Chapter 10

Marcus, the little black horse, felt a bit depressed. He didn't want to provoke a conflict between the two bosses, but there were some lines he had to hold.

He was clear about his position and value in the team.

If he lost the information channels within the gang, it would be very difficult for him to stand his ground in the "Robbery and Murder Division."

Little Black said, "Bosses, I can't reveal the real identity of 'Postman,' but I can assure you that he is at most involved in the illegal sale of modified guns, and has no direct connection to the robbery cases.

Even if he doesn't sell them, others will. There's no end to catching such people. Besides, we might need him in the future."

Susan remained silent for a moment and then said, "We'll discuss this later. Continue with the report."

"Sure." Little Black breathed a sigh of relief. He instinctively feared Susan. "According to Postman, he placed the modified Taser guns in three gun shops.

Besides Joe's Gun Shop, there are also Cadia Gun Shop and Kukamon Gun Shop."

Susan instructed, "Raymond, Jenny, go to Cadia Gun Shop for the investigation.

David, Luke, go to Kukamon Gun Shop and quickly identify the suspects who bought the guns."

"Yes, Captain."

"Meeting adjourned. Marcus, come to my office." Susan got up and left.

Marcus shrugged, "Deputy, you'll back me up, right?"

Vincent stood up and patted Marcus on the shoulder, "Good luck."

David punched his chest and pointed at Marcus.

Little Black scratched his curly hair in frustration,

"Fuck!"

...

In a black Dodge Challenger, Luke was driving, and David was in the passenger seat.

David laughed, "Hehe, poor Little Black, he's going to be the scapegoat this time."

Luke said, "Don't gloat. Your hands aren't clean either."

"You too. If it weren't for your luck in catching a robber, you might have been kicked out of the Robbery and Murder Division." After a moment of silence, David continued,

"If we let her continue, I bet the team will end up with only Raymond and Matthew left."

Raymond, needless to say, is a model officer in the LAPD.

Matthew is a clerical officer.

Luke smiled, "If you don't want to be kicked out, change the way you investigate."

"Easier said than done. How do I change?"

Luke pointed to his temple, "Use your head more. Watch what I do."

"Hehe, you're getting weirder. You used to prefer action over thinking. The attack must have affected you a lot."

Luke didn't respond. If the original owner hadn't been attacked, he wouldn't be here.

Ten minutes later.

The car stopped near Kukamon Gun Shop, and Luke got out alone.

A male clerk standing by the counter, polishing a gun, asked, "Sir, what kind of gun are you looking for?"

Luke observed the gun shop. It wasn't very large, but it had a wide variety of guns. Besides the male clerk, there was an older man at the other counter.

"I want a Taser."

"Have you looked into Tasers before? What model are you interested in?"

"Not much. I want a powerful one."

"Budget?"

"As long as the gun is suitable, money is not an issue."

"I recommend the X26-C Taser. It can deliver a 50,000-volt shock, enough to instantly knock down an adult male within 15 meters.

After being hit, the target will be incapacitated for 10 to 30 seconds, giving you enough time to handle the situation." The clerk turned around and picked up a yellow Taser,

"You can try it out."

Luke picked up the Taser, made a shooting gesture, and then put it back on the counter, "The feel is okay, but it doesn't meet my requirements."

"What doesn't meet your requirements?"

"It's not powerful enough."

"Sir, this gun is more than enough for ordinary people."

"My family runs a farm, and wild animals often cause damage. This thing might work on groundhogs, but it won't knock down a wild boar."

"Since you're dealing with wild boars, I recommend a semi-automatic rifle. It has more bullets and more power, making it better for dealing with wild animals."

"I'm here to buy a gun, not to be taught how to do things." Luke put down the Taser and made a move to leave.

"Sir, please wait. I have a more powerful Taser that should meet your needs." The older man stepped forward to retain him.

"Are you the owner?"

"Yes. We have a Taser that can deliver a 100,000-volt shock. It can knock down a wild boar, even a black bear."

Luke nodded, "That's exactly what I need."

The owner gave the clerk a nod, signaling him to get the gun.

A moment later, the clerk came in with a box. The box's packaging was the same as the X26-C Taser.

The owner opened the box and took out a black Taser, "This is a modified Taser, much more powerful and dangerous than a regular one. Use it with caution."

Luke picked up the Taser and examined it, "Has this gun been modified in any other way?"

"Regular Tasers eject a serial-numbered paper tag after firing. This Taser's magazine has been modified to not eject the paper, making it less troublesome." The owner had a knowing look.

He didn't care what Luke would use the gun for, as long as he paid.

Luke smiled, "This is exactly what I'm looking for. How much?"

"Four thousand dollars."

Luke glanced at the owner, "Do you think I'm a fool? A regular Taser costs only a thousand dollars. I'll give you two thousand dollars at most."

"Sir, this is a rare item. If you think it's too expensive, you can buy a regular Taser for a thousand dollars."

Luke played with the Taser, looking like he couldn't put it down, "Three thousand dollars, I'll take it."

The owner hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "OK, the Taser is yours. Consider it a favor. Please take care of our business in the future."

"Do you have any more of these? I'll take them all."

"There's only this one left."

"Afraid I can't pay?"

"No, this Taser was modified by an expert, and it's hard to get. My shop only has two, and one was sold in January. This is the last one."

Luke changed the subject, "Selling modified Tasers is illegal, isn't it?"

The owner's face changed, and he reached out to take back the modified Taser, "If you want to buy a gun, you're always welcome. If you're here to cause trouble, the big guys in my shop aren't just for show."

Luke took a step back and pulled out his badge, "LAPD, I suspect you are involved in two robbery and assault cases. Please come to the station to assist with the investigation."

The owner shrugged, "Oh my God, I'm just a gun seller, doing legitimate business. What the buyers do with the guns is none of my business. You can't scare me."

Luke waved the modified Taser, "If this is legitimate business, then I have to do my job."

Luke took out his radio, "David, bring the arrest warrant and come in. We can make the arrest."

A moment later, a tough bald man walked into the shop, revealing the handcuffs on his belt.

The owner panicked, "No, no, no, sir, I was wrong.

Give me a chance, and I'll assist the police investigation."
