nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 141
On the phone, Taoxi felt that Geoffrey Kyle's voice was very haggard. Before Taoxi could speak, there was even a quarrel on the other end of the phone.

"Tausi! Are you following up the recent case in Los Angeles?"

Tao Xi answered Jeffrey Kyle's question very simply: "You are talking about the [Walker] case, I expect to be able to solve the case by tomorrow night at the latest."

As soon as this sentence was said, Tao Xi heard a heavy sigh coming from the other end of the phone.

"Solve the case as soon as possible!"

"I've been kicked out of this case."

"Kick it out? Are you sure you're not joking with me?" Tao Xi asked in disbelief.

Jeffrey Kyle, who put his feet on the desk, glanced helplessly at the two groups standing outside the office, who were about to fight, and replied helplessly to Tao Xi: "Of course! The pressure of public opinion from the outside media And the increasingly tense atmosphere inside the police station has made many of us old guys a little overwhelmed."

Tao Xi immediately figured it out when he heard Jeffrey Kyle's answer.

Conservatives like Jeffrey Kyle brought a group of wardens to protest because of the private ownership of American prisons. No matter how the times progress, it is understandable that there are voices of change in the police station.

But it's not wise for those people to stir up conflicts between the two gangs when a murderer is committing crimes like crazy!
"It seems that your call is not to ask me for clues."

"I did have a bit of a struggle at the beginning because I had some contracts with the ATF."

"If those damn radicals in the LAPD find out that the case they managed to get their hands on was cracked by the Department of Justice in less than 24 hours, I think their face will definitely be trampled in the dirt, right? "

Jeffrey Kyle became energetic when he heard Tao Xi's words, and Jeffrey Kyle couldn't care less about talking to Tao Xi.

He first rushed outside the office and yelled at the two gangs who were arguing: "Fxxk! You bastards, don't you only have some interests in your eyes? We are colleagues! Since Drew Abbott If you want to be in charge of the [Wanderer Serial Rape and Murder Case], then give it to him!"

As soon as Jeffrey Kyle said these words, the group of detectives who looked very senior and very old were stunned for an instant.

The young lads standing opposite them looked at them gloatingly. The radicals of the Los Angeles Police Department were these highly educated and high-quality young lads.

And those conservatives are Mr. Police who graduated from the State Police Academy and the Federal Police Academy like Jeffrey Kyle.

The silence in the office hall lasted for less than a quarter of an hour, and a high-spirited young policeman also walked out of the office next door to Jeffrey Kyle.

Jeffrey Kyle glanced at Drew Abbott and immediately walked up with enthusiasm: "Drew, you just took over [Computer Data Group] and [Investigation and Analysis Section], and you came to work? "

"I think you were right at the meeting! We should welcome the power of technology to help the police with open arms."

"I will ask the police officers of the Publicity Department of the Park Center to prepare a press conference for you as soon as possible. After all, the California government has high support and expectations for you! I just received a call from the director, who said that you applied for 300 million The dollar budget has been approved."

"[Wanderer Serial Rape and Murder Case] ​​I leave it to you!"

Drew Abbott was super happy to see that old guy Jeffrey Kyle took the initiative to subdue him in front of so many policemen.

Yes, that's right, he is a nail in the Los Angeles Police Department by the state government!
There are many state government congressmen standing behind him, but he still has to give Jeffrey the face he deserves. Many key departments of the police department are still in his hands. Without Jeffrey's support, he would be very Hard to hit the ground running!

"Hahaha, Uncle Jeffrey, you are being polite."

"When my father was still there, he often taught me about your glorious deeds at home."

"But don't worry, since you have handed over the case to me, I will definitely solve the case as quickly as possible."

Geoffrey Kyle patted Drew Abbott on the shoulder with a smile and didn't say much. Just before he turned and entered the office, he seemed to suddenly remember something and turned back to sit in his office The secretary at the door asked: "I remember that our police station received an invitation from [Fox News Channel] not long ago? Promise them, just tonight, let the deputy chief, Mr. Drew Abbott, talk about Los Angeles The determination of the police station to solve this case!"

The group of old policemen who stayed outside left the police station lobby with resentment on their faces, while the group of young policemen seemed to have received some imperial decree and didn't care at all that Jeffrey Kyle was still in the office.
-
A pigeon building with a height of only 6 meters but divided into two floors was built outside the living area of ​​Auckland International Airport.

Although this pigeon building may not look big, you can see dozens of apartments in its slightly crowded corridors. Some of these apartments have closed doors, and some of them are just open. If you look inside, There are many people living in it.

The door of one of the apartments was ajar, and there were two 1-meter-tall black sweaters standing at the door. These two people looked like they were not good people.

In the apartment, a Mexican man was holding a string of gold ornaments in his hand, carefully looking at the lines on the gold ornaments with a magnifying glass, and nonchalantly said to Richard Reva Ramirez, who was standing opposite him with a timid face. : "Riccardo! You have quite a lot of good stuff recently!"

Ricardo didn't say a word when he heard this, he just grinned, and the moment he smiled, the Mexican with a magnifying glass covered his nose and waved his hand in disgust: "How long have you brushed your teeth?" Stinks, $400 for a 7 oz gold necklace."

When Ricardo heard that he only gave 400 dollars, he immediately became a little unhappy.

"Don't be unhappy! Do the math and you owe me $300, and I haven't calculated the interest yet!"

"If you don't like it, don't come to me in the future."

Ricardo opened his mouth and nodded helplessly, but the Mexican didn't give Ricardo cash, but gave him a transparent plastic bag, which contained many small white pills.

Ricardo probably counted the small pills inside and left.

The two burly men at the door teased him with various slang words when they saw Li Duoli's back, but Ricardo didn't dare to turn around and argue.

