LA Detective

Chapter 190 Playing
"Woooo..."

Li Mei and Brown also rushed to Wang Chao's house.

The former "family of three" hugged and cried together.

Brown, the father, was more excited than Li Mei, and cried the loudest, holding his daughter tightly all the time, Luke felt that Betty's neck was about to be strangled.

With red eyes, Li Mei patted her daughter's back, comforting her in a low voice.

Rhett came over and patted Luke on the shoulder, "Good job. You handled it decisively this time and rescued Betty and Amy Ma in time.

I will help you to claim credit. "

"Thank you." Luke said modestly, "It's all thanks to everyone, you are a good leader.

I'm just lucky, plus some of my own judgment. "

Rhett said, "Luck is also a kind of strength."

Luke agrees more with Rhett's words. Luck is luck. People have to rely on their own luck to live. Some things seem to be coincidences, but they actually conform to certain objective laws, but this law is not obvious.

Just like buying a lottery ticket, why do some people win the lottery?

lucky?
Luke thinks there are two possibilities. First of all, you have to buy it every day and be prepared at all times. Although the chances are extremely small, it is only possible to win if you buy it.

The second possibility...is more complicated.

Ordinary people can't envy you, let alone be jealous, it's useless if you get angry and hurt your body.

Before the Detective System, Luke never bought this thing. At that time, he was just an ordinary person. He didn't have much spare money to buy it every day, and he didn't have such good luck.

After the first family of three finished crying, Brown led his daughter to Luke, "Deputy Luke, thank you for saving my daughter, I really don't know what to say.

If I didn't meet you at the bar, I don't know what stupid thing I would do, and I don't know what would happen...

You not only saved Betty, you saved me too.

I... really don't know how to express it. "

Luke waved his hand, "I am a policeman, this is my duty, even if the kidnapped person is not Betty, I will do my best to rescue him.

relax.

You're a good father, just...in the wrong way.

I hope you will have more trust in the police in the future.Especially our Robbery and Murder Division. "

"I will." Brown replied with a serious face, and shook hands with Luke vigorously.

On the side, Betty showed a grateful look, "Lieutenant Luke, thank you for saving me."

Luke patted her head, "You're welcome, I'm glad I could save you, too."

Betty blinked her big eyes, showing a look of expectation, and asked in Chinese, "Can I see you in the future?"

Luke smiled, "It's unlikely, why ask?"

"I was terrified in the burrow, crying all the time, thinking I was going to die and never see my parents again.

The burrow suddenly opened and a beam of light came in. I saw you coming down from above...

I was... happy, excited, excited...

I can't describe in words how I felt at that time.

You untied me and made me feel really safe.

This is not a thank you can express.

I hope to see you again, you are a ray of sunshine in my life..."

Hearing Betty's words, Luke was also a little touched, and wanted to give Betty a business card and tell her that he could contact him if he had anything to do.

But... In the end, he didn't do that, he comforted softly, "Betty, you are safe.

I will catch the villain who kidnapped you and send him to prison.

Don't be afraid, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you must speak up if you have something to say.

Your father and mother love you very much.

If you are in danger again, call 911 immediately.”

Betty nodded, "I remember."

Li Mei also came over and shook hands with Luke, "Deputy Captain Li, thank you for everything you have done."

"You're welcome, it's your duty."

"You are a good policeman. I envy Frank to have such a good helper like you."

Luke quipped, "You should tell him that yourself."

"I will."

After a brief chat, the three of Li Mei left.

Xiao Hei said, "Why didn't you give Betty a business card? You saved her.

It can be heard that she is very insecure now, she trusts you, and you can just help her out. "

"I'm not you." Luke is not saying that Xiao Hei is bad, but that everyone has a different personality and a different way of doing things.

Just like Xiao Hei and Jaden, Xiao Hei has already regarded helping Jaden as a responsibility, which is very good, which shows that Xiao Hei is very kind, but this kind of unilateral contribution will be very tiring.

Luke is a more rational person, and it is difficult to be the same as Xiao Hei.

As for helping Betty, whether it can shorten the relationship with Li Mei.

Luke feels that the relationship between him and Li Mei at this stage is just right, neither far nor close.

He saved Betty, and Li Mei would definitely be grateful, and if she could help Luke, she would definitely not stand idly by.

This is enough.

What do you expect others to do?
No matter how good your relationship with someone's daughter is, they can't directly give you a promotion.

Besides, if Li Mei can become the deputy mayor, it may not be a good thing if she is too shrewd.

Counting on this matter to call others sisters and brothers.

Maybe people will really appreciate you at the beginning, but after a long time, the taste may change.

Luke and Li Mei are not in the same circle now, and they can only chat awkwardly when they sit together.

It is not as good as the friendship between gentlemen, which is as light as water, and the water flows slowly.

