Los Angeles Detective

Chapter 2 Colleagues

The Los Angeles Police Department has 21 districts under its jurisdiction, and the 21 districts are divided into 4 command areas, called sub-bureaus.

Central Branch, Southern Branch, Western Branch, Canyon Branch.

There are also two additional divisions, the Detective Division and the Special Operations Division.

The Police Detective Bureau is responsible for investigating crimes, which is somewhat similar to the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau in China, except that the Police Detective Bureau is more independent.

Luke is a detective in the Police Department's Robbery-Murder Division.

Commonly known as the serious crime team.

"Woooo..."

A black Harley motorcycle drove into the police station.

Luke took off his helmet and looked at the building of the police department with complicated emotions.

Huaguo police and Los Angeles police are completely different concepts, and the change of identity is not easy.

Huaguo police represent honor and an iron rice bowl, and Luke is also a part of this group with a strong sense of belonging.

Being a police officer in Los Angeles is just a job that pays well but carries the risk of being shot.

Luke has no sense of sacrifice for the people of Los Angeles.

It will take some time for him to fully integrate into the city.

At 8:59 in the morning, Luke stepped into the office of the First Squadron of the Robbery-Murder Division.

The office is divided into five areas, office area, lounge, meeting room, pantry, and captain's office.

Luke walked through the office area full of documents, and walked to his desk in the southwest corner. He behaved very low-key, but still attracted the attention of his colleagues.

"Yeah, as expected of a big star who always plays at the finale, not bad at all." A bald white man in his thirties pointed to the clock on the wall.

Luke snapped back the middle finger.

You can be an asshole if you want to be in the LAPD, you can't be a jerk.

"Crackling..."

The door of the captain's office opened, and a middle-aged Caucasian woman wearing black-rimmed glasses came out with a stack of documents under her right arm, "Everyone, go to the conference room for a meeting."

Susan, the captain of the First Squadron of the Robbery-Murder Division.

Luke hadn't seen her smile since he traveled to the Los Angeles Police Department, and he always had a serious face.

Luke doesn't like her very much, which may be one of the few consensuses between Luke and the rest of the team.

Luke was the last to enter the conference room and sat at the end of the conference table.

Susan put the document on the conference table, and pulled over to the whiteboard next to it, with a few large characters 'Taser Robbery' written on it.

"Everyone, since February 18, there have been two robberies in Los Angeles, both of which were committed on Friday night, and the tools used for the crime were Taser guns.

The two cases have many similarities, and it is likely that the same suspect was committed.

Vice-team Vincent, let me tell you about the progress of the case investigation. "

A dragging silver-haired old man continued, "The two victims are young white women with long blond hair and around 170cm tall.

They all received electric shocks from behind, and it is basically certain that the suspect used a Taser gun, but no scraps of paper were found at the scene..."

Taser guns have no bullets. Instead, they shoot charged 'darts' to subdue targets. They are also a non-lethal weapon commonly used by police.

Every time a Taser gun fires a pneumatic magazine, more than 40 small pieces of multicolored paper will be shot out, with the serial number of the gun printed on it, and the source of the gun can be found through the paper scraps.

"Apart from the similarities in appearance, no intersection between the two victims has been found. According to the victim's description, the suspect is likely to be a male with a hat on his head.

Because of the dim light at night, I couldn't see the suspect's face clearly..."

Vincent, a silver-haired old man, talked eloquently. He was over 60 years old and could continue to work thanks to the extension system of the Los Angeles Police Department.

He may be the oldest police officer in the police department or even in Los Angeles, with extensive scene investigation experience, but it is impossible to count on him to hunt down suspects.

"The crime scene was relatively remote. The female victim was found naked, and her cash, accessories, and clothes were all looted, but she was not harmed..."

Luke has not yet adapted to the identity of the Los Angeles policeman, and often sneaks around and fishes.

But when I heard the description of the case, I still couldn't help thinking about the case out of professional habits.

In the past, Luke also participated in the investigation of many robberies.

Generally speaking, the purpose of a robbery is usually very clear, either to rob money or to rob se.

But in this case, the suspect's purpose is not clear.

You say he robbed money, just ran away after robbing valuables, why take off his clothes?

Very unprofessional and increases the risk of getting caught.

You can say that he robbed se, but he didn't take any real action.

Very contradictory.

After Wen Sen's deputy team finished talking about the case, they went overboard and assigned tasks to the team members.

Luke was assigned to look over the surveillance, his least favorite job task.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Luke felt that Captain Susan's face became colder, and said with a London accent,

"To add to this, no one should disclose the details of the case to the media, they already know enough.

I don't want to see the relevant content of the case on the news again, understand? "

"Yes, captain."

...

Luke took a cup of coffee and sat at his desk to watch the monitor.

Investigation and monitoring is a common investigative method used by Huaguo criminal police.

The number of cameras in the United States is much less than that in Huaguo. It is a bit nonsense to talk about the per capita of the country with a similar land area.

Americans pay more attention to privacy. There are not many cameras for the purpose of monitoring public safety, and more are private cameras, which brings certain difficulties to the investigation.

This method of investigation, which has been tried and tested in China, is not very effective in Los Angeles.

A total of 2 robberies occurred, both on Friday night, and the monitoring time checked by Luke was between 8:00 and 12:00 in the evening.

As for why the suspect chose to commit the crime on Friday, Luke feels that it may have something to do with the salary system in the United States.

Many companies in the United States adopt a weekly or biweekly salary system, and wages are usually paid on Friday afternoon.

Of course, this is just his guess, and there is no relevant evidence.

In the morning, Luke had been checking the surveillance video, drank three cups of coffee, went to the toilet twice, and smoked two cigarettes.

At noon, I ate a beef burger, a French fries, a fried chicken leg, and a grilled chicken wing.

In the afternoon, I continued to check the monitoring system, and found no valuable clues despite the pantothenic acid in my eyes and numbness in my buttocks.

At 6.30, it's time to get off work.

Luke stood up, moved around, and packed up his things to leave.

The bald white man standing next to the printer looked at Luke and smiled, "You are more accurate than my alarm clock? Do you like this new nickname?"

Luke winked, "Alarm clock? Want to put me next to your bed? Your wife will definitely move on."

The bald white man said contemptuously, "Asshole."

"Don't always praise me, you will be proud.

See you tomorrow guys. "Luke left the office without saying a word.

The other team members had different expressions, some were envious and some were contemptuous, but none of them left. They were all prepared to work overtime when encountering such urgent cases.

The silver-haired old man spread his hands, a little helpless, "The robber may commit another crime the day after tomorrow, and this kid actually has an expression that has nothing to do with me.

Why is this kind of irresponsible kid still in the 'Robbery-Murder Division'?

Is this a nursing home? "

"Haha..." The colleagues let out a burst of laughter.

"He has always been an asshole, but he used to be more attentive in investigating cases." The white man pointed to his bald head, "The person has changed since he was injured. Could it be 'post-traumatic stress disorder'?"

The silver-haired old man sighed softly and waved his hand, "OK, let the captain worry about it.

I'm just a sub-team. "
