"The time of death is more than five days, and it is suspected of drug overdose. However, pathological examination is still needed. We will send the body back to the bureau later." After a forensics department staff member inspected the scene, he gave Kai a simple Report.
"Yeah." Kai looked at the messy house, frowned and nodded.
He was not dissatisfied with the police officers working on the scene. To be honest, the quality of the police officers in the West District was quite high, at least much better than most Chicago police officers. Maybe this is the temperament of the city. Chicago is a city that is fading day by day. The whole city reveals an ancient and even decadent temperament. No matter how much rhetoric is used, it cannot hide the fact that Chicago is declining.
Sometimes, cities are like people. When they grow old, everything becomes full of twilight. Even if many people hope to revitalize that city, they can only patch it up and cannot restore it to its former glory.
But Los Angeles is different. As the influence of Hollywood expands, this city is like young people gradually approaching adulthood. Everything is full of vitality and hope. Many people think that they are in this city. In cities, as long as you work hard, you will always have a chance to get ahead.
So in comparison, people's passion for work is relatively high. At least the police in Los Angeles are a little more dedicated than the police in Chicago. At least they really regard the police job as a job, rather than just dawdling around like many Chicago police officers.
The reason why Kai frowned was because the smell in the room was really unflattering. The temperature in Los Angeles has been a bit abnormal in recent days. It's already winter, but the temperature has reached an unusually high 30 degrees. Although there are no distinct seasons in Los Angeles, such high temperatures are also very abnormal.
In addition, the location of the house is good, the lighting is very good, and there is sunshine most of the day. This causes the body lying in the living room to rot and swell, forming a giant view, and even suddenly ejects gas. The smell... is simply indescribable. , even a veteran detective like Kai, who has been at crime scenes for a long time, can't stand it.
"Find out the victim's relationship as soon as possible and notify her family."
Although Chloe, who was temporarily transferred to Kai's side, wanted to vomit several times, she still suppressed her nausea and silently wrote down Kai's request. Seeing her like this, Kai wanted to laugh. She reminded Kai of the first time he entered the scene. At that time, his master in the police force took him to the scene for the first time. It was a vendetta case and the case was not complicated. , it was actually just a quarrel between two families. As a result, the male owner of one of them became more and more unconvinced. He drank again at night, so he sneaked into the other person's house with a knife in the middle of the night. After that...
Anyway, Kai was still about the same as Chloe at that time, wanting to vomit but not daring to do so.
But his master didn't allow him to leave immediately, so he just kept him until the end. According to his master, this was training. Anyway, at that time, Kai always felt that his master had a smile on his lips when he said this.
Now Kai probably understands the form of his master.
It’s so interesting to see the rookie’s awkward and scared expression!
It's also interesting to say that Chloe is obviously a veteran police officer, but she has very few opportunities to enter the scene, and even less opportunities to see highly decomposed corpses like the Giant View. It can only be said that this girl was very well protected in the first half of her life.
…
When Kai returned to the police station, Chief Dustin called him over. He didn't say anything and just asked him to watch TV.
News about Elise's death is playing on TV.
The host on the TV was outside Elise's villa, using a very exaggerated expression to describe what happened in the house, but most of the content was nonsense. At the beginning, even Kai, the leader of the serious crime team, didn't know anything. According to insiders, these people... it's really a ghost.
Dustin seemed very talkative.
"Don't worry, reporters in Los Angeles...are completely different from those in Chicago. Their intelligence network is better than the police like me."
"It's nothing different. It's all just to attract attention." Kai laughed disdainfully.
"That's right." Dustin nodded, not paying attention to this, but said: "But the trouble they bring is much greater than Chicago. When they do this, our pressure will increase. As you can see, now It’s already on the news, so you should understand what the General Administration means.”
"Understood." But it's the same thing all over the world. If it attracts attention, the truth must be revealed as quickly as possible, otherwise those reporters will have something to say.
Dustin smiled. To be honest, he couldn't say he hated Kai's airborne landing, but he couldn't say he was happy either. After all, he is more optimistic about Dan, because strictly speaking, Dan is also his person. But now it seems that it is not a bad thing.
