Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 158 staring at her

  Luke, Xiao Hei, Bart and others all stood outside the warehouse.

  Bart smiled, "Dempsey, I heard you have a crush on me?"

   "Hey..." Xiao Hei let out a smirk.

"Bart, that's a good joke." Dempsey hid the license plate behind his back. He didn't expect that there would be someone outside the warehouse, and the Mustang was right at the door. He wanted to put the license plate directly into the car and find an inconspicuous place Bury the license plate.

   "I still have something to do, let's talk about it another day." Dempsey forced a smile and was about to get in the car and leave.

   "Man, what are you holding?" Bart walked to the Bronco, standing in front of Dempsey.

   "It's none of your business." Dempsey put the license plate behind him with his left hand, and pulled the door with his right hand, as if he wanted to force his way into the car and leave.

   "You despicable guy!" Bart swung his hamburger-sized fist, hitting Dempsey directly on the cheek.

   Dempsey took precautions, raised his left arm to cover his face, and hit his fist on the arm, knocking him back a few steps.

  The license plate also fell to the ground.

   "Fuck!" Dempsey rubbed his arm in pain.

"you deserve it!"

  Two people wrestled together, you punched me and I elbowed each other. Although it didn't feel technically high, the punches hit the flesh.

   Xiao Hei enjoyed watching from the sidelines.

  Luke picks up the license plate on the ground and examines it, 5CFb382.

  The number is the same as Barton's license plate number, plus the black pickup truck of the same style in the garage, it's a sure thing.

  However, investigations cannot be based on conjecture alone, but on actual evidence.

  Luke walked into the garage to check the pickup truck, and carefully checked around the pickup truck. There were scratches on the right side and sand grains on the tires, which were consistent with the suspect vehicle.

  Luke snapped his fingers, Xiao Heixin understood, and pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Dempsey, "lapd, the party is over, raise your hand."

  lapd is still very intimidating.

   Dempsey panicked, distracted.

  Bart punched him in the face and knocked him to the ground, "Bastard, let's see if you still dare to spy on me."

  Xiao Hei glanced at Bart, "You're welcome."

   Then handcuffed Dempsey.

  Luke waved, "Marcus, bring Dempsey into the warehouse.

  Bart, wait outside with your brother. "

   "I owe you a favor this time." Bart spat at Dempsey.

  Close the warehouse door, turn on the lights, Luke looked at the man with the cross, "Your name is Dempsey?"

   "It's me, what do you want?"

  Luke patted the pickup truck with the license plate, "What's going on?"

   "I don't know what you mean?"

   Luke said, "There is no point in talking about it when the evidence is solid."

   Dempsey said stiffly, "Then talk about your so-called conclusive evidence, lapd can't arrest people at will!"

   "I've already told Barton, and I'm not interested in saying it again." Luke threw the fake license plate on the car, "If you confess, I'll take you back to the police station.

  If you don't admit it, we'll leave, it's that simple. "

   "Hehe, when the police station has become a hot spot, even if your chief invites me, I don't want to go."

   "The five strong men outside think so too." Luke gestured to leave, "Marcus, uncuff him."

  Marcus didn't react for a while, "Why? Just let him go."

  Luke pointed outside the door, implying something, "lapd talks about evidence, but some people don't talk about it."

  Xiao Hei understood, and smiled at Dempsey, "I heard that those five perverts like to plant grenades in the back, you'd better have relevant experience before.

   I'm not trying to scare you.

  I don't like the five guys outside like you. Those white guys are perverts. They can do anything, just ask yourself. "

   Dempsey tightened his buttocks, a little uneasy, "You can't do this."

   Luke asked back, "What's wrong?"

   Dempsey pointed at the warehouse door, "The group of people outside can do anything, and they won't let me go."

   "Do you have evidence?

  There is no evidence, and we can't arrest people randomly, and we are the robbery and murder department, and we don't care about ordinary living people. "Luke took a few steps, turned around,

   "Of course, in your case, there is a high chance that we will meet again."

