Chapter 1916 Generous Tony (Please give me a monthly ticket!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!!)
"But...even if I know this, it's useless. I need evidence! I can't just go over there and find them, right? They won't admit it." Tony actually agreed with Jessica's guess deep down in his heart, but the problem is that guessing is useless!
If you can't find the person or the thing, there's no point in saying anything.

"Haha, you are an outsider. In this world, there is no such thing as silent action. As long as it has been there, it will definitely leave traces. The key is whether you are willing to make up your mind to check it out!"

This is the truth. There is no such thing as a perfect crime in this world, let alone a true unsolved case! The only thing that limits finding the truth is always off-site factors! Especially the resources invested!
As long as you are willing to invest, there is nothing that you can't find out.

For example, the world's famous unsolved case - Jack the Ripper!

Jack the Ripper was a notorious serial killer in London, England in the late 19th century. He committed a series of brutal murders in the Whitechapel district in 1888 and was never caught. To this day, Jack the Ripper's identity remains an unsolved mystery, sparking a lot of speculation and research.

Is it true that the Ripper is so perfect? ​​Or is it that he can fly and hide?
However, the fact is... this case was not taken seriously at all! On August 1888, 8, a tragedy occurred near Whitechapel in East London. The murderer brutally killed at least five women in succession. However, the authorities did not care much... After all, the dead were prostitutes. At that time, the murder of prostitutes was actually a common and not taken seriously thing. Who would care about those dirty prostitutes?

It was not until September 1888, 9 that the Central News Agency received a letter written in red ink and stamped with fingerprints, signed "Jack the Ripper". In the letter, the murderer jokingly stated that he was the murderer and claimed that he would continue to kill more women before being arrested. After that, the murderer wrote to relevant departments for provocation many times, but he was never caught. His bold crime method, which was repeatedly exaggerated by the media, caused panic in British society at that time.

But even so, the police didn't really take it seriously.

Firstly, that was the general public's thought at the time. Prostitutes were not sympathized with much. No one cared about women's rights at that time, let alone prostitutes. So the police could not waste their resources on such things... In their view, prostitutes were like weeds. No matter how many of them died, it would not change anything. The next batch would appear soon anyway.

Secondly... Daiying. Not to mention the past, even the policemen in Daiying are lame now. Don't believe that those foreign policemen can plead for the people. It's impossible!

The modern police system originated in Britain, and the world's first police agency was the London Metropolitan Police, commonly known as "Scotland Yard." This new agency was not a response to increased crime rates, nor did it bring new ways to deal with crime. Before and after the invention of the police, the most common way to solve crimes was by accusation. Moreover, originally "crime" referred to individual behavior, and the ruling class that invented the police intended to meet the challenges posed by collective action. In short: the authorities formed the police in response to large and provocative crowds. Specifically: strikes in Britain; riots in the northern United States; and the threat of slave uprisings in the South. So the invention of the police force was a response to the masses - not to crime. I will focus on who these masses were and how they became such a challenge to the ruling class. We will see that in addition to the growth of polarization in urban society, another difficulty faced by the rulers was the collapse of previous methods of supervising individual workers. In those decades, the state stepped in to fill the social gap. We will see that in the American North, the invention of the police was just part of the state's daily work of managing and shaping workers. The government also expanded the poor relief system to regulate the labor market and established a public education system to regulate the workers' thinking. I will talk about these in relation to the police later, but will focus on their development in London, New York, Charleston (South Carolina), and Philadelphia.

That is, the Western police were born from the roots of repression, at a time when capitalism was on the rise and more and more things were being produced to be sold on the market. The losers in the market competition began to lose their independence as producers and became wage labor. But in places like Britain, the biggest force driving people to seek wage work was the state-sanctioned enclosure movement that drove peasants off the land. As peasants became refugees from the countryside, towns grew, and inequality within them grew. The bourgeoisie became a social class more distinct from the workers than ever before. The market was having a persecutory effect on the solidarity of the craft guilds… Workshops were becoming ever larger, and a single English boss might command dozens of workers. This was the period before the real factory industrialization began in the mid-1700s.

There was still no police force, but the wealthier classes began to use more and more violence to suppress the poorer population. Sometimes the army was ordered to shoot at rebellious crowds, and sometimes the police would arrest the leaders and hang them. The class struggle began to heat up, but things really started to change when the Industrial Revolution began in Britain.

Meanwhile, the French were going through their own political and social revolution, beginning in 1789. The British ruling class responded by panicking about the possibility that British workers might learn from the French, and they banned trade unions and meetings of more than fifty people. Yet from 1792 to 1820, British workers still organized increasingly large demonstrations and strikes. The ruling class responded by sending in the army. But the army could only do two things, both of which were bad: they could refuse to shoot, and the crowd would get away with it; or they could shoot into the crowd and produce working-class martyrs.

That is what happened in Manchester in 1819. Soldiers were sent into a crowd of 1829 people, wounding hundreds and killing eleven. Instead of subduing the crowd, the action, known as the Peterloo Massacre, triggered a wave of strikes and demonstrations. Even the strategy of the historic leaders of the hanging movement began to backfire. A hang had a terrifying effect on a hundred spectators, but now with a crowd of supporters of the condemned, the hang only made them more eager to fight. The growth of British cities, and the growing polarization of society within them, were two quantitative changes that had begun to produce essentially new outbreaks of struggle. The ruling class needed new institutions to control these struggles. One of them was the London Police, established in , just ten years after the Peterloo Massacre. The new police force was designed specifically to inflict nonlethal violence on crowds, to disperse them while avoiding the creation of martyrs. Any organized group of people engaged in routine violence would kill some people, but for every police murder, there were hundreds or thousands of nonlethal police violence - violence calculated to produce intimidation while avoiding an angry collective reaction.

