Los Angeles Detective
Chapter 419 Consultant (big chapter, please subscribe!)
"Will, my poor boy.
Where the hell are you... woo..." As soon as the two Asian police officers left, Yao Xin couldn't help crying.
Li Zhaonian glanced at his wife, his eyes were red, he wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say, so he patted his wife's back lightly with his right hand.
Li Zhaofeng persuaded, "Zhaonian, brothers and sisters, don't worry too much, the police just came to find out about eating Bawang's meal that day, didn't they explain everything clearly.
We grew up watching Will, and we know exactly what kind of kid he is.
Rather than thinking about it here, it's better to find a way to find Will sooner. "
Yao Xin wiped away tears, "That's right, big brother is right, let's find Will, as long as we can find Will, everything will be clear."
Li Zhaonian is not so optimistic, they have been looking for, but Will has no news at all, Will has lost his temper before, but never like this time, "Luke, you are an expert in criminal investigation, what do you think? "
Luke said, "The police investigation is a step-by-step process. When clues or suspects are found, they will verify and investigate as soon as possible to eliminate false clues; if there are doubts, they will also focus on investigation.
Taking the matter of Will as an example, I think it should be divided into two situations. The first situation, the conflict between Will and the bald head, is limited to the restaurant, which will be relatively simple.
In the second case, the police have other clues that prove that Will and the bald head had other contacts, because we don't know this situation, it will be more difficult.
No matter which of the above situations is the case, the police will send someone to verify it as soon as possible. Just like just now, find Will and make a record. If he can explain clearly, he will be ruled out as a suspect.
If they can't find Will, they will increase their suspicion of Will, and even guess whether the other party is absconding in fear of crime. "
Yao Xin showed a worried look, "Then what should we do?"
Luke replied, "The easiest way is to find Will and ask.
As far as finding people, the police will have more means, such as mobile phone location and credit card location.
If Will had simply run away from home, the police would have easily located his address.
Maybe there will be news from Will soon. "
Li Zhaonian asked, "What if the police can't locate Will's address?"
"That means that Will is not only avoiding you, but also avoiding the police." Luke didn't clarify, but everyone at the scene already understood.
With red eyes, Yao Xin choked up and said, "Will won't, he's not that kind of child."
Luke comforted, "I think so too. So don't worry too much, maybe there will be news from Will soon."
Li Zhaonian grabbed Luke's arm, "Luke, can you find a relationship and inquire about the case of Zhang Qilong's murder? I still feel a little uneasy, his death is too coincidental.
Moreover, Zhang Qilong is from Heshengtang, if they knew that Zhang Qilong's death was related to Will, they would not let Will go. "
"Okay, I'll try to find a way." They are all close relatives, Luke can't refuse, but he won't promise too much, "I have been working in Los Angeles, if this happened in Los Angeles, there would be no problem.
But I'm not familiar with the New York Police Department, so I can only ask my friends to help me find out. I'm not sure how much I can learn. "
"I see.
I will withdraw 10,000 U.S. dollars in a while. You can’t ask your friend to help you for nothing. Give as much as you should. "Li Zhaonian has been in business for many years, and he is very sophisticated in human relations.
"I'll speak up if necessary." Luke would certainly not stand idly by about his cousin's affairs, but there was no reason to add money to it.
"Jingle Bell……"
Just then, Luke's cell phone rang.
Anthony's number was displayed on the screen.
"I'm going to answer the phone." Luke left the restaurant and pressed the answer button, "Hi, I'm Luke."
"Hey man, how was your day?" Anthony's voice came from the phone.
"It's not good." Luke used to ask others, but this time he became the object of questioning.
"Hehe, it seems that my call was timely.
I contacted the FBI's New York office and told them about you.
I have a friend in the New York office who just happens to be able to speak.
He has agreed to give you a status as a temporary forensic consultant in the New York office. "
"Sounds good, it looks like I've changed my luck."
"Don't talk about damn luck, it's my credit."
"You're right, I owe you a favor."
"Wow, it's not easy to make Captain Luke owe you favors, I have to think about how to use them."
"You can think about it, but it's my question whether to deliver."
Anthony complained, "You are such a bastard, you turned your face before the status of consultant was confirmed."
"I'm just putting the ugly words up front so you don't have too high expectations."
"You think too much, I never have high expectations for you."
"That's good. By the way, is my consultant status effective immediately? Where can I get the certificate?"
"It's not as simple as you think, there must be a procedure.
You go to the FBI's New York office and talk to the director of the office, Negan Thomas, and he wants to talk to you in person.
If there is no problem, he will help you with the formalities. "
"I remember." Luke responded, which is also good, more formal and complete.
Luke hung up the phone, returned to the restaurant, and said, "I know some friends from the FBI, I'm going to visit, maybe they can help."
