Chapter 122: Abandoning the Rook to Save the King

"According to police data, 16 New York Police Department police officers have recently been charged with long-term corruption, including a deputy captain. Their crimes involve perjury, bribery and dereliction of duty."

"... Some New York prosecutors revealed that in previous investigations of such police corruption cases, the New York City Police Department's Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau often provided useless assistance." - The New York Times

"There is information showing that New York City drug enforcement police have colluded with other police officers to steal millions of dollars worth of cocaine and then sell it on the streets." - The Washington Post

"According to internal police officers of the New York City Police Department, there was a case of a drunk police beating a taxi driver two years ago, and in this case, the police chief The police department deliberately shielded the suspect, resulting in the arrest of the driver who was beaten. At the same time, the police who tried to expose the truth of the incident were retaliated and punished in the name of violating internal discipline. Not only were they ordered to temporarily suspend patrol missions, but their badges and guns were also confiscated. "

"To date, the driver who was beaten has been forced to pay a fine to avoid imprisonment, but he lost his job as a taxi driver and has been unemployed since then."

"On the other hand, the police who exposed the truth are still charged with crimes including improper behavior, failure to identify themselves, interfering with on-duty police officers, failing to correctly fill out official reports, and providing false witness testimony." ——"Village Voice"

In the following days, as the media continued to expose the internal shady dealings and corruption of the New York Police Department.

The public's trust in the New York City Police Department began to waver.

Public opinion also accused the New York City Police Department of only supervising others without strictly restraining itself, and the so-called internal supervision was just a means of covering up.

The problems of the New York City Police Department have undoubtedly affected the image of Kingpin.

Especially in the previous report of "Frontline", Clark, the reporter who Colin used as a pseudonym, had already revealed that he had some kind of connection with the New York City Police Department.

As the corruption and deliberate cover-up of the police department were exposed by the media, the public naturally began to associate it with the mayor.

Even a police officer dared to embezzle, so what about the higher-ups?

At the same time, the losers who had previously run against Kingpin also began to express their opinions and called on him to resign from his position as mayor.

Some relevant people believe that if Kingpin resigns, he is likely to become the shortest-serving mayor in the history of New York City.

Faced with the increasingly serious situation, Kingpin responded quickly.

Shortly after the media exposed the internal problems of the New York City Police Department, New York City once again issued a statement from Mayor Wilson, saying that he was not aware of the corruption within the New York City Police Department. As the mayor, he will set up a special investigation team to conduct a thorough investigation of this issue.

At the same time, he said that all of this was framed and slandered by people with ulterior motives, and they did not want to see themselves in this position.

It means that there may be the shadow of anti-registration heroes behind this.

Kingpin's series of activities, especially his speeches and performances, successfully deceived the public who did not know the truth.

They were convinced by Kingpin that he might really have nothing to do with the problems in the New York City Police Department. After all, he had just been mayor for a short time, and the problems in the New York City Police Department had been corrupt for several years or even more than ten years.

Just when everyone thought that the matter would come to an end temporarily.

Clark Kent, a reporter from "Frontline" News, once again announced his latest investigation results.

It proved that the mayor had some unknown relationship with a certain organization in the "Hell's Kitchen" that was unknown to outsiders, or it was related to his "starting from scratch".

The new report of "Frontline", especially the photos published on the front page.

It instantly ignited public opinion in New York City. Everyone was discussing Kingpin's scandal. If the content of the news was true, then the New York mayor's involvement in the underworld would become an important fuse for the other party to step down.

Just then, everyone's eyes were on the news event of the New York mayor's involvement in the underworld.

The investigation team established earlier has made a breakthrough in the investigation of the New York Police Department: "Among the 16 police officers accused, 7 deliberately framed others to meet the arrest quota, 8 smuggled guns, and 1 arrested the wrong person for favoritism. At the same time, 4 senior police officers and two others were charged for corruption, including a deputy police chief of New York City."

Abandoning the car to save the master, facing the increasing pressure of public opinion, Jin Bing made a choice.

He threw out the corrupt elements in the New York City Police Department, some of whom were likely to be the people he planted in the police department, to minimize the impact of the entire scandal.

At the same time, on the other side.

A gang leader who had been engaged in crime for a long time in Hell's Kitchen was arrested, and the other party claimed that he was the guy in the photo in the previous "Frontline" report.

Some media compared the appearance of the two, and they were indeed somewhat similar.

At the same time, the reporter who took the photo also came forward and admitted that New York Mayor Wilson Fisk might not be the subject of the photo.

There is no doubt that these are all Jin Bing's handiwork.

The emergence of the scapegoat has reduced New Yorkers' suspicion of the mayor, and the image he now presents to the media is very different from his original appearance. In fact, many people do not believe that he is the person in the photo.

Plus, the New York City Police Department's investigation has already yielded results, so people naturally think that all this may just be a random piece of news made up by the media for news reporting.

But, no matter what.

Clark Kent, a reporter for Frontline News who exposed the New York City mayor's possible "gang-related" scandal, has become a well-known celebrity.

The public expressed support for this reporter who dared to expose the truth.

Especially because of his report, New York City was forced to set up an investigation team to expose the corruption of the New York City Police Department.

And in the latest mayoral poll, it is shown that although Kingpin has tried to distance himself from the underground organization.

However, inevitably, his poll was still affected and showed a sharp decline, and there was a gap of about 10% from the previous poll that increased due to the tough guy image created by the injury.

At the same time, because of distrust of the New York City Police Department, the public's attitude towards superheroes has also changed. Most people expressed the view that the executive order should be stopped first, and believed that even unregistered superheroes are better than corrupt police.

At least, they will not frame ordinary citizens and arrest people indiscriminately.
