Chapter 486: Investigation and the First Year (Asking for Monthly Tickets, Subscriptions, and Recommendations) Asking for Recommendation Tickets!!!

LAPD is awesome, but not as awesome as DEA. →No matter how rich the former is, it is only a local law enforcement agency, but what about DEA? It was indeed not established for a long time, but it is a solid federal law enforcement agency! Its law enforcement power is much greater than LAPD.

Although LAPD can ignore DEA, DEA can also ignore LAPD. Dan's phone call was useless. DEA didn't care about the summons from Los Angeles police, let alone a major crime team. They called Dustin's office and told him that they, DEA, were very angry and that your West District Major Crime Team was messing around!

Dustin was a little confused at first. He knew about this case. After others said hello, Dustin didn't think much about it and directly notified Dan to close the case.

Police have always been a relatively united group, and it is common for officials to protect each other among American police. You can see a lot of such examples by searching the news, so I won't go into details. So Dustin gave DEA this face. But now, he was beaten back by his major crime team...

"What's going on?" Dustin was a little angry.

"There's something wrong with the case." Kai knew what Dustin was going to ask before he was called to his office. "This is definitely not manslaughter, but murder!"

Dustin was stunned. He didn't expect Kai to be so serious. It's just a drug dealer. Who cares if he dies? "Do you have evidence?"

"Evidence?" Kai sneered and threw the information in his hand on Dustin's desk. "With this information, even a rookie can see the problem from it. Those bastards didn't even do a basic cover-up! It's complete nonsense!"

Dustin was speechless. He didn't pay much attention to the case, but he never thought that the DEA could do things so roughly. But until now, Dustin still doesn't want to make the relationship with the DEA stiff. As one of the three largest police departments in the United States, the Los Angeles Police Department and the DEA have a lot of cooperation. If they have a good relationship with each other, many things will be much easier.

"Then what are you going to do..."

"Subpoena! Interrogation! Re-investigation!" Kai was very determined.

Dustin felt a toothache. It was a headache for him to meet such a serious subordinate. But then again, could he stop him?

He couldn't!

Not to mention that he had no good way to deal with Kai. Others had backgrounds and merits, and they were qualified to ignore him. This kind of thing was not very impressive, so how could he suppress it? And even if he could suppress Kai and stop him from investigating, would Kai have no other way?

Apart from anything else, as long as Kai reported this to the media, Dustin would be in trouble. The media in the entertainment city was much more powerful than the media in Chicago. If such a news point was caught, it would be a shame to the reputation of Los Angeles if it was not made into a sensation. After all, Hollywood is an eyeball economy, and those reporters dared to say anything for exposure. →

Dustin picked up the information, which showed photos of several victims...

Dustin might be more like a politician than a policeman, but that doesn't mean he is really greedy.

Seeing the death of the two children, Dustin nodded with difficulty.

"I understand. Do what you want."

"Thanks, boss!"

Dustin smiled. It would be a shame to say that he really agreed to Kai's investigation for justice. But it would be a shame to say that he had no sense of justice. People are never simple creatures. Complexity is the norm.

...

At the Los Angeles branch of the DEA, McGee walked into the office of DEA detective Norman Stanfield: "Stan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has notified us that we will be investigated."

McGee is Norman's deputy. He has always been the member of the team responsible for calming Norman's volatile emotions.

Norman Stanfield, sitting behind his desk, wearing a beige suit, wearing headphones on both ears, waving his hands to the music in the headphones, ignoring his companions' words. McGee did not urge him, he knew that Norman heard it. When listening to music, Norman likes to devote himself to it wholeheartedly. At this time, it is best not to interrupt him.

After about a few minutes, the music in the headphones came to an end. Norman raised his head and looked at McGee.

"What's going on? Isn't it done?"

"I don't know. The major crime team in the West District just issued a summons to several of us. But it was rejected by Chief Hackson. But this matter still alarmed other people, so Hackson asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come over to go through the motions. He asked us to be honest recently and wait for the storm to pass."

