Chapter Twenty-Eight: Danger Comes from Itself

In Chinatown, his rental house was spotless on the weekends, there were no leftover lunch boxes on the clean coffee table, the original documents and files were sorted into folders and stood on the back of the sofa, and he even filled in the names of these files...... It wasn't until the windows of the whole room were bright and clean that even the floor was shiny, and he stood by the window with his rubber-gloved hands holding a wet rag and admiring the fruits of his labor.

At the moment, his gaze was obviously illusory, and making the house cleaner was not the purpose of the weekend, he was thinking, thinking about the series of changes caused by yesterday's dinner and why it had suddenly gone away, and most importantly, how to deal with the aftermath of the whole incident.

When, when, when.

The knock came at the least time it should have been, and he had to stop and open the damn door at the end of the week when he was about to figure it all out, but two key factors were missing.

"Who's there!"

At this time, I am afraid that anyone will be a little angry, but a person who loses his temper with the courier and takeaway brother because the knock on the door is too quick and disturbs him must not be a good emotional manager.

"Pablo."

How did he get here?

Click.

When I walked back to the door and opened the door, I saw Pablo in a suit standing at the door, and I asked for the first time: "SIR, why are you ......?"

Pablo was not polite at all, and after entering the room, he asked, "Of course you-he--don't want me to come." ”

The boss of the Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Section who stepped into the room opened his mouth like an angry Tyrannosaurus rex and began to breathe fire: "My big star, do you know that your little unsightly hobby made me scolded by that old guy in the deputy director's office for a full hour and a half!" ”

"Have you forgotten that you are a big star in the whole police department? Do you feel like you're out of the air because the TV station hasn't aired your interview for a month? Play – S – Mβ€”β€”? Or is it a - suffered-masochistic - mad? You are crazy! ”

Over the weekend, I wanted to reach out and stop the foaming stars that spewed out of Pablo's mouth, and even had the urge to break off the finger that was dangling in front of my eyes completely. Ultimately. HE JUST STOOD THERE AND SAID, "SIR." What is Matthew going to do? "It looks like last night's events have started to spread inside the police station, how did this spread so quickly?

"What do you think?"

Pablo glared at the weekend and said, "Do you think the deputy director is willing to fire the big star who is holding it up by himself?" ”

"What is Matthew going to do? What else could he do? At most, stop these 'rumors' from circulating within the police station immediately," Pablo said with a glaring eye at the last word, as if even he didn't believe it was a rumor: "And then when you finish your vacation and ask you to go to his office for kind guidance, I deserve to be scolded for the whole incident, because I am your leader!" ”

Weekend smiled wryly and said, "SORRY." ”

"YES, SIR, IT'S JUST A RUMOR. No photos...... Is it? ”

"And the photos!" As if Pablo had heard a bomb explode, the emotions that had just calmed down during the weekend apology were revived again.

"No, no, I mean, how did you get here, you can talk about this kind of thing on the phone."

The first key point has been figured out over the weekend, the policeman who left the photo will never be able to make the photo public as long as he still wants to do this business, because the photo was taken while on duty, and the shooting of that photo is neither evidence nor an important clue to solve the case, if this photo with a strong entertainment nature is exposed. A complaint over the weekend can ruin his family, and the police have no right to expose the spare time activities of the police officers and their girlfriends on vacation. Maybe. That photo has been deleted.

Thinking of this, the weekend was a little more relieved.

"Are you familiar with the FBI in Texas?"

FBI? Still Texas?

Thinking about it over the weekend, Texas was fading into obscurity as if it had been the experience of his previous life, in the midst of a brilliant Los Angeles career.

Pablo saw the contemplative look of the weekend and reminded: "An Italian man with a crackling mouth never stopped from the moment he entered my office, and his verbosity made him want to put him in the prisoner's cell. ”

"Tony?"

"That's right." Pablo seemed to remember the guy's name: "He came to you, saying it was for a case." ”

"What's going on?"

