LA Detective

Chapter 442 Locked
Eight o'clock in the evening, Tapik Bar.

This is a bar located near a black neighborhood.

At this time, the number of people in the bar has increased, and the bar counter is full of people.

Luke also walked into the bar, glanced around, and locked on the figure of a black man.

Luke walked to the round table in the corner and sat opposite the black man, who was his informant Alek Lauer.

"Hey, Boss, thank you for what happened last time. I will return the bail money to you as soon as possible." Alek Lauer's tone was full of gratitude.

Luke said, "It was my uncle who went through the bail procedures last time. I heard that you were thrown out of the car by him halfway?"

"Yeah, but I don't blame him, no one wants to sit with a burglar."

Luke explained, "My uncle also works in a supermarket, and there used to be a guy who used to go to his supermarket to buy zero yuan.

Once he couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward to stop the other party, and accidentally injured the other party.

Because of this incident, my uncle was arrested by the police and almost suffered a big loss, so he is more sensitive about this kind of thing, not against you.

I'm also to blame for my negligence, I shouldn't have let him bail you out. "Having said that, Luke couldn't think of other candidates for a while.

"I understand, and I don't want to buy for zero yuan, but I really need money."

"What happened?"

Alek Raul looked a little complicated, "You have helped me a lot, and I will solve it myself."

Luke was not a rushing person either, so he changed the subject and asked, "Did you go shopping for zero yuan again this morning?"

"I..." Alec Lauer hesitated, a little embarrassed, "How do you know?"

"You went to Rogier's?"

"Yeah, I'm having a rough day today.

Just finished picking something and calculating...

There was a shooting in that supermarket. If I hadn't run fast, I'm afraid I'd have to ask you to help collect the body.

Compared with that pervert who kills without blinking an eye, I think I am too cute. "

Luke pressed, "Did you see the shooter?"

Alec Lauer nodded, "That's right, but he wrapped himself up tightly and was fully armed, so I didn't dare to look at him too much.

Even if he was standing in front of me now, I wouldn't recognize him. "

"Now I am in charge of the investigation of this case. You carefully recall the situation at that time. If you can provide valuable clues, I will help you apply for an informant fee, which can make your money easier."

"Wow, this is a high-profile case, and a lot of people are talking about it.

I didn't know that you were investigating the case, otherwise, I would have taken the initiative to tell you. "

"It's not too late now." Luke took out a photo of Darcy Jordan, "Have you seen this man near the supermarket?"

Alec Lauer carefully looked at the photo, "I haven't seen him before."

Luke continued, "Have you ever seen a young white man in a gray baseball cap, he should be wearing a beige hoodie and blue trousers."

Alec Lauer recalled for a while, "Yes, I seem to have seen people dressed like this. And there are not many white people around, so it's really eye-catching."

There is a play, Luke continued to ask, "Have you seen his appearance clearly?"

Alec Lauer didn't answer, and took out his mobile phone, "After the shooting, I ran outside the supermarket.

I didn't leave right away. It was a big event. I was very curious, so I hid in a corner and took pictures with my mobile phone, as if I captured the person you mentioned. "

Alec Lauer dug out the video and handed it to Luke.

Luke took the phone and checked it carefully, and sure enough, he saw a young white man wearing a gray baseball cap.

The white man's outfit was consistent with Antoine Powell's description. He was in a hurry and didn't notice that Alek Lauer was shooting a video, and one of the scenes happened to capture the appearance of the white youth.

He was very young, probably underage, with a complex look on his face, nervous, excited, and a little confused.

Luke returned the phone to Alec Lauer, "Send me the video later, and I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Alek Lauer laughed, "So I've done meritorious service?"

"Yeah, you're a lucky guy."

A voice sounded in Luke's mind, 【Adventure Card has been activated and used. 】

……

the next morning.

When Luke came to the Robbery and Murder Division, he immediately interrogated Dalcey Jordan.

Compared with yesterday, Dalcey Jordan's eyes were less aggressive and more indignant.

Luke sat across the desk and asked, "Are you still used to living here?"

Dulcey Jordan gave a middle finger.

Luke was not angry either, he took out a photo and put it in front of Darcy Jordan, "Do you know him?"

Darcy Jordan glanced at it, but didn't answer.

