Chapter 677 Dark Night
1 month 2 day.
11pm.
Lawson convenience store, Kazka Street.
A patrol car stopped on the side of the road, the passenger door opened, and John, wearing a police uniform, got out of the car.
He ran a few steps on the spot and did a few squats. People in middle age will feel uncomfortable if they sit for a long time.
A police officer also got out of the cab. He was a young Mexican police officer. He walked to John's side and moved his body in the same way.
John looked at the Mexican police officer, then at the police car and asked, "Rookie, did you forget something?"
When John said the word "rookie", he felt complicated, some resistance and some excitement.
The reason for his resistance is that others used to call him a rookie, but now he is qualified to call others rookies. That's right, he has a new partner and has become the other party's training officer. This feeling... is really cool.
"Sir, what do you mean?"
“You didn’t lock your car.”
"But we were both right next to the police car..."
John said, "According to the police station's regulations, after two police officers get off the car at the same time, the driver must lock the police car in time to prevent any accidents."
"I remember that." The Mexican police officer locked the car door.
Seeing the other person’s indifferent look, John said, “Juan, I’m not deliberately finding fault, but this is very important.
Previously, a police officer I knew forgot to lock his car door while on duty, and the suspect took the opportunity to drive away the police car and hit a passerby.
The police department paid a large amount of compensation and the police officer was suspended.
The most important thing is that this kind of low-level mistake is very embarrassing, understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Juan's attitude became more serious.
"Great." Johnson smiled and asked, "Would you like some coffee?"
Juan shook his head, "No, thank you."
"But...I want to drink."
Juan then reacted, "Oh, yeah, I'll go get it, do you want some sugar?"
"Just add it normally." John looked at the figure and curled his lips, "What a... not very smart boy."
After a while, Juan came out with two cups of coffee and handed one to John, "Sir, this is yours."
"Thank you." John sat on the plastic chair in front of the store, took a sip of coffee and said, "You know? When I first came to the police station, in order to learn more and get a higher evaluation, I often helped the training officer queue up to buy food.
It’s quite interesting to think about it now.”
Juan asked, "Did it work?"
John shrugged, "At least it can't hurt."
"Sir, how old were you when you started being a police officer?"
John put down his coffee cup and asked, "Are you trying to say that I'm very old?"
"No, I'm just curious...why do you suddenly want to be a policeman?"
“You are not the only one who is curious, many people will be curious, I used to be a construction contractor, my business was not very big and it was not very good.
One time, I went to the bank to do business and happened to encounter a group of gangsters robbing the bank.
One of the gangsters pushed a pregnant woman down. I stood up to protect her and the gangster pointed a gun at my head...
That was the closest I've ever been to death...
Later, I thought about becoming a policeman.”
Juan nodded, "Sir, I can see that you are a man with a strong sense of justice."
“Rookie, you still have a lot to learn.
Work hard, I’ve also been through this before…” John said as someone who has experienced this.
Juan yawned and asked, "Sir, can you tell me some tips on staying up late? Forget about drinking coffee, it doesn't work for me."
John laughed, "You drank too much.
Actually, I was not used to working night shifts at first. The feeling of reversing day and night was very uncomfortable.
At this time, we should relax our minds. In fact, the night in Los Angeles is also very beautiful. Without the hustle and bustle of the day, it is like a sleeping beauty..."
As he spoke, a black Honda sedan suddenly drove past from the front.
John stood up from his chair, “There is a speed limit on this street, and that car was obviously speeding.
Time to get to work, rookie."
"Yes, sir." Juan put down his coffee, pressed the car unlock button, and trotted to the driver's seat.
"No, you go to the passenger seat, I'll drive." John got into the driver's seat, started the car, and rushed out with his foot on the accelerator.
Turn on the police lights and sound the siren to signal the car in front to stop.
The black Honda sedan did not stop, but drove faster.
"I bet there's something wrong with the car in front." John said firmly.
Juan picked up the walkie-talkie and called the main station for support.
Suddenly, the Dongfeng Honda in front turned right sharply and drove into the alley on the right. The alley was very narrow and could only accommodate one car.
The Dongfeng Honda drove some distance into the alley and then stopped. A figure pushed open the door of the cab and ran into the shadow of the alley.
John ran out of the car, raised his pistol and pointed it at the fleeing figure, "lapd, don't move!"
However, the figure did not stop, but turned into the alley on the right.
