LA Detective

Chapter 191 Closing the case (big chapter)
Yijiabao Confinement Center.

At different price points, the treatment of confinement centers varies greatly.

The most common confinement center may be a larger house, where a pregnant woman lives in each room, and all facilities and furniture are shared.

During pregnancy, women's tempers are more irritable, and a group of pregnant women are prone to quarrels together.

Confinement centers with higher prices are relatively more formal and may have independent single rooms.

Yijiabao Confinement Center belongs to this kind of single-room confinement center.

In a separate single room facing south on the second floor, an Asian couple is packing their things.

"Husband, isn't it too early for me to move into the confinement center now? There are still 3 months before the child is born, and it will cost a lot of money."

The man said, "Lili, stop worrying about money, we have money now.

What you have to do now is to raise your fetus with peace of mind and give birth to the baby in your womb. "

Liu Xiaoli stroked her stomach, "I know."

"Is there anything missing here? I'll go buy it."

"There is no shortage, it is enough."

The man nodded and held his wife's hand, "Lili, I'm leaving first, and I'll come see you tomorrow.

Call me if you need anything. "

The woman was a little bit reluctant, "How are you going to... deal with them?"

"It's still the same sentence, you don't need to worry about anything, you can take care of the baby, and I will take care of the rest." After the man finished speaking, he was about to leave.

The woman was still worried, "Chao, stop calling and asking for money, the risk is too great, the money is enough for us to spend."

"I know, I will take care of things, and when everything is over, I will come to accompany you." The man didn't seem to want to say too much to his wife, and turned to leave.

"Ka..." The man opened the door and was about to leave, when he saw two black guns pointing at him.

"lapd!"

……

Police Department.

Robbery Murder Division, Interrogation Room.

The man was handcuffed on the interrogation chair, and kept looking around, his face full of uneasiness.

"squeak"

The door of the interrogation room opened, and a black-haired youth and a black man walked in.

Luke put the information on the table, looked at the man, "What's your name?"

The man glanced at Luke, "Wang Chao."

"Do you know why they arrested you?"

Wang Chao nodded, "I... kidnapped two people."

"who?"

"Mrs. Kenneth, there is a little girl."

"Why kidnap them?"

"She deserved it, she's a liar."

"What do you mean?"

"It's that Mrs. Kenneth. If it wasn't for her, all of this would not have happened." Wang Chao sighed, lost in memory,

"Originally, my wife and I just wanted to work in the United States for a few years, earn some money and then go home. Later, my wife became pregnant, and our husband and wife paid more attention to pregnancy. We saw the circle of friends posted by Mrs. Kenneth.

Our thinking has changed a bit.

The country is definitely good, and there are many opportunities, but the pressure of competition in the country is relatively high. The two of us have education but no education, skills but no skills, and we will just work as coolies when we go back.

As far as I know, the income of working as a coolie here is higher, and domestic housing prices are too high, so we can't afford a house when we go back.

One is floating in the city, and the other is floating abroad. They are both floating anyway, so I must choose the one with a higher income.

We had the idea of ​​staying.

Then, we contacted Mrs. Kenneth on WeChat, and she told us that as long as the child is born in the confinement center, the child can obtain legal status here.

As long as the child has a legal identity, our identity will be easy to handle.

At that time, what she said was very good, and my wife and I were moved.

We tried our best to raise money and let my wife go to the confinement center recommended by her.

But many things were not as expected, and the confinement center was not as good as imagined.

The living environment, food, service, and medical care are all unsatisfactory.

One night, when my wife went to the toilet, there was a puddle of water on the toilet floor, and the floor was very slippery. It was difficult for her to move because of her big belly, and she slipped and fell.

What's even more exasperating is that after my wife's accident, they didn't send her to the hospital immediately, but sent her back to the room to rest...

When I rushed over, it was too late and the child was not kept. "Wang Chao tapped the interrogation chair with his fist, feeling very excited.
"At that time, I had the idea of ​​killing people. My wife and I had not been here for a long time. We borrowed money to go abroad. Most of the money we earned was repaid, and the rest of the money was used to pay for the confinement center. .

But what about them?

This is how I take care of my wife and the child in my womb. Are they human for earning such black-hearted money? "

Luke asked, "At that time, which confinement center did you go to?"

"Meicong Confinement Center."

"That confinement center closed down later, does it have anything to do with you?"

"Yes, I reported it.

The confinement center earned black money, and when they didn't pay the money, they talked about the hype, how good the accommodation environment is, one-on-one care, meals for pregnant women, etc.

But when we paid the money, things changed.

But the money has been paid, and they have moved in, so they can only suffer a dumb loss.

We don't even have a legal identity, so how can we fight with others.

After the accident, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I reported the confinement center.

It also saves them from deceiving more people.

