After a brief silence, the officer nodded. "I'm sorry, Officer Cobb. This is just official business. Sorry to disturb you. "With that, the two officers got into their cars and left.
Watching the patrol car disappear around the corner, Luke said casually, "The people from the 15th Precinct are quite unique. They left just like that."
Walter turned his head and glanced at Luke, only to see a very normal expression of surprise on his face.
He snorted. "In NPD, the people from the 15th Precinct aren't trustworthy at all. They're a gang, the kind with badges. "
Hearing that, Luke smiled at Walter. "Thank you for the reminder, sir."
Walter waved his hand and got into his car. "Let's go. We still have two more crime scenes to investigate."
Luke and Selina followed him in the car.
Looking at Walter's car, Selina couldn't help but say, "Walter is really bold. We're on Dustin's side."
Luke said, "But neither Dustin nor Walter wants to kill the other. They even do their best to protect the other. People from the 15th Precinct, hehe. "
Thinking about the information she had gathered over the past few days, Selina didn't have much to say.
As Walter had said, the 15th Precinct was just a bunch of gangsters with badges.
But for various reasons, this deformed freak was protected by a lot of people on both sides.
Even NPD HQ couldn't completely wipe it out now, and could only let it continue to exist.
Less than five minutes after they arrived at the third location, Luke, who was guarding the entrance, saw another police car drive by slowly.
But this time, the patrol officer didn't get out.
But Luke noticed that the officer in the passenger seat had taken out his phone.
He quickly took out his fake phone and fiddled with it.
Not far away from the patrol car, the radio device in his car was immediately activated and aimed at the officer who was on the phone.
"Blake, they're at the third explosion site," said the officer in the passenger seat. "Huh? Okay, we'll keep an eye on their every move. We'll let you know if anything happens … "
Luke smiled inwardly, and Selina, who had leaned over to listen, also had an "as expected" expression on her face.
Turning around to look at Walter and Ricky in the dilapidated factory, he sighed. "I really believe now that Dustin asked me to follow them purely to keep them alive, not to help them investigate the case."
Selena was speechless.
The people from the 15th Precinct were indeed strange to monitor their colleagues as if they were criminals.
As a result, when the four of them arrived at the fourth location, another police car appeared nearby.
However, this police car didn't have any paint on it. It was just a Ford sedan that detectives usually used.
Although the two detectives in the car were more cautious and had stopped to observe from a distance, they didn't escape the surveillance cameras in Luke's car.
At the third location, Luke pulled up the list of officers from the 15th Precinct in the database and found the files of the patrol officers who had tipped him off. He also checked the list of officers with "Blake" in their names.
Then, Detective Blake Tadio was found, along with his partner, Detective Carl Hoffman.
Blake was a 28-year-old Latino, and his partner, Hoffman, was a 37-year-old African American.
The reason why Luke was investigating them was because their actions and attitude were very suspicious. It was very likely that they were the vanguards of Kingpin's forces in the police department.
There were no good officers in the 15th Precinct. This was the tacit understanding of the officers in the NPD.
In fact, among the hundred or so officers in the 15th Precinct, there should be a few who weren't bad.
As for the so-called bad officers, most of them were mediocre people who went with the flow to make a living.
These people weren't even professional enough to be bad officers. They were definitely the legendary idiots who couldn't even get a bite of hot sh * t.
These small fries who could only run errands weren't of much use to Luke. He needed to target the more "capable" bad officers, so that he would have a better chance of finding clues about Kingpin's forces.
Detective Blake and Detective Hoffman, who had secretly come to monitor their colleagues at HQ, were clearly such "capable" people. Naturally, they were also the "bigger" fish in the 15th Precinct.
Luke decisively wrote down their names in his little black notebook.
After checking out the fourth location, Luke followed Walter back to HQ.
In the underground parking lot, Luke stopped Walter and Ricky, who were about to go up, and told them that he had discovered Blake and Hoffman spying on them.
Walter and Ricky weren't surprised at all. They simply nodded and said that they got it, then returned to the office.
Luke and Selina didn't follow them.
After sending Walter back to the police department, their mission was complete. It was better to give themselves some free time and have a late lunch.
While they were enjoying lunch by the river under the Brooklyn Bridge with Gold Nugget, Luke's phone rang.
He picked it up, and Christina's hurried and deliberately lowered voice came from the other end. "The private detective named Jessica is here again. I don't know what she said to Molly's family, but Molly's parents are about to take Molly out of the hospital and go home. I think you should know about this. "
Luke said, "Thank you, Christine. I'll be right there."
Fifteen minutes later, when Luke and Selina arrived at the ward, Christine was talking to the private detective named Jessica. "I'm not stopping Molly from leaving, but they can wait until those two detectives arrive and let them know."
"It's useless even if they come. They don't know what kind of danger they're facing," Jessica said impatiently. "They can't protect themselves, much less Molly. Trust me, it's best for Molly's family to leave New York. You'd better pretend you've never seen this family, so that you won't be dragged into this. "
Luke quickened his pace. "Miss Jones, we meet again."
Jessica's expression didn't look too good when she saw them. "Detective, Molly isn't a criminal. She has the right to go home."
Luke raised his hand to signal for Christine not to refute Jessica, before he said, "You're right. We're not detaining her. In fact, I'm here because of you. "
Jessica and Christina were both stunned. "What?"
Luke said, "Molly's matter is over. It's naturally up to her parents to decide where she can recuperate. We won't force her to stay in New York just because it's convenient for us to work on this case. But … "
He paused for a moment before he continued, "Miss Jones, you've been in New York the whole time and have long been involved in this case. In order to figure out the truth and find the criminal, you should be able to cooperate with us. After all, you seem to know something about Kilgrave. "
