After the thugs sucked up to Louis and got the story of how he "attacked the police," they instantly felt that they had been cheated and that their pride had been hurt.
Enraged, they pressed Louis to the ground and gave him a good beating.
Thankfully, Louis reacted quickly and was experienced. He decisively played dead to protect his vitals, and wasn't seriously injured.
Even so, Louis was still unkempt and unkempt. His clothes were untidy, and there were blood stains on him. He looked like a homeless man.
He couldn't have asked for more if Luke wanted to take him away.
He swore that he would never mention that he had been arrested for assaulting a police officer again in another cell. He would only say that he had run into a violent police officer.
"Don't mess with the guy next to you. He's an old guy from K9. He can bite off your hand in one bite," said Luke.
"Gold Nugget, be good. He stinks. He won't taste good." He comforted Gold Nugget in passing, in case it got impatient and bit Louis.
Gold Nugget didn't have a good temper.
It was just that Luke and Selina had taught it not to bare its teeth at ordinary people.
But it had robbed many hooligans with Selina, and knew that criminals had no rights in Luke's place. It wouldn't do anything if it bit them, as long as they didn't become disabled.
Louis looked at Gold Nugget in horror.
Gold Nugget grinned hideously at him.
Louis decisively stuck himself to the right side of the car, not daring to mess with this old dog that looked very fierce.
After Louis was brought into the interrogation room at HQ, Luke said, "Tell me the truth, and I'll send you to the detention center for illegally possessing a gun. Otherwise, you'll still be assaulting a police officer. Deal? "
"Deal!" Louis agreed without hesitation.
Luke nodded in satisfaction. "Tell me, where did you kidnap the girl?"
Louis quickly shook his head. "No, I didn't kidnap her. A man passed by me and said that he would give her to me, and she followed me home."
Luke and Selina looked at each other and asked, "So, you accepted it? Don't you find it strange that a stranger suddenly 'gave' a girl from a rich family to go home with you? "
Louis was stunned. He thought for a moment and shook his head blankly. "I … don't know. I did it as soon as the man spoke. Is there a problem?"
Luke and Selina looked at each other again.
Luke asked, "What does the man look like? What are its characteristics? "
Louis seemed to be reminiscing. "He was a little thin, and he was wearing a very expensive handmade suit. Other than that, there was nothing special about him."
Luke asked, "Can you tell what his accent is?"
Louis said, "By the way, he seems to have a British accent."
Luke and Selina looked at each other for the third time. It was indeed "him."
After that, Luke interrogated Louis repeatedly for an hour, and only let Louis go after confirming all the details of how "he" had "given the girl away."
When he put away the recorder, Luke suddenly thought of a question. "You never touched that girl?"
Louis mumbled, "Detective, actually … I'm gay. How could I touch her?"
Luke and Selina were lost for words. No wonder Molly's tests showed that she hadn't been violated recently.
Molly wasn't bad looking, and her temperament and clothes were above average. The reason why nothing had happened to such a girl when she had moved into a hooligan like Louis's house was more plausible.
At the very least, Luke didn't think it was because Louis was softhearted.
If it were a hooligan with a normal sexual orientation, not only would he have done something bad, he might even have called in a bunch of scoundrels to "share" the prey that had fallen from the sky.
From the looks of it, while Molly's experience had been tragic, she hadn't suffered the worst in the end.
After throwing Louis, the scapegoat, into the detention center at HQ, they returned to the office, and the phone on the desk rang.
Selina picked it up and hung up after a few hums. "Let's go. The boss summoned us."
Luke unwrapped three lollipops and asked Selina to bring two takeouts, before he walked into Dustin's office.
It was already afternoon, and there weren't many colleagues in the hall. They weren't afraid of anyone noticing that they were eating lollipops in their boss's office.
Dustin ignored the takeout boxes that Selina had casually put down next to the coffee machine in the corner of the office. He simply had Luke close the door before he said, "Be careful with Walter's case. My mission for you is to make sure that he's not silenced."
Luke raised an eyebrow. "Silencing a superintendent?"
Even though the door was closed, there wasn't anyone outside. Dustin subconsciously looked outside before he said in a low voice, "This case is like a muddy pit. Anyone who steps in will inevitably be covered in mud, and might even be buried alive."
Luke said, "I thought you wanted us to keep an eye on Walter's progress."
Dustin said mockingly, "Progress? Sort of. But it's not the progress of solving the case, but the progress of Walter's death. "
Luke sighed. "Kingpin?"
Dustin nodded. "You already know him. His top hitman, Bullseye, even fought you before. You know how scary that kind of person is. But what's more troublesome is that the crime happened in the 15th Precinct's territory. It's only a question of how many of Kingpin's spies there are in the 15th Precinct. You can disappear at any time while you're investigating a case. It's not like there's only been one or two cases where detectives have disappeared, but it's as if those detectives had vanished into thin air. Even if HQ knows that there's a problem, they can't keep investigating. "
Luke nodded to show that he understood.
The investigation of a police murder case and a missing police officer case were different.
If they created the impression that a certain police officer had fled to avoid punishment, it would be even harder to investigate further.
This wasn't a complicated operation. If tens of thousands of dollars were suddenly transferred to a police officer's or their relatives' accounts, the police officer would be suspected of receiving illegal money.
As for the police officers who had vanished into thin air, it was impossible for them to cooperate with the investigation and clear their names.
After a brief hesitation, Dustin said, "Brad called me last night and hinted that it's best if I don't interfere with this case."
Looking at Luke's thoughtful expression, he continued, "Also, he specifically mentioned you and told me not to put too much pressure on you. Do you understand?"
Luke smiled. "That's a good thing. After all, I'm new here …"
Dustin got up unhappily and picked up the takeout box from the coffee machine. When he opened it and saw the barbecue inside, he swallowed and ate a piece.
Neither Luke nor Selina said anything.
