Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 311 Out of control

  Robbery and Murder Division, Interrogation Room 1.

   Before officially handing over Soest to the FBI, Luke wanted to try again.

  If Soster is willing to plead guilty, there is no need to hand him over to the FBI for interrogation.

  Although the possibility is not high, at least there will be no regrets after trying, and you can give yourself an explanation.

   Luke can decide this matter, but he still has to consider the emotions of his subordinates.

  Luke led Jackson into the interrogation room, and Soest was already handcuffed at the interrogation table.

  Luke looked at the other party, "Sost, you look good, I'm glad you've started to adapt to the life inside."

   "Hmph, I seem to have a choice."

   "I came today to give you one last chance to choose."

   "Let's listen." Soest leaned back and changed into a comfortable position.

   "We've found the man behind the North Hollywood bank robbery."

  Sost laughed, "I don't know who's behind the scenes. I only know that Marbury, the mastermind of the case, has been shot dead by you 'bang bang bang'. I bet you must have killed more people than me."

   "I kill people who break the law."

   "That's right, you don't have to bear any responsibility for killing people according to the law. But we are different. If you are caught, you will go to jail."

  “Don’t complain, if the Los Angeles police don’t kill bad guys, the safety of Los Angeles citizens will not be guaranteed, and social order will be broken.

  At that time, the citizens of Los Angeles will take up guns and personally punish those who violate the law. Without the constraints of the law and the rules of the police station, they will only become more brutal.

  If you are caught by them, you will die miserably, with no hair left, let alone sitting at the interrogation table and talking to me. "

   "Hehe, I really yearn for the world you described. For me, disorder is the best order."

  "It is precisely because you have this idea that you are sitting in this position. And you don't have to yearn for it, you will soon enter another world and enjoy the order inside.

  In addition, I want to tell you another piece of good news. Your lawyer, Burne Woolf, has surrendered to the police, explaining the relationship between you and Muriel Baldini.

   You were ordered by Muriel Baldini to kill Jakob Johnston and rob the North Hollywood bank.

  We have captured Muriel Baldini now, even if you try to hide it for her, it will be useless. "

  Sost stared at Luke, "Captain Li, tell me, what did I say to Burne Woolf?

   If you can repeat the conversation between us, I will listen to you. "

   "Souster, I'm talking about this. You should be very clear that the police have already investigated the situation of the case. It doesn't make any sense for you to quibble."

  Sost sighed, "Maybe, but what's the point if I don't quibble?

  Can you offer me a favorable plea deal? Or let me go?

   If you can't, then please get out, it doesn't matter to me whether there is a mastermind behind it or not. "

   "Souster, since you have been arrested, you should accept legal sanctions honestly. This is in your best interest."

   "Shit, I don't care about **** laws at all, why should it sanction Lao Tzu.

  I'm not even afraid of death, but I'm still afraid of your police. Do you think a few light words can scare me?

   Don't ever try to get anything out of my mouth. "

  Luke said, "You chose the wrong path."

   "I know very well what the rest of my life will be like. You can't change anything without your comment."

   "OK, then there is nothing to say." Luke stood up and said lightly,

   "The man is yours."

   With a sound of "Bang!", the door of the interrogation room was knocked open, and Anthony broke in, "I've been waiting for this sentence."

   "I wish you... have a good time together." Luke left the interrogation room after saying a word.

  Anthony smiled, "I will."

  …

  In a black Ford Transit.

  The cab is separated from the rear row, forming two relatively independent spaces.

  Anthony personally escorted the robber Soest.

  Sost was handcuffed on his wrists and ankles, and was fixed on the car at the same time. His face showed a little confusion. He always thought that Luke was bluffing him, but he didn't expect that the other party would easily hand him over to the FBI.

  The car was driving very fast, and there was a school bus ahead with a 'stop' sign on the left side, and the driver hurriedly stepped on the brakes.

  Anthony slammed forward and hit the inside of the car with a 'bang'. The body camera fell to the ground, and Anthony suddenly raised his foot and stepped on it.

  Anthony knocked **** the car and yelled, "Hey, how are you driving, my body camera is broken."

   "Sorry, I don't want to either, the school bus in front suddenly showed its sign."

   "Slow down, don't let similar things happen again, it's not good to knock down our guests."

   "What did you say, I can't hear you..."

   "It's none of your business, drive well." Anthony shouted, turned his head to look at Soest and smiled, "What a worry-free guy."

  Sost had a vigilant look on his face.

   "Don't be so nervous, I don't want to wear this thing for a long time, let's have a good chat, I have a lot of words in my heart."

   "I have nothing to talk to you about."

  Anthony took out a photo from his jacket pocket, which showed a little boy of Mexican descent, "Do you know him?"

  Sost glanced, "I don't know."

   "His father...is the FBI agent who was killed by you." Anthony carefully put away the photo, and sighed, "He is only five years old this year, and he is a very cute child.

  Yesterday...I went to his house...