"FBI?" Yao Xin spoke with a trembling voice. This organization gave her a bad impression and instinctive fear. "Are they also investigating Will?"
"No, but their sources of information are relatively wide."
Li Zhaonian didn't understand it very well either, but he could only rely on Luke now, and he was willing to trust Luke, "Go and do your work, we'll wait at the restaurant."
Luke nodded, "Call me if you need anything."
Li Zhaofeng chased him out, "Luke, drive my car, be careful on the road."
"I see." Luke took the key and drove away.
The FBI's New York office is also in Manhattan, a ten-minute drive from Chinatown.
Luke drove the car to the door, but the barrier didn't rise.
An old bald white man poked his head out of the sentry box and asked, "Hey, boy, who are you looking for?"
"Negan Thomas, director of the FBI's New York office."
"Who are you?"
"Luke Lee."
"Oh, it really is you. It's very similar to my temperament when I was young."
Luke smiled. "You know me?"
"Of course, Medal of Valor for the public safety officer who killed the shooter in Las Vegas, you are a hero."
"I didn't know I was so famous?"
The balding old man asked, "Are you going to join the FBI too?"
Luke "..."
This question really... stumped him.
The bald old man waved his hand, "Needless to say, I understand.
A capable and famous elite like you is definitely suitable for a larger platform and a wider space. "The bald old man whispered,
"The boys in the Bureau have been at ease for too long, it's time to find someone to stimulate them.
I like you. "
"Thank you." Luke forced a smile.
What else can he say?
"Didi..." A car behind started to sound its horn, urging.
What did the old man think of this time, "By the way, who did you say you were looking for?"
"Negan Thomas, director of the New York office."
"You enter the building, go through the security check, there is an elevator on the right, and you can go straight to the seventh floor. He is in the office on the easternmost side."
"Thank you, I don't know your name yet?"
"Shaq, the Bureau likes to call me old Shaq."
"See you another day, old Shaq."
"Bye, Luke.
By the way, I love your hair.
I also had thick hair when I was younger. "Old Shaq touched his Mediterranean Sea.
Luke looked at the top of his shiny head and wanted to say, we are different, really different...
Luke drove into the FBI's yard. He had been to the FBI's Los Angeles office before, which was bigger and lower than here.
Luke drove into the parking lot and found that the parking lot was divided into front and back. The two parking lots were separated by an iron fence, and the parking lot where Luke was located was in front.
Luke got out of the car and entered the building. There was a security check in the lobby. Luke took out two pistols from his body, checked his identity information, registered, and then let him enter the building.
Luke suddenly doubted the role of this security check.
What are they checking for?
C4 or Dirty Bomb?
Luke went up to the seventh floor according to the old Shaq's reminder, and found the supervisor's office, and next to the supervisor's office was the assistant's office. A white woman wearing glasses asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"
"Negan Thomas."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"Yes, my name is Luke Lee."
The white female assistant wearing glasses sized Luke up and knocked on Negan Thomas' door.
"Come in."
The female assistant opened the door, "Sir, Mr. Luke Li is here."
"Please come in."
The female assistant invited Luke into the office and closed the door behind her.
A middle-aged man in his forties greeted him, "Hey, Luke Li, I know you."
"Director Thomas, nice to meet you."
"Can I call you Luke?"
"Of course." Although there is no affiliation between the police and the fbi, Thomas, as the director of the fbi office, has a much higher status than Luke.
Anthony is also only the deputy director of the Los Angeles office, mainly responsible for interstate or major criminal cases.
The two sat by the sofa.
"Dong dong." The assistant knocked on the door and walked in, took two cups of coffee and put them on the coffee table, and left the office again.
Negan Thomas picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, "I heard that you have encountered some trouble, can you tell me what it is?"
"A few days ago, I flew to New York for the Spring Festival, and on the night of January 21, I found myself being followed by a car, which made me a little uneasy.
I'm used to being proactive in LA, but in New York...it's going to be reactive.
So, I contacted Anthony and asked him to borrow a temporary FBI ID. "Luke paused when he said this, and continued,
"This morning, my cousin was involved in another murder case, and troubles followed one after another, which made me very disturbed."
Negan Thomas nodded, expressing his understanding, "I am also a law enforcement officer, so I know the feeling of being passive.
Anthony mentioned this to me and asked me to arrange a temporary status for you.
I agreed.
If you want, you can temporarily serve as a forensic consultant for the FBI's New York field office. "
"Thank you." Luke sincerely thanked him, and thought for a moment, "Although I shouldn't ask this, I still want to know, why help me?"
"I read your information, you have excellent criminal investigation talent, and according to Anthony, your actual combat level is extremely high, and you are a rare talent.
Although Anthony is a jerk, he rarely compliments people.
And, you've been awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest honor for a public safety officer, and you're trustworthy.
why not? "
Luke asked, "Is there anything I can do?"
