Chapter 358 Invitation
Half an hour ago, Natasha's house.
A black Dodge car was parked on the side of the road, and Xiao Hei and Porter got out of the car.
Xiao Hei glanced around, "Dude, this case is unusual, follow my winks and act smartly."
Potter patted his cheek, "Have you ever seen such an old rookie?"
Little underworld, "Rookies are regardless of age. If I run for the Grand Commander now, I will be called a rookie."
Porter laughed, "Haha, you've already started planning for retirement."
Little underworld, "Will you choose me?"
"Of course, it's better than two old men who wrestled while walking."
"Ha ha…"
During the conversation, the two walked to the door of Natasha's house.
Xiao Hei looked around again. The explosion of the Vaughan Jiu-Jitsu Club made him feel terrified, and he reminded, "If you hear an abnormal sound or see me running, you will also run."
Potter said seriously, "I will."
Xiao Hei knocked on the door, "Dong Dong."
No one responded, Potter took out his pistol, "I'll go to the back door to see."
Xiao Hei knocked on the door again, there was still no movement in the room, then Xiao Hei went to the window to check, the house was too dark to see clearly what was going on inside.
"Marcus." Potter's voice came from the backyard.
Xiao Hei walked to the backyard with a gun, and saw Potter standing by the window in the backyard, and the window in the backyard had been broken.
With Xiao Hei's cover, Potter took out the flashlight and looked into the window, "There are signs of the room being turned over, and no one is seen."
The two didn't enter the house immediately, Xiao Hei called to tell Luke, and Potter contacted the surrounding patrol police for support.
A few minutes later, the nearby patrol police arrived at the scene, and Xiao Hei and Potter broke through the door and entered the room to search.
The house was a bit messy. The cabinets, sofas, and wardrobes all showed signs of being turned over. Some items were scattered on the ground, showing obvious signs of being stolen, but no suspicious figures were seen.
Xiao Hei guessed that just after Natasha was killed, her house was burglarized. There should be a connection between the two, and this should not be just a simple theft.
Xiao Hei walked out of the house and was about to call Luke to report, when he suddenly saw a gray car not far away. The lights of the car were off, but he saw a faint light.
Xiao Hei didn't dare to be careless, took out his pistol for vigilance, and walked towards the gray car. After getting closer for a certain distance, Xiao Hei vaguely saw a figure shaking in the car.
"LAPD, please open the windows."
Potter also heard the movement, holding a pistol to cover Xiao Hei behind.
The car window lowered slowly, and a head appeared in the cab, "Hi, Inspector Marcus, long time no see."
Xiao Hei froze for a moment, put down his pistol, "Pari Jones."
Sitting in the driver's cab was Xiao Hei's old friend, a black female reporter, "Woo... It's been a while since I've seen you, and I've already started calling her by my full name. It's really ruthless."
"I... was just a little surprised." Xiao Hei raised his pistol and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Is it illegal to park here?"
"No, you should understand what I mean, you are an excellent reporter, and you will not come here for no reason.
Could it be... you are following me? "
"Inspector Marcus, you still can't change your self-love, so I won't follow you.
I'm not interested in married men. "
Little Heidao, "Then let me tell you straight, are you here for the Jiu-Jitsu club's case?"
Pari Jones didn't speak.
Xiao Hei felt that she had guessed right, but she had doubts in her heart. How did she know that it belonged to Natasha's family?
How did she know that something happened to Natasha's house?
Considering that Pari Jones has always been well-informed and has her own news channel, could it be that she has clues that the police don't know, "Pari, how about we talk?"
"What are you talking about?"
"What do you know about the jujitsu club case?"
"Do you want to exchange information, or get information from me.
If it's the former, I'd be happy.
But if it's the latter..." Pari Jones showed an expression that you understand.
Xiao Hei smiled.
Pari Jones curled her lips, "I knew that without Luke's approval, you wouldn't dare to say anything.
Where is he? "
"Luke isn't here."
Pari Jones took out a note with writing on it, "Give this to Luke, I want to meet him, please come."
