LA Detective

Chapter 138 The Wind Rises from the Campus (Addition 1520)

Metzker Bar.

Rhett meets with members of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division.

Dinners in Los Angeles are generally AA, and there are occasional treats for a reason, such as promotion, salary increase, birthday, etc.

The last gathering was to celebrate Luke's promotion to inspector, and he paid for it.

This gathering is to celebrate his promotion to the police rank, and he should pay the bill if nothing else happens. Everyone can come to save face, and money is a trivial matter.

What Luke doesn't lack right now is money.

This is no bragging, he now has over $20.

Don't look at the high incomes of Los Angeles people, but there are very few people who can come up with so much cash.

Everyone sat around the long oval table, and Reid sat at the head of the table, his wine glass signaled, "Luke, congratulations on your promotion to the police rank, and you have taken another step forward."

"Thank you." Luke also took a sip from his glass.

Xiao Hei said enviously, "Chief, I'm one year older than Luke. I'm still a first-class police detective. When will I be promoted to the rank of police officer?"

"Don't worry, work hard, you have a chance, huh." Reid encouraged.

The deputy said with a smile, "If you put your mind on the woman and put it on the case, you might be able to participate in the promotion of the police rank with Luke."

Xiao Hei said dissatisfied, "Deputy team, I don't agree with what you said. I also helped a lot in the case of Courtney's murder. I have always firmly believed that Boris was the murderer.

No one is more determined than me on this point, but you are the ones who are vacillating. "

The deputy team pouted, "You believe that Boris is the murderer, neither from the perspective of evidence nor from the perspective of reasoning, but simply because you hate Boris.

Boris will not be convicted for your disgust, but for the evidence, understand? "

Xiao Hei argued, "Although I have no evidence, I did rely on reasoning... yes, I found him guilty based on reasoning."

The deputy team shrugged, "Just believe it yourself."

Susan interrupted the two, "Gentlemen, can we change the subject? We should talk about something light and pleasant after get off work, shouldn't we?"

"I agree." Luke turned around and asked, "Do you know any fun places? I want to go out with Daisy next time I'm on vacation."

Little underworld, "Which type, maybe I can give you some advice."

Luke said with a smile, "Those who can get close to nature, such as going camping in a beautiful place, sailing a boat to go fishing, and those who are further away are fine, as long as the leader is willing to approve the leave."

Xiao Hei thought for a while, "Forest Park is good, 50 miles away from the city, camping spots are easy to find, the scenery is beautiful, there is Cooper Canyon Waterfall nearby, and you can swim there, the only thing to watch out for is that there are bears. .”

"Sounds good, I'll try it." Luke yearns for the beauty of nature, but he doesn't care much about black bears. American black bears are the most courageous bears in the world.

As long as you open your arms, show a big appearance, and make the noise louder, there is a high chance of scaring him away.

There is an old saying in the United States, if the brown bear lies down, the black bear will fuck.

The deputy team took a sip of whiskey, "Speaking of sea fishing, I've only been there once, it's something for old men, it's not suitable for me.

You can ask Red, though, the guy loves it. "

Reid smiled, "Deputy team, it's not that you don't like it, it's just that the technology is too stinky."

The deputy team waved their hands, "I just can't stand those broken rules, those bastards even care about how many hooks I bring, I finally caught a fish, and I had to let it go because of the season.

Do you know how I felt at the time? "

Reid laughed, "Of course I know. The fish that can be caught are different every month. This is normal. I often release some fish. I think this is very good. You can change your mind."

The deputy team declined, "NO, you'd better take Luke, he might like it."

Rhett looked at Luke aside, "Have you ever fished in the sea before?"

"No, that's why I wanted to try it out. I've watched some sea fishing variety shows and found it very interesting."

Reid thought for a while, "It's a good thing to be interested. I'll ask the organizer of the sea fishing party another day. If he agrees, I can take you with me."

Luke was a little surprised, "You also participated in the sea fishing party?"

"Basically every week, I don't participate often, maybe once a month.

