LA Detective

Chapter 119 Confession (addition 712)

Linda's house.

Luke's newly rented house is not far from his mother's house, only a ten-minute drive away.

After get off work, I received a call from the little fat man, saying that he had something to look for and asked him to go home for dinner.

Ask him what's the matter, the little fat man is mysterious and refuses to say.

The Mercedes-Benz G500 drove into the Yinuo community, attracting the attention of many neighbors.

Luke has gotten into trouble a lot since he grew up, and he often makes Linda upset. This time, it can be regarded as indirectly helping Linda improve his face.

It doesn't matter which country is the same, it is human nature.

Because of the investigation, Luke came back a little later. After entering the door, Linda had already prepared dinner.

Pan-fried lamb chops, grilled salmon, steamed potatoes, vegetable salad, and big Lieba are all Luke's favorite foods.

Luke swallowed, "Dear Mom, thank you for the great dinner."

The little fat man was a little dissatisfied, "That's right, my mother is becoming more and more eccentric, and I don't agree if I want to eat French fries."

"For your own good, did I know how high the calories of French fries are? If you are too fat, you will be discriminated against at school." Linda would not admit that she favored the eldest son.

Luke washed his hands and took the initiative to take on the task of sharing meals. At first he was not used to it, but after a long time, he felt that sharing meals was quite good.

Salmon and mutton are his favorites, so you can have more.

"We can go fishing when we have time, and cook and eat when we catch it. That's real seafood."

"Wow... that sounds great, can I bring my friends along?" the little fat man looked expectant.

"Of course, dear brother, I have no reason not to satisfy your little wish."

"Super cool dude, I love you more and more."

Linda broke off a piece of big Liba, "Since when did your brothers become so nasty."

Luke took a bite of the tender and juicy lamb chops, "Jack, didn't you say that there is something wrong with me coming back? What's the matter?"

The little fat man hesitated to speak, "Ah... Actually, it's nothing, I just miss you."

Linda looked at her younger son, "You're a little abnormal, did you make a mistake? I know you too well, you only look like this when you make a mistake."

"Is it obvious?"

"Not obvious, but you are my son."

"OK, I do have something to do..." The little fat man mustered up his courage, "I...I'm in a relationship..."

"What?" Linda thought she had heard wrong.

"Yes, I have a girlfriend."

"Cool." Luke pretended to hear it for the first time.

Linda was stunned for a while, expressionless, "When did it happen?"

"Just a while ago. Now that the relationship has stabilized, I decided to tell everyone."

"You are only in the eighth grade now, I thought you would fall in love at least in the tenth grade..." Apparently, Linda was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

"Many of my classmates are dating, and some even started dating last year, don't you agree?"

"nonono... I don't disagree, it's just... Luke, what do you think?"

"I think you can invite her to play at home, and you can meet her too. Maybe she's a good girl."

"Yeah, I also want to invite her to be a guest, mom, is that okay?"

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with it." Linda squeezed out a smile, "Does your father know?"

"No, I want to tell you as soon as possible."

"You should have told him and listened to his opinion."

"OK, I will."

"Good." Linda got up, "Such good news, I should have a drink, I'll get the wine, Luke, would you like some?"

"OK." Luke nodded.

Linda got up to leave.

The little fat man breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "I was so nervous just now, I was afraid that my mother would disagree. If I knew that she had this attitude, I would have said it long ago."

Luke smiled noncommittally, "Why did you suddenly decide to tell mom?"

"Actually, it wasn't sudden. I've had this idea for a long time. You know, it's inconvenient to have an affair underground, and Maggie is also very worried about being discovered by her parents. Every time we leave school together, she feels a little uneasy.

I think this is not a long-term thing, we are in a relationship, this is our freedom, it should be aboveboard.

So, I decided to set an example by bringing Maggie to our house and opening up about the two of us.

I think it's better this way.

I really like her and want to be with her forever...

I did it. "

Luke nodded, "You did the right thing, what a man should do."

