Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 181 Threat letter

   Police Detective Agency.

  Everyone returned to the police station one after another.

   Summarize the case in the office area.

  Susan hung up the phone, "I contacted Betty's school teacher, Betty didn't go to school today.

  Amy Ma's mobile phone sent a message to the teacher to ask for leave, so the school did not contact Betty's father.

   Judging from the current situation, this case may not be a simple robbery, but a case of burglary or kidnapping. "

  The deputy team thought for a while and said, "Generally speaking, if it is a kidnapping case, the suspect will make a blackmail call as soon as possible after the kidnapping is successful.

   On the one hand, it is to let the family members raise money as soon as possible, and on the other hand, it is worried that the family members will call the police.

   Now nearly twelve hours have passed since the case, but Mr. Kenneth did not know about it, nor did he receive a blackmail call.

   This is a bit out of the mold of a typical kidnapping case. "

   "Don't forget, Betty doesn't only have one father." Susan said, looking at Jenny aside, "Have you contacted Betty's mother?"

   "Yes. I have already rushed this way, and I think it should be here soon." Jenny nodded, and added, "From the tone of her voice, it seems that she doesn't know about her daughter's kidnapping, and she is very anxious."

  Luke asked, "Have you found out more about Amy Ma?"

  Matthew said, "Her mobile phone number is currently out of contact. The last message was to Teacher Betty, and the last call was to Mark.

  At present, there are not many valuable clues found. She immigrated from China, and there are very few official information, and no immediate family members can be found.

   Only a white Toyota sedan with a license plate number of 7qeb332 was found under his name. "

  After summarizing the clues, Luke began to recall the whole case.

  Although the scene was checked and the reporter was questioned, the overall situation of the case is not clear.

  The suspect’s purpose of committing the crime is also unclear.

  If it was a robbery, why did Amy Ma and Betty disappear?

  If it was a kidnapping case, the scene was too messy, and the family members did not receive extortion calls.

   Could it be that the real target of the suspect is not Betty, but Amy Ma?

  Amy Ma has her own problems.

  She pretended to be Mrs. Kenneth to hook up with the young white guy Mark, and she was not a simple-minded person.

  Although he made a record for Mark, Luke felt that his suspicion was not great.

   But Mark wasn't necessarily the only one to be tricked.

  Amy Ma has other doubts.

   Like the expensive clothes and cosmetics found in her room.

  People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. If it weren't for these expensive clothes, Mark might not be so easily deceived.

  Luke checked online for a piece of clothing of the same style, and it was worth more than fifteen hundred dollars, which ordinary nanny couldn't afford.

   "Boom..."

  The office door rang, interrupting Luke's thoughts.

  Rett pushed the door and walked in.

  Behind him was a middle-aged Asian woman with capable demeanor, wearing a professional dress, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Betty.

  Rett straight to the point, "Captain Susan, have you found Betty's whereabouts?"

"not yet."

  Rett pointed to the Asian woman on the side, "This is Betty's mother, Ms. Li, who is also the deputy mayor of Los Angeles."

  Jenny opened her mouth wide and muttered softly, "No wonder I feel a little familiar."

  Xiao Hei also widened his eyes, apparently not expecting such a relationship with the victim.

   "My name is Mei Li, and I'm Betty's mother. How is she doing now? I want to know about the progress of the case."

  Susan nodded, "Please follow me to the meeting room.

  Luke, you come in too. "

  Afterwards, Luke, Susan, Reid, and Li Mei entered the meeting room.

  As soon as she entered the conference room, Li Mei couldn't wait to ask, "Is Betty missing? What's going on?"

  Luke briefly described the situation of the case.

  Li Mei shook her head and sighed, "Damn it, how could such a terrible thing happen."

  Luke said, "Ms. Li, I can understand your feelings, but the situation is more urgent now, and we need to make a record for you."

  Li Mei took a deep breath to calm down her emotions, "OK, let me ask."

  Luke cut to the chase, "Did you receive a blackmail call?"

   "No. I didn't know what happened to Betty when you guys called. It was horrible, and I felt so guilty that I wasn't a good mother."

   "When did you and your husband get divorced?"

   "It's been more than a year, does this have something to do with the case?"

  “We need to learn as much as possible about the situation so that we can find a breakthrough in the case as soon as possible.”

