In a black Ford Explorer.
Xiao Hei released the handbrake, "Where are we heading?"
Luke pondered, "Albo Biological Company's blood collection station.
I feel like this matter isn't so simple; we need to thoroughly investigate this clue."
As Xiao Hei started the car, he reflected, "You know? Regarding Jarvis, I initially considered many possibilities, thinking Jarvis might be the murderer who killed Angela.
I thought he might be another victim, but I never imagined he'd be selling his blood.
This feeling really upsets me."
Luke said, "In the United States, there are many people who earn a living selling blood; what we can do is very limited."
"You're right, but seeing Jarvis's condition, it made me feel awful and somewhat choked up.
A middle-aged man living in such straits, the most tragic part isn't his unemployment, but the fact that he doesn't even have the courage to tell his family afterwards.
One can imagine the heavy burden he must carry, a burden that could crush a person.
Perhaps finding a new job could solve the issue, but if he couldn't find one, I really don't want to think about it…"
Xiao Hei sighed and continued, "You know? This is why I don't want to get married. Once you marry, it means having a family and responsibilities. The pressure is too much.
I… don't think I can handle it.
I'm not capable.
That's also why Julian and I broke up.
Do you think I'm useless, trash?"
"No, you are actually being responsible towards marriage and your partner," Luke recalled the past, "Those who get married today and divorce tomorrow, those who bear children without supporting them, they are the real trash."
Xiao Hei extended his right hand, making a fist bump gesture, "You're right, that's what I think too."
Luke swatted his hand away, "Just focus on driving."
Xiao Hei asked back, "Are you sure you want to go to the Albo Biological Company blood collection station?"
"Is there a problem?"
"Do you remember? I know a guy nicknamed 'Blood Man'. If you want, we can ask him for some information."
Luke thought for a moment. During the Taser gun robbery, the plasma for the forged crime scene was bought from this 'Blood Man,' "Garcia Roger?"
"Exactly, this guy also runs a blood station, and he has extensive connections in this industry; he might even know the person in charge at the Albo Biological Company blood collection station."
Luke asked back, "If we already have concrete clues and know there are issues with the people at Albo Biological Company blood collection station, why go through Garcia? What's the advantage?"
Xiao Hei considered, "It depends on how you see it.
Garcia and I have a good relationship. I think he can act as a lubricant for us with the Albo Biological Company blood collection station. It's more appropriate than just showing up at their door.
The blood collection station won't be too embarrassed, and we can still get what we want."
"And Garcia? What does he get out of it?"
Xiao Hei laughed, "He gets our trust. As for what he can get from the Albo Biological Company blood collection station, that's up to his own skills.
Plus, as long as it's related to illegal blood collection, whether we have clues or not, we can always reach out to him. He's a master at gathering information."
Luke reflected. Xiao Hei was very adept at cultivating informants; this clearly meant giving benefits to Garcia.
The police had already acquired concrete clues that there might be illegal transactions at the Albo Biological Company blood collection station. If Luke conducted an investigation there, the company would surely be thrown into chaos, and everyone there could face trouble.
But here's the thing, Luke only wanted to know who bought the plasma and whether it was related to the murder. Throwing the Albo Biological Company blood collection station into chaos would bring him no benefit, so why bother?
It would harm others without benefiting oneself.
This is a notable difference between the Huaguo police and the United States police.
In Huaguo, each department and system is like tree roots; follow them up, and they all lead to the trunk, reaching the heavens.
As a policeman, if you find any illegal activity, you can report it everywhere, and you might receive rewards and promotions.
It's not just authority, but also a duty.
But it's different in the United States. Systems are independent, each minding their own business.
To give a simple example,
In Huaguo,
if a policeman from another region goes to the capital for a vacation and sees someone committing a crime in the street,
even though he has no jurisdiction in the capital, will he intervene?
Definitely.
Moreover, if he catches the criminal, when he returns home, he would still receive rewards and promotions, perhaps even more than for catching a suspect in his own hometown.
The reason is simple: all departments and regional police are governed by the Ministry of Public Security.
They're all part of the same system, one family.
If my subordinate shows his face in the capital, that's a great honor, and I'll definitely reward him well.
But it's different in the United States.
If Luke, as LAPD, goes on a vacation to New York and witnesses a crime, will he get involved?
It depends on his mood.
If he feels pity for the victim, he might help out of compassion.
Otherwise, he might not even take a second glance. He's there to vacation; why should he let a murder case in another city affect his mood?
He is LAPD, paid by the taxes of Los Angeles citizens, responsible only to the people of Los Angeles.
He's not NYPD.
Why would Los Angeles reward you for saving New Yorkers?
It might sound cruel, but it's the truth.
Similarly, Luke is just investigating a murder case. Whether the Albo Biological Company blood collection station has a gray profit chain, what does it matter to him?