Linda came over with the red wine and sat down at the dining table, "Look at my memory... I forgot to take the corkscrew. Jack, can you help me? Thank you."

"where?"

"It seems to be in the living room on the second floor, you can find it."

"OK." The little fat man got up and left.

Linda whispered, "When did you know?"

"what?"

"Don't play dumb, Jack is talking about love."

"Didn't he just say that?"

"Don't fool me, you must have already known."

"I don't know." Luke wouldn't admit it.

"It's not convenient for me to ask more about this matter. Children of this age are prone to rebellious psychology... You are his elder brother, and you can give him some good advice."

"Of course I will."

"OK, Jack has also grown up. Generally speaking, I am very pleased."

"When will you bring the female lawyer back as a guest, I really want to see her."

"You know, my job is busier than Price, and she is busier...so."

"Come on, work is all an excuse, I'm from here, you can't lie to me."

"Maybe she felt the timing wasn't right."

At this moment, the little fat man came down with a flattering expression, "I found the bottle opener, mom, can I have some red wine, just a little."

"No, don't even think about it."

Luke opened the red wine cork, poured a glass of red wine for his mother, poured a glass for himself, and the little fat man got a box of orange juice.

The three clinked glasses, and Linda took a sip, "By the way, I heard something happened to Lucas."

"How did you know?"

"I read it on the news, is it true?"

"Yes, he's dead."

"How did you die?"

"It's inconvenient for me to say too much about the one who was killed."

"You are also investigating this case."

"Yeah, I also met his wife today."

"Wow...too bad I've seen his movies before..."

Luke answered quickly, "I know, Special Warfare, I can almost hear calluses today."

Linda raised her eyebrows, "No, it's not special warfare, I don't like that type of movie.

We watched Brazil in Love, and we watched it with your father.

Lucas was very handsome at the time, I just praised a few words, your father became jealous, and even specially cut a hairstyle like Lucas...

Thinking about it now, it’s really fast, things are different..."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Luke's mother seldom pays attention to the entertainment industry, but now even she knows that Lucas is dead, which shows how quickly and widely this matter has spread.

There might even be a film crew behind it, Luke senses.

"Mom, if Lucas's new movie comes out, will you watch it?"

Linda thought about it, "Of course, I'll go, even if it's to see off an old friend I haven't met, but isn't he dead? Can it still be shown?"

The little fat man said, "What's the problem? Isn't Paul from Fast and Furious 10 dead? Instead, the movie sold well. Now Fast and Furious [-] is available.

Vin Diesel has made a lot of money. "

Luke also guessed before that Lucas' death might bring some publicity effect to the movie, but he is not from the entertainment industry after all, so he doesn't know how obvious the publicity effect is.

Now it seems that Lucas' death may make the movie a hit, which involves huge interests, enough to make people risk killing people.

……

The next morning.

The missing lover's supporting actor, Andal Ander, and the perpetrator, Ada Fehr, were invited to the police station.

The reason for asking is because the police have no evidence of their involvement in the crime and just ask them for a routine questioning.

Under the arrangement of the police, the two met by chance, and were led by different police officers in the same corridor.

Luke and others watched from behind the glass window.

If you know each other, there will definitely be eye contact, or surprise, or surprise without connecting in advance.

However, when the two walked by, Luke didn't see any meeting of their eyes.

From Luke's experience, there are three possibilities.

The first possibility is that the two confessed in advance and pretended that they didn't know each other, because they had greeted each other before, so they wouldn't be too surprised or surprised.

The second possibility is that the two people did not meet directly, and the transaction was completed through an intermediary.

The third possibility is that the two people really have no intersection, and Andal Ander is not the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Among these three possibilities, Luke thinks that the first possibility is not likely, because nearly four months have passed in this case, and it is unlikely that the two people will collude again.

As for whether it is the second or third, you will know after a while.

Luke and Xiao Hei are responsible for dealing with the perpetrator Ida Fell.

Ada Fell is an African-American woman in her 30s, and Jenny brought her into the lounge first.