The hostages were rescued and the scene was taken over by the survey team.

But the case is not over and the suspect has not been caught yet.

The Robbery and Murder Division can't let up.

Susan rearranged the task, and everyone separately investigated the suspect's whereabouts.

Luke and Xiao Hei are responsible for interrogating Amy Ma, also known as 'Mrs. Kenneth'.

When Luke and Xiao Hei found Amy Ma, she stood up and thanked, "Deputy Luke, thank you for saving me."

She looked at Xiao Hei again, "And this detective, you are all my saviors."

Xiao Hei reminded, "My name is Marcus, Detective Marcus. Although I'm not a detective yet, I believe I will be soon."

Luke said, "How's your wound?"

"The wound on my arm has been re-bandaged, and my body is fine." After Betty and Amy Ma were captured by the kidnappers, they did not suffer any abuse, but the daily food intake was relatively small, and there were some minor deficiencies. water symptoms.

"We need to make a record for you and ask some questions about the kidnappers."

"No problem, you can ask, I also hope to catch the kidnapper soon, otherwise, I can't sleep well."

Luke cut to the chase, "Do you know the kidnapper?"

"No, they are all wearing headgear, I didn't see their faces clearly."

"What kind of headgear?"

"Black stockings." Amy Ma finished, and added, "However, they give me the impression that they should be Asian."

"If you think about it again, you really don't know them?"

"do not know."

"Tell me what happened."

Amy Ma let out a long sigh and frowned, as if unwilling to recall.

After a while, he said, "It was after ten o'clock in the evening on the 19th, and Betty had gone back to her room to sleep.

Then, I also prepare to wash and go to bed.

When I came out of the toilet, I saw two strange men and women standing outside.

They had guns in their hands and I freaked out and they tied me up and then went upstairs and took Betty hostage.

Afterwards, I began to ask where the family's money was. I told them that I was just a nanny, and I didn't know where the family's belongings were.

They didn't believe it, and the man started hitting me and scratching my arm.

They let me go only after Betty testified for me.

The man started questioning Betty again, but Betty didn't know either.

Fortunately, their conscience was still alive and they did not do anything to Betty.

After that, the man took care of us, and the woman started to rummage through the boxes to find valuables.

But Mr. Kenneth is a relatively simple person, all the money is in the bank, and there are no valuables at home. They couldn't get the money, so they kidnapped Betty and me.

They took Betty and me and made me drive in the front and they took Betty in the back.

On the way, I abandoned my car and replaced it with a black car.

We made a long detour to get here, and we've been locked in the hole ever since.

To be honest, I once thought I was going to die, and I was extremely desperate at that time.

Thank you, I cannot thank you enough. "

Luke asked, "Why did the kidnappers choose to kidnap you and Betty?"

"I don't know, and I dare not ask."

"How did they get into the house?"

"I was taking a shower at the time, and I could only hear the sound of splashing water, and I didn't notice the movement outside. Then I was kidnapped, and I was so frightened that I couldn't care less."

Luke wrote it down in his notebook and asked, "Who is Mrs. Kenneth?"

Amy Ma was a little embarrassed, "Uh...it's me."

"Why do you call yourself Mrs. Kenneth?"

Amy Ma's eyes flickered, she didn't dare to look at Luke and Xiao Hei, and said perfunctorily, "Maybe it's vanity."

"What kind of vanity, have you called yourself Mrs. Kenneth to anyone?"

"Actually, I just occasionally post a circle of friends to prove that I am doing well. I rarely tell others that I am Mrs. Kenneth."

Luke shook his head, "I'm afraid it's more than that. What's the relationship between you and the Modern Mom Confinement Center?"

Amy Ma was stunned for a moment, and replied, "I have a good relationship with their lady boss. They can be regarded as friends, and occasionally I will help them promote in the circle of friends."

"Amy Ma, if you are really grateful to us for saving you, don't lie to us." Luke sighed and continued,
"We have been to the Modern Mom Confinement Center and talked to the proprietress Zhang Wenyan.

I know that there is an interest relationship between you. If you advertise the confinement center in your circle of friends, you can get a lot of money as long as you recommend a customer for the confinement center.

We are not the IRS and are not interested in these matters of yours.

However, we are investigating the motive and purpose of the murderer and need to know more. Have you ever wondered why the murderer kidnapped you? "

"You mean the murderer wanted revenge on me?"

"We're investigating, and while we can't say for sure, it's a very likely possibility.

The killer has not been caught yet, and once the police leave, they will likely retaliate against you again.Therefore, you must not take it lightly now, only by assisting the police to catch the suspect can you be completely safe. "

Amy Ma pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I see. You can ask, I will definitely cooperate."

Luke continued, "Have you ever offended anyone?"

"No."

"think carefully."

"Really not. I don't know many people here. Not to mention offending people."

