Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 33 Evidence

  Next morning, Friday.

   Robbery and Murder Division 1 Squadron.

   It’s Friday again, and the atmosphere in the office has become tense. With Alisa’s possible kidnapping, it shows that the suspects in the ‘Taser gun robbery’ don’t intend to stop.

   No one knows if he will commit another crime tonight.

  The invisible pressure made Susan look more serious.

   "Everyone, go to the conference room for a meeting."

  Luke and others walked into the meeting room one after another.

   Jenny poured coffee for everyone very thoughtfully.

  Luke nodded slightly, "Thank you."

  Susan took a sip of coffee and put down the coffee cup, "Do you have any new investigation progress on the case?"

  Raymond said, "I have been investigating cases from 20 years ago, and one of them was a robbery with a Taser gun, but the suspect has been arrested and brought to justice, which is different from Tony's life trajectory.

  In addition, there were still some robbery and kidnapping cases that were not solved that year. I compared those clues with the Taser gun robbery, but no common clues have been found yet. "

  The deputy team continued, "Actually, I think the Taser gun robbery is different from ordinary robbery or kidnapping. First, the first two victims were robbed, but the suspect's purpose is not clear.

  As for the case of Alisa’s disappearance, if it was kidnapping, it cannot be classified as an ordinary kidnapping case.

  If it was an ordinary kidnapping case, the suspect would definitely notify the family members to ask for the ransom as soon as possible.

  I'm leaning more towards a personal enmity. "

   Luke said, "I agree with the deputy team.

  In addition, we previously speculated that the suspect was one person, so it is impossible for the suspect to commit crimes by a gang, and the three cases were committed by different suspects. In this way, the alibi has controllability.

  Harry, a member of the drag racing party, knew Tony and had conflicts with Alisa. I don't think his suspicion can be completely ruled out. "

  Susan nodded, "David, keep an eye on your informant."

  Jenny hesitated for a while, "Uh... If Alisa was really kidnapped by the suspect, then a week has passed, and the kidnapper hasn't asked for a ransom, does it mean that something bad happened to her?"

   There was a brief silence in the room.

  If Alyssa has been killed, it is necessary to change the search method.

   "Boom..."

  The door of the meeting room knocked from the outside, and Matthew pushed the door and walked in, feeling a little oppressive, "Uh... Did I come at the wrong time?"

"Is there a problem?"

   "Ah, I re-investigated Alisa's financial situation and found that she had a cash transaction not long ago, the amount was as high as 15,000 US dollars."

   "This money is not a small amount for Alisa." Susan asked, "What is it for?"

   "Alyssa rented a shop, the location is not bad, at No. 103 Mien Avenue."

   "When did you rent it?"

   "February 11."

  The deputy team said, "I rented a store on February 11, and the first taser gun robbery occurred on February 18. There was a gap of one week between them. I think it is necessary to check this store.

  Matthew, send me the landlord's phone number.

  Luke, David, come with me. "

  Susan had a cold face, but she didn't stop her.

  …

   Half an hour later.

   Luke and the three rushed to No. 103, Mien Avenue.

  The door of the store is closed tightly, and the inside of the glass door is covered by a venetian blind, so the inside cannot be seen clearly.

  No. 102 is a cafe, and No. 104 is also for rent.

   On the way here, Luke kept thinking why Alisa rented a shop? Does she really want to resign.

  It's a good possibility, after all, dancing in a club is not a glorious thing, plus the pressure from the family.

   Could it be that she really sent the resignation text message, so where did she go? Why not contact the parents?

  David called the landlord.

   A few minutes later, a middle-aged Caucasian man with a big belly came over, "Hi, is that your call?"

  David flashed his police badge, "I'm Inspector David, and this is Deputy Vincent."

   Luke was skipped directly.

   "My name is Karman, what did you mean when you said that my shop was involved in a kidnapping case?"

   "The tenant of the store has been kidnapped."

  Kalman showed a surprised look, "When?"

   "Last Friday." David took out a photo of Alisa, "Is it the house she rented?"

   "Yes...and no."

  The deputy team asked, "Yes, yes, no, no, why are there two answers?"

   "Uh... To be precise, it was his husband who handled the lease contract. Her husband used her identity information to handle the lease contract in order to surprise her."

  Luke found Steven's photo from his phone, "Is that him?"

   "That's right, it's him."

  The deputy team asked, "Did the wife show up during the renting process?"

  Kalman spread his hands, "Is that still a surprise?"

  The deputy team pointed to the shop with his right thumb, "Open the door, we're going in and searching."

  Kalman was a little embarrassed, "The store has been rented out. From a legal point of view, I cannot enter at will without the tenant's permission."

  The deputy team said, "Alyssa may have been kidnapped. The case is under investigation. The police have the power to investigate the store under her name."

   "OK, you have the final say." Kallman opened the store, made a gesture of invitation, and motioned for Luke and others to enter.

  Although the door was locked from the outside, the three of Luke still habitually took out their pistols for guard.

"Safety"

"Safety"

  The shop is not big, it is divided into two parts, the front part is more than 20 square meters, and the back part is only a dozen square meters.

   Luke asked, "What are they going to rent this shop for?"

   "Restaurant." Kallman also walked into the shop, "The location of this shop is superior, the surrounding traffic is very large, and there are many tourists, it is very suitable for a restaurant."

  The deputy team put on their gloves and touched the blue wall on the east side, "What color was this wall before?"

   Kalman replied, "White."

   "The walls seem to have just been painted." The deputy wrinkled his nose, "Do you smell any special smell?"

  Luke also came over and smelled it, "It seems to smell like disinfectant."

  The deputy team frowned, "Call and ask the technical department to send an on-site survey team over."

  …

   Half an hour later.

   On-site survey personnel from the Technology Department rushed to the store.

  The deputy team had a few words with the person in charge of the on-site survey team, and then the technicians carried out a comprehensive survey in the store.

   After an hour, the site survey was completed.

  The person in charge of the on-site investigation team is Mary Sue, an Asian woman, about 30 years old, of medium height, and a bit thin.

  The deputy team asked, "Mary, how is the situation at the scene?"

   "We found a lot of blood splatters on the walls and the ground. The blood stains were treated with disinfectant, so they were invisible to the naked eye.

  However, after spraying the luminol reagent, the place with blood stains will emit blue fluorescence. "Mary Sula closed the blinds, sprayed chemicals on the walls and the ground, and took out a long tube to illuminate them.

   "See these blue swirls? These are bloodstains that someone tried to wipe off the wall."

   "Are you sure it's human blood?"

"Yes."

   "This amount of blood is enough to kill an adult!" The deputy team sighed softly, and said to Luke and the others, "I will call the captain and ask her to apply for Steven's arrest warrant.

   You rush to Steven's house immediately. "
