Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 268 Transfer

   Robbery and Murder Division.

   One squadron meeting room.

  Susan pushed her glasses and asked with a serious face, "Luke, how was the interrogation going?"

   "Not so good, he won't plead guilty."

  Susan guessed this possibility, but still couldn't help asking, "Who can pry Markway's mouth open?"

  The deputy team said, "The poisoning case resulted in five deaths and one injury. It was too harmful and the crime was too serious. Even if he voluntarily pleaded guilty, he would be sentenced to death.

  If you do not plead guilty, you still have a chance to fight in court. Even if the chance is pitiful, there is a glimmer of hope after all.

   So, it is not surprising that Markway made this choice. "

  Susan asked, "Deputy team, you have a lot of experience, how do you think we should deal with it?"

   "Actually, it is not impossible for him to plead guilty voluntarily.

  I think there are three ways. The first way is that the person he cares about is also involved in this case. In order to avoid the person he cares about being implicated, he may take the initiative to plead guilty.

  The second method can be to use the aggressive method. Many suspects who have committed serious crimes have taken life and death lightly.

   The third method is to influence him, which I am not very good at. After the deputy team finished speaking, he took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat.

   "If these three methods are ineffective for the suspect, then the only option is to go to court.

  What we have to do is to collect as many criminal evidence as possible. "

  Luke also agreed with the deputy team's idea, thought for a while and said, "I have been observing Markway during the interrogation, and I feel that these three methods have little effect on him.

  I'm not sure about getting him to confess. Luke changed the subject and looked at Vincent aside, "Deputy team, why don't you try?" "

   "I will look at your interrogation record tonight, study it, and interrogate Markway tomorrow." The deputy team did not refuse.

  He has been a police officer for so many years, and besides the reason of money, he really likes this job.

  Susan said, "The poisoning case involved many dead people, and the whole case is relatively complicated. Mark Wei refused to plead guilty, so we can only analyze the crime process by ourselves and connect the whole case together.

  Luke, you have a more comprehensive grasp of the whole case, so you can analyze it. "

  Luke did not refuse, and organized his language, "The focus of everyone's attention is the mineral water poisoning case. In fact, before the mineral water poisoning case, there was a red wine poisoning case in Shanyuan Supermarket.

  The two cases are related to a certain extent. I think we should start with the red wine poisoning case.

  The original origin of the case was Gangnam Supermarket. The female owner of Gangnam Supermarket was Li Sunmi. She immigrated to Los Angeles through the relationship of her cousin Kim Soo-hye. She got a lot of help from her cousin Kim Soo-hye during the initial period.

  After more than ten years of development, Li Shanmei's life is getting better and better, the husband and wife have a harmonious relationship, and the economic conditions are prosperous.

  But Jin Xiuhui's life is not as good as before. The reversal of the situation of the cousins ​​makes Jin Xiuhui very disappointed and unwilling.

  Under this long-term psychological gap, Jin Xiuhui gradually developed resentment towards Li Sunmi. She didn't want her cousin to live a better life than herself.

   On the night of August 3, the Jiangnan Supermarket had a power outage and the surveillance cameras were unavailable.

  Jin Xiuhui put several bottles of poisonous red wine prepared in advance into Jiangnan Supermarket, and she wanted to bring down Jiangnan Supermarket in this way.

  After she left the supermarket, a group of thieves also wanted to take advantage of the power outage to rob Jiangnan Supermarket, and sold the looted goods to Shanyuan Supermarket, including three bottles of poisoned red wine.

  Three customers bought poisonous red wine from Shanyuan Supermarket and had a stomachache after drinking it. Two of them filed a claim against Shanyuan Supermarket.

   There is another customer who did not claim compensation from Shanyuan Supermarket.

   This client is the boyfriend of the poisoner Markway, Moses.

   It was because of drinking this poisonous bottle of red wine that Markway was inspired to plan the next mineral water poisoning case.

  Markway’s real target is Darcy, who often goes to Shanyuan Supermarket to buy Weisen brand mineral water.

  Markway is Darcy's agent, and he knows Darcy's habits very well.

  Darcy is a stand-up performer. During the performance, his mouth is prone to dry mouth. He often buys some mineral water and stores it in his locker.

   Markway used this to kill people.

  He first bought Weisen brand mineral water, then used tools to poison the mineral water, and put it in Shanyuan Supermarket for sale. "

   Luke also paused when he said this, and took a sip of green tea.

  Jackson took the opportunity to ask, "I don't understand one thing, even if Markway poisoned Shanyuan Supermarket, how can he be sure that Darcy will buy poisonous mineral water?

