Chapter 652: Red Sea Rage (V)
"In the past decade, there has never been such a horrific case. South American countries must deeply reflect on the omissions and negligence in regional security and public safety. At the same time, the chaos in shipping trade in the entire Americas is closely related to the US Congress's repeated intervention in the internal affairs of other South American countries..." - Soviet News Agency.
"The devil from hell has come to the world again. The Mexican drug dealers are crazy, the Mexican government's inaction, and the current president's poor governance together constitute the root cause of this tragedy. The US Congress and the people deeply regret this. The president has urged the Pacific Fleet to expand its patrol range and increase the frequency of patrols to effectively protect the safety of every American citizen within the territorial waters..." - Los Angeles Times
"Breaking news! Breaking news! A village massacre occurred in Sinaloa, Mexico! The drug manufacturing and distribution organization Guadalajara claimed responsibility for this!" The newsboy ran across the street while shouting those difficult Spanish words. Suddenly, a man stopped him and said, "Give me a newspaper."
The newsboy took the money from him and handed him a newspaper. After the man opened the newspaper, another female police officer in uniform came over and said with a sad look: "Has the number of victims increased to 135? I'm afraid more than one village has been victimized?"
"Yes, the latest news says that all the villagers in the three villages should have been massacred. The murderer has heavy firepower and these villagers have no ability to resist...Okay, Officer Chloe, let's continue our investigation."
Lucifer closed the newspaper, folded it up, put it in his pocket, turned his head and said to Chloe: "The paparazzi following Delilah said that his lover is a man named Gray Actor, do you know this Gray? What dramas has he acted in? "
Chloe crossed her arms and shook her head and said, "He shouldn't be a famous actor, otherwise the paparazzi would definitely expose them."
"Next, let's go find this Gray to investigate. Maybe he should know who killed Delilah."
Chloe nodded and agreed with Lucifer's idea. Just as they were getting in the police car and were about to leave, Chloe's communicator suddenly rang. He picked it up and said, "Hello? Dan? Linda looking for me? ...Oh, yes, what's wrong? She said she has something to tell us? Okay, let's go there now."
Chloe hung up the phone and said to Lucifer in the back seat, "Let's go to psychiatrist Linda first. She called the police station and said she had something to tell us."
"She won't want to tell us the name of Delilah's lover now, right? But what's the use, haven't we already investigated it?" Lucifer said a little dissatisfied.
"Don't be like this, Linda is a psychologist worthy of respect. After all, if I were to see a doctor, I wouldn't want my psychologist to tell the whole world about my privacy." Chloe said as she started the car and rushed to Delilah's psychological clinic.
The second time they came to this psychological clinic, the two were already familiar with it. Linda, who was wearing a doctor's uniform, poured a glass of water for both of them. After the three of them sat down around the sofa, Linda asked hesitantly: "Did you watch the news this morning?"
"What news do you mean?" Lucifer asked back.
"Three villages in Mexico were massacred, many people died, and the ones who did it were drug dealers..." Linda spoke a little intermittently, and seemed very sad.
Chloe nodded, also showing a sad expression, and said: "This is regrettable news. Those criminals are too cruel."
"What do you want to talk to us about?" Lucifer asked impatiently. He didn't like this psychiatrist. When he came to ask for information before, Linda refused to tell him any clues, which exhausted Lucifer's patience.
Linda sat on the sofa, her legs closed, her arms on her knees, and she kept rubbing her palms. After a long time, she said: "Delilah is dead, but her death may not be that simple."
"You don't need to say this." Lucifer said unhappily. Chloe touched his arm. Lucifer took a deep breath and stopped talking.
"I know you suspect that it might be her ex-husband or lover who killed her, but the truth may be more complicated than that." Linda pushed her glasses and said.
"You have any additional clues, right? Doctor, please tell us." Chloe leaned forward and looked into Linda's eyes.
Linda sighed, took a sip of water from her glass, and said, "When Delilah came to me to talk, I found that she had symptoms of anxiety disorder. When I was looking for the cause, I found that she was very panicked."
"I gave her psychological counseling, but her condition did not improve significantly. As the treatment progressed, she was willing to reveal more of her emotions buried in her heart. I found that she was addicted to drugs, and she had only recently contracted it."
"What's so strange about this? In those neighborhoods in South Los Angeles, everyone you meet is addicted to drugs, and those drug addicts are very proud of this, but my bar doesn't welcome them." Lucifer said.
"I mean, she didn't want to get addicted to drugs. It might be an accident, or someone might have forced her to do it." Linda took another sip of water.
"You mean, someone deliberately made Delilah addicted to drugs, but why did that person do that?"
"Maybe to sell drugs." Linda shook her head and said, "Delilah didn't tell me the details. I observed this from her emotions. She didn't give up on herself like other hidden gentlemen. She felt very painful for this."
