Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

"Haven't I come?"

Ramon Borego raised his injured left hand, "The police hit my wrist, and now I'm useless.

They might even kill me outright.

Is this how you FBI protect people?"

"No, they won't, they need you alive to get to the truth of the explosion case."

"I don't care, I did as you told me, and I need to get out of here, otherwise, it's not just the police, both the Bossita Gang and the Gonsede Gang will not let me go."

"Hey, I always deliver on my promises.

A new identity, a new environment, plus a settling-in allowance, you're no longer Ramon Borego, nobody will find you."

"Then get me out of here now."

"Not now, if I take you away right this moment, it will raise the police's suspicions."

"Then when can we go?"

"Don't rush, I'll ask the police to release you.

For now, stay in the hospital, the Los Angeles police can't do anything to you." Alfie Imma said this but showed a look of dissatisfaction, "But before we leave, you can't give anything away, otherwise, all our plans will be ruined."

"I know, I've always been following your instructions."

"Then why does Captain Lee suspect you're lying? Why does he doubt that the Bossita Gang isn't the mastermind behind all this? Think carefully about where you might have slipped up."

"I don't know, I've been very careful and have followed all your orders, but...

I also don't know why he suspects me."

"Hey, you need to stay sharp and can't afford another mistake.

If the police catch on to anything, or if word gets out, neither the Bossita Gang nor the Gonsede Gang will spare you."

"I know, you don't have to remind me.

It's you who needs to get a move on, you always bragged about how great the FBI is.

Now go deal with the Los Angeles police."

"How to do it is not for you to teach me, just take care of yourself." Alfie Imma dropped the line and pretended to leave.

"Will I be in danger?"

"I'll leave someone to protect you." Alfie Imma left the ward, grumbling under his breath, "Idiot, now I have to clean up your mess..."

…

Natasha's parents' house.

The usually neat and tidy courtyard had taken on a desolate air.

Some secrets can't be kept forever; Natasha's foster mother, learning of her daughter's death, had been overwhelmed with grief and fallen ill.

The two elderly people seldom left the house nowadays, spending most of their time at home.

One o'clock in the morning.

A shadowy figure quietly entered into the yard of Natasha's parents' home, moved slowly along the wall, reached the window, cut the screen with a knife, and climbed into the room.

The figure was nimble, and after entering a room on the first floor, tiptoed up the stairs to the second floor.

On the east side of the second floor was Natasha's old room. The shadow moved to the door, slowly opened it, and entered Natasha's room.

"Click!"

Suddenly, the light in the room turned on.

The figure was startled, followed by a voice saying, "LAPD, freeze!"

In the corner of the room sat two people, one was Luke, and the other was Little Black, both pointing guns at the figure.

Looking at the figure, dressed in black with a black hood, they appeared to be female.

Luke said, "Take off your hood.

No sudden movements."

The figure in black sighed lightly and slowly removed the hood as Luke had instructed, revealing a short-haired woman.

"Agent Alfie Imma, I didn't expect it to be you?"

"Captain Lee, what are you doing here?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking that question, why are you here in the middle of the night at the victim's parents' house?

And dressed so uniquely, is this the FBI's new uniform?"

"I'm here on a case, the same as you."

"This doesn't look like case work to me."

"Tonight at the hospital, I heard about the theft at Natasha's family's house, so I wanted to come here and look for new biological material."

"Then why not come in an official capacity?"

"It's too late to apply for a search warrant now, and I was worried about a repeat of last time's affair, so I sneaked in to look for evidence."

"What do you mean by 'a repeat of last time's affair'?"

"Someone broke into Natasha's home and stole, causing her biological material to be destroyed. So, I wanted to come over as soon as possible to collect it."

"Did you find anything?"

"I just got in, I haven't had time to search yet."

"Marcus, search her."

Marcus stepped forward and ordered, "Hands on your head, don't move, and no tricks."

Marcus cuffed her, then searched her body, finding a handgun and a clear plastic bag containing several strands of long hair.

Luke picked up the clear plastic bag and inspected it, "If I'm not mistaken, the hair in this bag should match the DNA of the body found at the explosion site.

After the explosion at the Jujutsu Club, the one who went to Natasha's house to steal was you, with two goals in mind.

One was to plant fake biological material at Natasha's place.

The other was to create a false crime scene, framing it on the Gonsede Gang.

What was your purpose in doing this?"

Instead of answering, Alfie Imma countered, "How did you suspect me?"

"I'm asking the questions right now, is Natasha alive or dead?"

Alfie Imma, with a sense of resignation, said, "This matter is complicated and significant, it cannot be known by too many people.

I will only tell you."

Luke said, "You seem not to understand the situation, I'm not here to negotiate with you."