Luke smiled, "Do you know why you are here?"

"Because that son of a bitch shooter set me up."

"Then do you want to catch him?"

Although he knew that Luke had ulterior motives, Darcy Jordan couldn't refuse. He hoped to catch the bastard who framed him more than Luke. "Is the white guy in the photo framing me?"

"It's not sure yet. We only know that he has been near the supermarket that was shot. Do you know him?"

"Yes, I know this white trash."

Luke asked, "Is it one of those two people you confessed to?"

"No."

Luke "..."

How many people have you fucking offended?

"What's his name?"

"Brown Bryant."

"What's the relationship between the two of you?"

"I was in the same middle school as this jerk,"

"Luther King No. [-] Middle School?"

"Yes, it's a black school just by the name. I can't figure out why that white guy would go to my school, damn white trash."

"Do you have conflicts with Brown Bryant?"

"Yes, every time I see this white guy, I always feel that there is something wrong with the way he looks at me. Once, I couldn't hold back and beat him up.

This kid was a tough guy, he neither cried out for pain nor begged for mercy.

But that look in his eyes... I'll never forget it.

I didn't have any conflicts with him after that, I didn't expect this bastard to hold a grudge so much, he was dead, and it would be miserable. Dalsey Jordan gritted his teeth with hatred. If Brown Bryant hadn't framed him, the police wouldn't have gone to his house to arrest people, and he wouldn't have been arrested for harboring drugs.

"Yesterday I asked who you offended, and specifically mentioned the physical characteristics. Why didn't you say his name?"

"Come on, I have offended a lot of people, this white boy is not ranked at all."

"It seems that you are not at fault for being arrested.

Do you know his contact information or home address? "

"I hit so many people that a diary wouldn't suffice if everyone had to remember, and I'm not in the habit of keeping a diary."

"Which class is he in?"

"We are on the same floor. If I remember correctly, he should be in Class 11, Grade 4. This class has the most white men."

"Does he have any close classmates or friends?"

"I don't know, this white guy is usually a loner, and his mind is not normal at first glance.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was the perverted shooter, a lot of white people are perverted, much more perverted than us black people.

Yes, he is a pervert. "

"The two of you may still have a chance to meet, you can tell him in person."

Darcy Jordan clenched his fists tightly, "I will blow his leather swallows, I will!"

Luke was a little dumbfounded, "I wish you all a good time."

Luke got the news he wanted, returned to the office, slapped his hands, and attracted everyone's attention, "Guys, I found out about the suspicious white young man that Antoine Powell said had appeared in the supermarket."

Matthew spread his hands and asked in confusion, "How did you find out?"

The deputy team was also a little surprised, "That's right, we are clearly investigating this aspect."

Luke said, "I had an informant who happened to be near the supermarket. After the shooting in the supermarket, he fled outside the supermarket. Out of curiosity, he took a video and just captured some people who escaped from the supermarket, including that Suspicious white youth.

The informant happened to be short of money, so he wanted to exchange some informant fees with me. "

Later, Luke played the video, "I asked Darcy Jordan to identify the screenshot of the video, and he recognized the identity of this white youth.

The white youth named Brown Bryant was studying in Luther King No. 11 Middle School, Class 4, Grade [-].

Matthew, look up his details. "

"yes, sir."

The deputy team watched the video carefully, and found that the age, appearance, hat, clothes, and trousers all matched, and said enviously, "You are such a lucky guy."

Luke gave the deputy team a thumbs up, "This shows that your investigation is correct."

The deputy team sighed, "It's just that my luck is too bad.

Send me the video later, I want to see where this guy has gone, maybe I can track his whereabouts through the video. "

"as you wish."

A few minutes later, Matthew contacted the teacher of Luther King No. 11 Middle School and confirmed that Brown Bryant was indeed a student in Class 4, Grade [-], but he did not come to school today.

The teacher provided his mother's cell phone number and home address.

Luke greeted everyone, "Guys, pack up your equipment, we are going to act."

"Yes, sir."

Karst community.

Luke found the home of the suspect Brown Bryant based on the address reserved by the school.

This community is not far from the Rogier supermarket. The environment of the community is average. Most of the residents are black residents, and there are some Mexicans. There are few white residents.

Brown Bryant lives in No. 308 of the community.

