Gandle’s usually dour expression brightened. He was pleased with the progress of the case and the lead that had surfaced.
“Okay, gentlemen, I want to know,” he said.
“When we know,” Bosch said.
Gandle left the meeting room, and Bosch and Ferras were left standing in front of the screen.
“Nice going, Harry. You made him happy.”
“He’ll be happier if we clear this thing.”
“What do you think?”
“I think we have some work to do before the Li family gets here. You check with the lab and see what they’ve got done. See if they’re finished with the cash register. Bring it over here if you can.”
“What about you?”
Bosch turned the screen off and ejected the disc.
“I’m going to go have a talk with Detective Chu.”
“You think he held something back on us?”
“That’s what I’m going to find out.”

The AGU was part of the Gang and Operations Support Division, from which many undercover investigations and officers were directed. As such the GOSD was located in an unmarked building several blocks away from the PAB. Bosch decided to walk because he knew it would take longer to get his car out of the garage, fight the traffic and then have to find another place to park. He got to the front door of the AGU office at eight-thirty, pressed the buzzer but nobody answered. He pulled his phone, ready to try to call Detective Chu, when a familiar voice came from behind him.
“Good morning, Detective Bosch. I wasn’t expecting to see you here.”
Bosch turned. It was Chu, arriving with his briefcase.
“Nice hours you guys get to keep over here,” Bosch replied.
“Yeah, we like to keep it light.”
Bosch stepped back so Chu could open the door with a card key.
“Come on in.”
Chu led the way to a small squad room with about a dozen desks and a lieutenant’s office on the right. Chu went behind one of the desks and put his briefcase down on the floor.
