The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Wearing a black suit, Campos entered the Coast Building, took the elevator directly to the 16th floor, and entered Hawke's office.

Hawke had received a call from him earlier, asking, "Have your people returned from New York?"

Some time ago, Erica received a package in the Special Operations Bureau, which contained a video of torture and murder. The video has been transferred to the Detective Bureau.

Based on the postmark location, Hawke asked Campos to send someone to take a look.

Campos opened his briefcase, took out some photos, put them on the table, and said, "There is a hotel near the mailbox where the mail is delivered. There is a camera at the door of the hotel, but when our people went there, the footage had been overwritten. Fortunately, the storage hard disk used by the surveillance camera was replaced due to equipment upgrades, and only a layer of content was overwritten. Our people bought the surveillance storage disk at a high price and tried to recover it, and recovered most of the data."

Hawke picked up the photos and looked through them one by one. There were nine different people on them, three women and six men.

Campos said: "The mailbox is located in a relatively remote location. The post office said that on average there are only about a dozen pieces of mail a day. These should be the majority of people on that day. There is no way to recover the lost data."

Hawke picked out a photo because it showed a middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance, holding a black mail package in his hand.

Almost identical to what Erica had brought home.

Campos kept talking: "We also listed this person as the first suspect. We looked for him in nearby businesses and apartments with his photo. In one McDonald's restaurant, two waiters recognized him."

Edward then brought water.

Campos thanked him and continued, "That day, this guy knocked over a large cup of Coke, which spilled all over the table and the floor. The two waiters were on duty and cleaned up together. According to them, the guy apologized repeatedly and gave them a $20 tip."

Hawke frowned slightly, looked at the photo carefully, and interrupted, "Are you sure it's this person?"

"They are sure!" Campos added, "They also provided a clue. The man spoke with a heavy accent, and he sounded like he was from Ukraine."

Hearing about Ukraine, Hawke couldn't help but look up: "Former Soviet republic?"

Campos nodded. "One of the two waiters was a Romanian immigrant. Before he immigrated, he lived near the border between Romania and Ukraine. Occasionally, he would hear some Ukrainians speaking English."

Edward suddenly interrupted and asked, "Could it be the Russians who did it?"

There is no way. Twitter has had many connections with Russia recently, either directly or indirectly. During this period, a real Russian spy case broke out, which easily makes people associate it with this aspect.

“There are no guarantees.” Campos would not mislead: “This is what we know so far.”

Hawke picked up other photos and looked at them. The mail packages in the other photos were obviously not black.

Looking at the middle-aged man again, apart from the package, everything else looks very ordinary.

The clothes and shoes are of very common styles on the market.

Hawke said: "I have seen a statistic that since the upheaval in Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, a large number of immigrants from Slavic or Eastern Europe have come to North America. No one can tell how many Russian spies are mixed in among them."

Although Old Ye is like a lapdog in front of America, anyone who can sit in that position would not really be completely defenseless against America.

Moreover, the Russian intelligence agencies may not have a clear count of how many spies the KGB once sent to North America.

After all, this is a country whose development depends on selling resources, and whose science and technology and military rely on archaeology.

Hawke thought for a moment, then asked Campos, "Did you encounter any unexpected problems or other problems during the investigation?"

Campos shook his head directly. "No, our people checked the mailbox and quickly found the camera at the hotel entrance. After recovering the data, they took the photos and quietly inquired in the vicinity. They got the news in the McDonald's restaurant. At that time, the people were divided into three teams. One team inquired about the news, and the other two teams hid in the dark to protect and prepare for the attack, but nothing happened."

Hawke wondered: "If this was done by Russian spies, what was their purpose in sending the video discs?"

Edward had also seen the video: "Could it be related to a cult?"

Hawke was also thinking about this aspect. The inverted pentagram that appeared in the background of the video was exactly the same as the mark on the bodies of the two murdered girls Erica encountered when she was in the detective bureau.

The inverted pentagram is a standard of Satanism, which is not difficult to find, but Satanism is a legal religious organization in the United States, and its activities are mainly carried out on the East Coast.

Erica checked at the time and was under pressure from her superiors. The forces behind her took the opportunity to transfer and she was promoted to the Special Operations Bureau.

But Hawke still knows a lot of secrets, not from Erica or the LAPD's investigation, but from his memories of his past life.

The influence of Satanism far exceeds that of Scientology, and Scientology's main development target is concentrated in Hollywood.