The number of people is not sure each time. It costs a total of 1500 US dollars to rent a boat. Sometimes we ask the crew to help sail the boat. Sometimes we take turns to sail the boat and go around the sea. The mood will be different.

The purpose of this gathering is mainly to reduce the cost of going to sea. "

"Sounds good, who is the organizer?"

Rhett smiled, "You have seen it too."

Luke was slightly taken aback by these words, he vaguely guessed something, and didn't pursue it.

"Dinglingling..." Xiao Hei's cell phone rang, and he answered, "Hi, baby...

I'm really having a party with my colleagues.

Of course, how could I lie to you?
David is here, do you want him to answer the phone? "

David kept his mouth shut, neither speaking nor refuting.

"OK, I'll be back in a while." Xiao Hei hung up the phone, "She's fine with everything, but she's too clingy."

David said, "Be content, kid, Luke has never taken the initiative to receive calls from his girlfriend."

Luke glanced at him, you have the right to say me?You are the one who is least able to deal with feelings, perfunctory,
"I think this is very good. Everyone has their own lives. We can go on a date once in a while. We can enjoy both being in love and being single."

Xiao Hei stared wide-eyed, "You are right, this is what I want. Can you teach me how to do it?"

Luke "..."

Are you stupid, you believe everything you say?

……

the following afternoon.

Malaboa High School is a co-educational day secondary school offering courses for grades 9-12.

The school has complete teaching and sports facilities, including science, biology, chemistry, physics laboratories, gymnasiums, weight rooms, basketball courts, libraries, etc.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, school is over.

Some students take AP electives, and some come to the library to read books.

Fatty Jack asked Maggie to come to the library to study. He said it was for study, but he didn't know what the little fatty was thinking.

The two whispered while reading a book.

"Maggie, why do you always read psychological books?"

"Because I majored in psychology, how about you?"

"Mathematics and Computer Science and Chinese Language and Culture."

"You're gifted at both."

"Haha, I should thank my dad for that."

"Isn't your dad in Los Angeles? You didn't come last time for your birthday."

"Yes, my father went to other states to develop, but our father-son relationship is very good. To be honest, I miss him a little bit."

"Although your father can't be with you, your grandfather, mother, brother and uncle love you very much.

I can see that you are very happy. "

Thinking of Val, the little fat man felt that he should add, "My uncle...Although he is not very popular, he has tried his best."

"I can tell." Maggie shrugged.

"Crack..."

The lights in the library went out.

Although it wasn't dark yet, the light in the library was relatively dark due to the design of the library, so the two of them changed their positions by the window.

"Why is there a sudden power outage?" Maggie frowned slightly.

"Pfft..." The little fat man laughed.

"What's wrong?" Maggie asked back.

"Suddenly remembered the night of my birthday, and I didn't know where the courage came from, so I kissed her directly.

To be honest, I regret it now. "

Maggie turned her head slightly, "What do you mean? It seems that you dislike me."

"NO, that's not what I meant, I was thinking that I should chew some gum in advance to make a good impression on you.

If we could change to another time, and no one would disturb us, our first kiss would be more perfect. "

"Oh, don't mention it, I'm almost dying of embarrassment. I dare not look at your mother, we kissed in front of her. If it was my father, he would definitely go crazy."

"Haha..." The little fat man smiled, and suddenly asked solemnly, "Maggie, when will you take me to see your dad?"

"Wait for the right opportunity."

The little fat man was a little disappointed.

"boom!"

A gunshot broke the silence of the library.

"what……"

"Get down!"

"Run."

"Bang bang bang!" There was another burst of gunfire.

The little fat man was startled, and grabbed Maggie, "Maggie, someone has shot, let's find a place to hide."

Maggie looked out the window, "The library has a glass door, so it can't stop the shooter at all. I heard the gunshots were still far away, so we can take advantage of this gap to escape." Maggie turned her head and looked at the little fat man holding Take out your phone, "What are you doing with your phone?"

"Call my brother, he is a policeman, he will definitely come to rescue us."

"Even if your brother is Superman, it's impossible to rush over immediately. We have to run out first. Instead of wasting time on the phone, it's better to save yourself." Maggie picked up the books on the shelf and planted them in her schoolbag.

