Chapter 432 Conflict
Fourbler, Department of Criminal Investigations.
Chen Yue's transcript brought a major turning point in the case.
Luke and others returned to the office to investigate this situation.
Amir was also discharged from the hospital, with a look of color on his face, "I've said it a long time ago, Zhou Tiancheng is definitely not a simple person to become the king of gambling.
Will not be killed so easily. "
Louis curled her lips, "You didn't say that it was Song Jinbao who died."
Amir said unconvinced, "Who can guarantee that Song Jinbao will die, maybe Chen Yue lied.
Maybe Chen Ning's biological father is neither Zhou Tiancheng nor Song Jinbao.
Who knows? "
"Wow." Michael showed an exaggerated expression, "However, what Amir said makes sense, we can't just rely on Chen Yue's words to determine that the deceased is Song Jinbao.
We've already gotten it wrong once.
Never make the same mistake again. "
Luke did not find any sign of Chen Yue lying, and said, "I think we should make two-handed preparations.
On the one hand, verify whether the deceased is Song Jinbao, and confirm the authenticity of Chen Yue's transcript.
On the other hand, we are looking for Zhou Tiancheng's whereabouts. Since we know that he may not be the deceased, it is best to find him as soon as possible. Once he leaves New York, it will be difficult for us to find him. "
Louis rubbed her chin, "If Zhou Tiancheng is really not dead, where do you think he would be?"
Amir replied, "I've been lying on the hospital bed and thinking a lot these days. If I were Zhou Tiancheng, even if I survived by luck, I would be hunted down by various forces.
Because Zhou Tiancheng is now a big fat sheep walking.
The best way to get rid of the hunt is to change to a new identity, a new face, so that the chaser cannot recognize.
In this way we can start a new life. ’ Amir concludes, ‘I suspect, he might go for plastic surgery. "
Louis said, "Zhou Tiancheng's identity is very sensitive now, if he goes to a plastic surgery hospital, he will leave a medical record, and Fobole and the New York police will keep an eye on him.
This is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap. "
Amir added, "I didn't say he would go to a formal cosmetic facility.
He can go to a black clinic for plastic surgery, as long as he has money, no records will be left, and he will run away after changing his appearance. "
Luke praised, "Good idea."
Michael said, "As far as I know, there are indeed some black clinics in the underground black market in New York, but it is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch, and most of them need to be introduced through gang connections.
Zhou Tiancheng has a very close relationship with Zheng Lagong, and he will probably contact the black clinic through Zheng Lagong's channel.
Could this be why Zhou Tiancheng killed Zheng Lagong?
As long as Zheng Lagong is dead, no one will know about the black clinic, and no one will know about the change of face. "
The more Michael thought about it, the more likely it was, and then he began to arrange manual investigations.
The first thing is to confirm the real identity of the corpse.
Secondly, investigate Zheng Lagong's peripheral relations, focusing on channels related to black clinics.
…
Chinatown.
Ji Manxiang Restaurant.
With a sound of "crash...", the shutter door of the shop was pulled up.
Li Zhaonian's family of three felt a little bit emotional. This restaurant is their source of income and has become a part of their life.
The neighbor next to him also heard the movement. An Asian uncle with a beer belly asked, "Yo, Lao Li, you are here. Where are you going? It has not been open for so many days?"
"Isn't it Chinese New Year, so I rested for a few more days.
Come here today to clean up and buy goods, and start working tomorrow. "
"That's great, I haven't eaten your donkey meat for a while, I'm so hungry."
"Come on, don't cook tomorrow, I'll send it to you, two donkey meats on fire, and a bowl of wonton soup."
"My relatives came to travel and brought me some tea. I can't wait any longer. I'll get you some to try."
"okay.
You go to work, we clean up the restaurant. "
The family of three entered the restaurant. Will saw the restaurant was in a mess, smashed tables and chairs, and dried blood on the ground. He looked worried and felt a little guilty.
"Mom and Dad, how did you get the blood?"
Yao Xin glanced outside the door, and whispered, "After Zhang Qilong's body was discovered, his three younger brothers came to the store to look for you, and when they couldn't find anyone, they smashed up the restaurant and threatened me and your father...
Fortunately, Luke came and beat up the three gangsters. The blood of the three gangsters was on the ground. "
Will breathed a sigh of relief, and said guiltily, "It's all my fault.
