LA Detective

Chapter 268
Robbery Murder Division.

A squadron conference room.

Susan pushed her glasses and asked with a serious face, "Luke, how is the interrogation going?"

"Well, he won't plead guilty."

Susan guessed this possibility, but still couldn't help asking, "Who can pry Markway's mouth open?"

The deputy team said, "The poisoning case resulted in five deaths and one injury. It was too harmful and the crime was too serious. Even if he voluntarily pleaded guilty, he would be sentenced to death.

If you don't plead guilty, you still have a chance to fight in court. Even if the chance is pitiful, there is a glimmer of hope after all.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Markway made this choice. "

Susan asked, "Deputy team, you have a lot of experience, how do you think we should deal with it?"

"Actually, it's not like there's no chance for him to plead guilty voluntarily.

I think there are three ways. The first way is that the person he cares about is also involved in this case. In order to avoid the person he cares about being implicated, he may take the initiative to plead guilty.

The second method can be to use the aggressive method. Many suspects who have committed serious crimes have taken life and death lightly.

The third way to influence him, I am not very good at this. After the deputy team finished speaking, he took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat.

"If these three methods do not work for the suspect, the only option is to go to court.

What we have to do is to collect as many suspects' evidence as possible. "

Luke also agreed with the deputy team's idea, thought for a while and said, "I have been observing Markway during the interrogation, and I feel that these three methods have little effect on him.

I'm not sure about getting him to plead guilty. Luke changed the subject and looked at Vincent aside, "Deputy team, why don't you try?" "

"I'll look at Ni's interrogation record tonight, study it, and interrogate Markway tomorrow." The deputy team didn't refuse.

He has been a policeman for so many years, and apart from money, he really likes this job.

Susan said, "The poisoning case involved many dead people, and the whole case is relatively complicated. Mark Wei refused to plead guilty, so we can only analyze the crime process by ourselves and connect the whole case together.

Luke, you have a more comprehensive grasp of the whole case, let's analyze it. "

Luke did not refuse, and organized his language, "The focus of everyone's attention is the mineral water poisoning case. In fact, before the mineral water poisoning case, there was a red wine poisoning case in Shanyuan Supermarket.

These two cases are related to a certain extent, I think we should start with the red wine poisoning case.

The original origin of the case was Gangnam Supermarket. The female owner of Gangnam Supermarket was Li Sunmi. She immigrated to Los Angeles through the relationship of her cousin Kim Soo-hye, and she got a lot of help from her cousin Kim Soo-hye during the initial period.

After more than ten years of development, Li Shanmei's life is getting better and better, the relationship between husband and wife is harmonious, and the economic conditions are prosperous.

But Jin Xiuhui's life is not as good as before. The reversal of the situation of the cousins ​​makes Jin Xiuhui very disappointed and unwilling.

Under such a long-term psychological gap, Jin Xiuhui gradually developed resentment towards Li Sunmi. She didn't want her cousin to live a better life than herself.

On the night of August 3, the Jiangnan Supermarket had a power outage and the surveillance cameras were unavailable.

Jin Xiuhui put several bottles of poisonous red wine prepared in advance into Jiangnan Supermarket, and she wanted to bring down Jiangnan Supermarket in this way.

After she left the supermarket, a group of thieves also wanted to take advantage of the power outage to rob Jiangnan Supermarket, and sold the stolen goods to Shanyuan Supermarket, including three bottles of poisoned red wine.

Three customers bought poisonous red wine from Shanyuan Supermarket, and their stomachs hurt after drinking it. Two of them filed a claim against Shanyuan Supermarket.

Another customer did not claim compensation from Shanyuan Supermarket.

This client is Moses, the boyfriend of the poisoner Markway.

It was precisely because of drinking this poisonous bottle of red wine that Markway was inspired to plan the next mineral water poisoning case.

And Markway's real target is Darcy, who often goes to Shanyuan Supermarket to buy Weisen brand mineral water.

Mark Wei is Darcy's agent, and he knows Darcy's habits very well.

Dalsey is a stand-up performer, and his mouth tends to dry out during performances. He often buys some mineral water and stores it in his locker.

Markway is using this to kill people.

He first bought Weisen brand mineral water, then used tools to poison the mineral water, and put it in Shanyuan Supermarket for sale. "

When Luke said this, he also paused and took a sip of green tea.

Jackson took the opportunity to ask, "I don't understand one thing, even if Markway poisoned Shanyuan Supermarket, how can he be sure that Darcy will buy poisonous mineral water?

