LA Detective

Chapter 219 Long Overdue (Big Chapter)
The 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel.

There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the room, mixed with a faint smell of blood.

The shooter is dead, the question now is how to finish it?
This is not Los Angeles, but Las Vegas. To be honest, Luke's identity here is a bit embarrassing.

But judging from the results, he was right.

Luke broke into the hotel room and interrupted the gunman's firing.

After that, Lu Keguo disconnected the gun and wounded the shooter, who had no choice but to shoot himself.

No matter from which point of view, Luke is a hero in Las Vegas, and his heroic action will reap huge benefits.

Although it may seem snobbish, it is human nature.

Except for a very small number of people who are selfless and have compassionate thoughts, who would stop the other party at the risk of being killed by others when there is no benefit.

Luke took out his mobile phone and made a video call with Director Reid.

After a while, the video voice was connected, and Reid was sitting on the bedside, yawning, with a glass of whiskey in his hand, "Luke, shouldn't you be chic in a Las Vegas casino at this time? How do you remember?" Contact me."

Judging by the tone of voice, Reed probably doesn’t know about the shooting in Las Vegas yet, but think about it, he is the deputy chief of the Los Angeles Police Department. If Luke hadn’t been at the scene of the shooting, he would have had nothing to do with the case. no.

"Director, I have some small problems here."

Luke walked around the house with his mobile phone and took pictures of the scene to Rhett.

Rhett sat up straight suddenly, his drowsiness swept away, "Where are you? Aren't you on vacation? What the hell are you doing?"

Luke said, "Director, you should turn on the TV and watch the news from Las Vegas now."

Rhett got out of bed, turned on the TV, and asked, "Don't be silly, what happened?"

"I'm traveling in Las Vegas right now, and there happens to be an open-air music festival here.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, I was dancing in the square with other tourists, when I heard a burst of gunshots, I looked up and saw the 32nd floor of the hotel was blazing, guessing that there might be gunmen shooting at the square.

Afterwards, many people were wounded in the square, causing heavy casualties, and the situation at the scene was very chaotic.

At first, I thought the matter would end soon, but the gunfire lasted for a minute or two, and the gunman didn't mean to stop shooting at all. There were more and more injured people in the square, and the Las Vegas police never showed up.

At this time, I had locked the gunman's location, and I decided to stop the suspect's massacre.

I rushed to the room where the gunman was at the first time, kicked open the door, and exchanged fire with the gunman. I wounded the gunman's arm and thigh, and the gunman committed suicide with a pistol in his left hand. Luke explained while photographing the dead body.

"Director, this is probably the case, what should I do?"

Rhett asked, "Are you hurt?"

"I was shot in the chest, but I saw a police officer in Las Vegas on the 31st floor and took a body armor with a steel plate from him. Except for a little pain in the chest, there was nothing serious. hinder."

"You reckless bastard, I thought David was already reckless enough, but I didn't expect you to be more reckless than him." Rhett was a little bit dumbfounded,
"Where are the Las Vegas police? Why are you alone?"

"I only saw a Las Vegas policeman on the 31st floor. I want him to act with me, but he has to wait for orders from his superiors. I guess he is still waiting for support."

Rhett asked, "He is waiting for support? Why do you rush up alone? Are you not afraid of getting hurt?"

Luke is concerned, so naturally he is not afraid.

But this cannot be said to outsiders, and I found another reason, "I never thought that I could subdue the gunman alone.

I just want to go to the 32nd floor to investigate and see what's going on.

If the gunman still has accomplices on the 32nd floor, I will retreat and wait for support.

As a result, I went up to the 32nd floor, but I didn't find the gunman's accomplices. I searched the entire corridor and found no one.

Before, I observed downstairs and only saw one person shooting. I boldly guessed that the shooter might be one person.

Even if it is not one person, the number of people will not be too many.

Then, I found the room where the shooter was, broke in, got into a firefight, and that was it. "

Rhett said solemnly, "Luke, don't be so reckless in the future. When you come back, I must criticize you well."

"You are the boss, and when I go back, you can criticize whatever you want. But the question now is, what should I do?"

Reid hesitated for a moment, "Has the Las Vegas police not moved yet?"

"No, I guess we might discuss tactics downstairs."

Reid reminded, "You have to be careful, don't let these bastards treat you as a gunman, it's best to find a hidden place in the room."

