Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

Chapter 507: Target


Jackson walked over, glanced at Honey List, and said to Luke, "Captain, we checked that phone number, there's good news and bad news."

Jackson didn't keep them in suspense, he continued, "The good news is, we have found the exact identity information of Tapani Reagan.

However, his phone has been deactivated and can't be located."

Luke wasn't surprised by the news, if he didn't have at least this level of caution, he wouldn't be behaving like a terrorist.

Luke looked at Honey List beside him, "Buddy, I need your help."

"No problem, give me an M4, and I'll help you bring that guy back." Retired soldiers need more than just material support; respect is more important.

Jackson was a little surprised, "I thought you'd pity this guy."

"That's right, I do feel for him, but that doesn't mean I agree with him. I live a tough life in this city, but there are people here I need to protect; I don't want them to get hurt, that's the only thing I can do for them."

Although Luke thought he might not be a terrorist, he didn't fully trust him and certainly wouldn't let him participate in the capture. I admire your courage; I'll look for you if needed, but right now, I need you to assist with something else.

"What is it?"

"You and Tapani Reagan are both retired soldiers with similar experiences, and you've also met him and communicated with him, so you have some understanding of him. I want you to help analyze, if you were him, to create the next terror attack, who or where would you target?"

Honey List thought for a moment, "He has always been resentful of the betrayal by his friends and wife, feeling that this ruined his life.

If I were him, I would take out those two as well, believe me, any talk of a terror attack is just incidental.

At heart, he's a soldier, not a lunatic terrorist.

However, Tapani Reagan loves his child very much, his child is still young, and he wouldn't let the child lose both parents.

So even if he hates his ex-wife, he might spare her for the sake of the child.

Therefore, I think his target is most likely the adulterer."

Luke mostly agreed with Honey List's speculation.

Honey List and Tapani Reagan have similar life experiences; their views and actions on certain things would also be similar, only Honey List was a bit luckier, having a mother who always loved him.

Afterwards, Luke gathered his team members and assigned tasks.

"Although we found a possible terrorist suspect, Tapani Reagan, his phone cannot be located, so we have to find other ways to track him.

Our task is simple, find Tapani Reagan's wife and ask her for the identity of the adulterer, as Tapani Reagan might use an explosion to retaliate against the adulterer."

The deputy team leader said, "I mostly agree with your reasoning, but it's just that, reasoning doesn't mean Tapani Reagan won't choose another attack target or location.

If we only track the adulterer and he succeeds, what then?"

Luke explained, "This case is mainly handled by the FBI, we don't need to oversee everything, we just need to investigate the most promising leads.

Leave the rest to the FBI, Ok?"

The deputy team leader smiled, "Although it sounds a bit irresponsible, I like it."

In cases like this terrorist incident, the FBI is the main handler; LAPD is just assisting. If the terrorist is caught, the FBI gets more credit and naturally bears more responsibility.

But Luke's advantage is that he is both LAPD and FBI, so he can get double credit.

If he handed the case over to other departments, Luke wouldn't have such luck.

Then, the police found out the address of Tapani Reagan's ex-wife, rushed there late at night, and knocked on the door.

Without wasting words, Luke directly asked her, the identity of the adulterer.

But this woman did not admit to having an affair.

Until Luke told her that her ex-husband Tapani Reagan was likely to attack the other person.

Tapani Reagan's ex-wife finally admitted to having a lover and revealed his identity, Jordan Reddy.

At the same time, Matthew also found Tapani Reagan's criminal records at the police station, including an intentional injury charge, and the victim was Jordan Reddy. Both lines matched up.

This person is likely Tapani Reagan's target for the attack.

At the request of Tapani Reagan's ex-wife, the police left two officers for protection.

Afterwards, Luke led a team heading to Jordan Reddy's home.

It was already 10 PM, the lights in Jordan Reddy's living room were still on, and Luke personally went to check by the living room window.

A middle-aged white man was holding a Latina woman, sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Luke observed carefully for a while, recognizing the man as Jordan Reddy.

From his demeanor, he didn't appear to be under threat.

Luke stepped back to the door and pressed the doorbell, "Ding-dong."

A moment later, the door opened, and Jordan Reddy stood at the door asking, "Who are you looking for?"

A black officer showed his badge, "LAPD, we'd like to talk with you, can we come in?"

"Sorry, I don't like strangers entering my house, whatever it is, say it here."
