Los Angeles Detective

Reid also rushed to the school immediately.

He got out of the car and immediately asked, "How are the three victims? Has the injury worsened?"

Luke said, "After the medical staff on the ambulance performed emergency bandages, the three injured have been sent to the hospital. I asked the accompanying medical staff, and the injuries of the three are not life-threatening."

"Good job. I heard that you shot the gun yourself and wounded the shooter." Reid was obviously relieved. As long as there are no new victims, the case will be closed perfectly, and he can have a perfect answer in front of Frank. , Frank can also explain something to the people of Los Angeles.

As for the injured, it meant that the situation was critical at that time. Fortunately, the people from the robbery and murder department arrived in time to avoid the second massacre, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Luke smiled, "That's right, one shot to the ankle and one shot to the wrist made him lose his mobility and resistance, which solved the problem perfectly.

Are you going to name me the No. 1 sharpshooter of the Detective Department? "

Rhett smiled, "As long as you don't mind the trouble, I don't mind."

"Forget it, it's more beneficial to pay more bonuses." Luke didn't want to have the entire police station line up to test his marksmanship with him for the sake of a false name. After all, he relied on his brain for food.

"When I see Frank, I will help you apply." Reid patted Luke on the shoulder with a sincere tone.

"Thank you." Luke replied with a smile, but he didn't have much expectation in his heart.

There are a lot of people involved in the case this time, even if there are rewards shared, it won't be too much. After all, everyone is a team. Even if Luke is the leader, he has to take care of the emotions of his subordinates.

Having said that, with Luke's current net worth, he doesn't care much about the rewards from the police station. What the police station can bring him is background, resources and fame. With these three things, he can make money outside smoothly. extra money.

When he becomes more famous, Luke may also be able to get a speech invitation, and then he can make money with his mouth.

Fame and fortune have always been inseparable twin brothers.

He was already looking forward to this day.

In addition, Luke shot during this operation, so he can get a few days of paid vacation, deal with the villa affairs, and build the house as soon as possible. As for when he will be able to move in, it is hard to say. It depends on whether the decoration and furniture in Los Angeles contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde.

If there is, let it dry for a longer period of time, if not, move in early, and save a lot of rent.

...

Carmela Supermarket.

Two patrol police cars were parked near the entrance of the supermarket, and four police officers were standing together and chatting.

One of the middle-aged black police officers with a big belly said, "I just received news from the dispatch station that the shooter attacked Luther King No. 3 Middle School. Got it."

A young black police officer said with thick lips, "So, the information we received before was not accurate?"

An Asian police officer leaning against the police car interjected, "I don't think so. The murderer attacked the Rogier supermarket for the first time. The murderer often chooses a familiar place to commit crimes, so the target of the second attack is very Probably still a supermarket.

The reason why the gunman chose other targets is likely to be vigilant in advance. "

The middle-aged black police officer with a big belly said, "I agree with your point of view. Maybe it is precisely because we are here that the gunman changed his target.

If we hadn't gotten to the supermarket in time, it would have been the scene of a carnage like Rogier's. "

The young black police officer laughed, "Then we have done meritorious service?"

"Of course." Several people laughed.

At this moment, a black man in his forties came out of the supermarket carrying a black plastic plate with several cups on it, "Officers, it's time for coffee, and your favorite donuts. "

This black man is the owner of the supermarket, Boqi Carmela.

The Asian policeman took a cup of coffee, "Mr. Carmela, thank you for the coffee, but donuts are fine, not all policemen like this taste."

The young black police officer laughed, "That's right, I'm working out these days. If I eat a donut, the coach will definitely go crazy."

The middle-aged black police officer smiled, "Thank you coach, no one will rob me now."

The young black man looked at the other's stomach and smiled, "Dude, you are the one who needs to lose weight the most."

"No, my wife likes my belly, she says it's more secure."

The young black police officer curled his lips, showing his biceps, "She's lying to you, women like muscles, and that's what makes them feel safe."

The middle-aged black police officer shook his head, "My wife is past the age you mentioned, haha."

Pochi Carmella greeted warmly, "We still have sliced ​​rye bread in our supermarket, would you like some?"

The Asian police officer waved his hand, "No, thank you boss, you are already very considerate."

"Hey, don't be rude to me. You protected my supermarket. This city needs people like you. You are real heroes."

Several police officers on patrol looked at each other and smiled, and no one disliked being praised.

The middle-aged black police officer took a bite of the donut and said, "Mr. Carmela, you can do business with peace of mind. We have caught that perverted shooter."