  Shanyuan Supermarket has a lot of mineral water, but only two bottles of poisonous mineral water were found. The probability of this is very low. "

  Luke put down his teacup, "Not two bottles, Markway only put a bottle of poisonous mineral water in Shanyuan Supermarket. And that bottle of poisonous mineral water was bought by the female victim who was climbing the mountain.

  Some of the mineral water was thrown into the subway station by young Tom. His purpose was to confuse the public and make the police think that this was a random poisoning case.

  The bottle of mineral water that Darcy drank was put in secretly by him.

  He is Dulcey's agent, and there is no difficulty in doing this.

   This is also the reason why Markway chose to poison Shanyuan Supermarket.

  Darcy often goes to Shanyuan Supermarket to buy things, including Weisen brand mineral water.

  Once Darcy was poisoned by Weisen brand mineral water, the police would track him down to Shanyuan Supermarket, mistakenly thinking that he bought the poisonous mineral water in the supermarket himself.

   would treat Dulcey as a random victim of a poisoning.

  In this way, Markway can escape the police investigation smoothly. "

  Xiao Hei said with emotion, "This guy is really insane. In order to kill a Darcy, he asked four people to be buried with him, including a twelve-year-old boy.

  He must be sentenced to death, this kind of person is terrible. "

  Susan asked, "What is his motive for committing the crime?"

   "Dulcey has made a name for himself, has been invited by the TV station, and is about to become a star.

  Darcy wanted to get rid of Markway, the agent, and the two had conflicts because of their interests.

  Markway is gay, and Darcy may have stimulated him verbally, making him even more unacceptable.

   Under the attack of both interests and self-esteem, Markway was dazzled by anger and chose to poison Darcy.

  As for buying poison from the Internet, everyone knows it, so I won't go into details. "

  Susan flipped through the documents and sighed, "This case involves multiple deceased persons, and we must be prepared to go to court when Markway refuses to plead guilty.

   Collect as many clues and evidence of the case as possible, everyone is busy. "

  The deputy team laughed, "I bet, Rhett will complain about the funding again after seeing us."

  Susan took off her glasses, "Then you have to find a way to get Markway to plead guilty."

   "Do your best, I'll try."

   "Good, we will drive here first." Susan stood up, "Luke, come to my office."

  …

  The two entered the captain's office one after the other.

  Susan gestured for Luke to sit down on the opposite chair.

   "Captain, what can I do for you?"

  Susan sat across the table, did not speak immediately, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, "I'm going to be transferred."

  Luke was a little surprised. Although he knew he was going to be promoted, the Robbery and Murder Division had three squadrons. Even if Luke wanted to be promoted to captain, he didn't necessarily have to take over as the captain of any squadron.

   "Where are you tuning to?"

   "Department of Internal Affairs of the General Administration."

   "You are going to be promoted, congratulations."

  Susan previously worked in the Detective Department's Internal Affairs Department.

"Thanks."

   "However, why did you transfer back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

   "Actually, before I came to the Robbery and Murder Division, I was originally going to be transferred to the Internal Affairs Department of the General Administration, but there were some accidents in the middle..."

   "What accident? Is there something wrong with the Robbery and Murder Department?"

   "No, I have some personal problems." Susan hesitated and spread her hands, "Actually, there is nothing we can't say.

   It's about my son.

  My son was also a former police officer.

  He violated some police regulations. Originally, I could help him, as long as I wanted.

   But, I didn't do that...he got kicked off the force.

  Because of this matter, the relationship between the two of us is very tense.

  He thought I was too old-fashioned and dogmatic, always talking about regulations, and didn't understand the difficulty of front-line police officers dealing with suspects. Susan sighed softly.

  “At the time, I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong.

  I act in accordance with the law and the regulations of the police station.

   Colleagues around me also praised me for being unselfish, but I could feel their alienation.

  During that time, I had some self-doubt...

   Later, there happened to be an opportunity, and the captain of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division was transferred away.

  At that time, No. 1 Squadron’s investigation style was a bit out of the ordinary, and it was a well-known stabbing department. Reid hoped that someone could control No. 1 Squadron and standardize No. 1 Squadron’s investigation methods.

   So, I transferred to the first squadron.

  The current No. 1 Squadron has undergone great changes, and with such an excellent captain candidate like you, it's time for me to leave. "

  Susan said sincerely, "I recommend you to Rhett, and I believe you will do better than me."

   "Thank you Captain." Luke showed a grateful look.

  Although even if Susan does not recommend Luke, Rhett may still let Luke take over as the captain, but with Susan's recommendation, it is tantamount to a certainty.

   In a way, her opinion matters.

