LA Detective

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Mary pushed open the door of the office of a squadron, "Hey, guys, the appraisal report you want is out."

Jackson stood up, "Good news, or bad news."

"Good question...it really stumps me." Mary didn't seem to know how to answer, and handed the appraisal report to Jackson, "You should read it yourself."

Jackson picked up the appraisal report and read, "Comparing the DNA structure of suspect Sofia's skin tissue and saliva and other trace substances, it is completely consistent with the DNA type of Sofia de la Rosa, the victim of the kidnapping case ten years ago. It's definitely the same person..."

After Jackson finished reading the appraisal report, the office became quiet, and everyone around him fell silent.

Although everyone has guessed about this result before, but guesses are guesses after all.

Now that the identification results are out, they need to deal with new problems.

For example, how to treat Sofia?

Ten years ago, she was the victim of a kidnapping case. The FBI and the police made great efforts to rescue and find her, and now they are finally found.

Her survival was a cause for celebration, but not joy.

Because she changed, from a victim of a kidnapping case to a kidnapper who kidnapped her.

This transition is psychologically difficult to accept.

She was only ten years old when she was kidnapped, and she is only 20 years old now. She has been controlled by the kidnappers during the most important growth stage of her life. cause a second injury.

After a long time, Jackson said, "Anyway, I think I should tell her about it.

She did commit a crime, but the suspect also has the right to know her past life, which may be the best memory of her life.

Moreover, she was probably coerced into committing the crime, and it was not her intention to kidnap Isa Redman. "

The deputy team said, "Emotionally, I agree with your words, but she did commit a crime, and her actions hurt the new kidnap victim Isa Redman.

It would be unfair to Isa Redman if she was given a lighter punishment. "

Jenny nodded, "I talked to Isa Redman. During her kidnapping period, Sophia had been delivering food to her, and she was the only one who didn't hurt her. She could feel Sophia's guilt and Tangled, she once asked Sophia for help.

Sophia didn't rescue her, but she didn't tell the other accomplices either.

Therefore, I agree with Jackson's words that Sophia was probably coerced into committing a crime. "

Luke waved his hand and interrupted the discussion between the two parties, "I will report this matter to Rhett.

Jenny, you are in charge of contacting Sophia's stepmother and telling her the results of this investigation. "

"Yes, sir."

"Others, finish what you are doing first, and we will discuss this matter tonight." After Luke finished speaking, he took the documents and went to the director's office.

……

eight pm.

The case was solved and the hostages were successfully rescued. It was originally a day worth celebrating.

But because of Sophia, everyone was a little unhappy, and no one mentioned going to the bar to celebrate, so they went back to their respective homes.

Luke asks Daisy to have dinner with him.

These two days have been relatively busy, and Luke didn't bother to cook, so he directly made an appointment at a French restaurant.

Sometimes you choose a restaurant not only because you like the food in the restaurant, but also because you like the atmosphere.

After Luke arrived at the restaurant, he ordered food in advance, sat at the dining table and played with his mobile phone, searching for news about the kidnapping case. Basically, it was the news about the kidnapping of the real estate tycoon’s son Gary Sane Jr. News reports that he may have been kidnapped by an Italian Mafia family.

Luke felt that Anthony must be having a headache right now.

There is no news about the kidnapping of Isa Redman on the news. It stands to reason that the kidnapping case has been solved, the suspect has been arrested, and the hostages have been rescued. At this time, the news of the kidnapping case will also reach the media through various channels. .

However, under Luke's proposal, Reid suppressed the news about this case, and it is still in the confidential stage, and the police officers of any department are prohibited from leaking.

The reason why Luke made this proposal is mainly because Sophia's identity is relatively sensitive. Once exposed to the news media, things may become unpredictable.

"Da da..." There was a familiar sound of footsteps.

Daisy walked to the dining table, put the small satchel on the table, and sat across the table, "When did you come?"

Luke glanced at his watch and said nonsense, "Half an hour ago."

"You came early."

Luke smiled, stretched out his right hand to hold her slender left hand, "I want to see you sooner."

"Didn't you come back from Hawaii a long time ago? Then why didn't you ask me out earlier?"

"I've been working on a case for the past two days, and it's more urgent." Luke picked up the wine dispenser and poured Daisy a glass of red wine.

"Can you tell?"

"It's still in the secrecy stage."

"Forget it then." Daisy shrugged, "Did you order?"

"I've ordered. I have your favorite steak, baked snails, asparagus bisque, and orange-flavored French toast."

"Thank you, I will enjoy it." Daisy picked up the red wine glass and clinked the glass with Luke.

In fact, Luke has another purpose for coming today, which is to inquire about the impact of Sophia's experience on the judgment of the case.

Luke knew that once Sophia's experience was made public, he would definitely be given a lighter sentence, but he was still not sure about the scale.

But when the words came to his lips, he still didn't ask.

The case was still in the confidential stage, and it was still his proposal. If he told Daisy, it would be slapping himself in the face.

