Chapter 9 Brothers
Eno Commercial Plaza is located at the junction of three communities.
The little fat man and the white girl did not enter the Eno community on the west side, but went to the Calle community on the south side.
After a few minutes, the girl walked to the door of a villa with a gray roof and waved goodbye to the little fat man.
The little fat man stood at the door with a smirk, watching the girl go home.
It took a while for the girl to enter the door before the little fat man turned and left.
After walking a few steps, I found a black Harley motorcycle in the distance, and a black-haired young man beside the car looked at him with a half-smile.
The little fat man hesitated for a while, maybe because of his guilty conscience, he took the initiative to greet with a smile, "Wow, what a coincidence, why are you here?"
Luke lit a cigarette and took a puff, "Is that your girlfriend?"
"No, we are just classmates, don't talk nonsense." The little fat man immediately denied it.
"I saw you drinking milk tea with the same straw, do you and your classmates do that?"
The little fat man said angrily, "Are you following me?"
"It seems that I guessed right, you really have a girlfriend."
"Are you lying to me?"
"I am concerned about you, you are too young, falling in love now will affect your studies."
"Did I hear it wrong, did you actually care about me, the sun came out from the west?"
Luke took a puff of smoke, "Pay attention to your attitude, I am your brother."
"So what? You are not my guardian."
"You're right, I should tell my mother about this, and congratulate her in advance for having a grandson."
"We've just been dating, and we haven't done that kind of thing yet. Don't tell mom about it." The little fat man begged in his tone.
Luke didn't want to get into too much trouble with his younger brother, after all, he still had to live in that house temporarily, "OK, if you want me to keep it a secret, you have to promise me a condition."
"Yeah, I understand." The little fat man looked like he had known this before, and took out a handful of money from his pocket and handed it to Luke.
Luke looked confused, "What do you mean?"
"Comeon, this is all my pocket money." Although the little fat man was reluctant, he still planted the money in Luke's hands, and his skillful movements made people feel distressed.
Luke counted, and there was a total of $126.
"We have reached an agreement, huh." The little fat man shrugged and turned to leave.
"etc."
"You cheated me of all the New Year's money my dad gave me during the Chinese New Year, and that's all I have." The little fat man's eyes were red and his voice was choked up.
Luke took out another four hundred dollars from his pocket, and dumped 526 dollars into the hands of the little fat man.
"What do you mean?" Now it was the fat man's turn to be confused.
"Repay your lucky money."
"Are you serious?"
"Don't forget it."
"nonono! I was just too surprised." The little fat man took back the money in his hand and counted it carefully, "You only took three hundred dollars from me, why did you give me an extra one."
"That's your pocket money."
"Ou Maiga, I'm not dreaming." The little fat man slapped himself, the sound of "slap" was crisp, and there was an obvious red mark on his face.
"I'm not dreaming. I still can't believe it." The little fat man was stunned for a while before he remembered something, "You just asked me to agree to a condition, what is it?"
Luke said, "Don't call me an **** again."
"Oh... how did you know?" The little fat man was a little guilty. Since he was cheated out of his New Year's money, he did scold Luke as an **** behind his back, but he was afraid of being beaten, so he never said it to his face.
"I'm the police."
"I can guarantee that the words brother and **** are like two parallel lines that will never intersect again."
Luke put on his helmet, "good, get in the car."
"I've wanted to try it for a long time, but this is the first time you have invited me." The little fat man sat on the back seat of the motorcycle, and the tire was obviously flat.
Luke twisted the accelerator, and the Harley let out a roar.
The little fat man looked eager to try, "You know? I want to drive the Harley myself more than sitting in the back."
Luke smiled, "Go ahead and think about it."
…
Saturday morning.
Police Detective Agency.
The atmosphere in the office is a bit depressing.
David glanced at Luke, "I thought you wouldn't be here today."
Under normal circumstances, if there is no urgent case in hand, the detective can rest on Saturdays and Sundays.
If there is a case investigation, you can only retire.
Luke really struggled about whether to come today. I don’t know if it was out of the police’s sense of responsibility or simply interested in the case, but he still came.
"No new cases happened last night?"
David shrugged, "I haven't received any news yet."
Vinson's deputy said, "No news, but good news."
Raymond looked at the clock on the wall, "The first two Taser robberies were committed on Friday night, before one o'clock in the morning.
But I haven’t received any police reports today. Is it possible that the suspect did not commit the crime last night. "
Vinson's deputy picked up a comb and brushed his thin silver hair, "The suspect left the **** words 'youlike' at the scene to provoke the police, and it is absolutely impossible to stop easily.
He will definitely commit crimes again. "
Luke took advantage of the situation and said, "Did the suspect change the time or method of committing the crime?"
Vinson's deputy team thought for a while, "The suspect's crime characteristics are obvious, and I personally think that it is unlikely to change."
Jenny turned the carbon pen in her hand, "There is also a possibility that the suspect committed another crime last night, but the victim did not choose to call the police for some reason."
Vinson's deputy team snapped their fingers, "Binggou, I think this possibility is relatively high.
The suspects chose remote locations when committing crimes, and the victim was probably not discovered by others before he woke up.
Although the suspects stole all their belongings and clothes, the actual economic losses were not large, and most people would not carry too much belongings with them.
On the contrary, being stripped naked is even more unacceptable.
Some women are ashamed to speak up after encountering such a thing, and may choose to remain silent. "
Jenny said, "Although I am also a woman and can understand their situation, I still feel that they are condoning crime."
"Crackling..."
The door of the office of the Robbery and Murder Division was pushed open, and Marcus the black man walked in, wearing a gold necklace around his neck, with a police badge hanging under the necklace, very angry.
"Hey guys, here I come!"
Vincent's deputy pointed to the watch on the wall, "You're late."
"comeon, I stayed up all night to investigate the case. You shouldn't treat a man who works hard and gives everything to the police like this."
Vincent's deputy team snorted, "Glib boy, you better bring some useful clues."
ten minutes later.
meeting room.
Captain Susan sat at the head of the conference table and asked with a serious face, "Marcus, tell me about your investigation."
Marcus took a big sip of coffee, put down the coffee cup and said, "Jenny, put two pieces of candy for me next time, thank you."
Jenny directly returned the middle finger.
Marcus smiled, "Yesterday, I contacted some friends in the gang and asked them to help investigate the clues of the 'postman'.
This kid is elusive and hard to find.
It took me a lot of money to find out about him. He is a firearms expert. Pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, and tasers can all be modified.
This guy is nothing short of a genius.
I showed him the photo of the modified Taser gun, and he admitted that he modified the gun. A total of five Taser guns were modified and put on consignment in three gun stores.
Joway Gun Store is one of them. "
Susan asked, "What is the real identity of the 'postman'? Why didn't he take him to the police station for investigation?"
Marcus said, "I promised my friends in the gang that I would not touch him before I could find out the news.
If I catch him, no one will help me in similar situations in the future. "
Susan asked, "How do you know what he said is true? If he is deceiving you? Maybe even an accessory."
Marcus said, "I follow the rules, and he should follow the rules. If he lies, he will die miserably."
Susan frowned slightly, and the atmosphere in the conference room was a little awkward.
Vinson's deputy reminded in a low voice, "Captain, the focus now is to catch the murderer.
This is not the Ministry of Internal Affairs... If you stick to those rules, it will only make the investigation more difficult. "
"I know this is not the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Susan asked back, "Then do you know why the director asked me, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to take over the captaincy?"
This sentence hit the weakness of Vincent's deputy team, "I don't know, and I don't want to know."
