Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 362 surfaced

  Robbery and murder department interrogation room.

  A seventeen or eighteen-year-old Latino man was handcuffed on an interrogation chair. His face was numb, and no expression could be seen.

   "Crackling..." There was a knock on the door.

  Luke walked into the interrogation room and put a stack of documents on the table, "I didn't expect that we would meet here, how do you feel?"

   "To me it's no different than a Jiu-Jitsu club."

  Luke asked back, "Are you having a bad time at the jiu-jitsu club?"

  Christian didn't answer.

   "OK, the reminiscence is over, let's talk about something valuable." Luke changed the subject, "What's your full name?"

   "Christian Soddy."

   "You know, that's not what I asked."

   "Carlos Sodi."

   "You are Kuka Saldana's upline?"

"Yes."

   "What organization do you belong to?"

   "We don't belong to any organization."

   "But Kuka said that you belong to an organization called Posta."

   Carlos Sodi smiled, "Impossible, Kuka would never say that."

  "Don't be so confident, many suspects are very stubborn before being arrested, but they have another face after being arrested.

  If Kuka hadn't identified you, we wouldn't have doubted you. "

   Carlos Sodi shook his head, "You don't have to lie to me, Kuka would never dare to betray me.

   So I'm curious, how did you find out that I have a problem. "

  Luke said firmly, "Kuka said it.

  He is not as trustworthy as he thought. "

  Luke's attitude made Carlos Sodi a little shaken, and he didn't say anything more.

  Luke continued, "It was you who sent a message this morning to ask Kuka to come to the hospital?"

"Yes."

"do what?"

  Carlos Sodi thought for a while and replied, "At that time, there were police guards outside our ward, and they were in groups of two, and they were very vigilant.

   Moreover, I was not sure if there were other policemen in the dark, so I called Kuka to assist me in escaping the hospital. Natasha was murdered, and I worried that I was about to be exposed. "

  Luke asked, "In the afternoon, we changed the ward for you. Why didn't you email Kuka at that time? Tell him about it, but let him go to Ward 509 to throw himself into the net."

  "When you proposed to change the ward for me, I felt that something was wrong.

  I did think about sending an email to Kuka, but considering the risks involved, I gave up. "

  Luke asked with great interest, "What risk?"

   Carlos Sodi replied, "I sent an email to Kuka in the morning, asking him to come to Ward 509.

  You guys changed my ward in the afternoon. The first thing I thought of was that Kuka had been arrested. After you found the email, you suspected that there was an undercover agent in the hospital. Changing my ward was itself a trap.

   If I send another email, you will most likely identify me.

  The second point, even if Kuka was not arrested at the time, but was arrested afterwards, you will still doubt my identity through two precise emails.

  So, I didn’t notify Kuka. Even if Kuka was arrested, he wouldn’t confess me, and you wouldn’t suspect me.

  When you catch Kuka, you will relax your vigilance, and it will be easier for me to escape from the hospital. "

   Luke said, "You are quite cold-blooded."

   "If I didn't, I would have died long ago, and I wouldn't even have the chance to come to Los Angeles.

   To be honest, I quite like this city. "

  Luke tentatively asked, "Then do you like Natasha?"

   "Huh..." Carlos Sodi sighed softly, "I don't know how to answer you.

   She was a nice person and treated me very well.

  But...she had no idea how terrifying her opponent was. "

   "Are you her opponent?"

   "I guess."

   "Did you kill her?"

   "No, her death has nothing to do with me.

   What I have to do to kill her is why I made such a big commotion, and injured myself and trapped me in the hospital.

  A fool would do this. "Speaking of this, Carlos Sodi had a complicated look on his face, "Actually, I'm also struggling, what if I have to kill Natasha one day?"

  I may not be able to do it.

   But I have to.

  It’s all right now, I don’t have to worry anymore, everyone is relieved. "

  Luke pressed, "You think that's a relief?"

   "Yes, both me and Natasha are very tired."

   "That doesn't sound like something a young man would say."

"This is true."

   "Did you ever have someone stop a police car?"

"No."

   "Have you sent someone to steal at Natasha's house?"

   "Do I need it?"

   "Why did you kidnap Pari Jones?"

   "She is also investigating smuggling. Recently, I have often seen Natasha. I don't know how much information she has. I am just eliminating danger."

   "Avoid danger for whom?"

   "I only confess my crimes, and I don't know anything else."

   "Do you think this confession can convince the police and the prosecution?"

   "That's your business."

   "It's hard to get a favorable plea deal if you have that attitude."

   "Captain Li, this is already my best attitude, I will tell you everything I can say."

   "Is that organization that scary?"