Tom Cruise and John Travolta are among the most popular actors.

Although Satanism has representative figures in the entertainment industry such as Lady Gaga, its influence has been expanding into the political arena, and some people believe that it has a direct connection with Lolita Island.

Another connection is Hillary.

At the same time as the previous life email scandal was exposed, several photos appeared on the Internet, showing scenes of Hillary and others attending Satanist gatherings and enjoying soul cooking.

At first, Hawke thought the photo was a composite, after all, it was a critical period in the election.

But later it was confirmed by many sources that the photos were all real. Hillary had a deep connection with Satanism.

What is the current relationship between Satanism and Hillary? Hawke thinks that the two sides did not establish contact suddenly, and they might have already become an adulterer.

This bitch, Hillary...

Hawke suddenly had a feeling that someone was trying to instigate his side to fight against the Satanists.

If Satanism gets involved in Lolita Island and hooks up with that rotten crotch of Hillary, then it will be more than just Satanism.

Hawke thought of more things from this. If Erica had a little more sense of justice and responsibility as a detective, and was dissatisfied with being forced to leave the police station, and insisted on investigating the matter based on the video footage she received, this matter might have been intensified and triggered a war.

In LAPD’s propaganda, Erica is an angel of justice, a crime nemesis, a hard-core female detective, and a symbol of LAPD’s protection of the people.

Actually, these do exist, but other than the ruthless ones, the others are relatively rare.

But only those who truly understand Erica know this.

Edward then said, "Boss, Russian revenge?"

"It's very likely." Hawke didn't jump to conclusions because something was not right. He looked at Campos: "Is the mailbox close to the hotel?"

Campos said, "Yes, less than twenty meters away, it's a three-star hotel."

Hawke picked up the photo again and said after thinking for a while, "Generally speaking, if a hotel reaches a star level, there will be surveillance cameras at the front entrance."

He looked at Campos. "Last time I asked you to go to Las Vegas to mail something to Fox TV, did you choose a similar place?"

Campos shook his head: "I would never choose a place like this."

Hawke added: "A Romanian immigrant happened to meet an immigrant from Ukraine at the McDonald's restaurant where he worked. This kind of coincidence cannot be said to be impossible. After all, America is a country of immigrants."

Campos understood: "Is someone misleading us?"

Edward's thoughts were much simpler: "But we do have conflicts with Russia. It's reasonable for them to retaliate against us, right?"

Hawke was also unsure. After thinking for a while, he said to Campos, "Ask someone who has been to McDonald's to go back and see if the two waiters are still there. If not, ask them when they applied for the job and when they left."

"I'll send someone to New York and go to that McDonald's." Campos left the office in a hurry. When he entered the elevator, he had already made a phone call and asked someone to go to New York immediately.

Hawke was not idle. He picked up his phone and called Erica, asking, "Do you remember the black package you received in the mail with the CD in it?"

Erica said, "I have already handed the CD to my superiors, and the Special Operations Bureau has forwarded it to the Detective Bureau."

"The people who went to New York to investigate brought back some information..." Hawke recounted in detail what Campos had said and his speculation about the Russians.

Erica said: "On the surface, it looks a lot like the Russians did it, and they had enough reasons to do it, to embarrass Twitter continuously, and then to do something against us without having to do it themselves."

She thought for a moment and said, "Once your people have checked that McDonald's, they will be able to confirm whether it is the case."

The situation is very clear. If McDonald's is not playing tricks and everything described is true, the two waiters are likely still working in the restaurant.

On the contrary, the two must have left the restaurant.

Erica asked, "I'll go ask the detective bureau how the CD investigation is going."

Hawke said, "Go ask."

This was what Erica handed in, so it was normal to ask about it. She hung up the phone with Hawke and called the detective bureau to inquire about the relevant situation.

The answer was as expected.

The CD sent by the Special Operations Bureau was recorded by the Detective Bureau and stored in the archives.

There was only a video on the CD, no bodies of the victims, no family members or security guards of the victims, no information about the crime scene, and even the video on the CD could be said to be a homemade movie shot by a group of heavy taste enthusiasts imitating some kind of religious ritual.

Besides, the CD was mailed from New York.

Even if a murder really happened, it happened in New York and it has nothing to do with the LAPD.

Erica turned the CD over to her supervisor, which did not constitute a report to the police.

The Special Operations Bureau transferred the case to the Detective Bureau, which also does not constitute a report of crime.

This case does not exist at all. (End of this chapter)
