LA Detective

Chapter 321 Arrest
In a police patrol car.

John sat in the passenger cab of the patrol car and looked out the window, "Lucy, park on the right, there is a convenience store ahead."

Lucy pulled the car over slowly and yawned, "John, don't get out of the car in a hurry, we have to talk."

"What do you want to talk about?" John took a sip from his coffee cup.

Lucy pointed to her watch, "It's already ten o'clock in the evening, and I was ready to wash and go to bed at this time before.

Look, we've had enough overtime today, there's more work to be done. "

John nodded, "OK, after checking this convenience store, we'll get off work, how about it?"

"I've heard that twice."

"Believe me, this is definitely the last time." John got out of the car and went straight to the convenience store.

Lucy rolled her eyes, "Are all men so bored with this damn competition?"

John turned around, "Hey, I heard that, real men have to be brave enough to challenge."

Lucy shook her head, "Children."

The two entered the convenience store, John looked at the cash register, and there was a tall, thin, middle-aged white man standing inside, "Hi, boss, how is business tonight?"

"It's okay, if you're one minute late, I might close the door." The white boss glanced at the two, "Two police officers, what do you want?"

John said, "Do you sell prepaid disposable cell phones here?"

The boss asked back, "Yes, what's the problem?"

"Uh, we are investigating a case where the suspect used a disposable cell phone. As far as we know, she probably bought it at a convenience store nearby."

The boss frowned, "Do you have any evidence? I'm sure you bought it in my store."

"No, it's not your store, but the convenience stores around here. We're just here to check."

The boss showed his original appearance, "Do you have a search warrant?"

"No."

"I am responsible to my customers and cannot easily expose their privacy."

"We are only checking suspicious persons and will not disclose the situation of convenience store customers."

"Sorry, I can't help you." The boss put on a gesture of seeing off the guests.

"I respect your decision." John walked to the door, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, "Hello, is this Captain Jackson from the Robbery and Murder Division?

I'm John.

According to the requirements of your robbery and murder department, I visited the convenience store near the base station area to investigate.

We are now at the Telagi Convenience Store on Noconley Ave...  

Yes, there are disposable mobile phones in the store, but the boss is not willing to cooperate with the investigation...

OK, I see, I will bring someone over tomorrow, and I will show you the way. "

John hangs up the phone and prepares to leave.

The boss became a little uneasy, and stopped him, "Hey, who were you calling just now?"

"none of your business."

"But you mentioned me just now, obviously about me.

Are you going to trouble me just because I didn't assist in the investigation?If so, we complain to you. "

"I don't want to trouble you. We are just investigating the case. The Robbery and Murder Division is also investigating this case. Our two departments are just sharing information.

Kindly remind me that just because I can't get a search warrant doesn't mean the Robbery and Murder Division can't get one. "

The boss questioned, "It's almost ten o'clock, don't they want to sleep?"

"You are right. It is estimated that the search warrant may be applied for tomorrow. Your business may be affected tomorrow. You have to be mentally prepared."

"Come on, I just want to do business well, can I not toss."

"I don't want to do this either, so I came here at night. There are no customers in the store now. If you are willing to assist us in the investigation, it may only be a matter of a few minutes. As long as we have checked, several big bosses from the Robbery and Murder Department It won't come either."

The white boss sighed and waved, "Come in, how do you want to check?"

"We want to investigate people who bought disposable mobile phones in the store within half a month."

The boss was a little embarrassed, "It's hard, many people pay in cash, even if I want to help you, I can't do anything."

Lucy said, "Then check the surveillance, as long as there are surveillance images, we can determine her identity by ourselves."

The boss spread his hands, "Aren't you kidding, watching the surveillance for half a month, you want to see the year of the monkey, and you say it won't affect my work."

Lucy asked, "Do you have a record of what you sell?"

"of course."

Lucy said, "That's easy. It's very simple to check the sale time of the product record and directly call up the monitoring of the corresponding time."

John snapped his fingers, "Good idea."

The boss had no choice but to follow the requirements of the two. Recently, he sold five disposable mobile phones, and two of them paid cash. These two people are also the focus of the investigation.

The boss called up the monitoring of the purchase of mobile phones by two people, one of whom was a black man in his 30s and the other a white woman in her early 20s.

John said, "I have a hunch that this woman is probably the one who reported the false alarm."

Lucy said, "The investigation is about evidence, not a hunch, and it may be this black man."

John asked, "Would you like a bet?"

Lucy rolled her eyes, "No, I'm not interested."

"Dingling..." John's cell phone rang, and he glanced at it, "Hey, someone who is interested is here."

