Chapter 868 Dinner at Stacey's House
After the simultaneous screening of the press conference of the City Police Department, it was also broadcast on multiple TV stations that night. Chief Stacey, with five gold stars on his shoulders, said to the camera with a serious expression:
Since he took office, New York has maintained good law and order, the crime rate has dropped significantly, and the satisfaction rate of citizens has increased. New York has become the safest city in North America, which is inseparable from the unremitting efforts of the police officers.
The timing of this press conference was ingenious, just when people all over the world were discussing the withdrawal of the Avengers from the contract, the contract police station, which is closely related to public security, stood up and stated clearly that the contract was tens of thousands of police officers. staff are protecting.
Just relying on those few people, it is impossible to maintain the law and order of the breach of contract by arresting them 24 hours a day.Combined with the number of criminals and cases cracked by the police station in the past few years, it is clear that the public security of a city cannot be maintained by a single person or team, what is needed is the vast majority The self-awareness of the people and the efforts of the police officers.
In the press conference that lasted more than an hour, there was not a single word about the Avengers, and even Spider-Man, who has been dangling around for several years and has a high sense of presence, did not appear in the speeches of everyone in the Twisting Police Station. draft, as if they never existed.
During the questioning session, a reporter asked: Some people think that the law and order of the contract has improved significantly during the past few years of the Avengers. How do the police view this matter?
The answer is to thank the Avengers for saving the world in many times of crisis. Their departure is a great pity for Twilight. Twilight will maintain the law and order of Twilight as always. They are welcome to come back at any time. No matter how you ask, just say that they are tall Save the world, not to mention the effect on twisting the contract.
And when people ask about the citizen’s good neighbor, Spider-Man, the answer is even more vague, avoiding the core of the question, and only talking about Spider-Man helping the police station to arrest some criminals, accounting for about a thousand percent of all criminals one.
We only talk about the quantity and not the deterrence of Spider-Man’s existence to other crimes, not to mention that a large part of the people arrested by Spider-Man are repeat offenders. If ordinary police officers are replaced, it will not be solved without a few 10 minutes of drag racing and gun battles. .
The concepts here are changed secretly, just like one did a hundred elementary school math problems and the other did ten high school math problems at the same time. Can it be said that the latter is only one-tenth of the level of the former?
It's a pity that there are too few people who have the ability to think independently and don't follow the rhythm. Such a comparison of data makes many people think 'oh, the role of Spider-Man is not as great as imagined'.
This kind of news would be over for ordinary people to watch and discuss, but in Director Stacey's house, the news on TV was extremely harsh. The two children who had only just entered middle school were at the age of worshiping heroes. He muttered unhappily that it was the existence of the Avengers that made the law and order of the contract so good, and that Spider-Man has been catching bad guys.
The two children said one sentence after another, which made Director Stacey's face even more ugly, 'Crack! With a click, he slapped the knife and fork on the table, causing the two children to shake their bodies, immediately shut up, bow their heads, and put the rice in their mouths.
The hostess, Helen Stacey, coughed lightly, and signaled to Director Stacey that "there are still guests." Peter Parker pretended not to hear anything, and ate with a sullen head. The other children did the same and stopped. Laughter and discussion made the whole room fall into dead silence.
Chief Stacey took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, picked up the knife and fork again, and picked the plate again and again, anyone could see that he was in a bad mood.
"Turn off the TV." Gwen stood up, took the remote control, and turned off the TV that was still broadcasting the news. Without the chattering sound, the room seemed even more silent, and the atmosphere was extraordinarily weird.
As the hostess, Helen Stacy felt that this was not good, so she took the initiative to find a topic, and said, "Parker, do you want to add more?"
Peter quickly raised his head and said, "No, thank you, I'm full."
"Where's Gwen?"
"Need not."
"...does anyone need it?"
Even the youngest child, Simon, couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Mom, you should change the question."
"Then you don't have enough to eat at night, so don't come out to find something to eat in the middle of the night."
The atmosphere of family chatting dilutes the solemnity just now, Director Stacey's serious face also relaxed a little, and he took the initiative to speak: "I remember you have been an intern at Stark Industries for two years."
Peter quickly replied, "Yes, sir."
"I'm graduating soon, do you have any plans?"
Peter glanced at Gwen, his brain was running fast, and said: "They are going to work in Stark Industries, they just need people."
"Yes, after receiving so many orders from the military, it really needs to be expanded."
Peter could only smirk along. The three years of tempering made him grow a lot. He is no longer that stupid rookie who confronts his future father-in-law. No matter what he says, just follow along. There is no loss, but he can resist But you might lose your girlfriend.
The dinner ended in such a weird atmosphere, Peter was about to leave, but he couldn't help asking the question he had held back for a long time: "Mr. Stacey, do you think Spider-Man's behavior is wrong? Was it against the law?"
As soon as this question was uttered, the two boys who were watching TV instantly raised their ears. If it weren't for the majesty of their father, they would have come to listen.
Director Stacey was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "You know what happened? A few days ago, something happened in Brooklyn. There was a high school student who admired superheroes very much and always wanted to act like Spider-Man.
So he made a green one-piece suit and walked around the street with two baseball bats. One night, he got into a fight with some gangsters, was stabbed twice, and was hit by a car. , is still in the hospital. "
Parker looked blank, and said, "Is this Spider-Man's fault?"
"This really has nothing to do with Spiderman. That kid wants to imitate a superhero, but he doesn't have the strength of a superhero. Spiderman has great strength to fight those criminals, but those imitators don't. They were beaten violently in the street, and then thrown into the sewer.
Even if he succeeds by luck, he will be hated and retaliated by those people, just like that kid. "When Chief Stacey spoke, he glanced at the two sons on the side. Obviously, he was listening to these two guys who also worshiped superheroes, lest they get hot in order to show off in front of girls or for other reasons. He also went to the streets to fight for justice.