There are a lot of mineral water in Shanyuan Supermarket, but only two bottles of poisonous mineral water were found. The probability of this is very low. "

Luke put down his teacup, "Not two bottles, Markway only put a bottle of poisonous mineral water in Shanyuan Supermarket. And that bottle of poisonous mineral water was bought by the female victim who was climbing the mountain.

Another part of the mineral water was thrown into the subway station by young Tom. His purpose was to confuse the public and make the police think that this was a random poisoning case.

He secretly put the bottle of mineral water that Dalsey drank.

He was Dulcey's agent, and there was no difficulty in doing that.

This is why Markway chose to poison Shanyuan Supermarket.

Darcy often goes to Shanyuan Supermarket to buy things, including Weisen brand mineral water.

Once Dalsey was poisoned by Weisen brand mineral water, the police would track him down to Shanyuan Supermarket, mistakenly thinking that he bought the poisonous mineral water in the supermarket himself.

Will treat Darcy as a random victim of a poisoning.

In this way, Markway can successfully escape the police investigation. "

Xiao Hei said with emotion, "This guy is really insane. In order to kill a Darcy, he asked four people to be buried with him, including a 12-year-old boy.

He must be sentenced to death, this kind of person is terrible. "

Susan asked, "What was his motive for committing the crime?"

"Dulcey has made a name for himself, has been invited by the TV station, and is on the verge of rising to prominence.

Darcy wanted to get rid of Markway, the agent, and the two had conflicts because of their interests.

Markway is gay, and Dulcey may have verbally stimulated him to make it even more unacceptable.

Under the blow of both interests and self-esteem, Markway was dazzled by anger and chose to poison Darcy.

As for buying poison from the Internet, everyone knows it, so I won't go into too much detail. "

Susan flipped through the documents and sighed, "This case involves multiple deceased persons, and we must be prepared to go to court when Markway refuses to plead guilty.

Collect as many clues and evidence of the case as possible, everyone is busy. "

The deputy team laughed, "I bet, Rhett will complain about the funding again after seeing us."

Susan took off her glasses, "Then you have to find a way to get Markway to plead guilty."

"Do your best, I'll try."

"Good, we will drive here first." Susan stood up, "Luke, come to my office."

……

The two entered the captain's office one after the other.

Susan made a gesture of invitation and motioned for Luke to sit on the chair opposite.

"Captain, what can I do for you?"

Susan sat across the table, didn't speak immediately, took a sip from the coffee cup, "I'm going to be transferred."

Luke was a little surprised. Although he knew he was going to be promoted, the Robbery and Murder Division had three squadrons. Even if Luke wanted to be promoted to captain, he didn't necessarily have to take over as the captain of any squadron.

"Where are you going to transfer?"

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the General Administration."

"You are about to be promoted, congratulations."

Susan previously worked in the Detective Department's Internal Affairs Division.

"Thank you."

"But why did you transfer back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Actually, before I came to the Robbery and Murder Division, I was originally going to be transferred to the Internal Affairs Department of the General Administration, but there were some accidents in the middle..."

"What accident? Is there something wrong with the Robbery and Murder Division?"

"No, I have some personal problems." Susan hesitated and spread her hands, "Actually, there is nothing we can't say.

About my son.

My son was also a former police officer.

He violated some police regulations. Originally, I could help him, as long as I wanted to.

But, I didn't do that...he got kicked off the force.

Because of this incident, the relationship between the two of us is very tense.

He thought I was too old-fashioned and dogmatic, always talking about the regulations, and didn't understand the difficulties of front-line police officers dealing with suspects. Susan sighed softly.
"At the time, I didn't think I did anything wrong.

I acted in accordance with the law and the regulations of the police station.

Colleagues around me also praised me for being unselfish, but I could feel their alienation.

During that time, I had some self-doubt...

Later, by chance, the captain of the No. [-] Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division was transferred away.

At that time, No. [-] Squadron's investigation style was a bit out of the ordinary, and it was a well-known stabbing department. Reid hoped that someone could control No. [-] Squadron and standardize No. [-] Squadron's investigation methods.

So, I transferred to the first squadron.

The current No. [-] Squadron has undergone great changes, and with such an excellent captain candidate like you, it's time for me to leave. "

Susan said sincerely, "I recommended you to Rhett, and I believe you will do better than me."

"Thank you Captain." Luke showed a grateful look.

