LA Detective

Chapter 495 Consequences
Luke made a note in his notebook and continued to ask, "What's the second part of the plan?"

"Kidnapping.

Taking advantage of his position, Craigie found the file of the kidnapping case ten years ago.

The way we kidnapped Isa Redman was a complete parody of the kidnapping that happened [-] years ago in order for the police to connect the two cases.

If I were caught by the police, they would mistake me for Sofia through DNA testing.

Craigie also emphasized that the FBI should investigate the matter themselves, rather than me voluntarily saying it.

Also, a month before the official kidnapping, I told Hugo to change my name so he could call me Sophia.

Prevent him from slipping. "

This is consistent with Luke's speculation, "Hugo Choudhury was killed, is it also in your plan?"

"Yes, Craigie knows that Hugo is a desperado, and he has other crimes on him. Once he is arrested, he will definitely fight back, and there is a high probability that he will be shot dead by the police."

"It was your idea to kill the kidnapper Tom and another Mexican kidnapper?"

"No, that's entirely on Hugo's own initiative.

Craigie had a good plan, but we didn't have full control over Hugo, and Hugo didn't know our real plan, he wanted the $600 million.

He has taken that $600 million as his own and will not share it with anyone. "

"You were arrested by the police as part of your plan?"

"That's the third part of Craigie's plan." Irene Regan sighed with a complicated expression on her face.

"Based on Craigie's speculation, after I was caught by the FBI, they would be able to discover my identity. I am not only a kidnapper, but also a victim of a kidnapping case ten years ago.

Whether it is the FBI, prosecutors, or judges, they will treat me differently. As long as I have good acting skills and can win the sympathy of the jury, there is a high probability that I will be acquitted.

At that time, I can become Sophia, accept her father's inheritance, and become a real rich man.

No need to run away, no need to worry about being caught, you can enjoy life in the sun. "

"This plan is indeed good, but it is not easy to implement." Luke felt that there should be loopholes in it.

"Yes, that's what I said too.

Craigie told me to take good care of Isa Redman, trying to make Isa Redman feel good about me.

Isa Redman was a kidnap victim, and her attitude could affect the court's attitude toward me.

As long as she treats me differently from the other kidnappers and has something nice to say about me, we're halfway there. "

Luke thought of Sophia's stepmother and nanny again, and asked, "Haven't you thought about the possibility of being found out by the hostage's family?"

"Craigie thought about it. He said he would find a solution. Now it seems that he obviously didn't solve it."

Luke pressed, "How does he want to fix it?"

"In our original expectation, the kidnapping case should be investigated by the FBI. But who would have thought that the case would be handed over to the police department, and Craigie would not be able to directly check the case file.

He didn't know the progress of the investigation of the kidnapping case, so he couldn't secretly influence the investigation. "

When it comes to handing over the case, Luke also has doubts in his heart. Just like Irene Regan said, this kidnapping case should have been investigated by the FBI, but because the kidnapping case of the real estate tycoon's son Gary Sane Jr. was on the news, Irene Sha Redman's father questioned the ability of the FBI, so he asked the police department to take over the investigation of the case.

If the kidnapping of Gary Sane Jr. hadn't been in the news, the FBI should still be leading the investigation, so Craigie Hoskin could easily access the information of the case.

From this point of view, Craigie Hoskin has no reason to disclose the news of the kidnapping of Gary Sane Jr.

But according to Anthony's investigation, Craigie Hoskins did see the information files on the kidnapping of Gary Sane Jr.

Luke asked the doubts in his heart, "Did the news of Gary Sane Jr.'s kidnapping be revealed to the media by Craigie Hoskins?"

Elena Regan shook her head, "No."

"Who is that?"

Irene Regan bit her right nail with her teeth, "It's me."

"How do you know? Why do you do it?"

"We originally decided to carry out the kidnapping in the near future, but we didn't expect a kidnapping case to emerge first.

Craigie was more cautious. He was worried that the kidnapping case would affect our plan, so he used his authority to check the information of that case.

Afterwards, he told me about the kidnapping case, which I kept in mind at the time.

Later, after thinking about it for a long time, I called and told a reporter about it. "

Luke was a little puzzled, "Why are you doing this?"

"I think the exposure of this kidnapping case can draw more energy from the FBI, which is more conducive to the implementation of our kidnapping case.