"You're right." Luke sat down in the corner of the balcony.

The Las Vegas police rushed in and couldn't see it for the first time, and also avoided the exchange of fire and accidental injury between the two sides.

"Boss, what else do I need to do now?"

"Stay in the room, pay attention to concealment, don't run around, so as not to be accidentally injured by the Las Vegas police.

Then call 911 and explain the situation at the scene.

I will ask Chief Frank to contact the Las Vegas Police Department and explain your situation clearly, but it will take some time to pass it on.

Even so, don't take it lightly. The police officers in charge of the scene may not fully obey the orders of their superiors.

In critical moments, they can do anything, and they must be careful not to be accidentally injured. "

Luke said, "I see, I have been carrying a body camera, and it should have been uploaded to the cloud."

"Very well, it will be fine with this." Reid urged again, "Remember, you are now in Las Vegas, not Los Angeles.

There's no shame in being cowardly.

Don't confront the Las Vegas police head-on. Even if they want to search and temporarily detain for inspection, they are not allowed to resist, understand? "

"I remember." Although Luke was a little upset, he also knew that Reid was doing it for his own good.

"Finally, I have one more thing to say.

Well done! After Rhett finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Luke smiled and called 911.

After the phone was connected, a woman's voice sounded, "This is the 911 station."

"I'm at the Mandalay Bay Hotel right now, where there was a shooting that killed hundreds of people..."

Before Luke finished speaking, he was interrupted by the police officer, "I see, we have received hundreds of calls to the police, and the police and ambulance have arrived on the scene.

All you have to do now is protect yourself. "

Then, the phone was hung up.

"Dudu..."

Luke looked confused, I haven't finished yet, I...

Luke was also a little speechless.

After a while, Luke called 911 again.

But I couldn't get through, the line was busy all the time.

Luke was even more depressed.

"Dinglingling..." His cell phone rang.

Luke looked down and saw that it was his mother calling.

"Hey, mom."

"Damn it, thank God you finally answered the phone.

I saw the news that there was a shooting in Las Vegas, you are not in danger, are you? "

Luke smiled, "Mom, I'm a policeman. I haven't seen anything. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Linda obviously breathed a sigh of relief, "I read on the news that the gunman shot and wounded hundreds of people. It's horrific. As long as you're fine."

"Everything is normal here, how are you and the little fat man?"

"Our side is fine, when are you coming back?"

"Maybe the day after tomorrow."

"Come back early. I know you are a policeman, but this time the situation is too dangerous. Hundreds of people have been shot and wounded. The shooter doesn't care if you are a policeman or not."

Luke didn't explain any more, and echoed, "You're right, I will return to Los Angeles as soon as possible."

Luke glanced at the phone, "Mom, grandpa is calling too, I'll answer it first."

Luke pressed the answer button and said straight to the point, "Grandpa, I'm fine in Las Vegas, you don't have to worry."

Robert smiled. "I'm not worried. You're a cop. I know you can take care of yourself. Are you having fun over there?"

"Yes."

"That's good. I guess your mother will be worried when she sees the news, so come back early."

"I see."

Val said with a smile on the side of the phone, "Remember to bring me a gift when you come back."

"no problem."

Luke hung up the phone, and Xiao Hei's call came in again.

"Hey man, how's it going in Las Vegas? You're not hurt?"

"We also experience gunfire every day in Los Angeles. It's not like you don't know, what can happen?"

Xiao Hei said, "I just saw the news that there was a terrorist attack in Las Vegas, and hundreds of people were shot in the plaza.

You have to be careful, they are not ordinary suspects.

Probably a well-trained and well-equipped terrorist group, and they usually don't come out alone, so be careful. "

Luke asked back, "Are you alone now?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I'm going to make a voice video for you now."

Luke hung up the phone, dialed Xiao Hei's voice and video, and showed him the situation at the scene.

"My goddamn fak oil..." Xiao Hei burst out a series of foul words, "What the hell is going on with you?"

Luke went to the balcony again and patted the situation below.

Xiao Hei's voice came from the phone, "I can't see clearly... wait, you are not at the scene of the shooting, are you? No, this angle should be the room where the shooter is.