After all, an experienced head of the serious crime team is also a good thing for him as the director. Some things don’t require much talking, they can be solved in just one step, saving worry and effort.
When Kai returned to the homicide unit, Chap was already waiting in his office.
"This is the information you asked for."
Chap threw over a whole stack of information.
Kai raised an eyebrow.
"so much?"
Chap took out a cigarette and gestured. Kai waved his hand, indicating that he was casual.
After lighting the cigarette, Chap took a nice puff and said: "Los Angeles is different from other places. There are no particularly big gangs. It is highly fragmented. There are many gangs but they are small in scale. Where am I now? This is just the West Side. of gangsters.”
Los Angeles is also the most exposed city in the United States. Because of this, there are rarely large-scale gangs like other big cities. After all, it is too high-profile here and too easy to be a target. Both the police and the FBI like to deal with the kind of thorny people who like to show off, because as long as they deal with one, it will be a full credit.
But don’t underestimate the gangs of Los Angeles because of that.
Their scale is not large, but they are more like the Italian Mafia at the beginning of the last century. They are based on family units and are not large in scale, but they are well-organized, highly confidential, and ruthless. They rarely think about fighting for territory like street gangsters in other cities. Generally speaking, they like to solve problems in the dark-killing their opponents directly and then throwing them into the sea.
So the level of cruelty is not low at all.
"Tsk... The little demon in the temple is very windy, and the water is shallow and there are too many tortoises." Kai said with emotion in Chinese.
"What?" Chap looked confused.
"I just learned Chinese the day before yesterday. It means that there are so many gangs in this place." Kai explained.
"Do you know Chinese?" Chap looked admiring. He has a Chinese tattoo on his body, which was tattooed for his girlfriend. The meaning is probably from the heart, implying that his girlfriend is the goddess who came from his heart. It's a beautiful tattoo. It took Chap several days to learn this word. That word is 'song'.
Well, it's just 'cowardly'.
It's a good thing he has a tattoo on his heart, otherwise Kai would probably die laughing.
Fortunately, Chap wasn't interested in sharing something so personal with Kai yet. He shook his head and said: "This is Los Angeles. It's easy for gangs to make money and they don't need so many manpower."
Indeed, the city of Los Angeles is much easier to live with than Chicago. Whether it is providing some illegal services to upper-class people or running a few bars and nightclubs that sell illegal drugs, you can make a lot of money. There is no need to do something so big. scale.
If there are more people, there will be more people sharing the money, right?
Kai nodded, didn't speak, just looked through the information silently, and the room suddenly fell into silence.
Almost ten minutes passed.
Kai pulled out a dozen copies of the information and threw them in front of Chap.
"I have read your information and know what you have done before. Now I ask you to do it again."
Chap was stunned for a moment while holding a cigarette in his mouth.
"this……"
"Don't look at me like that. You are an old police officer. You should know that if you really want to follow the law in everything, we can't fight those bastards. Otherwise, this city will be over sooner or later! I'm not here to talk nonsense with those incomprehensible lawyers. It’s better to send these gangs who are the most ruthless to prison together. It’s good for the civilians and us!”
After Kai knew that he would be transferred, he did some research on the major crimes unit. I understand why Chap has been wasting his time until now. Unlike Dan who is too serious, Chap has always been criticized for his handling of cases, and he is used to using some crooked ways.
But the problem is that Kai is not the kind of person who follows the old ways. The chief architect of reform and opening up said it well: It doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat!
Although Chap is not a White Lotus, he has a bottom line. There are no perfect people in this world. But he always remembers that he is a policeman. It is enough to know one's responsibilities. Sometimes, a person's position can replace many things.
"Anyway, I want to find out who these gangs are in the shortest possible time, and then... you understand, right?"
"Understood." Chap smiled, his slightly parted lips showing his fangs, like a hunting beast.
"Do it cleanly." Kaiti nodded to prevent Chap from having too much fun and it wouldn't be fun except for the disclosure.