Luke doesn't believe in a free lunch.
"If I encounter a difficult and major criminal case, I may ask for your advice. After all, you are an FBI criminal investigation consultant."
Luke smiled, "Is there a salary?"
"Because it is a temporary position, there is no fixed salary, but there will be bonuses and subsidies."
"Happy cooperation." Luke held out his right hand.
Negan Thomas also shook hands with Luke, "Welcome to the FBI."
"Thank you." Luke felt that it was necessary to report to Rhett when he turned around. Although it was only a temporary status, it was not a bad thing to communicate more with the leader.
"Director Thomas, there is something I would like to ask for your help."
"Negan, just call me Negan.
What's up? "
"My uncle owns a restaurant in Chinatown, and my cousin works in that restaurant. On the night of January 20th, a customer ate at the restaurant, but he refused to pay the bill, so there was an argument with my cousin, but nothing happened. .
Afterwards, my uncle reprimanded my cousin in order to calm things down, thinking that he should not quarrel with the guests.
My cousin was a little angry and ran away from home.
On January 22, a male body was found in a trash can in Chinatown. The dead man was a customer who had not paid for dinner two days ago.
This morning, two patrolmen came to my uncle's restaurant. They knew about the quarrel between my cousin and the deceased, and they wanted to ask him for information.
But there has been no news of my cousin.
The deceased may have been a gang member.
I would like you to check the information of the deceased. "
Negan Thomas was a little surprised, "I thought you wanted to investigate the whereabouts of your cousin or learn about the murder case in Chinatown."
"Is it possible?" Luke asked back, he really wanted to, but it was a bit difficult to actually do it.
The FBI is not allowed to intervene in any case. It is usually a cross-state case or a major criminal case. Just one death is not enough to alarm the FBI. Therefore, it needs a reason for the FBI to intervene in the Chinatown murder case.
As for checking the whereabouts of the cousin, this is a bit of a taboo, not to mention the cousin, it is also taboo for the son to investigate the whereabouts of the other without his consent.
Of course, it's not impossible for the FBI to investigate a person, as long as they find a suitable reason. Taking a step back, it's not impossible for the FBI to investigate secretly without reason.
But it was only the first day that Luke became the FBI's temporary consultant, and they had never cooperated with each other before, so it was a bit shallow to make this request.
It would be okay if it was Anthony, but he, Negan Thomas, didn't say a few words in total.
Negan Thomas said, "What's the name of the deceased, I'll help you look up his information."
Luke said, "Zhang Qilong, Chinese, probably a member of the Heshengtang gang, died in a trash can in Chinatown on January 22."
"I'll ask Chris to take you to go through the formalities of the criminal investigation consultant. After you're done, come back to me." Negan Thomas pressed the number 1 button on the landline,
"Chris, come in."
After a while, the female assistant opened the door and walked in, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
"You take Luke to go through the formalities of the criminal investigation consultant."
Chris looked at Luke in surprise, nodded, "I see."
Luke followed Chris out of the office. Chris didn't say much, but simply asked Luke if he had his ID card, and then took Luke to take pictures, fingerprints, registration, and formalities.
The journey went smoothly, and in less than two hours Luke got the certificate of the criminal investigation consultant of the FBI New York Office.
A brand-new black wallet with the FBI's coat of arms printed on it, with a somewhat complicated shape.
The three letters of FBI are printed below.
After opening, it was divided into two pages. The left side of the upper page was still the coat of arms, with the three bold letters of FBI printed in the middle, and Luke's photo on the right.
very handsome.
On the next page, there is a golden emblem, which is very beautiful. The emblem has an eagle on it and a shield below it.
Chris offered his right hand, "Consultant Li, welcome to the FBI."
"Thank you." Luke smiled and shook hands with the other party. Without the assistant in charge leading the way to give the green light, this certificate would definitely not be obtained today.
Luke returned to Negan Thomas' office.
Negan Thomas held a printed document with temperature, "This is Zhang Qilong's information."
"Thank you." Luke took the file and sat on the sofa to check it out, "I won't bother you."
"You can do whatever you want." Negan Thomas returned to the desk and started busying himself with his own affairs.
Ten minutes later, Luke finished reading the information, and instead of taking it away, he put it back on Negan Thomas's desk and took out a business card, "Director Thomas, this is my business card, you can call me if you need anything." .”
Negan Thomas also took out his own business card and handed it to Luke, "I will."
Negan Thomas got up and sent Luke out of the office, "If you encounter trouble in New York, come to me anytime."
"Thanks."
After bidding farewell to Negan Thomas, Luke greeted Chris again, and then got off the elevator to the lobby on the first floor.
After all, it was Luke's first time here, so he turned around and came to the back door of the building.
