you want?
At the same time, on Peter's side, the FBI suddenly intervened in this matter, and forcibly took away and sealed the information that Peter had finally searched from the Foundation.

Here it is, it seems that the 'Tuttle Church' crowd has won.

But in the afternoon, news suddenly came that the Chicago police had cracked a serial murder case!

The perpetrator was named Errol William Childress. The details of the case were made public in a short period of time, and a large number of physical evidence and corpses related to the missing persons were found in the suspect's home. When the media exposed it, the police More than 130 or eight corpses have been excavated from the suspect's yard, most of which are the bones of women and children. After comparing and confirming the items related to the deceased found in the suspect's home, the current According to reports, the Chicago police have confirmed the identities of [-] of the deceased.

The death time span of these deceased is very long. The earliest deceased among the deceased identified by the Chicago police is about 35 years ago.The suspect William Childress is currently only 41 years old. It is a bit too far-fetched to say that he started killing at the age of five, so the police have reason to believe that William Childress' father, Billy Childress, was also a murderer. Perverted killer.

However, when the police discovered Billy Childress, he had been tortured and imprisoned by his son, William Childress, for 15 years, and he had completely lost the ability to bear legal responsibility, so he was exempted. Yu sued, but he will spend the rest of his life in the hospital, even according to the doctor's diagnosis, whether this older generation of murderers can survive is still unknown.

His facial features were sewn up by his son with needles and threads. His eyes and mouth have basically lost their original functions. Some organs in his body even showed varying degrees of atrophy and necrosis. According to the doctor, he is still alive. is a miracle.

Of course, if things come to this point, it can only be regarded as a social news, and it will not affect the current political struggle in Chicago.

But a collection of documents and video footage collected from William Childress' home was different.Those documents contained some records of William Childress' dealings with various political and judicial figures, as well as records of William Childress' financial transactions with the Tuttle Foundation.

Among them, the most exciting thing is William Childress's relationship with Illinois State Senator Edwin Tuttle. According to the video and audio materials found at the scene, Edwin Tuttle not only William Childress is very familiar with it, and he also gave William Childress a lot of help, such as helping him contact some people in the judicial circle, and helping to 'handle' some so-called 'disclosures'.

This time the entire Chicago political scene exploded.

Edwin Tuttle is a veteran senator from Illinois. He once served as Chicago district attorney, state attorney, and then ran for governor. One of the congressmen, an absolutely veteran politician, with connections all over the judiciary in the entire Illinois state.

Once this news broke out, the mountains were shaken instantly.

Although Edwin Tuttle's constant denials of his relationship with William Childress are useless, and what's worse, even if he can deny his relationship with William Childress, he cannot Denying any relationship between him and Billy Lee Tuttle, whose sister happens to be William Childress' mother...

Taking advantage of this shareholder style, Peter Stone began to focus on investigating several disappearance cases that were obviously problematic, and one of them was the most typical case.This is 19 years ago a little girl named Mary Fontenot disappeared in 1990 at the age of 10.The Tuttle family once funded a kindergarten called Shepherd's House, where Mary stayed, and in 1988, Shepherd's House was accused of child molestation and was forced to close. Two years later, it was renamed Bright Road Academy in Pelican The island reopens, and Mary becomes a student again.

After Mary's mother discovered her daughter was missing, she immediately called the police, but the local sheriff, Ted Childress, changed the alarm file privately, canceled the alarm, and asked the investigator at the time, Steve Gerracy, not to continue the investigation In this case of disappearance, he claimed that the girl's mother was a prostitute and took drugs, and that he knew the girl's father and knew that the girl had left with her father.After Steve Jercy investigated and found that the girl's mother was missing, he really gave up the investigation, and then Steve Jerezy was appreciated and recommended by Ted Childress to start backgammon Lift.

According to Peter Stone's investigation, that Ted Childress and Billy Childress were cousins.

Then a series of officials and police were pulled down by this case, and the entire Illinois political arena became chaotic for a while.

……

But none of that had anything to do with Kay, after cleaning up the scene and calling the Chicago police to come in, it had nothing to do with him.In fact, things have come to this point, and many things are no longer under Kai's control.

In fact, up to now, the case has become less important. Once a storm of public opinion is formed, some interest groups will contribute to it.For example, state senator Edwin Tuttle, most of the people who targeted him did not seek justice for the innocent victims. Tuttle dismounted.

