LA Detective

Chapter 163 Vampire Queen

Nine p.m.

Police station, interrogation room.

August Tokar was handcuffed to the interrogation chair.

Xiao Hei smiled, "Mr. Vampire, do you like this place?"

Augustus glared at Xiao Hei, "I don't want to talk to liars."

"Hey..." Xiao Hei laughed cheaply.

Luke asked, "Augus, do you know why you were arrested?"

"I... probably know that I drank a little that night and planned to make a little joke, but it was a bit too much."

"What night?"

"On the evening of June 6st."

Luke turned his pen habitually, "You call that a little joke?"

"I admit that it's a bit too much. I am willing to compensate and apologize to her face to face, hoping to get her forgiveness."

Luke pulled out a picture of Nicole, "Did you mean her?"

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"What did you do to her?"

"I bit her and freaked her out. I didn't expect that, the braces were so sharp, and the vibe made it easy to feel like a vampire.

If you've been to that bar, you'll understand. "

"Have you bitten anyone else?"

"No, it was the first time that night. To be honest, it didn't feel very good. It was crazy. I feel very sorry for that woman. How is she doing now?"

Luke asked back, "You didn't see your arrest warrant?"

Augustus glared at Xiao Hei, "I was also frightened by a black...colored vampire. I didn't pay much attention to it."

The little black said, "Did you mean to say nigger just now?"

"No, black vampire." Augustus felt guilty, "I don't want to talk about this topic anymore.

What charges are you arresting me for?Injury?
Luke didn't answer the question, "You first describe the crime process."

Augustus froze for a moment, as if he felt something was wrong, "What charges are you arresting me for? If you don't say it, I won't say it either."

"Intentional Homicide."

"What? Are you kidding me! How could I kill someone? I just bit her. The wound was not deep at all. How could she die?"

Luke said, "She was scared to death."

"I bought it, are you guys joking? How can people be scared to death?"

Xiao Heidao, "It's already past nine o'clock, we don't sleep in a comfortable bed, but play jokes here with you, a fake vampire, do you think it's possible?"

"I bought it, I bought it, how did this happen? She didn't die at all, she just passed out." Augustus kept shaking his head.

Xiao Hei corrected, "You thought she was fainted by fright, but she was actually frightened to death."

"No, people can't be scared to death, I won't believe it. Don't try to frame me." Augustus became more and more emotional.

Luke took out a photo of Nicole after her death, "See for yourself, have we lied to you."

Augustus took a look, showing a look of horror, "nonono, how could this be possible.

It's none of my business.

She just passed out, not dead at all.

Someone must have killed her after I left.

It must be like this, someone must be trying to frame me! "

Luke took advantage of the situation and asked, "Who is going to frame you?"

Augustus's voice trembled, "I don't know, but there must be such a person, I can't kill anyone!"

Luke said, "From the existing evidence, the victim was scared to death by you.

If you feel someone is setting you up, show the evidence. "

"I don't know. I'm not a police officer. Isn't it your police's duty to investigate cases? Why do you ask me to take evidence.

I have to pay taxes.

You can't do this to me. Augustus took a deep breath, as if remembering something, "Is the victim really dead?" "

"Yes."

"Since she is dead and she can't speak, how can I prove that I was scared to death?" The more Augustus said, the more confident he became, "You are mistaken, I am not the murderer, I just made a little joke .”

"You're right, it was indeed just a little joke. It's just that your little joke just happened to be filmed." Luke took out another screenshot of the video of Augustus committing the crime and put it in front of him.

"I bought it..." Augustus was stunned again when he saw the video, with a complicated expression on his face, frightened, surprised, and confused.

"I need to see a lawyer."

……

"Bang" the door of the interrogation room.

Xiao Hei complained, "Whoever has the time to help him call a lawyer, it's already ten o'clock in the evening.

Shall we spend the night with him.

I can assure you that he is the murderer. "

Luke patted him on the shoulder, "Go back to sleep.

Wait for the results of the tooth mark identification to come out tomorrow, and then take him down in one go. "

"Good idea." Xiao Hei smiled and rolled his eyes, "By the way, can I stay at your house today?"

