Chapter 683 Shooting
Hearing these words, Luke had a bad feeling in his heart.
The "catch them all" in David's words is definitely not a small fight, it is a fierce fight.
Isn't it a bit too reckless to round up a gang just because of the suspect's words?
But then again, if you weren't reckless, you wouldn't be in the Anti-Gang and Anti-Drug Department.
Luke stopped the other party, "Wait a minute, now is not the time to do this. We have to find out first whether it was someone from the Viper Gang who killed Jones."
David also responded, "Do you suspect there is a problem here?"
Luke thought for a while, "It's hard to say. When I talked to Teddy Tucker, his mental state was very bad, full of panic, fear, and worry.
It's not like his concern for his family is fake.
I want to wait until he is emotionally stable before proceeding with the interrogation. "
David was silent for a moment, "Then what are we going to do?"
"Don't tell me you don't have an informant in the Viper Gang."
"Of course, but with Jones being killed as an informant, I'm not sure they're worth trusting."
Luke thought for a while, "There is no need to believe it completely. As long as we ask them to help find out the information, we can judge for ourselves whether Jones' death is related to the Viper Gang."
David nodded, "I'll take care of it."
Luke warned, "Remember, don't fight with the Viper Gang until you find out.
What if, and I mean what if Teddy Tucker lied.
Then, the real culprit is likely to be someone else, and the other party's purpose is probably to provoke the police and make the police and the Viper Gang fight. "
Upon hearing this, David immediately calmed down, "I understand, I won't touch the Viper Gang for the time being.
What about the scarred face? What are you going to do? "
“Send me the information on Scarface.
I'll watch the investigation. "
"Understood."
After David left, Luke sighed softly and sat on the chair to think.
If the Vipers really killed Jones, wouldn't they just kill the informant Teddy Tucker and no one would know about it?
And why keep this Teddy Tucker top tank?
The police are not fools. It would be difficult for Teddy Tucker to take on this matter alone.
Analyzing from this perspective, could someone deliberately lead the investigation to the Viper Gang?
afternoon.
Luke interrogates Teddy Tucker again.
This time Luke had Scarface's detailed information and photos, and with Teddy Tucker's identification, he determined that Scarface was the real murderer of Jones.
Of the other three accomplices, two are Scarface's younger brothers in the Viper Gang, and the identity of the other is unknown.
Teddy Tucker's mood was much more stable this time, and Luke saw no obvious signs of lying.
Scarface is a confidant of the Viper Gang boss. If Scarface is the real murderer, then the person behind the murder of Jones is probably the Viper Gang.
"Ding ding ding..." Luke's cell phone rang, and David's number was displayed on the screen.
"I'm Luke."
"An informant found traces of Scarface, and we met in the parking lot."
"clear."
Luke returned to the Robbery and Murder Division office and called on several team members to work together.
After arriving at the parking lot, Luke got directly into David's car and asked, "How's it going?"
David said as he started the car, "An informant found Scarface fighting on Kalisch Avenue in the western suburbs of Los Angeles."
"Who is Scarface fighting with?"
"The informant is not very clear either."
Luke asked, "Isn't that the Viper Gang's territory?"
"No, many people running to Mexico will choose that direction."
Luke said, “In the afternoon, I interrogated Teddy Tucker again, and this time he clearly identified Scarface.
Do you think Scarface was inspired by the Vipers? "
David fell silent and sighed, “It’s hard to tell.
It stands to reason that Scarface is the backbone of the Viper Gang and the confidant of the Viper Gang boss. It is impossible that such a big thing as killing Jones has nothing to do with the gang behind it.
Also, I haven't heard of any personal vendetta between Jones and Scarface.
But the strange thing is that several police informants in the Viper Gang did not hear any news about the Viper Gang wanting to kill Jones.
Although the status of these informants in the Viper Gang is not high, if the Viper Gang really kills Jones, they will definitely be prepared for police retaliation, and the gang will also take some corresponding measures.
But now the Viper Gang is business as usual, without any gathering or tense atmosphere, nor any mobilization or defense.
The police have no difficulty in sweeping away the Viper Gang. "
Luke said, "Can you talk to the boss of the Viper Gang?
If he dares to go to the police station, his innocence can be proven to a certain extent.
If we can get his help, maybe we can find out the real reason why Scarface killed Jones. "
"What you said makes sense. If the boss of the Viper Gang dares not go to the police station, it means there is something wrong with him.
At least he was in the know. David snorted, "If that's the case, there's no need for us to be polite." "
Half an hour later, Luke and the two arrived at Kalisch Avenue in the western suburbs of Los Angeles.
Patrol officers have cordoned off the scene.
