North American Detective: I am Proficient in All Kinds of Gun Quick Draws-Chapter 578 - 328 I’m Back_1

"Go home, take a hot shower, get some sleep, and when you wake up, this will all be over."

Dean drove Lawrence back to his apartment building.

Lawrence nodded, then sighed, "Now that Old Hunter isn't in charge and you're gone. It's already tough for me alone, leading my own team, and it's hard to take care of Harry's side.

"It seems the chief might consider parachuting a detective into the fourth squad to take over your previous position, according to Old Hunter.

"Heh.

"They said you were just taking a break, but now they've changed their tune. Those people..."

He shook his head, opened the car door, waved at Dean, and disappeared into the stairwell.

Parachuting? Dean let out a cold laugh and drove back to his rental.

「The next day,」

The media in Los Angeles, like sharks that had caught the scent of blood, made the seemingly endless convoy of police cars that had torn through the city yesterday the headline of every newspaper and television station.

The Japanese embassy also sent a protest, hoping that the Los Angeles government would explain the brutal incident where their citizens were persecuted.

Explain? When have Americans ever treated the Japanese as people? When it's beneficial, they don't mind putting on a gentlemanly facade. But as soon as their own interests are threatened... Heh!!! In their eyes, these little runts are nothing but blood packs they've cultivated and attack dogs to keep that major Eastern power in check. Why would they possibly care about protests from their foreign ministry?

Of course, the formalities still needed to be observed. Especially since Mr. Saul himself had personally called to inquire about the situation and express his concern over this vicious incident. And so, the spokesperson for the Los Angeles Detective Bureau held a press conference to address the horrific events of the previous evening.

「Niel was out of town.」

Dean was home alone. He sat with his legs crossed beside the dismissed Lawrence, in front of the television, ready to see how the police would define the crimes they had committed last night at the press conference.

On TV, a blonde beauty was seriously addressing the crowd of reporters and media representatives below, "Ladies and gentlemen, concerning the violence last night, our police department has discovered important clues at the scene and identified the suspect!

"The murderer was extremely vicious, killing everyone in that club. Before leaving, they also attempted to destroy any traces left at the scene with fire. But they underestimated our Los Angeles police force! After an all-night investigation, our department's experts eventually found a handgun in a pile of debris—belonging to the assailant and nearly burned beyond recognition...

"According to the analysis of the shell casings found at the scene, this handgun can be confirmed as having been left by the murderer. The police then used advanced forensic methods to retrieve a fingerprint from the handgun. A search of the criminal database revealed that the fingerprint belongs to a man named Manolangin Chir.

"Manolangin Chir is a gang leader. Over a month ago, his gang had a territorial dispute with the deceased. After the conflict, members of Manolangin's gang were attacked by a mysterious gunman in a bar. They suffered heavy casualties and completely lost control of their gang's territory. Our urgent investigation subsequently revealed that most of these deceased individuals had gang backgrounds. They were members of the Japanese Yakuza, specifically the Yamaguchi-gumi. We have reason to believe that it was they who, in an attempt to seize territory, dispatched gunmen to attack Manolangin's gang members, which in turn led to Manolangin's counterattack and revenge."

Upon hearing this, the reporters and media representatives in the audience erupted into a cacophony of discussion. Could this really be the truth?

The spokesperson tapped the microphone, a barely perceptible smirk playing on their otherwise serious face, "Quiet. Ladies and gentlemen, what I've just shared constitutes all the information we have gathered through our investigation. If any of you have further questions or wish to know more, please raise your hand. I will select a few of you to answer..."

A reporter, clearly arranged beforehand, immediately raised his hand.

The spokesperson, ignoring any other reporters, directly pointed to the man who had raised his hand, "You, the reporter from the Los Angeles Evening News, what is your question?"