To this day, I still feel that I did the right thing. "

Luke said, "There is nothing wrong with you reporting the confinement center, but why did you kidnap Mrs. Kenneth and that little girl?"

Wang Chao showed a complicated expression, "A few months ago, my wife became pregnant again.

At first she didn't dare to tell me, I thought something was wrong with her in those days, so she only spoke out when I questioned her.

After hearing the news, I was also in a mixed mood, happy, who is not happy to be a father.

But... also afraid, afraid that something like the last time will happen.

My wife wanted to abort the child, but I did not agree, because she had already had a miscarriage once, and if she had another miscarriage, one was worried about her body, and the other was that she would not be able to conceive again in the future.

I want to keep the child, this is my child, if I can't even protect her, am I still a man?
Later, I stopped letting my wife work, and raised my baby at home with peace of mind, and I worked hard to make money.

But my wife's belly is getting bigger day by day, and a new problem arises, where is the child born?
At first, my wife wanted to go back to China to have a baby, but I thought about it and didn't agree.

It's good to go back to China for a student, the medical conditions are good, and there is no need to worry about it, but... I feel a little bit uncomfortable.

Can't get over the face.

My wife and I have been here for a few years, but we haven’t accomplished anything, and we haven’t earned any money. Now that we have a baby, we’ve returned home.

Relatives and friends have to laugh to death, and there will definitely be all sorts of ugly things by then.

Originally, when my wife and I chose to go abroad, many people made irresponsible remarks. I really don't want to see their faces again.

Nausea.

Why do people have to compare, is it not good to live your own life? "Wang Chao's face was full of helplessness, and he laughed at himself,

"Say they compare, why not me.

After discussing with my wife, I decided to produce here and fight again.

Even if he returned to China, he would go back home with a green card, and he didn't want to be looked down upon.

We began to investigate the matter of giving birth in the United States again, and found that the best way to obtain legal status for the child was to rely on the confinement center.

Very helpless, but there is no way.

Both of us have no status and can't do many things, so we can only choose this path.

Later, we wanted to find a better confinement center to avoid the same situation as last time.

As a result, we saw Mrs. Kenneth again. She changed her WeChat account and still sent the same content.

Angry at first sight.

Afterwards, thinking of my wife's miscarriage, I gritted my teeth with hatred.

Seeing that she lied to others again, and even the content of the post on Moments has not changed, it is still the same set of rhetoric for advertising the confinement center, I really can't control it anymore.

This kind of person... is really shameless.

Looking at the pictures she sent, the superior life, the gorgeous clothes, the spacious villa, and my wife...

It can't be like this, it's wrong, God doesn't care, I care.

So, I inquired about her, trying to grab a sum of money from her family, which she owed us. "

Luke asked, "How did you find Mrs. Kenneth's address?"

"I looked at her circle of friends and knew that she cooperated with a confinement center called Modern Mom, so I found that confinement center and got her address from the confinement center."

"Which person from the confinement center told you?"

"It's the fat lady at the front desk, she told me."

Luke secretly thought, people, as expected, they only talk about what is beneficial to them, and few people who do business are honest.

"How did the fat lady at the front desk tell you?"

Wang Chao thought for a while, "At the beginning, I said that my relatives wanted to find a confinement center, and we started chatting.

I was indeed inquiring about the confinement center at that time, and I wanted to know more about the situation. She saw that my question was very serious, so she didn't think much about it.

Later, I inadvertently asked Mrs. Kenneth where she lived, and the fat lady said that community.

Later, I asked in detail, and the fat lady realized that she was unwilling to say more.

I went to the community she mentioned to watch, and I saw Mrs. Kenneth.

She lived in a high-end neighborhood, a mansion, and had a mixed-race daughter. I felt that the world was so unfair.

The house she lives in may have the money that was defrauded of me back then.

I was even more angry in my heart, and wanted to get back the money she owed me and do justice for the sky. "

Luke pressed, "So you're going to kidnap her and her daughter?"

"I didn't intend to kidnap at the beginning, but just wanted to grab a sum of money, which can not only take revenge on Mrs. Kenneth, but also make up enough money to live in the confinement center.

That night, I thought I was alone, but my wife was worried.

She was wearing a loose dress and was going to come with me.

If it is in China, I will definitely not agree, but here is the United States, it is easy to buy a gun, and the deterrent effect of a pregnant woman with a gun is stronger than a strong man.

So, we went together that night.

I remember that smelly woman was taking a shower, and when she came out of the bathroom, we directly controlled her with a gun.

That smelly woman is still wearing lace pajamas in her old age. It is much more expensive than my wife's clothes. To be honest, it looks pretty good.

We got Mrs. Kenneth and the little girl under control, and asked them about the whereabouts of their valuables.

In the end, the woman actually said that she was just a nanny, and I was stunned.