The little fat man was taken aback, "What are you doing?"

"As long as the paper is thick enough, bullets won't be able to penetrate it, and carrying it on your back can save lives."

The little fat man said in surprise, "How did you think of it? It's amazing."

Maggie asked back, "Are you going to keep watching like this?"

The little fat man quickly came to his senses, took the book and planted it in his schoolbag, then zipped it up, "Should this be carried on the front?"

Maggie is just the opposite, "I suggest you stay behind, we are not fighting the shooter, we are running away."

"You're right." The little fat man also put his backpack on his back.

"Let's go." Maggie took the little fat man's hand and ran towards the door.

"Bang bang bang!" Another burst of gunfire rang out.

The library was already in a mess, some people were hiding under the desks, some were hiding behind the bookshelves, and some were desperately running out.

The two ran to the door of the library, and Maggie was watching at the door.

The little fat man saw a chair next to him, he lifted it up and smashed it down hard, the legs of the chair were smashed off, he picked up one and held it in his hand, waved it, "Maggie, you go to the back, I'll come protect you."

"Thank you." Maggie looked at the wooden stick in the little fat man's hand. "We are not fighting, but running away. Generally, shooters will attack people with weapons first. Are you sure you want to take this?"

"really?"

"At least I think so."

"You're right." The little fat man threw away the wooden leg, and took Maggie's hand, "Maggie, I'll scout the way ahead, you follow."

"Jack, now is not the time to shake hands. This will affect the running speed. You are not flexible enough, follow behind, and I will explore the way ahead." After Maggie finished speaking, she took the lead out of the library.

The little fat man was a little moved, but at the same time felt a little strange, how could he let a girl take care of him.

"boom!"

The gunshots started again, and I didn't care about thinking so much.

The little fat man ran after Maggie.

The roads Maggie chose were all covered, and she tried not to run to crowded places and try to stay away from black people.

"boom!"

Accompanied by gunshots, the two ran out of the campus without any risk.

Maggie looked around to observe the surrounding situation.

The little fat man sat down on the ground exhausted, "Maggie, you are amazing."

"Jack, it's time for you to lose weight."

fatty"……"

……

Robbery Murder Division.

One Squadron Office.

Luke is checking the information sent by Matthew.

The name on the information is Cabin Portia.

It was the thief who stole Luke Harley, and he was also the one who Luke wanted to sue for compensation.

Luke didn't intend to send it to Daisy, but was going to give it to her himself.

As long as things like computers are used, there will be traces. There is no need to make troubles, and I am not in a hurry anyway.

"Jingle Bell……"

Luke's cell phone rang.

He picked up the phone and saw that it was the number of the little fat man, "Hello."

"Brother, there was a shooting at our school."

"real or fake?"

"Are you listening carefully?"

"Bang!" Luke vaguely heard a gunshot, "Where are you? Is there any danger? Is anyone hurt?"

"I've already run away from the school, and I'm not in danger for the time being. I didn't see anyone injured, but I heard other students yelling to kill!"

"I see. You hide in a safe place. It's best to run towards home. I'll rush there now. Contact me if there is any situation." After Luke finished speaking, he strode into the captain's office.

Seeing Luke barging in without opening the door, Susan frowned, "What's wrong?"

"There was gunshots at Malaboa High School, and someone is suspected to have been killed."

Susan stood up, "Are you sure?"

"My younger brother is studying in that school. He just called. Captain, I want to go and see him."

"Is your brother in danger? Do you need support?"

"not needed for now."

"You take Marcus there first and keep in touch."

"Okay." Luke finished and left the office.

……

Ten minutes later, Luke found the little fat man, comforted him a few words, and let him and Maggie go home.

Only then returned to Malaboa High School.

At this time, martial law was imposed around the school.

Patrol officers arrived at the school minutes after the shots were fired.

There are a large number of police cars around, and the patrolmen have been surrounded.

Deputy Director Reid and Susan also rushed to the scene.

Luke found David, "What's going on?"

"Looking at what Director Reid means, it should be to let our team take over the case."

"When will the organization attack?"

