American Comprehensive Detective: Start with a black gun

Chapter 5 05 The case of the missing freight driver

Therefore, how could he give Howard a good face?

Why did he think that the whistleblower was Howard?

The reason is simple.

It was not easy for two of Arthur's men to find the residential address of a detective.

Their information is kept strictly confidential, of course, to prevent vengeful robbers from murdering their families.

So someone must have tipped off the two of them.

The whistleblower should undoubtedly be Howard.

Call records are evidence.

The first call came shortly after he clashed with Howard.

Then it can be boldly speculated that Howard told the killer his residential address through a strange phone call.

As for how Howard got the killer's contact information?

Howard should have found their phone number from Arthur's cell phone.

Howard has a clear purpose, in order to retrieve the recording and borrow a knife to kill someone.

Late last night.

Under the cover of night, the killer sneaked into his home.

It was too dark, and I accidentally touched the flower pot with my foot and left marks.

After entering the house, the two killers found that Ron had not returned home, and contacted Howard at one o'clock in the morning.

Howard let the killer live in Ron's house, waiting for Ron to come back.

In the morning, Howard found that Ron didn't go to work, and guessed that Ron might go home after spending the night outside.

So hastily contacted the two killers.

The killer was prepared, and a fierce gun battle ensued.

When Howard came to the scene just now to confirm whether the two killers were dead, it can be seen that this guy has a guilty conscience.

What Howard said later basically confirmed Ron's guess.

It is reasonable to speculate.

At least, in Ron's view, his speculation is the truth.

As for the evidence, he is not a policeman now, so why does Mao still talk about the evidence?
Freedom will suffice.

As for finding evidence of Howard's collusion with the killer by investigating that strange phone number.

If you waste your energy, you may get nothing.

Even if some evidence is found, the evidence may not be sufficient, and Howard has nothing to do with it.

Not pessimistic, but factual.

That strange number was probably a temporary calling card.

This kind of phone card has no registered user information, so it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find out who bought this card.

The law of the beautiful country follows the principle of innocence, that is, without a complete chain of evidence, the other party can easily be exonerated.

So, Ron didn't plan to check at all.

He doesn't have that energy and doesn't need to.

Facing Old Sean's inquiries, Ron had to cooperate a lot.

He told old Sean some of the strange things he found.

Old Sean looked complicated, and probably guessed something.

They are all old women, no, they are all old people.

This ability is still there.

"Recover well!"

Old Sean hesitated to speak.

In the end, he just patted Ron on the shoulder lightly and led him away.

This matter cannot be delved into.

He is also not good at participating.

Howard won't let him waste his time on it either.

What if something is found?
Howard still wants to silence, which is not good for everyone, so the two sides will probably tacitly assume that nothing happened.

As long as no problem is found, there is no problem.

An old man like Old Xiao En is undoubtedly a master at pretending to be confused.

Ron had just left the hospital after dealing with the skin trauma on his arm, and sent four anonymous letters without saying a word.

Three letters were sent to the newspaper, and one letter was delivered directly to the police station. The complaint letter went through internal channels, and it could be delivered to the director's desk today.Inside are recordings of Howard's racism and Howard's personal data.

The political leanings of the three newspapers are all in favor of the opposition party.The Los Angeles Police Chief is appointed by the mayor.

I believe that the opposition party is willing to report this kind of scandal that makes the ruling party feel ashamed.

When the newspaper comes out tomorrow, Howard will definitely face the double crisis of social death and unemployment.

Originally, he planned to leave quietly without taking any credit.

For Howard, he has done his best.

But the other party insisted on dying.

As for why it was unnecessary to send a letter to the police station?

The reason is simple, he still has to hang out in Los Angeles, and he can't get into too much trouble with the police.

If the police force takes this matter seriously, it may deal with Howard in advance.

Tomorrow's newspaper will report it, so it's completely possible to turn the customer's attention and self-promote a wave of whitewashing.

If anyone deliberately suppressed this news, the person who suppressed the news must also be a racist.

Most likely he will be pushed out to take responsibility for this matter, and he can be regarded as exterminating a pest for the police force.

In short, he gave the police a chance.

If you don't cherish it, you can't blame him.

The next day.

Ron pulled over to the side of the road.

He bought three newspapers, and Howard's picture appeared on the front page.

Two newspapers detailed Howard's disregard for the lives of his colleagues and his racism, and then extended to the dereliction of the police chief and the cronyism of the mayor, and Howard became a target for attacking the mayor.

The other newspaper didn't have any reports, and Ron remembered the name of the newspaper.

"L.A. Candide", simply sullied the name of Candide.

Ron drove away from the urban area, passing through a section of dense woods, and a well-defended four-story building appeared not far away.

The buildings are surrounded by thick walls and tall sentry towers, on which soldiers with live ammunition are patrolling.

The gate was locked tightly, and two soldiers in uniform stood on both sides of the gate.

There is also a black man by the gate.

