LA Detective

Half an hour later, the door to the office of the Robbery and Murder Division rang.

"Dong dong."

"Come in."

A moment later, a Caucasian woman in her 30s walked into the office. She was wearing a black professional dress and carrying a briefcase.

"Hi, my name is Vicky Sarber and I'm Thomas Corley's attorney."

"Hello, Lawyer Sabo, my name is Jenny, we just talked on the phone.

please come with me. "

Jenny led her into the lounge and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

Vicky Sabo put the briefcase on the table, "No, thank you, where is Thomas Corley?"

"Wait a minute." After Jenny finished speaking, she left the office.

After a while, the door of the living room was pushed open.

Luke and Jenny walked into the lounge one after the other, "Hi Lawyer Sabo, my name is Luke Li, and I'm the person in charge here."

"I've heard of your name, Captain Lee." Vicky Sabo stood up and shook hands with Luke. "Did Thomas Corley invite me here?"

"No, I invited you here, to be precise, I want to talk to you."

"Talk about what?"

"About Thomas Corley."

Vicky Saber smiled, "You want to get information about a client from a lawyer.

Are you doubting my profession?

Listen, don't expect to hear anything from me against my client. "

"Thomas Curley has pleaded guilty to all the charges. Is there any worse news for him than this?"

"Then why did you come to me?"

"To help Thomas Corley."

Vicki Sabo looked wary, "I don't understand what you mean?"

"We have found some clues in favor of Thomas Corley during the investigation, but due to insufficient evidence, we cannot confirm it, so we need your assistance."

"Since it was the case in Thomas Corley's favor, why didn't you speak to him himself?
I don't know much about the case he committed, so I don't know how to help you. "

"Did you know Thomas Corley's wife?"

"Yes, Georgina Corley, who I first met and later became their family lawyer, has not changed even though the two of them have divorced.

They all trust me. "

"Did you know that Thomas Corley used to test drugs at Calman Pharmaceuticals?"

"Yes, he once thought about suing the company, but it is almost impossible to win the case, these large pharmaceutical companies without exception have a strong team of lawyers.

I advised him to dismiss this idea. "

"What do you think of Thomas Corley's kidnapping, robbery, and arson case?"

Vicki Sabo shook her head, "I don't have any opinion.

If Thomas Curley needs it, I will help him fight for his rights, that's all. "

Luke changed the topic, "Did Thomas Corley leave a will?"

Vicky Saber shrugged, "Sorry, this is his privacy, I have no right to tell you."

Luke took out a document and handed it to Vicky Sabo, "I want to see Thomas Corley's will."

Vicky Saber took the documents to check, and said after a long time, "Thomas Corley did leave a will, but I didn't bring it, and it's still in the law firm."

"I'll go to the law firm with you."

Half an hour later, Luke rushed to the law firm where Vicky Saber was, and got Thomas Corley's will from her.

Thomas Corley's will is mainly divided into three aspects. The first aspect is the mortgaged house. After the house is sold and the arrears are paid off, the money belongs to his daughter.

He also had $[-] in cash, which also belonged to his daughter.

He ended up leasing a warehouse at Taber Storage, Inc., whose contents belonged to his ex-wife as a memento.

Luke was not very interested in the first two wills, but the warehouse leased by the third will aroused Luke's interest.

Police were previously unaware that Thomas Corley leased the warehouse.

Previously, according to the deputy team's speculation, in order to prevent the criminals behind the scenes from breaking the contract, the general culprits would leave evidence to identify the other party, and these evidences are most likely in the hands of close relatives or trusted friends.

Luke met Thomas Corley's ex-wife and daughter. During the conversation with the two, Luke felt that the two should not know about Thomas Corley.

Luke speculates that there are two situations. In the first situation, Thomas Corley gave the evidence to other trusted people, but Luke did not find out the existence of this person.

The second possibility is that Thomas Corley just didn't give things to his ex-wife and daughter for the time being. Once something happened to him, these things would be sent to his wife and daughter, so Luke remembered the will.

Luke guessed that the evidence identifying the man behind the scenes was probably in the leased warehouse.

……

Taber Storage Co.

This is a California chain warehouse company headquartered in Los Angeles. The warehouse company is located in the southern suburbs of Los Angeles and covers a very large area.

Luke led the team to Tabor Storage Company and showed a search warrant.

The person in charge of the storage company immediately took Luke and others to the warehouse leased by Thomas Corley.

The person in charge of the storage company was also unable to open the door of the warehouse. After confirming the location of the warehouse, Luke asked someone to knock open the door with a door bumper.

The warehouse area is not large, only about ten square meters.

There are not many things in the warehouse, only three boxes are stacked in the innermost corner of the warehouse.

Luke began to examine the contents of the three boxes. The leftmost box contained some old dolls and toys, all played by little girls.

In the middle box are clothes, books and photographs of a young girl who resembles Thomas Corley's daughter.

The box on the far right contains some photos and miscellaneous items. The photos belong to Thomas Corley’s family of three. The miscellaneous items are mostly gifts, probably given by him to his ex-wife.

After Luke rummaged carefully, he found a mobile phone in a black gift box. Luke tried to open it, but the phone was dead. He found a charger before opening the iPhone.

Luke carefully checked the phone and found several valuable voices and videos from it.

He turned on one of the voices, and Thomas Corley's voice sounded, [My dear, please allow me to call you one last time.

I love you, always have been, never changed.

When you hear this recording, it means that I am dead, and it is an abnormal death.

I... did something, and I don't know if it's right or wrong.

By this time, you should already know that I took revenge on Kallman Pharmaceuticals.

That's right, I did it.

However, I did not tell the truth to the police. In fact, there is an instigator behind me. His purpose is to short Kalman Pharmaceuticals.

