"You're no longer of any value to the gang."

"Do you think they will help you get revenge?"

Petrov's expression changed repeatedly, "At least... I'm still alive."

"OK, it looks like you did indeed spill quite a few truths last night." Seeing the other party's attitude, Luke knew there was no need to ask further.

Sometimes, the threat of a gang is indeed more effective than the law.

"Why hasn't the ambulance arrived? Why?"

"The call has already been made, just stay put." Luke fobbed him off. You don't cooperate with the investigation, yet you expect to receive police attention.

Dream on.

Jack came over and said, "Captain, we found a black leather suitcase in the bedroom, containing clothes, cash, and passports."

David chuckled, "It looks like Mr. Petrov had prepared to seek refuge somewhere else, too bad he was one step too late.

Mr. Petrov, could we interview you about your current feelings?"

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Petrov's face showed grief and anger, "I will definitely kill him, definitely."

Jack sat down on the nearby couch, "Life is really strange. Last night the two of us were chasing you, and you ran so fast you even jumped from the overpass.

Very brave, something we couldn't do.

But now, think about it, if you hadn't jumped down at that time and had chosen to cooperate with the police, assisting with the investigation,

you might not have to go through all this."

"Stop talking, you damn blackie, I don't want to hear you talk anymore!"

"Why are you so irritable? I'm just trying to analyze for you. Don't be so delusional anymore, your gang brothers can't help you, the only ones who can help you now are the LAPD,

only us."

"I don't need your help. Better stay away from me, blackie." Petrov yelled loudly, visibly agitated, causing the cotton on his wounds to bleed once again.

Jack's 'well-intended' advice, in the end, was not understood.

The paramedics arrived on the scene, lifting Petrov onto the ambulance, and he was taken to the hospital under police escort.

Luke felt a bit gloomy; this was why he disliked dealing with gang members.

In their eyes, gang rules are above the law, and accomplices are more fearsome than cops.

...

Robbery and Murder Department Office.

David sat by his old desk, "Still feels the same, haha."

Jack asked, "Have you considered coming back? Right now the team is short a deputy chief."

"No, I'm doing well in the Anti-Gang and Drug Department. The two departments can share resources and look after one another." After speaking, David asked in return, "Are you still a detective, kid"

Jack rolled his eyes, "Not for long."

"That's not for you to decide." David let out another unforgiving chuckle.

"I take back what I just said. You're better off not coming back, you bastard."

David made a face, "You're the fickle annoying one."

"I'm not the annoying one, everyone likes me. I'm different from you."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, I'm way more popular than you are. Everybody likes Marcus because he's always smiling. But you are a violence freak."

David wasn't upset, and looked at Jackson, "Hey buddy, do you like that annoying guy?"

Jackson had a troubled look, "Deputy Chief David, may I refuse to answer that question?"

"Of course, your attitude says it all, haha." David laughed boisterously.

Jack gave an eye roll, "You should have said you like him. We should be united when facing outsiders."

Luke came over with a cup of Jasmine tea, helplessly saying, "Guys, let's talk about something serious.

This topic is better suited for a bar."

Luke sat at his own former desk, and spoke seriously, "Two days, two victims, one decapitated, another had his thumb cut off.

The forensics team didn't find any biological material from suspicious individuals at the scene.

Right now, we don't know the motive of the perpetrator, nor do we know if he will strike again.

And the victim, Petrov, is unwilling to provide clues about the suspect. Any thoughts?"

Jack was the first to speak up, "I think this case is very likely to be a gang conflict, which is evident from Petrov's attitude."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Jack straightened up and continued to analyze, "Petrov is a member of the Furry Bear Gang, which controls many of the area's activities. There is more than one gang involved in these activities in Los Angeles, and there might be conflicts of interest between them."

Luke thought Jack's words made some sense and turned to David beside him, "What do you think?"

"The Furry Bear Gang is involved in smuggling and other illegal dealings.

Generally, the conflicts between gangs have a long history, not something that has happened overnight, and there are often frictions.

The essence of conflict is still interest, and there will be some signs before an official showdown, like minor conflicts, threats, vandalism, and so on.

But we haven't received any news about gang clashes recently.

To start with murder straight away, and in such a brutal manner, is uncommon.

For gangs involved in these activities, the women are merely tools for making money, and they are not strictly considered part of the gang.

Members from other gangs rarely harm them; at most they will beat them up but almost never resort to such cruel methods to kill.

Their targets are still rival gangs, and if they can take down a rival gang, they can even recruit the women from the other side, making them work and earn money for themselves."
