LA Detective

Luke observed the other person's expression and asked, "Ma'am, do you know Danny Carter?"

"Yes, a strong black guy, and now his news is all on TV."

"November NO.18 night, have you seen Danny Carter in the community?"

"No."

Luke felt that the other party was lying, and tried, "But Danny Carter said that he seemed to have seen you at the time."

The black aunt asked back, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, that's what he said."

"It seems that our conversation should be over." The black aunt tilted her head, as if seeing off the guests.

Daisy said sincerely, "Madam, please wait a moment.

I'm Danny Carter's lawyer, who is now falsely accused and in a desperate situation.

need your help. "

The black aunt shook her head, "Don't be kidding.

He's a star, he's a rich man, I can't imagine his life.

Look at my life again...

I don't think I'm capable of helping him. "

Daisy said, "Danny Carter is also black. He grew up in a slum, and his growing environment is far inferior to this community.

He worked his way into being a football player, and you know how hard it is for a black kid.

Danny Carter is not the kind of guy you think, he has been funding the friends and relatives who grew up with him, he is not like those cold-blooded rich people.

Now, he has encountered the greatest predicament in his life, and he also needs a just person to help him overcome the difficulties.

Madame, only you can help him now. "

The black aunt showed hesitation and looked around, "Come in."

The furniture in the black aunt's house was a little old, but it was cleaned very cleanly. Luke was invited to sit on the sofa, "What do you want to drink?"

"Thank you Ma'am, we don't need anything." Luke politely declined and asked again, "Did you meet Danny Carter on the night of November [-]?"

The black aunt nodded, "Yes, he is not tall but very energetic."

"Was he with Billie Warwick at the time?"

"yes.

It was a beautiful car, and I was a little surprised to see Billie Warwick get out of the passenger compartment of the car. "

"Can you describe their body movements and attitude?"

"After Billie Warwick got out of the car, he walked in and opened the door first, and Danny Carter followed in.

Probably like this...

I didn't watch it too carefully at the time. After all, it was his private matter, and it would be very rude to stare at it all the time. "

"Did Danny Carter ever force Billie Warwick?"

"No."

"Danny Carter's car was stolen. The driving recorder in the car may prove his innocence. We need to get back that Porsche. Did you see the scene of the car being stolen?"

"No."

"Did you see any suspicious people around before the car was stolen?"

"Uh..." The black aunt showed hesitation, looked at Luke and then at Daisy, "Are you really not the police?"

Daisy took out a business card, "My name is Daisy, and there are my contact information and law firm on it."

The black aunt took the business card and nodded, "I did see a suspicious person nearby that night, looking at Billie Warwick's house with a mysterious look.

However, I didn't see him stealing the car. "

Luke asked, "Did you tell the police about this?"

"No.

I didn't see the man stealing the car.

Also, my son is still in jail and I don't trust the police.

Don't tell the outside world, I won't admit it when I go out.

That's all I know, and I can't help you with the rest. "The black aunt acted like I didn't want to cause trouble.

Luke asked, "Ma'am, does that suspicious man have transportation?"

"No."

"Can you describe what he looks like?"

"He was a black man. It was dark at the time, and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his hairstyle was rather special, with dreadlocks and the hair on the left side was shaved."

Luke pressed, "How tall is he? How old is he?"

"It looks like he's only 30 or [-] years old, about the same height as you."

"What kind of clothes were you wearing?"

"Looks like a black top and dark blue jeans." After the black aunt finished speaking, she asked, "Are you really not a policeman?"

"I'm a detective."

Daisy took out her wallet and handed the other three hundred dollars, "Madam, thank you for your help."

"Ugh... what does this mean?"

"It's a little thank you from Danny Carter, I will ask him to reimburse him."

The black aunt showed gratitude, "Thank you, I am sure that you are not the police. Not only will the police not pay you, but they may even arrest me."

Daisy glanced at Luke and smiled, "Ma'am, you are so humorous."

After the two left the house, Daisy asked, "Any thoughts?"

Luke said, "That black man with dreadlocks sounds suspicious.

Although I don't know his name and appearance, but his hairstyle is quite special, so it is relatively easy to be recognized. "

"Where are we going now?"

"Continue to visit, maybe we can get more clues."

The two visited until evening, but luck seemed to have run out, and the neighbors failed to provide more valuable clues.

The two had dinner at an Italian restaurant and then returned to Daisy's house.

Daisy's house was bigger and more comfortable, with a big bathtub for two.

After taking the mandarin duck bath, Luke rested on the bed and played with his mobile phone.

Daisy put on her pajamas and sat at the table looking at the computer.

Luke asked, "Is there work to be done?"

"Go to sleep first."

"Did the visit in the afternoon delay your work?"

"No, I just want to see what's new on the Internet.

This kind of celebrity fitness case has received a lot of attention, and many reporters will do follow-up reports.

Those pervasive reporters are likely to unearth some valuable clues. As lawyers, we must always pay attention to the trend of online public opinion. "

"I'll help you find it together." Luke checked the news on the tablet.

In the past, Luke used the police method to investigate and rarely paid too much attention to the news media. The reason is very simple. The detective hired by Carter, Luke has yet to have direct contact with Billie Warwick.

This case has attracted a lot of attention, and many reporters interviewed it. They have their own news channels, and they may be able to find some valuable clues. Of course, for the sake of ratings, the news broadcast by reporters and TV stations will also be somewhat watery and exaggerated. , Whether it is worth adopting requires your own experience and judgment.

There are many and varied news reports about Danny Carter on the Internet.

Some reporters even found out about Danny Carter staying in the hotel, and tried to break into the hotel room for an interview, but were persuaded to return by the hotel staff.