"I don't know yet. I haven't heard gunshots since I arrived. Most of the students have run out. There should be a few hiding in the corner of the school. The situation is very complicated now. The gunman may have already run away, or he may have just Hiding among these students."

Luke turned his head and took a look. Reid, Susan and a few people were discussing over there. People in special operations teams had also arrived. They would be the main force to search the campus.
"How many school Y shootings is this this year?"

David sighed, "No. 16 cases, according to this data, it is likely to be higher than last year's 34 cases. This impetuous society."

Luke pulled out his pistol. "Someone got out."

"lapd!"

"Come out with your head in your hands."

"Don't run around."

"We are not shooters, we are students."

"For your safety, don't make unnecessary moves, we will verify your identity." A police officer shouted.

Subsequently, several patrol officers began to search the young men and women who claimed to be students.

A black male student resisted, "I am a student, not a suspect, so why do you search me.

I reject. "

"Now is a special period. In order to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you, the police have the power to search you in an emergency. Please cooperate."

As he said that, the male police officer pushed the black male student and began to search him. Suddenly he yelled, "He has a gun!"

After the words fell, all the police officers collectively drew their guns and aimed at the male student who was frisked.

Seeing so many guns, the black male student was immediately stunned.

"Di Di..."

Some yellow liquid flowed down his feet to the ground.

"Don't shoot, I don't have any bullets in my gun! I'm just playing with it." The black male student shouted.

The surrounding police officers had already held him down.

Some people backed away in disgust.

"fuck, this kid is scared to pee."

"Haha..." There was laughter all around.

Rhett yelled, "Be serious, this is not the time for jokes."

"Luke, interrogate this kid immediately."

"Yes, sir." Luke responded, and let the patrolman take the black male student with a gun aside.

Luke glanced at the male classmate, took the gun from the patrolman, checked the magazine, touched the temperature of the barrel, and smelled the smell, "What's your name?"

"Karim Andes."

"It was you who shot at the school?"

"I didn't shoot, I didn't do anything, the magazine was full, I didn't fire a single shot."

Luke said, "You can also reload after shooting. It's not that the gun is full of bullets, which can help you get rid of suspicion."

Luke raised his chin and said to Xiao Hei, "Do you smell gunpowder on him?"

Xiao Hei grabbed his arm in disgust and smelled it, "Now there is only the smell of urine."

Modern pistols have very little gunpowder residue, and even if the gun is fired, the nose can hardly smell it, and relevant identification is still needed.

"Karim, why are you carrying a gun?"

"To protect yourself, like this is the case today."

"If students are all carrying guns to school, it's going to be a mess. Whose gun is it?"

"I got Dad's."

"Your father acquiesced?"

"No, he doesn't know."

Luke asked the patrolman to take him for gunpowder residue identification.

Xiao Hei asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with this guy?"

Luke shook his head, "It's not a big problem. If he is really a murderer, he won't use his own gun. He would have disposed of the pistol long ago. It is impossible for the police to catch him with him."

Xiao Hei nodded, "Is this kid stupid? Why can't he just throw away the gun and run away."

Luke explained, "He can't throw it away, and the police can find it no matter which corner of the campus he throws it at. And if someone else picks up the gun and kills someone with it, he will also become a suspect. So, his best The way is to fool around and take them out."

Xiao Hei showed his original expression, "It makes sense."

Luke was not as optimistic as he was. Judging from the fat man's description, the suspect should have lost power before the gunshot.

In other words, the school's surveillance probably failed to capture the murderer's crimes, and such a situation would be very troublesome and complicated.

Just like the black boy with the gun just now, who can guarantee that he will not be suspected?
Things will only get more complicated inside the school.

Those students hiding in a corner of the school waiting for rescue are probably the suspects in disguise.

This greatly increases the difficulty of searching.

More importantly, it is necessary to screen one by one to prevent the suspects from being released.

Suddenly, Reid's voice sounded, "Ready to attack!
The action bureau is the main one, and other police officers are covering, pay attention to identifying the identity of the suspect, pay attention to safety, and avoid accidental injury.

action! "