If he didn't tell Daisy the details of the case, but just consulted the suspect, Luke felt that he was a bit of a double standard. He didn't want to tell others, but asked them to help. That's not how things should be done.

Simply don't ask, just do your job well.

Because the food was ordered in advance, the food began to be served shortly after Daisy arrived.

There are Daisy's favorites, and there are Luke's own favorites, and the tastes of the two are not quite the same.

The two chatted while eating, and talked about traveling to Hawaii.

Luke also wants to ask Daisy to go to Hawaii. He hasn't played enough, and traveling with his family is one feeling, and playing with Daisy is another feeling.

Luke had found a shortcut to paid time off, and it was up to Daisy to spare the time.

Just when the two were chatting vigorously, two women walked into the restaurant, led by the waiter to a table against the wall and sat down.

Luke casually glanced at the figure of one of the women who seemed familiar. He turned his head and watched carefully. The woman was stylishly dressed, elegant, and looked about 40 years old. She was Sophia's stepmother, Kelly Lux.

Coincidentally, I didn't expect to meet here.

However, Kelly Lux did not see Luke because of the angle.

Luke secretly observed Kelly Lux and the woman who was dining with her. The woman looked about 50 years old, Asian, but not East Asian, with darker complexion, ordinary clothes, and looked a little prim.

Jenny has already notified Kelly Lux, but she didn't go to the police station in the afternoon, so she must be very conflicted.

The stepdaughter who had been missing for ten years was suddenly found, and she still appeared as a kidnapper. Perhaps she thought more about things than the police.

"Dingling..." Luke's cell phone rang, and he took out his cell phone to see that it was Anthony's number.

"Hi, I'm Luke."

"How's the Isa Redman kidnapping going?"

"It was just solved today. The suspect was arrested and the hostages were rescued."

"Oh, the secrecy work is good, even I haven't heard the news."

"Although the case has been solved, there have been some minor problems, so the case has not been announced to the public for the time being."

"Is there anything I need to know?"

"Yes, I do have something to tell you." Luke looked around, "I'm in the restaurant now, it's not convenient to talk, come to my office tomorrow. If you're busy, I can find you."

"Why tomorrow, come and find me now."

"No, I don't want to see your face at night, I will have nightmares."

"Come on, if you take action today, you might be able to catch a big fish."

Luke was a little surprised, "It seems that the progress of the investigation is not bad."

"Yes, that sketch you drew worked, we found the person who ordered the thief to steal your ID in Hawaii.

Consultant Li, you also have a part to play here. "

Luke glanced at his watch, "When are you going to act?"

"Around eleven o'clock in the evening."

"OK, give me an address, I'll be there before ten o'clock." Luke also wanted to know which bastard was behind his back.

Daisy put down her knife and fork and asked, "Any missions?"

"Not really, let's digest it after eating."

……

10:30 in the evening.

Near LAX.

On a wide road leading to the airport, Luke parked the car on the side of the road and met Anthony.

Anthony handed Luke a cigarette, lit one himself, took a sip, and pointed to the sky with his finger holding the cigarette, "The weather is fine tonight, is that Sirius?"

Luke also took a drag on his cigarette, and glanced around, "I haven't rested for several nights in a row. I didn't come out tonight to watch the stars with you."

"Don't worry, that bastard who is plotting against you behind his back will fall into his own trap, you just have to wait quietly, trust me, hehe." Anthony smiled confidently.

Luke also probably guessed, "That guy just returned to Los Angeles?"

"That's right, he booked a flight from Hawaii back to Los Angeles today, and he also made an appointment for a pick-up service.

I've arranged for someone to pick him up. "

"fuck!

I was put on by this guy, and I didn't even have the mood to continue playing in Hawaii, but he continued to stay in Hawaii and didn't come back until today.

It's not fair. "

Anthony smiled, "I know, so I chose this place, you can use your body to express your inner emotions."

"You're so sweet." Luke smiled and asked, "How did you find him?"

"I checked all the flights from Los Angeles to Hawaii before and after you went to Hawaii. On March 3, there was a male passenger who was very similar to the suspect in the sketch. We checked the airport surveillance and found that he had no companions.

This made me think he was very suspicious, so I searched him and found him to be a detective. "

Luke concluded, "That is to say, this guy was probably hired to prevent me from returning to Los Angeles from Hawaii, and after he instructed the thief to steal my documents, he took the opportunity to spend a vacation in Hawaii."

"That's right, this guy is very calculating. If it were me, I would really want to beat him up." Anthony rubbed his hands together, then changed the topic, "By the way, don't you have news to tell me? What news?"

"The mastermind of the kidnapping of Isa Redman was Hugo Chowdhury, and this unlucky guy was shot dead.

According to the confessions of other suspects, it was the father of the victim whom he contacted, and he also claimed to be Mr. V. As for why he called himself Mr. V, his accomplices did not know. "

Anthony thought for a while, "Do you suspect that Hugo Choudhury's claim of Mr. V is related to the bloody V letter found on the yacht in the case of the kidnapping of the real estate tycoon's son Gary Sane Jr?"

