Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 262 A little more trust

  Xiao Hei smiled, "Let me introduce again, my name is Saul, nicknamed Brother Hammer."

  Luke patted him on the shoulder, motioning him to restrain himself a little, "What's Loki's full name?"

   "I don't know, I only know that his nickname is Rocky."

   "How did you get in touch?"

   "They took the initiative to find me."

   "Do you know that these goods were stolen from Jiangnan Supermarket?"

"have no idea."

   "Have you worked together before?"

   "No, this is the first time.

   I know it's not right, I'm in business.

   I didn’t want to buy it at first, but they threatened me that if I didn’t buy it, I would look down on them and retaliate against me and my supermarket.

  I could only compromise for safety reasons and bought their goods.

  I was forced. "

   "Why didn't you call the police?"

"It's useless, the police can't deal with them. They were only verbal threats at the time, and they haven't done any real harm. Even if the police come, they can only give verbal warnings. Once the police leave, I will be finished, and my supermarket will be finished." , the consequences are disastrous." As if afraid that Luke and the others would not believe it, Osmond added,

   "What I said is true, as long as those guys break it up into pieces and make a zero-yuan purchase in turn, my supermarket will go bankrupt within a month.

   This is still the simplest method. If they use criminal methods, they can destroy my supermarket in a day instead of a month.

  I'm a businessman, and I can't beat them. "

   "How can I find them?"

   "I don't know, they found me."

Luke frowned slightly. He felt that Osmond was concealing something, "Don't ask questions. Since you have made a deal, you must have had close contact with each other. Only if you provide as many clues as possible, the police can find them. .”

   Osmond asked back, "Aren't you going to investigate the poisoning case? Does this have anything to do with the poisoning case?"

   "During half a month, there were two poisoning cases in your supermarket, do you think it's just a coincidence?

  There are so many supermarkets, why did you choose to poison your supermarket?

   And it's not just the time, the method and method of poisoning are similar. If there is no connection between the two, I don't believe it.

  As long as we can find the person who poisoned the red wine, maybe we can also find some clues about poisoning the mineral water. "Luke's idea is to cross-reference the clues and evidence of the two cases, find the common ground, and maybe catch the poisoner by following the clues.

   Even the second poisoning case is likely to be an upgraded version of the first case.

  So, Luke decided to investigate the two cases together.

Osmond seemed to hear it in his heart, and began to follow Luke's train of thought, "Actually, after the red wine poisoning happened, I have been guessing who poisoned me, whether it was targeting me, or trying to destroy me. supermarket.

  I doubted the dismissed employees, doubted the competing supermarkets, and even wondered whether the customers who bought red wine touched porcelain.

   But this matter... I was wrong first, the source of the red wine is unknown, I have no way to claim compensation from the manufacturer, let alone call the police, so I can only accept it myself. "

  Osmond's words reminded Luke, "How much did you compensate those two customers who bought red wine?"

   "One forty thousand dollars, one for sixty thousand dollars."

   "You are very generous."

   "In that case, I have no choice. If the incident becomes serious, it will affect the business of the supermarket. I can only compromise and settle the matter. Every time I bring up this matter, I feel so distressed."

   "How much did you pay for these unknown items from Loki?"

   "20,000 dollars."

   "You paid 100,000 dollars for the stolen goods you bought with 20,000 dollars, don't you think it's ironic?"

   "It's ironic, I regret it to death.

   I will never do such a stupid thing again, of course, I have to get through this first... I don't know if I have a chance. "

  Luke said, "Have you ever thought about the possibility that the people who poisoned were the gang of thieves, who had been in contact with red wine and had enough opportunities to poison the wine.

  Selling these loot to you is only the first step, because they know it won't sell for much money.

   Their real purpose is to blackmail you with poisonous things.

  They knew the origin of the goods was unknown.

  They know you are afraid to call the police.