  If she feels that Luke is not suitable, then Luke will probably not be able to take over as a squadron leader;

  Assuming that Reid insists on Luke taking over, once there is a problem after Luke takes over, Reid will bear a lot of responsibility.

   So, this is the best outcome.

  Luke asked back, "Captain, did you get what you wanted?"

   "Well." Susan said, "I have been working for the Ministry of Internal Affairs for nearly twenty years. Although I don't want to admit it, there are many differences between us and ordinary police officers.

   Taking over as the captain of the No. 1 Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division, I had the opportunity to get in touch with the suspects, and also experienced first-hand the difficulties of front-line police officers in handling cases.

  I knew about these difficulties before, but the feeling of knowing and experiencing is different.

  The work during this period is very important to me, and it gives me the confidence to face the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a better attitude and a more comprehensive perspective. "

  Luke asked with a smile, "If I make a mistake in the future, will you cover me?"

  Susan was stunned for a moment, "Make fewer mistakes."

"Thanks."

  Luke was satisfied with this answer.

  …

eight pm.

   Mezque.

   "Cheers." The investigation of the case came to an end, and everyone came to the bar to relax.

  In addition to a few people from the first squadron, Luke also called David.

  David put down his glass and asked, "I heard that you caught the poisoned bastard?"

  Xiao Hei replied, "That's right, it's Mark Wei, the manager of the dead man on the talk show."

   "Why did that **** poison?"

  David is not an outsider, and Xiao Hei did not hide it, "The dead man of the talk show wants to terminate his contract with him. This guy feels that he has been abandoned, so he wants to take revenge on the other party."

  “At first I thought it was really a random poisoning case.”

"So are we."

  Luke said, "By the way, there is one more thing to tell you, during our investigation, there was a talk show actor named Kenneth who lied about being a murderer in order to become famous.

  We applied to search his home and found a large number of D drugs, which are going to be handed over to your anti-mafia and anti-drug department.

   We will also charge him with obstruction of law enforcement. "

  David said disapprovingly, "I am not surprised at all that talk show actors take drugs.

   It's normal for these guys to **** D in order to keep excited. "

  Luke said, "Don't give him a plea deal."

   David laughed, "He offended you."

  Xiao Hei drew a circle with his right index finger, "Everyone."

   "I will take good care of him." David showed an expression that I understand, and then asked Xiao Hei, "Hey, I heard that you are getting married. Is it true?"

   "Really, I will invite you."

   "I bought it!" David showed an exaggerated look, "Are you crazy?"

   "I'm pretty normal."

   "That's why this world is crazy." David still couldn't believe it, took a sip of wine to suppress his shock, "Who is the marriage partner?"

   "You know it too."

   "Are you turning back? Julian?"

   "That's right, it's her."

   "Are you sure you didn't play tricks on me?" David asked Xiao Hei, but his eyes turned to other people.

   Luke said, "It's true, Julian and Marcus reconciled. Yesterday, they invited me to dinner at home. The grilled lamb chops taste great."

  David reached out and pinched Xiao Hei's face, "Why? Is there something wrong with you?"

   "Hey, I'm normal." Xiao Hei hid back, glanced around, and explained in a low voice, "Julian is pregnant, and I have to be responsible for her."

   "God! I really feel incredible." David said with emotion.

  The deputy team raised their glasses, "David, you are not alone."

  Jenny also raised her glass, "That's what I want to say too."

  Xiao Hei dissatisfied, "Hey hey hey, enough of you, different age groups do different things, don't always look at me with old eyes."

  The deputy team toasted again, "Bless you, I sincerely hope you don't follow in my footsteps."

  Xiao Hei had black lines on his face, but he also knew that the deputy team had such a bad mouth, so he just rolled his eyes and didn't bother to care about it.

   You deserve to be the sub-team for the rest of your life, I am different from you.

"Jingle Bell…"

   Just then, Luke's cell phone rang.

  Luke took a look, it was Linda calling, "Hello, Mom."

   "Where are you? Are you still investigating?" On the phone, Linda's voice was a little anxious.

   "No, my colleagues and I are drinking at the bar, what's wrong?"

   "Jack hasn't come home until now. I went to the comic shop and fried chicken shop where he often goes, but I didn't see him.

  Called my classmate's family to inquire, but they didn't know either.

  I can't find him. "

   "Where's Maggie? Does she know?"

   "I added Maggie's chat software before, and I sent a message, but she never replied, and I don't know the exact location of her home."

   "Don't worry, I know where Maggie's house is. I'll ask Maggie, maybe she knows where Jack is."

   Linda worried, "Is nothing wrong with him?"