I can't figure it out over the weekend, I have a holiday with Tony, but the holiday is at most a big ticket, I'm afraid that driving from Texas to California will cost more gas than that ticket, so why did he run so far? Case, what case can make the Texas FBI run to California? With Tony's personality, even if he can't solve a case, he will never come to him for help.

"You guys?"

"It's not a good relationship." The weekend answered honestly.

Pablo nodded and said, "Let him come up." ”

A moment later, footsteps sounded in the hallway, and Tony, dressed in a suit and tired-looking, appeared in front of him with a partner who was eating noodles fork by fork with a lunch box in his hand.

"Zhou, meet again."

Tony's eyes were dark, and the iPad in his hand was tucked under his armpits, judging from the way he shook hands and the way he squinted his eyes and shook his head vigorously, this guy probably hadn't slept for several days.

It's not like you're here for revenge: "You weren't passing through Los Angeles to say hello." The moment Weekend shook Tony's hand, he said this.

"You're right." Tony's words were very dense, this was his habit, but this time he didn't say any nonsense: "That's the case, Zhou, the black police case you once investigated in Texas is now eyebrow-raising." Eward is dead. ”

He was rarely so surprised when he opened his mouth over the weekend, but it was always a little frustrating for friends he hadn't been in touch with for a long time to suddenly come out of the news of death when they had been forgotten.

"Why?" Weekend asked with a glare.

"Money."

Tony continued: "After you left Texas, the Home Office discovered that Eward's account was abnormal, and there were two extra sums of money in his account. The first one. $5000. The second tranche is $5,000. The $10,000 changed Elward's life a little, not by much, and the money was withdrawn the next day, and then, the entire town police department went to Everd's craziest party. ”

Half a month later, Iward died at home, with traces of being bound on his hands and feet, and an above-standard amount of poison in his blood. The medical examiner reported that this was the first time Iward had touched a poison productβ€”β€”, and it was clear that it was not his own. ”

TONI TOOK OUT HIS IPAD, AND AS HE WATCHED THE PICTURE SWIPE ACROSS THE SCREEN OVER THE WEEKEND, HE SEEMED TO SEE HIMSELF AND EWARD SITTING IN THE POLICE STATION PARKING LOT DRINKING BEER WHILE THROWING BEER CANS ON THE ROOF OF THE POLICE STATION.

"Don't tell me the money was ...... after Iward solved the big case"

"You guessed it again." Tony didn't speak, and glanced at Pablo: "This gentleman, I want to talk to the weekend alone." ”

Pablo squinted at him disdainfully, turned around and sat on the sofa and said with a sneer: "Chat with my people on my territory, Mussolini is not qualified to let me leave." ”

It's a secret that everyone knows that the police and the FBI don't deal with each other. Who let these guys go in and out of various crime scenes all day long and say to them, 'We've taken over here,' as if only they were going to solve the case.

"It's okay." Said on the weekend. Then he brought the topic to the topic: "I remember that I also received the remittance after solving the case, and I also made a special check that the remittance was sent from the name of the stolen ID, and the amount of money became larger and larger with each case, and it seemed that every time a case was solved, a remittance would be received a few days later, which was very punctual." ”

"That's right, Iward solved a big case in the town, he broke up the Mexican car theft ring, and AMC took a special interview car." TONY SWIPED HIS IPAD AGAIN AND SAID, "ACCORDING TO OUR INVESTIGATION, YOU WERE ON TV BEFORE YOU RECEIVED YOUR FIRST PAYMENT, BUT THAT WAS WHEN YOU WERE INTERVIEWING A GROUP OF TRAINEES WHO WERE ABOUT TO JOIN THE POLICE FORCE, AND I SUSPECTED THAT THERE WAS A GUY WHO TARGETED THE POLICE OFFICERS WHO HAD BEEN ON TV. ”

I remember that interview over the weekend, but it wasn't what he was experiencing, it was supposed to be the guy who lived on the land.