Luke smiled, "My bed is too hard, you can't sleep well."

What a joke, he won't take in a man.

……

Police station, break room.

It was past eight o'clock in the morning.

"what……"

Xiao Hei yawned, and slowly sat up from the sofa, "Damn the sofa, it's so uncomfortable to sleep on."

Last night, Xiao Hei didn't go home and slept in the lounge.

The sofa was very soft, but he was not used to sleeping on it.

uncomfortable.

Tossing and turning did not fall asleep until midnight.

Xiao Hei left the waiting room, and Lei Meng and the deputy team had already arrived.

"Guys, good morning." Xiao Hei greeted and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up.

The deputy team frowned, "Why did you come out of the lounge? You didn't go home."

Xiao Hei nodded, "It was too late to investigate the case last night, so I didn't go back."

The deputy team shook his head, "This doesn't look like your boy...you broke up with your girlfriend?"

"Boring old man." Xiao Hei shook his head and went to wash up.

"Hey..." After leaving the door, he couldn't help sighing, and muttered, "Why do you have to get married, isn't it good to fall in love?
Why? "

Xiao Hei looked distressed, and after washing his face with cold water, he became more refreshed.

When I returned to the office, I found that there were a few more people in the office, including a nasty white man in a suit, "Wow... this is not Barrister Porter, why are you here?"

When investigating the murder of an actress before, Porter served as a lawyer for the murderer Boris.

"Detective Marcus, nice to meet you, I am now August Toka's lawyer."

"Why you again?"

Potter asked, "Why are you investigating this case again?"

"This is the Department of Robbery and Murder. We are responsible for investigating murder cases. Is there a problem?"

"No, I am a professional criminal lawyer, and I happen to be well-known in this field. Everyone is willing to believe me. So, we will meet often in the future."

Potter waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm going to meet the client, see you later."

Watching the other party out of the office, Xiao Hei shook his head, "This guy is so fake, he actually smiled at me."

The deputy team said seriously, "I think his smile is from the heart, and he really wants to see you."

Xiao Hei pouted, "What do you mean? Does he have any special hobbies?"

The deputy team explained, "He is a lawyer, and being able to come here means that he has received a big case and a lot of money is waving to him, how could he be unhappy.

I have seen this kind of lawyer a lot, and they are really happy to meet me.

More true than my previous wives. "

Xiao Hei asked, "Is your relationship with your ex-wife okay?"

The deputy team showed a strange look, "Do you know why I refuse to retire at such an age?"

"To avoid them?"

"No, we seldom see each other again, I will understand when you get divorced.

Of course, I hope you never get divorced. "

Xiao Hei curled his lips, "Old man playing tricks."

Luke handed Xiao Hei a burger, "Your."

"Thank you." Xiao Hei took a sip of his coffee and ate his hamburger.

"You don't intend to live in the lounge all the time, do you?"

Xiao Hei asked back, "You want to take me in?"

"Don't even think about it." Luke refused simply.

"Squeak..."

The door of the office opened, and Susan walked in from the outside.

"Everyone, there is a new case."

The deputy team reminded, "The vampire case is not over yet, why did you arrange a new case for us?"

"This case is also related to vampires." Susan responded and briefly introduced, "The victim's name is Angela Char, a female rock singer, who was found dead in the dressing room this morning.

Two blood holes were found on the left side of the neck.

The informant was her agent.

That's all we know now, so get ready, we're going to show up. "

Xiao Hei finished his hamburger in six mouthfuls, took a sip of coffee and said, "Didn't we already catch the suspect Augustus Toka? Why are there new victims?"

Susan nodded, "That's what we're looking for."

The deputy said, "What about August's case? His lawyer has arrived."

Susan said, "The deputy team and Raymond stayed and continued to interrogate Augustus.

Others follow me to the scene. "

……

ten o'clock in the morning.

Luke and his party rushed to Kamala Bar.

This bar is bigger than Dracula's Bar.

The decor is also more modern, not specifically a vampire themed bar.

