Chapter 701
After shooting Steve Chen, Locke turned his head and looked at the intersection. There were three pedestrians walking by the intersection. They were attracted by the gunshot and looked over. They all stared at him in horror. Locke’s face was full of vigilance. After seeing that there was no threat, he immediately put down the gun and showed the police badge on his waist. He shouted loudly: “LAPD, call 911!” After that, he ignored the reactions of the three people and reached into the Ferrari 812 through the lowered window, seeming to be very concerned about the condition of the people in the car. This is the normal procedure of the LAPD. After firing, it is necessary to immediately check the condition of the person shot, report the situation in time and call an ambulance. As soon as Locke’s hand reached into the car, he immediately put on a powder-free nitrile glove, and then a Colt M2000 appeared. He put the gun into Steve Chen’s hand, held his hand, and pinched it several times, leaving enough fingerprints. The whole process was smooth, very skillful, very steady, without the slightest panic, and the whole process did not exceed four seconds. After doing this, Locke put his hand on Steve Chen’s neck. The gloves on his hand had disappeared. He needed to leave his fingerprints on Steve Chen’s neck.
Steve Chen was naturally dead and could not die any more.
Staring at Steve Chen’s body, Locke’s face was cold. This guy probably never thought that he would kill him.
He suddenly stiffened. He noticed the gaze behind him, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
But Locke relaxed in an instant. This gaze only appeared now. He only saw that he was checking Steve Chen’s condition and happened to be a witness.
Locke stood up with a solemn expression. He put the Glock G18 in his hand into the holster and took out his mobile phone to call Madeline Hill.
Madeline Hill asked, “How is it? Did you find anything?”
Locke replied in a low voice, “Steve Chen has been found, but he had a gun in his hand and I shot him dead…”
“…”
Madeline Hilton paused and asked, “Where are you now?”
Locke replied, “West Third Street, you can see my car when you come over!”
He reminded again, “Report the situation, I have to guard the scene and can’t go back to the car…”
After hanging up the phone, he stared at the Colt M2000 in Steve Chen’s hand, the gun’s safety was already on.
This gun was bought from Feng Jie, a gun dealer in San Gabriel Valley. It was a brand new black gun with no records.
Locke was not sure whether the forensic department could find out that this gun came from a workshop in San Gabriel Valley.
But Steve Chen happened to be Chinese, and it was reasonable for him to buy a black gun from a Chinese gang.
There were other black guns in his space, but most of those guns came from the Copernicus organization and were not suitable for framing. It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to go to Feng Jie to replenish the stock.
Locke suddenly thought of something, opened WhatsApp, and sent a message.
“I’m on a mission with David today! This guy looks pretty good!”
After sending the message, he remembered that Thaddeus Martin was still waiting on West 6th Street, so he called him again.
…
Twenty minutes later, the scene was blocked by patrol officers who came one after another.
This place belongs to the jurisdiction of the Wilshire Police Department, so those who came are Locke’s former colleagues. Just now, two patrol cars arrived earlier than Madeline Hill.
Next to the Ferrari 812, Madeline Hill looked at Steve Chen in the car and said coldly: “You really guessed it. This guy is hiding in such a hidden place!”
Locke has reported the process just now to Madeline Hill. He found a suspicious red vehicle, so he got out of the car to check.
Then he found Steve Chen in the car. This guy pretended to cooperate, but he was holding a Colt M2000 in his hand, so he took the lead in shooting.
Madeline Hill frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: “According to your speculation, Steve Weeks should be in Koreatown now?”
Locke nodded and said: “It is obvious that Steve Chen is hiding here, just to wait for the storm to pass, and then go to Koreatown to meet up with Steve Weeks, and the previous series of operations should also be promoted by Steve Weeks himself…”
A cold light flashed in Madeline Hill’s eyes, “I really don’t know what the Anti-gang and Anti-drug Bureau does!”
Obviously, the Anti-gang and Anti-drug Bureau has omissions in the investigation of Steve Weeks’ identity.
Steve Weeks can make such a big scene to save his lover. How could he be an outsider member in MS-13?
Seeing Madeline Hill walk aside to make a phone report, Locke walked to the cordon, where Thaddeus Martin was chatting with David and others.
