Chapter 580 Drug Lord from Peru
After putting Hannah on the plane to Florida, Jack read the information on the Elmar Gang and Raimundo Salazar in the car, and called Danny.
The scale of this drug cartel is only small compared to their counterparts in Mexico. Judging from the data, the methods of these guys in Peru were quite cruel, especially when dealing with witnesses who were willing to testify against them. They often poured gasoline on them to directly testify against them. Burn to death.
Jack didn't know much about the country of Peru. Apart from Machu Picchu, which he knew about when playing the "Civilization" series, there was only the high wall in Lima, the country's capital, that separated the rich areas from the slums.
If Danny was going to testify directly against Raymundo Salazar for killing someone on the street as a witness, the risks involved were not small, and Jack felt it was necessary to remind him.
The DEA has been keeping an eye on the Al Mar Gang for more than a year, but Raimundo Salazar's whereabouts are elusive and he acts very low-key. They have provided a bunch of tracking data and reports, but there are not many useful parts.
Jack asked about Danny's location on the phone and drove to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
Arriving at the door of Eileen Regan's office, Jack was about to knock on the door when the office door suddenly opened, and a tall, thin, middle-aged white man in a high-end suit just walked out of it.
The other party nodded politely to him, then turned around and left quickly. Jack pushed open the door and said hello to Danny and Erin who were standing side by side at the desk.
"Who was that guy just now?" Looking at Danny's stinky face, he knew that the conversation just now was not very pleasant to him, so Jack asked casually.
"Lyle Greene, the special prosecutor in the drug gang case, heard that Danny was willing to testify against Raimundo Salazar, so he came here specially to deliver relevant information."
Irene had a good impression of Jack and took the initiative to reach out and shake his hand. She was only a year or two older than Zoe and Maureen, but she looked like two generations. Her careful makeup could not hide the fact that Europeans and Americans are prone to premature aging. The skin, eye bags and crow's feet are very serious.
The only thing worth mentioning is that she has a figure that is comparable to that of a supermodel. It is completely impossible to tell that she is the mother of a 14-year-old daughter. Standing next to Danny, wearing high heels, she is half a head taller than Danny.
"The prosecutor in charge of the Elmar gang? I heard that they encountered a lot of trouble, and witnesses were silenced one after another."
Jack shrugged. This name was in the information he just read. Obviously, as the special prosecutor in charge of the Elmar Gang case, his work was not very successful.
"They watched the Alma gang spread throughout Harlem, and weekly shipments of cocaine increased from tens of thousands of dollars to $400,000 today.
This is not a matter of getting into trouble, it is simply indulgence. Even a donkey in that position would be more qualified than him. "
Danny's outspokenness aroused dissatisfaction from his sister, "You can't have a better attitude. No matter what, Lyle Greene is on our side."
Seeing that the brother and sister were about to argue childishly again, Jack promptly handed over the information in his hand to interrupt, "Anyway, now that this case is in the hands of the NYPD, Danny will definitely find Raimundo Sala." of.
This is the FBI's information on the Elmar Gang. Most of it comes from the DEA. It may be a bit overlapping with the one you just got, so it can only be used for reference. "
Danny took the information handed over by Jack, weighed it in his hands, and raised his lips higher, "The FBI's information is more detailed than what that guy provided."
He turned around and saw Irene's eyebrows almost standing up, and shrugged, "Okay, I know what you are going to say, I must have a better attitude next time.
I checked the child who died last night. There was no criminal record. He was a teacher who specialized in caring for children with learning disabilities and autism. He was a nice young man. It was such a pity. "
Knowing that her brother was a man of temperament, and his thoughts were shown on his face, Irene's attitude softened, and she put her arm around Danny's shoulders and gave him a hug.
"Forget it, you're just like this. I won't get used to it if you don't behave like this one day. I just want you to know that I'm glad you were okay last night."
After saying that, she looked at Jack again, "Please keep an eye on him. Raimundo Salazar is not that easy to deal with. Having one hero in our family is enough."
Jack said OK and left Erin's office with Danny.
When he arrived at the parking lot, he took out a close-fitting soft body armor from the trunk of the Dodge Hellcat and threw it to Danny, who received a look of disgust.
"Put it on, you should be glad that this is not Los Angeles." I know this guy dislikes the heat, but the summer in New York is stronger than that in Los Angeles. Moreover, with the virtue of wasting energy in the United States, there is air conditioning 24 hours a day wherever you go. Not to mention how difficult it was.
"Do you have any ideas on how to catch Raimundo Salazar?" Watching Danny put on his body armor and fasten his seat belt, Jack started the car and drove towards the NYPD police station building.
"The kid he beat to death was named David Talley. After you left last night, my partner Jackie and I went to his apartment and met his mother and his brother Mark Talley.
David Talley's resume is clean, and he has just arrived in New York less than half a year ago, so no problems can be found for the time being. However, his brother Mark Talley, who works in a financial company, is suspected by the DEA of using his authority to gang up on Elmar. Drug money was moved into currency accounts on Wall Street.
Although this is only a small role, he probably knows something. Jackie is on the way to invite him to the police station. We will see him in the inquiry room later. "Danny obviously already has an idea.
"Do you think he knows why his brother was killed?" Jack asked knowingly.
"At least he should know something." Danny was also a little unsure. It stands to reason that if Raimundo Salazar thought there was something wrong with Mark Terry, he should get rid of him directly instead of attacking his brother.
After all, the two parties are not in an equal partnership. It would not be troublesome for the Alma Gang to kill Mark Terry directly. After all, the latter only controls a small part of their money laundering channels, and there is no such thing as a trap.
"There must be something in there that we don't know about, but even if Mark Terry doesn't know, we can find a way to dig out Raimundo Salazar through him."
Perhaps influenced by the story in Cassel last night, Danny's mind also took a few more twists and turns, but his acting style has not changed, and he is still straightforward.
While talking, the two of them arrived at the NYPD headquarters in Police Plaza. They went directly to the detective team office on the second floor and met Jackie, Danny's female partner, who had also just returned.