   They know they can get more money through extortion. "

After listening to Luke's words, Osmond showed an angry look and clenched his fists tightly, "You mean that Rocky, who sells stolen goods, and the customers who buy red wine are in the same group. They set a trap for me and joined forces. Come blackmail me."

   "This is just a guess. If you want to prove the truth, you have to find Loki first." Luke's words are obviously suspected of sowing discord.

   But Luke was deducing the case and said it aboveboard.

   As for believing it or not, it mainly depends on how deep the injury is.

Osmond only spent 20,000 U.S. dollars to buy the stolen goods, but because two bottles of poisoned red wine paid 100,000 U.S. dollars in compensation, this poisoning incident may even cause his supermarket to close down, and he has long been simmering with anger .

   This fire made him feel very uncomfortable, but he didn't know who to vent to.

  Luke's words pointed him to a vent, whether it was true or not, at least part of his anger could be vented, so that he wouldn't suffocate himself to death.

   "I thought about it again and recalled some things about Rocky. He is a white man, tall, about 190cm, with brown hair. He wears a mask. I can't see his appearance clearly.

   But he has a tattoo on his right arm, it looks like a centipede pattern, it's scary, I personally hate this kind of animal.

  Hope it will be helpful to you. "

   "What is your specific trading time?"

   "Rocky contacted me on August 7th and only gave me one day to think about it. We traded on the night of August 8th."

   "Where did you trade?"

   "In a warehouse where I store goods."

   "Where is the address of the warehouse?"

   "745 Arisa Avenue."

   "How did it get to the warehouse?"

   "It's a van, white, and they're covering up the license plate."

   "Have you sold all the loot you bought from them?"

   "No, after the accident with those two bottles of red wine, I didn't dare to sell them anymore, so I moved them back to the warehouse for storage."

   "How much red wine have you sold in total, and how many bottles of Cafira red wine are left?"

   "I received two boxes of red wine in total, a total of 12 bottles, and there should be one box left."

   "The rest of the stolen goods and red wine must be sealed up, and we need to identify them."

   Osmond showed a bit of bitterness, "It's up to you, my supermarket is over, what's the use of those things?"

   "Do you have Loki's contact information?"

   "He gave me a mobile phone number, and we contacted through that mobile phone number." Osmond rummaged through the phone and said, "626836384*"

  Based on Luke's experience, it is difficult to directly find out the 'true' identity of the owner with this kind of mobile phone number used for contact. "Are there any other clues about Loki?"

   "No."

   "Where are Loki's associates?"

   "His accomplices are also wearing masks. I can't see what they look like. I only know that they are all white."

   "How many people are there?"

   "It should be four." Osmond finished speaking, showing a worried look, "Will I... go to jail?"

   "Prepare bail."

   "God, how can I have any money now, why did I encounter such a mess..."

  Xiao Hei shrugged, "The seeds of crime have been planted since you collected the stolen goods."

   "I don't want to either, but in that case... I have no choice.

  Maybe in your eyes, they are just some insignificant punks, but for us small businessmen with no background, they are the most difficult and scary!

  This world is like this, the more you want to live well, the more difficult life will be. "

  Osmond admitted to collecting the stolen goods. He himself was taken to the police station for custody, and the stolen goods were also brought back to the police station for identification, especially the remaining Cafira brand red wine, which probably left clues about the poisoner.

  Leave these trivial matters to other people. Luke's goal is on Loki. Through Osmond's dictation, Luke has obtained several important clues.

  Suspect nickname, Rocky

  Race, White

  Physical characteristics, brown hair, height nearly 190CM

  Tattoo, right arm centipede pattern

  Mobile phone number, 626836384*

  Characteristics, gang crime

  The location of the crime, near the Korean community

  Investigation direction, suspected to have a gang background.

   The above information is already quite a lot.

  Luke handed the summarized information to Xiao Hei, "Do you have anything to add?"

  Xiao Hei looked at it, rubbed his chin and said, "Locky committed the crime on August 3, and sold the goods to Osmond on August 8. I think he will definitely contact the sales channel to shop around during this period.