John was worried that there might be other accomplices in the car, so he held a flashlight in his left hand and a gun in his right hand and first checked the black Honda car in front of him, but found no one else in the car.
Juan said nervously, "The driver ran away. Should we chase him?"
John glanced at the dark alley and shook his head. "Let's call for backup. It's hard for the two of us to find each other."
"Okay." Juan returned to the police car, called for support, and reported his location.
John opened the car door and searched the black Honda. The driver abandoned the car and ran away without hesitation, which showed that there must be something wrong with the other party.
John sniffed and smelled a faint smell of blood. He shone the flashlight towards the back seat of the car, but saw no blood or any prohibited items.
He opened the trunk switch, walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk lid, and a strong smell of blood rushed into his nose. A white man was lying in the trunk...
April 1st morning.
Robbery-homicide division office.
Everyone had just returned from vacation and was still feeling a bit festive and excited.
Blackie asked, "How was your Christmas, guys?"
The deputy captain said, "I went to the small town of Witos. The environment of that town is very beautiful and has a Christmas atmosphere. It is an unforgettable holiday."
Jenny said, "I've heard of that town. I heard that many couples go there for vacation. It's very romantic."
Xiao Hei laughed, "Wow, Deputy Captain, which ex-wife did you go with? I didn't expect you still have a romantic heart."
"It's not any ex-wife, it's a lady I just met last year. She is very elegant and loving, and we have many common interests."
Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, "You have a new girlfriend?"
The deputy captain spread his hands, "Any questions?"
Xiao Hei pouted, "Before, you always said that I was a playboy. Now you know who the real playboy is."
The deputy captain said, “I am different from you. You were irresponsible and reckless at that time.
But I am different, I am serious about every lady, I will be responsible and I will marry them. "
Xiao Hei said nonchalantly, "This is why you still have to work now."
The deputy captain hummed, "I'd love to."
Jackson was a little curious, "Deputy Captain, will you get married again?"
The deputy captain asked back, “Why not?”
Raymond, who usually keeps quiet, couldn't help but say, "You are a true warrior!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with complicated eyes, the deputy captain was a little embarrassed and said, "Luke, why hasn't he come today?" Without waiting for others to answer, he continued, "If I'm not mistaken, he is probably late again."
……
Outside the deputy director's office.
"Knock knock..." Luke knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
Luke pushed the door open and walked in. He not only saw Red with a serious face, but also David with a sad face.
Luke raised an eyebrow, "David, why are you here too?"
David looked at Red with a sullen face and did not answer.
"I see." Luke seemed to have guessed something and said, "Chief, has David gotten into trouble?
If he wants to return to the Robbery and Murder Division, we in First Squadron would welcome him at any time."
"It's not David's business." Reid still looked serious and pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down and talk."
Luke sensed that the situation was a bit serious and asked, "What happened?"
Red sighed, "Jones is dead."
Luke was stunned for a moment before responding, "Captain Jones?"
Reid said, "Yes, the identity has been confirmed. Jones was killed last night."
The office was silent for a moment, and Luke asked, "How did Captain Jones die?"
“Last night, patrol officers stopped a speeding car, the driver abandoned the vehicle and the patrol officers found Jones’ body in the trunk.
Jones was identified this morning.”
Luke looked at David, then at Red, "You want Squadron One to investigate this case?"
Red nodded and said firmly, "The murderer who killed Jones must be caught. The entire detective bureau, no, the entire Los Angeles Police Department will cooperate with your action."
“I understand that Jones is not only my colleague, but also my friend.
We will definitely catch the murderer." Luke agreed immediately. It was his duty in this situation.
David said, "Our anti-gang and anti-drug department will also participate in the investigation."
Red didn't answer immediately, but looked at Luke, "What do you think?"
"Yes, but you can't act recklessly. All actions must be under my command."
Jones is the captain of the Anti-Crime and Anti-Drug Division. Even if Luke disagrees with their participation in the investigation, they may investigate privately.
Rather than letting them mess around, it’s better to agree to an investigation.
"No problem." David believed in Luke's ability to investigate the case and was not opposed to it.
Red was also worried that the anti-gang and anti-drug officers would mess around. Now that Luke was watching, he felt relieved and said,
“Jones is our colleague and our partner.
Whoever killed him was provoking the entire LAPD.
Jones's death must be answered.
No matter what the cost, the murderer must be brought to justice."
"Yes, sir!"
