LA Detective

Chapter 101 Odor (addition 112)

In a black Dodge.

David asked while driving, "You should have a lot of income this month, right?"

Luke smiled, "That's right, I made a small fortune. If you need money, I can lend it to you."

"No, I've collected enough bail and I'm going to contact a lawyer to release Linda on bail."

"Good luck."

"What about you? How are you going to spend the money?"

"Maybe buy a car, BMW 730, what do you think?"

"COOL, it's a good car, if I have money, I might be tempted too.

But as someone who has experienced it, as your partner, I still want to advise you that it is best to spend the money left over from buying a car for some investment and financial management.

Life is very long, it is impossible to be lucky all the time, and there are always times when you are down, it is not a bad thing to save more money. "

Americans seldom mention money, and rarely ask other people's salary, which belongs to privacy.

However, it is not offensive to say that the police partner is a very intimate relationship.

Luke responded, "I thought so too."

"good."

"You are a smart man and will have a better future than me."

"Come on, don't be like an old man, you should start a new life." Luke didn't like David's lifeless feeling very much, and persuaded,
"Bail Linda out, and you don't owe her anything. It is impossible to take care of her forever. You should divorce and start a new relationship, and your life will turn over."

David smiled, "maybe."

A few minutes later, a black Dodge pulled up in front of Ball's garage.

After Luke got out of the car, he looked around, "This car repair shop seems to be so interesting. The previous one was not so much a car repair shop as a collection of stolen cars."

David said, "However, people who can afford a Mercedes-Benz s600 will not come here to repair their cars. They prefer to go to a professional 4S shop."

"The owner may not, but the driver can't tell." Luke strode into the garage, where several workers were busy repairing the car.

"Who's the boss?"

"I am, do you want to fix the car?" A middle-aged white man came over.

"You are Carus Ball?"

"Yes, is something wrong?"

"I'm Detective Luke, and this is Detective David."

"Have you found Santos Mending?"

"Well, can I talk to you?"

"Of course, please come in."

Carus Ball brought the two into the office.

It is said to be an office, but it is actually more like a lounge, with all kinds of sundries piled up.

"Sorry, the office is a bit messy." Carus Ball picked up the debris on the sofa and threw them on the chair in the corner. "Please sit down. Would you like something to drink?"

"No need." Luke turned on the body camera.

Carus Ball sat across from the two, "Is Santos okay? I miss him a little bit."

"No, he's not doing well."

"Is he injured? Or was he kidnapped?"

"he died."

"I bought it... that's the last thing I want to hear. He is a good man, and this kind of thing shouldn't happen."

"How long has Santos Mending been working here?"

"Eight or nine months."

"When was the last time you saw him?"

"On the evening of March 3, when he got off work.

The next day, he didn't come to work and there was no news.I called the phone and no one answered.

On March 3, he still didn't come to work, and his mobile phone couldn't be reached. I went to his house, but there was no one there, and I felt that something might have happened.

Just call the police. "

Luke said, "You are a responsible boss."

"He is the best employee in the store, works hard, never complains, never arrives late and leaves early, he is responsible for his work, and I am responsible for him."

"Do you know where his wife is?"

"No, I rarely ask about his family affairs. You have to know that it is not a good thing for the boss to know the employees too well."

"His family lives at 122 Orly Street?"

"Yes."

"Isn't Orly Street near here?"

"The rent over there is cheaper, and the road is not very congested, so it's okay to drive to and from get off work."

"What car does he drive?"

"An old white Nissan Teana, almost catching up with your age."

Luke guessed, "Isn't his financial situation very good?"

"I think this is more like a living habit of his, which is more frugal and simpler."

"What's the license plate number?"

"8Ceb383."

"Has he had any trouble lately?"

"I am not very sure."

"Have you ever had a conflict with someone?"

The boss pursed his lips, but stopped talking.

"We just understand the situation. You don't have to bear any burden. The contents of the transcript will not be disclosed to the outside world."

"There is a man named Benjamin Naxi who often comes to the store to make trouble for him."

"Is there any grievance between them?"

"Before, Benjamin Naxi also worked in this store, but his working condition was very bad, and he often had problems at work, so I dismissed him.

Benjamin Nassi always felt that Santos Mending took his job and took his place.

Has always held a grudge against Santos Mending.

That guy has become an alcoholic and makes trouble every time he drinks, I think you should check him out. "

"Do you know the contact information and address of Benjamin Naxi?"

"Of course, he has worked here for several years before, and I would be happy to show it to you." The boss checked the employee records and handed the information of Benjamin Naxi to Luke.

"Thank you for your assistance." Luke handed the other party a business card, "You can contact me anytime you think of new clues."

"no problem."

Carus Ball sent Luke and the two of them out of the car repair shop.

Luke reported the situation to Susan, and then went to find Benjamin Nassi with David to find out the situation.

Half an hour later, the two arrived in a dilapidated community.

According to the address, I found Benjamin Naxi's house.

The fence of the yard has been completely rotten, and the surrounding environment is relatively poor. The yard is not big, and there are a lot of sundries and garbage piled up, more than half of which are wine bottles.

David walked to the door and knocked hard, "Boom..."

No one responded.

Luke called Benjamin Nassi's cell phone number, but he couldn't get through.

David spread his hands, "What should we do now?"

Luke glanced around, "Ask around the neighbors."

"OK, you go and inquire about the situation, I'll keep an eye on it here."

"Don't kick the door." Luke put down a sentence and asked the neighbors around him.

Luke knocked on several doors, but only two were occupied.

According to neighbors, Benjamin Naxi lives alone now and has not seen him for several days.

Later, Luke and David met, briefly explained the situation, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

David said subconsciously, "I feel that this person is a little suspicious, we should go in and have a look."

"We don't have a search warrant."

David wrinkled his nose, "I seem to smell blood."

"Come on, you are not a police dog."

"What I'm saying is true."

"Don't come here, I won't let you kick the door anyway, don't forget what you said about Marcus yesterday."

"I don't kick the door." After David finished speaking, he began to look around the door, as if looking for something.

Look at the window sill, pull back the worn carpet, lift up the flower pot, "Whoa, look what I found.

Many drunks hide a key by the door of their house. David shook the key in his hand, "Can I go in?" "

"Do you really smell blood?"

"This time it's true. As lapd, we are obliged to go in and check to ensure the personal safety of the citizens." David said solemnly, and then opened the door.

The moment he opened the door, Luke frowned slightly. He didn't know if it was something in his heart, but he also smelled a bloody smell.

Entering the house, this feeling becomes more and more obvious.

The living room was very messy, not because of rummaging through it, but because it hadn't been tidied up for a long time.

Luke walked in and saw a large black and red stain on the ground behind the sofa, and a bloody smell rushed straight to his nose.

Bloodstains stretched all the way to the toilet...

"fuck, there is really blood!"
