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

It has to be said that the treatment of the detective is completely different from that of ordinary patrolmen.

In the previous inquiries, the civilian staff of the police station called him and told him the time of his inquiry and the procedure was very formal.

This time was completely different. When Locke walked into the office, only Amanda Lewis was there, and the others should have gone to the scene.

When Amanda Lewis saw Locke, she immediately stood up and said, “Locke, do you need me to arrange your investigation now?”

Locke was stunned for a moment and nodded, “Ok, no problem!”

Amanda Lewis made a phone call, and after hanging up, she said, “The lawyer will be here soon, I’ll make you a cup of coffee first…”

Locke shook his head with a smile, and the treatment seemed to be getting better and better.

After a while, Locke brought a fragrant Jamaican coffee and saw his lawyer this time, a white female lawyer, dressed like a standard elite lawyer, in her 30s, graceful and capable.

Locke saw the former Marian in her, and felt very friendly, so he asked Amanda Lewis to bring in a cup of hand-brewed coffee.

The female lawyer introduced herself, “Hello, Detective Locke, I am Catherine Wells, the lawyer assigned by Harman Law Firm for your case. I am happy to serve you…”

It is strange that Harman Law Firm is not ranked high in Los Angeles, but this law firm has undertaken many legal agency commissions from government departments.

Marianne had previously thought about snatching the LAPD’s agency commission, but after consulting Anna Davis, she gave up the idea because the water behind Harman Law Firm is very deep.

Locke is naturally familiar with the investigation and inquiry procedures. With the help of lawyer Catherine Wells, he completed the statement of the shooting.

In most cases, as long as the evidence is conclusive, the police officer’s shooting procedures are legal and compliant, and the prosecutor accepts the police officer’s statement, the police officer does not need to go to court.

Katherine Wells looked very professional. After reading the investigation report and the autopsy report, she took a sip of coffee and said confidently: “Detective Locke, there is no problem with your shooting this time. There are multiple fingerprints of the suspect on the gun, indicating that the gun was used by the suspect many times, and the gun is still an unregistered black gun…”

“The testimonies of the two groups of witnesses are very favorable to you. After you fired the gun, you checked the suspect’s physical condition as soon as possible, which fully shows that your purpose of shooting was not to kill the other party…”

“The suspect is one of the masterminds of the organized fraud case. He was evading the pursuit of the LAPD at the time. After you found his trace, he had the motive to kill you…”

“The prosecution will not embarrass you…”

Locke stood up and personally sent lawyer Katherine Wells to the door, “Lawyer Wells, thank you for your professional service…”

“Glad to serve you!”

Katherine Wells handed out a business card, “This is my business card, but you may not need this business card…”

Locke understood immediately and knew that Katherine Wells knew his background. The Los Angeles lawyer circle is really small!

He glanced down and found that Katherine Wells was actually one of the partners of Harman Law Firm.

Katherine Wells extended her hand to Locke, “Locke, nice to meet you, say hello to Marian for me!”

Watching Katherine Wells leave, Locke’s eyes flashed with understanding. Katherine Wells must have taken on this case specifically because she wanted to meet him.

After meeting the lawyer, the next person should be the LAPD union representative, but Amanda Lewis said the next person is the Internal Affairs Department.

The Internal Affairs Department came with a black superintendent, who grinned at Locke as soon as he came in, “Detective Locke, we only need to go through a process, no need to be nervous…”

Locke saw that the Internal Affairs Department superintendent actually smiled at him, and his heart tightened subconsciously, but then he thought of Xiao Hei.

Thaddeus Martin’s father is the commander of the Internal Affairs Department, and he figured it out immediately.

After routinely asking about the shooting process, the black police superintendent ended the interrogation, “Detective Locke, I will submit the investigation report as soon as possible, thank you for your cooperation!” After sending off the black police superintendent from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Locke returned to the office with a coffee cup and asked curiously, “Why is there no union?” According to the inquiry and investigation procedures, the LAPD union representative will come to tell Locke about his rights during administrative leave. He will also tell him what protection the union will provide if he is sued. Amanda Lewis shrugged and said, “You will end your administrative leave soon, so there is no need for the union representative. By the way, Captain Cole Badman asked you to go to him after the inquiry…” “Okay!” Locke was helpless. Madeline Hill, this woman, just wanted to exploit him. Cole Badman’s officeThe chief of the Robbery and Homicide Division returned Locke’s badge and PC card to Locke, “Locke, according to the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, your shooting incident is in accordance with the procedure. We will end your administrative leave and require you to return to the team immediately…”

“Yes, Sir!”

After leaving Cole Badman’s office, Locke called Madeline Hill, “My inquiry investigation is over. Where should I go to find you?”

…

Locke drove his F150 Raptor away from the police station. Not long after, he found a black Chevrolet Suburban following him. He had seen this car before.

Fuck, it came to the door so quickly!

Locke parked the car on the side of the road with a grim expression, and the Chevrolet Suburban also stopped behind him. A black man in a suit and sunglasses came down from the passenger seat. It was Steve Brooke, the senior CIA agent he had met last time.

Steve Brooke walked to the driver’s seat, Locke lowered the window, and said coldly: “Agent Brooke, you should be glad that I recognized your car…” Steve Brooke explained: “Detective Locke, don’t get me wrong, we originally wanted to go to the police station to find you, and we just happened to see you driving out, we didn’t deliberately follow you!” He asked: “Detective Locke, can we chat for a few words?” Locke said noncommittally: “Get in your car? Then go to a secret base of the CIA!” “Hahaha…” Steve Brooke laughed and went directly to the co-pilot side. After Locke unlocked the car, he opened the door and got in. The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he stared at Locke with scrutiny, “Inspector Locke, you don’t seem surprised to see us at all!” Locke was calm and said sarcastically, “You guys have always been so sneaky, and suddenly appeared out of nowhere…” Steve Brooke was not angry at Locke’s sarcasm, and shrugged, “It seems that Inspector Locke has a prejudice against our CIA!” His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said suddenly, “Steve Chen is our CIA agent…”
