Volume 4: White Devil Chapter 275 An Old Friend Calls
David Kennedy's off-site campaign activities were apparently very timely, as news appeared on a Miami TV station three days after the TV debate.
With reporters following them, the Miami Police Department's Coast Guard intercepted two cargo ships that were converted from U.S. offshore fishing boats and were loaded with Cuban stowaways. Through the reporter's lens, we can see that when the two stowaway ships were ordered to stop for inspection, the crew members on the ships forced the Cuban stowaways on board to jump into the sea with guns, and took advantage of the gap when the Miami Police Department's Coast Guard dispersed police forces to rescue the stowaways, looking for opportunities to escape.
However, after the Miami Police Department's Aviation Patrol's helicopter locked onto the ships, the two smuggling boats were finally successfully intercepted and gave up their escape. All the crew members involved in human trafficking on the ships were arrested. The police rescued 253 Cuban stowaways at sea, but unfortunately, 31 of them drowned, including 17 women and 6 children. It is not clear whether there are other people who fell into the water. The Miami Police Department's Maritime Patrol and the Florida Coast Guard are still searching for survivors. Jeff Lavin and volunteers composed of retired National Guard veterans have also joined the rescue operations.
Facing the interview of the reporter, Jeff Lavin, who had just finished searching in a sea area, said tiredly: "I am not interested in talking about elections and race now. Rescue is the only thing I care about. I do hate those illegal Cuban immigrants who have caused public security problems in the 18th District, but we cannot ignore life. These people are innocent. The real evil ones are the bad guys who deceived them, described Miami as a paradise, and lured them onto this road to death."
The identities of the owners of the two fishing boats were also subsequently identified. It is understood that the two owners and crew members were Cuban-American citizens who had previously smuggled into the United States as Cuban refugees and later obtained legal status. They charged each Cuban stowaway up to US$1,500 and conspired with relatives in Cuba many times. The Cuban relatives contacted the stowaways, collected fees, and then used sailboats to transport the stowaways to the waters near Florida, USA. Two converted fishing boats then transferred the stowaways on the sailboats to Miami.
When the police were searching and collecting evidence, they found that the two Cuban boat owners who gave the order to abandon the stowaways, resulting in the tragic drowning of many stowaways, had actually donated to the campaign action committee of Republican Ileana Reti many times. The reporter also found intimate photos of Ileana Reti and the two boat owners.
David Middleton, the operations commander of the Miami-Dade County Police Department's Marine Patrol, was facing the camera on the TV news, talking to reporters: "We need to take more actions to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening at the root and crack down on human trafficking and smuggling. This year alone, there have been many cases of smuggling boats capsizing or smugglers being forced to jump into the sea in our jurisdiction. We need to invest a lot of police force and funds to carry out various rescue operations..."
David Kennedy pressed the remote control to turn off the TV. In front of him and Tommy stood the talkative head of the Marine Patrol, David Middleton. He was tall and blond, wearing a stylish casual suit. He said with a modest smile:
"Mr. Kennedy, if Ileana Letty continues to insist, the police will later find out that the criminal received financial assistance from CANF when purchasing two fishing boats."
David Kennedy stood up from the sofa, picked up the wine glass and poured a glass of wine for the other party, then looked at Tommy: "David, a good boy from Massachusetts, is from my hometown. Since his grandfather's generation, he has listened to the advice of the Kennedy family and worked in the Boston Police Department. But after he became an adult, he came to Miami to work for me. He did a good job. At the age of 29 this year, he is already the commander of the marine patrol. Do you know his nickname? Ace Special Operator. As long as it involves police work, there is no problem he can't solve. I think he should be promoted to captain before his 30th birthday."
"Thank you, Mr. Kennedy," said the operations commander, David Middleton.
Noticing that Tommy didn't respond and had no desire to talk to him, David waved his hand and said, "Remember to bring your wife and children to my house for dinner this weekend."
