Los Angeles Detective Chapter 149

  Chapter 149 Lies (additional 2021)

  Seeing Luke walking out of another apartment with Pike in his arms, Anthony's nose was crooked.

   "Dude, can we discuss this?"

   "No, there is no need to discuss." Luke directly pushed Parker into the car.

  Anthony said, "He killed an FBI agent."

  Pike yells at the window, "I don't!"

  Anthony whispered, "Luke, hand him over to me, and I owe you a favor."

   "Sounds good, but I'm a lapd and I have my responsibilities."

  Anthony pinched his forehead and made the next best thing, "I want to join the investigation of the case."

   Luke said, "The investigation should be based on the police department."

"no problem."

   "I want your FBI to hide the clues."

"make a deal."

   Police Detective Agency.

   Robbery and Murder Division Conference Room.

  Rett, Susan, Anthony, Luke and others walked into the conference room one after another.

  Red laughed, "Luke, I heard that you and Marcus captured the boss of the Skeleton Gang. It's a good job."

   Luke shrugged, "Just luck."

  Anthony's face was a little ugly, "Oh, is this the commendation meeting? Did I come to the wrong place?"

  The deputy team laughed, "Luke is Rhett's confidant, this is just an appetizer for the meeting, just get used to it."

  Anthony sighed, "He has indeed done a good job, a promising young man, I admire him very much."

  Xiao Hei couldn't stand it anymore, "comeon, it's as if you're giving us the credit. If we didn't catch Pike, he might have run away."

  Anthony glanced at Xiao Hei, and said unhappily, "Oh, I almost forgot if you didn't speak, you were also there."

  Xiao Hei "..."

  Red pointed to his watch, "Guys, I have a PUC meeting later, we have to hurry up.

  Anthony, tell me about the clues your FBI found. Don't hold back any more this time, or you won't be able to participate in Pike's interrogation, understand? "

  Anthony touched his chin, "Agent Fanny did find some other problems during the school investigation, she is an excellent former marine, and she is not willing to deal with only a group of brats.

   So she wanted to dig deeper into what she found. "

  Red pressed, "What's the problem?"

Anthony said, "She found out that someone was selling drugs on campus. After a period of follow-up investigation, she got a definite clue. The person who sold drugs was Kyle Torres, a student from Malaboa High School, who was also involved in the shooting. last victim.

  He died on the roof of the Science Building. "

   Luke asked, "What does this have to do with Pike from the Skull Gang?"

  Anthony said, "Malaboa High School belongs to the Skeleton Gang. We checked the situation of the deceased Kyle Torres. He has close contacts with the Skeleton Gang and should belong to the gang's peripheral members.

   Kyle Torres' unique product is also likely to come from the Skeleton Gang.

  We guess that Fanny may have found some important clues, and the Skeleton Gang will kill her and Kyle Torres together, and the school shooting is just a cover.

   So we decided to do something with the skeletons. "

  Luke asked, "Have you found out the exact identity of the shooter?"

   "Not yet." Anthony responded, and asked, "What did you find out?"

  Luke thought for a while, "When we were investigating the shooting at the Music Building, we found that the members of the Skeleton Gang had contact with the suspect of the shooting, so we are going to the Skeleton Gang to find out the situation."

  Anthony said, "That's right. The clues in both cases point to the Skeleton Gang. They were definitely involved in the shooting."

  Red asked, "Luke, what do you think?"

  Luke thought for a while, "I don't know much about the victims in the Science Building, so I can't judge.

  But the shooting in the Music Building is likely to have something to do with the Skeleton Gang. "

  Rett thought for a while and said, "OK, let's use the shooting in the music building as a breakthrough and pry Parker's mouth open first."

   Half an hour later.

  The First Interrogation Room of the Robbery and Murder Division.

  Pike was handcuffed on the interrogation chair, and his eyes scanned the surroundings of the interrogation room.