In addition, if Gary Sane Jr. is torn apart because of the exposure of the case, Isa Redman's family can also be given a warning so that they dare not call the police and honestly pay the ransom. "

"Now that you know about the kidnapping of Gary Sane Jr., you should know that the blood letter V was left on the yacht."

"Yes."

"Hugo Choudhury claimed that Mr. V asked for a ransom from his family, was it also your idea?"

Elena Regan nodded, "Yes.

Because I thought Isa Redman's family would call the police.

When the police are investigating, they will link Mr. V with the bloody letter V. I think this will mislead them, making them think that the two kidnappings were committed by the same group of kidnappers, and interfere with their investigation direction. ",

Luke frowned slightly, and Elena Regan's words were contradictory, "According to the previous plan between you and Craigie Hoskins, being arrested by the FBI is also one of the links in the plan, so that you can pretend to be Sophia and clean up your crimes." Later inheritance.

But these two operations of yours are indeed interfering with the FBI's investigation. Isn't this superfluous? "

Irene Reagan pinched her forehead with her hands, and after a long silence, she sighed, "Actually, I always thought there was something wrong with Creckie's plan, it was too risky.

I admit that I want to become a real rich man and live as luxuriously as Isa Redman.

But I don't want to be caught by the police, I hate the police, I don't want to be judged, and I worry about being recognized by the family.

I was too scared to sleep.

Just like now, you've figured out my identity, which justifies my fears.

The plan simply doesn't work. "

"Does Craigie Hosking know about these two things?"

"do not know.

He was very careful. After the kidnapping was carried out, we did not contact him again. "

"Then what's your plan?"

"I think the kidnapping case ten years ago was perfect. The kidnapper was simply a genius. He actually used black market dealers to transfer the risk of paying the ransom. The family members of the hostages called the police, but the kidnapper was still not caught.

If they can, why can't we.

Moreover, as long as I put more pressure on the family members so that they dare not call the police, the chances of success in the kidnapping case are very high.

I'd rather get $600 million than get caught by the police.

With this money, I could go anywhere and be fine. "

"Have you ever told Craigie Hoskins about this idea?"

"Yes, I told him early on, but he didn't think $600 million was a lot.

And even if the kidnapping was successful, we would be scared and hide everywhere.

Only when I become Sophia can I truly enjoy the life of a rich man.

I know he has a point, but anyone can say it, and it's me who actually does all of this.

I'm afraid of the police, I know I can't do it, I can't be the real Sophia.

I still want to walk away with $600 million.

I've been trying very hard to convince him, but to no avail, that he is a man of his own accord.

So I decided to change in my own way, as long as the police can't catch me, I can get a ransom of 600 million dollars.

If the police catch me, it will be carried out according to Craigie's plan.

I think this is the really perfect plan. "Irene Regan shrugged helplessly, "But I didn't expect that things still got messed up.

I regret it now...

Why is this world so unfair?

What would my life be like if I lived in a wealthy family like Sophia or Isa Redman? "

At this moment, Luke finally understood why there were so many tricks in this seemingly meticulous kidnapping case. The fundamental reason was that Elena Reagan and Craigie Hoskins had differences and their ideas were not unified.

If Craigie Hoskin's plan is to use the kidnapping case to get rid of Hugo Choudhury and let Elena Reagan become a real rich girl, then the two of them can enjoy life openly and aboveboard.

Craigie Hoskin's plan is risky, but the rewards are even greater.

Elena Reagan was worried about being identified by the police, so she hoped that the kidnapping would succeed and leave with $600 million, which would be less risky.

But she couldn't convince Craigie Hoskins, and decided to micromanage Craigie Hoskins' plan in private.

It was these two micro-operations that made Anthony realize that the FBI might have an insider, and then Anthony designed to track down the insider.

At the same time, it was also because of her micro-management that the family members of Isa Redman no longer trusted the FBI and handed over the case to the police department.

This caused Craigie Hoskin's follow-up plans to be completely disrupted.

After the case was transferred to the Robbery and Murder Division, Craigie Hoskin would not be able to use his position to understand the case, and he would not be able to help Elena Reagan complete the follow-up plan.

If Luke hadn't learned that the FBI had an insider and had access to the information resource database, Luke would not have applied for an exhumation.

The plan has the potential to succeed.