After all, the political pie is only ever so big, and if Edwin Tuttle eats it, others will have to eat less, or even not eat it.In the past, Edwin Tuttle had no flaws, so everything was fine, but now that Edwin Tuttle has exposed such a big flaw, naturally some people want to rush over, knock down Edwin Tuttle, and divide his cake.

The adult world is cruel.

What's more, Kay and Matthew are too conspicuous in this case. If they continue to stay, they will definitely become targets. After all, Edwin Tuttle is far from the only person affected by this case.

Although this time the church took the initiative to stand up and take the blame, their goals were much smaller, but if they continued to jump, they just felt uncomfortable.This is why Kay will find the church to force them to trade.The size of the church is large, even if it stands out and attracts firepower, it is not a big problem.Even if those whose interests have been harmed want revenge, what can they do with the church?At most, it would be disgusting to the church, but so what?
The church has been standing for so many years, what turmoil has it not experienced?Isn't it still the same as the world's largest religion?

It's just difficult for Deputy Director Cooper. He needs to stabilize his position and deal with the pressure from all sides.On the other hand, he couldn't offend all parties too much, so as to affect his ascension to the throne of the bureau chief.The effort required in this process is not comparable to that of ordinary police officers in handling cases.

But how to put it, since Cooper wants to be the director, some pressure must be borne by him.

"So...you haven't been able to get Tapia done yet?" It was rare that Kai was free today, so he stayed in the police office and chatted with a group of colleagues.It happened that the pair of Marcus and Mike were also there. Seeing their dejected looks, they were probably scolded by Teresa again.

"Don't mention it. These days, that bastard seems to have washed his hands in a golden basin. He is honestly like a high school nerd. He hasn't even looked for the lady. We really have nothing to do." Marcus was about to be caught by the case. It's crazy, as time goes by, the patience of the police department and the DEA is worn out a little bit.The reason why Marcus took over the case before was that he didn't want his sister to take risks.

But now there is no progress in the case. The DEA and the police department cannot wait indefinitely. They hope that according to the original plan, Marcus's sister Sydney will take the initiative to attract Tapia's attention.

So Marcus is getting angry every day now, but there is no good way.

The same goes for Mike, after all... this dude is having an affair with Sydney, and Marcus the idiot hasn't noticed yet...

"We thought about some... not very formal methods, but that guy was too cautious, leaving us with no chance." Mike held his mobile phone and sent text messages to Sydney while complaining to Kay.

"Hey! Nigga, can you stop holding your phone all day like a high school student? You can't concentrate on the case?" Marcus felt so upset when he saw that Mike was still playing with his phone up. "Oh my god, what's wrong with people nowadays, holding a mobile phone all day without even looking up, why don't you take your studies so seriously?"

Mike quit the chat silently, and then put away the phone with a guilty conscience. It is a very dangerous thing to tease his sister in front of a sister-controller.This is why Mike has not confessed to Marcus until now, although Sydney has always hoped that Mike can take the initiative to tell Marcus... After all, she is in a relationship, not an affair, so why should she be so sneaky?

Marcus complained a few more words, then finally looked at Kay and hesitated.

"What? Do you want to confess to me like you did to Mike? First declare that I'm not a guy, and second, even if I am, you can't be my pick. You're so ugly." Kai saw Marcus's expression, teased.Being with black people, if it is too serious, it will be very unpleasant.Especially these two.

"Hey! I've said it all, don't joke about it, okay?"

The oolong that Marcus and Mike made in the electronics store last time has become the biggest joke of the police department. Every day, people will make jokes about their "ambiguous relationship" and sexual orientation, which makes Marcus half dead. It is forcibly stipulated that no jokes about this matter will be allowed in the future.

"Okay, okay." Kay raised his hand to show that he was wrong. "If it's not a confession, then what are you going to say?"

Marcus gritted his teeth and finally said, "I want you to help us!"

Mike raised his head and looked at Marcus in surprise. Although Marcus is small and thin, this guy has a very strong self-esteem, and he wants to subdue him unless it is his wife.Among the police, it is absolutely embarrassing to ask others to intervene in a case that you are responsible for. It is an admission that you can't do it.
