Chapter 680: Calling for Help

On the morning of January 4th.

Larson's Pawn Shop.

A black Challenger parked on the side of the road, and Luke and David stepped out of the police car.

David laughed and said, "You know what? I suddenly found the feeling when we were partners together again, haha."

"Spare me, I don't want to wipe your ass anymore." Luke waved his hand.

"But you have to admit that you also learned a lot from me, right?"

Luke asked, "Kick the door?"

"Ha ha……"

Both laughed.

Luke glanced around, locked onto Larson's Pawn Shop, and said, "We're here."

"I bet this is definitely a den for collecting stolen goods." After David finished speaking, he walked to the pawn shop first.

The United States is the only country in the world that has pawn shops before it was founded, and they have always kept pace with banks.

After more than two hundred years of vicissitudes, the United States has become the country with the most developed pawn industry in the world.

Many pawn shops engage in shady business, such as collecting dirt.

Such people usually have gang backgrounds, and usually the police will not touch them.

If you catch this stolen goods den, a new stolen goods den may appear the next day.

Therefore, as long as what they do is not too excessive, the police rarely take stern measures to rectify them.

An old white man sat inside the bulletproof glass counter of Larson's Pawn Shop. He watched Luke and David walk into the store and asked, "Good morning, gentlemen."

David showed the police badge on his waist, "lapd!"

The old man put on his glasses, looked at Luke and asked, "Two police officers, what do you want at our pawn shop?

If you want to pawn an item, I will definitely give you the most suitable price. "

David took out a photo from his pocket and put it on the counter, "Have you seen this watch?"

The old white man picked up the photo, looked at it, and shook his head, "No, I haven't seen it."

David twisted his neck and said sternly, “Listen, I’m not here for a routine inquiry.

We've got word, this watch is at your pawn shop.

If you lie, we will apply for a search warrant and you should know the consequences..."

Most pawn shops are directly or indirectly engaged in gray business and cannot withstand raids at all.

The old white man picked up the photo and looked at it carefully. "Wait a minute. I'm not here every day. Someone else may have collected it. Let me check the pawn record."

David hummed, "Don't keep me waiting too long."

The old white man walked to the side of the counter, turned on the computer, and after some operations said, "Yes, I found the record.

A few days ago, our pawn shop did acquire a watch. I was on vacation at the time and it was not my responsibility. "

"when?"

"December 29th."

"Who is the pawn?"

"No record."

"Then think carefully and don't fool me with your nonsense about not being there, understand?" David's tone was unkind and he was already a little impatient.

The old white man thought for a while and replied, "I remember that the people who came to pawn were two black people, a man and a woman, both very young.

The man was wearing jeans and a gray top with a hood.

The woman has an afro and a plump figure.

That's all I remember. "

Luke glanced at the roof, "Do you have surveillance here?"

The old white man shook his head, "No.

However, the convenience store next to us has surveillance, you can go there and try it. "

David waved his hand, "Bring that watch."

The old white man said, "I don't know why you investigated that watch, but that watch was acquired legally by us and we paid..."

"Shut your stinky mouth!

The watch was a relic of a police officer.

The officer died and his belongings turned up in the pawn shop.

I have enough reason to suspect that his death is related to your pawn shop. David waved his hand and said to the men on the side, "Take this old man back to the police station." "

"Wait a minute, I'll give you the watch right now." The old white man immediately surrendered and hurried back to the store. After a while, he held a delicate box in his hand. After opening the box, inside was a Rolex with a dark green dial. watch.

David took the watch and asked, "How much was this watch pawned for?"

"Five hundred dollars."

David cursed, "You bastard are so black!"

He was sure that the old white man knew it was stolen goods when he bought it. He said with some boredom, "Take this old slicker back to the police station."

The old white man was a little timid, "I've already given you my watch."

"If I let you go so easily, Jones will definitely be unhappy if he finds out." David ordered the men on the side, "Interrogate carefully. This guy may know the person who pawned the watch."

"Understood, I will take good care of him for Boss Jones."

…

Then, Luke went to a convenience store not far away to call up the surveillance on December 29. He saw a pair of black men and women who matched the suspect's characteristics and took screenshots of their facial features.

Although there are clearer images, their identities cannot be confirmed.

Luke had the image sent back to the police station for comparison with a facial database.

David asked, "What do we do now?"