McGee actually did not agree to kill the drug dealer's family. They could use more covert means to get back their swallowed goods, and even if they killed people, there were many ways. There were unknown number of anonymous people sunk to the bottom of the sea off the coast of Los Angeles every year, completely unnoticed, so there was no need for such a fierce action.

Indeed, their immediate boss, Chief Hackson, could be their umbrella. But the umbrella was not used in this way.

"I think you should take a leave for a while first."

"No!" Norman didn't listen to McGee at all. "We haven't got our goods back yet! That batch of goods is worth 20 million!"

"But we searched the guy's house and couldn't find the goods!" McGee felt that Norman was becoming more and more dangerous and could lose control at any time. This guy was taking drugs every day and was almost destroying his brain. He felt that what this guy needed to do most now was to quit drugs!

Otherwise, sooner or later, everyone would be killed by him!

"No! Isn't there a girl left in his family? Find her! She must know something!" Norman slowly took out an iron box from his chest that was one-third the size of his hand, and put it to his ear. Shake it and listen to the subtle knocking sound. Opening the small iron box, he picked up one of the seven or eight capsules inside, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it. After a moment, he slowly raised his head, twisted his neck a few times, his face suddenly turned red, and his whole body was in a state of excitement.

"That's just a kid." Mikey still felt it was a bit ridiculous.

"If you don't want your share, you can quit, but I won't give up!" Norman didn't care at all.

McGee's expression changed. It was ten kilograms of 99% pure high-end stuff, which was priceless on the market. This profit was enough for him to work for more than half a year. Of course, McGee couldn't give up so easily.

"Go find the girl!"

…

"Find the girl!" Kai said to Chloe, pointing to a girl in the photo.

After Kai left Dustin's office, he immediately led people to the crime scene to conduct a comprehensive survey of the scene. If he wants to forcefully summon several DEA agents, he must produce strong evidence.

Kai obtained the information of the DEA agents involved in the case.

It was a DEA anti-narcotics team, and the leader of the team, Norman Stanfield, was not an unknown person in the Los Angeles Police Department. The reason was that Norman Stanfield, a senior DEA agent, had received complaints. There are just too many. The excessive use of force is not uncommon for DEA agents. A DEA without such complaints must be a fake DEA. But Norman had several disputes with the LAPD because his team "accidentally killed" family members of traffickers during operations.

That is to say, there is more than one similar case like this one. Generally speaking, Norman Stanfield himself is not a big deal, but the DEA behind him is really difficult to mess with. The police department and the DEA had several disputes before, but in the end it was settled.

This is one of the reasons why Dustin doesn't want to get entangled. After all, there is no result if he pulls it off. Besides, all the drug dealer's family members are dead, and all the people are dead, so naturally there will be no family members to bother him. Dustin Without the pressure to solve the case, it is natural to sell the DEA a favor.

Unfortunately, Kai jumped out.

Of course, Dustin won't try his best to stop it. After all, this matter has nothing to do with him? Favors can't be sold if they can't be sold, and he doesn't rely on the DEA to get promoted. Whether or not this matter was investigated from the beginning, it had little impact on Dustin. Since Kai is willing to confront the DEA, he won't stop him. This is why Dustin is so easy to talk to. When the matter has nothing to do with oneself, people are still willing to be reasonable.

There was actually nothing to investigate at the scene. As mentioned before, the DEA agents had no intention of covering it up. Evidence was everywhere.

Based on the traces at the scene, we can roughly deduce the course of the case.

A group of DEA agents broke into the house, first killed the eldest daughter of the family, then kicked open the bathroom door, shot the mother of the family, and then had a shootout with the male owner of the family near the shrine. While a DEA agent was killed, he was also shot. Later, he was knocked down in the corridor while escaping. The drug dealer dragged his wounds and crawled to the entrance, where he was shot dead and shot six times!

According to ballistic testing, these six shots all came from one gun!

Guns are deadly! In other words, the bastard with the gun didn't have to shoot so many times! He made it clear that he wanted to kill people!

