Chapter 669: Capture

Detective Bureau, Anti-Gangsters and Anti-Narcotics Division.

The door of the Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Department was ajar. Luke walked to the door and knocked on the door symbolically.

Everyone in the office looked up.

David smiled and said, "Luke, why do you have time to come to our place?"

Luke waved and greeted the others, then walked to David's desk, "I'm here to help you."

"Did you encounter some difficult case?" David rubbed his bald head and pretended to think, "Let me guess, is it the case of Henry Lawley's disappearance?"

"Did you hear that?"

"No, I just think that this influential case will most likely be investigated by you.

There is no one more suitable than you. "

Luke smiled, "Thanks for the compliment."

Luke took out a screenshot of the video of the black man stalking Henry Lawley, "This is a surveillance video taken at Nasim Bar on Calpe Street. The suspect's face was not clearly captured, but he had a tattoo on the back of his neck. , most likely a gang tattoo.

You know more about the gang member and I'd like your help in finding him. "

David looked at the screenshot of the video carefully and said, "I have an impression of this tattoo." Then, David turned on the computer, searched and said, "Yes, this is the tattoo pattern of the Custer Gang.

This gang is not far from the streets of Calpe, and the person you are looking for should be a gang member. "

"Is there any way to find him?"

"Of course, I'll take you around." David stood up, said a few words to the colleagues next to him, and then left the office with Luke.

…

Inside a black SUV.

David introduced while driving, "The Custer Gang is a gang that was just established in recent years. Although there are only a few dozen gang members, it has been in a state of expansion and is very unstable.

Gang members, mostly black, engage in criminal activities such as theft, selling stolen goods, and prostitution.

Their sphere of influence is small, only one city block, which is why they are eager to expand. "

David raised the car window and said, "The Custer gang's territory is ahead. They don't welcome strangers, especially those as white as us."

The car drove forward for a while, and Luke saw a lot of black men gathered on both sides of the street. Some of these men were shirtless, some wore gold chains, and some had half of their underwear exposed. They are serious people, and one thing they have in common is that they all have tattoos.

Moreover, the tattoos on these people were very similar to the tattoos of the black men in the surveillance video. Luke scanned each person's figure, trying to identify the suspect.

When Luke and the two looked around, the black men were also staring at their car, and the expressions on their faces were not so friendly.

Fortunately, David did not stop and drove through the block, and there was no conflict between the two parties.

David asked, "Have you found the suspect?"

Luke shook his head, "I didn't see it."

David took out his cell phone and made a call, "Hello, I'm David.

I want to see you.

In the old place. "

There were only three short sentences. After finishing speaking, David hung up the phone.

"Let's go get something to eat, I'm a little hungry."

Luke nodded, "My treat."

The car drove for about ten minutes, and the two came to a relatively remote section of the road. David parked the car outside a burger restaurant.

After the two got off the car, Luke looked around and then followed David into the burger shop. There were not many people in the shop, only three tables of customers.

David said hello to the clerk and went directly to the second floor.

The second floor is smaller, half as wide as the first floor, has only one window, and the light is a little dim.

The two of them did not turn on the lights, but sat directly next to the window.

Luke looked around and saw that they were the only customers at the table, and said with a smile, "The environment of this restaurant is good."

David smiled too, "I knew you would like it."

Not long after, there was a sound of heavy footsteps on the stairs, and a fat white woman walked upstairs, holding a menu in her hand and asked, "Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?"

David handed the menu to Luke, "Take a look."

Luke glanced at it and returned the menu to David, "Please help me order."

David said, “Two beef burgers, a fried fish steak, a salad, and two Cokes.

Want these first. "

the waitress repeated, then went back downstairs.

Luke said, "You made an appointment with an informant?"

"Yes, but it's not certain when he will come. We'd better have a full stomach first."

"Is he reliable?"

“He provided me with information twice, which was fairly accurate.

Of course, it cannot be completely trusted. "

The two chatted for a while, and then the sound of heavy footsteps came on the stairs again, so they naturally changed the topic.

David asked, "How's your Hellcat going?"

"It's not bad. I'll let you test drive it another day."

David rubbed his hands, "Haha, I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

The waitress placed their orders on the table and then went downstairs.

"Try it, it tastes pretty good." David said, picking up the beef burger and taking a big bite.

Luke also tasted it and nodded in praise, "The beef is very tender and juicy."

Luke was also a little hungry. He finished the beef burger in a few bites and took a big sip of Coke.

David picked up a chip and asked, "How is the investigation of Henry Lawley's disappearance going?"

"There has been some progress. The person I am looking for is probably the last person who came into contact with Henry Lawley."

"Was Henry Lawley kidnapped or missing?"

If anyone else asked, Luke would definitely not say anything, but David was different. The two were partners before and had enough trust. Secondly, Luke took the initiative to ask him to help with the investigation this time, and he was secretive. good.

"Henric Lawley left the Four Seasons Hotel on his own initiative, and then went to other places. It is difficult to determine whether he was missing or kidnapped.