   "Crackling..." The door opened.

  Luke and Xiao Hei walked into the interrogation room.

  Pike pointed to the wall in front of him, "There should be someone looking at me, do you need to say hello?"

  Luke said lightly, "Up to you."

   "Do you know? I really feel wronged. This matter has nothing to do with me. You have checked the wrong direction. I am innocent."

Luke stared at him for a while, pointing behind him, "The FBI is right behind, if I hadn't stopped them, they would have taken you away long ago. Stop telling such meaningless lies, and stop lowering my treatment of you Impression points, OK?"

   "Inspector Luke, I respect you, but the shooting really has nothing to do with me, I will not do that kind of stupid thing.

  I don't want to mess with the FBI bastards... guys, I just want to do business honestly. "

  Luke shook his finger, "Stop saying these meaningless words, I ask, you answer, if you dare to lie, let the FBI take you away."

  Pike sighed, "This reminds me of when I was a child, my mother often likes to scare me, if you are not obedient, the police will arrest you.

  As a result, when I grew up, I really became a frequent visitor to the police station, isn't it ironic. "

"This shows that lapd treats you well. If you change to the FBI, you will not be a regular customer, but a permanent resident." Luke changed the subject, "The first question, why did you send someone to Theodore? Remember what I just said If so, don't lie."

   "Inspector Luke, I want an immunity agreement."

   "Then you have to describe the case first to see if it meets the conditions for immunity."

   "OK, then I will make a hypothetical statement. If a consensus cannot be reached, I will not admit it. In addition, you may also get some inspiration from it. You are so smart, you may solve the case directly."

  Luke made a please gesture.

   "You should know that Los Angeles is divided into classes. Poor children belong to the bottom, and poor and black children are at the bottom. Most black children find it difficult to achieve class leap through education and hard work.

  Only a very small number of lucky ones can achieve a class leap by becoming singers, actors, and sports stars. This is not easy, and it is easy to be jealous of the surrounding black children.

  It is not easy to grow smoothly, it needs protection and investment.

  Although I am not a good person, I will do some good things within my ability.

For example, providing protection to some talented black children does not require too many substantive things. Just tell the outside world that they are covered by me, and no one dares to mess around in this area, and they will not be affected by other black children. If you are excluded, you can grow up smoothly.

  If these talented children have a conscience, they will also give me some appropriate rewards, such as asking me to act as a bodyguard or agent, and I can also get a lot of rewards.

After receiving my support, these children will also gain some hidden benefits. For example, there will be some people around them who take the initiative to seek refuge and become their partners, attendants, younger brothers, whatever you call them, in short, this is the kind .

Relatively speaking, these attendants have a closer relationship with the stars. The stars will take care of food, housing, eating, drinking, entertainment and other consumption, and even take care of their families. Their safety, even to blame. "

  Luke said, "Holip is the star, Theodore is the follower, and you are the boss who protects them?"

  Pike shrugged, "Hypothetical statement?"

  Luke wrote in his notebook, "Of course, you continue."

  "Holip is a talented kid with excellent physical fitness, he is very strong, I am very optimistic about him, and I am willing to provide him with protection.

  Originally everything was fine, but Hollip's **** heroism went wrong again. He always fantasized about being the savior and being worshiped by others.

   On the afternoon of May 10th, Hollip called me to say that there was a shooting at the school and he accidentally injured a student.

  I told him not to call me, but to call his valet.

   But the problem is that Hollip is not a real sports star yet, nor does he have strong financial resources, all he has is a promise.

  Promises can be worth a thousand dollars or nothing.

   A person with status and status needs to give a certain guarantee, so that the promise will have a certain effect.

  The person with status talked with the follower, determined the rights and obligations between the star and the follower, and guaranteed each other's promises.

  Whoever breaks the promise will pay a certain price.

   That's how it works. "

  Luke turned his head and glanced at Xiao Hei, he knew more about the rules of the black ghetto.

