Chapter 1057 Suspect, Fudge's New Client
After coming out of the Intelligence Department, Luke received a call from Dustin and went directly to the fifteenth branch.
The headquarters has just received news that one person survived last night when the Irish gang was destroyed, but the guy slipped away at that time.
Now, the lucky guy named Elijah Groth took a lawyer to the fifteenth precinct and asked to be a tainted witness.
Luke and the two were not surprised by this kind of coquettish operation.
What happens in the police station often goes against the normal logic of most people.
Because most people did not commit a crime, if the psychological state of innocent people was substituted into it, they would naturally feel that what those criminals did in the police station was stupid.
In fact, these people do have many patients with brain disabilities, but it is more out of practical considerations, but the law-abiding people can't understand the feelings.
Does Elijah Groot like this one really want to change his mind and become a new person?
Luke just looked at him at the door for a moment, and then closed the door.
This person's heart contains all kinds of emotions of panic, despair, fear, and prayer, but there is only no regret.
He is a hopeless criminal, and now he just wants to live, but he has no regrets.
Closing the door, he faced the two acquaintances standing by the door and said helplessly, "Fudge, Karen, how could you take this case?"
Fudge and Karen looked at each other, and Fudge said, "We were playing pool at the bar last night, and Grote took the initiative to find us and revealed that the Irish gang was killed."
Luke frowned: "Last night?"
Fudge hesitated, then whispered, "This is just a conversation between friends, right?"
Luke laughed, stopped the little fat man's shoulder, and whispered: "Of course, the old rules. It will never appear in any official records."
Fudge explained the situation more quietly.
In fact, it was really a helpless move for Grote to come to the police station today.
He was shot last night when he went to Matt and Fudge, and he collapsed after a few words with them.
Fudge, they can only send him to the Metropolitan General Hospital,
As a result, the attackers arrived not long after, and chased Grote and Karen out of the hospital.
After the two narrowly escaped, Fudge and the others could only ask Grote to come to the police station to seek self-protection.
Luke looked at Karen in surprise and looked up and down: "Are you all right?"
She was just a girl in her twenties. She was brave enough to be chased and shot without being scared to pee, and she was able to run away with Grote.
Is this also a potential female man?
Although Karen was a little tired, her mental state was relatively stable, not like she was shot last night.
Karen shook her head: "It's okay."
After hesitating for a while, she still explained in a low voice, "I feel that the person is only here for Grote, and I am not his target."
Luke: "He?"
Karen nodded: "I saw the man who was chasing Grote, a white male, about thirty-five years old, with an inch head, a fierce appearance, and a strong body."
Luke: "That means the attacker's appearance should be photographed by the hospital's surveillance?"
Fudge shook his head: "No. When he came in, the monitoring lines and lights in a large area of the hospital were faulty. Perhaps only Karen could see it better."
Luke nodded: "Understood. Karen, don't talk to anyone about this for now. The police asked you, and you said you were frightened and couldn't remember."
Karen couldn't help but glance at Fudge.
Fudge, who is a doctor of law from Columbia University, immediately explained: "It's normal for people to be frightened and have memory confusion in a short period of time, so you can stop talking, or you can add an explanation of the situation at an appropriate time. It's not a false confession."
Having said that, he paused and looked at Luke with embarrassment on his face.
It seems a bit too much for him to discuss this little trick in front of two police detectives?
Luke nodded as usual: "This case is a bit troublesome. Before there is any major progress, Karen had better not mention it, and if it is mentioned, it may not be able to catch people, but it will bring a lot of trouble. Well, Grote should also Did you see the attacker?"
Fudge smiled wryly: "He said he was frightened, can't remember."
Luke spread his hands with a smile: "Look, how skilled they are in this little trick. By the way, what about Matt?"
After saying this, Karen was fine, Fudge's face was a little ugly, and he forced a smile: "He's a little uncomfortable, he's resting at home."
When Luke saw Fudge's expression, his heart suddenly burst: This excuse sounds familiar! Isn't lawyer Ma injured again?
However, Fudge didn't say that he didn't ask questions, just nodded and said: "This case is not easy, the Irish gang may not be the only ones to be massacred, you have to be careful about your personal safety."
Fudge: "What's going on?"
Luke: "The next thing is a private chat,?"
Fudge Conditioning: "."
"I checked the information, and in the past six months, several gangs have been attacked by similar methods, and more than 20 people have died, but the incidents were in New Jersey and Nassau County, so no one connected them. ' he said.
Fudge's eyes widened: "?"
"Don't mention this news to the public, it's good that you know it." Luke nodded: "If there is any progress in the case, I will notify you, but you must pay attention to your own personal safety and don't take it lightly."
Fudge smiled bitterly: "But we represented Grote's case."
Luke looked at him quietly: "Then be careful, don't die casually."
Fudge: Brother, why are you so serious! My calves are shaking.
At this time, a black police detective came over and greeted the four in turn: "Are you discussing the community reconstruction plan again?"
Luke hehe: "Well, hello Detective Mahoney, those children should be happily volunteering, so I can rest assured."
Mahoney also laughed: "Sooner or later they'll understand that it's a beautiful and right thing to do."
Luke nodded: "However, I'm here because of the Irish gang case."
Mahoney glanced at Fudge next to him, and seeing that he had nothing to say, he said, "Headquarters wants to take over this case?"
Luke shook his head: "I just understand the situation, so let us two newcomers deal with the errands. We won't interfere in your affairs here."
As he spoke, he glanced at the interrogation room.
Mahoney understands that this is Luke's clear statement that he will not take control of the case, and at most learn a little about the situation from the side.
He was also relieved.
Luke and the two have a good reputation in the Clinton District, and Mahoney is also a man. It is not difficult to find out the identities of the two police detectives. He really doesn't want to conflict with these two headquarters personnel.
The Fifteenth Bureau's image at the headquarters was bad enough, and he didn't want to be blacklisted himself.
After confirming this, everyone followed Detective Mahoney into the interrogation room.
