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

Chapter 703 Steve Chen’s identity

Li Bo’s face was solemn. He said, “Today, Mr. Li revealed what Tiffany Yang’s family does. Her father is not only a well-known entrepreneur, but also has a government position. Uh, you won’t understand even if I tell you. It’s similar to a US congressman…”

He asked, “Do you know the family background of other victims?”

Locke shook his head and said, “I didn’t pay much attention. What’s wrong?”

Li Bo replied, “I have a little guess, but I need to know more information!”

“Then wait for me!”

Locke put the pepper shrimp on the plate, took off his apron, walked out of the kitchen, picked up the phone on the dining table, and called Brian Smith.

After a while, WhatsApp received dozens of screenshots.

Locke flipped through a few pages and found that the family backgrounds of the 18 victims were not ordinary. Most of the victims’ families worked in the government, but he understood the positions in it.

Because some of the positions were actually city council speakers, although he didn’t understand China’s political system, he also knew that China did not have a city council, so he simply handed the phone to his father.

This operation was naturally illegal.

Well, Brian Smith sent him the screenshot of the transcript via WhatsApp, which was also a violation.

However, the rules have always been to constrain ordinary people, not the privileged class.

Obviously, it doesn’t include him either.

Li Bo quickly flipped through the screenshots of the transcript, his face became gloomy, he returned the phone to Locke, and said in Chinese: “Chen Hai is a traitor!”

Locke reminded: “Dad, his nationality is American!”

Li Bo sighed, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: “If I’m not mistaken, Chen Hai should be a CIA person!”

CIA?

How could it be related to CIA!

Locke stared at his father absent-mindedly, thinking that things had gotten out of hand.

If Steve Chen is CIA, then he might be in trouble!

Li Bo said in a low voice: “There is something I only told your mother. When I was studying at Yale, someone from the CIA came to me and wanted to recruit me to join the CIA…”

“…”

Locke understood immediately, suppressed his doubts, and showed a curious expression. He couldn’t imagine what it would be like for Li Bo to become a CIA agent.

He laughed and said, “CIA hopes you…”

Li Bo nodded: “Of course I refused at that time. As far as I know, CIA has invited many Chinese students. We discussed this matter later, but everyone was very secretive about it and didn’t mention it much!”

“But I think not everyone will refuse…”

Locke nodded: “Indeed!”

He already knew why Li Bo suspected that Steve Chen was a CIA agent.

He had been confused before. If Steve Chen was seeking money, then he didn’t cheat thoroughly enough and didn’t squeeze the value of the victim.

It’s just that the family stopped supporting him, and the victim can still make money!

No wonder this guy didn’t want to be arrested in vain!

He just didn’t want his identity to be exposed!

If Steve Chen was CIA, then he would have no motive to attack him. He just needed to reveal his identity or be arrested by LAPD.

Locke was a little confused. What should he do?

Li Bo said coldly: “Steve Chen clearly wants to leave a stain on these international students so that he can use this stain to control them. You know, most of them will work for the government after they return to China…” He paused, “Back then, your grandfather also hoped that I would return to China to take the civil service exam after graduation to bring honor to the family. This is one of the reasons why I stayed in the United States. I couldn’t accept that I studied professional knowledge for four years in American colleges and universities, and then went back to take the civil service exam. That means that the Yale diploma is just a stepping stone!” “…” Locke began to imagine how to face the CIA investigation in his mind. Damn, it seems that he and the CIA really have a conflict! Li Bo suddenly said, “The consulate should know about this…”

Locke was surprised and said, “What?”

Li Bo said helplessly, “Just think about how fast this matter progressed. I called them on Friday, and the case was handed over to LAPD through diplomatic channels on Monday. They must have discovered that the identity and background of the victim were not simple, but this is in the United States, and they can’t do anything, so they simply handed the case to LAPD…”

He smiled, “Hahaha, you LAPD have become pawns. They just want to use LAPD’s investigation of the fraud case to expose Chen Hai’s identity. This matter ends here, just pretend you don’t know. Anyway, after Chen Hai is arrested, the CIA will go to rescue him, and his identity will be exposed…”

“…”

Locke suddenly felt like he had fallen into a trap, and he interruptedLi Bo, “Dad…”

Li Bo looked proud, “What happened?”

Locke said, “Steve Chen is dead!”

Li Bo was stunned and said, “He’s dead, how did he die?”

Li Bo stared at him blankly, “You killed him? Well done, uh, you killed him?”

He quickly realized that something was wrong!

It was him who reported this case to the consulate. The consulate wanted to use the LAPD investigation to expose Steve Chen’s identity as a CIA agent, but Locke killed Steve Chen.

Why does Locke seem to have received some instructions to kill Steve Chen!

Li Bo instantly realized the seriousness of the matter. He stared at Locke and asked, “Why did you kill him?”

It can be imagined that their family will become the focus of the CIA.

Locke was also a little depressed. He never thought that Steve Chen would be a CIA.

He replied, “When I found Steve Chen, I saw that he had a gun in his hand, so I took the initiative…”

It’s not that he didn’t want to tell Li Bo the truth, but it was unnecessary.

He knew that a lie would become true after being told a hundred times.

If he couldn’t even fool his own people, how could he fool others?

Li Bo sighed and said seriously: “It’s okay, our family can withstand the investigation. I’ll call your mother and ask her where she is?”

Locke reminded: “We really can’t say anything about our speculation this time! It’s better if mum doesn’t know!”

Li Bo nodded and said: “I know the severity!”

He asked: “Do you want to call Mr. Greenberg?”

Locke comforted: “Dad, you said we can withstand the investigation, just tell the truth! Besides, Steve Chen’s identity is just our speculation…”

“Even if he is really CIA, we just did what I should do!”

“Besides, CIA has no law enforcement power in the United States. Even if there is an investigation, it is the FBI. The Los Angeles FBI is our own people, it’s okay…”

Damn, this time it’s really…