After exiting the back door, it happened to be the backyard parking lot that I had seen through the iron fence before. There were a lot of vehicles inside, including cars with FBI logos and ordinary vehicles.
Luke walked around the parking lot, stopped next to a black Citroen sedan, stared at the license plate for a while, and touched it with his fingers. There were some magnetized iron filings.
Luke touched the butt of the car and turned to leave.
He found his car, said hello to old Shaq, and drove away.
In the seventh-floor office of the FBI's New York office, Negan Thomas was standing by the window, holding a mobile phone in his right hand, and made a call, "Hello."
"Is the date going well?" Anthony's voice came from the phone.
"Fuck! What kind of weird tone are you talking about?" Negan Thomas snorted, "There are some minor problems."
"You didn't have a good time talking?"
"The talk is okay, but he should know that he is being followed by our people."
Anthony smiled, "As I said earlier, his criminal investigation skills are very good, otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it to you."
"Since you are so optimistic about him, why not let him join the Los Angeles office?"
"This kid is very capable, and he climbs fast. If I do something wrong one day, I might be pushed by him.
I don't want to find a successor for myself now, so that the people above have ideas that I shouldn't have.
But you are different, he is not a threat to you.
And he is nice, you can try to get along with him more. "
Negan Thomas didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Will you not commit crimes?"
"What's the point of that?"
...
Jimanxiang restaurant.
There is a closed sign on the door.
After eight o'clock in the evening.
Li Zhaofeng had already brought Jack home.
Li Zhaonian and his wife were sitting in the dining room, and they were not in the mood to receive guests.
The husband and wife hadn't eaten for a day, and they looked at each other speechlessly. What should be said has already been said, and those who can ask have asked, and the place to look for has been found.
They are really lost.
Li Zhaonian's only hope is that Luke can bring back news of his son.
It would be best if he could come back directly with his son.
"Da da……"
There was a sound of footsteps outside.
Li Zhaonian looked up and saw three young Asian men walking in from the door of the restaurant. The leader was Zhang Qilong's subordinate Lan Mao.
Li Zhaonian stood up, showing a flustered expression, "What's the matter?"
The blue-haired man looked fierce and kicked over the chair next to him, "Where is your son? Tell him to get out."
"What do you want from him?"
Lan Mao pointed at Li Zhaonian's nose and cursed, "That bastard killed our eldest Brother Long, let him get out."
The two younger brothers next to me also yelled,
"Just let the little bastard get out."
"Damn him."
Li Zhaoyear took two steps back, "There must be a misunderstanding. My son couldn't have killed someone. You must have made a mistake."
Lan Mao kicked over the table again, and cursed, "Did I give you a face, tell me where he is?"
Yao Xin's eyes were red, and she said angrily, "We all said we don't know.
Get out of the store quickly, or I'll call the police. "
"Report Nima..." The blue-haired man waved his hand and was about to slap Yao Xin, but Li Zhaonian hurriedly stood in front of him.
"Slap!", this slap hit Li Zhaonian's face.
Li Zhaonian was startled and angry, clenched his fists tightly, but he didn't dare to resist, he dragged his wife into the kitchen.
"Male Gobi, shameless, smash it for me, don't let me see a whole thing!" The blue-haired man waved his big hand, and led his two younger brothers to smash it in the restaurant.
Li Zhaonian stood at the door of the kitchen, with his right hand behind his back, and didn't stop him, just looked at them coldly.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?"
Suddenly, a tall black-haired man walked into the restaurant.
The three gangsters turned their heads to look, with unkind expressions on their faces.
Li Zhaonian reminded, "Luke, they are Zhang Qilong's subordinates. They said they were looking for Will, and they beat people and smashed houses as soon as they came in."
The blue-haired man rolled up his sleeves to reveal the tattoo on his arm, and picked up a chair leg on the ground, "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't be a hero."
Luke smiled and said, "Dude, we all live in Chinatown, we are all neighbors, so why bother.
If you want me to say, forget about it today.
Just do me a favor. "
"Ha ha……"
Both the blue-haired man and the younger brother laughed.
"Bah..." Lanmao spat, "I fucked you up.
If you don't leave, I will fight with you. "
Hearing this, Luke sighed softly, turned and walked towards the door of the restaurant.
A boy with a pockmarked face laughed and scolded, "You don't even look at how much you weigh, how dare you pretend to be big here."
The blue-haired man also curled his lips, and pointed at Li Zhaonian and his wife with the table leg, "Call that brat back quickly, otherwise no one who comes will be able to help you."
With a sound of "Wow...", the rolling gate was pulled down.
The blue-haired man pointed at Luke and cursed, "You're looking for death."
"I can't bear to leave such a lively party." Luke stretched his waist. After being suffocated for the past two days, he can finally feel comfortable.
It's been a long time since I updated this kind of chapter, and I'm really not used to it.