If I hadn't handled things well, the restaurant wouldn't have been smashed by those bastards. "Speaking of this, Will was a little angry and clenched his fists involuntarily.
Li Zhaonian persuaded, "Will, don't be impulsive, this matter has to be done according to your brother's instructions."
Will nodded, "I know. I listen to my brother."
Li Zhaonian patted his son on the shoulder, "You are still young, it is normal to make mistakes.
learn from mistakes.
All right, let’s start tidying up, there’s a lot of work today. "
The family of three began to clean up the restaurant, mopping the floor, overhauling the tables and chairs, repairing what could be repaired with tools, and throwing away what could not be repaired.
Li Zhaonian went to the market to get food.
Will went to the warehouse to find some extra tables and chairs..."
…
It's past eight o'clock in the evening.
A family of three packed up the restaurant.
Li Zhaonian was so tired that he sat down on a chair, looked at the clean and tidy restaurant, and said with a smile, "It will open tomorrow."
Yao Xin said, "I used to feel tired of running a restaurant, but after taking a break for a while, my heart is not at ease, but it is not as steady as when I was working."
"Who says no, I have only so much ability in my life." Li Zhaonian looked at his son beside him, "Will, you have grown up and have your own ideas.
Your mom and I... also figured it out, we won't chain you to this restaurant.
Think about it yourself, what exactly you want to do, we will help you plan. "
"Okay." Will was a little surprised, but also a little moved.
He won what he always wanted, but he didn't seem to be that happy.
"Yo, is it pretty clean?" An untimely voice sounded from the door of the restaurant.
Will turned his head and looked, five men walked in outside, and the leader was the gangster Lan Mao from He Sheng Tang.
The three members of Li Zhaonian's family looked at each other with expressions of fear on their faces.
Yao Xin grabbed his son, afraid that he would be impulsive.
Li Zhaonian also stood in front of his son and forced a smile, "The restaurant hasn't officially opened today, so we can eat tomorrow."
The pockmarked face glanced around with squinting eyes, and when he saw no one else, he cleared his throat, "Damn, why are you pretending to be stupid, we seem to be here for dinner.
You got a cerebral thrombosis, so you don’t know men so soon. "
Li Zhaonian said politely, "We know each other. Didn't we agree last time? Both sides have something wrong. From now on, well water will not violate river water."
Blue hair pointed to Will's nose, "This **** killed our Brother Long, it's not that easy to pass.
Boy, if you are sensible and don’t want to hurt your family, come back to Heshengtang with us. "
Will suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "I didn't kill Zhang Qilong.
If I really killed Zhang Qilong, you don’t need to come, the police also took me away. "
Pockmarked with disdain, "NYPD is a fart, did you kill Brother Long, we have the final say with Shengtang, understand?"
Li Zhaonian was afraid of Will's impulsiveness, so he pushed him back and said, "Brothers, we all knew last time that you also came out to mess around. It's okay if you don't regret it now."
Lan Mao's face changed, "I @#￥%...don't mention what happened last time, I really thought grandpa was afraid of that bastard."
Blue Mao took out a gun from his pocket, showing a fierce look, "Brothers, take the gun out."
"Swipe..."
The blue-haired, pock-marked, and fat gangsters all took out pistols from their pockets.
The other two gangsters were standing by the side, as if they were here to stand.
Lan Mao pointed the gun at Will, then moved the gun to Li Zhaonian, "Don't think that you are awesome because you have a nephew who can fight.
No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. I killed him with one shot.
He has one gun, we have three.
In this place in Chinatown, he is a tiger who has to lie down for me, and a dragon who has to be coiled for me.
We and Shengtang have the final say on this boundary, understand? "
Maybe because of the gun in his hand, Lan Mao is full of confidence, and seems to have forgotten the little setback last time.
"Hey, you guys are secretly having a party behind my back again." Luke walked into the restaurant with a smile, Li Zhaonian heaved a sigh of relief, and Yao Xin's tense face also eased.
Will kept his eyes on the gun in Blue Hair's hand.
After seeing Luke, the blue hair shrank his neck first, then shook the gun in his hand firmly, raised his chin slightly and said to Luke, "Hey, boy, what's your name? I forgot to ask last time."
"Really? I thought I told you.
My name is Luke Lee, can you put down the guns in your hands? A restaurant is a place to hold chopsticks, so it's impolite. "
Lan Mao raised his eyebrows, "Do you **** have amnesia?