TONY'S FINGERS DIDN'T STOP, AND KEPT SLIDING ON THE IPAD: "SO, I WAS THINKING, WILL THE PERSON WHO RECEIVED THIS MONEY NOT KNOW ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU?" Or will the people who received the money have been reported in the media? So, I summarized the facts of the case, there are not many police officers who have been on TV and died in homicides, among these police officers, 6 police officers were strangled to death, and when they went to the bank to investigate their accounts through legal procedures, the surprise appeared, and each of these police officers had the same money transferred under their accounts. The facts of the case can be traced back to 2004 at the earliest, and by now, seven police officers have been confirmed to have died at the hands of this guy, and the other two investigators may have also died at his hands. ”

TONY, WHO HAD ALL HIS IPAD IN STOCK, LOOKED AT THE WEEKEND AND ASKED IN A VERY IMPOLITE WAY, "I WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU DIDN'T DIE." ”

"That's the end of the conversation!" Pablo stood up and walked in front of Weekend, sandwiched between him and Tony, and said, "Mr. Tony, you are going to receive a letter of complaint from the Los Angeles Police Department, if you translate it in plain language, it means that I don't like you to treat my subordinates with this attitude, do you understand?" ”

Weekend gently reached out and grabbed Pablo's arm, he knew that his leader was a rough man and a special calf, but Pablo was unlikely to understand the mystery of this case. Tony didn't disrespect himself, because the fact that he didn't die was a clue to solving the case in his eyes, and this is a guy who is extremely confident and completely believes in himself in solving the case...... But this time, he was confused again!

"I'm not dead...... It's probably because the money hasn't been touched. ”

Here's the weekend's explanation.

He really didn't touch that money, when he first came to the United States, he didn't touch that money because he didn't want to get into trouble; When he arrived in Los Angeles, it was Adam's case that put him in trouble, and it was then that he threw off his baggage and handed over the card, which is why the investigator appeared. What I didn't expect was that this kind of thing actually allowed me to escape!

"Wait, Tony, if there really is such a police killer, why hasn't the FBI merged the cases until now and opened a case for investigation?" Can't figure this out over the weekend.

Tony explained: "The reason is very simple, the unsolved cases that have not been solved for about 10 years will be sent to the Cold Case Bureau for processing, and you must know that Mr. Li, the pride of your Chinese and known as the 'Sherlock Holmes of Asia', is the head of the Cold Case Bureau." IT'S JUST THAT I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS CASE HASN'T BEEN SOLVED, WHETHER IT'S NOT LONG ENOUGH TO LINE UP, OR IS IT ......" TONY SMILED, STRETCHED OUT HIS IPAD AND SAID, "IT'S IN MY HANDS NOW ANYWAY." "Actually, Tony wanted to say, 'That Mr. Li can't be broken,' but the phrase was replaced by a smile.

"Thanks, our conversation is over." Tony turned to leave, and after talking so much, he seemed to regain his senses, as if not sleeping for a few days was not a big deal.

Pablo glanced at the weekend, then at Tony's departing figure and said, "If he's bothering you, tell me." ”

"Also, don't put so many files at home, just now I saw on your sofa the files of more than a dozen homicide cases such as 'Water Tower Drowning Case', 'Cecil Hotel Violence-Sex-Assault Case', 'Human Nature Case', I really can't imagine anyone who will study these things at home all day, anyway, if these things are in front of me every day, I will definitely want to go out and kill someone one day." Pablo also left after saying this.

At that time, I found the second point on the weekend, and the idea of wanting to kill people is like a football lover who will always feel that playing the game "Pro Evolution Soccer" is not too enjoyable and wants to go out and play a few feet, except for things that ordinary people are not qualified to accomplish, and after a long time of exposure to something, you will have the psychology of trying it out, plus your own stress disorder mental illness, it is not strange that the idea of killing people has been embedded in your mind unconsciously......

"S-H-I-T~~~" scolded in a long tone over the weekend. (To be continued.) )
