LA Detective

Chapter 312 Case Closed (Happy National Day to everyone!)
"Why do you use the word out of control? Have you known each other for a long time?"

"Yes."

"How did you know each other? What's the relationship?"

"He is my bodyguard and sometimes helps me with some private matters."

Jenny said, "Didn't you say publicly that you don't have bodyguards?"

Muriel Baldini glanced at Jenny, "You have to know that no matter how well you do, there will always be people in this world who don't like you.

It’s the same in business, there are profits and losses, and since you want to make money, you have to bear corresponding risks, but there are always people who can’t figure this out, thinking that after investing money in our company, the company is obliged to help them make money, and once they lose money, they will cause trouble.

How could I commute to and from get off work by bicycle without the covert protection of bodyguards. "

Luke asked, "Sost will drive you to work every day?"

"Sometimes it's Marbury, he's also my bodyguard."

Jenny was puzzled, "There are so many bodyguards, why did you hire two bad guys as bodyguards?"

Muriel Baldini said, "As you said, in order to maintain my image of being close to the public, it is impossible for me to claim that I have bodyguards.

Although Souther and Marbury have criminal records, in the final analysis, it is only for money. As long as I give enough money, they will work for me with peace of mind. "

Luke knew that Muriel Baldini wasn't telling the truth, and that she didn't choose these two as bodyguards purely.

There should be a problem with Muriel Baldini's company, Jakobo Johnston's situation may not be an exception, and these two bodyguards should help him with his dirty work.

Jenny asked, "You say you like environmentally friendly transportation, but you have three luxury cars parked in your garage, and you say you don't have bodyguards, but you instruct your bodyguards to hurt others.

I didn't expect you to be such a hypocrite, what else is fake about you? "

"Sorry for disappointing you.

I don't want to deceive people, but there are many people in this world who like... similar images and like to drink chicken soup.

Since being like that would help my career, why not? "

Luke stared at Muriel Baldini and asked, "Ms. Baldini, I have been observing your expression and found that you have not had much emotional fluctuations from beginning to end. Can you tell me how you did it?"

"I have taken professional emotional management courses, which are the basic qualities of a successful businessman. In addition, I have also done micro-plastic surgery to make the facial lines look more friendly and make it easier for customers to have a good impression.

If you need, I can help you recommend. "

"No, I don't need it." Luke understood why he couldn't see through the other party's lies. Emotional management is one aspect, but the most important thing may be plastic surgery.

After plastic surgery, the facial muscles will be stiff and uncoordinated, which will have a certain impact on the observation of micro-expressions.

"What's the matter between you and Jacob Johnston?"

"Contradictions at work."

"Describe in detail."

"Uh... the company's recent operations have encountered some problems, and the company's senior management and I are doing our best to deal with them. As long as we proceed according to my plan, there is a way to make a smooth transition and turn the crisis into safety.

However, Jakob Johnston had a different idea. He was stubborn and inflexible. He stole a lot of materials from the company and even threatened me to hand them over to the media.

As long as these negative news are made public, it may ruin the company. I can't let this happen, so I let Soest solve it. "

"Ms. Baldini, we have obtained a document from Soest. The owner of the document is Jacob Johnston. He has a different view on the company's situation than you."

"Did you find that document?"

"Yes, do you want to listen to it?" Luke took out a document from the folder and read,

"This decision is very difficult for me, I don't want to do something wrong to the company, and I don't want my colleagues to lose their jobs, but if I turn a blind eye, the interests of customers will be damaged and my conscience will be disturbed.

The company has had some problems recently. To be precise, I have long had doubts about some of the company's practices, but the company's recent financial crisis has completely lifted the fig leaf.

I can't lie to myself anymore, it's not just about work ethic, it makes me feel like a fraud if I don't say anything.

That's right, a scammer.

I found that the company has always had the problem of misappropriating customers' funds. At the beginning, the problem was not serious. Later, it used the money of new customers to make up for the money of old customers, but sooner or later there will be problems.

Therefore, the company's top management decided to make false accounts and use 'legal' means to transfer losses to customers. Some disputes may arise in a short period of time, but as long as they are willing to spend money, buy the media, and gain the upper hand in public opinion, they will not harm the company. reputation is affected.

It's horrible, I can't believe this is the company I work for.

If I don't expose these things, I will be condemned by conscience for the rest of my life.

Jacob Johnston. "

"Lying, he's lying, the company is not what he said at all, he must be out of his mind."

Luke said, "I have already handed over that information to the Economic Crime Division."

Muriel Baldini closed her eyes, her cheeks twitched irregularly, "This company is my painstaking effort, I have paid a lot for this company, I can't just watch him destroy the company..."