John pressed the answer button, "Jackson, how is the case investigation going?"

Jackson said, "That's what I want to ask too."

"It was you who called me first."

"I suddenly remembered one thing, haven't we said the bet for the game..."

"Hey man, that's what I was going to say too." John laughed.

Jackson said, "What do you want to bet on?"

"What good idea do you have, it'd better be interesting."

"How about the loser running naked?"

John froze for a moment, then drew his voice, "Wow...that's such a bad idea.

but I like it. "

"It's decided."

"I can't wait to see you running naked."

"Me too."

The two hung up the phone, and Lucy on the side was a little speechless, "Do you have to play so big?"

"We already have the chance to win, so there is nothing to worry about." John was full of confidence.

"Based on what I know about Jackson, he wouldn't bet on you if he wasn't sure.

And don't forget, he's not alone, behind him is the Robbery and Murder Division.

On the investigation..." Lucy showed a look you know.

John said, "The Western Precinct is no worse than the Robbery and Murder Division."

Lucy stared at the other party for a moment, "Are you still worried about Jackson's transfer?"

John looked a little complicated, "No, he has the right to choose, it's just...

too suddenly.

Makes me feel……"

The three are rookies in the same period, and their relationship has always been very good. Lucy could understand John's thoughts and patted him on the shoulder, "Continue to investigate the case.

After graduating from college, I haven't seen people running naked for a long time.

Really have so little expectations. "

……

Custer Apartments.

James Robinson parked his car in the parking lot outside the apartment, looked left and right, then walked into the apartment and took the elevator up to the fifth floor.

James Robinson went to door 504 and knocked.

"Crack..." The door opened, and a white woman stood at the door, "James, why did you come to my house suddenly?"

"Suri, a group of police officers went to my house yesterday and turned my house upside down. Do you know about this?"

"God..." The woman named Su Rui sighed and stepped aside, "Come in and talk."

James Robinson walked into the room and looked at the environment in the room, "Suri, you really called the police."

"Yes."

"The police let me listen to the alarm tape, and I jumped."

"Did you tell them?"

"No, I won't betray you." James Robinson sat next to the white woman.

"James, don't get so close, I'm not used to it."

"Sorry, I'm just afraid that others will hear."

"This is my home, no one can hear it."

"Su Rui, why do you want to report my home address?"

"Dingling..." Suddenly, James Robinson's cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar cell phone number.

Just when James Robinson hesitated to answer, the phone rang twice and stopped automatically.

……

outside the room.

Luke has led people to the fifth floor of the apartment.

After hanging up the phone, Luke pointed to the door of room 504, "The bell came from here, James Robinson should go to this family.

Check the identity of the head of household. "

"Yes, sir." Jackson was full of enthusiasm.

……

After 10 minutes, Luke got the identity information and contact information of the head of the household.

Name of Head of Household, Suri Matic
Gender: Female
age, 20

Address, Custer Apartment, Room 504.

Social Security Number, 623-53-7366
Mobile number, 626 876 2578
The owner of the apartment is Suri Matic.

The false caller claimed to be Suri Shammari, with a different surname but the same first name.

The suspicion of the head of the household has risen again, but the evidence is still not enough.

Luke took out his cell phone again and dialed the cell phone number of the head of the household.

After a while, the phone was connected, and a woman's voice came out, "Who are you looking for?"

"Is it Miss Suri Matic?"

"It's me, what's the matter?"

"This is the guard room, you have a package arrived."

"Package? Where did the package come from?"

"New York."

"Are you sure it's my package? I don't seem to have a package from New York."

"I don't know either, but your contact number is written on the package."

"OK, I'll go back and get it tomorrow."

"bye."

Luke hung up the phone and looked at the rest of the team members, "Any thoughts?"

Little gangster, "The accent and voice are very similar to the informant."

Jackson said, "No, I'm sure it's the informant.

Captain, let's arrest someone. "

Luke thought for a while, "No, isn't it time to arrest people?"

Jackson asked, "Is it because there was no warrant?"

Luke said, "That's just one aspect.

I'm worried that the suspect has lost her disposable cell phone, and even if we rush in, she may not admit it. "

Jackson said, "Voiceprint identification can be used."

Luke said, "It is indeed possible, but this is a last resort, and it is best not to use it."

Jackson pressed, "Why?"

"First of all, there is a financial issue involved. This is just a case of false police reporting, which has already wasted a lot of police resources. If we spend money on voiceprint identification, even if the case is solved, the director will not praise us.

This is a very real problem, and we are responsible for taxpayers' money.