"when?"
Pari Jones glanced at his watch, "I'll wait for him there around eleven o'clock."
Xiao Hei shook his head, "Based on what I know about Luke, he might not go."
"Listen, I know... we had some misunderstandings before, but this time it's different, I do know some news about the Jiu-Jitsu club.
I need to meet with Luke and have a good talk. "
"Do you know the deceased?"
"Yes, Natasha and I have been in touch."
"What is your relationship? Why was Natasha killed?"
"If you want to know, ask Luke to see me tonight. I want to talk to him and settle our little grudge."
"I said, Luke may not go, why don't you talk to me?
You should know that I am much more talkative than Luke. "
Pari Jones shook her head, "You broke my heart."
"Comeon, Pari, I understand you, you are not the kind of stingy person, you value career more."
"You want to hear the truth?"
“Of course, we’re no longer… but we can still be friends and help each other out.”
"You are not qualified."
"What? I'm not qualified?"
"Sorry, I didn't want to say it, I didn't want to hurt you.
But it's true.
Help me convey to Luke that I have the clues he wants to solve the case, thank you. ’ Pari Jones closed the window.
Xiao Hei leaned over and said, "Don't go, if you really want to talk to Luke, I can take you to the police station."
"No, I won't go to the police station.
And, let Luke come alone, I don't want to see a second person.
especially you. "Pari Jones finished speaking and drove away.
"Damn it!" Xiao Hei was a little depressed, and spread his hands, "I'm Inspector Marcus now, the Inspector!"
Another scene.
The site of the collision and firefight has been cordoned off, and a number of police cars are parked around.
After the red car fled, Luke had contacted the surrounding patrol police to assist in intercepting it, but none of them found the car.
Luke and Jackson got a new car and searched the surrounding roads, also to no avail.
The crash site is already located in the suburbs of Los Angeles, and the road is surrounded by the endless desert. Luke guessed that the suspect vehicle probably drove into the desert from the road.
The surrounding police searched for more than an hour, but there was still no trace of the red car, so Luke had to give up.
Luke and other team members have been in touch. Xiao Hei and Potter rushed to Natasha's house and found that her house had been stolen, probably by the same group of suspects.
Now it can be basically determined that the target of the explosion should be Natasha, but the suspect's purpose is still unclear.
However, the arrogance of this group left a deep impression on Luke, intercepting police cars and shooting at the police, this is not something ordinary suspects can do, it is likely to be organized crime.
If Natasha is just a Jiu-Jitsu instructor, it is logically impossible to provoke these people?
Why did they blow up Natasha?
What items are you looking for in her house again?
Too many things happened tonight, the courier is very suspicious, and it is also the most important clue.
In addition, Luke wounded a suspect, and his blood was left at the scene of the shooting. If the suspect has a criminal record, he should be able to find out the identity of the suspect.
After dealing with the situation at the crime scene, Luke remembered something that Xiao Hei called and said.
Pari Jones.
This woman is very good at making things happen, but I have to say that she is really good at making news. She found Natasha's house immediately. Judging from her tone of voice, she probably knew Natasha and knew some things that the police didn't know. clues to understand.
Luke can roughly guess the reason why the other party wants to see him. This woman wants to make big news, and she probably wants to exchange some clues and news with him.
If the other party can really provide some clues that are beneficial to the investigation, Luke doesn't mind exchanging some clues with her that don't violate the regulations.
With Luke's current position, he has certain autonomy in this regard.
After eleven o'clock in the evening, Luke came to the address written on the note.
Camose Bar.
The location of this bar is relatively remote, and the sign is very old. There are a few black people chatting at the door, looking at Luke from time to time.
If it was placed in the past, Luke would definitely stare back viciously, and might even beat them up in a bad mood.
But today Luke doesn't want to cause trouble, nor does he want to expose his identity.
Luke glanced at his watch, he was already much later than the scheduled time, but he believed that Pari Jones should be waiting for him.