These two burly men must have never imagined that this Ricardo, who always looks timid in front of anyone, is the [Night Walker] who has recently brought panic to the entire California.

Ricardo's home is not very far from the Pigeon House. Because of the establishment of the Auckland International Airport, the area where he lives no longer has a community name.

When a dilapidated house appeared in front of his eyes, Ricardo took out a key from under the floor mat at the door and skillfully opened the door of the house.

The room seemed to have not been tidied up for a long time, and the household garbage everywhere made the whole house smell bad.

But Ricardo didn't care. The first time he walked into the room, he turned on the CD player in the room, and the AC/DC songs were sung instantly.

Lying on the sofa, Ricardo first took out a small pill from his pocket and neatly put it in the glass bottle, intoxicatedly sucking the white gas inside.

A huge pentagram pattern is drawn on the wall behind the sofa, and the AC/DC posters that can be seen everywhere in the living room add a little bit of horror atmosphere to the room.

"what!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Ricardo suddenly seemed to be nervous, listening to the voice in the CD player waving his arms constantly, and occasionally one or two choruses of music sounded, and Ricardo would continue to hum while holding the glass bottle.

Ricardo, who was limp on the sofa, had a satisfied smile on his face, and the TV that Ricardo turned on was playing Drew Abbott's speech accepted by Fox News Channel.

[I firmly believe that under my leadership, the Los Angeles Police Department will arrest the Night Walker as quickly as possible]

[I will strengthen the police patrols around Los Angeles in the next week to protect the personal safety of every tax-paying citizen]

【.】

Ricardo with a confused face suddenly got up and smashed the glass bottle in his hand on the floor and said viciously to Drew Abbott on the TV: "Do you believe in Satan!"

After saying these words, the veins on Ricardo's neck suddenly bulged, and the pimples on Ricardo's face kept surging one by one like the skin of a toad.

"Since you dare to challenge me! Then you accept the challenge from the satanic messenger!"

Tao Xi, who was lying on the roof, murmured along the gap, "Drew? I don't know such a fool at all! Did you step into the trap that Jeffrey gave you so easily?"

In fact, according to the normal procedures of the American police, unless it is a case of a certain nature, the police are not allowed to provoke conflicts or warn suspects in front of the TV.

Because this will 100% arouse the resentment and rebellious psychology of the suspects who have not been arrested.

Tao Xi knows this kind of basic knowledge, it doesn't make sense, the deputy director on the TV doesn't know!
On the contrary, Marco rubbed his nose proudly and kept recalling that the two of them accidentally found clues about Ricardo in a small supermarket near Oakland International Airport.

"But shouldn't you thank me for smelling Ricardo's breath the first time?"

"Yes, yes, you are the best!" Tao Xi couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Marco, who was just like a child: "I'll give you a long vacation after I'm done with this time, so that you can take a good rest." Get busy with the car factory!"

Marco nodded in satisfaction when he heard Tausi's promise, but instead of staying on the roof of Ricardo's house, Marco moved quietly towards the place where the two of them parked the RV .

Because Tao Xi just told him that there will be a call from the US Department of Justice in a while, and Marco needs to answer it.

"By the way, Tao Xi, don't forget to record the sound pen!"

After hearing Marco's reminder, Tao Xi realized that he hadn't placed the recording pen and video camera in the suspect's house yet, because the two of them and Ricardo came here almost at the same time, so Tao Xi didn't have any information at all. Time to go in and install recording equipment and video cameras.

Ricardo inside the room had gradually calmed down after a short period of madness. In order not to disturb Ricardo, Tao Xi glanced at the chimney not far away, and then carefully stepped on the bricks and tiles on the roof and walked towards the chimney. past.

Ricardo's house hadn't been repaired for a long time. The roof tiles didn't look very solid, and there were still many wooden boards that had been soaked due to rain leakage.

In order not to have any accidents, Tao Xi took every step carefully.

But the more careful you are, the more accidents are likely to happen. When he was approaching the chimney, he stepped on a slab with one foot!
"Oh! Fxxk!"

Seeing the roof where one foot had already stepped on, Tao Xi didn't intend to suppress his voice at all, he was already planning to subdue that damned "Satanist" with his bare hands!

But after a long time, Tao Xi didn't hear any movement downstairs. Instead, Tao Xi, who pulled his foot back, took a serious look at Ricardo and found that he was actually snoring slightly.

Seeing this scene, Tao Xi directly jumped off the roof and walked to Ricardo's door in a fair manner.

"I actually forgot the most crucial point, people who take drugs will lose contact with the outside world for a short time!"

Tao Xi who opened the door didn't care about Ricardo's possible discovery of his existence. Tao Xi first put the recording pen under the sofa where Ricardo was lying, and then circled around Ricardo's room for a long time. After turning around, he left the room.

There were no clues in the house, and the only thing that could be the "murder weapon" was probably a hammer and a shovel that Ricardo placed in the corner of the kitchen.

The boring life and the chaotic bottom make Ricardo's life nothing but violence and drugs. In addition, the cheap drug "crack" that suddenly became popular recently made Ricardo quickly fall into the ranks of serial murderers. .

Tao Xi carefully filled the hole in the roof while analyzing Ricardo's criminal mind.

Tao Xi has seen many prisoners like Ricardo in Prison No. 86, be it crimes of passion or deliberate crimes, but this person will definitely have a hard time in the future!

The criminal who was targeted by the U.S. Department of Justice did not have a good result in the end!

In the end, Ricardo was either imprisoned in the Rhode Island Prison, or died alone in a prison outside the United States. The Justice Bureau is much more prestigious than the police station!

I just don’t know what plans Prince will have when I see him later~