You participated in the process of catching the murderer, which is not right. Why are you alone at the scene, and you still play audio and video for me, don’t you need to keep it secret? "Xiao Hei gave a series of reasons, guessed the general reason, but couldn't believe it.

"Don't have so many questions, listen to me slowly." Luke glanced at the door, but there was still no movement outside, and there was probably something waiting.

Luke narrated the situation to Xiao Hei again.

Xiao Hei's eyes widened, still unbelievable, but the situation at the scene was so real, showing envy, "If I knew it was so exciting, I should have the cheek to go with you."

Later, Xiao Hei asked with some concern, "Aren't you worried about violating the confidentiality agreement by showing me the scene?"

Luke smiled, "I haven't signed a non-disclosure agreement in Las Vegas, and the situation is more complicated now."

Xiao Hei also realized the problem, "You have been at the scene for so long, what are the Las Vegas police doing?"

Luke glanced at his watch, it was already 35:20 in the evening, nearly 31 minutes had passed since the gunman committed suicide, "I don't know what they are doing. What I regret most now is that I didn't turn on the intercom of the police officer on the [-]st floor. Robbed."

However, Luke just thought about it. He had already snatched that guy's body armor. If he stole the walkie-talkie again, that guy would probably be really mad.

In addition, Luke didn't expect the Las Vegas police to be so useless, and there was no movement after so long.

This was something he hadn't thought of beforehand.

He had thought that Las Vegas police would follow after he subdued the shooter.

But the facts are quite different, and the Las Vegas police have not been seen until now.

Xiao Hei was concerned, "Then what are you going to do now?"

Luke asked without answering, "Do you still have contact with that female reporter?"

"Uh, how should I put it... I guess it's gone."

"I'll give you another chance. I've thought about the answer, okay?"

"Well, she has been pestering me all the time recently, maybe she is attracted by my charm, a girl like her is a bit cheap, if you treat her well, she may not care about you, and she will take advantage of you, but will interested in you.

Of course, it does not rule out the inclusion of some interests. "

"You've been talking nonsense for a long time, but you two are still in touch."

Xiao Hei felt a little guilty, "Don't worry, I have a sense of propriety, I just play with her, I won't take it seriously."

"You have returned to your scumbag nature?"

"Then what do you want me to do? Marry her? Hehe."

Thinking that Xiao Hei was going to marry the female reporter Pari Jones, Luke shook his head, "You should continue to be a scumbag."

Afterwards, Luke showed a serious look, "Now, I want to tell you something serious, listen carefully.

If I don't contact you within three hours.

You tell Pari Jones about it, but don't say too much at once.

Let's just say it might have been a Los Angeles police officer who subdued the gunman in a righteous way.

If I haven't contacted you tomorrow morning.

Just tell her who I am, understand? "

Xiao Hei frowned, puzzled, "You subdued the shooter by yourself, you are a hero, why did you make it seem dangerous."

"You're right, my biggest danger right now comes from the Las Vegas police.

Of course, there is a high probability that they will not do anything, but they must be defensive.

With such a serious shooting in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas police cowered and failed to subdue the shooter for 10 minutes after the shooting.

On the contrary, I, a Los Angeles policeman, killed the shooter, which was tantamount to slapping them in the face.

You still expect them to treat me as a guest of honor, as a hero?how is this possible? "

Although Reid also knew about it, and the Los Angeles Police Department would help Luke communicate, but Luke didn't know what the Los Angeles Police Department would do?What can be done.

Another one, sometimes Rhett's identity is a kind of restriction, and there are some things he can't do.

Luke used the method of walking on two legs. The power of the media is great. Once this matter is exposed, it can play a great role in promoting it.

Sometimes, Ye Luzi can have unexpected effects.

Luke did not violate any regulations by doing this, and it was compliant and reasonable. He was just chatting with his friends.

Xiao Hei said, "I see, my reporter friend will be happy to help."

Luke reminded, "Don't be stupid and tell her directly, it's best to get some benefits from her, and you can contact their superiors if necessary, don't give up this good opportunity to get extra money."

Xiao Hei hesitated, "Can I accept their money?"

"If it was the case we were in charge of investigating, it would definitely not work, but this time the situation is different. This is Las Vegas, and neither of us has signed a non-disclosure agreement."

Xiao Hei smiled, "I know."

Luke warned, "Just this once, don't do it in the future."

Xiao Hei nodded, "Don't worry, one time is enough."

