North America’s toughest police: starting with the Los Angeles Patrol

The so-called administrative leave is actually a name of beautification.

If it is suspension investigation, it may be more intuitive.

After Locke got the car, he went straight to the Wilshire Police Station. Anna Davis arranged his investigation procedure in the morning.

Although Locke had experienced this kind of investigation procedure once, he was still a little unhappy when he thought about facing it again.

Because this set of procedures basically treats him as a criminal suspect.

The American judicial system has always been implementing the so-called procedural justice. Although this seems to be fair and just, for Locke, it is a kind of unnecessary effort.

This incident is so clear, but it still has to go through the so-called procedure, which is simply a waste of taxpayers’ money.

Last time, he had been acting in the psychological trauma stage after the first murder, silent and taciturn, and he dealt with this set of procedures with the same expression, and also received a lot of sympathy and comfort.

“Hi, Locke…”

“Locke, well done…”

“Locke, thank you for your bravery…”

“…”

Back at the police station, Locke found that more colleagues greeted him.

This time, Superintendent Mona accompanied Locke to complete the investigation procedures. Because Nathan was also suspended, she stayed in the police station to take charge of internal affairs.

Like last time, Locke first met his lawyer, uh, actually the lawyer of the police station.

With the help of the lawyer, Locke completed the statement of this incident, which was given to the prosecutor.

After meeting the lawyer, the representative of the police union came next. This representative just told Locke the amount of his insurance compensation in different situations. For example, if he was sued, the union would pay for his lawyer’s fees.

After the union representative, it was the internal affairs department that everyone in the police station hated. Locke also hated it, more than the district attorney.

This superintendent named James was from the internal affairs department of the Western Branch. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked: “Do you know Jack Harlan?”

Locke was stunned and asked: “Who is this?”

James replied: “It’s the gunman you killed!”

Locke shook his head, “No…”

It turns out that this little Karami is called Jack Harlan!

Even more useless than Avadia, with only 50 justice points and nothing else. He almost thought that there was no change in the panel last night.

James wrote twice in his notebook and said, “I have read your transcript. Why did you find that Jack Harlan was following you? You should know that there is also an old policeman with 22 years of police experience in your group. He did not find Jack Harlan’s tracking…”

Locke hesitated for a moment. He couldn’t say that David was old and lacked vigilance.

He replied, “Because I found two trackings recently, I am very sensitive to tracking…”

James showed an excited expression, like a bored hyena suddenly saw a giraffe pooping, he couldn’t wait to ask, “Why were you followed?”

Locke frowned and said, “Sir, this matter has nothing to do with this investigation!”

James said seriously, “Officer, the investigation and inquiry of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is never limited to specific cases. As long as we find doubts, we have the right to investigate…”

Locke had no choice but to tell Tom Williams about his tracking and monitoring.

James felt a pain on his face after hearing this. He thought he had caught something incredible, but he didn’t expect to involve Tom Williams of the Detective Bureau.

He closed his notebook and said, “I will verify this with the Detective Bureau. Do you think you had other ways to stop Jack Harlan from shooting besides shooting?”

Locke corrected, “Sir, I didn’t stop Jack Harlan from shooting. He still shot. It was only because my shouting interfered with him and made his gun deflected, so Nathan Fillion saved his life…”

James shrugged and nodded, “OK, I’ve finished asking questions. Thank you for your cooperation and thank you for your heroic action this time, saving a LAPD. Thank you!”

When they reached the door, he turned around again, took out a business card and handed it to Locke, “This is my business card. If you remember any additional information, you can call me at any time…”

Locke stood up and watched James leave. His eyes flashed. He clearly realized that this time the procedure was much easier than last time.

Locke rested for a few minutes, and the district attorney led the independent auditor of the Los Angeles Police Department and his lawyer in.

The district attorney informed Locke that he would be prosecuted, and whether he would need to appear in court would depend on the results of the investigation.

This means that if there is no doubt in the entire investigation, it is a procedure to go through. If there is any doubt, Locke will need to appear in court to accept the prosecutor’s questioning.

The questions asked by the prosecutors were similar to those of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but they were more detailed.

For example, did Locke know Jack Harlan, did they have a grudge against each other, etc.?

They also asked whether Locke had other non-lethal weapons at hand at the time, and whether shooting Jack Harlan was the only option?

Well, these questions seem stupid.

But, this is the procedure.

…

After the investigation and questioning, in order to ensure the fairness of the investigation results, Locke did not stay in the police station and left the police station directly.

His administrative leave also officially began.

Locke first went back to Gran Apartment, where he had found a good place to hide money.

In Gran Apartment, on the same floor as him, there was a young Japanese woman named Suzuki Nami, who was one of his former sex partners.

Suzuki Nami used oriental aesthetics and looked sweet and cute, but she was too short, only 1.55 meters tall, and her figure was the type of thin branches with big fruits, which was also attractive.

Locke refused at first, always feeling guilty, but once they drank sake together, he couldn’t help it and had sex with Suzuki Nami, and almost got into trouble.

The sizes didn’t match at all, and he was so scared that he didn’t dare to have anything to do with this woman anymore.

However, Nami Suzuki couldn’t forget him, and she sent him messages every now and then on WhatsApp, with a completely girlfriend tone, which was very morbid.

At first, Locke thought that this woman had a special fetish, but later he searched and found out that Japanese women had genital worship, and then he understood why this woman was even more obsessed with him after almost getting into trouble that time.

Because they were in the same apartment, Locke couldn’t be too decisive, and he never added her account to the blacklist.

The day before yesterday, Nami Suzuki left a message to Locke, saying that she was going back to Japan for two months, and asked Locke to take care of himself and not to miss him.

She also mentioned again that she wanted to drink sake with him after she came back.

Nami Suzuki’s text message gave Locke inspiration, and he immediately decided to hide the more than 2 million US dollars he got from Awadiya in Nami Suzuki’s apartment. He believed that in two months, he could get a safe house.

He was going to finish this last night, but something unexpected happened and Marian called him to force him to go home, so he was delayed.

When he returned to the apartment, it was working hours and there were no people on the entire floor.

Locke walked into Suzuki Nami’s apartment with his travel bag, but he noticed that there was a camera in the room just as he was about to walk in. It seems that Japanese girls also have basic security awareness.

He quickly hid in the entrance, put down his travel bag, and turned off the power of the floor when he went out.

He returned to the room again, and then he didn’t feel the camera’s gaze.

Because he had practiced in his room, Locke quickly unscrewed the cover of the central air conditioner on the ceiling and stuffed the travel bag in.

After cleaning up the traces, he installed a hidden wireless camera.

Then he left the room and turned on the power of the floor, which took no more than two minutes.

After returning to the room, Locke felt relieved. In the past few days, this bag of money has been hanging in his heart, for fear that it would be discovered.

This is also why he reacted so strongly after discovering that Tom Williams had been monitoring him again and again.

Because he not only has secrets, but also things that are shameful to be revealed.
