Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Blackie returned to the Robbery and Murder Division office.

"Hey guys, I'm back.

Did you miss me?"

The deputy team leader said, "You disappeared for a day. You'd better find some clues. Otherwise, I will suggest that the captain will mark you as absent from work for one day."

Xiao Hei pinched his chin with his right hand, "Vice-captain, don't doubt my ability, never."

Luke heard the noise and walked out of the office, "Did Marcus notice?"

"Of course, I asked some friends in the gang to look for clues about the suspect vehicle. Among them, a black car market sold a car of the same make, model, and color some time ago. The engine serial number of that car was also smoothed.

I promised them that as long as I assist the police in providing clues about car buyers, I will not pursue the responsibility of the black car market.

Captain, what do you think?"

"No problem." Luke responded.

As long as there is a market and a chain of interests, this kind of black car market cannot be cut off. If you catch them today, new ones will pop up tomorrow. It is better to keep the obedient ones.

Xiaohei continued, "According to the person in charge of the black car market, the person who bought the car was probably a white man, over 1.8 meters tall, wearing a baseball cap, a mask, and sunglasses. He didn't recognize him, and he didn't see his face clearly.

Both parties paid in cash, with one hand handing over the money and the other hand handing over the car, and the whole process took less than half an hour.”

Jackson shrugged, "It's impossible for us to find the suspect just based on his skin color and height."

"Rookie, shut up." Xiao Hei retorted and continued,

“Black car markets like this are generally not open to the public. Most of the time, they need to be introduced through middlemen. Although people in the black car market do not know the buyers, there are middlemen between them.

This middleman is called Khufu, and as long as we find him, we can find the whereabouts of the suspect."

Luke took the opportunity to ask, "Do you know where to find Khufu?"

Xiao Hei was confident, "Of course, I've already inquired about it, and I'm just waiting for your order."

"Dong dong..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

"Creak..." There was a sound of the door, and Anthony opened the door and walked in.

Luke was a little surprised, "Shouldn't you stay in the hospital?"

"I've been here enough. After the examination, I'm fine. If I continue to stay in the hospital, I will really get sick." Anthony pulled up a chair and sat down. "Is there any progress in the investigation of the case?"

"Of course, you want to take over the case again?"

"No, my current situation is not suitable for taking over the case, but when I think of my colleagues who were killed...

I have to do something...just let me participate in the investigation of the case.

The Los Angeles Police Department is the main force, and we are assisted by the FBI."

"Deal." Luke briefly introduced the progress of the case.

…

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Troy Bar.

This bar is not large and is mainly divided into three areas: bar, booths and dance floor.

Luke and Xiao Hei walked into the bar one after another.

There were mostly black people in the bar. Luke couldn't figure out why the bar was called Troy. "Are you sure the middleman Khufu is here?"

"I asked around and found out that he drinks, talks about business, and picks up girls here almost every night. This bar is considered his base camp."

Xiao Hei said, looking around and pointing at a black man next to the bar, "That's Khufu, I've seen his picture."

Luke nodded and motioned for Xiao Hei to walk ahead.

Xiao Hei staggered to the bar, sat down, ordered two glasses of whiskey, and handed one of them to Khufu, "Brother, please give it to you."

Khufu looked him over and asked, "Who are you? Why did you treat me to a drink?"

"I heard about your name and want to do some business with you."

"But I don't know you, who are you?"

"Have you ever heard of the Blood Demon?"

Khufu smiled, "Are you kidding me?"

Xiao Hei opened his mouth, revealing two sharp fangs, "I am Marcus the Blood Demon, and it won't be long before my name will be heard throughout Los Angeles."

"In other words, you just came out to hang out."

"No, I just came out, but I didn't just come out to hang out."

"Tell me, what kind of business do you want to discuss with me?"

"I want to buy a car, a clean car."

Khufu smiled, "This is a bar, not a car 4S shop. Are you in the wrong place?"

"Listen, I know you and what you do.

You should also know what kind of car I want, so hurry up."

Khufu thought for a moment and said, "Sorry, I don't discuss business with strangers."

"Hey, I have a friend who said that once you are familiar with something new, there is always a process of getting to know someone."

While talking, Xiao Hei took out a wad of bills from his pocket and put it under his nose and smelled it, "Are you familiar with it?"

Khufu picked up the wine glass and took a sip, staring at the banknotes out of the corner of his eye.

Xiao Hei smiled and pushed the banknotes in front of him, "I said that Blood Demon's name will soon be resounding in Los Angeles. This is the first business, but it will definitely not be the last.

Man, working with me will be the best choice in your life."

Khufu glanced around, grabbed the banknotes, counted them, and put them into his pocket, "Man, what car do you want?"

Xiao Hei asked, "What kind of car can you get?"

Khufu rubbed his hands, "As long as we have this, any car will be no problem."

"Can you make sure the car is clean? I don't want to get into trouble."

"Don't worry, the license plate number, engine serial number... everything will be taken care of. You just need to pay and pick up the car."

"How to trade?"

"Cash, you can take the car away after paying the money."

"What about the price of the car?"

"It depends on what kind of car you want? Different cars have different prices. You should understand this."

"I want a black Ford SUV."

Khufu was stunned for a moment and looked a little wary, "Why do you want this car?"

"I like this car, are there any questions?"

"No, I can help you find out. This money will be regarded as a deposit." After Khufu finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as he turned around, he saw a young man with black hair standing in front of him, "Hey, boy, if you have a sharp eye, get out of the way."

Luke showed his police badge and said, "I'll give you another chance."

"Sorry, sir, I shouldn't have blocked your way." Khufu forced a smile and prepared to leave from the side.

However, Xiao Hei had already stepped in front of him, "Man, it's not so easy to get my money."

"Uh..." Khufu looked at Luke, then at Xiao Hei, and took out the banknotes from his pocket, "Haha, I was joking just now, give it back to you."

Luke pressed Khufu's shoulder and asked him to sit back on the stool, "Listen, we are not here to listen to jokes. Did someone buy a black Ford SUV through you four days ago?"

Khufu swallowed nervously, "I don't know what you are talking about? Are you looking for the wrong person?"

Xiao Hei reminded, "Dude, don't be shy. What you just said was very good. If you don't want to say it here, you can go back to the police station with us.

The police station has delicious coffee, warm beds, and affable police officers. I believe you will like it."

"Nonono, please don't do this. That's not where I should go."

"How do you know you don't like it if you don't go?"

"I have been there before, but I never want to go again. Please don't embarrass me. I have changed my ways."

The gangster said, "That's not what you said when you took away the banknotes just now. Do you want to watch the video of the law enforcement recorder and recall it carefully?"

Khufu slapped his forehead, "God, what do you want? I just help my friends and earn some household income..."

Luke said, "We are not interested in your trivial information. We just want to know the identity of the person who bought the black Ford SUV."
