Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

"What's his name?"

"I don't know his name."

"How do you contact him?"

"We usually meet in person, but it's been a long time since we last contacted."

"Listen, if you want a favorable plea deal, tell me something valuable.

No matter how terrifying the organization behind you is.

This is Los Angeles, they don't call the shots here."

Carlos Sodi thought for a moment and said, "Gonsede, Natasha was recently investigating this organization, and her death is likely related to them."

Luke wrote down 'Gonsede' and continued, "Why did you always stay by Natasha's side?

If it was to kill her, it wouldn't need to be so complicated."

Carlos Sodi shrugged, "I liked it."

"That reason won't convince me."

Luke leaned back in his chair feeling somewhat depressed, he really hated interrogating these gang members, who valued their gang rules more than the law, making the interrogation feel like scratching an itch through a boot.

"Knock knock..."

Just then, the door outside the office sounded.

Jenny pushed the door open and whispered to Luke, "Captain, the FBI is here, they want to take Carlos Sodi away."

Luke said to Jenny, "Repeat what you just said, louder."

Jenny understood what Luke meant and said to Carlos Sodi, "The FBI is here, they want to take you away."

Carlos Sodi's face changed slightly, he retorted, "Are you trying to scare me?"

"Whether I am scaring you, you should know very well.

I'll give you five minutes to think, I'll go hold them off.

In five minutes, if you still don't cooperate with the investigation, then I can't save you either," Luke said and left the interrogation room.

Standing in the corridor was a white woman in a suit, with short hair, wearing an FBI badge, "You must be Captain Lee, you're even more handsome than on TV."

Luke smiled, "I like your hairstyle, it's quite striking.

What should I call you?"

"FBI Agent Alfie Imma, mainly in charge of smuggling and trafficking cases."

"Agent Imma, I heard you want to take Carlos Sodi?"

"Yes, Natasha was my informant. She was a good person, it was our failture to protect her.

I won't let her die in vain; I will get to the bottom of this."

Luke said, "We are already investigating, and have caught several suspects, and the case has made significant progress.

Your sudden request to take one of the key suspects will hinder our police investigation."

Alfie Imma said, "Captain Lee, I have heard of your accomplishments and know you are capable, but this case is different, it's beyond the jurisdiction and capacity of the Los Angeles police."

"So the FBI plans to take over the case?"

"More precisely, it's a cooperative effort. The Los Angeles police have home field advantage, but the FBI has wider jurisdiction and more resources.

The suspects we're facing aren't just one or a few people, but one or even several tightly organized crime groups.

It's difficult for one or two departments to completely eradicate them alone."

Luke inquired, "Are you saying other departments will join in?"

"If necessary, we can also contact Immigration or the Border Patrol.

Since you've already started investigating the case, you must also know that Natasha's death is related to the smuggling organization.

Their operations extend well beyond Los Angeles, and as powerful as Los Angeles police are, they can't exactly run off to the border or Mexico to catch them.

What do you think?"

Luke understood that once he agreed, the case would be led by the FBI, and he didn't want to be subordinate.

But just as Alfie Imma said, relying solely on the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles police, investigating this case would be very strenuous, and multicentric cooperation would be more effective against the smuggling organization.

Backing up a bit, taking interrogation for example.

Whether it's Carlos Sodi or Kuka, they are both evasive, only discussing crimes involving themselves, stubbornly refusing to mention the organizations behind them.

Luke had only just taken over the case, and he knew too little at the moment, having never dealt with them before, it would be difficult to extract anything substantial from them quickly.

It's different with the FBI. From the tone of Alfie Imma, she has been in charge of investigating smuggling cases and must be familiar with the organization behind Carlos Sodi, possessing appropriate measures.

Moreover, the FBI has broader authority, and under special circumstances, some departments can use tough measures.

These days, there are many tough guys in words, but those who can stand tough measures are the real tough ones.

"Agent Imma, please wait a moment," Luke dropped the line and went back into the interrogation room, asking Carlos Sodi seated in the interrogation chair, "How are you considering it?"

Carlos Sodi looked at Luke, "I've already told you all I know."

"I need to know more than that. Which organization do you belong to?"

Carlos Sodi shook his head.

Luke continued asking, "Why were you undercover close to Natasha?"

Carlos Sodi still didn't respond.

"Carlos Sodi, I gave you a chance," Luke picked up the documents and walked out of the interrogation room, asking Alfie Imma, "Are you confident you can get him to talk?"

"Definitely," Alfie Imma spoke with conviction.

"How long?"

Alfie Imma glanced at her watch, "It's ten o'clock now, by ten tomorrow morning, you will see a complete interrogation record."