Although even if Susan doesn't recommend Luke, Rhett may still let Luke take over as the captain, but with Susan's recommendation, it is tantamount to a certainty.

In a way, her opinion matters.

If she feels that Luke is not suitable, then Luke will probably not be able to take over as a squadron leader;

Assuming that Reid insists on Luke taking over, once there is a problem after Luke takes over, Reid will bear a lot of responsibility.

So, this is the best outcome.

Luke asked back, "Captain, did you get what you wanted?"

"I guess." Susan said, "I have been working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for nearly 20 years. Although I don't want to admit it, there are many differences between us and ordinary police officers.

Taking over as the captain of the No. [-] Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division, I had the opportunity to get in touch with the suspects and also experienced firsthand the difficulties of front-line police officers in handling cases.

I have known these difficulties before, but the feeling of knowing and experiencing is different.

The work during this period is very important to me, and it gives me the confidence to face the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a better attitude and a more comprehensive perspective. "

Luke asked with a smile, "If I make a mistake in the future, will you cover me?"

Susan was stunned for a moment, "Make fewer mistakes."

"Thank you."

Luke was satisfied with the answer.

……

eight pm.

Metzque.

"Cheers." The investigation of the case came to an end, and everyone came to the bar to relax.

In addition to a few people from the first squadron, Luke also called David.

David put down his glass and asked, "I heard you caught the poisoned bastard?"

Xiao Hei replied, "That's right, it's Mark Wei, the manager of the dead man on the talk show."

"Why did that bastard poison?"

David is not an outsider, and Xiao Hei didn't hide it, "The dead man of the talk show wants to terminate his contract with him. This guy feels that he has been abandoned, so he wants to take revenge on the other party."

"At first I thought it was really a random poisoning case."

"So are we."

Luke said, "By the way, there is one more thing to tell you, during our investigation, there was a talk show actor named Kenneth who lied about being a murderer in order to become famous.

We applied to search his home and found a large number of D drugs, which we are going to hand over to your anti-crime and anti-drug department.

We will also charge him with obstruction of law enforcement. "

David said disapprovingly, "I'm not surprised at all that talk show actors use drugs.

It's normal for these guys to suck D in order to keep excited. "

Luke said, "Don't give him a plea deal."

David laughed, "He offended you."

Xiao Hei drew a circle with his right index finger, "Everyone."

"I will take good care of him." David showed an expression that I understand, and then asked Xiao Hei, "Hey, I heard that you are getting married. Is it true?"

"Really, I will invite you."

"I bought it!" David showed an exaggerated look, "Are you crazy?"

"I'm pretty normal."

"That's why this world is crazy." David still couldn't believe it, took a sip of wine to suppress his shock, "Who is the marriage partner?"

"You know it too."

"Have you turned back? Julian?"

"That's right, it's her."

"Are you sure you're not kidding me?" David asked Xiao Hei, but his eyes turned to other people.

Luke said, "It's true, Julian and Marcus are reconciled. Yesterday, they invited me to dinner at home. The grilled lamb chops are delicious."

David reached out and pinched Xiao Hei's face, "Why? Is there something wrong with you?"

"Hey, I'm normal." Xiao Hei hid back, glanced around, and explained in a low voice, "Julian is pregnant, and I have to be responsible for her."

"God! I really feel incredible." David said with emotion.

The deputy team raised their glasses, "David, you are not alone."

Jenny also raised her glass, "That's what I want to say too."

Xiao Hei said dissatisfied, "Hey hey hey, enough of you, different age groups do different things, don't always look at me with old eyes."

The deputy team toasted again, "Bless you, I sincerely hope you don't follow in my footsteps."

Xiao Hei had black lines on his face, but he also knew that the deputy team had such a bad mouth, so he just rolled his eyes and didn't bother to care about it.

You deserve to be the vice-team for the rest of your life. I'm not like you.

"Jingle Bell……"

Just then, Luke's cell phone rang.

Luke took a look, it was Linda calling, "Hello, mom."

"Where are you? Are you still investigating?" On the phone, Linda's voice was a little anxious.

"No, my colleagues and I are drinking at the bar, what's wrong?"

"Jack hasn't come home until now. I went to the comic shop and fried chicken shop where he often goes, but I didn't see him.

I called my classmate's family to inquire, but they didn't know either.

I can't find him. "

"Where's Maggie? Does she know?"

"I added Maggie's chat software before, and I sent a message, but she never replied, and I don't know the exact location of her home."

