Chapter 682: Investigation
"I'd say, Terry, it's fun for the Italians to investigate homicides in Hell's Kitchen. Batarina said to Liang Dong, "Everyone is smiling when they see me." โ
"Yes, yes, you finally understand how the rest of us feel when we're tired on Maubilly Street. Liang Dong raised the glass of wine in his hand and took a big sip, since he and Duffy were separated, he rushed to meet Baattari, it was really a bit of a hurry.
"Yes, but it's good to eat there, and there's nothing good to eat here in the west. Except for these salted eggs. Batarina couldn't help but complain.
Listening to Batari's words, Liang Dong couldn't help but lift the salted egg on the bar and said with a smile: "I have to admit that it tastes really good." โ
"As long as you can take a fancy to it, I'll forget it. Baattarina smiled and shook his head, he was a little unaccustomed to these things as an Italian.
After chatting, the smile on Liang Dong's face disappeared, and he asked in a deep voice, "How is it, is there any new news?"
"We've hit a wall!" said Baattari, a little helplessly, "We have two witnesses, the prostitute is on the street, and the bartender who is very tight-tongued is gone. There are no clues now, and the problem is that with your uncle's virtues, Terry, anyone can kill him. โ
"I know there's a lot of possibilities. Liang Dong sighed slightly, although he now knew who did it, but in terms of a single case, there was too little evidence that could be found.
"What I'm trying to say is, Terry, I can't do this. Baattari said apologetically, "I'm sorry! But I have two more cases in my hands this week, and I don't have the energy to continue investigating this case." I'm sorry. โ
"Wait, wait. Liang Dong stretched out his hand, frowned and asked, "What about the assassination of Long Branch, the two gangsters are Rasti's subordinates, it must not be a coincidence." โ
"Possibly. Batari shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "But no one in the city cares about the deaths of two Irish street thugs. And let's be honest, no one in the city cares who killed your uncle. You know what they think, the Irish don't make the headlines. โ
"So you're saying that you only care about the death of the Guineans, do you?" Hearing that there was something wrong with Batalina's words, Liang Dong couldn't help but stab.
"Please, please, don't sit down, okay, Irishman?" said Bataari, apologetically, pointing to his face and saying, "But people like me are going to make big news." โ
"I see, big star. The little anger in Liang Dong's heart had long since disappeared, and he said helplessly: "So now this pile of is only solved by myself." โ
"I'm afraid so, but listen," said Baattarina, taking a sip of the wine from her glass, as she stood up and said, "tell me if you make any new discoveries, and I'll come back to help you at once." But for now, I can only put it aside for a while, okay? Also, next time we meet, we'll have dinner in the city, and I'll have a treat!"
"Okay, I remember. Liang Dong smiled and watched as Batarina picked up his coat and hat and walked out of the bar, then drank the beer in his glass in one gulp and asked the bartender to serve him another glass. Now that Baattarina was gone, things were getting worse and worse, and he had to think about it.
Back in the office, before Liang Dong sat down, he heard Roland say, "Hey, Terry, you came back at the right time, your wife's phone." โ
"Okay, thank you, Roland. Liang Dong hung his coat and hat on the hanger, and asked by the way, "Did she say something was wrong?"
Roland shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know, Liang Dong was a little surprised, picked up the phone directly, and asked, "Hey, Chris, what's wrong?"
"It's James again!" Christine said on the other end of the phone, full of worry, "He should have been home two hours ago, and I just got a call from Mrs. Lรณpez that she saw James and Gilroy's kid drinking in the school playground." Can you believe it?"
"Okay, then why don't you just go and get him home yourself?" Liang Dong was a little puzzled why Christine also called about this.
"I've been there and they're gone. Christine's tone couldn't help but rise.
"God, you little fool. Hearing Christine say this, Liang Dong couldn't help but get a little angry, took a deep breath, and said to the phone: "Okay, you call Kilroy's house and ask them if they know? I'll go back and deal with it as soon as possible, okay?"
"As soon as possible!" Christine hung up, went to the house to get a phone book, and called Kilroy's house directly.
Just when Mulden's family was a little anxious about the disappearance of their eldest son, James, Rasti and Red, had already rushed to the Long Branch Tavern to check on what had happened yesterday. Rasti pointed to the place where he fought last night and asked, "Is this here?"
"That's right. Burke was a little nervous, gasping for breath and said, "He and Rogers were leaning against the bar, and then Kane stabbed Rogers in the shoulder, then stabbed him in the stomach, and that's it." โ
"It's just Kane, and no one else?" Rasti was a little incredulous about all this, Aureli and Rogers were both people with some skills, Burke was very big in size and stature, and he was so easily killed by Kane that two people, he looked at Burke with some suspicion and asked, "Is he dealing with the three of you alone, and what were you doing when all this happened?"
"I didn't do anything. Burke pointed to the bar and said, "I was behind the bar, and I couldn't reach for it." โ
Hearing this, Rasti's face instantly sank, and he asked sharply, "Then why don't you do something?"
"It happened so fast. Speaking of this, Burke still has lingering palpitations, and said, "Rasti, I have nothing to react to. โ
"That doesn't sound like that!" Rasti, with a gloomy face, walked up to Burke, pointed to the place where the men were fighting, and said, "It sounds like they've been fighting here for a while, and you've done nothing." โ
"No, no, no, it's not like that. Burke quickly waved his hand, pointed to the bar and said, "Like I said, Rasti, I was reading the newspaper behind the bar, and in the next second, O'Reilly had already cut his throat and was bleeding all over the ground. Rogers leaned his back against the bar and was poked in the shoulder......"
Listening to Burke say all this nonsense, Rasti couldn't hold back any longer, reached out and grabbed Burke's neckline, and said angrily: "You can't do anything, Burke, can't you do anything, isn't there a gun behind the bar, haven't you even forgotten what makes the gun, have you?
"Rasti, Rasti, he's innocent. Red Parton was startled when he saw Rasti take out his gun from behind the bar and press it tightly against Burke's chin, and hurriedly came over to persuade him, "Don't do that, Rasti. You madman, let him go. โ
"Let's go!" Red Parton struggled to pull Rasti away, then dragged him out of the bar.
Poor Burke, who was only now relieved, almost collapsed to the ground, and could not have imagined that Rasti would point a gun at him. God, he's the job of their house!
