Investigation Team No. 5, office area.
Everyone looked at Mona, waiting for her next words.
"That group of black men were members of a small black gang in the Fordham community, the Cigar Gang."
Mona tapped the keyboard a few times and showed the information in the computer to everyone:
"Agent Norton from the Organized Crime Investigation Division just sent me a piece of information.
It shows that the "Cigar Gang" is currently working hard to expand its area of dominance. "
Luo An picked up the coffee and took a sip:
"It's really not surprising."
"Yeah."
Mona nodded, and then suddenly laughed:
"But because of you and Ryder, the Cigar Gang will probably be destroyed soon."
Luo An made a move:
"What's the meaning?"
When others heard this, they also looked puzzled.
Mona didn't sell it, she just smiled and explained:
"The "Cigar Gang" was established not long ago and there are not many people.
A large number of those people you killed were key members of the "Cigar Gang."
Now that the key members are dead, the boss of the "Cigar Gang" has recently offended many other gangs in nearby areas in order to expand his territory, so..."
The agents suddenly realized, and then looked at Luo An with admiration again.
Luo An raised his eyebrows, not expecting that this operation would have such an effect.
He planned to go back and chat with Norton from the Organized Crime Bureau to see if there was anything he could gain.
However, the fight between the gangs can be put aside for now. The murder of the female judge in hand is still the most important thing now.
So Luo An looked at Mona and asked again:
"Have you found out why those guys from the "Cigar Gang" met with Ava Miller in the hotel?"
"No."
Mona shook her head and said she had not found anything, but Edwin Miller was already awake and he must know the reason behind it.
——
In the hospital, after hearing Luo An's question, Edwin Miller, who was lying on the hospital bed, endured the pain from the wound and explained with an ugly face:
"It's because Avar's doing business with those niggas!"
Edwin said that some time ago, Avar got a batch of weapons from nowhere and planned to sell them to the "Cigar Gang".
Today is the day when Avar and the Cigar Gang meet to discuss the price.
Meeting in a hotel was also Avar's idea.
But unexpectedly, as soon as they met today, those niggas took out their guns and pointed them at Avar and Edwin, intending to exchange the lives of their brothers for these weapons.
"..."
Lacey standing aside was speechless.
But if you think about it carefully, this behavior is in line with the behavior habits of black people.
Luo An was not surprised by this. When doing business with gangsters, you must always be prepared for the other party's ideas of taking advantage of the gangsters.
Especially since the other party was a gang that had just been established and was composed of low-level black people.
After scratching a few words in the notebook, Luo An asked:
"You said before that you had important clues you wanted to tell us. What are the clues?"
"Sander-Diane, ****"
Upon hearing Luo An's question, Edwin immediately reported a name and a series of numbers, and then gritted his teeth and said seriously:
“This is the fake identity that Avar bought, and the social security number for that fake identity.
You guys must catch him and send him to jail! "
Edwin is a veteran who fought for this country as a young man and has always abided by the laws of this country since his return.
But some time ago, he lost his job and was unable to pay the high alimony on time.
With no other choice, Edwin chose to seek refuge with his cousin, who had been in and out of prison over the years, hoping to make some extra money with his help.
What made Edwin happy was that Avar agreed without hesitation, and showed him everything without treating him as an outsider at all.
But what makes Edwin angry is that the reason Avar doesn't treat him as an outsider is because he doesn't want him to live at all, but treats him as a human shield for this transaction.
Today, the two met with the Cigar Gang and learned that the Cigar Gang planned to take advantage of others. Edwin was very nervous, but Avar did not panic at all.
Hearing the gunfire from downstairs, Avar immediately pushed Edwin towards the Cigar Gang's gun, broke the glass, jumped from the second floor and escaped.
"..."
After listening to Edwin's narration and looking at his dark expression, Roan and Lacey looked at each other and saw the speechless look in the other's eyes.
As expected of Ava Miller, who has been to jail more times than he has been home.
After writing his name and social security number into a small notebook, Luo An was silent for a few seconds, raised his head and briefly described the general circumstances of the shooting of the judge in front of the bakery, and then asked:
"Next to the body, we found two 9mm bullets with Avar's fingerprints on them.
What does this case have to do with Avar? "
"..."
Edwin Miller opened his mouth without speaking, lowered his head and remained silent.
Luo An's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this, and Lacey's expression on the side also became serious.
It seems that there is something else going on behind this.
After hesitating for a long time, Edwin licked his chapped lips and looked up at Roan and Lacey:
"Before I say this, I ask that you grant me full immunity in this case."
Lacey raised her eyebrows, not expecting that Edwin was involved in this case.
She turned to look at Luo An and saw Luo An put away his notebook and grinned:
“Then it depends on whether the information you mentioned is useful.
If the information you tell us can help us solve this case, we will fight for you in front of a judge. "
"...OK."
After a long silence, Edwin took a long breath and said in a deep voice:
“I stole ten pistols and a bunch of bullets from there after Avar showed me the weapons he had got.
And secretly sold them behind Avar's back. "
The reason why Edwin asked Roan and Lacey to grant him immunity was because he was hiding it now, and he would still reveal it after the FBI caught Avar.
Because although Avar has been in and out of prison many times, he has never sold a gun alone, and this is his first time negotiating with the Cigar Gang.
On the other hand, it was Edwin Miller who loaded the gun.
In a legal sense, he was an accomplice in the murder.
Speaking of this now, Edwin still had a reason to intercede with the judge in court.
If he keeps hiding it but the FBI still finds out about it, Edwin will be in trouble later.
At the age of forty, Edwin once again relived the torture of life and death. Now he just wants to live well for the rest of his life.
After listening to Edwin's description, Lacey rolled her eyes.
In the whole emotional story, there is not a single good person.
Luo An didn't pay attention to this matter and asked directly:
"Do you remember who those guns and ammunition were sold to?"
"certainly!"
Edwin nodded:
"I was very cautious about this matter. I used paper and pen to record the time and place of every transaction."
"Good."
Throwing the notebook to Lacey, Luo An patted his thigh and stood up from the chair:
"We need this notebook."
Edwin was very cooperative:
"no problem!"
——
That night, due to the seriousness of the case and the large amount of public attention, the No. 5 investigation team was forced to work overtime.
As for Avar Miller, the No. 5 Investigation Team handed over his information to the special task force pursuit department under the major incident response team, and they went to hunt him down.
Taking the custom-made burger thrown by Augustus, Luo An took a bite, looked at Mona, and asked:
"How's it going? Did you find anything?"
Mona shook her head, she was looking.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Patting Mona on the shoulder, Luo An was about to hand her another burger when William, who was not far away, suddenly slapped the table and shouted excitedly:
"I found a clue!"
