After leaving the hospital, Luke and Luke did not return to the police station. Instead, they went to Eddie Ross' house to inspect the scene.

The deputy team is presiding over the on-site investigation work.

After arriving at the scene, Luke carefully checked at Eddie Ross's house.

The situation at the scene was basically consistent with Eddie Ross's description. It was very clean and almost no biological samples of the suspect were found.

The suspect is very professional.

This professionalism is not only reflected in the clean-up of the scene. The suspect can easily sneak into other people's homes, leaving adult men without a chance to call for help. This is not something ordinary people can do.

Moreover, according to the victim Eddie Ross, the suspect may not be carrying a gun, which not only increases the difficulty of committing the crime, but also shows the other party's extreme confidence.

After visiting the surrounding neighbors and collecting surveillance footage around the community, Luke led the team back to the police detective station.

…

Inside the Robbery and Murder Division offices.

Luke recounted Eddie Ross’s confession and concluded, “Before, we all thought that the three cases were committed by the same suspect, but now it seems that there should be two suspects.

Moreover, the two suspects had different purposes for committing the crime.

The victim in the headless body case, Novena Jones, was a silver-selling woman. She was probably killed by a white suspect.

Eddie Ross, whose lower body was cut off, was attacked by a black man wearing a mask.

As for the second victim, Petrov, who did not cooperate with the police investigation, his experience was similar to that of Eddie Ross. Both were tied up and had certain parts cut off, but they were not killed.

In addition, Petrov once said that the suspect was wearing a black mask, which coincided with Eddie Ross's confession.

Of course, although they are two different suspects with different purposes of committing crimes, they are related.

That connection is Novena Jones."

The deputy said, "Do you think the suspect wearing the mask is a relative or friend of Novena Jones, and he attacked Petrov and Eddie Ross in order to avenge Novena Jones."

Jenny said, "This masked suspect has the same purpose as the police and is also investigating the murderer of Novena Jones."

Luke replied, "Yes, but his methods were more radical, which also interfered with the police investigation to a certain extent.

However, from another perspective, he may also have clues that the police do not know.

And the police also had clues that he didn't know about.

As long as he can be caught and the clues from both sides are compiled, the murderer of Novena Jones may be found.

Both cases can be solved."

Jackson asked, "The black suspect in the mask was very cunning and didn't leave many clues at either crime scene.

The third victim, Eddie Ross, also didn't see his face, and based on these alone we can't confirm his identity, let alone find him."

Luke made a cup of tea and said, "It is indeed difficult to find a black man wearing a mask under normal circumstances, but don't forget that he is also investigating the murder of Novena Jones.

As long as we can predict the direction of his investigation and set up an ambush in advance, we can wait and catch him."

"Good idea." Xiao Hei agreed and continued, "We investigated Petrov on the front foot, and the masked suspect also attacked Petrov.

After that, we found Eddie Ross, and the suspect wearing a mask found Eddie Ross.

In other words, he is in the same direction as our investigation."

Xiao Hei's mind was wide open, and he scanned everyone, "Is there a mole among us?"

The deputy team leader shook his head, "You've watched too many TV shows. How could there be so many moles? I would rather believe that the masked suspect has installed bugs around us than believe that there are moles."

"Snapped!"

Xiao Hei snapped his fingers, "Yes, that's what I want to say. Could the masked suspect have installed a bug in the police station?"

Luke thought about it and felt that this idea was theoretically possible, but it would be very difficult to operate. Compared with the frivolous operation of installing a bug, Luke also had his own speculation.

"It's right to be cautious. You can check your mobile phones and equipment to see if there are any bugs installed."

Everyone hurriedly checked, but no bugging device was found.

Luke continued, "Compared with installing bugs, I have another speculation.

First of all, the black suspect wearing a mask must know Novena Jones, and the relationship between the two parties is relatively close.

He should know the true identity of Novena Jones and the existence of Petrov.