  Xiao Hei nodded slightly.

  Luke turned the pages of his notebook and continued to ask, "Where's Kyle Torres?"

   "I have an impression of this name, what's wrong with him?"

"died."

  Pike closed his eyes and thought for a while, "So, it was the death of this **** that made the FBI suspect that I was involved in the shooting."

   "Yes, tell me about his situation."

   "Kyle Torres does have a certain connection with the Skeleton Gang, but the connection is not very close. He is at most a peripheral member. His death has nothing to do with me."

   "Then why do you think he was killed?"

   "Maybe it was bad luck, or it might have offended someone, I don't know very well."

  "If you don't explain well, the FBI will still take you away. They won't be as 'gentle' as me."

  Pike sighed, "I want an immunity agreement."

   "Say your hypothetical statement." Luke suddenly liked the laws of California a little bit. It is very convenient to talk to smart suspects, and everyone can make deals openly.

  Pike snapped his nails and said, "I heard... this kid is secretly selling drugs. The Skeleton Gang doesn't deal with drugs. I hate drugs, and I won't let my family touch them.

  But I can't control everyone. If there is demand, there will be a market. If I don't do it, other people will do it. Rather than letting those gangs who have a bad relationship with us take advantage of it, it is better to hand it over to those gangs who understand the rules. "Pike rubbed his fingers, showing an expression you understand.

   "Kyle wants to get goods from the gang that sells unique products, but if he has too much capital, he needs someone to help him as a guarantee. This area is under the management of the skeleton, so he asks the skeleton for help.

  Under the guarantee of the Skeleton Gang, he successfully got the goods, but there was a problem with the sales. He felt that he was being watched and dared not sell the goods.

  If you don't sell the goods, you will have no money, and he can't afford to pay for the goods.

  The supply gang will find the Skeleton Gang. If the Skeleton Gang doesn't care, they will solve it by themselves.

  We bought Kyle some time to raise money.

   Then within two days there was a shooting, that's all I know. "

   "What's the name of the supply gang?"

   "It hasn't reached the agreed repayment deadline, I don't think they killed Kyle."

   "I don't want you to think, I want the name of the gang."

   "The Cooley Gang."

  Luke wrote down in his notebook, is it possible that Cooley helped kill the FBI agent lurking in the school and made the shooting. "

   "I don't know, but I feel like it's unlikely.

   What I can assure you is that the death of the FBI agent has nothing to do with the Skull Gang. "

   "Can I take your word for it?

   "Of course, I'm a local gang, and I won't mess around. I respect the FBI, and I respect lapd even more." Parker's tone was very sincere. "

   "Anything else to add?"

   "Not yet."

   "Let's talk about this first, and you can find me again when you think of other clues."

   "Hey." Pike leaned forward, "Don't hand me over to the FBI, I owe you a favor."

   "As long as you are not lying, the police will not turn you over to the FBI, but they will talk to you."

   "OK, as long as you can stay in the police station." The bailiff took Pike out.

   Luke did not leave, but continued to interrogate Theodore.

  When Pike was taken away, Theodore was already waiting outside the interrogation room. The two of them looked at each other, and Theodore shivered in fright.

  Theodore was still a little flustered while being handcuffed on the interrogation chair.

  Luke asked lightly, "Do you know him?"

  Theodore was stunned and seemed not to know how to answer.

   "Pike has talked a lot about you. The reason why you don't want to talk about your whereabouts on the afternoon of May 10th is because you went to see Pike. Do you want me to continue talking?"

  Theodore was so frightened that he was already sweating, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, "Why was Boss Parker arrested?"

  Luke said, "Because of the shooting at Malaboa High School."

   "Is his crime serious? Will he go to jail?"

   "Let's see if he will cooperate with the police." Luke pointed.

  Pike, Hollip, and Theodore are like a triangle.

