LA Detective

Chapter 181 Threatening Letter

Police Department.

Everyone returned to the police station one after another.

Summarize the case in the office area.

Susan hung up the phone, "I contacted the teacher at Betty's school, Betty didn't go to school today.

Amy Ma's mobile phone sent a message to the teacher asking for leave, so the school did not contact Betty's father.

Judging from the current situation, this case may not be a simple robbery, it is likely to be a case of burglary and kidnapping. "

The deputy team thought for a while and said, "Generally speaking, if it's a kidnapping case, the suspect will make a blackmail call immediately after the kidnapping is successful.

On the one hand, it is to let the family members raise money as soon as possible, and on the other hand, they are worried that the family members will call the police.

Nearly twelve hours have passed since the case, but Mr. Kenneth did not know about it, nor did he receive a blackmail call.

It's a bit out of the mold of a regular kidnapping case. "

"Don't forget, Betty doesn't just have one father." Susan said, looking at Jenny aside, "Have you contacted Betty's mother?"

"Yes. I have already rushed this way, and I think it should be here soon." Jenny nodded and added, "From the tone of her voice, it seems that she doesn't know about her daughter's kidnapping, and she is very anxious."

Luke asked, "Have you found out more about Amy Ma?"

Matthew said, "Her mobile phone number is currently out of contact. The last message was to Teacher Betty, and the last call was to Mark.

At present, there are not many valuable clues found. She immigrated from China, and there are very few official information, and no immediate family members can be found.

Only a white Toyota sedan with a license plate number of 7qeb332 was found under his name. "

After summarizing the clues, Luke began to recall the whole case.

Although the scene was checked and the reporter was questioned, the situation of the whole case is not clear.

The purpose of the suspect's crime is also unclear.

If it was a robbery, why did Amy Ma and Betty disappear?

If it was a kidnapping case, the scene was too messy, and the family members did not receive extortion calls.

Could it be that the real target of the suspect is not Betty, but Amy Ma?
Amy Ma has her own problems.

She pretends to be Mrs. Kenneth to hook up with the young white guy Mark, who is not a simple-minded person.

Although he made a record for Mark, Luke felt that he was not suspected.

But Mark wasn't necessarily the only one being duped.

There are other doubts about Amy Ma.

Like the expensive clothes and cosmetics found in her room.

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. If it weren't for these expensive clothes, Mark might not be so easily deceived.

Luke found a piece of clothing of the same style on the Internet, and it was worth more than fifteen hundred dollars, which was beyond the reach of ordinary nanny.

"Dong dong..."

The office door knocked, interrupting Luke's thoughts.

Red opened the door and walked in.

Behind him was a middle-aged Asian woman with capable demeanor, wearing a professional dress, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Betty.

Rhett cut to the chase, "Captain Susan, have you found Betty's whereabouts?"

"not yet."

Reid pointed to the Asian woman beside him, "This is Betty's mother, Ms. Li, who is also the deputy mayor of Los Angeles."

Jenny opened her mouth wide and muttered softly, "No wonder I feel a little familiar."

Xiao Hei's eyes also widened, obviously he didn't expect the victim to have such a relationship.

"My name is Mei Li. I'm Betty's mother. How is she doing now? I want to know about the progress of the case."

Susan nodded, "Please follow me to the conference room.

Luke, you come in too. "

Afterwards, Luke, Susan, Reid, and Li Mei entered the meeting room.

As soon as she entered the meeting room, Li Mei couldn't wait to ask, "Is Betty missing? What's going on?"

Luke briefly described the circumstances of the case.

Li Mei shook her head and sighed, "Damn it, how could such a terrible thing happen."

Luke said, "Ms. Li, I can understand your feelings, but the situation is more urgent now, and we need to make a record for you."

Li Mei took a deep breath to calm down her emotions, "OK, you can ask."

Luke cut to the chase, "Have you received a blackmail call?"

"No. I didn't know what happened to Betty when you guys called. It was horrible and I felt guilty that I wasn't a good mother."

"When did you and your husband divorce?"

"It's been more than a year. Does it have anything to do with the case?"

"We need to learn as much as possible about the situation so that we can find a breakthrough in the case as soon as possible."