However, the bar is also decorated with a lot of vampire elements, such as vampire posters, crosses, and a large coffin on the stage.

Compared with Dracula's Bar, this place is more like a temporary arrangement, not as refined as Dracula's Bar; more rough, profiteering, blood stars, more direct, and more impactful.

If the Dracula Bar is a relatively pure vampire, then here is a bit of a vampire plus zombie feeling.

Xiao Hei pointed to a poster of a female vampire, "Hey, I've seen this woman...

I remembered.

No wonder the name of the victim, Angela Charle, seemed familiar to me. I had heard her rock songs before. "

Luke asked, "How does it feel?"

"I don't listen to much, her music is very special, it's not pure rock and roll, it adds a lot of vampire elements, it's more blood star, horror, and profiteering.

It should be regarded as niche music.

I don't really like it, but some of my friends do, and call her the 'Queen of Vampires'. "

"OK, let me go and see that vampire queen." Through the bar lobby, a group of people entered the backstage dressing room.

The police had cordoned off the area. The dressing room was small, only about [-] to [-] square meters. There was a huge mirror, a few swivel chairs, a cabinet against the wall, a tea table and a row of sofas.

A woman collapsed on the open space between the mirror and the coffee table.

This is a Caucasian woman with red hair, pale cheeks, blood red lips, black eye shadow, two blood holes and tooth marks on her white neck, and a pool of blood on the ground.

The woman is wearing a black one-piece skirt and black stockings, very sexy.

There was also a pair of blood red high heels under her feet.

The whole picture looks a little weird.

Xiao Hei inspected it carefully and said with emotion, "The vampire queen was bitten to death by a vampire!

It's incredible! "

After Luke checked the body, he looked at the situation in the house, which was very messy.

All kinds of clothes, it looks like costumes.

There is also a bottle of red wine and whiskey on the coffee table.

Combined with the strong smell of alcohol on the deceased, she should have drunk a lot of alcohol before she died.

When the forensic doctor and the investigation team entered the dressing room, the dressing room suddenly seemed narrow, and Luke and others were kicked out.

A fat white man came over and looked into the dressing room.

Blackie yelled, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"I'm Angela Char's agent."

Luke took a look at the other party, he was not tall, very fat, with curly hair, "Are you the informant?"

"Yes."

"What's your name?"

"Kim Cadara."

"I'm Inspector Luke." Luke flashed his police badge, "Are you the first to find the dead body?"

"Yes."

"We want to make a note for you."

"No problem. Angela is like my family, and I hope to catch the murderer as soon as possible."

"Good." Luke turned on the body camera and asked, "Since you are her manager, you should know her situation very well."

"Her itinerary is all arranged by me."

"Why was she here last night?"

"Angela is about to release a new album. A promotional party was held here last night. Many fans and music critics came. It was a small album release."

"What's the name of the new album?"

"Immortality."

Xiao Hei praised, "The name is good."

Manager Kim said, "Thank you, I chose the name, and of course Angela is also very satisfied."

After hearing the name, Luke knew that it might have something to do with vampires, "Did the album songs be sung at the party last night?"

"some."

"There should be a video, right?"

"Yes, I'll get it."

Not long after, manager Kim came over with a tablet, clicked on a video, and introduced, "This is the live recording last night."

When the video started, the stage was pitch black, and only silver light sticks could be seen shaking in the auditorium.

Then, the lights hit the stage.

The lights are not particularly bright, but have a reddish glow, which adds a bit of a weird atmosphere.

Suddenly, there was a scream from the audience.

All I saw was a coffin slowly hanging down above the stage.

"Matt Butterfark squid...how did this happen?" Xiao Hei's eyes widened, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Manager Kim replied, "There are steel wires hanging around the coffin, which are very thin and difficult to spot in dim light.

It's barely noticeable in the video.

my thoughts. "

The coffin fell to the ground.

There was a long silence.

The cheers in the audience became more intense.

"puff!"

"puff!"

With two bangs, the lid of the coffin cracked, and it was thrown directly into the air, falling to the ground.

Several bats flew out of the coffin.

It caused another exclamation from the surroundings.

