Chapter 228: Sheriff, Are You Changing Jobs?
At Deputy Sheriff Brolin's home, George Sieger had just finished checking the scene, and Bill Hollister had also arrived on hearing the news.
It is impossible for Liszt and Hammerson's car chase to be so big that it does not attract attention.
Not only are there shootouts in the streets, but even RPGs are used to kill people, and if it weren't for the strong crackdown, today's front-page headlines might have been news such as the terrorist group's attack on Los Angeles.
Even this can't be hidden for long, so the truth must be found out as soon as possible.
With the support of strong intelligence, the identity of the deceased and the origin of the two cars at the scene gradually surfaced.
Some of the dead were members of the security company, and the other were not able to find any information.
Even for those security company employees, when Bill asked company executives about the tasks they were currently performing, they were given only a trade secret and disappeared.
All the clues are left with only two cars, but this time there is good news.
The owner of the Mercedes is Hammerson, and the owner of the Hummer is a thug, who is now said to be following a gangster named Moxi.
It should be a matter of jurisdiction, and Bill could not arbitrarily investigate Moxikesk, so he had to arrange to monitor Hirossen's whereabouts first, and hand over Moxie's affairs to the local sub-bureau.
Until yesterday afternoon, Bill went to meet one of his agents, hoping to find out about the Hemmerson Group in the underworld, only to hear a terrible rumor about a blood-clutched demon who roamed the edge of darkness and sent an entire gang member into the hospital overnight.
When Bill first heard about it, he was very dismissive of it, thinking that the agent had deliberately made up such a story in order to cope with the errand.
But when he learned that the gang boss who was "slapped and killed" was Moxikesk, his attitude immediately changed.
He must not have believed in strange names such as the Bloodpalm Demon, and every person targeted by the Bloodpalm Demon had red five-finger palm prints on the face of the corpse, and those who were killed by the Bloodpalm Demon were as dry as if they had been sucked up by a vampire.
What kind of mess is this, the Bloodclaw Demon is still a vampire, is that unlucky guy named Moxie messing with Satan?
In any case, the killing of Hirosson's bodyguard and the attack on Moxie's club occurred on the same night.
The difference is that no one died on Moxie's side, but Moxie and his henchmen are missing, although he knows that he shouldn't think so, but Bill is still curious, if it was the same person who did it, then why didn't he kill Moxie's men?
Bill had some doubts in his heart, could it be that Moxie and his men wanted to be unfavorable to Hammerson, but the security forces around Hammerson made Moxie unable to succeed, and when Moxie was worried about Hammerson's revenge, he fled with his henchmen overnight?
If this logic can be said, then it will be necessary to find out why Moxi wanted to attack Hirossen, what contradictions or conflicts of interest exist between the two, or whether Moxie wanted to kidnap Hirossen?
Kidnapping the rich is not uncommon for urban gangsters, but under normal circumstances, if they are not in urgent need of money or have a grudge against the target, these gangsters with underground industries will not do it easily, after all, many capital groups are even darker than their small gangs.
It is tacit that the capitalists' primitive capital accumulation came about, but as the capital group grows stronger, it is easy to strip away the dark past, at least externally, leaving only a great and righteous side to the masses.
Especially for arms groups like Hammerson, Moxi will clash with them, and this is worth pondering.
But what Bill didn't expect was that just one day later, the news of the accidental death of the deputy police chief of the local substation, Brolin, was announced.
After receiving the news, Bill put down Hiromerson's case, instinctively feeling that Brolin's death had another hidden meaning.
"Corporal, what's going on at the scene, did Brolin die of murder?"
George Sieger looked strangely at the deputy sergeant from the General Bureau in front of him, shook his head and said: "According to the investigation and analysis of the scene, Deputy Sergeant Brolin should have accidentally touched the electric outlet with the plug in the bathtub while taking a shower and was electrocuted. ”
"Electrocution? You mean accidental? Who am I and is it possible...... Forget it, I'll go to the scene myself. After speaking, he ignored the little police officer who was a little confused, and strode into the scene of the crime.
