Chapter 1057 Suspect, Fudge's New Customer (2 more)
After coming out of the Intelligence Department, Luke received a call from Dustin and rushed directly to the 15th Precinct.
Headquarters had just received word that there was another person who had survived the Irish gang last night, but this guy had slipped away.
Now, the lucky one, Elier Grote, arrives at the fifteenth precinct with a lawyer and asks to be a tainted witness.
For this kind of commotion, Luke and the others were not surprised.
What happens in the police station often contradicts the normal logic of most people.
Because most people have not committed crimes, substituting the psychological state of innocent people into it, it is natural to think that those criminals are doing stupid things in the police station.
In fact, there are indeed many people with brain disabilities among these people, but more out of practical considerations, but the law-abiding and good people do not feel compassion.
Does Elier Grote like the one in front of him really want to change his mind and be a new person?
Luke only looked at him at the door for a moment before closing the door.
This man's heart contains all kinds of emotions such as fear, despair, fear, and pleading, but there is no regret.
He is a hopeless criminal, and now he just wants to live, but he has no remorse.
Pulling the door shut, he faced the two acquaintances standing by the door, and said helplessly: "Fudge, Karen, how can you take this case?" ”
Fudge and Karen looked at each other, and Fudge said, "Last night we were playing billiards in the bar, and Grote took the initiative to find us and revealed that the Irish gang had been killed. ”
Luke frowned: "Last night? ”
Fudge hesitated and whispered, "It's 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, Grote's visit to the police station today was indeed a helpless move.
When he went to see Matt and Fudge last night, he was wounded by a gunshot and collapsed after talking to them.
Fudge and the others had to take him to Metropolitan General Hospital, only to be taken by attackers who arrived and chased Grote and Karen out of the hospital.
After the two escaped, Fudge and the others had to let Grote come to the police station to seek self-protection.
Luke looked at Karen in surprise and looked up and down, "Are you alright?" ”
She's just a girl in her twenties, and she's brave enough to be chased and shot without being scared to pee, and she can still run away with Grote.
Could it be that this is also a potential female man?
Karen was a little tired, but her mental state was steady, not quite like she had been shot last night.
Karen shook her head, "It's okay." ”
After hesitating, she explained in a low voice: "I feel that the man is just coming for Grote, and I am not his target." ”
Luke: "Him? ”
Karen nodded: "I saw the man who chased Grote, a white male, about thirty-five years old, with an inch head, a very fierce appearance, and a strong body. ”
Luke: "So the assailant's appearance should have been captured by the hospital's surveillance?" ”
Fudge shook his head, "No." When he came in, the surveillance wiring and lights in a large area were out of order, and perhaps only Karen could see it more clearly. ”
Luke nodded, "Understood." Karen, don't do this to anyone for a while, the police asked you, and you said you were frightened, and you can't remember. ”
Karen couldn't help but glance at Fudge.
Fudge, a doctor of law from Columbia University, immediately explained: "It is normal for people to be frightened and have a confused memory in a short period of time, so you can not say anything, but you can also add to the situation at the right time, and it is not a false confession......
At this, he paused, and looked at Luke and the others with an embarrassed face.
He actually discussed this little trick in front of two police detectives, which seemed a bit too much?
Luke nodded as usual: "This case is a bit troublesome." Before there is major progress, Karen had better not mention this matter, and if she does, she may not be able to catch anyone, but it will bring a lot of trouble. Well, Grote must have seen the attacker too, right? ”
Fudge smiled wryly, "He said he was scared and couldn't remember." ”
Luke smiled and spread his hands: "Look at how skilled people are in this little trick." By the way, what about Matt? ”
When these words came out, Karen was nothing, Fudge's face was a little ugly, and he smiled reluctantly: "He's a little uncomfortable, rest at home." ”
When Luke saw Fudge's expression, his heart suddenly burst into his heart: This excuse is so familiar! Lawyer Ma shouldn't be injured again, right?
However, Fudge didn't say that he didn't ask questions, just nodded and said: "This case is not simple, the Irish gang may not be the only one to be slaughtered, you yourself have to be careful of your personal safety." ”
Fudge: "What's going on?" ”
Luke: "Next up is a private chat, OK?" ”
Fudge reflex: "OK. ”
"I checked the information, and in the past six months, several gangs have been attacked in similar ways, and more than 20 people have died, but the crimes occurred in New Jersey and Nassau County, and no one has connected them." He said.
Fudge's eyes widened, "What? ”
"Don't mention this news to the outside world, just know it." Luke nodded: "If there is progress in the case, I will notify you, but you must pay attention to your personal safety and don't take it lightly." ”
Fudge smiled wryly, "But we represented Grote's case." ”
Luke looked at him quietly: "Then be careful, don't die casually." ”
Fudge:...... Big brother, why are you so serious! My legs and stomach are shaking.
At this time, a black police detective walked over, and when he saw the four of them, he greeted them in turn: "You guys are discussing the community rebuilding plan again?" ”
Luke: "Well, hello Detective Mahony, those children should be happy and happy to volunteer, so I'm relieved." ”
Mahoni also laughed: "Sooner or later, they will understand that it is a beautiful and correct thing." ”
Luke nodded, "I'm here because of the Irish gang case, though. ”
Mahony glanced at Fudge on the side, and saw that he didn't say anything, so he spoke: "The headquarters wants to take over this case?" ”
Luke shook his head: "It's just to understand the situation, that's why let's let these two little newcomers deal with the errand, we won't interfere in your affairs here." ”
He said, glancing over the inquiry room.
Mahoney understands that this is Luke making it clear that he will not take the lead in the case, and at most understand the situation from the sidelines.
He also breathed a sigh of relief.
Luke and the others have a good reputation in the Clinton District, and Mahony is from the NYPD, so it is not difficult to find out the identities of the two police detectives, and he really does not want to have a conflict with these two headquarters personnel.
The image of the 15th sub-bureau at the headquarters was bad enough, and he didn't want to be blacklisted himself.
Confirming this, everyone followed Detective Mahony into the interrogation room.