It turned out that the mansion and car she posted on Moments did not belong to her at all, she was just working as a nanny.

I was dumbfounded.

No money was found at home.

I was angry and felt cheated once again. We took such a big risk and we couldn't get nothing.

I decided to take the risk and kidnap them, and let the little girl's parents take money to ransom them.

I knew it wasn't right, but it got to the point where I had no choice.

You all know what happened next. "

Luke made a note in his notebook and asked, "What are you going to do with Madame Venice and that little girl?"

"Want to hear the truth?"

Luke nodded.

Wang Chao smiled, his eyes were a little empty, "I don't know, and I didn't think about it. But I know that no matter what, I can't let my wife participate.

She's a pregnant woman, and it's not good for her to know too much.

I am ready to face it alone. "

Luke probed, "Are you going to kill them?"

"I probably wouldn't kill that little girl, she has never seen my face and was blindfolded on the way.

I may not be able to do it.

But Mrs. Kenneth...she's going to pay the price, she deserves it. "

Wang Chao did not conceal the facts of the case, and the confession was smooth, because there were witnesses, and he could not deny it even if he wanted to.

After the case was solved, Luke's mood was not relaxed, but rather heavy.

Wang Chao and his wife are not bad in nature, they just want to pursue a better life, but it's a pity that good fortune made them step by step on the road of no return.

The reason is that Luke feels that they are not living calmly enough. It is illegal to work illegally. He has to worry about the immigration bureau and government departments all day long. He probably doesn’t even dare to speak loudly. It's easy to get into trouble.

Luke didn't want to condemn the couple either, it was more of a helplessness.

As a human being in his second life, he knows very well that life is not easy, and not everyone has the courage to live another life.

If you do an interview on the street, the topic is "Will you come back in your next life?"

Luke believed that many people would choose not to come.

In the past, Luke couldn't figure out why good people didn't live long and harm others for thousands of years, and felt that the world was unfair.

From another perspective, if you were in hell, it would be a kind of happiness to leave first.

Of course, people should not be too negative, since they have come to this world, they should live well.

Luke didn't feel sad for too long, and he didn't have the right to complain.

With the Detective System, he is destined to be a cheating existence in this life.

……

Case solved.

Everyone is going to the bar to gather at night.

Xiao Hei and Luke drive a car, they have a ride together, and chat with each other.

While driving, Xiao Hei generally asked, "Will David come tonight?"

Luke shook his head, "I asked, he has a mission tonight, so he can't come."

Xiao Hei shrugged, "It's a pity, I still want to talk to him about this case."

"What are you talking about? It's not like he hasn't handled a case before."

"Of course, we are talking about rescuing the hostages. We have successfully rescued two hostages." Xiao Hei compared two fingers,

"Man, this is a big deal and I'm so proud of both of us."

Luke smiled. Although Xiao Hei was suspected of boasting, he not only successfully rescued the hostages this time, but also did not cause casualties. The case was indeed handled beautifully.

Xiao Hei blinked his eyes wide, "Luke, do you think we will have a reward this time?"

Luke glanced down at the phone before asking, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Promoted! I've been a detective for a long time, and you're deputy now. I can't be Detective Marcus. I have to keep up with you.

Lieutenant Luke and Inspector Marcus, it's only fitting if you say it like this. "

"You're right, I also think you're about to get promoted?" Luke said perfunctorily, bowed his head and typed on his mobile phone.

"Really?" Xiao Hei showed an expectant look.

Luke didn't answer, and sent a message on his mobile phone.

Xiao Hei frowned, "Dude, I'm talking to you, why are you so absent-minded."

Luke put down his phone, "I'm chatting with Daisy, I'm asking her what time she gets off work tonight."

Xiao Hei pouted, "What relationship do you two belong to now?"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend."

Xiao Hei shook his head, "I don't think so."

"Why not?"

"Remember when I was with Julian? She used to call me in the evenings, asking me what time I was coming home, if I wanted to have dinner, stuff like that.

But we drank together, even if it was late, I didn't see Daisy calling you. "

"We don't live together."

"That's no reason not to call."

Luke shrugged, "Maybe...she's too busy."

"Dude, you're a smart guy, you shouldn't make such a shitty excuse."

"I'm not making excuses, we are more compatible in some ways, such as helping each other in life.

In bed, she also enjoyed being with me. "

Xiao Hei smiled, "I can understand that your relationship should be between a couple and a woman.

One step forward is a couple, one step back is a lover, in fact, I quite like your relationship.

Usually, everyone is busy with their own affairs, there is enough space, and they will not overly interfere with their lives. It is good to make an appointment when you have time. "

Luke shook his head, "You seem to understand it, so what's going on with you and Julian?"