   "It's scarier than you thought?"

  Luke laughed, "Nothing really scares me in Los Angeles? I haven't heard of how powerful a criminal organization is in Los Angeles."

   "You're right, but what if it's not in Los Angeles?

  You are not afraid, I am. "

   Luke took the next best thing, "If you don't want to talk about the organization, let's talk about your upline.

what is his name? "

   "I don't know his name."

   "How to contact?"

   "Usually contact each other in person, but it has been a long time since I have contacted."

   "Listen, if you want to get a favorable plea deal, tell me something of value.

   No matter how horrible the organization behind you is.

  This is Los Angeles, they don't count. "

  Carlos Sodi thought for a while and said, "Gonside, Natasha is investigating this organization recently, and her death is likely related to this organization."

  Luke wrote down the words 'Gonside' and continued, "Why did you stay by Natasha's side?

  If it is to kill her, there is no need to be so troublesome. "

   Carlos Sodi shrugged, "I like it."

   "This reason does not convince me."

  Luke leaned on the chair feeling a little depressed. He hated the interrogation of these gang members. These people put gang rules more important than the law, and the interrogation was like scratching the itch.

   "Boom..."

   At this moment, the door outside the office rang.

  Jenny pushed the door and walked in, whispering to Luke, "Captain, the FBI people are here, and they are going to take Carlos Sodi away."

   Luke said to Jenny, "Repeat what you just said, louder."

   Jenny understood what Luke meant, and said to Carlos Soddy, "The people from the FBI are here, and they want to take you away."

  Carlos Sodi's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Are you scaring me?"

   "Am I scaring you, you should be very clear in your heart.

  Give you five minutes to think about it, and I will stop those people.

  Five minutes later, if you still don't cooperate with the investigation, then I can't keep you. "Luke finished and left the interrogation room.

  In the corridor stood a white woman in a suit, with short hair and an FBI badge pinned to her body, "You are Captain Li, right? I didn't expect you to be more handsome than on TV."

   Luke smiled, "I like your hairstyle, it's eye-catching.

what is your name?"

   "FBI agent Alfie Imma is mainly responsible for cases related to smuggling and smuggling."

   "Agent Imma, I heard that you want to take Carlos Sodi away?"

   "Yes, Natasha is my informant. She is a good person, we did not protect her well.

  I won't let her die inexplicably, I will investigate this matter clearly. "

  Luke said, "We are already investigating, and we have also caught several suspects, and the investigation of the case has made great progress.

  Your sudden request to take away one of the important suspects will hinder our police investigation. "

  Alfie Imma said, "Captain Li, I have heard about your deeds and know that you are very capable, but this case is different, it has exceeded the authority and capabilities of the Los Angeles Police."

   "Your FBI is going to take over the case?"

  "To be precise, it is mutual cooperation. The Los Angeles police have a home field advantage, but the FBI has a wider jurisdiction and more means.

  The suspect we are facing is not one or a few people, but one or even multiple close-knit criminal organizations.

  It is difficult to eradicate them completely by one or two departments alone. "

  Luke asked, "According to you, there are other departments that will join?"

   “We can also contact Immigration or Border Patrol if necessary.

  Since you have started to investigate the case, you must also know that Natasha's death is related to the smuggling organization.

  The scope of their activities is not limited to Los Angeles. No matter how powerful the Los Angeles police are, it is impossible to go to the border or Mexico to catch them.

   What do you think? "

  Luke understands that once he agrees, the case will be led by the FBI, and he doesn't want to lay hands on people.

  But as Alfie Imma said, it would be very difficult to investigate this case based on the authority of the Los Angeles police alone, and multi-departmental cooperation is more effective for cracking down on smuggling organizations.

   Taking a step back, let’s take the interrogation as an example.

  Whether it is Carlos Sodi or Kuka, they are half-covered, only talking about their own crimes, and refusing to mention the organization behind them.

  Luke has just taken over the case, and now he has too little information, and he has never dealt with them before, so it will be difficult to pry their mouths open for a while.

  The FBI is different. Judging from Elfi Imma's tone, she has been in charge of investigating cases related to smuggling. She should know the organization behind Carlos Sodi and have corresponding countermeasures.

   Moreover, the FBI has a larger scope of authority, and some departments can use ruthless work under special circumstances.

   These days, there are a lot of tough guys, and those who can handle hard work are the real tough guys.

   "Agent Imma, please wait a moment." Luke left the sentence, returned to the interrogation room again, and asked Carlos Sodi on the interrogation chair, "How are you thinking?"

   Carlos Sodi looked at Luke, "I've already told you what I know."

   "I want to know more than that, which organization do you belong to?"