Luke laughed and joked, "You and Pari Jones are a perfect match, it would be a pity not to get married."

Luke glanced at the phone, "I'm on the phone, I'll talk about it later."

"Okay buddy, I'll wait for your news and take care of yourself."

Luke hung up the video, glanced at the caller ID, it was his father Li Zhaofeng's number.

Luke pressed the answer button, "Hello, Dad."

"Luke, I heard there was a terrorist attack in Las Vegas, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, how do you know I'm in Vegas?"

"Your mother told me."

"You two are still in touch?" Luke was a little surprised.

"Even if we are divorced, we are still friends, and we have two children together. I have been paying attention to your growth, and she will communicate with me as soon as possible.

You're better off, the little fat man is not yet an adult, and will soon enter the rebellious period.

At his age... you really deserve a punch. "

Luke smiled, "I thought you were going to remarry?"

"No, I heard from your mother that you have a lawyer girlfriend."

"Well, are you going to urge the marriage, or do you have other good suggestions?"

"I'm not even successful in marriage, what good advice can I give you.

However, as a father, I still want to say an opinion that is not a suggestion.

Based on my many years of experience, one must be cautious when getting married, especially when the other party is a lawyer.

I know this is not something a father should say.

According to our Chinese tradition, I should encourage you.

But... this is not China, this is America. "

"Dad, thank you for your suggestion. Neither of us intends to get married."

"OK, as long as you are fine, go to bed early. I will go to Los Angeles to see you when I have time."

"Good night." Luke hung up the phone.

After Luke hung up the phone, Daisy and other colleagues also called to express condolences.

Before I knew it, it was almost 11 o'clock.

Luke walked to the door and looked out. He could faintly hear movement outside, but there was no one in the corridor.

He couldn't figure it out, it's been 40 minutes, what are the Las Vegas police doing?

If Reid hadn't warned him not to go out, he would have taken the initiative to explain the situation to the Las Vegas police.

Did these idiots go to have supper?
……

The 31th floor of the hotel.

There are a lot of Las Vegas police here.

In fact, they were not idle either, they were mainly evacuating the hotel guests.

In charge of directing the on-site operations is the Commando Captain of the Special Operations Bureau, Joson Kapok.

He ordered to a commando member, "Go and call the police officer who arrived at this floor first, I have something to ask him."

Soon, a white police officer was called.

"I'm Commando Captain Joson Kapok, are you the first to arrive at this floor?"

"Yes, Captain Johnson, my name is Kendy Bormie, and I have been reporting the situation to my superiors."

"Please describe to me the situation on the 32nd floor."

"The stairway door on the 32nd floor was locked, and I have never gone up, but I heard intensive gunshots. There must be more than one gunman. I suspect it was a gang crime.

There is another situation that I feel is necessary to mention.

At 32:[-] a.m., a lapd went up to the [-]nd floor. There should have been an exchange of fire with the gunman, and there was no movement after that.

I reckon that poor guy should be killed. "

Qiao Sen was a little puzzled, "Why is there a lapd here?"

"He's here for a tour."

Johnson shook his head, "Poor guy, this is Nevada, and the criminals here are not sissies like Los Angeles.

You should have reminded him that although he is impulsive, he is courageous. "

Kendy shrugged. "I stopped him, but he wanted to be a hero, so all I could do was lend him the body armor."

Qiao Sen patted him on the shoulder, "It's not your fault. We will avenge him and get your body armor back by the way.

Let those gangsters see how powerful LVPD is. "

Afterwards, Qiao Sen called the commandos over and began to arrange tasks.

According to Qiao Sen's guess, the door of the stairwell on the 32nd floor should have been opened by the lapd, and neither the gunman nor the body of the lapd was found in the corridor on the 32nd floor. Qiao Sen guessed that they should have exchanged fire in the shooter's room .

In this regard, Qiao Sen also arranged a careful plan. He felt that the gunman might be hiding in more than one room. In addition, they also made sufficient preparations for breaking the door. First of all, they used the door breaker. If the door breaker failed, they also prepared explosives. .

After everything was ready, Johnson took the fully armed commandos to the 32nd floor.

Qiao Sen stood at the stairs and checked the corridor on the 32nd floor, but found nothing suspicious. He was about to arrange the next step when the intercom rang suddenly.