Luke replied, "Facial recognition and comparison will take some time. Investigate other clues first."

“Come on, by the time the facial recognition database comparison is successful, the suspect may have run away.

I have a better way. "

"any solution?"

"Come with me." David waved and shouted to everyone, "Guys, get in the car.

We went to visit friends from a nearby gang. "

After David got in the car, he turned right at the intersection ahead. After driving for a while, he turned into a narrower street.

There are many vehicles parked on both sides of the street, and many black people gather in groups to chat, smoke, and barbecue.

After several police cars drove into the neighborhood, they immediately attracted many black people to watch. David parked the car in front of a bar, then jumped out of the car, looked at the black people gathered, and said with a smile, "Good afternoon, asshole. them.

Come over and stand in two rows, let me take a good look at you. "

The rest of the police officers also got out of the car one after another. Everyone was wearing body armor and holding weapons in their hands, looking warily at the gang members around them.

The black people around showed dissatisfaction and yelled, "Fuck! You are the bastards, why did you come to our territory?"

"We are not cowards and we are not afraid of anyone."

"You damn bald guy, shut your stinky mouth."

"This bastard looks so arrogant. Can anyone tell me who he is?"

The movement outside attracted more people.

A bald black man smoking a cigar came out of the bar and looked at David and his group with a solemn expression on his face, "Isn't this David's deputy team?

Why is there such a big battle suddenly?

I hate it when people come to my place and cause trouble, and so do my brothers.

It's better to put away your weapons and go to the bar for a drink. "

David joked, "You don't mix water with wine, do you?"

"You'll know after you come in and try it."

"If it doesn't taste good, I'll smash the bar." David smiled, gave some instructions to the police officers around him, and then entered the bar with Luke.

The black man smoking a cigar breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Luke, "What is the name of this police officer?"

David said, "His surname is Li, and he is my partner." Then he said to Luke, "This is Douda Burke, and he is in charge of this neighborhood."

The black man smoking a cigar led the two people to the bar and whispered, "Deputy David, I respect you, and I hope you can respect me.

If anything happens, wouldn't you like to contact me privately?

Why does it have to be such a big battle? "

"Jones is dead."

Douda Burke opened her mouth wide, "Dead! Is it true?"

"Do you think it's necessary for me to make such a vulgar joke to you?"

"Oh my God...this is so..." Douda Burke didn't know how to express herself, so she took a deep breath, "Is there anything you need me to do?"

David took out photos of the two suspects and said, "These two people are hanging out in your territory, help me find them."

"Why are you looking for them?"

“These two bastards sold Jones’ watch to Larson’s Pawn Shop.

I suspect they had something to do with Jones' death. "

Douda Burke took a breath and looked at the photo carefully, "Sorry, I don't know them."

David tapped his fingers on the photo, "Help me find them."

"I can try, but there's no guarantee."

“Fuck!

Don't do this to me, don't think I don't know about your relationship with Larson's Pawn Shop.

If you can't find these two bastards, you know what the consequences will be. "

"But I really don't know them?"

"Then go find it."

"give me some time."

"how long?"

"Two days."

David shook his finger, "I only give you one day, and I want to see these two bastards tomorrow morning.

If you can't find them, you know the consequences.

Don't put any conditions on me, just do what I say. "

"Time is too tight..."

"Then do it now and wait for your news." After David finished speaking, he stood up and left the bar.

Luke also followed him out of the bar, scanning the surrounding gang members and seeing no one who looked like a suspect.

Douda Burke watched the two people go out. There was silence for a long time, and her expression changed again and again.

A black man wearing a gold chain walked in and said, "Boss, those damn cops are gone."

Douda Burke grabbed the cup on the bar and slammed it on the ground, "Fuck! This damn bald head!"

Sooner or later I want him to look good! "

The black man wearing a gold chain asked, "Boss, are we going to do something?"

"Gather all the brothers together."

The black man wearing the gold chain was shocked and asked, "Boss, are you ready to... start a war with those policemen?"

Douda Burke glared at him, "Yes, I'm going to let you carry TNT on your back to blow up the Los Angeles Police Department.

what do you think? "

The black man wearing the gold chain took a step back and said with some embarrassment, "Boss, you really know how to joke."

"You idiot."

Douda Burke picked up the photo on the table and threw it on his face, "Let the brothers find the person in the photo, immediately, immediately!"
