North American Rough Police: Starting from the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 15 The Legend of the Los Angeles Police Department

David looked at Ms. Nancy in front of him with a bit of sadness in his eyes. He had just learned the identity of Ms. Nancy and the skeleton outside.

Who would have thought that the skeleton was actually that of the legendary Detective Henry Morgan of the Los Angeles Police Department?

And Ms. Nancy is Henry Morgan’s wife, uh, now it’s more appropriate to say she’s a widow.

Henry Morgan became famous in the mid-80s. At that time, Los Angeles was full of gangs and drugs were rampant. Gangs were often seen fighting on the streets, and it turned into a real crime city at night.

Corruption and lack of discipline within the Los Angeles Police Department have led to a state of chaos and disorder throughout Los Angeles, with the crime rate skyrocketing.

And because of the backward criminal investigation technology, many murder cases ended up being unsolved. Until Henry Morgan emerged, he solved murder cases one after another and brought criminals to justice, which once saved the reputation of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Of course, it seems now that Henry Morgan's crime detection rate is naturally not as good as that of today's Los Angeles Police Department detective Tom Williams, but when you think about the background of his era, you can't help but admire him.

In that era, Henry Morgan almost single-handedly maintained the bottom line of the Los Angeles Police Department, and he was awarded the title of Los Angeles City Hero.

This is why detectives Edmund and Teresa are reluctant to interrogate Granny Nancy.

Because Henry Morgan is truly a legend of the police force and a hero of the city, many methods cannot be used against his widow, even if she is now the biggest suspect.

David also felt the pressure. When he joined lapd, he was largely inspired by the heroic deeds of Henry Morgan.

He considered his words, thought of a tactful entry point, and asked: "Mrs. Morgan, can you tell me how Henry died?"

"I haven't heard anyone call me that for a long time..."

A smile appeared on Nancy Morgan's face. She looked at Locke and said with a smile: "When Henry was young, he was as tall, handsome, and confident as you. When I saw you, I thought of him..."

She looked at David again, "But when he was about to retire, just like you, he also gained weight at that time, his belly became bigger, he lost his former grace, and his ears began to become deaf..."

Locke and David looked at each other and instantly understood why they were called by Nancy Morgan to take notes. It turned out that Grandma Nancy saw Henry Morgan in them.

Next, without David and Locke asking, Nancy Morgan spoke on her own.

She looked calm, petted the cat gently, showed a look of nostalgia, and said calmly: "This is a joke of Henry. He wants to know how long it will take for you to find out that he is dead..."

Both Locke and David looked stunned, not quite believing Nancy Morgan's words, because just before they came in, the police detective team had obtained some new information.

That is, Henry Morgan has been receiving his pension, so everyone’s first reaction was to think that Nancy Morgan was stealing Henry Morgan’s pension.

Anna Davis and Captain Jones outside, as well as Edmund and Theresa, also looked hesitant.

"Three years, it's been three years, you finally found him..."

Nancy Morgan looked at Locke, her eyes full of gratitude, "Boy, I heard that you were the one who discovered Henry. Thank you. Although he stayed with me for another three years, he shouldn't be lying there..."

According to Nancy Morgan, Henry Morgan in his later years had to rely on a wheelchair and crutches because of a stroke. Three years ago, he accidentally fell down the stairs.

At that time, she fell down and hit her head. Nancy Morgan wanted to send Henry to the hospital immediately, but Henry seemed to have predicted something and stopped Nancy.

He said that he did not want to hold a memorial service like this and be paid homage by the descendants of the Los Angeles Police Department, so he asked Nancy to bury him directly in the back garden.

Nancy Morgan raised her head slightly and looked at the mirror behind Locke and the others. "In the first few years when Henry retired, he was often invited by the Los Angeles Police Department. But later, as time passed, the Los Angeles Police Department gradually stopped inviting him to participate. He moved, maybe because he had difficulty moving, maybe because he was deaf, the Los Angeles Police Department began to forget about him, and he slowly turned into an ordinary old man..."

"So, so Henry said this was a joke he made with the LAPD, let's see when you find out he's dead..."

At this point, her expression finally changed, and her voice was choked, "He died in my arms. I don't know if I killed him. If I sent him to the hospital, maybe he wouldn't die……"

"I wanted him to be discovered early, so I didn't dig the hole too deep. He was buried very shallow..."

"It's strange. At that time, he had obviously started to stutter, but that time, he spoke extremely smoothly, as if he had regained his former high-spirited, confident and calm..."

"Now, he can finally go to where he should be..."

"..."

After listening to Nancy Morgan's story, David looked a little gloomy. He had begun to believe Nancy Morgan, because this was indeed something Henry Morgan could do.

Based on his understanding of Henry Morgan, the legendary detective of the LAPD was a very proud and arrogant person. He used his own death to satirize the Los Angeles Police Department's forgetfulness of him.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Henry Morgan’s pension was stolen.

According to Nancy, Henry Morgan has been dead for three years, which means that his pension has been stolen for three years. This is a very serious accusation in California.

Just as David was about to ask about this matter, there was a knock on the door of the inquiry room.

"Boom...boom..."

Anna Davis opened the door and walked in. Behind her was a middle-aged white policeman with three stars on his collar.

David immediately stood up and saluted: "Hello, Director..."

Locke slowed down and saluted accordingly. From David's name, he already knew who the person who followed Anna in was. He had only heard this name this morning.

Los Angeles Police Department, Chief of the Western Division, Garrett Miller, is also the direct leader of the entire Wilshire Police Department.

Garrett Miller said to Locke and David: "Two officers, your work is over. You can get off work. Thank you for your efforts..."

Locke and David did not leave immediately. Instead, they looked at Anna Davis first, saw her nodding, then moved their seats, nodded to Nancy Morgan, and then walked out.

Before I even left the house, I heard Garrett Miller greeting Nancy Morgan cordially.

At the door, Captain Jones saw the two people coming out and high-fived them respectively, "Guys, thank you for your hard work..."

Detectives Edmund and Teresa also came over to thank the two.

On the way to the parking lot, both Locke and David were a little silent. Everyone will grow old, and the former heroes will be forgotten, let alone them!

Locke held the door of the F150 and looked at David who was already in the car. After David pressed the window, "What else can you do?"

Locke asked: "Will Nancy Morgan be prosecuted?"

David shrugged and shook his head: "How would I know, but now that Director Miller is here in person, maybe things will turn around. After all, this is a scandal for the Los Angeles Police Department..."

He started the car, turned around and continued: "This is something the big guys should worry about. Remember to go find Captain Jones tomorrow morning..."

"understood!!!"

"One more thing, don't tell anyone about Henry Morgan's case!"

"Uh, got it!"

Locke watched David leave and got into the car.

When I was starting the car and preparing to leave, the panel suddenly flashed out.