"What is your relationship with Mei Cong Confinement Center?"

"I also introduced clients to their confinement center before, but then the confinement center went bankrupt, so I didn't contact them again."

Luke pressed, "Bankrupt for what reason?"

"I'm not very clear about the specific reason. I heard that someone reported it. Many departments went to investigate. The boss was not only fined, but also imprisoned because of this incident. The confinement center can no longer operate." Amy Ma After speaking, there was a brief silence.

From the analysis of the existing evidence, Luke still feels that there is some kind of grievance and conflict of interest between the kidnapper and Amy Ma.

"Let me tell you about the kidnapper, see if you have any impression." Then, Luke began to describe the information of the two suspects, "The male kidnapper is Wang Chao, 34 years old, a chef in a restaurant in the United States. He did not obtain legal status, but came here to work secretly.

The female kidnapper was his wife, named Liu Xiaoli, who used to work as a dish washer in a restaurant. She also had no status. She is now pregnant and recuperating at home. "

"Wang Chao, Liu Xiaoli..." Amy Ma muttered, "These two names sound familiar, but... I really can't remember them all at once."

"think carefully."

After a while, Amy Ma shook her head again, "I'm sorry, I really can't remember, but I did guess the reason for their robbery?"

"What do you think."

"Since the two of them have not obtained the status and are unwilling to leave Los Angeles, they must hope that the child can obtain a legal status, so the purpose of their robbery is probably to go to the confinement center to wait for delivery.

Xiao Hei was a little puzzled, "Where you can't wait for labor, why do you have to go to the confinement center?"

"They are different from ordinary people. They have no identity. If they go to the hospital for examination, they will be deported directly by the immigration bureau, and there is no way to obtain identity at that time."

Little underworld, "You can go to black clinics, as long as you have money, you can also deliver babies there."

Amy Ma shook her head, "That's different.

In that case, the child still cannot obtain American status.

Many people think that as long as a child is born in the United States, he must be a citizen of the United States, but this is not the case.

One more thing to add here is that only children delivered by nurses in regular hospitals are considered legal citizens.

To put it bluntly, this child was born, but there is no relevant certificate. Who knows if he was born abroad and was smuggled into Los Angeles.

To obtain a birth certificate, you have to go to a regular hospital.

And if a pregnant woman has no identity, she will be deported if she goes directly to a regular hospital for examination.

At this time, you need to go to the confinement center.

Existence is reasonable. In the United States, as long as you have money, many illegal things can be done in a legal way. To put it bluntly, as long as you have money, you can open up relationships.

The confinement center acts as a matchmaking bridge, allowing pregnant women to undergo examinations and give birth in regular hospitals.

The child can obtain a birth certificate, that is, a legal citizen.

This has formed a huge industrial chain of interests. Speaking of this, Amy Ma paused and recalled, "I think the female kidnapper's belly is not small, and she probably will go to the confinement center to wait for delivery." "

Amy Ma's analysis makes some sense, and Luke agrees with it.

Before, Luke also thought of the confinement center, but he couldn't be sure at the time.

There are some twists and turns in it, and it is difficult for people who have not been in contact with this industry to think clearly at once.

For professional matters, you have to ask professional people, which is why Luke is eager to take notes for Amy Ma.

Neither he nor Xiao Hei had any experience working in the immigration bureau, so it was difficult to figure out the true role of the confinement center.

Then the next step is simple, as long as you go to the various confinement centers to investigate, you can find the traces of the kidnappers.

After seeing Amy Ma finished speaking, Xiao Hei asked, "Do you know a plumber named Mark Custer?"

Amy Ma showed a slightly embarrassed look, "I know, what's wrong with him?"

"You should thank him for calling 911.

If he hadn't called the police in time, it would have been very difficult for us to know about your kidnapping so quickly.

And I can see that Mark cares about you. "

Amy Ma showed a complicated look, biting her lip, "Mark...does he know my real identity?"

"Yes, he already knew."

Amy Ma sighed softly, "Is he disappointed that he did so many ridiculous things with a nanny who is 20 years older than him."

Xiao Hei asked, "Why did you lie to him?"

Amy Ma lowered her head and was silent for a moment, "Have you ever played role-playing?"

Xiao Hei smiled, "Yes, it's very interesting, and occasionally I will use some clothes and props."

Amy Ma shook her head, "You don't know what it means to be interesting at all, temporary role-playing is all fake, even if you wear role-playing clothes, it's hard to get emotionally involved.

Both parties knew it was fake, they knew it well, and there was no excitement.

But I'm not like Marco.

That environment, that atmosphere, I am the lady.

He is my little wolf dog. "

　The cervical spine is uncomfortable again, and my head is dizzy, which may be due to insufficient blood supply.

　　Sorry for the late update.

　　Only one update today.

　　Go to bed early and adjust your schedule.
