LA Detective

Inside the garage.

In a Mazda convertible, a black man with dreadlocks was tied to the seat of the car with tape over his mouth.

Luke put on a pair of white gloves, "I know you're awake, don't pretend to be asleep."

The dreadlocked man didn't respond.

Luke covered his mouth with his left hand, clenched his fist with his right hand, and slammed into his stomach hard.

"Woooo..." The man with the dreadlocks let out a painful sound, his eyes widened bigger than copper bells.

Luke sighs, "I really don't like this.

I will take off the tape on your mouth, don't yell, don't yell, let's talk calmly, it's good for each other.

OK? "

The man with dreadlocks broke out in a cold sweat, and nodded slightly.

"Good boy." Luke took away his left hand and peeled off the tape on the man's mouth with dreadlocks. The man gasped, "What do you want?"

"I should be asking you this sentence." Luke pointed at the Mazda convertible, "Is this a Porsche 911?
What's your purpose in tricking me into the garage and sneaking up on me from behind?
Are you trying to kill me? "

"No, I didn't want to kill you, I just didn't want you to call the police.

You've been pestering me to... have to. "

"Shit, call yourself a victim.

If I hadn't been vigilant enough, my head would have blossomed by now.

I am very angry, you have to give me an explanation, otherwise, your end will be miserable. "

"What do you want to explain?"

"Your attitude makes me very uncomfortable. You should feel guilty for attacking me behind your back, but instead of seeing guilt on your face, I see resentment and anger.

It's wrong for you to do this, it's very bad. "

"Fuck, what on earth are you thinking? You despicable villain, you actually strangled me naked from behind. If you have the ability, let me go, and let's have a serious fight."

Luke smiled, "You were the one who sneaked up on me from behind first, and, even if I let you go, you can't beat me."

Hearing Luke's response, Quentin Haggs continued to use the aggressive method, "If it wasn't for that gun, I would have beaten you to the ground, you coward."

Luke said, "Are you not convinced?"

"That's right, if you have the ability, subdue me openly, as long as you convince me to lose, I will tell you everything you want to know, including the whereabouts of the Porsche 911."

"You admit to stealing the car?"

Quentin Haggs showed a provocative look, "If you want to know, just fight me openly, like a real tough guy."

"Are you a real tough guy?"

"You'll know when you try it."

"As you wish." Luke glanced around, as if looking for something.

"what are you going to do?"

Luke made a silence gesture, "Tough guy, no matter what happens next, don't shout loudly or resist, otherwise, your end will be even worse."

After finishing speaking, Luke found a towel and spread it on Quentin Haggs's face, and found a watering can from the garage, and filled it with water in the sink in the garage.

Quentin Haggs was already trembling with fright when he heard the sound of receiving water, "nonono, please, don't do this, you can't do this to me... woo..."

When water poured on Quentin Haggs' face, he instinctively closed his mouth, leaving only a painful 'whimper' sound...

Water splashed on his face through the towel, and Quentin Haggs kept his mouth tightly shut. The water rushing into his nostrils made him extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't breathe. Once he breathed, the water would flow into his nose and mouth, making him even more painful.

Waterboarding is completely different from the feeling of holding your breath in water. The water flow keeps hitting the nostrils, coupled with the strong pressure, it will soon make people's breathing disorder, and breathing hard, but breathing will choke the water, which will only make it more uncomfortable.

In less than 40 seconds, Quentin Haggs couldn't hold it anymore, the water rushed into his mouth and nose, his body struggled and twisted violently...

Luke has been observing the other party's reaction, feeling that the other party has reached a critical point before stopping watering, "Don't shout, otherwise, I will continue..."

Luke lifted the towel, Quentin Haggs showed a painful expression, water kept overflowing from his mouth and nose, and he kept retching.

"Control your body and don't make any noise, otherwise, I will cover your face with a towel again."

"Please, please don't do this, please." Quentin Haggs begged in a low voice, unable to distinguish whether it was water or tears and snot.

"Tough guy, how are you feeling now?"

"I'm not a tough guy, and I won't be a tough guy anymore.