The Negro smiled and waved to him.

This man's face was a bit long, and it looked like a black donkey's face, but it was almost the same. When he grinned, he had a mouthful of white teeth.

Slowing down and pulling over, the door opened, and the black man got into the car.

"Hi, my name is Sandy, the boss asked me to pick you up."

Sandy and Ron clashed fists.

"Hi, my name is Ron."

Maybe after saying hello in advance, the iron door opened automatically, and Ron drove along the road to the underground garage.

"Wow, I haven't met a new guy for a long time, it's really exciting. A handsome guy like you, I believe Irene will like you."

Sandy is a little familiar. When he speaks, he can't stop gesticulating with his hands, and with a unique accent, he looks like a crappy singer.

"Irene?"

"Irene is the only woman in the team, and also the only witch. She is very nice. I believe you will like her."

"Witch, does she know some mystical witchcraft?"

Ron is interested, maybe he can establish a good relationship with Irene and learn some mysterious witchcraft.

If you have skill points, you don't have to worry about not being able to learn them.

"No, her witchcraft has long been lost, and she can only mix some special potions."

"That's really a pity."

"By the way, what are your abilities?"

"Does numeracy count? I'm not bad at math."

"Man, this joke is really cold."

"So, what are your abilities?"

"It's not fair. You'll know sooner or later, though, that I have a good nose. Like I smell gunpowder, alcohol, and blood on you, and women's perfume, so you must have been in a fight lately, you're unlucky Hurt. Plus, you must have had a great time last night."

Ron glanced at Sandy in surprise.

There were indeed two intense firefights yesterday.

In both firefights, he won a landslide victory.

When Annie left in the morning, her legs were weak and she leaned on the wall to get out.

"Wow, what a great ability."

"Haha, it's really good. Unfortunately, it can only tell me what happened a day ago, and it will be inaccurate if it is longer. You know, there are too many smells in the world, and they will affect my judgment."

Sandy pointed to his nose and smiled wryly.

During the conversation, Ron and Sandy entered the elevator in the underground garage.

Ron learned from Sandy that the business scope of the Los Angeles branch not only includes Los Angeles, but also includes California.

The full name of the Los Angeles branch is the Los Angeles (California) branch.

"Ding!"

The elevator stopped on the second floor, and Sandy led Ron into an office.

The office furnishings are not much different from those of the police station.

The only difference is that there are not so many documents and the office is not so crowded.

Sandy took Ron to meet Irene, a blond girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.

The girl has some freckles on her face, is thin, wears glasses, and looks more like a high school student.

"Hi, my name is Ron, nice to meet you."

"Irene Sanchez, you can call me Irene."

The two shook hands, and when they let go, Irene scratched Ron's palm with her index finger.

Therefore, Ron no longer dared to treat the other party as a high school student.

Precocious girls are not too bad for pregnancy.

During the conversation, he learned that 19-year-old Irene is already the mother of a three-year-old child.

It's very American.

In addition to Irene and Sandy, there are three other people in the team who are on a business trip.

The deputy captain took two guys out to handle the case, so Sandy took Ron and knocked on Jonathan's door directly.

"Ron, you are welcome to join us, what do you think of this place?"

Jonathan held Ron's right hand, and patted the back of Ron's hand vigorously with his left hand, with a warm smile on his face.

"not bad."

After the two sat down, Jonathan looked at Ron seriously.

"If there is any trouble, you should tell me that the Special Investigation Bureau will never let its own people suffer. Although we are two lines from the police department, most of the time, we can let them cooperate with us unconditionally. You understand that this is actually It's a lot of power."

Ron knew that Jonathan was referring to the Howard incident.

"It's settled, isn't it?"

"Of course, the rubbish must be swept out by a righteous police force."

"Thank you!"

Ron sincerely thanks.

The reason why he thanked him was because there was a possibility that the police would reduce the major incident and demote Howard to the Qingshui yamen or grassroots as a patrol officer.

What Jonathan meant was that Howard would be fired by the police, and that kind of disgusting showmanship would naturally not happen.

Jonathan smiled indifferently. To him, it was just a phone call, not worth mentioning.

"Because you are a newcomer, there will be a three-month internship period. After the three-month internship period expires, you can change from a trainee investigator to a full-time investigator after passing the examination. Of course, if you want to become a full-time investigator faster, you can apply to participate in the investigation of the case." .As long as you can solve a case, you can immediately become a regular."

"The department is short of people?"

Under normal circumstances, he should start in the office now to familiarize himself with the situation.

Jonathan nodded with a wry smile.

"Correct!"

"I choose the latter."

Ron decisively chose the latter.

He joined the Special Investigation Bureau to enhance his strength.

Besides, Jonathan took such good care of him.

He deserves a positive response.

"Great, it just so happens that there is a case that requires two people to handle, and you and Sandy just form a team to investigate this case."

"Can I ask what the case is?"

"Many cases of missing freight drivers."