In addition, there were signs of tampering everywhere in the room, and even the mattress in the room had been cut open with a knife. Apparently these guys were looking for something.

But fortunately among misfortunes, the family still has a girl surviving.

Now this girl is very important, not only is she very likely to be in danger, but more importantly, this girl is very likely to know the motives of the DEA agent!

Yes, the evidence in front of them is not enough to convict these people. The most the DEA can do is argue with the Los Angeles Police Department, and then let it go as before.

"Oh, those people are all beasts. Not only did they not let the poor family go, they even planned to kill me." A neighbor of the drug dealer, a ninety-year-old woman, said to Kai tremblingly.

Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but it wasn't that he thought the old lady was lying. In fact, this old lady is too calm. The reason why she is trembling is entirely because she is too old... She seems to be accustomed to everything in front of her.

"Old lady, are you not afraid at all? After all, they have threatened to shoot." Chloe was also surprised by the old lady's calmness.

Unexpectedly, the old lady asked Chloe this question and acted even more surprised?

"Hey! Girl, where do you think this is? This is a mean street! Shootings and murders happen every day here! If I was afraid, I would be scared to death. My windows are broken by bullets three times a month. And this is comparable to The scene of Japan’s bombing of Pearl Harbor was much smaller.”

"You also experienced the bombing of Pearl Harbor?"

"Of course! I was an army nurse at the time."

Seeing that Chloe was about to take the old lady to a crooked building, Kai quickly took out a few photos and asked her to identify them.

"Did these people do it?"

"Oh. Wait a minute, I need my eyes." After saying that, the old lady went back to the house to get her own eyes. "Well...this...isn't...this seems to have him, this...I don't recognize him."

What happened after that seemed nonsensical. Kai put photos of several DEA agents who were present at the time and several other photos of unrelated people under the old lady's eyes. As a result, the old lady seemed to be playing tricks on him and had nothing to do with anyone. After everyone was identified, only a few of them were not recognized...

After the social worker from the community who specializes in helping the elderly came, I realized that the old lady was a little confused and her eyesight was even worse...

In any case, the old woman's testimony was useless. It didn't take a very famous lawyer, even Kai himself could make the jury not believe the old man's testimony.

"Does anyone know where that kid went?"

Kai asked Chloe, who had just led the police to inquire about nearby residents.

Chloe shook her head in embarrassment: "The people here are not good neighbors...you know, they care about themselves and don't care about other people's business. Because no one here wants to know what their neighbors are doing in their rooms at night."

"Okay..." This building is an old-fashioned apartment, and there are not many residents in it. There are only three residents on this floor. There were a few downstairs, but most of them didn't want to cause trouble. According to them, they didn't even hear gunshots.

"By the way, you just said that there are three households here?"

Kai looked at the house at the end of the corridor. No one opened the door. So I asked.

"Yes, there is only one person in that household, an Italian man, about forty years old. He has not been back since the day before yesterday." In the back streets, don't be surprised if someone suddenly never appears again. . This is too normal. Maybe he left, maybe he ran away, maybe he took too many drugs and died in a dark corner, or... in short, it was normal, no one would care. No one paid attention.

"Ask the landlord if we can go in?" Kai looked at the house and found that through the peephole of the house, he had a very good view of the room where the crime occurred. So Kai wanted to check it out.

It was just a whim.

The landlord was very happy and opened the room for Kai and the others without any scruples about the so-called right to privacy. After all, the previous residents had already checked out.

The room was surprisingly tidy, and everything was arranged meticulously. The room is tidy and has no peculiar smell. Either a transvestite or a gay!

Just as Kai was about to check the room, his cell phone rang.

Kai took out his phone.

It's Pepper.

"Hello?"

"Kay! I need your help! Something happened to Tony?"

"Okay, calm down, don't panic. Speak slowly."

"Tony was kidnapped."

"In Los Angeles?" Kai said in surprise. After all, the security around Tony has always been very tight, especially after the last terrorist attack in Chicago.

"No, in Afghanistan."