Luke entered the bar, the space inside was larger than expected, and the decoration style was a bit similar to African style. However, there were not many people in the bar, only a few tables. There were a few black people dancing on the dance floor, there were men and women , looks pretty cool.
Most of the bars are black people, and Luke's sudden appearance here is somewhat different, which has attracted a lot of attention.
Luke also looked around, but didn't find Pari Jones. Could it be that this woman has left?
Luke has the other party's mobile phone number, but he doesn't want to take the initiative to call. If Luke guessed correctly, the other party should call again later.
Luke sat down at the bar, "Is there anything to eat here?"
He was so busy until midnight that he didn't even bother to eat dinner.
The bartender said, "This place only sells alcohol. There are snacks over there, you need to get them yourself."
"A glass of beer." Luke was going to drink a glass of beer to cushion his stomach first.
At this moment, Luke felt someone walking behind him, and turned his head to look. It was a middle-aged Latino man wearing a baseball cap and holding his coat pocket in his right hand.
The Latin man sat beside Luke, still holding his coat pocket in his right hand, "Are you waiting for someone?"
Luke turned to face him.
The Latino man reminded, "Don't move, look at my right pocket, I don't want to hurt you, but my fingers sometimes don't work."
Luke looked at each other, and then looked around. There was also a Latino man sitting at a table not far away. He was younger and looked only in his twenties.
"Who are you?"
The Latino man in a baseball cap said, "Don't worry about it, just leave it to me."
Luke didn't know what he was talking about, which was different from the agreement he had with Pari Jones, but Luke didn't say it, "I'm not waiting for you, maybe you've got the wrong person."
"That's right, reporter Pari Jones asked us to come."
"OK, then did she tell you what to get?"
"You know what she wants, and so do we, don't play tricks." The man in the baseball cap shook his right pocket, his tone full of threats.
"Our previous agreement was not a one-sided payment. What about the things she gave me?"
"Do you want bullets? I can send you some.
Stop wearing my patience, huh? "
Luke asked back, "Do you know who I am?"
The Latino man in a baseball cap threatened, "I don't know who you used to be, but if you don't get what I want, you're going to be dead."
The two of them spoke in a low voice, and did not attract other attention for the time being.
The bartender came over with a beer and put it in front of Luke, "Ten dollars."
The Latino man in the baseball cap glances at the bartender.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luke made a direct move, swung his left fist, and hit the opponent's temple directly.
"boom!"
A gunshot, and Luke felt his clothes jerk.
The man in the baseball cap was directly hit by Luke, and the gun in his hand fell.
Luke was very confident in his fist, and without looking at him, he took out a pistol with his right hand and shot at another Latino man.
"Bang bang..."
Both sides fired at almost the same time, and Luke felt a bullet fly past his shoulder.
At the same time, Luke also fired three shots in a row, and the bullet hit the opponent's chest.
The young Latino man fell directly to the ground, blood pouring from his chest, and the gun in his hand fell.
"Ah..." The guests at the bar screamed.
At this time, Luke didn't mean to stop, and fired four shots at the Latino man who was knocked to the ground by him.
"boom…"
All four shots hit the limbs of the body, directly causing the Latino man in a baseball cap to lie on the ground, unable to move, and let out a burst of wailing, "Ahh..."
Actually, the man in the baseball cap fell into a brief coma after being punched by Luke, but the gunshot woke him up, and he had already gone to touch the gun.
If Luke hadn't hit him in the limbs first, he would have fired back anyway.
【The bullet avoidance card is activated and has been used. 】
A familiar voice came from Luke's mind, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He shot another shot at the man in the baseball cap, directly piercing the palm of his right hand, "Ah..."
There was another scream.
As for another Latino man who was shot in the neck, he is probably dead.
The bar was empty at this time, and the other guests either ran away screaming or hid.
Luke glanced around, and his eyes fell on the man in the baseball cap, "It's clean now, let's have a good chat."
The man in the baseball cap showed panic, "Don't kill me, please, don't kill me."
Luke sat on the chair, picked up the beer glass, and took a big sip, "Who are you?"