Last time you were the one who drew the gun first. If you hadn’t had a gun, I would have knocked you down long ago.
Boy, don’t think you can fight, none of us present are worse than you. "
"You came to the restaurant to say this, I hear you. You can go."
"Let's go?" Blue Mao smiled and said to the companions around him, "He let us go, haha." Blue Mao pointed a gun at Luke, "You think you are the one who decides here?
No, I am the boss here.
it's me. "
Will's face became very ugly, and his two fists were clenched tightly. If only he had a gun now.
It was us who were wrong that day, we were wrong, and we were willing to lose money. "
Blue Hair glared at Luke fiercely, "I want you to tell."
Luke said sincerely, "You are right, we were wrong that day.
I apologize to you. "
"Do you know how to apologize now? It's too late!" Lan Mao waved his hand and said to the four younger brothers, "Brothers, smash this place for me.
Once they clean it up, we smash it once.
When they really realize how serious their mistake is, this matter will be over, lol..."
Lan Mao smiled arrogantly, raised his foot and kicked the chair next to him, and came out for nothing, isn't it just to enjoy revenge.
"Haha..." The younger brothers also laughed, gearing up, ready to smash the store.
Blue hair gave Luke a provocative look. We have five people and three guns. How can you beat me?
When the store is smashed, I will clean up you!
"Woooo..." At this moment, a siren sounded.
"Fuck! Who called the police?" Lan Mao looked at Li Zhaonian and the others, then pointed at Luke.
Luke shrugged, "It's none of our business.
It's not too late outside, maybe someone heard the movement and called the police. "
"Don't scare me with the police, what are you going to do? Send us to the police station?" Blue Hair put away his pistol, but he wasn't very nervous.
Luke said, "We are in business, and peace is the most important thing.
What happened last time was that we were wrong, we were willing to pay $500 in compensation, and this matter was revealed. what do you think?
We are sincere. "
"Five hundred dollars is too little, I want a thousand dollars." Lan Mao heard the sound of sirens approaching, his voice was a little weak, but in front of his younger brother, he couldn't be cowardly, otherwise he couldn't stand up at all.
"I'll give it." Li Zhaonian hurriedly took out a thousand dollars in cash and handed it to Lan Mao.
"You guys are acquainted, let's go."
Lan Mao waved his hand, beckoned the younger brother to leave, and said to Luke who was beside him, "Think about how to tell the police, if we are implicated, you will regret it at some point."
"Don't worry, we will solve it."
Lan Mao took a few younger brothers out of the restaurant. After seeing the police car not far away, he hurried to another direction.
The prickly-faced boy asked, "Brother Lan, let's just forget about it?"
"Forget it, I want to send you off with a thousand dollars, this matter is endless.
Since you are willing to follow me, I will definitely not treat you badly.
In the future, we will not only eat delicious and spicy food, but also buy sports cars to meet foreign girls, haha..." Lan Mao began to draw big cakes to a group of younger brothers.
Zhang Qilong's death was not a bad thing for him.
He didn't really want to do anything to Luke, Li Zhaonian and others, but he was bullied badly by Luke last time. If he didn't get back his position, who would still be willing to hang out with him.
This time, not only did I regain my face, but I also got benefits, which is also a good start.
After a group of gangsters left, Will went out of the restaurant, said a few words to the two patrolmen, and the patrolmen also drove away.
Will returned to the restaurant with an ugly expression on his face, "Brother, these gangsters are too bullying, they even took out their guns and cheated us of a thousand dollars.
It’s fine if it’s just this time, I’m afraid they will break their word and come to the restaurant to blackmail. "
Yao Xin also showed a worried look, "Yes, I heard that blue hair said, let's clean it up once, and they smash it once, then how do we do business in the future.
If it really doesn’t work, let’s call the police. "
Li Zhaonian also feels that Luke is different today, but he has more experience and is not as anxious as his wife and son, "Luke, what are your plans?"
Lu pulled a chair and sat down, "Uncle, have you eaten yet?"
"Who cares?"
"Get something to eat first, let's talk while eating."
Seeing that Luke was still in the mood to eat, Yao Xin felt at ease and nodded, "I have some ready-made, I'll get them."
Will made a pot of tea and poured a cup for Luke, "Brother, what are your plans?"
Luke said, "It is not difficult to solve this matter, and the easiest way is for me to reveal my identity as a consultant of Fobole.