"give it to me!"
Chap left Kai's office excitedly.
In recent days, the chaos in the underground world of Los Angeles has made the top brass of the police department very unhappy, so Kai knew very well that even if he went a little too far, as long as he did not disclose it, those above him would be very happy to turn a blind eye. Eye.
That's why Kai would let Chap step on the line.
As soon as Chap left, Dan came to Kai's office with Chloe and an forensics officer.
Kai took out two cigars from the cigar box on his desk, threw one to Dan, and lit the cigar himself. Seeing this scene, Chloe coughed subconsciously and slapped the front of her nose.
Seeing this scene, Dan stopped lighting his cigar. Then he put away his cigar.
And Kai didn't care about Chloe, please! He is the leader!
Kai just looked at Dan with a very strange look, and Dan behaved a little embarrassedly, lowering his head and playing with the cigar in his hand.
"Report the situation, Dan, you go first."
Dan then returned to normal, and he began to report a series of work situations in great detail. It can be seen that Dan does lack management experience. His reports are basically very detailed and detailed, and even the expenditures of the serious crime team are reported.
Even if this thing is reported, there is no need to be in such a hurry. Besides, the expenses of the serious crime team are not under his control. The police station has financial management!
However, given his lack of experience, he did not interrupt.
It took almost half an hour before Dan finished his report.
"Dan... in future reports, try to be as concise as possible. I only need to know the situation. You can keep an eye on specific things. You don't need to report to me at any time." After saying that, Kai didn't say any more. After all, he didn't do it the first time. Experience can also be understood. "Let's talk about the case. After all, it's my first case in Los Angeles."
"The deceased's name is Elise, a female star who has only become popular in the past two years. She is only 21 years old this year. She entered the industry at the age of sixteen. At the age of nineteen, she starred in the special effects blockbuster movie "The Brave Iron King Kong" by the great director Bang Bei. She has become famous and is famous for her sexiness. She is known as the sexy goddess, but she has been in a bit of trouble recently. It seems that she made a lot of noise because she said something wrong, so she is basically out of the public eye now. It seems that she is planning to avoid the limelight."
Chloe also spoke seriously about the background information of the deceased. This Elise can be regarded as a young man. Although the name Brave and Iron King Kong is very vulgar, it is indeed a big Hollywood IP. It is an animation IP developed by Hasbro (HASBRO), the largest toy manufacturer in the United States in the 1980s. It was originally intended for Selling toys, the animation turned out to be more popular than the toys, and it really boosted the sales of toys. In short, it is a very big IP.
This is a series of movies. Elis has signed a contract for the trilogy, but he accidentally offended the director and a group of Jews by saying something before. It was almost blurry. The trilogy has nothing to do with her, and the second part can be released, but she is destined to not have many job opportunities in the future. Even if she does, she will not be a big cast, and can only work in some third-rate and second-rate productions. , the future is worrying.
You must know that in Hollywood, Jews are considered to be the most vocal group in Hollywood. Even top stars will not feel comfortable if they offend them, let alone a sexy actress who only has a body and a face?
"She is from Montana. She has three brothers and two sisters. We have notified her parents, and they will probably call the police at noon tomorrow. She has no criminal record before, although her reputation in the circle is not good. That’s great, but in fact, apart from her tendency to talk nonsense, she doesn’t have any bad deeds. It’s common to offend people… but it shouldn’t be to the point of killing her.”
"Where's the cause of death?" Kai looked at the person in the forensics department.
"She overdosed, but what's interesting is that we found some special substances in her body, which are different from the substances contained in all the drugs on the market now. As for whether her death is related to these substances, we It’s not clear yet and further experiments are needed.”
"Were any remaining drugs found in her house?"
"No... not even a trace of residue"
"Hmph, it seems that there were people around her when she died!" The reason is very simple. For those of them who are obvious, they are not like those poor drug addicts who have no money to buy medicine, so naturally they will not eat every meal. purchase. The house has now been cleared of any trace of drugs.