Pochi Carmela forced a smile, "Great, where was he caught, is he dead?"

The middle-aged black police officer ate a donut in three or four bites, "He originally wanted to attack your supermarket. But because we got the news in advance and strengthened the surrounding patrol force, the gunman temporarily changed his target and went to a distance here. Not far from Luther King No. 3 Secondary School.

As for the specific situation there, we are not very clear, but he is no longer a threat to your supermarket. "

"Thank you so much, if you need anything to eat, I'll get it for you."

The Asian police officer raised his glass, "I don't need anything, thank you for the coffee, it's very delicious."

"You're welcome, I'm the one who should say thank you." The smile on Pochi Carmela's face was a bit forced, and his tone was rather eager, as if he wanted to turn around and return to the supermarket.

At this moment, a car stopped at the entrance of the supermarket, and Marcus and Potter got out of the car.

Xiao Hei showed his police badge, then bumped fists with four black police officers, "Hi, guys, good afternoon."

Xiao Hei took a bite out of a doughnut, "It tastes good, I like the vanilla flavor."

The middle-aged black police officer asked, "Hi Inspector, is there anything we can do?"

"No, no need. I just want to talk to the boss here." Xiao Hei pointed to the Carmela supermarket.

The middle-aged black patrolman said, "What a coincidence, the person standing in front of you is the owner of the supermarket."

Xiao Hei had already noticed the other party, and asked routinely, "I am Inspector Marcus of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division. Sir, what's your name?"

Pochi Carmella looked a little nervous, and replied, "My name is Pochi Carmela."

"Do you know Brown Bryant?"

Pochi Carmella showed a flustered expression, shook his head, "I don't know."

Xiao Hei took out a photo, "Look carefully?"

"I really haven't seen it."

Xiao Hei continued to ask, "Then do you know Carl Smith?"

"Yes, we have some overlap at work, he has delivered to my supermarket, but we haven't seen each other in a while."

"According to our investigation, Carl Smith is suspected of being involved in the Rogier supermarket shooting, and he identified you as also participating in the shooting, so we need to ask you to go back and find out the situation."

Pochi Carmela quickly stepped back, "No no no, he's lying, I have nothing to do with the shooting.

I am a supermarket owner myself, how could I be involved in a supermarket shooting? "

Potter took out a document from the car, "This is the arrest warrant, please come with us.

You don't want to be handcuffed in front of your supermarket. "

Pochi Carmela was discouraged all of a sudden, and he stood there in a daze, not daring to resist. He looked back at the supermarket and was escorted into the police car by Potter.

The few patrolmen present were also dumbfounded.

The middle-aged black police officer couldn't help asking, "Inspector Marcus, what's the situation? Didn't the shooter want to attack the Carmela supermarket? Why did the supermarket owner become an accomplice?"

Xiao Hei explained, "Dude, the situation here is more complicated than you think, and there is no interrogation yet, so I also need to keep it secret, so I can't say too much.

I believe you will understand. "

The four patrolmen stared at each other, watching Xiao Hei get into the police car and take the supermarket owner away, and then looked at the coffee in his hand, suddenly it tasted bad.

Robbery Murder Division, Interrogation Room.

Brown Bryant was injured and was sent to the hospital for treatment, so Luke decided to interrogate the other two suspects first.

When Pochi Carmela was brought into the police station, his legs had already started to weaken. When he entered the interrogation room, he was lifted up by two police officers and placed on the interrogation chair.

Seeing his appearance, Luke also felt a little more worried, "Do you have any serious medical history? For example, heart disease?"

Pochi Carmela shook her head, "I...I didn't."

Luke introduced himself, "I am the captain of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division, Luke Lee.

I was responsible for the investigation of the Rogier supermarket shooting. According to the clues we have now, there are three people involved in the shooting. Brown Bryant and Carl Smith have both been arrested. The current situation is not good for you. "

Pochi Carmela kept her mouth tightly shut, sweating all the time, and didn't answer.

Luke took out the photo of Brown Bryant being arrested, "I know, you expect him to be shot dead by the police in your heart, and the possibility of him being shot is very high.

But I can tell you that apart from his wrist and ankle injuries, he is healthy elsewhere. There is a high probability that he will not see God before you. "

Pochi Carmella stared at the photo, and sighed softly.

Seeing that his attitude had softened, Luke said in a stern tone, "Brown Bryant has confessed. He was hired by someone else to go to Rogier's supermarket and shoot people.

Weaponry is also provided by you and Carl Smith.