   "Hey." Xiao Heijian laughed, "Next time we meet, I hope you will be neat and tidy. This is my sincere blessing, God bless you."

   Luke and the two went straight to the warehouse door, making gestures to open the warehouse door.

   Dempsey was anxious, "Hey, you can't do this, you can't throw me to them, they will tear me apart."

  Luke asked back, "Then what should we do? How about we take you back to the police station?"

   Dempsey looked at the warehouse door. He could see the shoes of five people through the gap under the door. He became more and more uneasy, "OK, I can go to the police station with you."

  Luke lit a cigarette, "Tell me a reason to take you away. Like you said, lapd can't arrest people at will."

   "Listen, as long as you take me back to the police station, I'll tell you everything, OK?"

  Luke is an old detective, so he can't be easily fooled by him, "I'll give you ten seconds..."

  …

   "Bang bang bang..." At this time, several strong men outside the door were already pushing the warehouse door.

   Dempsey's psychological defense completely collapsed, "Don't count, as long as I don't hand me over to those bastards, I will tell you all."

   "Then don't waste your time."

   "Huh..." Dempsey took a deep breath, "I threw that body into the sea."

   "How did you throw it into the sea?"

   Dempsey pointed to the black pickup truck next to him, "It was thrown into the sea with this deck car."

   "Tell me the specific time?"

   "It's past one in the morning, maybe around two o'clock."

   "Who is the deceased?"

"I have no idea."

   "Why do you kill people? Is it robbery of wealth? Or robbery of sex?"

  "No, I just dumped the corpse, I didn't kill people."

   "Who killed that?"

   "I don't know, I'm just in charge of disposing of the corpse."

  Luke leaned on the pickup truck, a little dissatisfied, "I am as impatient as the five strong men outside, don't jump out word by word, tell me everything you know."

   "This environment makes me very disturbed. I have pleaded guilty. You can take me back to the police station and I will tell you everything."

   "It's not clear, you can't go anywhere." Luke's attitude is very firm.

  Demps scratched his hair vigorously, "Last night, I received a call from the owner of Dracula's bar, he said that someone died outside the bar and asked me to dispose of the body.

  I drove into the car and a black security guard at the bar carried the body into the car and drove to the beach to dump the body. I was not lucky and was seen by a homeless man nearby.

   I paid him a fortune to shut him up, and apparently, he didn't. "

  Luke pressed, "What's the bar owner's name?"

   "Robin Dodgers."

   "What's the name of the bar security guard who threw the body with you?"

   "Archib Dodgers."

  Luke writes down in his notebook, "Why use this deck?"

   "I have some personal grievances with Bart. He is stubborn in some ways and can easily offend people.

   is an **** with a lot of criminal records. As long as the police find him, he will definitely be arrested.

  I can see the situation from home and can give early warning.

  Originally everything was as I thought, but I didn't expect...to be followed by you. Speaking of this, Dempsey was a little unwilling and puzzled, "How did you find me?" "

  Xiaohei smiled, "It's actually very simple, are you observing Bart's situation with binoculars?

  The binoculars can gather and reflect light, which is not a good solution. "

   Dempsey looked stunned, "You found me?"

  Xiao Hei didn't answer directly, but shrugged, with an expression of nothing.

  Luke smiled, and then asked, "Tell me about the situation when you found the body?"

   Dempsey shook his head, "There is no special situation, I just carried the corpse into the car."

   Luke said, "Dempsey, don't lie, we know more about the situation than you think, and don't forget, you are not the only one who dumped the body."

   "I'm not lying, I just moved the body to the car and threw it into the sea. I really didn't do anything else."

   "What about the other belongings of the deceased?"

   Demps licked his lips, "No other items were found around the body, and we paid the homeless people back."

   "Describe the condition of the dead body?"

   "Blood on the neck, eyes wide open, pale, that's about it."

   "When you were moving the corpse, did you see any suspicious people?"

"No."