George Sieg was stunned for a long time before he suddenly turned around, looked at the back that disappeared in front of him, and said cowardly: "This is the jurisdiction of our sub-bureau." ”
Answer his ...... No one answered him, only a "quack" wind blew in the air, and George Sieg cheered himself up: I have reminded, I have resisted, but I am just a little police detective, I can't stop it, and the substation should not embarrass me, right!
Twenty minutes later, George Seger hurriedly found Bill, who was still at the scene for an investigation: "Deputy Sheriff Hollister, we have found several more bodies nearby, all of whom have disappeared from prison in recent years. ”
"Disappear? What does that mean?" Bill's tone intensified.
George Sieg shook his body as if he had just finished going to the toilet, and he didn't dare to sell it anymore: "We found that two of these people should have died in the files released by the prison, one of them disappeared with the guarantor after being released on bail, and his guarantor was also one of the deceased, and the rest were all people released from prison after completing their sentences." ”
Bill's expression finally changed: "How could these people die near a deputy sheriff's house at the same time?" What kind of role did this guy Brolin play in the midterm? ”
George Sieg's eyelids jumped, this can't be said nonsense, it will make a big deal if it spreads, the LAPD scandal, how will they enforce the law in the future.
"There should be no connection, these people all died from guns, and the 9mm pistol rounds should have come from the same pistol. And Brolin should have died in an accident, we found no signs of a fight in the bathroom, no traces of consignment, no one was consigned to the body, and there were no fingerprints of anyone else at the scene except for the fingerprints of Brolin and his wife. ”
"What about Brolin's wife?"
"We also checked this, and yesterday I went to San Francisco with my child during the day, which can be proved by the airport, and it was also after we were notified that his wife knew the news of his death, and now he is returning to Los Angeles with his child."
Everything that can be checked has been checked, and Bill doesn't know what to say, although he always feels that Brolin's death is too coincidental, and the way of death is too "simple", and it is really difficult for an experienced old policeman to die in such an accident.
However, the investigation has really not found the slightest possibility of his killing, and Bill can't rely on that ethereal intuition to handle the case, so he can only accept this reality.
What is left to do now is why the "fresh" bodies of former inmates who should have died or disappeared were found months or even years later.
If this case is not investigated clearly, Bill doesn't want to sleep well, it's scary to think about, this is a problem within the police, and the prison is also implicated, if this is not solved, and then the mission will be in the future, and the police will have to face more than just the visible enemy on the other side.
Liszt "unexpectedly" looked at the special detectives who appeared on the crew: "Deputy Sergeant Bill Hollister? What a surprise, how did you come to me? Are you also interested in filmmaking? If you're willing to provide some classic cases that you've solved, maybe I can adapt it into a screenplay and make it into a blockbuster action cop movie, and that should be ...... It's not against the rules, is it?"
Liszt found that he seemed to be talking too much, and laughed awkwardly twice.
Bill didn't care: "Great advice, if I retire, maybe I'll put some cases together and put them in my autobiography, and maybe I'll be a best-selling author by then." ”
Liszt didn't expect Bill to say that, is it really good for a policeman to make such jokes about the presidents and politicians of this country?
Well, this is really not considered in the United States, compared to the Internet celebrity president of the previous world, this level of ridicule is simply a compliment.
You have to have something to write about when writing an autobiography, and you can't always write something like "Actually, I did a good job", "I exposed too many media liars", "Actually, I'm still a doctor who was delayed by a capitalist president".
"So Sheriff Bill is here today to give me the Medal for Righteous Bravery, isn't it? Oh sorry, the United States doesn't have this medal, it's going to give me the Medal of Valor, right?"
Bill suddenly had a feeling that "this trip was a mistake", which is much harder than fighting a gangster, and such a guy who escapes should have nothing to do with Moxi...... No, no, I'm a professional, how can I judge a person so subjectively.
Bill, who quickly adjusted his mood, looked at Liszt seriously, and only then spoke after the latter "couldn't stand" the majestic oppression: "What does the Tieana Club have to do with you?"