   "Don't worry, he might be playing with some friend, and he forgot to tell you.

  I'll find him. "Luke said a few more words of comfort, then hung up the phone.

   "Guys, my brother isn't home and my mother is in a hurry. I have to go find him."

  Xiao Hei asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"

"not needed for now."

  David gestured, "I need to call."

   "I will." Luke said goodbye to his colleagues and left the bar.

  …

   Twenty minutes later.

   Calle Community.

  A Mercedes-Benz G500 drove into the card community.

   This community is not far from the Eno community, where Maggie's family lives.

  Luke has never been to Maggie's house. The reason why he knew the location of Maggie's house was an accidental reason.

  At that time, Fatty and Maggie were still secretly dating, and the family didn’t know about it. Luke, who just returned to the community, saw the two of them pressing the road and showing their affection.

  Out of the responsibility of being a big brother, of course, it may be more out of curiosity, Luke followed, and found that the little fat man watched Maggie go home with a smirk on his face.

  Luke parked the car near Maggie's house, and as soon as he got out of the car, he found a sneaky figure near Maggie's house.

  With that height and shape, Luke could recognize the little fat man at a glance.

  Luke snapped his fingers and beckoned, "You idiot, get in the car."

  The little fat man was a little dawdling at first, but when he saw Luke get into the car, he also got into the co-pilot.

  Luke glanced at him, but there was no injury on his body, his eyes were red, as if he had cried, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you go home?"

  The little fat man lowered his head, "I don't want to say it."

   Seeing that he was not injured, Luke was also relieved. He could probably guess what happened. It is estimated that the young couple had a quarrel and lost their temper.

   Luke starts the car, ready to take him home.

   "Brother, where are you going?"

"send you home."

   "I don't want to go home."

"Why?"

   "I don't want to go home, I don't want to face my mother's inquiries, I'm sad enough."

"Did you break up?"

   "Is it obvious?"

   "Why did Maggie break up with you?"

   "I don't know, I just want to ask her to clarify."

   "Then why didn't you ask, but sneaked out and hid?"

   "Her dad is at home..."

   "Are you going to wait outside until Maggie comes out alone?"

   "I don't know." The little fat man shook his head and said in a begging voice, "Can I go to your house tonight?"

"Why?"

   "I think this will make me feel better, maybe you can give me some experience."

   "What experience?"

   "The Experience of Broken Love."

   "I let you down, I can't give it to you. Because I usually dump others, I don't know what it feels like to be dumped."

  The little fat man reached out to open the car door.

   "Hey, where are you going?"

   "Go see Maggie."

   "You have the courage to knock on her door."

   "No, but I can wait outside."

  Luke "…"

  Luke locked the car door and said helplessly, "Don't you feel ashamed?"

  The little fat man clutched his chest, "I can only feel sad now."

   "Then just knock on his door."

   "What if his dad opens the door?"

   "Just tell the truth and want to talk to Maggie, he should understand."

   "No, I haven't officially met him yet."

   "Maggie didn't invite you to her house?"

   "I have been there, but only when her father is away."

   "Are you sure you are not a spare tire?"

   "You can't say that about Maggie, she's not that kind of woman."

   "OK, I'll give you three choices now, the first one is to knock on the door to see Maggie.

  Second, I'll take you back to Mom's house.

  Third, go to my house to sleep on the sofa, which is very hard. "

  The little fat man glanced at Maggie's house outside the car window, "I choose a very hard sofa."

  Luke shook his head, took out his mobile phone and called Linda, "Say it yourself."

  The little fat man is unwilling to answer the phone, "She will scold me."

   "I'll beat you up."

  The little fat man reluctantly took the phone, "I'm Jack."

   "God, where have you been? Why don't you go home and don't tell me."

"I forgot."

   "What kind of damned reason is this, go home quickly, and explain it to me immediately."

  The little fat man took the phone away, "Brother invited me to live at his house, I won't go back tonight."

   "Not today, you have to come back."

"I do not want."

   After the little fat man finished speaking, he returned the phone to Luke.

  Luke said bluntly, "He and Maggie broke up."

   "Hehe..." Linda sneered, "You really are brothers, send that little **** home."

   The little fat man shouted, "I don't want to go home, I don't want to be questioned, I'm tired enough."

   "Very well, then you should never come back." Linda hung up the phone.

   Luke sighed, "Mom is concerned about you, why are you messing with her?"

   "I don't want to be like this either, I just can't control my temper." The little fat man sighed, showing a look of remorse.

  Luke said sternly, "It is a sign of weakness to lose your temper with someone close to you. It has no meaning other than proving that you are immature."