After the Novena Jones incident, the masked black suspect suspected that Petrov had done it, then found Petrov's house and tortured him to extract a confession.

After some questioning, he discovered that Petrov was not the murderer, but he did not let him go easily and continued to ask about the murder of Novena Jones. For example, Novena Jones had been beaten by those clients before.

, which perverted customers have sadistic tendencies.

Petrov named Eddie Ross, and then the masked black suspect found Eddie Ross and asked him whether he had killed Novena Jones.

If my guess is correct, the black man wearing the mask's investigation clues to the case mainly come from Petrov.

You know, there are quite a few prostitutes with special hobbies like Eddie Ross who like to beat silver girls. These people have more or less mental or psychological problems and may commit more serious crimes.

If the black suspect wearing a mask can find Eddie Ross, he may find other customers with special hobbies."

Xiao Hei shrugged, "But the key problem is that we don't know now. Even if Novena Jones is dead, it's impossible to tell us."

Luke said, "But Petrov knew that he probably also told the black suspect in the mask.

As long as we can pry open Petrov's mouth, we can obtain investigation clues about the black suspect wearing a mask and set up an ambush in advance."

The deputy thought for a moment and said, "This idea is fine, but it's not easy to pry Petrov's mouth open."

"You are right, so leave this matter to me.

Deputy team, is there another direction that you need to investigate?"

The deputy team guessed, "You want me to start investigating Novena Jones's surrounding relationships."

"Yes, the black suspect wearing a mask is willing to avenge Novena Jones, which shows that the relationship between the two must be unusual. They are either lovers or friends. There must be intersections between them, and the relationship will be relatively close.

"

"Leave it to me," the deputy team member responded, but in fact this clue was not easy to investigate. Novena Jones didn't even have any relatives in Los Angeles, and she didn't have a serious job, so she could only investigate around her home address.

…

Anti-Crime and Anti-Drug Division.

The Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Department is not far from the Robbery and Murder Department, that is, just downstairs. Compared with the Robbery and Murder Department, the former has a larger office and more complicated personnel.

"Dong dong."

Luke knocked on the office door symbolically, "Deputy David, is Captain Jones here?"

David stood up and said, "Here, do you want me to take you in?"

"It could not be better."

Then, the two knocked on the door and entered Jones' office.

"Hey, Captain Luke, it's really a rare visitor. It's your first time coming to my office." Jones smiled and asked Luke to sit down.

"Captain Jones, I'm here to ask for your help."

"I heard David say that I had contact with the boss of the Hairy Bear Gang. This bastard didn't buy it and kept saying that Petrov's matter had nothing to do with him."

Luke said, "Is there any way you can bypass the Bear Gang and ask Petrov to cooperate with the police investigation?"

"It's almost impossible. As far as I know, the family members of these gang members are all in Eastern Europe. If Petrov dares to betray the gang, his family...

Therefore, even if he is sentenced to death, he will not dare to rebel."

"So the problem still lies with the Mao Xiong Gang."

"That's right, there have been few large-scale operations by lapd recently. Many gangs have forgotten that lapd is the boss of this city. This is very bad, especially those arrogant bears."

"I want to get Petrov's confession. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"My suggestion is that our two departments launch a joint operation to clean up the Wooly Bear Gang and let them realize who is the boss in Los Angeles.

As long as it hurts them and prevents them from doing business, they will naturally compromise."

Luke frowned, "Isn't it a bit intimidating?"

Jones shrugged, "It depends on what you think.

I've been trying to scare the gangs lately. These guys are all about food and not about beatings. Every once in a while, you must pick out a disobedient one and beat him up, otherwise, they will dare to jump on your head and act wild.

But there is no rush in this matter.

If you are willing, our two departments can work together.

If you don't want to, I can just wait."

Luke smiled, he really liked Jones's character, "OK, happy cooperation."

…

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Downtown Los Angeles.