   "Did anyone else touch the corpse before you moved it?"

"have no idea."

   "Who was the first to discover the body?"

   Dempsey shook his head, "I don't know, I went there only after receiving a phone call from Robin, the owner of the bar. I didn't ask too many questions. The more I know, the more troublesome I will be."

   "What's your relationship with Robin, the bar owner?"

   "Employment relationship, I can also be regarded as the security guard of the bar. I will help him solve some troublesome things. For example, if someone makes trouble in the bar, if the ordinary bar security can't persuade him, I will persuade him."

   "What persuasion?"

   Dempsey waved his fist, "Use this to persuade."

   "I'm very interested in Dracula's Bar, let me introduce you."

   "Uh... it's a vampire-themed bar. Most of the guests who go there are vampire lovers, and there are quite a few freaks. I'm not surprised that something like this happened."

   "Has anything like this happened before?"

   "This is the first time that a human being has been killed."

   "How do you think she died?"

   "I don't know, but there is blood on her neck. I guess... maybe someone stabbed a blood vessel in her neck."

   "Is there a lot of blood at the crime scene?"

"not much."

   "Not much is how much?"

   "There is only a small pool of blood left along the neck, which is less than the size of a palm."

   "Is the scene cleared?"

"Yes."

  Luke sighed, "Do you know how much trouble this kind of destruction of the scene and the corpse will bring to the investigation of the case?"

   "Sorry, this is not my intention, I just take money to do things, this is the bar owner Robin's instruction."

  Luke said coldly, "Put him in handcuffs."

  Marcus took out the handcuffs and shook, "I'd love to."

   "Take me to the police station, don't leave me behind, Bart and his gang won't let me go."

  Xiao Hei smiled and said, "I have been a policeman for so many years, and this is the first time someone was caught in the police station begging."

   A few minutes later, a large number of lapds rushed outside the warehouse.

  These police officers are not used to deal with Dempsey, but to deter Bart and his gang.

  Bart and his group are usually very arrogant, but under the deterrence of lapd, they all turned into good babies, got in the car and ran away.

  lapd has always fought more and less, supported quickly, and equipped well, which is why they are not afraid of any gang.

  Once there is a firefight, there will be more and more policemen around, and the equipment will become more and more fierce, and the suspect will soon fall into despair.

   In the past, some gang members tried to provoke the police, but the whole gang was surrounded by lapd, so don't end up too badly.

  …

eight pm.

   Dracula Bar.

  Luke, Xiao Hei, Raymond, David, and Jenny rushed to the bar.

  The car stopped near the bar, and Luke saw some young people dressed in different clothes, with blood-red cloaks, red pupils, blood-red lips, long fangs, vampire masks, etc.

  Xiao Hei opened his upper lip and touched his teeth, "These guys are walking around wearing murder weapons. Should we catch them to identify the tooth marks, maybe we can catch the murderer."

  Jenny said, "If you're not afraid of getting soft hands for receiving the indictment, you can give it a try."

  Xiao Hei pointed to his temple, "We can think of a way, for example, have a good talk with the bar owner and ask him to hold an event in the bar.

  We can call it a tooth marks beauty contest, each contestant bites his own tooth marks on the mold, and the person with the most beautiful tooth marks can win the grand prize.

   What do you think of my idea? "

  Luke smiled, "It's a good idea, I can suggest it to the bar owner later."

   It's a good thing that Xiao Hei started to use his brain, and Luke didn't dampen his enthusiasm.

However, this method is theoretically feasible. If it is filming a TV series, it can be regarded as a good plot, but in practice, there will be logic problems. The suspect is not stupid. He knows that he has killed someone and bit the deceased, so what? Might go to this contest.

  In addition, as Jenny said just now, if this thing is not done well, it will be sued, and the more people involved, the bigger the problem. Luke doesn't want to get into trouble.

   Subsequently, the five entered the bar in two batches.

  As soon as you enter the bar, the whole atmosphere is different again.