Qiao Sen stretched out his right fist, made a stop gesture, and then walked aside to answer the intercom.

"Hi, I'm Johnson."

The expression on his face also changed again and again.

After a while, Qiao Sen finished the call and walked over with a gloomy face, "The plan has changed."

The black deputy captain next to him asked, "Captain, what happened?"

"That lapd is not dead."

The black vice-captain guessed, "Is that idiot being held hostage? He's really going to make trouble. Now there's another task of rescuing the hostages."

"No." Qiao Sen said after holding back for a long time, "He exchanged fire with the suspect, wounded the suspect, and the suspect committed suicide."

"What?" The black deputy thought he heard it wrong, "You mean he subdued the shooter by himself?"

"That's right, the director called just now and said that there was only one gunman. He is a lucky guy."

The black deputy team said, "The director is not at the scene, how did he know? Could it be a fake news sent by the shooter, a trap deliberately set?"

"It's unlikely. The chief of the Los Angeles Police Department personally contacted the chief of the Las Vegas City Bureau, and the news was conveyed layer by layer."

The black deputy said, "I don't think we can take it lightly, and we can't make fun of our brothers' lives."

Qiao Sen nodded, "You are right. Get the team members ready for a firefight."

Qiao Sen rearranged and asked the team members to go to the front to check, and found that the door of the room where the gunman was located was open, and he believed the news a little bit.

Then Qiao Sen went to the shooter's room and shouted, "Listen, people inside, you are surrounded, put your hands on the ground, don't move!"

"Hey guys from the Las Vegas Police Department, you're finally here.

I am Luke Lee, deputy captain of the Los Angeles Police Department. There is no danger at the scene. The gunman committed suicide after being wounded by me.

You can come in with confidence. "

Qiao Sen didn't believe it easily, "Stop talking nonsense, raise your hands, and walk to a place where I can see you."

"I'm really a lapd, don't let your guns go away."

"I will restrain my subordinates, you come out boldly."

"Fuck!" Luke cursed in his heart, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, he could only raise his hands, and walked slowly to the position facing the door.

Then, a group of heavily armed l policemen rushed in.

"lvpd! Don't move!"

"The toilet has been searched, it's safe!"

"Found dead white male."

"Safety!"

In the crowd, Luke also saw the white policeman hiding on the 31st floor, "Dude, you should have lent me the walkie-talkie."

The white policeman Kendy looked at Luke in disbelief, "I... thought you were dead."

"I thought you were out for supper."

Commando Captain Qiao Sen interrupted the two, "We are going to conduct a routine body search on you, you should understand, huh."

"It's not necessary, I'm also a policeman."

"There are too many police officers, and Maoxiong Country also has police officers. You have no law enforcement power here, and you shouldn't be at the scene of the shooting. Therefore, we just perform body searches according to the rules and cooperate."

Luke was upset, but there was nothing he could do, "Find a policewoman, I don't like being touched by men."

Then, a policewoman came over to search Luke.

"Hey, don't take my pistol and my police badge..."

"Give him the police badge." Qiao Sen looked at the things found on Luke's body, "Are you still wearing a law enforcement recorder?"

"got used to."

"I'm taking the gun and the body camera."

"That's the property of the LAPD."

"Don't worry, it will be returned to the Los Angeles Police Department after the case is clarified, but now this law enforcement recorder has captured the scene of the crime and needs to be kept by the Las Vegas Police Department."

Luke nodded, "Can I go?"

"No, you are also a policeman. You should be very clear. In this case, you need to go to the police station to make a record."

Qiao Sen pointed to the deputy captain next to him, "Take him back to the police station."

The black deputy captain made a gesture of invitation, "Dude, come with me."

Two commandos stood beside Luke, and he sighed softly, "You Las Vegas people are so warm, and you are welcome to travel to Los Angeles."

Luke left the room.

A group of Las Vegas policemen looked at the situation at the scene, looking around in a daze.

Qiao Sen punched hard against the wall, "fuck!"

　This chapter, you may feel a little absurd.

　　Luke stayed at the scene for several minutes before Las Vegas police arrived.

　　But the reality is like this, there is no logic to speak of.

　　……

　　Thanks to the book friends for the reward.

　　Although one chapter, but the word count is quite a lot.

　　I have the cheek to ask everyone for a monthly pass.
