The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 4361

However, the police commissioner had a serious expression on his face as he said," Merlin, when something big happens that cannot be solved, someone always has to take the blame for it. You have been working in the New York Police Department for so many years, and it is impossible that you do not understand this. I don't want you to take the blame for this either, but if you continue to remain stubborn, I can only apologize to you in advance, then!" Merlin gritted his teeth and looked at the other party. Even though he was filled with hatred and resentment in his heart, he knew that the police commissioner was telling the truth.

In truth, the New York Police Department was actually still very protective of their own people most of the time, and the higher management would definitely find a way to solve problems for the sake of the department's overall image. However, the New York Police Department hadn't always been able to handle everything.

Over the years, the New York Police Department's violent law enforcement against ethnic minorities had caused huge public anger. The New York Police Department had tried to cover up for their own people at first, but in the end, they had also had to make sacrifices because of the great public anger.

The impact of the series of cases that Homer was involved in was also extremely bad, but this incident had happened too suddenly, and the police department had

not been able to find a way to deal with it. However, it could be guessed from the current situation that it was very likely that it would be very difficult to investigate this incident. So, it would not be long before the New York Police Department would have to sacrifice someone to take the blame for this.

It would indeed be a wise choice for Merlin to retreat now.

Moreover, Merlin also knew that he had no other choice currently.

It was either active or passive retirement, and there was no other choice aside from retirement.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, he spoke dejectedly and said, "Okay, I accept it."

The police commissioner nodded in relief

and then instructed, "You will have a brief meeting with the media later and say that the police received a tip-off that suspects were operating in this building. However, upon searching, it was confirmed that there are no traces of the suspects and this operation might have been a mistake in intelligence. Don't explain too much about the rest."

Merlin said helplessly, "Okay, I'll go in a while."

The police commissioner nodded

and said again, "I will arrange for an internal meeting in the morning tomorrow, and you can take the initiative to speak up at the meeting and say that you want to take a break because you have been under too much pressure recently will then take advantage of the situation and agree to it. After that, I will hand the case over to Bull so that he can continue being in charge." Merlin hurriedly asked, "You want to let Bull continue the investigation?!"

"Investigate my a*s!" The police commissioner waved his hand and said, "I will ask Bull to change the direction of the investigation. On one hand, we will investigate the identity of the victims to see if any other victims have not been exposed, and on the other hand, we will investigate Homer Fox and his

UM

associates to see if we have missed out on any of them."

Merlin blurted out and asked, "What about the murderer? There won't be any more arrests?!"

"Arrest what?!" The police

commissioner sneered and asked him, "Tell me, how do we arrest the murderer? Will we be able to find the real murderer if this matter is not the work of Ten Thousand Armies? How do you expect me to go up to Ten Thousand Armies to arrest anyone even if it's the work of Ten. Thousand Armies? Not to mention how it is not easy to deal with Ten Thousand Armies, but how am I going to explain things to the public if I want to arrest them? At that time,

wouldn't there still be a huge amount of scolding even after all the hard work?"

Merlin could not help but ask," Commissioner, we are law enforcement officers. What can we do to maintain the dignity of the law if we don't arrest such criminals who blatantly violate the law?"

The police commissioner said indifferently, "Right now, we must learn to compromise. Our top priority is not to maintain the dignity of the law, but to satisfy the public. I intend to render it a headless unsolved case. That way, the public will not think that we are incompetent, but they will only feel that the heroes in their minds are even more powerful than they have imagined. That way, they will not cause trouble for us again even though we fail to solve the case!"

When Merlin heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Since it's rendered as a headless unresolved case, there is no need for me to retire early, right? I will obey the arrangements, and I will not investigate the case any longer!"

The police commissioner shook his head and said, "No. The mayor knows your temper very well and so, he has already told me that you must retire early!"