Luke asked Xiao Hei to arrange the meeting room, and he was going to talk to the other party in the meeting room later.

The so-called layout is also very simple, that is, there are a few photos of the people involved in the case next to the conference table, and some words written in Chinese that the other party can't understand, but there is no photo of Lucas, if Ida Fell sees There is a reaction to the photo, indicating that her employer may be among them.

If there is no response, it means that the person involved is not suspected or has passed through a middleman.

Soon Ida Fell was brought into the meeting room.

She visibly froze when she saw the photo on the whiteboard.

Then he quickly turned his head aside.

From Luke's experience, she should have recognized the person in the photo.

There are a total of five photos on the whiteboard, producer, director, assistant director, supporting actor, and leading actress.

Among them, the supporting actor can be eliminated first, because Ida Fell didn't respond when he saw him just now.

The producer and director can also be eliminated, because these two have the right to decide the role. If they didn't want Lucas to play the leading role at that time, Lucas didn't have that opportunity at all.

Naturally, there was no need for these two to use inferior means.

Then the remaining people are the assistant director Klapo Hino and the heroine of the movie Courtney Bass.

As for who these two people are?It's hard to tell.

Because both of them have certain suspicions.

The assistant director is the informant, and he found the body before the police arrived, and sometimes the informant may also be a suspect.

The heroine Courtney Bass and Lucas have been rumored to have an affair. Once there is emotional entanglement, the result is hard to say.

Therefore, it is difficult to rule out these two people.

At this time, if you choose one of them to test, you will be 50.00% sure. If you take the wrong photo, it will be difficult to bluff Ida Phil.

If Ada Fell found out that the police were unable to identify the employer, she would probably bite the confession to death.

Luke has worked as a criminal police officer in China for so many years. Although his marksmanship is average, his interrogation skills are still good.

He directly picked up the photo of the heroine Courtney Bass, "Ms. Ida Fell, do you know her?"

Ada Fell glanced at it, shook her head, "I don't know."

"Yesterday we interrogated Krapo Shino. He admitted that the woman in the photo is your accomplice. Afterwards, he identified you."

The method used by Luke is very simple, which is to describe the heroine Courtney Bass and the assistant director Clapo Shino as accomplices, so that it becomes a primary and secondary issue, rather than right or wrong.

Ada Fell shook her head, "I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't know Klapo Shino either."

Luke took off the photo of assistant director Klapo Shino from the whiteboard, "You don't know his name, you should have seen someone from him."

A look of panic flashed across Ada Fell's face, she lowered her head, "I don't know him."

"And do you know Lucas?"

"Yes, I accidentally ran into him four months ago and he's a good guy who didn't hold me accountable. I'm grateful, he's a good guy."

"But he died."

"It has nothing to do with me."

"His death may have nothing to do with you, but what about the car accident four months ago? They have already identified you, and the current situation is not good for you."

Ada Phil's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but he still didn't force himself to speak.

Luke continued, "Not long after you injured Lucas, you deposited [-] dollars in your account. This money is the employment money they gave you."

Matthew checked Ida Fell's financial situation and found that her financial situation has been very poor. It has improved since four months ago, and she has a large deposit of [-] US dollars. This is why Luke felt that the traffic accident The reason for the problem.

Luke sighed, and said earnestly, "Ida Fell, I know you, I know your past, you are a person who follows the rules, and you don't even have a speeding ticket.

I know you're having a hard time with two kids to support but you shouldn't improve in this way, it's a bad example.

"If you are willing to assist the police, I am also willing to help you, reducing your sentence or even exempting you from punishment. Otherwise, the police can only accept the testimony of Klapo Shino.

It will be bad for you then.

They may even turn black and white and say that you are the mastermind of the case, and you may face major criminal prosecution at that time..."

Ida Fell raised her head, choked up and said, "No, I'm not the mastermind, it was Crapo Shino who hired me to hurt Lucas.

I really need that money, my child has autism and has to go to special education, the tuition is very expensive...sorry..."