Whatever you want to know, I will tell you. "

"This is only the first round. I want to try again. I think you can persist."

"nonono, please don't do this, I'm going to die, I'll tell you anything, anything is fine.

You're the tough guy, you're the real tough guy. "

"Well, the biggest shortcoming of me is that I am too soft-hearted." Actually, Luke really wanted to try again, but he was worried that making a big noise would cause unnecessary trouble.

The reason why Luke used waterboarding was because he was attacked by the opponent, and he felt a fire in his heart.

The second is because the other party lied and refused to tell the whereabouts of the Porsche 911.

The third reason is that Luke also wants to multi-craft.

As a policeman, it is inevitable to encounter some difficult suspects. China has its own set of methods, but that set of methods is not suitable for use in Los Angeles.

During this period of investigation in Los Angeles, Luke also felt that he lacked the means to deter suspects, just like the bastard Quentin Haggs, he attacked Luke from behind, how could he suppress the other party if he didn't show some ruthlessness?
Waterboarding is a very good method. The human body is [-]% to [-]% water, and people cannot live without water. Using waterboarding will not leave wounds.

Luke gained experience by practicing with Quentin Haggs.

Luke looked at Quentin Haggs, "Actually, I'm a good person, and I don't want to treat you like this. Can we talk frankly?"

"Yes, I listen to you."

"Why are you attacking me?"

"I'm worried that you will call the police and arrest me."

"You stole the Porsche 911?"

"I stole it."

"Why steal the car?"

"I saw Billie Warwick get out of the Porsche the other day, and I was so angry that I stole the car in a flash."

"Why can't the police find the location of the car?"

"I took off the car's positioning device."

"Do you have a history of theft?"

"Yes, I've made mistakes before, but it's been a long time since I did."

"What made you go back to your old business then? To avenge a friend?"

Quentin Haggs hesitated for a moment, "No...I just feel betrayed by Billie Warwick."

Luke pressed, "What's your relationship with Billie Warwick?"

"Two months ago, Billie Warwick and Raymond Geithner got into a fight, and they both got into a big fight, and then Raymond Geithner drove away.

I was also there at the time, and it was not easy to get a taxi in that place, so I just thought about sending Billie Warwick home.

But she refused to go back to Reido Geithner's place...

I took her to the hotel.

That day... I also drank... and played poker in a daze. Quentin Haggs shook his head slightly and sighed, "We've had a few more dates, and that feeling is great...

I know it's not right, but love can't be controlled..."

Luke asked, "What did you see that night, describe it carefully."

"I knew that Redo Geithner was working the night shift that day, so I wanted to date Billie Warwick, and I bought her a present to surprise her...

But unexpectedly, she gave me a surprise first, she married a rich man, a superstar.

When I saw Danny Carter come out of the cab, I recognized him. Who doesn't know the man of the Los Angeles football team.

At that time, I knew that I lost, and I lost completely.

I was furious and I felt cheated. Quentin Haggs' eyes were red, "I watched them enter the house, unable to control my anger, and stole his car." "

"You were angry?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you beat up Danny Carter instead of stealing his car?"

"I thought about beating him up, but Danny Carter is a rich man, if I beat him, his lawyer will definitely send me to jail.

In addition, Reido Geithner will know about me and Billie Warwick...

He is my friend after all, and I haven't figured out how to face him yet. "

Luke was a little speechless, it's time for you to start showing loyalty.

Quentin Haggs continued, "I was thinking that as long as I steal the car in time, I can mess up Billie Warwick and Danny Carter's date, and the matter will be solved."

Luke laughed, "It's a pity that you are too slow to steal cars."

Quentin Haggs sighed, "I didn't expect them to be so impatient... It's simply too shameless."

"Where's that Porsche 911?"

"I was worried about being found by the police, so I hid it in an abandoned factory, where few people would go, and I was going to wait for a while before disposing of it.

I can take you to that car, but please don't hand me over to the police. "Quentin Haggs showed a begging look.

