Chapter 279 Joint Action
After leaving the hospital, Luke and the two did not return to the police station, but went to Eddie Rose's house to check the scene.
The deputy team is presiding over the site survey work.
After arriving at the scene, Luke checked carefully at Eddie Rose's house,
The situation at the scene was basically consistent with Eddie Rose's description. It was very clean, and almost no biological samples of any suspects were found.
The suspect is very professional.
This specialty is not only reflected in the clean-up of the scene, suspects can easily sneak into other people's homes, so that adult men have no chance to call for help, which is not something ordinary people can do.
And according to the victim, Eddie Rose, the suspect may not be carrying a gun, which not only increases the difficulty of committing the crime, but also shows the extreme confidence of the other party.
After visiting the surrounding neighbors and collecting monitoring around the community, Luke led the team back to the police station.
…
In the Office of the Robbery and Murder Division.
Luke recounted Eddie Rose's confession, and concluded, "Before, we all thought that the three cases were committed by the same suspect, but now it seems that there should be two suspects.
And the purpose of committing crimes of the two suspects is not the same.
The victim of the headless female corpse case, Novena Jones, was a silver seller. She was probably killed by a white suspect.
Eddie Ross, who was cut off below, was attacked by a black man wearing a mask.
As for the second victim, Petrov, who did not cooperate with the police investigation, his experience was similar to that of Eddie Rose. He was **** and a certain part was cut off, but he was not killed.
In addition, Petrov once said that the suspect was wearing a black mask, which coincided with Eddie Rose's confession.
Of course, although they are two different suspects with different purposes, there is a connection between them.
This connection is Novena Jones. "
The deputy team said, "Do you think that the suspect wearing the mask is a relative or friend of Novena Jones, and he attacked Petrov and Eddie Rose in order to avenge Novena Jones."
Jenny said, "This masked suspect has the same purpose as the police, and is also investigating the murderer of Novena Jones."
Luke replied, "Yes, but his methods are more radical, which to a certain extent interfered with the police investigation.
However, from another perspective, he may also have clues that the police do not understand.
And the police also have clues that he doesn't understand.
As long as he can be caught and the clues from both parties are gathered, the murderer of Novena Jones may be found.
Both cases can be solved. "
Jackson asked, "The masked black suspect was very cunning, and neither crime scene left much clues.
The third victim, Eddie Ross, didn't see his face either. Based on these alone, we can't confirm his identity, let alone find him. "
Luke made a cup of tea and said, "Under normal circumstances, it is indeed difficult to find black men wearing masks, but don't forget that he is also investigating the case of Novena Jones' murder.
As long as we can predict the direction of his investigation and set up an ambush in advance, we can wait to catch him. "
"Good idea." Xiao Hei echoed, and continued, "We investigated Petrov, and the masked suspect also attacked Petrov.
After that, we found Eddie Ross again, and the masked suspect failed to find Eddie Ross.
That is to say, he is in the same direction as our investigation. "
Little Hei's brain was wide open, and his eyes scanned everyone, "Could there be a ghost here?"
The deputy team shook his head, "You've watched too many TV shows, so why are there so many ghosts? I'd rather believe that the masked suspect installed bugs around us than believe there are ghosts."
"Snapped!"
Xiao Hei snapped his fingers, "That's right, that's what I want to say, did the masked suspect install a bug in the police station?"
Luke thought about it, and felt that this idea is theoretically possible, but it is very difficult to operate. Compared with the tricky operation of installing a bug, Luke also has his own speculation.
"It's right to be cautious. Everyone can check their mobile phones and equipment to see if they have been bugged."
Everyone checked in a hurry, but no bugs were found.
Luke continued, "I have another theory than installing a bug.
First of all, the black suspect wearing a mask must have known Novena Jones, and the relationship between the two parties is relatively close.
He should know the true identity of Novena Jones and the existence of Petrov.
After Novena Jones’ accident, the masked black suspect suspected that Petrov did it, and then found Petrov’s house and tortured him to extract a confession.
After some questioning, he found out that Petrov was not the murderer, but he did not let him go easily, and continued to ask about the murder of Novena Jones. For example, Novena Jones was beaten by those clients before , which perverted clients have abusive tendencies.