While London police occasionally assembled into small units to control crowds, they were dispersed across the city to police the daily lives of the poor and working class. This sums up the unique dual function of modern policing: distributed surveillance and intimidation in the name of crime prevention; centralized response to strikes, riots, and major demonstrations. This is why the police were invented - to deal with people.

So...you expect a group of police officers who are born to suppress the people to spend a lot of energy investigating a killer who kills prostitutes?
What good things are you thinking about?

This is only possible if those five women are fucking noble ladies.

Obviously not.

In addition, people at that time liked to read bizarre news...especially suspenseful ones. You should know that suspense novels emerged from that era.

Therefore, the more mysterious and bizarre the writing is, the more attention it will attract.

Can the Ripper be caught? Of course he can be caught. Even if there are not many criminal investigation methods, it is not that difficult to catch a murderer who leaves countless clues at the scene. Unfortunately, no one is willing to do so. There is even a legend that the five women were not prostitutes at all, but the main force of the female protest strike at that time. They were assassinated and then labeled as prostitutes... What is the truth? It has been a hundred years, and no one can tell, but one thing is certain, the police and the government at that time did not intend to make a big effort to investigate.

After saying so much, it all comes down to the same thing: there is no such thing as a perfect crime in this world. It just depends on whether you are determined to investigate it.

In fact, the same is true for modern police. Is there really a case that cannot be solved?
The answer is no, but the police simply can't take care of it. There is no way. Do you know how many cases happen in this world every day? How many police officers are there? All they can do is to solve the cases that can be solved as quickly as possible, rather than sticking to one case. In fact, there are very few police officers in the world who will devote all their energy to one case and ignore everything else... This is not only a waste of resources, but also a dereliction of duty!
After all, human life is equal. If someone dies in your family, the police should investigate, but if someone else dies... you just don't care?
This is a very realistic problem...If the police can't find out the truth in a short period of time, they will really shelve the case...This is not a question of ability or not, but the resources are limited, and it is impossible to stick to a case.

Are there really policemen in real life who are so stubborn about a case like those in movies and TV shows?

Have!
This is true. Some police officers will actually follow a case for many years until they can solve it. But please note that this does not mean that the police officer will not do anything else. He can only take time out of his work to continue investigating, and it cannot squeeze out other cases.

Otherwise, the public will not agree, and the police will not agree.

Therefore, there are very few police officers of this type, because real criminal police are always busy. Their normal work is enough to make them exhausted, and then they have to use their pitiful energy and time to investigate cases... Such people need to have great perseverance!
Ordinary police really can't come.

So although such police officers are respectable, you cannot expect all police officers to be like this. If they were to do so, the entire police system would probably collapse.

The police are exhausted.

The reason why Jessica said this was to see whether Tony was willing to give up. As long as he was willing to take the risk and invest the resources, Jessica could guarantee that the person could be found.

Is Tony reluctant to let go?
joke!

How could Tony be reluctant?
For Tony, wealth is really just a number. A few hundred billion more or less has no effect on him at all! He doesn't need to bother to consider the so-called business interests now. Because the Stark Group has become a super consortium.

It is already too big to fail!

The United States at this stage is completely different from the United States in the real world.

The United States is no longer the world hegemon at this stage, and the dollar hegemony has also fallen. Although the dollar is the most important international currency, its irreplaceability has disappeared. This will inevitably lead to a fundamental change in the economic structure of the American political arena.

This also led to the fact that Stark Group's status in the United States is comparable to that of Samsung!
The White House and Congress represented by Benjamin are actually not satisfied with this situation. But being dissatisfied does not mean they can destroy this situation. At least until the United States recovers, this situation cannot be changed.

Once turmoil really occurs, the United States itself cannot bear it!

This is too big to fail!
Therefore, the actual profitability of the Stark Group is supported by the whole United States, and they need this economic engine.

In this case, as long as you are not a fool, you can make money without spending much effort.

On the contrary, the most important thing for the United States now is that Stark Group needs to spend money!

Big money spender!
To put it simply, economics is about flow.

If you don't move, you're doomed. So as long as Tony is willing to spend money, the government will support him no matter what he does.

So he doesn't need to care about those numbers.

In this case, it would be strange if he cared about wasting resources!
"Cha, I'll give you whatever you want!"

For Tony, face is much more important than money!
"That's no problem."

Jessica never thought of using the police resources from the beginning. First of all, Tony didn't report the case. If he didn't report the case, there would be no case. Without a case, the New York police would not be willing to waste time with Tony Stark.

In fact, the police were particularly reluctant to have anything to do with a person of such power as Tony. If it was a personal relationship, that would be fine. But once it came to official business, it would be very troublesome. The reason was simple: could someone who could compete with Tony be a simple person?
Maybe that man is not a problem for Tony, but it will definitely be no problem for him to deal with these little policemen.

Take this case for example.

It involves the government...how do you want the police to investigate?
Whether you check or not, you will offend people.

Tony isn't afraid, but the police station is.

Another thing is that this case obviously requires a lot of resources, but the benefits may not be that much. If you get involved, you spend resources, make contributions, and you may not get any benefits at all in the end... Who has the time to get involved in such a thing?