   Carlos Sodi shook his head.

   Luke continued to ask, "Why are you lurking beside Natasha?"

   Carlos Sodi still didn't answer.

   "Carlos Sodi, I gave you a chance." Luke took the documents and walked out of the interrogation room, and asked Alfie Emma, ​​"Are you sure you can pry his mouth open?"

   "Of course." Alfie Imma said firmly.

"how long?"

  Elfie Imma glanced at his watch, "It's ten o'clock in the evening, and before ten o'clock tomorrow morning, you will see the complete interrogation record."

  Luke stretched out his hand, "Happy cooperation."

  …

  After leaving the police station, Luke was going to have a supper.

  I have been busy with the case today, and I simply ate a hamburger at noon, and I was already hungry.

   In the blink of an eye, it has entered December, and there is already a bit of pre-Christmas atmosphere on the street.

In the past, Luke seldom spent Christmas, that is, to express his affection when chasing his girlfriend. Young women like romance. Under the deliberate publicity of the merchants, many girls like to celebrate foreign festivals. If you don’t give gifts to others, then It means you don't care.

  This year is different, Luke is in Los Angeles, the atmosphere of the festival is different, and the meaning is different.

  Luke chose a barbecue restaurant, ordered some skewers, a glass of beer, and watched TV while eating supper.

   There are two TVs in the store, one TV is broadcasting the football game, and the other TV is broadcasting the news.

  Many of the guests at the scene were fans, and Luke watched it for a while. He didn't know many stars, and he wasn't particularly interested.

  The news on another TV attracted him instead.

   "Good evening, I'm Mary, a news reporter from bse TV station, and I'm going to report the latest developments in the case of rugby superstar Danny Carter's strong fans.

  After several days of investigation, the police obtained some new clues, because the female victim's statement did not match some evidence.

  The police withdrew the charges against Danny Carter due to insufficient evidence.

   Danny. Carter was acquitted. "

  Luke smiled, "Finally, there is good news. Now that Danny Carter has been withdrawn, he has also received his commission."

  …

  Nine o'clock in the morning of the next day.

   Robbery Murder Division Office.

  The door of the captain's office opened, and Luke walked out of the office with a cup of coffee, "Guys, stop for a while, we have an early meeting.

  Jenny, any news from the FBI? "

   "No."

   "It seems that their efficiency is not as fast as expected." Luke took a sip of coffee and asked Marcus on the side,

   "How is Pari Jones doing?"

  Xiao Hei sighed, "Those **** attacked fiercely, Pari Jones' condition is not very good, she was sent to the hospital for treatment.

   On the way to the hospital, I took notes for her.

  According to her, Natasha and she have been investigating smuggling organizations. These smuggling organizations are very extreme. Smuggling is only on the surface, and they are engaged in various criminal activities in private.

   Among them, there are two relatively large smuggling organizations, one is Posta and the other is Gunside.

  Among them, Pari Jones is currently collecting news from the Posta organization.

   While Natasha is investigating the Gunsard organization, the two sometimes exchange information. "

  The names of these two organizations are no strangers to Luke, and the information obtained from Pali Jones' house is about the "Posta" organization.

  As for Gunsard, Carlos Sodi provided the information last night. According to Carlos Sodi, Natasha was probably killed by the Gangsede organization.

  Luke continued to ask, "Is there any news about the courier and the group who intercepted the police car?"

  Jackson said, "Their whereabouts have not been found yet.

  However, we reconfirmed the identity of the courier, he is indeed an employee of the UPS express company.

  As to why he dropped the bomb is unclear. "

  Luke was silent for a moment, and analyzed, "From the current situation, it is likely that two organizations were involved in this incident.

  One is Posta.

  One is Gonside.

   Among them, the Gunside organization used the courier to drop a bomb, killing Natasha, and then triggering a series of chain reactions.

  After Natasha's death, the Gunsard organization sent someone to rob her house and took away information about the organization.

  After that, the police found the courier's trail, and Gunsard sent someone to intercept the police car again, and a firefight broke out.

As for Carlos Sodi, he should be a member of the Posta organization. He has been lurking by Natasha's side. After learning of Natasha's death, he was worried that things might become a big problem, so he asked Kuka to kidnap Pari Jones. She destroyed the investigation materials about the Posta organization in her hands.

  Pari Jones asked me to meet before she was kidnapped.

  For self-help, she told the suspect that the information was in my hands, and then I exchanged fire with the two suspects and arrested two members of the Posta organization.

  Afterwards, he waited to catch Kuka and discovered Carlos Sodi's true identity. "

  Luke straightened out the clues of the case, and the truth about Natasha's murder also surfaced.