After Luke got out of the car, he put on his police badge and asked a patrol officer, "What's going on here?"
The patrolman shrugged, "Sir.
We got a call saying there was a shootout nearby.
By the time we arrived, the gunfight had ended, leaving only two bodies, a damaged car and shell casings on the ground. "
Luke nodded, walked past the patrolman, and walked into the scene of the shootout to investigate.
Judging from the situation at the scene, the warring parties should be on both sides of the road. Two shot bodies were lying next to the car. Blood stained the road red. There were also a large number of bullet holes on the car. You can imagine how big the scene was at that time. fierce.
Luke walked over to the two corpses and took a closer look. They were Scarface's two younger brothers and the murderers who participated in the murder of Jones.
David also recognized the two corpses, "It's easier for these two bastards to die so easily."
Luke carefully observed the road and found four pools of blood around him, two of which belonged to the two deceased people. One of the other two pools of blood was not far from the body, and the other was in the opposite lane.
Luke guessed that there were other people injured at the shooting scene.
David came over and said, "According to the informant's information, Scarface was driving a Mercedes-Benz. The car was not found around. He may still be alive and drove away."
Luke said, "It's probably the person behind the scenes who wants to silence him."
"Woo..." At this moment, several cars drove over from a distance, attracting the attention of Luke and David.
The car stopped outside the cordon, and a group of Mexican men got out of the car. They all had the same tattoos on their bodies and walked toward the scene of the gunfight with ill intentions.
The surrounding police officers were immediately alert, with their right hands on their pistols.
Raymond stepped forward and stretched out his left hand to signal them to stop, "Don't go any further. This is a crime scene. Leave immediately."
A middle-aged Mexican man wearing sunglasses walked forward and pointed to his chest, "My brother is dead. As his family, shouldn't I come?"
David came over and looked at the Mexican man wearing sunglasses, "Oh, isn't this Carlo Rose, the boss of the Viper Gang?"
"It's me, Deputy David. I hope you can give me an explanation."
David smiled, "Explain?"
“Yes, my people were shot for no reason, isn’t it your LAPD that should be responsible?
Where is Scarface?
I want to see him. "
David shook his head, "It seems that what you do as the boss is a bit outdated and you don't know anything. You might as well give up your position to the people below and retire early.
Maybe even a small life can be saved. "
Carlo Rose said with a cold face, "You don't need to worry about my affairs. Just mind yourself, Deputy David."
Luke said, "Mr. Carlo Rose, if it is convenient, I would like to ask you to go to the police station to talk."
Carlo Rose looked at Luke, "Who are you?"
"My surname is Li, and I am from the Robbery and Murder Department. I am now responsible for investigating this case."
Carlo Rose said, "I got the news that my brother Scarface was shot and I am a family member of the victim."
"I understand, that's why we ask you to go to the police station to talk and find out who wants to kill Scarface.
Only by finding him as soon as possible can we ensure his safety, what do you think? "Luke plans to lure the other party to the police station first. If Jones' death is really related to the Viper Gang, he can capture the thief first.
Carlo Rose said, "Even without the help of the police, I can still find Scarface."
David smiled and said, "Are you afraid?
Does hearing the word police station make you so scared that you wet your pants? Coward. "
Carlo Rose shook his head, "I'm not interested in your provoking methods.
If you want me to go to the police station, give me a reasonable reason, otherwise, the brothers behind me will not agree. "
Luke stared at the other person, "Jones is dead. Is this a good reason?"
Carlo Rose showed a surprised expression, "Captain Jones?"
David said coldly, "Yes, Jones was killed by your people, that Scarface."
Carlo Rose took a breath, "Wait, are you sure it was Scarface who killed Jones?"
Luke said firmly, "The other suspect identified Scarface. There is no mistake."
Carlo Rose's expression immediately changed, "This has nothing to do with our Viper Gang. I swear, the Viper Gang has nothing to do with the death of Captain Jones.
I respect him and I respect the LAPD. "
Luke said, "Then come with us to the police station, and we will respect you as well."
"I said, Jones' death has nothing to do with me." Carlo Rose glanced at the younger brother behind him and took a step back intentionally or unintentionally.
“Then it’s even more important to come with us.
Only if you actively cooperate with the police investigation can the Viper Gang be cleared of suspicion.
The moment we learned that the murderer was Scarface, we already made a concession by not raiding the Viper Gang.
As the leader of the Viper Gang, should you do something for the gang? Luke glanced at his watch and said, "The decision is in your hands. I'll give you a minute to think about it." "
Carlo Rose broke out in a cold sweat. He knew exactly what the so-called choice was, either go to war or cooperate with the police.
Suddenly, he regretted coming here.
