Chapter 677 Dark Night

January 2nd.

11pm.

Lawson convenience store on Kazika Avenue.

A police patrol car stopped on the side of the road, the door of the passenger compartment opened, and John, wearing a police uniform, got out of the car.

He ran a few steps in place and did a few squats. Even a middle-aged person would feel uncomfortable sitting for a long time.

A police officer also got out of the cab, a young Mexican police officer. He also walked to John and moved his body in the same way.

John looked at the Mexican police officer, then looked at the police car and asked, "Rookie, have you forgotten something?"

When he said the word "rookie", John's mood was very complicated, he was a little conflicted and a little excited.

The reason for the resistance is that others used to call him a rookie, but now he is qualified to call others a rookie. Yes, he has a new partner and has become the other party's training officer. This feeling... is really cool.

"Sir, what are you referring to?"

"You didn't lock the car."

"But the two of us were right next to the police car..."

John said, "According to the regulations of the police station, after two police officers get out of the car at the same time, the driver must lock the police car in time to prevent accidents."

"I remember." The Mexican police officer locked the car door.

Seeing the disinterested look on the other party's face, John said, "Juan, I'm not deliberately finding fault, but this point is very important.

Previously, a police officer I knew forgot to lock the door of his car while performing his duties. Then the suspect took the opportunity to drive away the police car and injured a passerby.

The police department paid a large compensation and the officer was suspended.

The most important thing is that this kind of low-level mistake is very embarrassing, do you understand? "

"Yes, I understand." Juan's attitude was a little more serious.

"Very good." Johnson smiled and asked, "Would you like some coffee?"

Juan shook his head, "No, thank you."

"But... I want to drink."

Juan then realized, "Oh, yeah, I'll buy it. Do you need to add sugar?"

"Just add it normally." John looked at the right figure and curled his lips, "What a... not very clever boy."

After a while, Juan came out with two cups of coffee and handed one to John, "Sir, yours."

"Thank you." John sat on the plastic seat in front of the store, took a sip of coffee and said, "You know? When I first came to the police station, in order to learn more and get a higher evaluation, I often Help the training officer line up to buy food.

It’s quite interesting now that I think about it. "

Juan asked, "Does it work?"

John shrugged, "At least it doesn't hurt."

"Sir, how old were you when you started working as a police officer?"

John put down his coffee cup and asked, "Are you trying to say that I'm very old?"

"No, I'm just curious...why do you suddenly want to be a police officer?"

"Not only you are curious, many people are curious, I used to be a construction contractor, my scale was not big, and my business was not very good.

Once, I went to the bank to do business and happened to encounter a group of gangsters robbing the bank.

One of the gangsters pushed a pregnant woman down. I stood up to protect the pregnant woman, and the gangster pointed a gun at my head...

That was the closest I got to death...

Later, I had the idea of ​​becoming a police officer. "

Juan nodded, "Sir, I can see that you are a person with a strong sense of justice."

“Rookie, you still have a lot to learn.

Work hard, I have also come through this step..." John said in the tone of an experienced person.

Juan yawned and asked, "Sir, can you tell me some tips on staying up late? Just drink coffee, it has no effect on me."

John smiled, "That's because you drank too much.

In fact, I was not used to working the night shift at first, and it felt very uncomfortable to have day and night reversed.

At this time, the more you need to relax. In fact, Los Angeles is also very beautiful at night. Without the hustle and bustle of the day, it’s like a sleeping beauty..."

At this point, a black Honda sedan suddenly drove past.

John stood up from his chair, "This street has a speed limit, and the car was obviously speeding.

Time to get to work, rookie. "

"Yes, sir." Juan dropped the coffee, pressed the car unlock button, and trotted to the cab.

"No, you go to the passenger seat and I'll drive." John got into the cab, started the car, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.

Turn on the lights and sound the siren to signal the cars ahead to stop.

The black Honda sedan did not stop, but drove faster.

"I bet there is something wrong with the car in front." John said firmly.

Juan picked up the walkie-talkie and called the main station, asking for support.

Suddenly, the Dongfeng Honda in front turned sharply to the right and drove into the alley on the right. The alley was very narrow and could only accommodate one car.

The Dongfeng Honda drove a short distance into the alley, then parked directly. A figure pushed open the cab door and ran into the shadow of the alley.

John ran out of the car, raised his pistol and pointed it at the fleeing figure, "lapd, don't move!"

However, the figure did not stop and turned into the alley on the right.