  Once Pike withdraws, the relationship between Hollip and Theodore will also become unstable.

   "Pike has made the relationship between you very clear, so, do you want to confess? Or continue?" Seeing that Theodore didn't answer, Luke continued,

   "If you refuse to say it, then we will go to Hollip. There is only one chance left to become a tainted witness. He should want it more than you."

   "I said, I said everything." Theodore made up his mind and let out a sigh of relief, "I didn't kill people, but Hollip."

   "Do you have evidence?"

   "Holip has always used that revolver. He has wanted a gun for a long time, but he is under the legal age to buy a gun, so he wants me to help him get one.

  I bought the gun from Triss brother and gave it to Hollip directly, and he always carried the gun in his bag. "

   "The investigation is based on the evidence, not what you say."

  “After the shooting incident, he contacted me with someone else's mobile phone and asked me to help him take the blame.

  In his words, I am not yet an adult, and the manslaughter sentence will not last long. When I come out, he will be a football star and will give me a lot of money.

  In the future we will have more money and women...I believe it. "

   "Where is the recording?"

   "In the hands of Triss.

  My mother is dead, and I have no one to trust but her. "

   "We will go to Triss to verify, I hope you will not lie this time."

   "No." Theodore breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, I have been hesitating whether to take the blame for Hollip.

   If I plead guilty, I will definitely go to jail.

  I don't want to lose Triss, which is probably a good thing for me.

   In a way, I also want to thank you. "

   After finishing the notes, Luke and the others didn't stop, and took them directly to Hollip's house.

   Raymond and Jenny go to meet Triss.

  Holip's house is not far from Theodore, and it is also a poor community.

  At this time, Hollip was teaching some younger brothers and sisters to practice rugby in the yard. His arm had not fully recovered and he could not do strenuous exercise.

   Several cars stopped at the door, Hollip stopped what he was doing.

   Luke and others got out of the car.

   Hollip froze.

  Luke looked at Hollip, then at the four children beside him, "Can Hollip talk?"

"What happened?"

  Luke said truthfully, "Pike and Theodore have already explained."

  Holip pursed his lips, with a look of remorse on his face, "Can I say goodbye to my brothers and sisters?"

"certainly."

  Holip squatted down, said goodbye to the four younger siblings one by one, and hugged them vigorously, and then got into the police car.

   "Officer Luke, how did you find me?"

  "The impact of the shooting is too great. Things are more complicated than you think, and you can't hide it."

   "This **** shooting, if it hadn't happened, Lev wouldn't have died, I wouldn't have been affected, none of this would have happened."

   "What happened that day? Why did you kill Lev?"

   "I never wanted to kill Lev, we just wanted to be heroes, we wanted to protect our classmates, and we wanted to stop the gunman from continuing to commit crimes.

  I took out my revolver and shot at the gunman, but my marksmanship was too bad to hit him at all.

   Lev was confident in his speed, and wanted to go around and attack the opponent, but... I accidentally injured him.

   None of this should have happened. "

   Luke sighed, "Holip, since it was an accidental injury, why didn't you tell the police, if you could tell the truth at that time, the crime would not be too serious."

"I know, but I can't go to jail, not even for a day." Hollip scratched his hair vigorously with both hands, "You should have seen the situation of my family, I am the hope of the whole family, no, it is the whole family, relatives and friends hope.

   If I pleaded guilty to murder, even manslaughter, I can't continue playing football.

  My family needs money and I need to become a football star, so as to change the plight of the whole family. "

  Xiao Hei said, "Dude, I can understand you, but your deception still disappoints me."

   "Sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you, except what I just said, the rest is true."

  Luke said, "In other words, the two gunmen in the music building were shooting at each other, not accomplices. Then why didn't student council member Herman Wade expose you?"

  Holip disdainfully said, "He's just a coward, he's been hiding for a long time, and he doesn't know anything.

  If it wasn't for saving him, none of this would have happened. "