  As long as he announces the sale of stolen goods on the Tao, someone will remember this incident, and it can also be used as one of the clues to confirm his identity. "

  Luke nodded, Xiao Hei was more familiar with the gang's rules than himself, "Can you find him?"

  Xiao Hei shrugged, "This guy is too white, he doesn't belong to my circle, so I don't have much hope."

   "Then check the phone number first.

  If the owner’s information cannot be found, I will ask the team leader to contact the Anti-Crafts and Anti-Drug Department and ask them to assist in investigating Loki’s identity. "Luke will not let David investigate privately, but will ventilate him privately.

   This is a business matter, there is no need to use my favor.

  If he asks David for help, David will definitely help, but the problem is that it is not good for David to help in private, even if he finds out the clues, he can't do meritorious service.

  Susan went to directly contact the Anti-Mafia and Anti-Drug Division.

  This job may still be handed over to David.

   But this belongs to the cooperation between the two departments, and it is a real contribution.

  …

eight pm.

   Luke returns home.

  As soon as the car stopped, I saw a beautiful woman sitting by the bamboo and rattan table in the yard.

   "Hey, isn't this Miss Dean? Why are you in my yard?"

   "I happened to pass by nearby, so I wanted to stop by, but unfortunately you were not at home. I was just about to call you, and I happened to see your car coming."

  Luke didn't believe her nonsense, and was a little dissatisfied, "It's really a coincidence, but it's better to call before coming to my house next time.

  Being a policeman has more enemies and a stronger sense of vigilance.

  It's dark at night, it's easy to misfire a gun, and it's not good to be accidentally injured. "

   "It doesn't sound like your marksmanship is very good?"

   "Except for a slower rate of fire, there are no disadvantages."

   Orti "…"

   "Sorry, I took the liberty this time, next time I will call ahead."

   "Come in and talk."

  Luke opened the door, turned on the light in the living room, and invited Orti into the house.

  Orti glanced at the living room, "Do you live alone?"

"Yes."

   "The cleaning is pretty clean."

  Luke smiled, "I guessed that you might come, and cleaned it in advance."

"Really?"

  Luke didn't answer, took out a bottle of red wine, poured two glasses, handed Orti a glass, "What can I do for you?"

  Orti raised his glass and took a sip, "Since you can guess that I'm coming, you should also be able to guess the purpose of my coming."

  Luke also took a sip of the wine, he was just talking nonsense, how could he really guess that Orti was coming.

  But since the other party came, the reason is not difficult to guess.

   Judging from the relationship between the two parties, the other party probably wants to introduce the entrusted case to himself.

  But I just declined once two days ago, and Orti could not have forgotten it so quickly. If it was an ordinary case, Luke would probably decline again.

   That is to say, this case has certain peculiarities, and it must be Luke.

   "Are you here for the poisoning case?"

   "As expected of Captain Luke, he guessed my purpose right away, I admire you."

   "Deputy team."

   "I heard that you will be promoted to captain soon."

  Luke tentatively asked, "Did your detective agency help me secretly?"

"No, you have your own promotion channels, which is why the firm values ​​you. After all, not everyone can get the US$320,000 consulting fee. If I can get this treatment, I may have already settled in Hawaii .

  I love the beach there. "

   Still being honest, Luke asked mysteriously, "Can you surf?"

   "Sure, that's interesting."

   "Cool, I've always wanted to learn to surf. If Coach Orti has time someday, we can make an appointment in advance."

   "My coaching fee is very expensive, even more expensive than last time."

  Luke laughed, "Isn't $320,000 enough?"

   "Money is only one aspect. I'm here to ask you for help today. You shouldn't refuse, right?"

   "Are you threatening me?"

   "No, I'm just making a condition."

  Luke asked back, "Then can I make a condition?"

"tell me the story."

   "Can I wear a thong next time?"

   Orti "…"

   "I came to you for work? Is that appropriate?"

   “I just don’t like being threatened.”