Li Mei nodded, "Go ahead and ask."

"Why did you and your husband divorce?"

"Emotional discord."

"Is there a third party?"

"No, both of us have a strong sense of professionalism. We put too much energy into our careers, and we are unwilling to make concessions to each other, so we finally reached this point.

But our relationship is not bad, it is a relatively peaceful divorce. "

"Do you have only one daughter, Betty?"

"yes.

"As far as I know, most divorced children will follow their mothers. Did you voluntarily give up custody?"

"Yes, my work is too busy, busier than my husband. So...

I regret it, I really regret it.If Betty had followed me, this might not have happened.

If... I will renew the custody fight. "

Luke wrote down in his notebook that if he wanted to fight for custody, he had a motive.

"Where were you last night between nine and twelve?"

"I was interviewed by a news column from nine to ten o'clock, and then went to a friend's party. I got home after twelve o'clock."

"What party, can anyone prove it?"

"Frank was there at the time, you can ask him if you don't believe me.

I won't lie about this kind of issue, you don't need to doubt me, I hope to find my daughter sooner than anyone else.

Don't put your energy on me, and go to investigate other clues. "

Luke is not satisfied with this answer, what do you mean Frank is there?
What the fuck can I call Frank to check?
Who is idle looking for excitement.

"Are you close to Betty?"

Li Mei sighed, "I love her, but I seldom spend time with her, so..."

"That is to say, you don't communicate often, and you don't know her recent situation?"

"Yes, I am not a qualified mother, I feel very guilty, very guilty."

"Do you know Amy Ma?"

"Before Kenneth and I divorced, she was already Betty's nanny. She is not bad, she is more conscientious, and she can cook.

Betty has Asian descent, but she rarely comes into contact with Asians, so I also hope that through this way, Betty can learn more about Asian culture.

where is amy horse
Was Betty missing something to do with her? "

"It's not clear yet, we are investigating." Luke responded, and changed the topic, "How is the financial situation of you and your ex-husband, Mr. Kenneth?"

"It's not bad. My ex-husband is not only a university teacher, but also an external consultant for a biological experiment company. His salary is higher than mine."

"How much is Amy Ma's monthly salary?"

"About five thousand dollars."

Although this salary is not low, it is obviously not enough to support Amy Ma to buy expensive clothes.

"If, I mean if, Betty is kidnapped, do you have anyone to suspect?"

Li Mei took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice, "Some time ago, I received a 'threatening email'.

The content is, immediately resign as deputy mayor, otherwise, get ready to say goodbye to your daughter.

After receiving this threatening email, I was also a little worried, so I quickly contacted Betty.

He relaxed when he saw that she was fine.

I thought it was a prank or a little trick to scare people, so I didn't take it too seriously.

Thinking about it now, Betty's disappearance is probably related to that threatening email. "

Luke asked, "Since I received a threatening email, why didn't I call the police at that time?"

Li Mei said helplessly, "At that time, I had just accepted the post of deputy mayor, and there were too many things to attend to.

I thought it was a small ploy by political enemies to distract me.

If work is delayed because of this incident, my situation will be very passive.

So, I chose to ignore it.

After a while, I almost forgot, I didn't expect...

Everyone, please find my daughter. If there is anything I need to do, just ask. "

Susan said, "If the kidnapper asks for a ransom, they must tell us as soon as possible."

"I will."

Susan also asked a few questions, but Li Mei didn't know much about her daughter and didn't provide any valuable clues.

The transcript is over.

Li Mei begged again, she must save her daughter.

Reid sent Li Mei out of the office, and not long after, Reid went and returned.

Close the door of the office, "Guys, you should know the importance of this case, the blackmail case is different from other cases.

Other cases require only the arrest of the suspect, and it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later.

But the kidnapping case has the victim's life at stake.

Therefore, it is important to solve the case, and it is even more important to rescue the victim Betty. "

Reid left after repeated urgings.

There is no such thing as equality for everyone. Police patrols vary in different communities in the United States.

What's more, it was the deputy mayor's daughter who was kidnapped.

It matters.

Of course, if Betty can be successfully rescued, huge benefits can also be obtained.

　Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!
