The LAPD is great, but no matter how great it is, it is not as great as the DEA. The former is just a local law enforcement agency no matter how rich it is, but what about the DEA? Others have not been established for a long time, but others are solid federal law enforcement agencies! Law enforcement powers
Much bigger than the LAPD.
Although the LAPD can refuse to give face to the DEA, the DEA can also refuse to piss off the LAPD. Dan’s phone call has no effect at all. The DEA has no summons notice from the Los Angeles police, let alone a major crime unit police officer. They backhandedly
So I called Dustin's office and told him that the DEA was very angry and that your West District Crime Squad was messing around!
Dustin was a little confused at first. He knew about the case. After others said hello, Dustin didn't think much and directly informed Dan to let him close the case.
The police have always been a relatively united group, and it is not uncommon for officers to protect each other among the American police. Just search the news and you will see a lot of such examples, so I won’t go into details. So Dustin gave the DEA this face.
.But now, he was beaten back by his serious crime team...
"What's going on?" Dustin said, a little angry.
"There is a problem with the case." Kai knew what he was going to ask before Dustin called him to the office. "This is definitely not manslaughter, but murder!"
Dustin was stunned. He didn't expect Kai to be so serious. He's just a drug dealer. He's dead. Who cares? "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 basic cover-ups.
!Total nonsense!”
Dustin was speechless. He really didn't pay much attention to the case, but he never expected that the DEA could do something so rough. But up to now, Dustin still doesn't want to have a tense relationship with the DEA. As one of the three major police departments in the United States,
There is a lot of cooperation between the Los Angeles Police Department and the DEA. If they have a good relationship with each other, many things will be much easier.
"Then you plan to..."
"Subpoena! Interrogate! Re-investigate!" Kai was very determined.
Dustin felt a toothache. Meeting such a serious subordinate was also a headache for him. But then again, could he stop him?
Can't stop it!
Not to mention that he has no good way to take Kai. Others need background, merit, and qualifications to avoid him. This kind of thing is not very easy to do in the first place. How can he suppress it? And even if he can suppress Kai, he won't let him.
If he checks, there's nothing Kai can do?
If nothing else, if Kai brings this matter to the media, Dustin will be in trouble. The media in Entertainment City is much more powerful than the media in Chicago. If such a news breaking point is caught, it will make people angry if they don't do it.
God, I'm sorry for the reputation of the city of Los Angeles. After all, Hollywood is all about the eyeball economy, and reporters will say anything for the sake of exposure.
Dustin picked up the document, which showed photos of several victims...
Dustin may be more of a politician than a policeman, but that doesn't mean he's really greedy for money.
Seeing the death state 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 was truly righteous and agreed to carry out the investigation. But it would also be a shame to say that he had no sense of justice. People are never simple creatures, they are complicated.
normal.
…
DEA Los Angeles Branch, McGee walked into the office of DEA Detective Norman Stanfield: "Stan, the Department of Internal Affairs has notified us that they want to review us."
McGee is Norman's deputy. He has always been the team member responsible for calming Norman's volatile emotions.
Norman Stanfield, sitting behind his desk, wearing a beige suit, wearing headphones in both ears, waving his hands to the music in the headphones, turning a deaf ear to his companion's words. McGee did not rush him, he knew,
Norman heard it. When listening to music, Norman likes to devote himself to it. At this time, it is best not to interrupt him.
After almost a few minutes, after the music in the headphones stopped, Norman raised his head and looked at McGee.
"What's going on? Isn't it already done?"
"I don't know. The Major Crime Team in the West District just issued a summons to several of us. However, Director Haxon pushed back, but the matter still alerted others, so Haxon asked the Internal Affairs Department to
Come here for a formality, he asked us to be honest recently and wait for the limelight to pass."
McGee actually did not agree with killing all the drug dealer's family. They could have used more secretive methods to get back their swallowed goods. And even if it was killing, there were many ways. Every year, unknown people were sunk to the bottom off the coast of Los Angeles.
, completely unaware of the ghost, there is no need to be so intense.
Indeed, their immediate boss, Director Harkerson, can be their protective umbrella. But that's not how an umbrella is used.
"I think you should take some time off first."
"No!" Norman didn't listen to McGee at all. "We haven't gotten the goods back yet! That batch of goods is worth 20 million!"
"But we searched through that guy's house and couldn't find anything!" McGee felt that Norman was becoming more and more dangerous and might lose control at any time. This guy was taking drugs every day and was almost destroying his brain. He
I feel that what this guy needs to do most now is to detoxify!
Otherwise, everyone will be killed by him sooner or later!
"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.
Shaking it, listening to the subtle knocking sound, he opened the small iron box, picked up one of the seven or eight capsules inside, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"That's just a kid." Mikey still felt it was a bit ridiculous.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "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. 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 this girl!" Kai said to Chloe, pointing to a girl in the photo.
After Kai left Dustin's office, he immediately led people to the scene of the crime and conducted a comprehensive survey of the scene. If he wanted to forcefully summon several DEA agents, he had to produce strong evidence.
Kai obtained information about 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 simply 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 has had several disputes with the LAPD because his team
During the operation, they "accidentally killed" the trafficker's family.
In other words, 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 not easy to mess with. The police department and the DEA have had several disputes before.
After all, it was nothing in the end.
This is one of the reasons why Dustin doesn't want to get involved. After all, there's no point in getting involved. Besides, all the drug dealer's family members are dead, and all the people are dead, so naturally no family members will bother him. Dustin
Without the pressure of solving the case, I can naturally 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. Shouldn't this matter be investigated from the beginning?
Dustin doesn't have much influence. Since Kai is willing to confront the DEA, he won't stop him. This is why Dustin is so easy to talk to. People are still willing to be reasonable when the matter has nothing to do with them.
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 male 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 need 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. It was obvious that these people 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 this group of people. The most the DEA can do is argue with the Los Angeles Police Department, and then just 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 couldn't laugh or cry, but it wasn't that he thought the old lady was lying. In fact, the old lady was too calm. The reason why she was trembling was entirely because she was too old... She seemed 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. "Hmm... this... is not... this seems to have him, this... I don't recognize him.
"
What happened after that seemed ridiculous. 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 a trick 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 extremely poor...
No matter what, the old lady's testimony was of no use. It didn't even take a famous lawyer. Even Kai himself could make the jury disbelieve the old lady'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: "People here are not good neighbors... You know, you should take care of yourself and ignore 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 are a few downstairs, but most of them don't want to cause trouble. According to them, they shot
No sound was ever heard.
"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 he 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's normal, no one cares. No one pays attention to it.
"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.
This is just a whim.
The landlord was very happy and opened the room for Kai and the others without any regard for the so-called privacy. After all, the previous tenant had already checked out.
The room was surprisingly tidy, everything was arranged meticulously. The room was tidy and had no peculiar smell, either a transvestite or a gay!
Just when Kai was about to check the room, his cell phone rang.
Kai took out his cell 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 asked in surprise. After all, the security around Tony has always been very tight, especially after the last terrorist attack in Chicago.