But there is a hidden danger here, I am not in New York often, I am gone, what do you do?
Another one, you just went undercover to the Dragon Gang.
If the Dragon Gang knows about our relationship, will they suspect you?
Although the possibility of suspicion is unlikely, there is no need to take this risk. "
Thinking of the methods used by the Feilong Gang to kill undercover agents, Will's expression turned ugly.
Actually, there is another more important reason why Luke did not disclose Fobole's identity.
He still needs an informant in New York to help with the dirty work.
Although this blue-haired man doesn't have much status yet, after Zhang Qilong's death, if he can be successfully promoted, he can be regarded as a small gang leader. In the future, he will have an extra eyeliner in Heshengtang.
If Luke reveals Fobole's identity, several of his younger brothers will also know Luke. Thinking of the Dragon Gang's method of cleaning up undercover agents, Luke thinks it's better to keep a low profile.
Luke picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, "There is another way that is safer.
The reason why Lanmao came to trouble is nothing more than face and liking.
In front of his younger brother just now, we have already given him enough face, and he is also stable as the 'boss'.
Then find him in private, just make enough lining. "
Li Zhaonian frowned and said, "How much will it cost?"
"Uncle, this word does not necessarily refer to money, just leave it to me."
"Is there any danger?"
"Don't worry, it's okay." Luke said indifferently.
Will has been a gangster for a few days, and knows that this group of gangsters are difficult to deal with, and they are the most difficult to deal with. "Brother, how about I go with you."
"No, I can do it alone." Luke has never seen any big storms, but he is just a little gangster, and he really doesn't pay attention to it.
Not long after, Yao Xin brought out some quick dishes, including donkey meat with marinated sauce, eggs with chopped peppers, stir-fried cabbage, hot and sour potato shreds, and rice as the staple food.
There are not many dishes, but a lot of food, enough for four people.
…
In a fast-moving red Toyota sedan, a familiar melody sounded.
【An opponent who cannot be modified
bring out the warmth always behind
Even if you are wordy, always pay attention
Too guilty for not knowing how to cherish...]
A few tone-deaf men were crying and howling in the car.
It is the Blue Hair gang.
They all drank wine, very sloppy and happy.
Lan Mao was a little drunk, and sat in the co-pilot proudly, waving his right hand, "Brothers, are you having a good day today."
"Cool."
"Is Moutai fragrant?"
"fragrant."
"Is the foreign girl pretty?"
"Pretty."
"I'll put the words here today, as long as you follow me in the future, Brother Lan will take you to eat and drink spicy food, okay?"
"good."
After Lan Mao shouted a slogan, he felt more and more proud. After so long, he finally made a name for himself.
Although there are not many people under him, he is the boss anyway.
These years, it is not in vain.
The red Toyota car parked under an apartment building, Lan Mao got out of the car drunkenly, and waved, "Brothers, I'm home.
See you tomorrow, I will bring you guys to make money then, okay? "
"Get money!"
"Get money!"
"Brother Lan, slow down."
The fat gangster saw that he was walking unsteadily, "Brother Lan, do you want me to take you up?"
"Give me some wool, this wine is nothing to me." Lan Mao snorted, turned and walked towards the apartment, waving from behind.
This is an old-fashioned apartment with a total of seven floors. Lan Mao has lived here for many years. Although he drank alcohol, he knows the way and does not affect his return home.
Lan Mao walked to the door, took out the key to unlock the lock, inserted it several times, and then opened the lock.
He entered the apartment room and was about to close the door.
The door remained motionless.
Lan Mao drank alcohol, his mind was not working, and he wanted to open the door to see what was going on.
As soon as the door was opened, he saw a person standing beside him.
The next one, that person rushed over, grabbed his arm, and before he could fight back, he felt a powerful force throwing him out.
With a sound of "Bang!", Lan Mao fell heavily on the ground, feeling that his bones were about to break, he was startled and angry, grinning in pain.
Suddenly, the light came on.
A person came over and stood directly above the blue hair.
After seeing this person, Lan Mao was startled, "It's you."
Luke greeted with a smile, "Good evening, Brother Blue."
Blue Mao reached out to touch the gun in his pocket, and just pulled it out.
Luke kicks him on the wrist and the pistol flies out.
"Put your little toy aside, I'll show you something different." Luke handcuffed him, grabbed the blue hair, and dragged him directly into the bathroom.