Petrov said the name of Eddie Rose. After that, the masked black suspect found Eddie Rose and asked him if he killed Novena Jones.
If my guess is correct, the investigation clues of the masked black man mainly came from Petrov.
You should know that there are quite a few prostitutes like Eddie Rose who like to beat up the money sellers and have special hobbies. These people have more or less mental or psychological problems, and the crimes may be relatively serious.
If the masked black suspect can find Eddie Ross, it is possible to find other guests with special hobbies. "
Xiao Hei shrugged, "But the key problem is that we don't know now. Novena Jones is dead, and it is impossible to tell us."
Luke said, "But Petrov knew that he probably told the masked black suspect as well.
As long as we can pry Petrov's mouth open, we can get the investigation clues of the masked black suspect and set up an ambush in advance. "
The deputy team thought for a while, "This idea is not a problem, but it is not easy to pry Petrov's mouth away."
"You are right, so leave this matter to me.
Deputy team, there is another direction that you need to investigate? "
The deputy team guessed, "You want me to start with Novena Jones' peripheral relations."
"That's right, the black suspect wearing a mask is willing to avenge Novena Jones, which shows that the relationship between the two must be unusual. They are either lovers or friends. There must be intersections between them, and the relationship will be relatively close. "
"Leave it to me," the deputy team responded, but in fact, this clue is not easy to find. Novena Jones doesn't even have any relatives in Los Angeles, and she doesn't have a serious job. She can only investigate from around her home address.
…
Crackdown and anti-drug department.
The Anti-Mafia and Anti-Drug Division is not far from the Robbery and Murder Division, that is, it is a matter of going up and down the stairs. Compared with the Robbery and Murder Division, the former has a larger office and more complicated personnel.
"Boom boom."
Luke symbolically knocked on the office door, "Deputy David, is Captain Jones there?"
David stood up, "Yes, do you want me to take you in?"
"It could not be better."
Then, the two knocked on the door and entered Jones' office.
"Hey, Captain Luke, what a rare visitor, it's the first time you come to my office." Jones asked Luke to sit down with a smile.
"Captain Jones, I'm here to ask you for help."
"I heard from David that I had contact with the boss of the Bear Gang, and this **** didn't buy it. The thing that kept pushing Petrov away has nothing to do with him."
Luke said, "Is there any way for you to bypass the Bear Gang and get Petrov to cooperate with the police investigation."
"It's almost impossible. As far as I know, the family members of these gang members are all in Eastern Europe. If Petrov dares to betray the gang, his family...
Therefore, even if he was sentenced to death, he would not dare to defect. "
"So the problem is still with the Bear Gang."
"That's right, there have been few large-scale actions by lapd recently. Many gangs have forgotten that lapd is the boss of this city. This is very bad, especially those arrogant bears."
"I want to get Petrov's statement. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"My suggestion is that our two departments launch a joint operation to sweep up the Mao Bear Gang and let him realize who is the boss of Los Angeles.
As long as it hurts them and makes them unable to do business, they will naturally compromise. "
Luke frowned, "Will there be some mobilization?"
Jones shrugged, "That depends on what you think.
But there is no rush.
Our two departments work together, if you like.
If you don’t want to, I can just wait. "
Luke smiled, he really likes Jones' character, "OK, happy cooperation."
…
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Downtown Los Angeles.
Stewart Avenue, this block is very busy during the day, but it is very deserted at night, and occasionally a car can be seen passing by.
As for whether it is a serious car or not, I don’t know.
A tall, blond-haired, fair-skinned woman stood on the side of the road, wearing revealing clothes and heavy makeup. It was difficult to tell her exact age.
The woman has a pair of big blue eyes, looking at the passing vehicles, and occasionally winking.
A gray BMW drove over and stopped not far away.
The door of the cab opened, and a black man got out of the car, "Hey, beauty, do you want a ride?"
The white woman asked with a charming face, "Are you good at driving?"
"Of course, my nickname is California Hot Hot."
"Hehe, two hundred dollars an hour."
"Are you a silver girl?"
"Does it have to be called that? Wouldn't it be nice to just make friends, spend some quality time together, and then fund the friend's travel expenses back home?"