It has to be said that Craigie Hoskin's plan was indeed unexpected, but because the two had their own ideas, the plan eventually failed.

……

Robbery Murder Division.

Luke and Xiao Hei returned to the first squadron office.

Xiao Hei pushed open the office door and said hello, "Hey guys, Irene Regan has pleaded guilty. Guess who is the boss behind the scenes?"

However, no one in the office paid any attention to him, all eyes were on the TV set on the wall, and the deputy team made a gesture to mute him.

Luke's eyes were also drawn to the TV.

[Hello viewers, I'm Faye Kasey, a news reporter from CBS TV station.

We received the latest news that not long ago a black Tesla car lost control on the viaduct and crashed into the stone pier next to it, and the driver of the car was unfortunately killed.

It is reported that the owner of the Tesla is an FBI. It is not clear whether he is on a mission. Let us express our deepest condolences to him. "

Tesla, as the world's highest-selling electric car, has frequent car accidents.

I think Musk should reflect on this, whether highly intelligent cars are a help to people, or a threat...]

Jackson said, "It was an FBI who died. Musk is in trouble. It is not easy to be the richest man in the world."

The deputy team pouted, "Why do I smell a conspiracy."

Luke also frowned and asked, "Did you announce the name of this FBI?"

Jenny said, "No, I guess the journalists either didn't get it or didn't dare to broadcast it."

"Come on, what else are they afraid to broadcast?
I don't think so. The deputy team snorted and looked at Xiao Hei beside him.

"Marcus, what did you just say?"

"We just interrogated Sophia, no, she should be called Irene Reagan. She confessed that the mastermind behind the kidnapping was Craigie Hoskin, the head of the FBI Information Resources Department."

Jackson said, "Wow, it's the FBI again, it seems that their luck has not been very good recently..."

Luke returned to the office, took out his mobile phone and dialed Anthony's mobile number, "Hi, I'm Luke."

Anthony's low voice came from the phone, "Dude, I was trying to contact you. Is the interrogation going well?"

"The suspect impersonating Sophia confessed that her name is Irene Regan.

She confirmed that Craigie Hoskin was the insider of the FBI and the mastermind of the case.

The purpose of their planning the kidnapping is to pretend to be Sophia and inherit the legacy left by Sophia's father.

Did you arrest Craigie Hoskins? "

"I was about to tell you that the guy killed himself?"

"How did you die?"

"Driving his beloved little tram... crashed."

"It's the unlucky guy who got into a car accident on the overpass reported in the news."

"Yes, that's him.

He was on vacation today, when we went to his house, there was no one there, and then we got the news that he had crashed his car.I also feel very sudden. "

"Are you sure it was suicide?"

"Yes, we found the suicide note at his house, and he knew that it was exposed that he planned the kidnapping and tampered with the FBI database.

These two felonies are enough for him to spend a lifetime in prison.

He is more worried that his FBI identity will be exposed, and he will end up miserable in prison.

He felt that he had no way out and decided to commit suicide. "

"Are you sure the suicide note is real?"

"To be sure, we asked experts to identify the handwriting.

In addition, he has admitted the facts of the kidnapping case, and you can convict him as usual. "

Looking for a handwriting identification expert to identify it so quickly?Luke expressed doubts, "Any time? Meet and talk."

Anthony hesitated for a while, "Not today, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with."

"I see." Luke hung up the phone.

He sat in the office silently for a long time...

Craigie Hoskins committed suicide?
Luke wasn't sure if it was true, either.

Before even meeting Anthony, he wasn't sure if Anthony was lying.

Of course, even if Anthony lied, it might not necessarily be cheating him.

It may also be a white lie, sometimes knowing more may not be a good thing.

Luke guessed that there should be two circumstances for Craigie Hosking's death.

In the first case, Anthony was telling the truth. Craigie Hoskin was worried that he would be retaliated against in prison as an FBI, so he chose to commit suicide in fear of crime.

In the second case, Craigie Hoskin committed suicide.

The FBI took the initiative to conceal the fact of the homicide, indicating that they may have done it themselves.

As for the motive, it is not difficult to guess. Although Craigie Hoskin's position is not high, he is very sensitive.

As the head of the FBI's information and data department, he knew too much.

There's no way the FBI could let him out of control with these secrets.

Regardless of the reason, Luke felt that there was no need to delve into it.