Moreover, the attitude of the people around Henry Lawley is also a bit strange, and they are not very cooperative with the police investigation. The whole case seems to be shrouded in a layer of mystery..."

David shrugged and said with a smile, "It seems that the Anti-Gang and Anti-Drug Division is suitable for me."

The two of them were eating and chatting.

Half an hour later, there was another sound of footsteps on the stairs. Compared with the previous heavy footsteps, this time the footsteps were lighter and more vigorous.

A black man wearing a gold necklace walked up the stairs. He wore a gray vest, turned his head and looked around the entire restaurant, looked at David, and then stared at Luke warily.

The black man forced a smile and said, "Hey, isn't this Officer David? What a coincidence."

David pointed at Luke and said, "Giantoro, this is my former partner and my good brother. You can trust him just like you trust me."

The man named Gentoro relaxed a little, "Boss, why did you summon me here?"

"I want you to help find someone." David took out the video of the black man and pointed to the tattoo on the screenshot of the video, "I want to find this person."

Gentoro looked at the surveillance video and said, "I can't see this person's face at all. How can I find him?"

David said, "This man has a tattoo of the Custer Gang. The tattoo is on the back of his neck. Combined with his physical characteristics, aren't these enough to identify him?"

Gentoro shrugged, "I need some time."

Luke was also looking at Gentoro and saw that he had the same tattoo on his arm. He knew that he was also a member of the Custer gang and said, "I need to find this person as soon as possible."

Gentoro slumped on the chair as if he was boneless, "This is difficult to handle.

Moreover, I don’t want to betray my gang. "

"No one will know about this, I promise." David took out two hundred dollars from his pocket, "I won't let you do it in vain, this is your money.

After you find this person, you will benefit from it. "

Gentoro took the two hundred dollars, still hesitant, "This makes me a little embarrassed..."

David took out another hundred dollars and said, "Boy, don't be too greedy."

"Thank you, boss." Gentoro quickly put away the three hundred dollars and stood up. "I will find him as soon as possible and don't contact me again."

…

Four p.m.

Robbery and Murder Division Office.

Just when Luke was getting impatient, he received a call from David.

"Luke, we found the person in the video."

"What's his name?"

"Theo Holder."

"Where is the person?"

"Velen Apartments."

"Very well. Let's meet in the parking lot in five minutes."

"Should I go too?"

"Of course, you also have a share of credit here." After Luke finished speaking, he hung up the phone and clapped his hands, "Guys, come on.

Lieutenant, you stay and look after the house. "

The deputy team member spread his hands and said, "If you catch the suspect, let me know and I will prepare coffee for you."

"You're so sweet."

…

Half an hour later.

Velen Apartment, outside room 305.

Luke, David, and Jackson stood on either side of the door.

David made a gesture and then knocked on the door.

no respond.

David knocked on the door again, "Hey, I'm the apartment manager, you owe the bill."

Still no response.

Luke leaned against the door and listened, but he vaguely heard movement inside, "There's someone inside."

"I knew these guys wouldn't make people worry." After David finished speaking, he raised his foot and kicked the door lock, "Bang!"

The apartment door was kicked open.

"lapd!"

"Don't move!"

The three of them covered each other and rushed into the apartment.

"The toilet is empty."

"There's no one in the living room."

"The closet is empty."

"There's no one under the bed."

This apartment is not large in size. Apart from a separate toilet, there is a large open room outside, making it easy to search.

Jackson saw that the window was open, walked over and looked around, and saw a black man climbing down the drainage pipe, "He's down there, and this bastard jumped out of the window and ran away."

The tattooed black man who had climbed to the first floor looked up, jumped down from a height of two meters, landed firmly on the ground, and then showed the middle finger with his right hand, grinning with a proud look on his face. .

As if to say again, if you have the ability, come and arrest me.

Suddenly a shadow appeared next to him. The tattooed black man turned around and saw a strange black man standing in the corner with a gun in his hand.

"Fuck!" The tattooed black man turned around and ran away.

I heard shouting from behind, "lapd! Don't move, otherwise I will shoot."

The tattooed man didn't stop at all and continued running forward.

With a sound of "Bang!", the tattooed black man felt pain in his back, and a strong electric current passed through his body. His whole body went numb and he collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Hei came over with a stun gun and blew on the gun coolly, "With me here, don't even think about running away!"

Luke poked his head out of the third-floor apartment and waved, "Bring him up."

"He's like a soft-footed shrimp now. I need someone to help." As Xiao Hei spoke, he cuffed the tattooed man's hands. He could feel the tattooed man's body still shaking.

Soon, Jackson also went downstairs and helped Xiao Hei escort the tattooed man to the third-floor apartment.

Luke walked up to the tattooed man, observed his figure and the tattoos on his back, and said straight to the point, "Where is Henry Lawley?"

The tattooed man frowned and glared back at Luke, "I don't know about Henry Lawley. You have arrested the wrong person."