This is a gray one-story house, which looks a little dilapidated from a distance, but the yard is fairly clean.

A black man was repairing a wooden fence with a hammer.

Jackson frowned slightly, "Did we find the wrong place?"

Luke glanced at the phone and said, "The address is correct."

Jackson speculated, "Could it be that the suspect gave a false address at school?"

Luke also felt this possibility, and asked Xiao Hei to get out of the car to check.

Luke stepped closer and asked, "Hey sir, is this the Karst community?"

The black man put down the hammer in his hand and stood up, "That's right, what do you want?"

"Do you know Brown Bryant?"

The black man clapped his hands, "Tell me, what trouble did this bad boy get into?"

Xiao Hei asked curiously, "What's your relationship with him?"

"I'm his father, stepfather to be exact."

"We're here to find Brown Bryant, do you know where he is?"

"I don't know. That little bastard drove away my car secretly yesterday morning and never came back."

Xiao Hei took out a photo, "Is this your son?"

"Yes, if he admits it."

"It seems that the relationship between your father and son is not very good?"

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it? Who are you? What can you do with him?"

Xiao Hei showed his police badge, "We are Lapd."

The black man showed such an expression, "What did this kid do again?"

"Sir, what's your name?"

"Ronnie Bryant."

"Have you been to the Rogier supermarket near the community?"

"Yes, that supermarket is very good, I heard that the owner behind the scenes is a Korean.

In terms of doing business, they are indeed more talented than black people. We often go to that supermarket to shop and are made a lot of money by that supermarket. "

"There was a shooting in that supermarket yesterday morning, did you know?"

"Yes, I know, but that has nothing to do with me." Ronnie Bryant froze for a moment and opened his mouth wide. "Could it be that you are looking for him because of the supermarket shooting?"

Luke said, "Sir, don't be nervous. Someone saw him near the supermarket. We just wanted to ask him to find out what was going on in the supermarket. That's all."

"Whether you believe it or not? But I really don't know where he is now."

"When was the last time you saw him?"

"Yesterday morning, no, exactly the night before.

I woke up this morning and saw that the car was gone, and I don't know when he drove away.This kid has no idea what respect is.I have tried my best to teach him. "

"Sir, you said that Brown Bryant took your car."

"Yes, I'm afraid the bad boy may well have been sold."

"Can you tell me about your car?"

"Of course, a white Volkswagen, my daughter loves that car."

"What's the license plate number?"

"4let694"

Luke wrote down the license plate number and sent it to the chat group.

Typed instructions, "We arrived at Brown Bryant's house. He may have left in this car. Check the trajectory of this car."

Luke put away his phone and continued to ask, "Sir, besides you, does Brown Bryant have any other relatives?"

"Of course, and his mother and sister, if he admits it."

"I want to talk to them."

Ronnie Bryant shook his head, "I don't think that's a good idea."

"Brown Bryant's mother is also his guardian, and I think she has a right to know all of this."

Ronnie Bryant stepped aside, "OK, you can do whatever you want!"

Luke and Xiao Hei walked to the door of the house, and Ronnie Bryant followed after seeing the situation, "Let me open the door."

Ronnie Bryant opened the door and yelled, "Honey, the Los Angeles police are here. They want to talk to you, it's best not to bring the kids out,"

After a while, a white woman came out of the bedroom, "What are the police here for?"

Ronnie Bryant showed a helpless look, pointing to Luke and Xiao Hei, "You should ask yourself!"

Luke looked at each other, with brown hair and a plump figure, "Ma'am, what's your name?"

"Theresa Bryant," the white woman asked back. "Sir, are you the police?"

Xiao Hei flashed his police badge again.

The woman's eyebrows were tightly locked together, "What can you do for me?"

"To be precise, we are here to find Brown Bryant. Since you are his guardian, we will talk to you first."

"My son, what happened to him?"

"Do you know where he is?"

"I don't know. I didn't see him yesterday."

"When was the last time you saw him?"

"It should be the night before yesterday. He went back to his bedroom very early and hasn't come out since. When I got up the next day, he was gone."

"Did he contact you during this period?"

"No, what happened to him? If you don't tell me what happened? I won't answer any of your questions."

"Yesterday morning, there was a shooting at Rogier's supermarket, you know?"