The black man smiled, his smile was a bit wretched, "OK, get in the car, I'll take you to a good place."
The white woman said, "I don't go to guests' houses, I usually go to hotels."
"Is it okay in the car?"
"I have to pay more."
The black man looked the woman up and down, "No problem, come up."
The black man returned to the cab and unlocked the door.
The white woman opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. However, she suddenly realized that there was someone behind the car, a young white man.
The white woman was a little surprised, pointing to the back row, "Who is he?"
The black man laughed, "He's my friend, so ignore him."
"Wait, I think it's better to make it clear, will he also come together?"
"Uh...he'll pay too."
"nonono, it's not about the money, I only play poker with one person at a time, can't accept two, I'm getting off."
The black man stretched out his hand to grab the white woman, but she avoided her.
The black man grabbed her backpack, "Hey, don't go, I told you, I'll give you double money."
"I said no, let me go, you pervert." The white woman snatched back her backpack, hurriedly opened the car door, and ran towards the street in the distance.
While running, she looked back, as if she was afraid that those two people would catch up, "What the **** is this, why are there so many perverts..."
The woman ran to a dark corner of the street, took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag, lit one and started smoking.
"What are you doing, Yulia?" A man with Mao Xiong Guo's accent came over.
"Andre, you scared me to death."
"Why don't you go to the street to do business, and hide here to smoke?" Andre was a little dissatisfied.
"I just met two perverts."
"What pervert? What happened to them?"
“In the beginning, one person talked to me, but when I got in the car, I found out that it was two people who wanted to play poker together, but I refused.
That rude black man is still grabbing me and won't let me go.
I was intimidated. "
"The two of them play poker, and they are only willing to pay for one person?"
"Two money."
"Then why didn't you agree?"
"Andre, it's not about money, I... can't accept it, it really can't."
"Yulia, it's not your first day to work. You should be more mature. It's not a bad thing to earn two jobs at the same time."
"I bought Karma's...
Andre, can you think about it for me, I am not an animal, I am a human, a living person.
You can't do this to me, you can't... woohoo" Yulia cried.
"Shut up, don't cry anymore, forget about it.
Fix up your makeup and immediately go to the street and stand for me. If your income doesn’t meet the standard today, you know the consequences. "
"Woooo..." At this moment, a gray BMW drove over.
Yulia stared wide-eyed, pointing at the gray BMW, "This is the car, and that perverted black man is driving."
"Hey, calm down, let me talk to them." Andre waved his hand.
Two men got out of the gray BMW, one black and one white.
The black man smiled and said, "Hey Yulia, we meet again."
"How do you know my name?" Yulia was a little surprised, she never told the guests her real name.
"I also know that you all belong to the Bear Gang." The black man flashed his police badge, "lapd, you are under arrest."
Behind, Jackson had already pulled out a pistol and pointed at Andre and Yulia, "Don't move, put your head in your hands, and squat on the ground."
Andre complained in a low voice, "You **** actually attracted the police."
"I don't know." Yulia was a little helpless.
"Sir, this has nothing to do with me, I don't know her." Andre squatted on the ground, not daring to resist, but also unwilling to be arrested.
"Then why are you together?"
"She took the initiative to strike up a conversation, saying that she didn't bring a lighter, so she borrowed one from me."
Xiao Hei asked back, "Is it that simple?"
"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can ask her."
Yulia glanced at Andre, nodded, "Yes, I don't know him, I took the initiative to borrow fire from him."
"Really? I thought you were in the same group." Xiao Hei handcuffed Yulia, and handcuffed Andre with another pair of handcuffs.
"Sir, you arrested the wrong person, I really don't know her." Andre argued.
"Do you think I will believe it? According to our investigation, you two not only know each other, but you are also his upline, the organizer of the silver sale."
Andre asked loudly, "nonono, you are making a false accusation, what evidence do you have?"
"You want evidence?"
"That's right, Los Angeles is a place where the law is respected, and lapd can't arrest people at will."
Xiao Hei smiled, reached into Yulia's bag, and took out a miniature bug, "Sorry, when you were in my car just now, this thing accidentally fell into it.
What you just said has been recorded.
Shall I play it for you, Andrei! "