Luke said, "Is it because of this obsession that you decided to rob the bank?"

"No, as I said before, the bank robbery has nothing to do with me. I don't know about it at all. Soest told me about it after he robbed the bank."

"And do you know about Jacob Johnston's keeping the papers in the bank locker?"

"do not know."

"really?"

"Yes."

"That's not what Soster said. According to him, after receiving your instructions, he and Marbury Carr acted together and asked Jacob Johnston's home to find out the whereabouts of the documents. They are still in the safe. Got the key and asked the combination of the safe.

The two then took Jacob Johnston into the wild and killed him.

The FBI had already taken Soest to identify the scene, and he couldn't have lied about it. Luke paused and continued, "According to Soest, after getting the key and password of the bank locker, he will tell you about it.

Because Marbury Carr and Jacob Johnston have similar physical characteristics, you let Marbury take the ID to pretend to be Jacob Johnston and go to the bank locker to get things. After entering the vault, Marbury tried Open the locker, the key is real but the code prompt is wrong.

According to the bank's regulations, if the password is wrong three times, the identity of the owner of the locker must be checked.

Marbury rushed out after only one try.

The three of you discussed and suspected that Jacob Johnston gave a fake password, but Jacob Johnston has been killed by you, and you have no way to get the new password. You are facing Soest Complained a pass.

Soster proposes to rob the bank, and you agree. "

"He lied, I didn't know it at all." Muriel Baldini's tone was firm.

Luke took out a group of photos and put them in front of Muriel Baldini, "This is the monitoring of the Bank of North Hollywood, and the monitoring time is exactly when Marbury pretended to be Jacob Johnston and went to the bank locker The date the item was picked up.

At that time, you ran outside the bank to wait for the information in the first place. This is your Maserati car. Although you did not get out of the car, the camera still captured the scene of you sitting in the cab. This shows that you know that the information is hidden in The bank also knew about Soest's actions to rob the bank.

You lied. "

Muriel Baldini sighed. "I regret it. I should have called a lawyer."

"If you really regret it, you shouldn't have done something illegal and criminal."

"Sometimes when you're in a position, you have to do it even if you don't want to do it."

"Tell me about the night you were 'kidnapped'."

"I do not want to say."

"Then let's talk about the FBI agent being killed."

"This matter has nothing to do with me, don't try to push it on me again."

"Then talk about your being 'kidnapped'."

"Huh..." Muriel Baldini sighed, "After Soest and the others robbed the bank, things got serious.

At first, I didn't dare to contact them rashly.

Later, they said they wanted to go out to avoid it, and wanted to meet me before going.

I said yes and got some cash for them too.

After we met, I asked him about the materials, and he said they had been destroyed.

Before I could be happy, you guys tracked it down too, and things got out of hand.

The three of us summed it up and decided that I would drive them out. You all know what happened afterwards. "

Jenny said, "Ms. Baldini, I didn't expect you to be with someone like Soest."

Muriel Baldini smiled, "Officer Jenny, I'm not as good as you think, and Soster is not as bad as you think.

I'm sure I can keep him under control.

Actually, I'm curious why he betrayed me. "

Jenny said, "He has always had something against you."

Muriel Baldini didn't take it seriously, "It's just a means of self-protection, I can understand it.

But I can't figure out what method you use to make him betray me.Even if the lawyer turns his back on you, as long as Soest doesn't come forward to make a confession, you still won't be able to obtain evidence. "

Jenny asked, "Why do you believe that Soest will not identify you?"

"For the crimes committed by Soest, regardless of whether he betrayed me or not, he will be sentenced to death, and he will spend the rest of his life in prison.

And I can secretly take care of him and his family. "

"It's a good idea, but the plan can't keep up with the changes." Luke said perfunctorily, and didn't say much.

If it was a regular interrogation, Soest would most likely not identify Muriel Baldini. From this perspective, Luke really should thank Anthony, otherwise it would be difficult to open the breakthrough of the interrogation.

This also shows the importance of mutual cooperation. There are many people with great power, and it is not a good habit to eat alone.

……

7:[-] p.m., Marcus' house.

The case was solved, and everyone who had been busy for several days could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Marcus invited everyone to dinner at home, and also took this opportunity to officially introduce Julian to everyone.

The two have obtained the certificate and become an official couple, but the wedding has not yet been held.

After everyone rushed to Marcus's house, Julian greeted them at the gate of the yard, "Everyone, I'm glad you can attend the party."

"Julian, you look beautiful today, this blue dress suits you very well." Luke handed over a bag of red wine, "This is a gift for you."

"Thank you." Julian accepted with a smile.

Xiao Hei said, "Julian, let me introduce you. This is Chief Reed. He has always taken good care of me in the police station."