Another one, if the suspect cannot plead guilty, he may go to court, and it is also necessary to consider whether the result of the voiceprint identification will be accepted by the judge. "

Jackson said, "The evidence of the voiceprint comparison comes from the alarm recording, which will be accepted by the judge according to the regulations."

Xiao Hei shook his head, "Rules?
Don't take the theory as the truth, I find that you are really stubborn sometimes.

You have to understand one thing, whether the judge finally adopts it or not.

The decision-making power is no longer in the hands of the police.

Have you ever been to court?
If you've been, you won't want to go a second time. "

"Perhaps what you said makes sense, I accept it humbly." Jackson changed the subject and looked at Luke, "Captain, what shall we do next?
How do you get a suspect to plead guilty? "

Luke thought for a while, "We'll go in and arrest people after James Robinson leaves."

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the door of Room 504 opened and James Robinson left the room.

However, Luke did not order the arrest immediately.

It was another hour before Luke decided to make an arrest.

Jenny, in a pajamas, knocked on the door. "Boom..."

"Who are you?" A voice came from inside the door.

"I'm a new resident, I just went out to take out the garbage, and when I came back, I realized that I forgot to bring the key.

Can I borrow your mobile phone?I still have a key at my parents' house. "

"Squeak..."

The door opened, and a young woman handed it over with a mobile phone in her hand, "Use it."

"Thank you, what's your name?"

"Suri Matic."

"Crack."

Jenny directly handcuffed her wrists, "Suri Matic, you are under arrest."

The white woman froze for a moment, and when he realized it, Luke had already brought someone over.

Xiao Hei showed his arrest warrant, "Suri Matic, you are under arrest."

"Why did you arrest me?"

"Someone reported you as a false alarm."

Suri Matic denies, "No, I don't."

Luke showed the search warrant. "We're going to search your apartment."

Suri Matic's face was a little ugly, "You must have made a mistake, I have never done such a thing."

"Miss Matic, it's useless to argue." Luke led someone into the apartment room. The room was a mess, comparable to that of James Robinson's house.

Luke ordered his men to search, and he was in charge of taking notes for Suri Matic.

Luke got straight to the point, "Did you call the police at around ten o'clock yesterday morning?"

Suri Matic shook his head, "I didn't."

Luke stared at each other, seeing signs of lying.

"Miss Matic, since we found you, we have enough evidence. It is in your best interest to plead guilty now."

"Do you have any evidence?"

Luke took out the recording pen and played the false alarm recording.

Suri Matic listened to the voice inside, and his face became a little ugly.

"Miss Matic, don't you think this voice is very similar to yours?"

"It's a bit similar, but that's not me. Based on this recording, you say that I reported the false police, isn't it too arbitrary." Suri Matic took a deep breath.

"We have evidence."

"who?"

"I promise to keep his identity secret."

Suri Matic lowered his head and tapped his fingernails, "I still said that, you got it wrong."

Luke pressed, "What's your feud with James Robinson? Why did you kill him?"

"What did James Robinson tell you?"

"All that needs to be said."

Suri Matic showed a look of anger, "Sure enough, this bastard betrayed me, and he said just now that he likes me and won't betray me.

It sold me in the blink of an eye.

Why? "

Luke perfunctory, "You should ask him that."

Suri Matic pouted and said disdainfully, "I know without asking, that bastard wanted to sleep with me, but I refused.

So I became angry from embarrassment and used this method to take revenge on me!

This kind of rubbish, I have looked down on him all my life. "

Luke took advantage of the situation and asked, "Just because you look down on him, so you called the false police to tease him?"

"No, I... didn't mean it."

"What do you mean you didn't do it on purpose? The alarm recording can prove that you did it on purpose."

"It's not what you think. I didn't mean to hurt him."

"Why is that making false alarm calls? Do you think it's funny?"

"It's not that I want to fight, I...have to fight."

"Who forced you?"

"No one forced me."

"Then why did you fight? Don't you find that contradictory?"

"I played games with a few friends. We agreed that the loser would call the police. I didn't expect that I would lose...

So, I fulfilled my promise. "

"Then why give the address of James Robinson's house?"

Suri Matic sighed, "I was very nervous when I was on the phone and my mind was in a mess. When the operator asked me for my address, I... said an address indiscriminately.

I said it subconsciously, I thought I made it up.

It wasn't until I finished the call that I remembered that it was the address of James Robinson's house.

I don't know why I said that address, it just happened to be in my head. "

"game?"

"Yes, it's just a game."

"OK, it seems that you were not wronged by being arrested."