  The light in the bar is a bit dim, and I need to get used to it when I first enter the door, and then there is a blast of rock music [those streets have darkened, and my pulse has stopped.

   When I run to you...

   Sitting there, not realizing what I'm about to do...

   My fangs hurt whenever I think of you.

   Blood!

   Blood!

  Blood...]

   This is a song about vampires, full of blood stars and profiteering lyrics. (anti-harmony)

   Entering the interior of the bar is like entering a medieval castle. It is dark, damp, and faintly musty. The bar counter is made of coffins, and there are many crosses around it.

  Xiao Hei pointed at a man wearing a vampire cloak, "Is he drinking blood?"

  A white man held a blood bag in his hand, opened his mouth, exposed his fangs, and bit the blood bag with a look of enjoyment.

  Luke wrinkled his nose, "No, that's not blood, it's wine."

  Xiao Hei raised his eyebrows, "Wow, this bar is quite unique. How did the owner come up with the idea of ​​using blood bags as wine glasses?"

  David smiled, "Just ask him and you'll know."

   According to Bart's inquiry, the bar owner Robin usually stays in the private room on the second floor.

   As soon as Luke and the others reached the stairs on the second floor, they were stopped by a security guard in a white shirt and black trousers, "Guys, go downstairs for fun, this is not the place for you."

  Xiao Hei stepped forward and said hello, "Hey, I finally saw a normal person. I almost thought I had really come to the vampire's castle."

  The security guard also noticed the abnormality, "What are you here for? A kind reminder, it's best to leave quickly and go up, you don't know what you will encounter?"

   "Haha, I admit that I was scared. Although I don't know what I will encounter, I know what you will encounter." Xiao Hei showed his police badge, "We want to see Robin."

  The security guard sighed, "You guys wait here, I'll report."

  David passed Xiao Hei and stepped forward, "Wait? You haven't figured out the situation yet." David pulled off his jacket with his right hand, revealing the gun on his waist, "Take me to see your boss immediately!"

  The black security guard and David looked at each other for a moment, then turned their gazes to the side. After all, they gave up and took Luke and his party up to the second floor.

The height of the bar is high, and the view on the second floor is very good. From here, you can see the situation of the entire hall. As far as you can see, there are a group of young men and women in strange clothes, bouncing around, looking like crazy monsters. It's possible to be intimidated here.

  Luke somewhat understood why the dead woman was frightened to death.

   What is scary is not only the young man dressed as a vampire, but also the surrounding environment and music. The whole atmosphere seems to have entered a vampire world.

  For those young people who dress up as vampires on the dance floor, this is a place to completely release themselves, maybe someone will really think of themselves as a vampire.

  Suddenly, Luke's eyes locked on a woman, a black woman in her thirties—Pari Jones.

  The female reporter who questioned Luke as an exhibitionist during the shooting press conference.

  Why is she here?

  Luke couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

  This woman is wearing a blue dress and red lips. Compared with the people around her, she looks a lot more normal, but she looks a little abnormal in this bar.

  Luke can tell at a glance that she is in a different state from the people around her. The people around her release themselves as if no one else is there, but she looks around, like a calm observer.

   This shows that she doesn't enjoy the atmosphere here, and she didn't come here to play. It's more like she has some purpose?

  Is this female reporter here to investigate the matter?

   Track yourself?

   It doesn't look like it.

   Investigating a vampire murder case?

  The police have not released clues to the outside world. It stands to reason that the reporter should not know about this situation.

  Unless she has other news channels.

   "Luke, what are you looking at, don't you go in?" Xiao Hei leaned over and shouted in Luke's ear.

   "Not so loud, I can hear you. I'm about to go in, but you don't go in."

"Why?"

  Luke was afraid of being discovered by the female reporter Pali Jones, so he didn't use his fingers, "Do you know the woman in blue at three o'clock?"

  Xiao Hei poked his head and looked carefully, "I don't have any impression."

   "OK, that means she doesn't know you either, just stare at her."