"Hello, Chief Red."

Rhett smiled, "Hello, Mrs. Burnett.

When I first heard the news that Marcus got married, I still couldn't believe it.

This guy... is a bit difficult to deal with.

I have always wondered what kind of woman can subdue him.

I finally saw it today. "

"Wow, hearing you say that, I suddenly feel very powerful."

Rhett also handed over a gift box, "I wish you a happy wedding."

"Thank you."

Xiao Hei stood aside and introduced his colleagues to Julian one by one.

Have you met Julian among them, such as the deputy team and Matthew.

The rest of the colleagues had met Julian face to face, but it was not a formal acquaintance, so Xiao Hei introduced him again.

At around [-]:[-], David also arrived by car, and all the party guests were present.

After thinking twice, Marcus still didn't invite Susan. It's not that he didn't respect her, but this time it was a temporary invitation. After all, Susan had gone to another department, so she might not have time to attend.

Wait until the wedding to invite her.

Everyone set up an oven in the yard and ate barbecue.

The ingredients are all purchased by Julian, including beef, mutton, chicken, various seafood, and some vegetables.

Soon under the charcoal fire, the steak sizzled and the aroma was overflowing.

"cheers."

Everyone celebrated with beer.

Reid put down his glass and said, "Guys, this bank robbery was done well, and the FBI's limelight has been overwhelmed by you.

I didn't expect that there would be a mastermind behind the case. "

"Muriel Baldini is very cunning, there is an agreement between her and Soest, even if Soest is caught by the police, he will not be easily confessed.

In exchange, she will support Soest and Soest's daughter for a long time.

This time he was able to find something wrong with Muriel Baldini, thanks to Jackson. " Luke ate a piece of beef and continued,
"Director, the statements of Muriel Baldini and Soest basically match.

The murder of Jakob Johnston and the North Hollywood bank robbery have been solved.

The reason why Muriel Baldini had to deal with Jakobo Johnston was because Jakobo wanted to report some problems in the company.

I recommend the transfer of Muriel Baldini to the Economic Crimes Division. "

Rhett nodded, "You can contact the Economic Crime Division."

Xiao Hei came over with an iron plate, and put the roasted meat into the plate, "Guys, we have been working on a case all day, and we finally got off work, why don't we talk about some light topics."

David smiled, "Good idea, why don't you talk about your newlywed life, how do you feel?"

Xiao Hei sat on the seat next to him, "Good, it feels great. I get hot coffee and breakfast every morning, and no matter how late I come home at night, the lights are on. It's very warm.

I am enjoying life now. "

David raised his glass, "Man, congratulations, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to be the first among us to get married."

Jenny said, "I didn't think of that either."

The deputy said, "Me too."

Matthew said, "And me."

Xiao Hei glanced back and whispered, "Actually, I didn't expect..."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

"Life is inherently impermanent, if everything counts, then life will have no fun at all.

Marriage is also a period of growth for men. "Red raised his glass, "Inspector Marcus, congratulations on having a perfect family. "

"Thank you, Chief." Xiao Hei also picked up his glass, "However, Chief... Detective, I'm still a detective."

"Are you sure?" Reid smiled and looked at Luke aside, "Captain, did I remember wrongly, or did Inspector Marcus remember wrongly?"

Luke also smiled, "Director, how could you be wrong, Inspector Marcus made a mistake."

Xiao Hei reacted, showing a look of surprise, "God, Inspector Marcus! I've been promoted!
Did you hear that?I'm a detective now! "

"Boss, captain, thank you so much...I'm so happy, I don't even know what to say."

Reid said, "Marcus, I have always seen your ability, you are an indispensable part of the team, but your shortcomings are also obvious, not stable enough, and do things casually.

You decided to get married and start a new family, which shows that you have a sense of responsibility and responsibility, and you will become a husband and father, which proves that you are more stable than before.

The Inspector's job is well deserved. "

"Boss, thank you for your approval. I always thought..." Xiao Hei is an emotional person, his eyes are a little red. As a black police officer, he has always had a natural feeling of closeness to Chief Red.

But this sense of intimacy has not been responded to. He is very envious of the relationship between Rhett and Luke. Now that Rhett said something, Xiao Hei feels very warm. It turns out that Rhett has been paying attention to himself.

The deputy team also said, "Wow, Inspector Marcus, it sounds a little uncomfortable."

"Inspector Marcus, congratulations." The other team members congratulated.

"Thank you." Marcus responded with a smile, drank a drink with everyone, and ran to Julian who was preparing the vegetable salad.

"Hey baby, did you hear that?
I got promoted.

I'm Inspector Marcus now! "