We interrogated Carl Smith, and he confessed that you were behind the shooting, that you planned it, that you financed it.

I really want to ask you, why did you instigate Brown Bryant to commit the shooting in the Rogier supermarket, and what kind of hatred do the dozens of customers who were killed in the supermarket have with you? "

Hearing that he was the mastermind behind the shooting, Pochi Carmela trembled with fright, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, "I didn't order them to kill people.

I don't dare to do this, and there is no need to kill people. This is not the result I want at all. "

Luke pressed, "Then what is the result you want?"

"I just want to improve the business of my supermarket and stop losing money." Pochi Carmela clenched his fists, showing resentment, "My supermarket has been open for many years, it is like my supermarket. child.

But since the Rogier supermarket opened, my supermarket business has suffered a lot.

The behind-the-scenes owner of Rogier Supermarket is a Korean. Many Koreans are running supermarkets. They unite to buy goods, negotiate with suppliers, and minimize the benefits of goods. They would rather not make money than kill the surrounding supermarkets to achieve monopoly The purpose of the regional market.

I don't have big ambitions, I just want my supermarket to survive and support me and my family.

If my supermarket closes, my employees will lose their jobs, and the dozens of families standing behind them will face the same dilemma.

But the Korean doesn't care about these things. He just wants to knock down our supermarket and dominate the market in this area. He only cares about profits and does whatever he can.

We can't beat them at all. "

Luke took advantage of the situation, "So you hired someone to go to Rogier's to make a shooting?"

"I really didn't think about killing people, I just wanted to find someone to go to Rogier's supermarket to make trouble, and put a few empty guns to scare the customers away, so that the customers felt that it was not safe there, and they dared not go to Rogier's supermarket to buy things again.

In this way, the surrounding residents will come to my supermarket to shop, my employees and I will not be unemployed, and our family will not face the embarrassment of life.

Nobody dies in my plan, just a warning to Rogier's that it belongs to the black community, that's all. "

"If it's like you said, why would Brown Bryant massacre black customers at Rogier's?"

"I don't know either.

I was also shocked after seeing the news. I called Carl Smith and he said that the shooter was crazy and out of control. "

Pochi Carmela sighed, showing remorse, "I shouldn't have asked them for help. These white people are bloody bastards, and I was killed by them."

"How much did you give Carl Smith? What did you say at the time?"

"I originally planned to give 40,000 U.S. dollars, but Carl Smith thought it was too little, so he asked me for 60,000 U.S. dollars, and I mortgaged my car to make up enough money.

I told him that Rogier was viciously competitive and trying to crush my store.

Wish he could hire someone to go to Rogier's and fire a few empty guns and scare the customers away. "Pochi Carmella sighed, with a complicated look on his face,

"Carl Smith agreed, and brought in Brown Bryant to implement the plan. Brown Bryant and Carl Smith are both members of the Tsundere Boys.

They hate blacks and are hostile to blacks.

If I hadn't been forced to do this, I wouldn't have asked them for help.

I swear that I never ordered Carl Smith and Brown Bryant to hurt anyone, and I don't know how Carl Smith told Brown Bryant to make things like this.

It hurt my heart to see so many people being killed... I was so scared and overwhelmed at the time.

I really wish this never happened. "Pochi Carmela covered her cheeks with her hands, her arms were still trembling.

Luke saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, so he wrote down the key points of his interrogation in his notebook, and compared them with the interrogation records of the suspect Carl Smith, which were basically the same.

The shooting has also been largely smoothed out.

Because of the poor management of the supermarket, Pochi Carmela asked Carl Smith to introduce a gunman to Rogier's supermarket as an intermediary, hoping to defeat competitors in this way.

Carl Smith found Brown Bryant and gave him thirty thousand dollars in cash, as well as equipment and a car.

The suspected vehicle that Brown Bryant was initially driving was purchased by Carl Smith from the black market, and most of the guns and equipment were purchased through formal channels.

As for where the equipment and the car used in Brown Bryant's arrest came from.

The police don't know, and neither does Carl Smith. I'm afraid only Brown Bryant can answer.

Brown Bryant was hit by two bullets and is still being treated in the hospital. Luke called to inquire. Although his life was not in danger, the record cannot be made today.

after get off work.

Jackson proposed to go to the bar to have a drink tonight to celebrate the capture of the shooter, and it was rare for Xiao Hei to agree with him.

However, it was changed to tomorrow by Luke because he still has something to do tonight.

His father came to Los Angeles to help him with the purchase of the villa.

Luke is going to pick up the plane.