"Yes, I know, but what does that have to do with my son?"

"Some witnesses claimed to have seen him in a supermarket, and we want to ask him about it."

"What do you mean asking about something? You suspect that he has something to do with the shooting."

"Don't be nervous. This is just a routine inquiry. We will ask all the people who have been to the supermarket."

Theresa Bryant breathed a sigh of relief, "But I really don't know where he is."

"Does he have a gun?"

"No. He's not yet 18 and can't buy a gun."

"Does he have any better friends?"

Theresa Bryant hesitated, "I don't know very well either."

"Has he been to Rogier's?"

"Yes."

"Did he have a conflict with that supermarket guy?"

"No, absolutely not."

"Has he had any close contacts recently?"

"Well, I did see a guy come to him recently."

"What's that person's name?"

"I don't know, I only saw a white man in his 30s."

"Can you tell me about his physical features?"

"He wears a black hat, is about 1.8 meters tall, and looks quite strong.

I can't remember the rest.

Brown is older and doesn't like me asking too much. "

Ronnie Bryant added, "That would be a truck driver."

Luke asked, "How do you know that?"

"I saw the T-shirt he was wearing had the Trucking Association logo on it."

Luke nodded, "Can you guys get in touch with Brown Bryant?"

"No."

"Does he have a cell phone?"

"No."

"Has he ever run away from home before?"

"No."

"If he comes back, I hope you can contact me as soon as possible." Luke took out a business card and handed it to Brown Bryant.

Theresa Bryant showed a nervous look, "My son can't be the gunman who attacked the supermarket, he doesn't have the guts."

Luke said, "You're right, we don't think he was the shooter either.

I just want to ask him if he has seen the shooter, and it would be better if he can give us some clues about the shooter, that's all. "

Theresa Bryant breathed a sigh of relief, "When he gets home, I will definitely ask him to go to the police station and explain it to you personally."

At this moment, the bedroom door opened, and a little girl of mixed race came out, "Mom, has Brown Bryant gotten into trouble again?"

"Oli, this is none of your business, go back to the house immediately."

The little girl spread her hands, "I knew it would happen.

He wanted to leave this home a long time ago, and even drove away the only car in our family.Mom, thank you for giving birth to a good brother for me.

I love him to death! "

Theresa Bryant's face became more and more ugly, "Shut up and go back to the bedroom."

"Mr. and Madam Bryant, thank you for your assistance." Luke greeted and left with Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei got into the car and saw Ronnie Bryant returning to the yard to continue repairing the wooden fence.

He said with some emotion, "I suddenly feel a little glad that I grew up in a single-parent family.

I love my mother, she is the greatest woman in the world. "

　Tell me 【Adventure Card】

　　Some book lovers may feel that the appearance of the Adventure Card is too buggy and will destroy the logic of the case.

　　Since the Adventure Card is so powerful, Luke should stop doing anything and just wait for the Adventure to fail.

　　In fact, the Adventure Card is not that powerful.

　　The police have been tracking down the white youth who is the suspected shooter through the description of the black boy Antoine Powell.

　　The deputy team has also been checking and monitoring to find clues.

　　To put it bluntly, even if there is no adventure card, the deputy team can still find it through monitoring, but it will take more time.

　　The adventure card just adds a way to find and make the case more interesting.

　　Otherwise, there are only a few ways to catch the murderer, and the writing is bad, and everyone will be bored.

　　It is also a reason to capture the gambler and activate the adventure card before.

　　The FBI has speculated that the gambling king will have plastic surgery and escaped, and is also looking for a plastic surgery clinic through Zheng Lagong's relationship.

　　If you find it this way, it's not interesting.

　　So, I had Luke accidentally get word about the plastic surgery clinic from Blue Hair.

　　Of course, this is also a foreshadowing from the beginning, which adds to the fun of the case.

　　Generally speaking, the Adventure Card will not affect the investigation of the case, it is just another way to let Luke get the news one step ahead.

　　Luck is also a form of strength.

　　In addition, this chapter was written out by voice, and then revised by computer.

　　If the punctuation or sentence is not smooth, please help me out.

　　I'm also in the groping phase.

　　If you sit and type all the time, you will be useless, and you can only continue to study better writing methods.