"Uh... this is more complicated. In fact, the two of us are more suitable, but I don't want to get married." Speaking of this, Xiao Hei seemed to remember something interesting,
"One night, the two of us did it together on the windowsill." Seeing Luke glance at him, Xiao Hei nodded affirmatively, and said with a smile,
"Yeah, exactly what you think.

Then, we accidentally fell off the ledge.

Occasionally, we just rolled on the lawn with only our tops on.

A car just passed by, and an aunt sitting in the passenger cab was stunned.

Haha...what a crazy night. "

Luke looked at Xiao Hei, "Poor guy, have you noticed that you often mention Julian recently, and you can't help laughing every time."

"is it?"

"yes.

"Uh... that means I've completely let go.

"Are you sure you're not missing her?"

Xiao Hei showed a lonely look, "I...I have to let go, it's good for her and good for me."

The car fell silent, and neither of them spoke again.

Suddenly, Xiao Hei stepped on the brakes and stopped on the side of the road.

Luke fell forward, dissatisfied, "Are you stimulated? And said that he didn't miss Julian."

"No, I didn't stop because of Julian." Xiao Hei pointed to the right front of the car.

Luke looked up, and not far away was a black woman dragging a large trolley case, followed by a ten-year-old boy.

Laura and Jaden.

How are they here?
Xiao Hei got out of the car and waved, "Laura, Jaden, why are you here? Why are you still dragging your luggage?"

Luke also got out of the car and nodded.

Jaden said, "Marcus, I was trying to contact you... Please help."

Marcus asked concerned, "What's the matter, buddy?"

Jaden didn't speak, but glanced at Laura next to him.

"Laura, what's the matter?"

Laura pursed her lips and sighed, "We owed the rent and were kicked out by the landlord."

"Arrears of rent?" Xiao Hei was a little surprised, "Why are you in arrears of rent? Didn't the police department refund you part of the money? It should be enough to live for a long time."

Laura said helplessly, "I... I was cheated, and I lost all my money."

"What? You were cheated? By whom?" Xiao Hei's face was full of doubts.

Laura seemed a little embarrassed, "A friend, a beast that I regarded as a friend, when we first met, he was very kind to me and cared about me.

Knowing that Jaden's father was dead, he kept comforting me and encouraging me to come out.

He also said that he also grew up in a single-parent family, so he understands and sympathizes with the difficulty of being a single mother.

Therefore, he is willing to help me and take me to invest together. "

When Laura said this, she hesitated to speak.

Xiao Hei asked, "How did he trick you into investing?"

"He said that there is a profitable project, which is in the cusp of investment, and the return on investment is extremely high, and he wants to invite me to invest together.

I was also a little worried at first, but he was very enthusiastic, and I thought he was not a bad person, so I tried to invest a thousand dollars.

Later, as he said, I really made money, and I can make a profit soon after investing, and I can directly use the software to withdraw cash.

Later, I increased my investment, and as a result, I lost all of it.

I just realized that I had been lied to. "

Xiao Hei opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

A woman, a black woman...

Hey……

After a long time, Luke asked, "Where are you going?"

Laura pointed to the rescue center on the right, "We originally planned to go to the rescue station, but it was already full, so we had no choice but to leave."

Xiao Hei looked at Laura, then at Jaden, "Come with me."

A group of people entered the rescue station again. There were many people lying in the hall, including homeless men, homeless women, and some with children like Laura.

Even in a prosperous city, there are people at the bottom who have difficulties in life.

Xiao Hei walked to the front desk of the service station. There was a glass window, and a middle-aged Latina woman was sitting inside.

"Hey, I'm Detective Marcus. I found a mother and child who need help on the side of the road. Can you let them live in?"

The Latina elder sister looked at Laura and Jaden, and said helplessly, "Sorry, the aid station only has 90 beds in total, and they are already full."

Xiao Hei said, "It's so late, and it's really difficult for single mothers with a child. Can you help me find a bed?"

The Latina lady sighed, "Detective Marcus, I can understand your feelings, but look at those people in the hall, they are all waiting in line for a bed.

It is indeed full, and there is nothing I can do.

You should go to other rescue stations to see. "

Xiao Hei glanced at the crowd in the hall, and had no choice but to leave with Laura and Jaden.

"You guys wait here."

After Xiao Hei finished speaking, he walked aside to communicate with Luke.

Luke asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Take them to other rescue stations. If I don't care, they will definitely sleep on the street." After Xiao Hei finished speaking, he shrugged, "Sorry, you can only take a taxi to the bar."

"Good luck." Luke said hello to Jaden's mother and son before leaving.

Xiao Hei patted Jaden on the shoulder and comforted him, "Come on, I'll take you to other aid stations and find a place to live first.

As for the defrauded money, I will ask the Economic Crime Division tomorrow to see if I can get the money back. "