  He asked me, Uncle Anthony, where is my dad? Why didn't you bring my dad back?

   I was looking into his eyes, listening to his voice...

  I can't answer, I can't face him, I feel ashamed... Can you understand that feeling? "

  Sost bowed his head in silence, his hands trembling slightly.

   "Sost, the child asks me for his father again, can you tell me what to do?"

   "You're asking the wrong person, I'm not God."

   "OK, although it's a bit perfunctory, at least you answered." Anthony took out another photo, which was a five or six-year-old white girl, "Do you know her?"

  Souster's eyes widened, his face became serious, "What do you want to do?"

   "Know her?"

"Yes."

"who is she?"

   "My sister's adopted child."

   "I heard that you like this child very much and often send her gifts. I didn't expect you to have such a gentle side."

  “Where there is sunlight, there will be shadows, and likewise, there will be no shadows without sunlight.”

   "So, you want to be a light to this girl."

"Nothing to do with you."

"I am very interested in everything about you. I asked the local FBI agents to assist in the investigation. The girl's mother was named Chris Moore. She died in an accident last year. After that, your sister adopted the girl from a foster institution .

  We also found out that you dated Chris Moore six or seven years ago, and shortly after the breakup she became pregnant and became a single mother.

   This is your daughter. "

"What do you want?"

   "I don't want to do anything, just chat.

   I didn't expect a scum like you to have such a lovely daughter. "

   "That is what my sister wants to adopt, and it has nothing to do with me."

   "Your daughter is very happy now. She has moved into a big house, has her own room, and goes to kindergarten with her cousin every day. She is very happy.

  But before she came, life at your sister’s house was not so good. She and her husband’s salary was very low, so they could only rent a house far away from the city. In addition to taking care of the children, she also had to work part-time.

  Why after adopting your daughter, their life suddenly became richer? "

"I have no idea."

   "I know, because you're secretly giving them money, using your criminal proceeds to pay for your daughter's support, and you can see that you care about your daughter."

   "So what? Don't you care about your children?"

   "I know that you have obtained a lot of stolen money through crimes. You are very smart and hid the stolen money separately. But as long as we want to investigate, we will definitely be able to find out. To put it bluntly, it depends on the strength of my investigation."

   "I'm going to jail soon, money is of no use to me."

   "You're right, but it's not the same for your daughter.

  I know that you left her a sum of money, which is enough for her to live steadily until she graduates from college. As long as I am willing, I can not only recover the money you left her, but also the stolen money you gave to your family before.

  You should know exactly what this means, your sister will not be able to raise another child at all, and your daughter will be sent back to foster care. "

  Souster said angrily, with red eyes, "I did it, she doesn't know anything."

   "While enjoying your rights, you have to pay the corresponding price. Your daughter has enjoyed the benefits of the stolen money, so she has to bear the corresponding responsibilities. Nothing in this world is isolated."

   "You can't do this, the child is innocent."

   "You really think so?"

"Yes."

  Anthony took out a photo of the little boy, "Is he innocent?

  You killed his father, so that father and son could never see each other again, and made him lose his support at a young age.

   Isn't he innocent? "

  Sost sighed, "What should I do so that you will let my daughter go?"

   "I won't hurt your daughter, I'm just recovering the stolen money you obtained illegally. Although I know it's not easy, the investigation funds may exceed the amount of stolen money you hid.

   But I don't care, I'm on you. "

   "I am willing to plead guilty, and I can tell you everything, but I have one request."

"any request?"

   "The investigation of my criminal proceeds is the responsibility of the LAPD."

   "Thank you for your endorsement of the FBI.

  As long as you confess truthfully, I can agree to your request. "

The biggest advantage of the FBI lies in the national chain. The advantage of the Los Angeles Police Department is that the local power is strong. Soest’s request shows that the other party also has stolen money in other places. As long as the stolen money is not fully recovered, his daughter’s life can be guaranteed. .

  The essence of an interrogation is to compromise with each other to achieve a balance.

  …

   Three o'clock in the afternoon.

  Robbery and murder department interrogation room.

  Muriel Baldini looked at Luke and Jenny on the opposite side of the interrogation table, and said expressionlessly, "Captain Li, didn't you say that there is a new development in the case, please let me take the record?

  This is not like a place to take notes. "

   "Yes, there is indeed a new development in the case, and Soest has explained everything." Luke took out a photo of Jacob Johnston, "Do you know him?"

   "Yes, he is an employee of my company. He is very responsible for his work. I have always been very optimistic about him. Unfortunately... he disappeared some time ago."

   "What do you think of his disappearance?"

"Unfortunately."

   "But according to Soster, you ordered him to kill Jacob Johnston."

   "He's lying."

   Luke stared at Muriel Baldini's expression, and asked again, "Did you instruct Sost to kill Jacobo Johnston?"

   "No." Muriel Baldini said firmly.

  Luke still didn't see any signs of lying from her face.

   It's really strange.