Danny Carter lived in a hotel and never left home, so the reporter couldn't see anyone and couldn't interview him.

Some reporters also targeted Billie Warwick and monitored her every move near Billie Warwick's house. However, Billie Warwick did not leave the house for the past two days and refused. All media interviews.

The reporters are not idle either, they will still make some messy reports.

Interviews with Danny Carter's family and teams, even the fans.

Someone also interviewed Billie Warwick's neighbors and where she worked, and someone targeted her boyfriend and tried to interview her boyfriend's feelings.

Luke felt that the reporter was either heartless or wicked.

However, people are curious, and Luke also wants to know what Billie Warwick's boyfriend thinks.

Clicking on the news video, I found that the reporter first approached Billie Warwick's boyfriend, but the other party refused the interview. The reporter was not discouraged, and went to the place where Billie Warwick's boyfriend worked to interview.

Interviews with Billie Warwick's boyfriend's co-workers revealed that her boyfriend worked the night shift at a 24-hour convenience store, which explains why her boyfriend wasn't home that night.

When interviewing a convenience store employee, a shot suddenly flashed, and Luke spotted a suspicious black man.

This black man has dreadlocks and shaved hair on the left side, which is very close to the suspicious man image described by the black aunt.

The black man with dreadlocks is wearing a convenience store uniform and is likely to be a colleague of Billie Warwick's boyfriend. The suspicion of the black man with dreadlocks has further risen.

Since the man with dreadlocks is a colleague of Billie Warwick's boyfriend, why would he hang around the other's house when Billie Warwick's boyfriend is on night shift?
Could it be that Billie Warwick's boyfriend had already discovered that she might be hooking up with other men, so he asked his colleagues to catch him?
No, it doesn't make sense, a normal person wouldn't do such a thing.

Then the behavior of this man with dreadlocks is even more suspicious.

……

the next morning.

Luke arrived early in the morning near the convenience store where Billie Warwick's boyfriend, Ledo Geithner, worked.

A black Ford sedan was parked in a parking space near the convenience store.

A black man got out of the car, in his 20s, about the same height as Luke, with dreadlocks and shaved hair on the left side. It was the suspicious man Luke was looking for.

Luke stepped forward and greeted, "Hey, buddy, I'm a reporter from csxb radio station, can I give you a brief interview?"

"Interview with what? About Reido Geithner?"

"Yes, do you know his girlfriend Billie Warwick?"

"Uh... a hot, fun girl."

"What do you think of her relationship with Reido Geithner?"

The black man with dreadlocks smiled, "I don't want to be on TV, especially in this way."

Luke said, "Actually, I am a radio reporter, there is no video or recording, I just want to know something privately.

Many radio listeners enjoy similar gossip. "

The man with dreadlocks shrugged, "I also like to listen to gossip, but I have to go to work now."

Luke took out his wallet and handed the other fifty dollars, "Man, it will take up your time for a while, not too long."

The man with dreadlocks looked at Luke's wallet and licked his lips, "One is not enough."

Luke pulled out another fifty.

"At least two hundred dollars."

Luke pretended to be in pain, "It's too expensive."

"Hey, there are many reporters who want to interview me. This is big news. I won't say anything without two hundred dollars." The man with dreadlocks held out his hand to ask for it.

Luke took out a total of two hundred dollars and handed it to the other party, "I hope your news is worth two hundred dollars."

The man with dirty braids put away the cash and said with a smile, "What do you want to ask?"

"How's your relationship with Reido Geithner?"

"We are not only colleagues, but also good friends. I was desperate, had no job, and almost became a homeless man. He introduced me to this job."

"What do you think of Billie Warwick and Reido Geithner's relationship?"

"They have been dating for more than a year, and their relationship is very stable. As far as I know, they even plan to get engaged. Unfortunately, this happened..."

"You know the case of Billie Warwick being raped by the football player Danny Carter?"

"Of course, it's big news."

"According to relevant news reports, Danny Carter did not strengthen Billie Warwick. The two did it out of their own will. What do you think?"

"Impossible, Billie Warwick is not that kind of woman, she has a deep relationship with Raymond Geithner, and she will never do anything to betray Raymond Geithner.

Redo Geithner spends most of his time with his girlfriend when he is not at work.

I heard Reido Geithner say that his girlfriend had too much to drink that night and the jerk offered to take her home.

She was a fan of that bastard, so she didn't refuse.

In the end, that bastard took advantage of her and bullied her...

It's as simple as that, Danny Carter is a strong offender.

If he hadn't been a rich man he would have been convicted, instead of living in a fancy hotel and enjoying himself.

this is not fair. "

Luke tentatively said, "From your tone, it seems that you know Billy Warwick very well? Are you two also friends?"

"Reido Geithner and I are good friends, we get together a lot, and Billie Warwick comes over sometimes.

Yes, we are friends too.

I feel sorry for what happened to her.

If I saw it, I would definitely beat that bastard Danny Carter. "

Luke continued to probe, "I heard that Danny Carter drove a Porsche 911 when he sent Billie Warwick home, and later I heard that the car was stolen. Do you know about this?"

"Sorry, I don't know much about this matter." The man with dreadlocks frowned slightly, crossing his chest with his hands.

"It's a pity, it's a great car, I've always wanted to buy a Porsche 911, but never even had a chance to test drive it.

Have you ever driven a Porsche 911? "

"Drove it once...in a dream." The man with dreadlocks smiled and changed the subject, "Dude, today's interview is over, I should go to work."

"I don't know your name yet?"

"You don't need to know." The black man with dreadlocks waved his hand and entered the convenience store.

Luke took a photo of his Ford sedan. As long as there is a license plate number, it is not difficult to find the identity and information of the owner.

Luke was also curious, what role did this black man with dreadlocks play in this incident?
