Chapter 647 Who is she?
Near Dolson's Bar.
Luke, Jackson, and Xiao Hei walked out of the parking lot.
Luke glanced around, "That's Dolson's Bar. Where is the entrance?"
Jackson touched his chin and looked around, "Let me have a look."
Xiao Hei said, "Haven't you been here before? Why can't you find the entrance?"
Jackson replied, "I came at night, which is completely different from daytime, and it was a long time ago."
Jackson recalled for a moment, "Come with me, I know where the entrance is."
Under the leadership of Jackson, the three of them crossed the road and turned into an alley. There was an underground entrance on the east side of the alley.
Xiao Hei asked, "Why don't you take the main entrance?"
Jackson pointed to the underground entrance with both hands, "This is the main entrance."
"Haha, it seems my expectations are too high." Xiao Hei snorted.
"It doesn't matter what's outside, you'll know how great it is when you get inside." Jackson walked into the bar first.
The three of them entered the bar passage, which gradually became spacious. At the end was a dark gray leather door. Standing at the door was a bald man with tattoos.
"Sorry, you three, it's not business hours now?"
Xiao Hei asked, "Can't you drink in bars during the day?"
The bald man stared at Xiao Hei, "I don't know about other bars, but not here. The opening hours are at night."
"I don't like this rule." Xiao Hei showed his police badge, "lapd, I want to see your boss."
The bald man shook his head slightly, "I don't like the police either."
Xiao Hei showed his middle finger and said, "I just like to see it. If you don't like it, you act like I can't do anything about it. Stop talking nonsense and lead the way."
The bald man didn't give any face, "Wait here, I'll report to the boss."
Jackson was also a little dissatisfied, "Are you sure you want three policemen waiting at the door and want everyone around to know that this bar is being targeted by the police?"
The bald man looked at Luke and the three of them and said, "Come with me."
After entering the bar door, the inside is like a gloomy cave with a high ceiling and a large black screen directly opposite. Perhaps because of the dim lighting, it seems a bit depressing.
"You guys wait here, I'll go ask the boss." After finishing speaking, the bald man walked towards the bar.
Xiao Hei curled his lips, "Those who don't know better would think that this bar is owned by the mayor, who is more arrogant than the police chief."
Luke pulled up a chair and sat down. It was normal for a bar of this size to have some background.
Luke is here to investigate the case, not to cause trouble. As long as the other party is willing to assist in the investigation, it is better to cause more trouble than less trouble.
After a while, the strong man walked into the bar lobby accompanied by a white man in his thirties. The man yawned and looked tired. He sat on the chair opposite Luke and the three of them and said familiarly, "Sorry.
,I'm not used to getting up so early.
Officers, what are you doing at my bar?"
Luke asked, "What's your name, sir?"
"My friends all call me Pastor, you can call me that too.
OK, tell me why you came."
"Mr. Pastor, we are here to help you."
"Listen to my security guard, your attitude just now doesn't sound like you're here to ask for help."
"Sorry, we didn't mean to do that.
But if you have to do it, your security will not let you go, and we won’t be able to see you."
Pastor turned to look at the bald man, "Did you hear that? This police officer is complimenting you. This month's bonus will be doubled."
"thank you boss."
"Go ahead, I want to talk to the three police officers alone."
After the bald man left, Pastor touched his chin and asked, "What do you call this police officer?"
"I am Mr. Lee."
"Officer Li, how can I help you?"
"We are investigating a criminal case. Two of the people involved have been to your bar. We want to check the surveillance that night to confirm their whereabouts."
"Check the surveillance..." Pastor muttered and asked, "Do you have a search warrant?"
"Not yet."
"Officer Li, I also want to assist you in handling the case, but as the person in charge of this bar, I have to protect the privacy of the guests.
So, sorry, I can't do that.
Hope you can understand."
"Of course, I completely understand." Luke stood up and prepared to leave.
Xiao Hei said, "Captain, if we leave like this, what will happen to the case?"
Luke said, "Go back and apply for a search warrant. Once the search warrant is obtained, we will investigate the case according to the procedures."
Xiao Hei smiled and showed a "I understand" expression, "Can you apply today?"
"I don't know when the application will be approved and when I will come back."
"Damn it, I guess I have to work overtime again tonight." Xiao Hei complained, and then said to Pastor, "Man, we'll see you tonight, don't forget to clear the place then."
"Wait a minute, I'm just checking the surveillance, there's no need to clear the place," Pastor asked.
"Don't be stupid. It's not easy to apply for a search warrant. We only have this chance. We must search all the places where the suspect has been to avoid missing valuable clues." After Xiao Hei finished speaking, he looked at Luke again, "
Captain, I suggest you bring more people when the time comes, and it would be best to transfer all the patrol police around."
Luke said seriously, "I will consider it."
Pastor stood up and said, "Hey, I don't like being threatened!"
Jackson spread his hands and said, "You are overthinking this. No one is threatening you. We are just following the procedures and rules of the police force."
Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Yes, you have your rules, and we also have ours."
"Officer Li, wait a minute." Pastor softened his tone and invited Luke and the three of them to sit down again. "I want to know which department you are from? What specific case are you investigating?"
Xiao Hei replied, "In the Robbery and Murder Department, we are investigating a murder case.
What are you worried about? Is there something illegal happening here too?"
"No, absolutely not.
I have never been involved in anything illegal, but as you should know, the bar’s customers come from a variety of sources, so I’m a little worried.”
Luke advised, "I'm well aware of the tricks in the bar, and we're not interested in them.
The Robbery and Murder Division is only responsible for investigating major criminal cases."
Pastor hesitated for a moment before making up his mind, "OK, I can take you to the surveillance room, but the surveillance video cannot be taken away."
"No problem." Luke agreed happily. As long as real clues are found, the search warrant is just a matter of procedure.
Pastor took Luke and the three of them into the corridor behind the bar. There was a room at the end of the corridor with a sign saying 'Control Room'.
Pastor opened the door of the monitoring room. The lights inside were dark and a little dim. He turned on the wall lamp.
The monitoring room is not large, only about ten square meters. A black security guard is lying on a chair to rest. Perhaps his eyes were suddenly pierced by the light. He rubbed his eyes and stood up, "Fuck, what bastard..."
Halfway through his words, he was startled when he saw Pastor standing at the door, and swallowed back the rest of the sentence.
"Boss...why are you here?"
"I came here to ask if you need a pillow and a quilt?"
"Sorry boss, I shouldn't sleep here." The black security guard quickly stood up and straightened his clothes.
"Open video surveillance playback."
"Okay boss."
The black security guard opened the computer and found the surveillance video, "Boss, the surveillance videos are all here."
"You can go out."
"Okay boss."
After watching the black security guard leave, Pastor asked, "Officer Li, what else do you need?"
"No need, thank you."
Pastor nodded, "OK, I'll go out first. I'm at the bar. If you want a drink, you can come over at any time."
Jackson said, "Thank you, we don't drink during working hours."