"And the most important thing is... Linda paused and said, "During the hypnosis process, I found that someone might be forcing her to sell drugs."
Lucifer and Chloe frowned together. In their minds, it is their freedom for someone to want to take drugs, but it is not for someone to force others to sell drugs.
"You mean, someone forced Delilah to sell drugs and made her addicted to drugs?" Chloe asked.
Linda nodded and said, "The following is just my speculation, there is no actual evidence, so you just listen to it. ”
“When Delilah first came to me, she was suffering from anxiety disorder, mainly because of the change in her living environment and her inability to adapt to the new group. Combined with her own actual situation, it may be because of the sudden popularity and the pressure she faced after entering the entertainment industry, which made her feel very nervous. ”
“Later, her love life began to have some problems. Her ex-husband was abusive and she also found a lover, but both ended in a not-so-good ending. ”
“During these periods, her emotions were still normal, but later, her panic went beyond the normal range. As far as I know, someone should have forced her to recommend and sell drugs in certain circles.”
Lucifer and Chloe looked at each other, and Lucifer asked, “Certain circles? Do you mean singer-songwriters and musicians? But there are many drug addicts in these circles. Do they still need Delilah to recommend them?”
“No. "Chloe denied it. She said, "You haven't dealt with this group of people, so you don't know. They get the goods from different channels and different places of origin. There is competition between many supply routes."
"In other words, the vicious competition among drug dealers makes the drug dealers in one of the supply routes want to force Delilah to snatch customers from singers and music creators?"
Lucifer said while thinking, and suddenly, he suddenly realized, he said, "When Delilah came to me, she hesitated several times, and seemed to have something to ask of me, but she didn't say it in the end. Could she just want to sell that thing to me?"
"It's very likely. Don't you run a bar? Bars have always been places where drug addicts are rampant. If you agree to his request, their sales may increase greatly." Chloe said.
"I never allow those troublesome guys to enter my bar. After they get high, they don't care and will cause a big mess. I won't agree to sell that kind of thing in my bar. "Lucifer said with a disgusted expression.
"It makes sense, doesn't it?" Linda continued, "Delilah became famous overnight because of an album. She has no foundation. If she wants to gain a foothold in this circle, she must find a backer."
"Those drug dealers may have taken advantage of her psychology, forcing her to take drugs and sell drugs to snatch customers for them."
Chloe sighed deeply, obviously feeling sorry for Delilah's experience, but soon, she thought again and said, "Then, will this group of people kill Delilah?"
"No, if they need Delilah to snatch customers for them, they shouldn't kill her so quickly. Delilah is popular and a new album is being prepared. Once the new album is brilliant again, it may be possible to go further. The drug dealers should not be so short-sighted and rush to kill her." Lucifer speculated.
Suddenly, the three of them paused, and Lucifer and Chloe said in unison: "Competitors! "
"If a group of drug dealers manipulated Delilah to snatch customers, then the competitors of this group of drug dealers would definitely not sit idly by, and the easiest way is to kill her..."
After Chloe finished speaking, she stood up immediately, and then continued: "Our previous focus has always been on Delilah, and we have not investigated the background of the killer. He said that he was hired by someone, but the person who hired him may not be a stranger. It is very likely that it was his boss, another group of drug dealers..."
"I will go back to the police station now and ask my colleagues in the Narcotics Division to help check which drug trafficking organization the killer belongs to."
After speaking, Chloe left quickly, and Lucifer chased after her. The two went to the police station together. After reporting the situation, Chloe successfully found the information.
It is precisely because of the tragedy in 1984 that the cities on the West Coast have achieved remarkable results in drug control. Almost most of the drug trafficking organizations in the city have records. After that big purge, there are not many drug trafficking organizations left. The organization that this drug dealer belongs to is a drug trafficking organization operating in northern Los Angeles.
The organization that might take action is the leader of the Los Angeles drug trafficking organization, "Black Wave". They have monopolized most of the drug business in Los Angeles for many years. They have fought with other gangs to snatch customers and have a bad record. It is very likely that they will kill people in order to continue to monopolize the customer base.
Chloe stood in the office and pointed to the information recorded in the document and said: "In the United States, except for some places in southern California, there are no conditions for the production of drug raw materials, so most drugs are imported."
"Before 1985, most drugs were Colombian drugs transferred from Mexico. At that time, Black Wave's source of goods came from Colombia."
"However, the great purge in 1984 cut off the source of most goods. They began to cooperate with some local drug manufacturing companies in Mexico. According to the information seized by the customs, most of their sources of goods came from a city in southern Mexico..."
Lucifer looked at the document and whispered the difficult name: "Guadalajara."