  Li Mei nodded, "Go ahead and ask."

   "Why did you and your husband divorce?"

   "Emotional discord."

   "Is there a third party?"

  "No, both of us have a strong sense of professionalism. We put too much energy into our careers, and we are unwilling to make concessions to each other, so we finally reached this point.

   But our relationship is not bad, it can be regarded as a relatively peaceful divorce. "

   "Do you have only one daughter, Betty?"

"Yes.

   "As far as I know, most divorced children will follow their mothers. Did you voluntarily give up custody?"

   "Yes, my work is too busy, busier than my husband. So...

  I regret it, I really regret it. If Betty had followed me, this might not have happened.

  If... I will renew the custody fight. "

  Luke wrote down in his notebook that if he wanted to fight for custody, he had a motive.

   "Where were you last night between nine and twelve?"

  “I was interviewed by a news column from nine to ten o’clock, and then I went to a friend’s party. It was past twelve o’clock when I got home.”

   "What party, can anyone prove it?"

   "Frank was there at the time, if you don't believe me, you can ask him.

  I won't lie about this kind of issue, you don't need to doubt me, I hope to find my daughter sooner than anyone else.

  Don't put your energy on me, hurry up and investigate other clues. "

  Luke is not satisfied with this answer, what is Frank also?

   Can I **** call Frank to check?

  Who is idle looking for excitement.

   "Are you close to Betty?"

  Li Mei sighed, "I love her, but I seldom spend time with her, so..."

   "That is to say, you don't communicate often, and you don't know her recent situation?"

   "Yeah, I'm not a good mother, and I feel guilty, very guilty."

   "Do you know Amy Ma?"

   "Before Kenneth and I divorced, she was already Betty's nanny. She is not bad, she is quite responsible, and she can cook.

  Betty has Asian descent, but she rarely comes into contact with Asians, so I also hope that through this method, Betty can learn more about Asian culture.

  Where is Amy Ma?

  Is Betty's disappearance related to her? "

   "It's not clear yet, we are investigating." Luke responded, and changed the topic, "How is the financial situation of you and your ex-husband, Mr. Kenneth?"

   "It's not bad. My ex-husband is not only a university teacher, but also an external consultant for a biological experiment company. His salary is higher than mine."

   "How much is Amy Ma's monthly salary?"

   "About five thousand dollars."

  Although this salary is not low, it is obviously not enough to support Amy Ma to buy expensive clothes.

   "If, I mean, if, Betty is kidnapped, do you have anyone to suspect?"

  Li Mei took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice, "Some time ago, I received a 'threatening email'.

  The content is, immediately resign as deputy mayor, otherwise, get ready to say goodbye to your daughter.

  After receiving this threatening email, I was also a little worried, so I quickly contacted Betty.

   Relaxed when she saw that she was fine.

   I thought it was a prank or a little trick to scare people, so I didn't take it too seriously.

  Thinking about it now, Betty's disappearance is probably related to that threatening email. "

  Luke asked, "Since I received a threatening email, why didn't I call the police at that time?"

  Li Mei said helplessly, "At that time, I had just accepted the post of deputy mayor, and there were too many things to attend to.

   I thought it was a little trick by my political enemies to distract me.

  If work is delayed because of this incident, my situation will be very passive.

   So, I chose to ignore it.

  After a while, I almost forgot, I didn't expect...

  Everyone, please find my daughter. If there is anything I need to do, just ask. "

  Susan said, "If the kidnapper asks for a ransom, they must tell us as soon as possible."

"I will."

  Susan also asked a few questions, but Li Mei didn't know much about her daughter and didn't provide any valuable clues.

  The transcript is over.

   Li Mei begged again, she must save her daughter.

  Rett sent Li Mei out of the office, and not long after, Reid left and returned.

  Close the office door, "Guys, you should know the importance of this case, the blackmail case is different from other cases.

  Other cases only require the arrest of the suspect, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later.

  But the kidnapping case is related to the life of the victim.

  So it is important to solve the case, and it is even more important to rescue the victim Betty. "

  Rett left after repeated urgings.

  There is no such thing as equality for everyone. Police patrols vary in different communities in the United States.

   What's more, it was the deputy mayor's daughter who was kidnapped.

   The stakes are high.

  Of course, if Betty can be successfully rescued, huge benefits can also be obtained.

   Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!