Wei Lun put his hand on the cordon and smiled: “Inspector Locke, do you need me to help you open it?? ”
Locke ignored his teasing and asked David: “How did you guys track down that red Ferrari?”
David shrugged, looking nonchalant, “We lost it. That guy is a great driver. He should be hiding in a corner like this car now! ”
At this time, the vehicle of the forensic center came over. Seeing the beautiful forensic doctor Catherine Murphy getting out of the car, Locke subconsciously smiled and was completely relieved.
In fact, he was not sure whether Catherine Murphy could understand his message.
He was confident that he did not leave any loopholes, but if the forensic doctor was his own, it was equivalent to an extra insurance.
When David Murphy saw his daughter coming, he hurriedly and considerately lifted the cordon for the people in the forensic center, and the wrinkles on his face were all smiling.
When Catherine Murphy passed by with a toolbox, she first smiled sweetly at David, then blinked at Locke, and then walked in.
The smile on David’s face froze instantly, and he whispered to Locke: “Do you contact Catherine a lot?”
In order to prove his innocence, Locke opened the message just now and showed it to David, “They are all work exchanges. Look, the last time was a week ago…”
David looked at Locke in astonishment, “You just killed someone, and you still have the mood to send a message to Catherine! ”
Locke said frankly: “I was bored waiting for support, and I thought Catherine might come over, so I sent her a message…”
“Locke, I suggest you see a psychiatrist”
David looked at him deeply, and when Madeline Hill came over, he changed his words and said: “Let’s talk another day!”
Madeline Hill glanced at David and the others, and said to Locke: “We need to go back to the detective station for a meeting!”
He said to Thaddeus Martin: “Teddeus, you stay at the scene, and report any situation immediately! ”
Locke left his F150 Raptor to Thaddeus Martin, so he got into Madeline Hill’s red Ford Explorer and sat in the driver’s seat.
After leaving the scene, Madeline Hill said: “Commander Davis said that the Parker Center takes the fact that MS-13 is creating chaos in Los Angeles very seriously, and we need to go back and report…”
Locke was not surprised by this, and no law enforcement agency can tolerate an uncontrolled organization.
This case has attracted the attention of the Parker Center, so MS-13 will most likely be hit next, and no one will pay attention to the shooting just now.
The only pity is that he may be on administrative leave again and will not be able to participate in the next The action is coming.
…
In a Catholic church in Koreatown, Blake Doflamingo sat on the second row of chairs, looking up at the majestic and merciful Jesus, with a cold and solemn expression.
Not far behind him stood a tall and strong black man, wearing sunglasses even indoors, like a black tower.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind the statue of Jesus, and two white men with cold faces dragged a man who was beaten unconscious into the room.
They threw the man at Blake Doflamingo’s feet, then stood aside, staring coldly at the man on the ground.
Blake Doflamingo looked down at the man on the ground and said coldly: “Speak, Steve, you are my cousin, so I give you this opportunity. Tell me the reason, why did you do such a stupid thing and expose the whole gang to danger, is it really because of that shit love born from the anus? ”
“…”
Steve Wicks opened his eyes. His right eye was only a slit due to redness and swelling. He spat out a mouthful of blood and said hoarsely: “Are you sure you want these two sons of bitches to listen?”
Blake Doflamingo looked at him deeply, waved to the bodyguard standing on the side, and the two immediately left the church.
Steve Wicks got up from the ground with difficulty. He raised his hand and said to the black bodyguard standing still: “Huck, come and help me!”
The black bodyguard named Huck didn’t move at all. He cursed: “Fuck, Huck, even you betrayed me!”
Steve Wicks could only grab the armrests of the table and chairs, climbed onto the chair and sat down, and said with resentment on his face: “Fuck, these sons of bitches, they really don’t have any feelings! Hiss…”
Blake Doflamingo’s face sank, and he said impatiently: “Steve, tell me the reason?”
“Do you know what you did this time? ”
“You actually let people create chaos in Los Angeles. The LAPD will never tolerate such a thing. You’ve caused me a lot of trouble!”
“How could you do such a stupid thing!”