  Orti was helpless, "OK, I take back what I said earlier.

  I came to ask for your help today, I hope you can help me, Mr. Consultant. "

   "It's much more comfortable to listen to, let's talk about it."

   "We have received an entrustment from Wesson Company. They want to ask the detective agency to investigate the truth of the poisoning incident."

  Luke asked back, "Shouldn't it be lapd's job to investigate the truth? Why did you find a detective agency?"

   "You are right, it is indeed lapd's responsibility to investigate the case, but lapd cares about whether the case can be solved, and does not care about the life and death of Wesson.

   With such an incident, the situation of Weisen Company is very difficult. If it is not handled properly, the company may face the brink of bankruptcy.

  That's why the Wesson Company asked the detective agency to investigate. They hoped to learn more about the poisoning case.

   Only in this way can the public relations crisis be solved in a timely and effective manner and the company's losses can be recovered. "

   "Then you should also know that as a frontline investigator of the case, I can't tell you too much."

  " Then say something that can be said. Not all news needs to be kept secret, and news that is invalid for you may require detectives to spend a lot of time investigating.

   I would be very grateful if you could help. "

  Luke said, "I suddenly want to swim."

  Orti was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Does this have to be the case? Can't there be more trust between us?"

  Luke spread his hands, "If you don't want to swim? Then there is nothing to talk about."

  Orti was a little helpless, and smiled, "Does your house have a swimming pool?"

   "We can rent a room with a swimming pool in the hotel and talk."

   "This case is urgent and I'm short on time."

  Luke didn't speak, and didn't say anything.

   "OK, can I borrow the bedroom?"

  Luke pointed to lying on his side, "Please."

  Orti took her purse into the bedroom, the bedroom door opened a moment later, and Orti came out wearing **** lace pink underwear, even more see-through than a bikini.

  Orti strode gracefully across Luke with his long legs, walked around in a circle, and sat on the sofa opposite Luke, with his two long legs stacked together, "Can we talk now?"

  Luke went to the bathroom, took out a bath towel and handed it to her, "It wasn't my intention."

  Orti wrapped a bath towel, barely able to cover her private parts, still showing her two long legs, "Your eyes are very honest.

  Can I speak now? "

  “I have a lot of things in my head, and I don’t know what to say? In this way, you can ask me some questions, but I may not be able to answer them.”

   "Then I am not at a disadvantage?"

  Luke smiled, "How about I take it off too?"

  Orti took a deep breath and laughed angrily, "Can we start?"

   Luke made a please gesture.

   "How many poisoning cases of Weisen brand mineral water have occurred?"

   "4 up."

   "What poison?"

   "I can't tell you the specific ingredients, but what I can tell you is that it is highly toxic and can cause death in a short time."

   "Has anyone died already?"

"Yes."

"Several people?"

   "The death toll exceeds three."

   "Do you know the purpose of the murderer's poisoning?"

   "It's not clear yet."

   "Is it possible that other mineral water brands are instigated by the company behind the scenes?"

   "No such situation has been found for the time being."

   "How did the murderer poison it? Did he destroy the seal of the mineral water bottle?"

   "Yes, but the method is very clever, and the appearance is hard to see."

   "That is to say, it can be determined that someone maliciously poisoned it, and it is not a quality problem in the manufacturer's production."

   "Yes." There is nothing you can't say. If there is a problem with the quality, the police will come to your door sooner or later.

   It's just a matter of sooner or later.

   It is likely to be the time difference of this night.

   And the detective agency earns this money.

   Get the news the employer wants in the fastest time.

   "Are you sure you can solve this case?"

"No."

   "I thought you would say yes, after all, you have solved many big cases before."

   "This case is different from the previous cases, it's hard to say."

  Orti lowered her raised thighs, "Can I change now?"

   "We can chat again."

   "I hope next time, I can have a little more trust." After Orti finished speaking, he got up and went to the bedroom.

  The back view is graceful and intriguing.