I will take the blame for him, and in exchange, he will help take care of your mother and daughter.

His name is Lennon Ochoa.

You may not be familiar with the name, but his wife's brother is a director of Wurst Investments.

You may have guessed it...

That's right, Lennon Ochoa helped you get promoted to assistant president.

If I had died a normal death, I would have amended my will and you would not have heard this recording.

If I didn't die normally, it was probably silenced.

My dear, you must be careful and take good care of your daughter...]

This recording proves the speculation of Luke and others, and their hard work today is also worthwhile.

But this recording alone is not enough evidence.

Luke clicked on another video. Judging from the background, the place is very empty. It should be in a certain square, and the surrounding area is empty. A man appeared in the picture, wearing a decent suit and meticulously groomed blond hair.

["Mr. Thomas Corley, hello."

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Lennon Ochoa."

"Let's join forces to retaliate against Kallman Pharmaceuticals, what do you think?"

"I took revenge on Kallman Pharmaceuticals for revenge, how about you?"

"Hehe, I'm simpler, interest.

You revenge, I make money, we each get what we need. "

"If I want revenge, I can do it myself, why should I join hands with you.

I can provide you with funds, and I can also share some of your benefits.

Even if you don't need money, your family will always need it. "

"Mr. Lennon Ochoa, why me?"

"Mr. Thomas Curley, I have been following you for a long time, and perhaps this is not even clear to you.

I share a hobby with you, and that is gambling.

I have known you for a long time, and I have also learned about your experience. I know that you have always harbored resentment towards Kallman Pharmaceuticals, and it is only because you cannot part with your wife and daughter that you have not acted for a long time.

Now that you are terminally ill and your time is numbered, there is nothing to worry about.

Moreover, I can guarantee that as long as you cooperate with me, after your death, I can take care of your ex-wife and daughter, so that they have no worries about food and clothing.

Although it can't be said to be rich and powerful, it must be better than now.

Think about it.

Even if you die, you have to die worthwhile. "]

With this video evidence, Luke has confidence in his heart.

It is basically certain that Lennon Ochoa is behind a series of attacks on Kalman Pharmaceuticals.

However, before officially arresting Lennon Ochoa, he still needs to talk to Thomas Corley. A rich man like Lennon Ochoa has a strong team of lawyers, and even the dead may be said to be alive. Yes, if you want to be completely sure, it is best to let Thomas Corley come forward to identify the other party.

……

Robbery Murder Division, Interrogation Room.

Thomas Corley was brought into the interrogation room and handcuffed to Hassan in the interrogation chair.

Luke put down the documents in his hand and greeted him proactively, "Good afternoon, Mr. Corley."

Thomas Corley yawned. "Is it afternoon? I can't even remember the time."

Xiao Hei joked, "Don't worry, when you are transferred to the prison, there will be a wake-up service, and you won't mess up your schedule anymore."

Thomas Corley shrugged as if he didn't care. "Could I have a cup of coffee?"

Luke nodded.

"You really have too many demands." Xiao Hei complained and poured him a cup of coffee.

"Thank you." Thomas Corley took a sip with a look of enjoyment, "As long as there is coffee, it's the same for me anywhere.

What do you want from me?

Do I need to identify the scene?
No problem, I just want to go out to get some air, and I still cherish it if I go out once less. "

Luke stopped talking nonsense to him, "Do you know Lennon Ochoa?"

Thomas Corley's face suddenly changed, and he took a sip of coffee, "No, is it the name of a certain movie star? I haven't paid attention to these in recent years."

"He is not a star, he is the chairman of Pratt Investment Company, or your accomplice.

We have found out that you have teamed up to retaliate against Kallman Pharmaceuticals.

You are for revenge, and he is for profit. "

Thomas Corley pondered for a long time, "Since you have found out, why are you looking for me?"

"We need you to identify Lennon Ochoa."

Thomas Corley smiled, "So what you said just now is all your speculation, and you have no evidence."

"No, we found more evidence than you imagined. I just give you a chance to make meritorious service, let you turn into a tainted witness, and get a favorable plea agreement. Think about it."

"I'm terminally ill, and any plea deal is meaningless to me."

"I know that what you care about is your ex-wife and daughter, and you made a will to leave all your property and a warehouse to them.

We found that warehouse, and we found evidence of your conspiracy with Lennon Ochoa. "

Thomas Corley looked downcast, and smiled wryly, "Since you have found the evidence I left behind, does it matter if I identify Lennon Ochoa?"

If it was a general suspect, Luke might have arrested him by this time.

But Lennon Ochoa is a rich man, and Luke has to face not only Lennon Ochoa, but also his legal team. If he is not careful, he may be caught by the other party.

The best way is for Thomas Curley to identify Lennon Ochoa, let Thomas Curley attract the firepower of Lennon Ochoa and the legal team, so that Luke and the police can have an easier time.

"I think it's the best option, good for you and good for us."

Thomas Corley was silent for a while, and drank the rest of his coffee, "OK, let me think about it."

Luke heard the other party's perfunctory, "Listen, whether you cooperate or not, we will take action against Lennon Ochoa.

Even if you don't want to identify him, he won't accept your favor and will still feel that you betrayed him.

Both your ex-wife and daughter may be affected by then. "Luke showed a look you know,
"You work with police early on to minimize the impact."

Thomas Corley glared at Luke, and said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

"No, the real threat to your ex-wife and daughter is Lennon Ochoa, you know this very well, otherwise you wouldn't have left those evidences in the warehouse.

As long as you are willing to turn into a tainted witness, your ex-wife and daughter will also be protected by the police. "Luke leaned forward and said earnestly,

"Hey, you're a smart guy, I believe you should know how to choose."