Luke kept staring at the other person's expression, and his face was still full of panic and fear. Under such strong emotions, it was difficult for Luke to see whether the other person was lying.

However, his statement coincided with Xiao Hei's investigation.

Before, Luke asked Xiao Hei to investigate the trace of the car, but Xiao Hei has not found any relevant information.

On the contrary, it corroborates with Quentin Haggs' confession that the Porsche 911 has not been sold yet, so Xiao Hei naturally cannot find any clues about the car.

Luke asked, "Did you move anything in the car?"

"I removed the car's positioning device."

"what about others?"

"I also took cash, ID and a dash cam."

"Where are the documents and driving recorder?"

"I put it in the tin cabinet in the garage where the sundries piled up."

Luke scanned the garage and quickly found the metal cabinet. After opening it, he found the driving recorder and ID.

Luke checked the content of the driving recorder, and the video inside was not deleted.

Luke copied a copy on his tablet and said, "How do you want to fix things like this?"

Quentin Haggs said with a vibrato, "I listen to you."

"I will give you two options, the first option, I will call the police and let the police arrest you for stealing a car.

Option two, you put the dash cam back in the car and put the Porsche 911 in the spot I specified.

I act like it never happened. "

"I want the second option, and I will put the car where you specify."

"Park near the Cooma Building on Stillwell Avenue within an hour."

"No problem, I promise to finish."

"very good.

I know you'll feel resentful..."

Before Luke finished speaking, Quentin Haggs interrupted him, "nonono, I didn't, and I didn't dare.

As long as you let me go, I will pretend nothing happened. "

"I can feel your sincerity, this should be your real thought at this time.

But people are always fickle, forget the pain when the scar is healed.

It's okay, I'll give you a chance for revenge. "Luke finished cleaning the site, opened the garage door,
"We will meet again."

Luke was not worried that the other party would call the police. First, the other party stole the Porsche 911, and his buttocks were not clean, so he did not dare to call the police easily.

Second, it's useless for him to call the police. There are no obvious injuries on his body, and there is no way to prove that Luke hurt him.

Luke was careful when tying him up, taking off his coat and trousers and wrapping them around his arms and legs, with barely visible strangle marks on his wrists and legs.

The bruises on the abdomen were also not proven to be linked to Luke.

In the absence of sufficient evidence, he could not convict Luke even if he called the police, and the identities of the two were very different. The police and the judge would most likely believe Luke's words, and they might even convict him of framing or assaulting the police.

After doing all this, Luke made a half circle around the city, cleaned up some things again, and then met Daisy to turn in the task at the Marriott Hotel.

When we arrived downstairs in the hotel, an hour had passed, and Luke called John.

"Hey Luke, I hear you're on vacation, how are you doing?"

"Excellent, how about you?"

"I'm on the night shift today, and I'm just starting now. Would you like to have a drink tomorrow morning?"

"No, I don't have the habit of drinking morning wine, if you dare to disturb my sleep, you will die.

Who are you partnering with today? "

"Lucy, what's the matter?"

"I have a gift for you."

"what gift?"

"You'll find out right now near the Cooma Building on Stillwell Avenue."

"Hey, it's quite mysterious, which makes me a little bit looking forward to it."

"Remember to buy me a drink at night next time." Luke hung up the phone.

Daisy asked, "You want them to catch car thieves?"

Luke glanced at his watch, "If everything goes well, the car thief should have put the car at the designated place and left.

John would not meet him, nor would he have a chance to catch him.

I generally don't overdo things. "

Luke really didn't have the idea of ​​arresting Quentin Haggs. Once Quentin Haggs was caught, he would probably bite Luke randomly and accuse Luke of hurting him.

Although Luke is sure to clear the suspicion, there is no need to make a fuss.

There are many ways to deal with a small person like Quentin Haggs. Even if it hurts the enemy by a thousand and self-damages a hundred, it is considered a loss for Luke.

He doesn't deserve it.

Luke's purpose is to find out the contents of the dash cam, remove the suspicion for Danny Carter, and get his own commission smoothly.

Now that he has obtained the video from the driving recorder and successfully completed the task, why bother.