"Don't worry, I know where Maggie's house is, I'll go to Maggie and ask, maybe she knows where Jack is."

Linda worried, "Is nothing wrong with him?"

"Don't worry, he might be playing with some friend and forgot to tell you.

I will find him. "Luke said a few more words of comfort, then hung up the phone.

"Guys, my brother is not home, my mother is in a hurry, I have to go find him."

Xiao Hei asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"

"not needed for now."

David made a gesture, "I need to call."

"I will." Luke said goodbye to his colleagues and left the bar.

……

Two 10 minutes later.

Calle community.

A Mercedes-Benz G500 drove into the card community.

This community is not far from the Eno community, where Maggie's family lives.

Luke had never been to Maggie's house, and the reason why he knew the location of Maggie's house was by accident.

At that time, Fatty and Maggie were still secretly in love, and the family didn't know it. Luke, who just returned to the community, saw the two of them pressing the road and showing their affection.

Out of the responsibility of being an older brother, and of course more likely out of curiosity, Luke followed and found the little fat man watching Maggie go home with a smirk on his face.

Luke parked the car near Maggie's house, and as soon as he got out of the car, he found a sneaky figure near Maggie's house.

With that height and shape, Luke could recognize the little fat man at a glance.

Luke snapped his fingers and waved, "You idiot, get in the car."

The little fat man hesitated at first, but when he saw Luke get into the car, he also got into the co-pilot.

Luke glanced at him, but there was no injury on his body, his eyes were red, as if he had cried, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you go home?"

The little fat man lowered his head, "I don't want to say it."

Seeing that he was not injured, Luke was also relieved. He could probably guess what happened. It was probably because the young couple had a quarrel and got emotional.

Luke starts the car and prepares to take him home.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"send you home."

"I don't want to go home."

"why?"

"I don't want to go home, I don't want to face my mother's inquiries, I'm sad enough."

"Did you break up?"

"Is it obvious?"

"Why did Maggie break up with you?"

"I don't know, I just want to find out from her."

"Then why didn't you ask, but sneaked out and hid?"

"Her father is at home..."

"Are you going to wait outside until Maggie comes out alone?"

"I don't know." The little fat man shook his head and said in a begging voice, "Can I go to your house tonight?"

"why?"

"I think this will make me feel better, maybe you can give me some experience."

"What experience?"

"The experience of falling in love."

"I let you down, I can't give it to you. Because I usually dump others, I don't know what it feels like to be dumped."

The little fat man reached out to open the car door.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Go see Maggie."

"You have the courage to knock on her door."

"No, but I can wait outside."

Luke "..."

Luke locked the car door and said helplessly, "Don't you feel ashamed?"

The little fat man clutched his chest, "I can only feel sad now."

"Then just knock on his door."

"What if his dad opens the door?"

"Just tell the truth. If you want to talk to Maggie, he should understand."

"No, I haven't officially met him yet."

"Maggie didn't invite you to her house?"

"I've been there, but only when her father was away."

"Are you sure you're not a spare tire?"

"You can't say that about Maggie, she's not that kind of woman."

"OK, I'll give you three choices now, the first one is to knock on the door to see Maggie.

Second, I will take you back to your mother's house.

Third, go to my house to sleep on the sofa, which is very hard. "

The little fat man glanced at Maggie's house outside the car window, "I choose a very hard sofa."

Luke shook his head, took out his mobile phone and called Linda, "Say it yourself."

The little fat man is unwilling to answer the phone, "She will scold me."

"I'll beat you up."

The little fat man reluctantly took the phone, "I'm Jack."

"God, where have you been? Why don't you go home and don't tell me."

"I forgot."

"What's the damn reason, hurry home, immediately, and explain it to me."

The little fat man took the phone away, "Brother invited me to live at his house, I won't go back tonight."

"Not today, you have to come back."

"I do not want."

After the little fat man finished speaking, he returned the phone to Luke.

Luke said simply, "He broke up with Maggie."

"Hehe..." Linda sneered, "You really are brothers, send that little bastard home."

The little fat man shouted, "I don't want to go home, I don't want to be questioned, I'm tired enough."

"Very well, then you should never come back." Linda hung up the phone.

Luke sighed, "Mom is concerned about you, why are you messing with her?"

"I don't want to be like this either, I just can't control my temper." The little fat man sighed, showing a look of remorse.

Luke said sternly, "It's a sign of weakness to lose your temper with someone close to you. It has no meaning except to prove that you are immature."
