The Legendary Life Beginning from American Comics

Chapter 22 Backstab, backstab again!



No case is what matters.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's hearts suddenly cheered.

There is no case to solve, what does that mean?

It means that there is no crime, no shootings, no underground gangs, and no zero-dollar shopping. Everyone lives and works in peace and harmony.

Since there are no criminals, the police do not need to be present.

Naturally, there is no need to ask how many cases should be handled every year, nor does the police station need to be famous.

but…

It is extremely difficult to achieve this step.

Nowadays, class antagonism in New York City is serious, and the gap between rich and poor is extreme. Although people in Midtown are relatively wealthy, many people still consume excessively. The concentration of homeless people in Xicheng District is even more serious. The average debt per capita in Xicheng District is thousands of dollars. Therefore, You will find that some people have their wives and children separated and their families destroyed overnight just because of a career. Of course, there are many reasons for all this.

So as long as there are people around, there will be conflicts. As long as people lose hope, they will take risks.

When Detective Edward fights criminals, he may have such a goal in mind!

I hope that due to my own efforts, such an ideal country will appear one day in the future?

However, that ideal is simply impossible to achieve, at least in Gordon's eyes.

Although on the surface, the crime rate in the entire city has been reduced because of the existence of superheroes, the reduction in crime rate does not mean that New York City has become better.

It's like Zhongcheng District is very stable, but how many crimes go undetected in Xicheng District every day, just because no one pays attention, so many cases go unsolved.

Moreover, no one in Xicheng District cares about them at all, and no factory is even willing to build there. As a result, the area is getting poorer and poorer, with more and more poor people and more and more homeless people.

If you want to solve this problem, it is useless to rely on the police. You have to let the government pay and let the rich follow suit.

But you want the rich to give their money to help the poor unconditionally?

That's impossible.

Rich people will not be willing to take out their money, at least not unconditionally.

Of course, no one can force them to take out their money, because the property granted to them by the Constitution is sacred and inalienable.

Therefore, this ideal is naive and dreamy, but unrealistic.

But for this group of young police officers, this sentence is the biggest motivation.

Originally, Gordon proposed to let Edward become a star in the police station, using the celebrity's traffic to attract social attention, thereby motivating these police officers and arousing their fighting spirit.

But Inspector Edward's words were obviously much more effective than his own methods.

Some police officers’ eyes were filled with little stars.

That was the admiration for Inspector Edward.

Edward: I'm such a genius, I can even make up such nonsense!

Edward glanced at them and found that they were all deep in thought, feeling more at ease.

Now, they won't let me be a star, right?

Gordon looked at the group of police officers and thought silently.

Inspector Edward sets an example. Although he knows that ideal is difficult to achieve, he still cherishes the dream and uses his own strength and actions to show them the value that everything depends on people. As the director, at this time, I should stand by Inspector Edward's side. ,support him.

Gordon glanced at Edward, who felt a chill in his back.

“What is our responsibility as police?”

Gordon stepped on the printing paper two steps higher than Edward, looked at a group of police officers, and asked.

The police officers below all raised their heads and looked at Director Gordon, who suddenly stood tall in front of them.

"Is it to punish crimes? Or to protect citizens?"

Gordon paused and continued:

"I think the meaning of our existence is to make the entire city better. Citizens can go out at night without worrying about being robbed. You don't need to carry guns for self-defense when you go out as police officers. When you enter the homes of citizens, they will treat you warmly. Rather than confronting them with guns, this is the meaning of our existence."

"The detective's words woke me up. I thought what our police department lacked was reputation and we needed to let more people know about us and let them know our importance. But after listening to the detective's words, I found out , I went into the misunderstanding, we can be unimportant or even non-existent."

Seeing the confusion in the eyes of the people in front of him, Chief Gordon asked: "Do you find it strange that if the police are gone, who will take care of the criminals?"

"Because Detective Edward said from the beginning that the most important thing is that there are no cases. Because there are criminals, we police are needed. But if one day there are no crimes, what does it matter whether we exist or not?"

"So, our responsibility, our meaning, is to change the case from nothing to nothing, because this is the mission it has given us!" Gordon pointed to the police badge behind him with a solemn expression.

Those police officers stood up in awe when they heard the sense of mission brought by the police badge. They did not know that the police badge on their bodies actually carried such a mission.

Some police officers even straightened their badges, and their eyes changed when they looked at them.

"No matter how difficult the case is, no matter how cunning the enemy is, we must make a just trial, because the world still needs us. As long as the case exists, we will be the police!!!"

One sentence, "We are the police," silenced the entire police station.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped…

As one of the police officers raised his head, other police officers immediately followed suit and clapped their hands. The warm applause lasted for a long time. Some people used all their strength to clap, their palms turned red and their faces turned purple, as if This call aroused their youthful hormones and made them feel that their lost youth was back!

Edward quietly hid behind him, preparing to sneak away quietly while everyone's attention was now on Gordon.

But Commissioner Gordon seems unwilling to give up this backstab... oh no, it's an opportunity to flatter Edward.

"Dear police officers, we must remember Inspector Edward's experience!"

Edward was just about to take a step back and leave the scene, but before his left foot could land, countless eyes turned towards him again.

"A sin!"

He could only bite the bullet, put down his feet ready to leave, and accept the "admiration" of everyone.

How could it... backfire?

But looking on the bright side, at least he gave up the idea of ​​me being a celebrity and using me to promote the police station.

This...can be considered a great blessing among misfortunes.

Edward comforted himself in his heart.

Anyway, it's just a name in the police station. Only a handful of people know about it, so it's probably not going to cause any trouble.

There were a lot of things happening in the police station. They were excited for a day or two at most. After two days, they calmed down and forgot about it.

Edward thought of his own experience. Every time he was taken advantage of by his boss, he would be so excited that he didn't want anything he didn't want. He even felt that the time had come for him to be loyal to the company.

But two days later: What a star boss!

Just let them get excited.

I won't go out these two days. I won't run into any trouble if I stay in the police station, right?