Middleton tactfully put down his glass and turned to leave. After he left, David looked at Tommy, who was still staring at his disappearing figure in a trance but remained silent. He said dissatisfiedly, "I didn't introduce anyone else to you. This kid is here because he is a loyal and reliable knight of the Kennedy family. You have to give him enough respect, just like I have always respected Mr. Page beside you."
Tommy understood David Kennedy's dissatisfaction. Just as the other party said, David didn't want to introduce a bunch of messy politicians to him or brag about how many connections he had used in this matter. He wanted to tell Tommy that the young man named David Middleton appeared here based on the trust of the Kennedy family and the other family. This guy has worked for the Kennedy family for three generations, so Tommy can rest assured that there will be no problems with the smuggling case.
Ileana Letty will not have a chance. The next day, the President's Office announced that it had no knowledge of Orlando Bosh's involvement in the bombing. It was only in accordance with the federal government's Cuban refugee resettlement law that the other party was granted status. The judicial department also stated that when the CANF association submitted the application, it did not state that it had participated in terrorist activities.
The pressure was put on CANF and Ileana Reti. David Kennedy's off-campus campaign was actually telling CANF that either Ileana Reti should withdraw from the election with dignity, or the police should investigate whether CANF was suspected of funding smuggling activities.
Now Orlando Bosh has been detained again to investigate whether he concealed his previous involvement in the bombing from the US government during the process of obtaining residency. David Kennedy's negotiation method is that after Ileana Letty withdraws from the election with dignity, he can guarantee that Orlando Bosh will commit suicide with dignity.
This will keep everyone looking good.
But the reason why Tommy didn't want to talk to David Middleton was not because he disrespected the other party, but when he learned from David Kennedy about the labels of ace agent, David Middleton, Miami, and police, Tommy just wanted to say to David Kennedy that he had a poor eye for choosing his followers. No wonder he couldn't make it in Massachusetts, the hometown of the Kennedy family, and was sent to Miami to open up new territories.
If nothing unexpected happens, this guy named David Middleton will become a well-known serial killer in the United States. He is a typical criminal personality and will be sentenced to four life sentences without parole and two death sentences. But the problem is that this guy was sentenced to death in 1995, but until 2022, Tommy was executed by a black man with a headshot, and he is still alive.
The most exaggerated thing is that not only did he not die, this guy also wrote an autobiography in prison "From Policeman to Serial Killer", which became a bestseller. Hollywood bought the copyright of the book and prepared to make his experience into a movie.
This guy is very good at choosing his targets. He only kidnaps poor girls. Almost all of the victims are entertained in low-end nightclubs and have ordinary family backgrounds. In addition, before committing the crime, he would record the names and home addresses of the victims in the name of investigation. The victims were worried that they would be retaliated against by him after calling the police, so no victim dared to leak the news.
However, even though the victim reported the case and accused him of rape, kidnapping, and assault, the jury finally declared him not guilty of the first two charges and only admitted that David Middleton had assaulted the girl. In addition, no other victims reported the case or testified in court, so he was eventually sentenced to five years in prison. He was released early after serving two years in prison. After he was released from prison, this guy was expelled from the police force, moved out of Florida, worked as a repairman, and became addicted to drugs. He blamed his downfall on the fact that the female victim had clearly promised not to report him but still called the police and deceived him.
So he began his career as a serial killer. When he was a policeman, he only raped but did not kill. But after he was released from prison, if he committed a crime again, he would choose to kill to silence the witnesses and no longer believed the lies of women.
There were three rape-murder cases in which he was confirmed to be the murderer, but there were many other murders in which he was suspected but could not be convicted due to insufficient evidence. After he was arrested, imprisoned and sentenced to death, many women in Miami who were harmed by him when he was a police officer dared to speak out.
When David Kennedy said that this guy was his, Tommy understood why, even though the evidence was solid when he committed the crime for the first time, the judge and jury of the Miami court only convicted David Middleton of assault among other charges such as rape, kidnapping, illegal detention, and assault, allowing him to be released from prison in two years.
