Super Detective in the Fictional World - Chapter 460
Chapter 460: Too Reckless! Can’t They Be More Cautious?
After two minutes, the tracking program provided an address, and Luke simply hung up.
Du…
Roger put down his phone blankly. “Son of a b*tch! Is there something wrong with you? You rambled on for such a long time, only to tell me that you called the wrong number?”
Selina didn’t even turn her head. Looking at the view outside the window, she asked lazily, “Found the place?”
Luke shrugged. “Roger is at Louisiana K Tower Hotel.”
Just now, he had used the fake phone to play the voice of a beautiful Mexican anchor and keep Roger on the line for several minutes in order to trace the guy’s whereabouts.
Roger was a seasoned rank two sergeant in the Major Crimes Division, and Luke trusted his capability.
Wherever Roger was, that would be where they would find Dito Flores.
Because they both knew that Martin would be waiting for Dito there.
The good news was that Martin probably hadn’t taken action yet, or Roger wouldn’t be so free to speak with a Mexican anchor on the phone.
Luke started up the car again and drove to K Tower Hotel.
The city was bathed in the orange light of the setting sun, which made it look warm.
There were few tall buildings on both sides of the streets; most were detached houses and small buildings with two or three floors.
These buildings had been painted in all sorts of splendid colors which was the style that the Mexicans liked.
Various shades of red and yellow mixed with white, green and blue to leave a strong impression on any visitor.
Short palm trees grew on the roadside, with the odd tree or so that had been planted in front of some of the houses, while lush green vines grew around some windows.
Selina mumbled, “This looks nice.”
Luke hummed in agreement.
But after they passed several young women in super short skirts and white silk stockings, Selina was roused from her childish fantasy, and she sighed. “Alright, it’s actually not very nice.”
Luke didn’t say anything.
He didn’t need Sharp Nose to know what those girls were doing.
They were engaged in a certain profession, and the white silk stockings which they were wearing were a mark of their identities.
There were even more girls on the streets who acted as escorts part-time, but their revealing clothes and suggestive expressions hinted that they could provide more than just that.
This place looked beautiful, but in the end, it wasn’t heaven.
Or rather, the whole of Mexico had never been heaven. On the contrary, more and more people said that it felt like hell.
Luke’s car went down Revolution Avenue and passed the stainless steel grand arch which was a Tijuana landmark.
Under the grand arch was a memorial wall in remembrance of the revolution. Mottled dark brown, it was pretty impressive. It was just that Luke… felt that it was a little too “new.”
Alright, he even felt that if it was a little more dilapidated and had more bullet holes or missing bits or something, it might better convey the air of the revolution.
As if they were just out for a ride, Luke and Selina slowly passed through Revolution Avenue and turned onto a narrower street which they drove down for another two minutes.
It wasn’t a long road, but it was only slightly broader than a two-lane road, and there were a lot of pedestrians who were slow to steer clear of the car, so Luke couldn’t drive fast.
Luke wasn’t in a rush and slowly made his way out of the narrow street.
Looking at a building up ahead which was much taller than the other buildings around it, Selina said, “That’s K Tower Hotel. Are we going in?”
Luke thought for a moment and said, “Let’s do some reconnaissance first.”
They circled K Tower Hotel in their car. Selina let out the drone halfway and examined the surrounding environment via the tablet.
“Hey… Has Martin taken action?” She suddenly spoke up and turned the tablet to show Luke.
Luke glanced at the screen and said, “I can’t say for sure, but it seems very likely.”
A gunfight was happening in some room on the fifth floor of K Tower Hotel. The room was a complete mess.
But a gunfight wasn’t a rare occurrence anywhere in Mexico.
After a few minutes, a window shattered, and a man was thrown out and smashed onto a car at the bottom of the building.
Selina said, “Okay, I see Martin.”
“Where’s Dito?” asked Luke.
Selina: “I don’t see him, just seven or eight bodyguards fighting Martin.”
As she said that, two black SUVs rushed out of the hotel’s parking lot and headed east.
Pondering for a moment, Luke followed them in the car.
Dito might not necessarily be in either car, but the chance was still there.
If Martin had already killed Dito in the hotel, Luke naturally wouldn’t intervene.
If Dito was in one of the SUVs, Luke didn’t mind giving Martin a hand.
Selina said, “Roger has shown up. He and Martin are dealing with the bodyguards.”
Luke chuckled. “Roger does love Martin, after all.”
This was Mexico. Roger and Martin, two detectives from the Major Crimes Division in Los Angeles, had no law enforcement power here.
Martin was going all out here as revenge for his murdered wife and unborn baby, and didn’t care about the consequences.
Roger had a happy family life and didn’t have a low position at work; things might get very ugly for him now that he had gotten involved in a gang fight in Mexico.
But there was nothing that Luke could do to help them.
It now depended on how fast Roger and Mexico could run. As long as the Mexican police didn’t catch them at the scene, there was always a chance to wrangle their way out of things.
A moment later, Selina alerted Luke: “Roger and Martin are out. They’re heading our way.”
Luke shrugged. “Looks like we’re following the right cars.”
That being said, he maintained a steady pace and didn’t chase after the cars in a hurry.
He didn’t plan to start a huge fight in the city.
Two minutes later, a car whizzed past Luke’s car.
Selina was silent for a moment as she looked at the image on the tablet before she couldn’t help saying, “Luke, it seems that was… Roger’s car.”
Luke couldn’t help rolling his eyes. “I know. Martin’s with him too.”
Saying that, he couldn’t help but slap the wheel. “D*mn it. Those two are more than seventy years old combined. Can’t they be more cautious?”
Even as he said it, things had already turned into a mess up ahead.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots rang out. Selina gaped and only muttered a moment later, “They’ve already caught up. Both sides are now trading fire on the street.”
At that moment, she really felt that Roger and Martin were too rash.
This wasn’t Los Angeles. Was it really okay for them to trade fire with Dito’s gang on the street in broad daylight?
Luke pursed his lips. He didn’t know what to say.
The Mexican police in Tijuana weren’t dead; they would certainly show up to see what was going on.
And with the mess that Roger and Martin had made, it would be difficult for Luke to follow Dito to his nest and clean it up in one go.