"But it's probably not a coincidence that both cases are related to the letter V," Luke said.

If Hugo Choudhury is really related to the kidnapping of Gary Sane Jr., I don’t think it is necessary for him to remind the police to connect the two cases, and we have not found that Hugo Choudhury has any connection with Leads related to the kidnapping of Gary Sane Jr.

According to my guess, Hugo Choudhury should have thought about the possibility of the family members of the hostages calling the police.

He called himself Mr. V, which probably caused the police to misunderstand that the person who kidnapped Isa Redman and the person who kidnapped Gary Sane Jr. were the same group, and misled the police to investigate the case. "Luke continued to analyze,
"If my inference is correct, it means that Hugo Choudhury had nothing to do with the kidnapping of the real estate tycoon's son Gary Sane Jr., but he knew that the letter V appeared in blood on the yacht.

And I have read all the kidnapping news, but there is no report on the blood letter V in the news, how did he know the details of the crime? "

"You're right, this detail has not been announced to the public." Anthony guessed immediately, "Do you think he has something to do with the FBI insider?"

"This is just my guess, and it could be a coincidence. But as long as there is such a possibility, we have to guard against it.

You must know that kidnapping cases are generally investigated by the FBI. If Isa Redman's father had not had enough energy and persistence, this case would not have been transferred from the FBI to the police department.

If this case is investigated by the FBI, think about the consequences. "

Anthony's face was serious, "I will definitely dig out that bastard! I swear."

"Waiting for your good news." This is another reason why Luke told Reid not to announce the case for the time being. The mastermind of the case, Hugo Choudhury, is dead. No one can guarantee whether there are other people involved in the kidnapping case. .

Even if there are, the clues have been cut off, and other methods of investigation are still needed.

"Woooo..." A car drove over and stopped on the side of the road not far away.

Several big men rushed out from the side of the road, opened the car door, raised their pistols and shouted, "FBI!"

"Don't move, put your hands up."

"Hold your head in your hands and get out of the car."

Amidst yelling, a white man was pushed out of the car. Luke walked over to check. This man was very similar to the sketch he had made.

The white man was held down on the ground and searched, and after his hands were handcuffed, he was dragged to Luke and Anthony by two detectives.

Luke raised his chin and smiled, "Hey, boy, do you still know me?"

The white man's face changed slightly, then he calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Anthony smiled, "Is he looking down on you? Why do I feel that he is more relaxed after seeing you."

"Shut up." Luke glanced at him and continued, "What's your name?"

"Colin Pereira."

"Do you know why they arrested you?"

"No."

"The answer is very straightforward." Luke said solemnly, "We suspect that you were involved in a kidnapping case, please go back with us to investigate."

Colin Pereira probed, "Do you have an arrest warrant?"

Anthony shook his head, "No, we don't need that thing."

Hearing this, Colin Pereira not only did not relax, but his body trembled, "I really didn't participate in any kidnapping case, I was just traveling to Hawaii."

Luke said, "You should know who I am, I am standing in front of you, and the FBI is also there, you are still lying.

Do you think I'm a fool, or do you think he's an idiot? "

Anthony smiled, showing his white teeth, "People who take me for an idiot usually have already gone to see God.

No, it should be Satan.

God won't take in those heinous bastards. He pointed to the dark wasteland around him, "Do you want to choose a place for yourself?" "

Colin Pereira looked at Luke, then at Anthony, "No, I don't want to cause trouble, and I'm not involved in the kidnapping case.

I admit that I took a commission, that's all. "

Luke pressed, "What commission?"

Colin Pereira sighed, "I was hired to prevent you from returning to Los Angeles."

"why?"

"I do not know."

"Who told you to do this?"

"I..." Colin Pereira showed a embarrassed look, and said after a long struggle, "I didn't ask her name, she is a middle-aged white woman, she has red hair and wears a very beautiful diamond necklace , very generous."

"Are you sure it's red hair?"

"Yes."

Anthony took out his phone and found a photo, "Is it her?"

"That's right, it's her."

Luke also took the phone and looked at it, "Who is she?"

Anthony whispered, "Gary Sane's mother."

"Is it your own?"

"Gary Sane Jr. also has red hair." After Anthony finished speaking, he patted Colin Pereira on the shoulder, "Man, thank you, the clues you provided are very important.

Also, I just told a white lie that we have an arrest warrant. "

Hearing Anthony's words, Colin Pereira was visibly relieved and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I really have nothing to do with the kidnapping case, what I said is true, I'm just a detective, that's all .”

Anthony said, "Whether you know it or not, you are indeed suspected of participating in a kidnapping case, which is very bad for you."

"Hey, I know the rules. Tell me what you need me to do. Just give me a favorable plea deal."

Seeing the other party being so upbeat, Anthony smiled, "Dude, I'm starting to like you a little bit."