"I'm not disrespecting you, I just think this guy's name sounds familiar." Tommy looked at David Kennedy. "Stephen and I were having fun on the beach with some girls who like dancing. A girl who was with me mentioned something. She said that a policeman named David Middleton tied her up late at night and forced her to do something. I hope the David Middleton the girl mentioned is not the guy you introduced."
David Kennedy was dismissive of Tommy's words at first: "How is that possible? You've seen him. If that kid needs a woman, he doesn't need to force her. Just look at his figure and his face. He can just walk into a bar and take off his shirt and countless girls will rush over to him and have sex with him."
But after he finished speaking, seeing that Tommy was still unmoved, he showed an incredible expression. Although he still insisted, his tone was a little loose: "This can't be true."
"It'd better not be true. Otherwise, if it really comes out one day, I can't imagine how passive you will be. He is your follower and helps you do a lot of dirty work. You can't stay out of it. You still have to lend a helping hand even though you know he is a piece of shit, so that he won't reveal some little secrets." Tommy said to David.
"I'll check it out. If it's true..." David Kenny stood up and walked to the phone and dialed a number. He said a few words to the other end, and after hanging up, he said to Tommy:
"I'll castrate that bastard for his wife."
Outside the door, Page walked in, stood behind Tommy and said in a low voice: "A gentleman named Charles Salmon called and said that if it is convenient, he would like to invite you to have a drink in Washington, in the name of SSD."
After listening to Paige's words, Tommy nodded expressionlessly, then stood up, hugged David Kennedy, his loyal subordinate who was still wondering what was wrong with his brain as a policeman during the day and a criminal at night, and then said goodbye.
After they walked out of David Kennedy's law firm and got in the car, Tommy picked up his phone and called Susan: "Choose a black-white mixed-race girl to stand up and bravely tell the American people how Fox abused her. Let lawyer Delia Keyes accompany her. BT TV and VOX News will arrange various interviews."
Without waiting for Susan to ask, Tommy hung up the phone and called Jim Manz: "How are those financial reporters digging up the dark side of KeyBank? Very good, let Wolf Tucker put pressure on them to terminate their work and create opportunities for reporters to jump on the pirate ship of FOX TV Network with half-finished investigative reports. We must ensure that when we fight each other, both sides look like they are holding each other's balls."
"Are we going to the airport?" Paige asked, holding the steering wheel with both hands and waiting for Tommy to hang up the phone.
Tommy shook his head. "No, I want to see Jeff pull out the medicine ball and the solid wood board during his election speech to put a perfect end to my vacation before I go see Charles. I have to make sure that Jason can't beat me. Speaking of Jason, how is his business lately?"
"I think... before Jeff pulled out the solid ball and solid wood board at his inaugural address to Congress, neither you nor the other group were as attractive as he was." Page said with a smile, "He called me a few days ago and told me to show off to you that he and Susie designed a sexy lingerie. The men in that city are going crazy, and the women's business is 30% better than usual. He and Susie are preparing to register a patent and sell it in bulk to all brothels and private clubs across the United States."
"What kind of underwear can make a woman's business 30% better than usual? Clothes that don't cover anything at all?" Tommy's face was full of suspicion: "Are you sure that guy is not bragging?"
"I'm sure I'm not bragging, because George, who happened to be on a business trip in San Sacramento, tried it out." Paige said speechlessly, "Jason and Suzy designed a cleverly designed Centaur erotic costume. When a woman puts it on, she becomes a beautiful Centaur. A man can ride on the woman's back while the woman can turn her head to give him a perfect blowjob."
Tommy was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then he rubbed his face vigorously. "How about we go to the airport and fly to San Sacramento to experience what it feels like to ride on the back of a centaur girl and enjoy oral sex? Fuck! How could Stanford University produce a scum like Jason! He studied computer science for four years, just to help Korean men to pick up prostitutes, cheat on fat women to get married and get green cards, and help Korean women dress up as centaurs to be fucked?"
