Chapter 69 None are good people

The suspect was high from smoking and was lying there daydreaming.

After Luke kicked the door open, he was still lying on the sofa with a vague expression.

Seeing this, Luke stepped forward and handcuffed him.

This guy didn't struggle at all.

The house had no backyard, so Luke used his Insight to look underground.

I breathed a sigh of relief, it was good news that nothing was discovered.

So Luke contacted Harris and reported the situation.

Harris said on the phone:

"I see. Please wait a moment. I will contact the DEA (US Drug Enforcement Administration) to hand over to you."

Luke waited for ten minutes and the patrolman arrived first.

After showing my ID, the DEA people also came.

There were three of them in total, led by a fierce-looking bald man named Hank Schrader.

After a brief handover with them, Schrader gave them Luke's contact information.

This guy probably saw that Luke was extraordinary and wanted to develop some personal connections.

Luke didn't think it was wrong.

After all, the DEA's law enforcement capabilities within the federal government are very weak.

When it comes to meth, the DEA and the FBI have the same jurisdiction.

But the DEA is mostly responsible for tracing sources and related information, while major arrest operations still have to rely on local police and the FBI.

Their forces are mainly concentrated in big cities, and they do not have elite forces like SWAT.

Therefore, they are very willing to establish good relations with the FBI and local police. After all, if something really big happens, they have to rely on them.

The same thing goes for the ATF, which has even fewer people than the DEA.

In some towns outside big cities, people can only rely on the FBI, and even the local police cannot be trusted.

Among domestic law enforcement agencies, apart from the police in big cities, only the FBI has a special team targeting criminals with heavy firepower, and the next is the military.

So, except for the fact that local police don't like it very much, the FBI is still unique among other law enforcement agencies.

The IRS gets a lot of praise, but it also has the same problem, they don't have a team that specializes in dealing with heavy firepower.

Even though they carry guns when collecting taxes, that is only a rare phenomenon and there are very few fights over tax issues.

In addition, the IRS is famous for being ruthless in collecting taxes, and tax collectors carrying guns is also a characteristic of the United States.

Because this is a country where guns are not banned, fully automatic firearms can still be purchased in many states.

Apart from the FBI, most other law enforcement agencies are investigating rather than arresting.

But the FBI has a lot of people, and in terms of law enforcement power, they have the right to handle anything that violates the US Constitution.

Certain crimes of a special nature, such as counter-terrorism, drug/organized crime, foreign counterintelligence, violent crime and white-collar crime, receive the highest priority.

Some cases of special concern will also be approved by the Ministry of Justice as the highest priority for execution, and other units will have to stand aside.

That's why Luke finally considered choosing FBI agent as his next life goal.

Because of killing criminals and maintaining order, Luke's skills can improve at this stage and he can also gain order points.

After a brief chat with Supervisor Schrader, Luke left and rushed to the address of the next suspect.

After arriving at the place, Luke did not find the suspect, but through the Eye of Insight, Luke discovered that there were many little girls' toys and clothes in this guy's house.

Outside the house, Luke observed for a week and did not find any hidden basement or other place where people could be imprisoned.

So Luke called Harris immediately.

"Harris, I'm now at the home of suspect No. 2. He doesn't seem to be here. Can you check his approximate location and movements?"

A little later, Harris called.

"Luke, I found out that this guy has booked a room at a motel on XX Street today. I'll send you the address."

"Okay, I'll rush there as soon as possible."

After seeing the message from Harris, Luke hurried to the hotel.

This is a motel, only one floor, but with a large parking lot.

This is a feature of most motels, which are the American equivalent of express hotels in China.

After Luke parked his car in the parking lot, he looked around.

Suddenly Luke spotted the suspect, who was walking towards the motel from a distance, holding a bulging black plastic bag in his hand.

Luke thought about it, took out his sunglasses and cowboy hat and put them on, then got out of the car and walked towards the hotel.

Because the hotel rooms are all on the first floor, the rooms are next to each other.

Harris had already told Luke the room number the suspect had booked, so Luke walked over there as instructed.

He deliberately controlled the frequency of his steps, and finally passed the suspect just at the door of the room he had booked.

As the two men gradually approached, Luke could already clearly see his subtle expressions.

It was obvious that the suspect was in a good mood and could no longer hide his inner joy.

Approaching the room, Luke turned on his Eye of Insight and observed the interior of the room.

The result made Luke stunned.

There was a police officer in each of the room the suspect booked and the two rooms on the left and right.

Just as the suspect arrived at the door of the room, the police officer opened it.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and in that moment, the suspect reached into his arms.

Luke was now behind the suspect, and the police officers probably just wanted to go up and question him. The leader was a female police officer, so they were not alert.

Seeing the suspect quickly pull out a pistol from his arms, Luke quickly stepped forward, grabbed his arm and lifted it up.

Bang! The gun in the suspect's hand went off, and the first female police officer who came out of the room screamed and fell backwards.

The other two officers drew their pistols, but by then Luke had subdued the robber.

The female officer was not shot, but was just frightened.

Seeing Luke handcuff the suspect, the officers put their guns away.

Luke stood up and took out his ID, which made the police officers let down their guard.

So the two sides exchanged information.

It turned out that these police officers received a report that someone was making an appointment with their daughter online.

Generally speaking, it is normal for young people to do this, but the daughter of the person who called the police was only 11 years old.

So the police arranged the arrest.

But I didn’t expect the suspect to be armed and pull out a gun without even saying a word.

After thanking Luke, they learned that he was investigating the case of Shirley's disappearance and were all willing to help him.

Unfortunately, Luke already has his next target.

But before leaving, Luke saw what was in the suspect's bag.

It was a stuffed teddy bear and a whole bunch of bondage gear and video games and stuff.

This made everyone present very angry. They couldn't imagine what would happen if an 11-year-old girl fell into his hands.

After reporting to Harris again, there was only one suspect left.

After greeting the LAPD officers, Luke prepared to leave.

But the policewoman he rescued secretly slipped Luke a business card.

Zoe Anderson, still a trainee police officer...

Luke took the business card and left in a hurry.
