LA Detective

Chapter 62 Accidental Discovery
evening.

Police Department.

Robbery Murder Division conference room.

Luke reported the progress of the case investigation and the arrest process.

Susan glanced at Luke and Marcus, "Which one of you hit the suspect?"

Luke said, "It could be me."

Marcus shrugged. "It could be me, too."

The scene at that time was a bit chaotic, the three of them shot indiscriminately, and no one could tell.

Susan asked concerned, "Need a rest?"

Luke is also an old policeman, and the shooting has little effect on him, not to mention that David has avoided suspicion. If he rests again, the team will be short-handed.

"No." The will case is about to be solved, and Luke doesn't want to give up halfway.

Marcus also shook his head, "When I can walk, I wander the streets of the slums, and the sound of gunfire is my lullaby, what a joke."

"Good, welcome back to the team."

Marcus laughed, "Is there a welcome ceremony?"

"There is currently no funding for this. If you want to pay for it yourself, I can do it for you."

"Captain, you are so considerate, but forget it."

"OK, the happy rejoining ceremony is over, let's continue talking about the case." Susan changed the subject, "How is Logan Salmu's situation? Can you make a record?"

Marcus replied, "He was wounded in the arm by a bullet. This guy used the injury as an excuse and declared that he could not take the transcript for the time being, and he would wait until the injury recovered."

Susan concluded, "That is to say, it is not clear what relationship these two have with Lawn?"

Luke continued, "Actually, I found some clues. I checked Logan Salmu and found a familiar number in the address book.

It was Emma, ​​Lawn's youngest daughter.

Logan Salmu and Emma had multiple call records, the last one was yesterday evening. "

Jenny frowned, "Only Emma? I don't think she is old enough to kidnap her father."

Susan analyzed, "Emma can only inherit an inheritance of [-] U.S. dollars, while her sister Sophia's inheritance is as high as several million U.S. dollars. After learning about the written will, Emma expressed dissatisfaction many times.

She has enough motives and reasons to kidnap her father Lawn. "

Luke said, "I called Emma's cell phone number, but no one answered. It may not be easy to find her."

Susan pointed to Marcus, "Marcus, can you find her?"

……

the next morning.

Luke drove a Harley into the police station. As soon as he parked the car, he saw three familiar figures coming down the stairs.

Raymond, Marcus, Jenny.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Marcus said, "I know Emma's whereabouts."

Luke was still a little envious of Marcus' ability to be well-informed, "I'll go too."

Raymond said, "You and Jenny have other tasks together."

After speaking, Raymond and Marcus got in the car and left.

Luke looked at Jenny, "Where are we going?"

"The bank." The two got into the car, and Jenny introduced while driving, "Matthew checked Lawn's bank account and found that he had withdrawn $[-] from Lawn's bank account yesterday morning."

Luke smiled, "Good job, whoever withdraws the money is the one who kidnapped Lawn."

The two rushed to the bank, showed their documents, and retrieved the bank's surveillance from yesterday.

Seeing the cashier on the monitor, the two showed surprised expressions.

Lawn.

Luke checked the surveillance carefully and confirmed that it was Lawn himself.

Lindsay wasn't lying, it was most likely not a kidnapping, but Lawn trying to escape.

"Jingle Bell……"

Luke's cell phone rang, and he pressed the answer button, "Hello."

"How is the investigation?" Raymond's voice came from the phone.

"We investigated the bank surveillance. It was Lawn himself who withdrew the money. He woke up a long time ago and just lay down to watch the show. Have you found Emma?"

"Yes, she was drunk in the hotel, and she was still a little unconscious, so she asked a few words.

She also didn't know the whereabouts of Lawn.

In addition, she admitted that she hired Logan Salm to get Lawn out of the hospital.

However, she denied that it was kidnapping, saying that Lawn instructed her to do so, and promised to redistribute the inheritance. "

"How did she know Logan?"

"The two met through a dating app." Lei Meng said helplessly, "I want to help her sober up, take her back to the police station for a record, and talk later."

The two briefly exchanged information, and they were basically able to confirm the fact that Lawn had escaped.

But there is one thing that Luke still can't figure out, if Lawn wants to use Emma and Logan Salmu to escape.

Then Emma and Logan Salmu's charges were not serious, even if they were arrested, it would not be a big problem.

Logically speaking, Logan Salmu had no reason to shoot at the police.

Misdemeanors become felonies, it doesn't make sense.

Luke guessed that Logan Salmu probably had other criminal records, so he was so afraid of being chased by the police.

Then think about the relationship between Emma and Logan Salmu.

Emma said that the two met through dating software, but there is a 20-year age difference between the two, so it doesn't seem like they have a common language.

wrong.

The two have a common hobby, taking drugs.

Luke vaguely guessed the reason why Logan Salmu shot...

"Luke, we got the surveillance video, we should go." Jenny greeted.

The two got into the car, and Luke said, "Jenny, let's go to Logan Salm's house instead of going back to the police station."

"Why?" Jenny was a little puzzled.

"I think Logan Salm's house may find clues about Lawn." Luke needed a reason to search Logan Salm's house.

The two drove to Logan Salmu's house. The yard was cordoned off and the door was sealed.

Luke has reported to Susan on the way.

The seal was lifted, and the two of them entered the house.

The room is very messy, dirty clothes are piled up on the sofa, beer bottles are scattered everywhere, and there are takeaway boxes on the coffee table, exuding a bad smell.

Jenny scanned the room, shook her head and said, "I really don't understand why these guys are still alive?"

Seeing Luke rummaging around, Jenny couldn't help asking, "Luke, what are you looking for?"

"You'll know in a while." Luke didn't say it clearly, not to be mysterious.

Some things can be done, but not stated.

A police investigation needs a reason, and finding something is another matter.

If you want to search that thing openly, you have to apply for a corresponding search warrant, which is not easy.

Regardless of whether you can apply or not, after the best time to investigate, it is very likely that everything will change.

Jenny was not idle either, and searched with Luke.

After ten minutes, Luke found a bag in the cistern of the toilet, "Jenny, I found it here."

Jenny walked to the door of the toilet and saw Luke holding a plastic bag in his hand, which contained some small bags. Based on her experience, it was probably a hard product.

This amount is enough to sentence Logan Salmu for several years.

"Wow, how do you know that Logan Salmu has a lot of drugs hidden?"

Luke smiled, "I'm just looking for clues from Lawn, maybe it's luck."

Jenny didn't ask any more, "Hmm, lucky Luke."

Luke would have guessed that Logan Salmu was hiding drugs because the last time he went to the hotel to look for Emma, ​​he found that Emma showed signs of taking drugs.

Logan Salmu is also a drug addict.

The two probably met because of the unique product, considering the frequent contact between the two.

Luke guessed that Emma might have bought it through Logan Salmu.

Coupled with the unreasonable phenomenon that Logan Salmu shot at the police in order to escape, Logan Salmu may have a large number of drugs in his possession. Once caught by the police, he will go to jail.

Luke is neither the DEA nor the Los Angeles Drug Enforcement Team. The best way is to search on the grounds of Lawn.
