On the morning of January 4th.

Larson's Pawn Shop.

A black Challenger stopped on the side of the road, and Luke and David got out of the police car.

David laughed and said, "You know what? I suddenly found the feeling I had when we were partners together, haha."

"Spare me, I don't want to wipe your ass anymore." Luke waved his hand.

"But you have to admit that you also learned a lot from me, right?"

Luke asked, "Kick the door?"

"Ha ha……"

Both laughed.

Luke glanced around, locked onto Larson's Pawn Shop, and said, "We're here."

"I bet this is definitely a den for collecting stolen goods." After David finished speaking, he walked to the pawn shop first.

The United States is the only country in the world that has pawn shops before it was founded, and they have always kept pace with banks.

After more than two hundred years of vicissitudes, the United States has become the country with the most developed pawn industry in the world.

Many pawn shops are engaged in shady business, such as collecting dirt.

Such people generally have gang backgrounds, and generally the police will not touch them.

Once you capture this stolen goods den, a new stolen goods den may appear the next day.

Therefore, as long as what they do is not too excessive, the police rarely take stern measures to rectify them.

An old white man sat inside the bulletproof glass counter of Larson's Pawn Shop. He watched Luke and David walk into the store and asked, "Good morning, gentlemen."

David showed the police badge on his waist and said, "lapd!"

The old man put on his glasses, looked at Luke and asked, "Two police officers, what do you want from our pawn shop?"

If you want to pawn something, I will definitely give you the most suitable price."

David took out a photo from his pocket and put it on the counter, "Have you seen this watch?"

The old white man picked up the photo, looked at it, shook his head, "No, I haven't seen it."

David twisted his neck and said in a stern tone, "Listen, I'm not here for a routine inquiry.

We got word that this watch is in your pawn shop.

If you lie, we will apply for a search warrant, and you should know the consequences..."

Most pawn shops are directly or indirectly engaged in gray business and cannot withstand raids at all.

The old white man picked up the photo and looked at it carefully, "Wait a minute, I'm not here every day, and someone else may have collected it. Let me check the pawn record."

David hummed, "Don't keep me waiting too long."

The old white man walked to the side of the counter, turned on the computer, and after some operations he said, "Yes, I found the record.

A few days ago, our pawn shop did acquire a watch. I was on vacation at the time and I was not responsible for it."

"when?"

"December 29th."

"Who is the pawn?"

"No record."

"Then think carefully and don't fool me with your nonsense about not being there, understand?" David's tone was unkind and he was already a little impatient.

The old white man thought for a while and replied, "I remember that the people who came to pawn were two black people, a man and a woman, both young.

The man is wearing jeans and a gray top with a hood.

The woman has an afro and a plump figure.

That's all I remember."

Luke glanced at the roof, "Do you have surveillance here?"

The old white man shook his head, "No.

However, the convenience store next to us has surveillance, you can go there and try it."

David waved his hand, "Bring that watch."

The old white man said, "I don't know why you investigated that watch, but that watch was acquired legally by us and we paid..."

"Shut your stinky mouth!

That watch is a relic of a police officer.

The police officer died and his belongings were found in the pawn shop.

I have enough reason to suspect that his death is related to your pawn shop." David waved his hand and said to the men on the side, "Take this old man back to the police station."

"Wait a minute, I'll give you the watch right now." The old white man immediately gave in and ran back to the store. After a while, he held a delicate box in his hand. After opening the box, inside was a Rolex with a dark green dial.

watch.

David took the watch and asked, "How much did this watch cost?"

"Five hundred dollars."

David cursed, "You bastard are so black!"

He was sure that the old white man knew it was stolen goods when he bought it. He said with some boredom, "Take this old slicker back to the police station."

The old white man was a little timid, "I've already given you my watch."

"If I let you go so easily, Jones will definitely be unhappy if he finds out." David ordered the men on the side, "Interrogate carefully. This guy may know the person who pawned the watch."

"Understood, I will take good care of him for Boss Jones."

…

Then, Luke went to a convenience store not far away to call up the surveillance on December 29. He saw a black man and woman matching the suspect's characteristics and took screenshots of their facial features.

Although there are clearer images, their identities still cannot be confirmed.

Luke had the image sent back to the police station for comparison with the facial database.

David asked, "What do we do now?"

Luke replied, "Facial recognition and comparison will take some time. Investigate other clues first."

??????55.??????

"Come on, by the time the facial recognition database comparison is successful, the suspect may have run away.

I have a better way."

"any solution?"

"Come with me." David waved and shouted to everyone, "Guys, get in the car.

Let’s go visit our friends from a nearby gang.”

After David got in the car, he turned right at the intersection ahead. After driving for a while, he turned into a narrower street.

There are many vehicles parked on both sides of the street, and many black people gather in groups to chat, smoke, and barbecue.

After several police cars drove into the neighborhood, they immediately attracted many black people to watch. David parked the car in front of a bar, then jumped out of the car, looked at the black people who had gathered, and said with a smile, "Good afternoon, asshole."

them.

Come over and stand in two rows, let me take a good look at you."

The rest of the police officers also got out of the car one after another. Everyone was wearing body armor and holding weapons in their hands, looking warily at the gang members around them.

The black people around showed dissatisfaction on their faces and yelled, "Fuck! You are the bastards, why did you come to our territory?"

"We are not cowards and we are not afraid of anyone."

"You damn bald head, shut your stinky mouth."

"This bastard looks so arrogant. Can anyone tell me who he is?"

The movement outside attracted more people.

A bald black man smoking a cigar walked out of the bar and looked at David and his group with a solemn expression on his face, "Isn't this David's deputy team?

Why is there suddenly such a big battle?

I hate when people come to my place to cause trouble, and so do my brothers.

Why not put away your weapons and go to the bar for a drink."

David joked, "You don't mix water with wine, do you?"

"You'll know after you come in and try it."

"If it doesn't taste good, I'll smash the bar." David smiled, gave some instructions to the police officers around him, and then entered the bar with Luke.
