LA Detective

Chapter 72 Major Discovery
The next morning.

Luke and David decide to visit those involved in the 'Tellson Disappearance'.

20 years ago, these people took notes.

Now that there are new clues, the transcript needs to be made again, and perhaps more information can be learned from them.

However, after 20 years, it is not easy to find them again. Many people have moved and changed their contact information.

The first thing the two looked for was chef Salman Khan. According to Hans Miller, his wife trusted the chef and worked in his family for more than ten years.

But it is a pity that Salman Khan's mobile phone number has been deactivated.

The two found his address again, but had moved out ten years ago.

Helpless, can only look for the next target.

Manor maid, Cindy Botu.

Cindy Botu didn't leave her mobile phone number. Not everyone had a mobile phone in those days.

Drove directly to her home address.

A white two-story villa is surrounded by a small courtyard of [-] square meters. Some flowers and plants are planted in the courtyard, which is full of life.

This is the advantage of living in a small city, leisurely, comfortable, and cheap housing prices.

The two walked to the door and knocked on the door.

"Creak..." After a while, the door opened.

A white woman in her 20s stood at the door, "Who are you looking for?"

"Does Cindy Botu live here?"

"Yes, who are you?"

Luke flashed his badge, "lapd."

"Whoa...I only saw it on TV, are you serious?"

"Of course, what's your relationship with Cindy Botu?"

"She's my mother."

"Is she home?"

"At home, what's the matter with you?"

"We want to ask her for some information, please call her out."

"Mom, the Los Angeles police are looking for you."

After a while, a woman about 50 years old came downstairs and looked at the door from the living room, "Police? What do you want me for?"

Luke looked at the other party and asked, "Are you Ms. Cindy Botu?"

"It's me, I haven't called the police."

"We came to you to find out about the 'Disappearance at Tellson Manor'."

"What? It's been 20 years, you guys are not liars, are you?"

Luke flashed his police badge again, "Some new clues have been found in this case, and I will make a record for you again."

Cindy Botu was stunned for a while, "OK, it's just too incredible."

"Can I go in and talk?"

"Of course." Cindy invited the two into the room, and told her daughter beside her, "Go get two cups of coffee."

Luke entered the living room and looked around. The room was cleaned very cleanly.

Cindy motioned for the two to sit on the sofa and asked, "Have you found Mrs. Anna? Is she okay?"

"We did find some clues to Anna, but we can't be sure yet."

"Then what do you want from me?"

"We want to ask some questions."

"OK, you can ask."

Cindy's daughter came over with a tray, put three cups of coffee on the coffee table, and then left the living room.

Luke continued, "Did you think of any new clues about the 'Disappearance at Tellson Manor' in recent years?"

"Come on, it's been 20 years, I almost forgot what Mrs. Anna looks like."

"Do you know Salman Khan?"

"The Asian chef in the manor?"

"Yes, do you have his contact information or know where he lives?"

"No."

Luke took out Cole's sketch portrait, "Know him?"

Cindy picked it up and took a closer look, "It looks familiar... Oh, is that him? The driver of the manor who was regarded as a suspect?"

"Yes, do you know his whereabouts?"

"No, I remember that he was treated as a suspect 20 years ago, and he didn't dare to return to Heim City at all."

Luke took out Tony's photo again, "Do you know him?"

Cindy picked up the photo and looked at it carefully, then shook her head, "I don't know it."

Luke did not give up, and took out Lawn's photo again, "Where is this person?"

Cindy shook her head again, "I have no impression."

Luke nodded and took the photo, "We are looking for people who worked at the manor back then. Do you still have contact with them? Knowing their address is also fine."

Cindy thought for a while, "Wow, it's been so long, I have to think about it... By the way, I met George. He also lived in Heim City and was the gardener of Tellson Manor back then."

After getting the address, the two of Luke said goodbye and left.

George's house is not far away, it only takes a few minutes by car.

Luke knocked on the door of George's house again, and it was an old black woman in her 60s who opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

"lapd, we are investigating the 'Disappearance of Tellson Manor' and want to find George to learn something."

The old woman thought for a while, "The case 20 years ago?"

"Yes."

"You are not liars. Although I am old, I am not confused at all."

Luke flashed his police badge, "We just came from Cindy's house, and she told us that George also worked at Tellson Manor."

"OK, come in." The old woman stepped aside and shouted into the room, "George, there are guests here."

After a while, a gray-haired black man in his 70s came out, "What guest? Are you asking me to decorate the flowers and plants? What kind?"

The old woman explained, "No, it's the police. They want to ask you about 'Tellson Manor'."

"What estate? Tyson's estate? The boxing one? He wants me to be the gardener?

I bought Karma, I heard that he raised a big tiger, he is really a pervert.

but I like it. "

The old woman spread her hands, "No, it's Tellson, where you used to work."

"I have been a gardener all my life, and I have worked in so many places, it is impossible to remember them all." The black old man looked at Luke and David, "Are you the police?"

"Yes."

"The police station can't do it either, I won't give a discount, don't even think about it."

Luke "..."

The old woman shook her head, "Sorry, he's getting old, and he started to suffer from dementia last year. He usually clears his mind after lunch break. You can come back at that time."

David and Luke left the house in a daze.

David seemed to be comforting himself, "After all, it is normal that it is not easy to investigate the case 20 years ago."

Luke got in the car, "Where are we going now?"

David picked up the notebook and drew it with a pen, "Next."

……

Half an hour later, they found Shane Carbin, who used to be a cook at Tellson Manor.

Xie Ni Kabin is now an aunt in her 50s who runs a tavern. She is more than 1.6 meters tall and has a similar waistline.

Luke felt that she might be heavier than himself.

After explaining her intentions, Xie Ni Kabin was very enthusiastic, "Oh, Tellson Manor, I still remember it. Salman Khan was working with me at the time, and the curry mutton he made was delicious."

"Do you still have contact with him?"

"No." Xie Ni Kabin whispered, "My husband will be jealous."

Luke agreed against his will, "Of course, he will." Then the topic changed, "In recent years, have you thought of any new clues about the 'disappearance at Tellson Manor'?"

"I had already been fired at that time, and I was not very clear about this case, and it had nothing to do with me."

Luke then asked her to help identify the photo.

When seeing Tony's photo, Xie Ni seemed to think of something, "This person... looks familiar."

"Where did you see him?"

"I'm not sure, this person is much older than I thought."

"This is a recent photo of him. His name is Tony. Let's reminisce..."

"Tony, Tony..." Xie Ni Kabin muttered, "I remembered, he seems to be the boyfriend of the manor maid."

Luke frowned slightly, "Is that maid Cindy Botu?"

"Yeah, it's Cindy, I haven't seen her for so many years, I almost can't remember."

Luke and the two left and immediately returned to Cindy Botu's house.

David slapped the steering wheel hard, "fuck, she tricked me."

Luke thought to himself, no wonder Cindy Botu would tell the address of Old George's home. George is already demented, so it is impossible to remember Tony's identity.

It can divert the attention of the police and buy time for escape.