John was worried that there were accomplices in the car. He held a flashlight in his left hand and a gun in his right hand. He first checked the black Honda car in front and found that there was no one else in the car.

Juan said nervously, "The driver ran away, do we still have to chase him?"

John glanced at the dark alley and shook his head, "Call for backup. It's hard for the two of us to find each other."

"Okay." Juan returned to the police car, called for backup, and reported his location.

John opened the door and searched the black Honda. The driver abandoned the car and ran away without hesitation, indicating that there must be something wrong with the other party.

John sniffed and smelled a faint smell of blood. He shined his flashlight into the back seat of the car and saw no blood or prohibited items.

He turned on the trunk switch of the car, walked to the back of the car, and opened the trunk lid. A strong smell of blood rushed into his nose. A white man was lying in the trunk...

On the morning of January 3rd.

Robbery and Murder Division Office.

Everyone had just returned from vacation, and there was still a sense of festive joy and excitement.

Blackie asked, "Guys, how was your Christmas?"

The deputy team member said, "I went to the small town of Witos. The environment of that town is beautiful and has a Christmas atmosphere. It was an unforgettable holiday."

Jenny said, "I've heard about that town and heard that many couples go there for vacation. It's very romantic."

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Oh, deputy team, which ex-wife did you go with? I didn't expect you still have a romantic heart."

"It's not an ex-wife, she's a lady I just met last year. She's very elegant and caring. We have many common hobbies."

Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, "You have a new girlfriend?"

The deputy team member spread his hands and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Xiao Hei curled his lips, "In the past, you always said I was a playboy, but now you know who the real playboy is."

The deputy team leader said, "You and I are different. You acted irresponsibly at that time.

But I am different. I am serious about every lady, I will be responsible, and I will marry them. "

Xiao Hei said indifferently, "This is why you are still working now."

The deputy hummed, "I'd love to."

Jackson was a little curious, "Vice Captain, will you get married again?"

The deputy asked, "Why not?"

Raymond, who has always been a man of few words, couldn't help but say, "You are a real warrior!"

Seeing everyone looking at him with complicated eyes, the deputy team leader was also a little embarrassed and said, "Luke, why haven't you come today?" Without waiting for others to answer, he continued, "If I guessed correctly, he is most likely It’s late again.”

…

Outside the deputy director's office.

"Dong dong..." Luke knocked on the office door.

"Come in."

Luke pushed the door open and walked in. Not only did he see a serious-looking Red, but he also saw a sad-looking David.

Luke raised his eyebrows, "David, why are you here too?"

David looked at Rhett with a sullen face and did not answer.

"I see." Luke said as if he had guessed something, "Director, is David in trouble?

If he wants to return to the Robbery and Murder Division, our No. 1 Squadron is always ready to welcome him. "

"It's not David's business." Rhett still looked serious and pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down and talk."

Luke felt that the situation was serious and asked, "What happened?"

Rhett sighed, "Jones is dead."

Luke was stunned for a while before reacting, "Captain Jones?"

Reid said, "Yes, it's been identified. Jones was killed last night."

There was silence in the office for a moment before Luke asked, "How did Captain Jones die?"

"Last night, the patrol stopped a speeding car. The driver abandoned the car and ran away. The patrol found Jones' body in the trunk.

Jones was identified this morning. "

Luke looked at David and then at Red, "Do you want Squadron 1 to investigate this case?"

Reid nodded and said firmly, "The murderer of Jones must be caught. The entire Detective Bureau, no, the entire Los Angeles Police Department will cooperate with your actions."

"I understand that Jones is not only my colleague but also my friend.

We will definitely catch the murderer. "Luke agreed immediately. In this situation, it was his responsibility.

David said, "Our Anti-Crime and Anti-Drug Department will also be involved in the investigation."

Rhett didn't answer immediately and looked at Luke, "What do you think?"

"Yes, but you can't mess around. All actions must be under my command."

Jones is the captain of the Anti-Gang and Anti-Drug Division. Even if Luke does not agree with their participation in the investigation, they may still investigate it privately.

Instead of letting them mess around, you should agree to investigate.

"No problem." David believed in Luke's investigative ability and did not reject it.

Rhett was also worried about people from the Anti-Crime and Anti-drug Department messing around, but now that Luke was watching, he felt relieved and said,

“Jones is our colleague and our partner.

Whoever killed him was provoking the entire lapd.

There must be an explanation for Jones' death.

No matter what the cost, the murderer must be brought to justice. "

"Yes, sir!"