   How does this woman manage facial expressions?

   In other words, she is really innocent.

   No, after arriving at the FBI's chassis, Luke also saw Soest's interrogation from the observation room, and Soest showed no signs of lying.

  The two people's statements are completely different. After all, one person is lying. Judging from the existing evidence, Soest's words are more credible.

  Muriel Baldini sighed, "Captain Lee, I don't know what happened...but I feel very disappointed and sad...

   I didn't expect you to doubt me, why?

  I am the victim of this case. The robbers kidnapped me and planted a bomb on me...

  Officer Jenny, you were there at the time, you know how scared and helpless I am...

  Why are you targeting me now and accusing me of instigating robbers to kill.

   This is just horrible.

   Worse than strapping a bomb on me.

  I have always believed in the Los Angeles Police Department. I didn't expect you to make such a ridiculous move.

  I want to see your chief. "

  Luke smiled, "Ms. Baldini, your eloquence is good."

   "What I said is true. You wronged me. Would you rather believe what the robber said than me?"

   "We only believe in evidence." Luke took out a recording pen, pressed the broadcast button, and Soest's voice sounded,

  【"Ma'am, what can I do for you?"

   A moment later, another woman's voice sounded, it was Muriel Baldini, "I need you to do something."

"What's up?"

   "The person in the photo is Jacob Johnston, an employee of my company. He has collected some black information about the company, and he wants to use the black information to threaten me and do something detrimental to the company.

  I want you to get those files back and shut him up. "

"kill him?"

   "Don't make things big, don't affect the company, don't involve me, I will give you 2 million US dollars in cash after it is done."】

  Luke turned off the recording pen, "Ms. Baldini, this is only part of the recording. Soest is careful, every time you instruct him to do something, you will leave some evidence.

   As a repeat offender, he knows exactly what crimes can be used against you. "

  Muriel Baldini's cheeks twitched irregularly, "I want to see a lawyer."

"It seems that you are unwilling to cooperate with the police, so we can only be more inclined to accept Soest's confession. According to him, you not only ordered him to kill Jacob Johnston, but also ordered him to rob North Hollywood Bank , and designed a bomb to kill an FBI agent."

   "I didn't tell him to do this, he's lying.

  I need to see a lawyer. "

   "Ms. Baldini, a lawyer can guarantee your legal rights, but cannot help you settle illegal matters.

  Take this case as an example. Originally, we thought Soest was the mastermind and didn't know that you were related to this case.

  Your acting skills are very good, and you have fooled the police officers handling the case.

  Aren't you curious, why did we find you? "

   "Although I have nothing to do with this case, I do want to know, why do you doubt me?"

   "Burne Woolf."

   "Sost's lawyer?" Muriel Baldini blurted out.

   "That's right, he voluntarily surrendered to the police and explained the relationship between you and Soest. Only then did we know that there was a mastermind behind the case.

  A lawyer is not as credible as you think. If you think he will help you, he may be harming you. "

   "Why is Burne Woolf betraying us?"

   "You guys are playing too much, even FBI agents dare to kill, as a lawyer with a bright future, there is no need to wade into troubled waters with you.

   We gave him a plea deal and he explained everything. It also includes the shady things in your company.

  You have no secrets from the police now.

  Don't talk about finding a lawyer now, just find a lawyer team.

   We put all the evidence in court and the jury will immediately find you guilty. "

   "This **** **** charged me so much money..." Muriel Baldini wiped the sweat from her forehead, and her back was soaked before she knew it.

  Luke's words sent shivers down her spine and broke out in a cold sweat.

  What Muriel Baldini felt was completely different from Jackson in the observation room. He was obviously the one who discovered the clues behind the scenes, and it turned out that it was the lawyer who said it from Luke.

  However, he could also understand Luke's thoughts. He probably wanted to use this incident to make Muriel Baldini lose trust in the lawyer.

  If the other party really finds a lawyer, the case may be delayed again.

   Now it seems that the effect is good, and Muriel Baldini no longer mentioned the matter of seeing a lawyer.

  Luke continued to press, "Both Soster and Burne Woolf are willing to identify you, and according to their statements, all the cases were instigated by you.

  Ms. Baldini, your current situation is very passive. If you are unwilling to speak up, we can only handle the case according to their confession, and the situation will be very unfavorable to you. "

Muriel Baldini said slowly, "I didn't order Soest to rob the bank. It was he who messed up the matter himself and had to get the documents by robbing the bank. I only found out after the fact. The bank robbery has nothing to do with me.

  I didn't let him kill the FBI agent, he didn't even tell me about it, if you didn't tell me, I still don't know.

  He's nuts. "

  Luke said, "Are you admitting that you ordered Soest to kill Jacob Johnston?"

  "No, I didn't tell him to kill someone, I just asked him to take back the documents, scare the other party by the way, tell him to shut up, that's all.

  I wanted to solve the problem, but Soest made things worse.

  He was out of control. "

   Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a monthly pass!