“If you don’t give me a reason, I will definitely kill you…”
“Fuck, have you been screwed by that yellow monkey?”
“…””Stop, Blake, don’t use such discriminatory words against Steve! He is smarter than you and me!”
Steve Weeks interrupted his cousin with a dissatisfied grin, “It’s not like you haven’t seen Steve’s wisdom. Do you think he’s not worth rescuing? Haven’t you always wanted to recruit him as your military advisor? ”
Blake Doflamingo angrily cursed: “Idiot, there are many ways to rescue him. We can hire the best lawyer for him. I can even rob prison for him instead of causing chaos in Los Angeles and provoking the LAPD. Do you know what happened to the last organization that provoked the LAPD?”
“Johnny Dyson and Sam Brown are both dead, and Copernicus just disappeared!”
“Tell me the reason, otherwise, I will definitely kill your son of a bitch myself, and your damn yellow-skinned boyfriend. All of this must be his handiwork. You idiot will never figure it out…”
Facing his cousin’s anger, Steve Wicks remained unmoved. He stuck his head over with difficulty.
Blake Doflamingo had a cold expression and murderous intent boiling in his eyes, but he still gave the ear away.
Steve Wicks’ cracked lips trembled slightly and whispered something.
Blake Doflamingo’s face was filled with disbelief.
…
As soon as Locke and Madeleine Hill returned to the police detective station, they were immediately taken into the conference room.
Stars were shining in the conference room, and almost everyone had a star on their lapel badge.
In addition to the top brass of the Detective Bureau, LAPD Assistant Chief Superintendent Harold Caldwell, in charge of operations, and Deputy Chief Superintendent Frank Lacy, who is in charge of public affairs, also arrived.
There are also Western Bureau Chief Garrett Miller and Southern Bureau Chief Landon Dempsey, both of whom are deputy chief superintendents, with two stars.
MS-13 is under the jurisdiction of the Western Precinct and Southern Precinct.
Seeing Locke and the others coming in, Harold Caldwell said directly: “Okay, our frontline agents are back, let’s hear what happened? Director Michael Moen is still waiting for me. Reply!”
Madeleine Hill’s eyes flashed and she gave Locke the opportunity to report.
Naturally, Locke would not be frightened. He told everyone about today’s arrest and subsequent pursuit, including the fact that he had just killed Steve Chen.
He believed that Cole Badman, the supervisor of the Robbery and Murder Division, should have reported the whole story of this case.
“Well done, Detective Locke! It’s because of your refusal to give up that we were able to find the suspect and kill him!”
Harold Caldwell praised Locke and turned to look at Andrew Caldwell, Director of the Anti-Crime and Narcotics Division, “Andrew, what is the relationship between Steve Wicks and Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13)? He Why is Mara Salvatrucha still under your surveillance for allegedly mobilizing MS-13 gang forces to cause chaos?
“…”
A thin layer of sweat formed on Andrew Cardro’s forehead, “Sir, the information we have is that Steve Wicks is only a peripheral member of MS-13. Logically speaking, he does not have the ability to mobilize gang forces… ”
Harold Caldwell’s face darkened and he said coldly: “I finally understand why Blake Doflamingo dares to be so arrogant!”
He looked at Garrett Miller and Landon Dempsey, “Gentlemen, I need you to invite Blake Doflamingo over to have a chat. If this Mexican can’t control the situation, change him! ”
“I need him to hand over everyone who participated in causing chaos today, including Steve Wicks!”
“We need to develop an operation as soon as possible to tell all gang organizations who has the final say in Los Angeles!”
“Do you have anything else to add?”
Locke looked at the domineering Harold Caldwell and thought to himself that his ultimate position in the future should be director of the operations department.
The meeting broke up quickly, and Harold Caldwell and his party left the police detective station one after another.
Not long after Locke returned to the office, he was called into the office by Cole Badman for a conversation, “Locke, since you just fired a gun and caused the death of a suspect, according to the procedure, I need to take back your PC ID and police ID.” Detective badge, you will be on administrative leave from now on…”
“During the administrative leave, all your wages and benefits will not be affected. You need to cooperate with the investigations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the District Prosecutor’s Office, and the audit department…”