Two white hands protruded from the coffin, with scarlet long nails that were very scary.

"boom!"

A red-haired woman sprang out of the coffin, turned her back to the audience, and slowly turned her head, with a white side face, blood-red lips, and sharp fangs.

Like a real vampire.

"Wow..." Xiao Hei looked very engrossed.

Kim nodded, "I designed it."

Then, there was a blast of rock music.

"When I wandered around the corner of your house...

Hoping my pale complexion doesn't give away my disguise...

Are you willing to separate from the human race just tonight?
Our steadfast love shall last forever...

When blood pours into the soul...

you!
Will be my first hug. "

Kim reminded in a low voice, "This song is called 'First Embrace', and it is also the title song of the album."

After Luke listened to it, he had only one feeling, this song is so weird, normal people must not be able to appreciate it.

Luke took the tablet from Kim's hand and put it in Xiao Hei's hand, "Look at this first, let's take notes."

Kim pointed with her finger, "I... my tablet."

Luke said, "The last image of the deceased before his death is also a piece of evidence, and it will be kept by the police first."

Kim said, "This is very precious and meaningful to me. I hope you will not destroy it."

"No one dares to destroy the evidence, and it will be returned to you after the case is solved." Luke responded, and changed the topic, "When did you find the dead body?"

"I have been unable to contact Angela. I went to her house and there was no one there. Then I thought that she might be drunk and sleeping in the dressing room of the bar, so I asked the bar staff to open the door, and found... Angela's body .

To be honest, it is hard for me to accept it, and I still don't want to believe it. "

"Is your relationship good?"

"Yes, we have worked together for many years and are best friends, more like family."

"Tell me about last night."

"Last night, the show started at ten o'clock and ended around one o'clock in the morning.

Angela was a little tired and said she wanted to rest for a while before going home.

I disagreed at first, I wanted to send her home.

But she said no, let me go first. "

"Were you the last to see her?"

"I don't know either, but she really doesn't have any plans after the performance."

Luke thought for a while, "Why is the show so late?"

“It’s much better around the wee hours of the morning than at [-]pm to add to the vibe.

You should know that a vampire-themed album needs a horror atmosphere. "

Luke asked, "Does Angela have any enemies?"

"No, she is a very easy person to get along with."

"Has she ever been attacked like this?"

"How should I put it? Angela has a lot of fans, and these fans adore vampires, and sometimes they will inevitably have some outrageous actions.

I remember one show where a male fan ran onto the stage wearing a vampire mask and no clothes, and he hugged Angela and scared her too. "

"Is there anyone suspicious recently?"

Kim thought for a while, "No."

"Is there anything unusual about Angela?"

"Not found."

Luke stared at Kim and asked, "Do you believe in vampires?"

Kim said without hesitation, "Of course, I believe it. The world is too big. It's normal to have some mysterious creatures in the long river of history, isn't it?"

"Come here first today, thank you." Luke handed the other party a business card, "If you think of any clues, you can contact me directly."

"I will." Kim sighed and said sadly, "Inspector Luke, the case investigation has progressed, I hope you will also inform me.

I care about Angela, she means a lot to me. "

Mary from the survey team walked out of the dressing room, "Everyone, we have initially completed the on-site survey."

The crowd gathered around.

Maggie continued, "The situation at the scene is a bit complicated and messy, there are many biological samples and traces, this is a shared dressing room, it is difficult to distinguish which ones are related to the murderer.

We're going back for further analysis.

However, it can be determined that this is the first scene, and the blood should belong to the deceased himself.

We found a red backpack on the sofa, which contained some IDs and mobile phones of the deceased, which can basically determine the identity of the deceased.

In addition, we also found a business card in the backpack that did not belong to the deceased, which may be helpful to you. "Mary took out a transparent plastic bag, which contained a white business card.

Luke glanced at the business card and frowned slightly. It said on the business card,

Kervis Law Firm
Attorney, Daisy Miller
　Today I am sorting out the follow-up outline of the case.

　　In order to avoid affecting the subsequent plot.

　　Today it's one more five thousand.

　　Be steady.
