Chapter 283(1/3)
Luke asked, "Mr. Arthur, after the police discovered the body of Novena Jones on September 15, they immediately started investigating the case.
Why didn't you cooperate with the police instead of lynching?"
Michael Arthur looked at Xiao Hei and said, "I gave you a chance. The first time was in Novena Jones's apartment. You let Petrov run away and ran away right under your nose.
For a police officer, you did the right thing, and you may have even done a good job.
But for me, it's far from enough.
When I found Petrov, he was already packing his things and preparing to run away, which also increased my suspicion of him.
I must stop him and use my own methods." Michael Arthur pointed to his chest and continued,
"After I took control of Petrov, he was very unconvinced and thought I was sneaking up on him.
Moreover, he was not afraid at the time, he looked like a tough guy from the Bear Country, and said that I had no idea what kind of existence I had provoked.
If I dare to lay a finger on him, the entire Bear Gang will cut me into pieces.
I have been to the country of the furry bears. Some people are very interesting, but some people are really jerks. Petrov is one of the latter, and it reminds me of some not-so-good memories.
Therefore, I also used some unfriendly interrogation methods, but unfortunately he was not the murderer."
Xiao Hei hummed, "You are happy, but you also caused a lot of trouble for the police and delayed the police investigation."
Michael Arthur spread his hands, "People always like to consider problems from their own perspective.
Why don't we change the angle.
If I had not taken action at that time, Petrov might have run away.
Can you still find him in Las Vegas, San Francisco, New York, and even furry bear country? Can you still get information from his mouth?
Before you accuse me, I hope you can think about why I didn't kill Petrov. I already got the information I wanted. If I killed him, you would never be able to find me.
But I stayed alive just to facilitate the police investigation.
I thought you could pry his mouth open, but you didn't, so you can't blame me."
Xiao Hei laughed angrily, "You mean you are assisting the police in their investigation?"
"This is true."
Xiao Hei thought for a while and found that he really couldn't refute this, "We have tried our best, but we are police and we have a bottom line.
We can only investigate the case in accordance with the laws of California and cannot use unscrupulous methods to force Petrov.
And he belongs to a gang and is not afraid of the law at all. Only when we beat the Mao Xiong Gang to pain will he be able to cooperate with us, which takes time.
If we treat Petrov like you, the whole of Los Angeles will be in chaos, and our bottom line is the security of Los Angeles."
Michael Arthur said, "You are right, so I don't blame you, but I can see your limitations clearly."
"So, at this time you decided to go it alone and find the murderer of Novena Jones in your own way."
Michael Arthur shook his head, "I also know that what I did was wrong. I hesitated for a long time and gave you a second chance.
When you went to Eddie Ross' house to investigate, I had already found Eddie Ross, but I was not in a hurry because I wanted to see if the police could find him.
Overall, your investigation skills are pretty good.
Before long, your people also arrived, a Mexican police officer and a female police officer.
But... they just stood at the door and asked, and then left.
The bastard returned to the house and prepared to find some connections to get away with it.
I don't know if his relationship would work, but even if he just got a lawyer, it would delay the police investigation.
too slow.
I don't like this approach.
I decided to interrogate him personally, and he quickly responded, even telling me the safe and bank passwords."
Xiao Hei asked curiously, "When did you cut off his brother? Was it during the interrogation or after the interrogation?"
"Is this question relevant to the investigation?"
"Uh... you don't have to answer."
"After the interrogation.
This is not just revenge for Novena Jones.
I also don’t want him to hurt more girls.
I know this kind of people very well, and I will never stop unless I give them a lesson they will never forget."
"Wow..." Xiao Hei opened his mouth wide. For some reason, he suddenly liked this guy at this moment.
"Aren't you worried about being caught by the police?"
Michael Arthur smiled, "Do you think you can catch me?"
Xiao Hei was a little embarrassed. If Luke hadn't been there that day, Michael Arthur would have been very likely to escape.
Of course, this is not because there is a problem with Xiao Hei's ability. If he were replaced by another ordinary police officer, he might not be able to do better than him.
Xiao Hei changed the subject, "Who are you?"
"Ordinary people."
Xiao Hei rolled his eyes and said, "Don't talk to me with such old-fashioned nonsense. What did you do before?"
"I have done a lot of work. It should be all in my information. You should have checked it."
"Ignore those bullshit information, I want to hear the truth."
"It doesn't matter what I say. The reality is based on the data. What do you think?"
Xiao Hei shrugged, "I understand what you mean, I don't want your testimony, but I am personally curious.
If you are really an ordinary person, then I have to consider whether you are suitable for this job."
Michael Arthur said sternly, "You are not bad. You are better than most police officers I have seen."
Xiao Hei smiled, "Are you praising me?"
"Of course."
"Do you have any additional clues to add to the case of Novena Jones?" Luke interrupted the conversation between the two.
When people meet someone who is stronger than themselves, they will have a sense of competition.
When you meet someone who is much better than you, you will feel admiration or admiration. Luke doesn't want Xiao Hei to become the other person's fanboy.
"No." Michael Arthur sighed and looked at Luke, "You are very powerful. I should have told you the clues earlier."
Xiao Hei straightened his chest and asked Yourong, "Do you regret what you did?"
"I can't even talk about regrets, even if you give me another chance.
I may still choose to destroy these three bastards. This is the only thing I can do for Novena Jones.
Thinking of the harm they did to Novena Jones...
I feel everything is worth it and I have a clear conscience.”
Xiao Hei sighed, "Those three are indeed scum. You feel happy doing this, but you have to face legal sanctions and may have to spend the rest of your life in prison."
"Everyone must be responsible for what they have done, as long as they are worthy of it." Michael Arthur pointed to his chest and said calmly,
"I've explained everything clearly. You can go investigate the case and don't waste your time on me.
Captain Li, if you can catch me, I also hope you can catch the real murderer!"
Luke stood up and said, "I'll try my best."
Xiao Hei waved his hand, "Wait, I have one last question."
"you say."
"Can you use a gun?"
Michael Arthur smiled, "I hope you never know the answer."
…
Back in the No. 1 Squadron office, Luke called everyone for a meeting.
The deputy asked, "How was the interrogation? Is it going well?"
Luke replied, "McKale Arthur only admitted to hurting the African-American victim Saeed McCann, but did not admit to hurting Petrov and Eddie Ross.
Although he refused to plead guilty, he made hypothetical statements and recounted the crime."
"What deal does he want?"
"He wants prosecutors to clear him of all charges."
The deputy leader shook his head, "What a greedy guy."
Jackson asked, "Are his hypothetical statements credible?"
