Chapter 320 Friendly Match

【"Hi, this is the 911 emergency center."

"I'm going to call the police, I'm super scared right now..."

"Can you speak louder? I can't hear you clearly."

"Sorry, I can't speak any louder, he'll hear..."

…]

Luke found the recording of the alarm call and listened to it several times.

Name, address, black pickup truck and other clues are all right, and he can be sure that he has not found the wrong place.

Jackson walked around the community, and there were quite a few residents with pickup trucks, including two families with black pickup trucks.

After some patient communication, two residents with black pickup trucks agreed with the police to enter their homes to check, and the police also confirmed that there was no problem with the two families.

Luke focused the investigation on the mobile phone number that called the police.

After investigation, this is a prepaid disposable mobile phone, which can be bought in many convenience stores and shops, and the mobile phone has been suspended, so it cannot be directly tracked and located.

In the end, the location can only be located through the base station of the communication provider. The location is not located at No. 105 of the Puland Community, but a block a few kilometers away from the east side of the community.

The location of the base station can only determine the approximate area. It is not easy to find the specific place and person to make a call.

But one thing is certain, the information provided by the caller is wrong, and No. 105 in the Puland Community is not the place where the crime was committed.

Finding this, Luke is more inclined to Xiao Hei's judgment, it should be that someone is reporting a false alarm.

…

eight pm.

Metzker Bar.

"cheers."

At a round table on the east side of the bar, Luke, Jackson, John and an Asian policewoman sat together.

John took a sip of beer, "Guys, the case hasn't been solved yet, so we're drinking at the bar, isn't it bad?"

Jackson said, "John, it's just an ordinary false police report, don't be so nervous."

John frowned, "Are you still the Jackson I knew?

In the past, everyone patrolled together. Even if you lost a bicycle, you would go all out to find it.

How long has it been since I went to the Robbery and Murder Division, and only murders are in my eyes? "

Luke said, "John, pay attention to what you say, I'm still beside you.

By the way, where is your partner? Why didn't she come. "

John and his partner had done Luke a small favor before, and Luke promised John to invite him to come to the Metzker Bar for a drink.

"She is a slow-heating type, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, don't worry about her." John pointed to the Asian policewoman next to him, "This is Lucy Chen.

She was a rookie in the same period as me and Jackson, so I asked her to come along.

Luke, you don't mind. "

"Of course not." Luke looked at Lucy Chen and asked in Chinese, "Do you speak Chinese?"

"I can, but I can't write."

"There is Chen Kelin in the Second Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division, do you know him?"

"No, Captain Luke, your Chinese is really good, much better than mine."

"Then you need to practice more."

Jackson complained, "Hey, can you stop speaking other languages in front of me, it makes me feel like a fool."

Lucy laughed, "Are you sure it's just like?"

Jackson surrendered, "OK, let me talk about something else. For example, let our captain talk about his award-winning experience..."

Before Jackson could finish speaking, Luke interrupted, "Nonono, let's talk about something else. For example, the interesting story about you being a rookie, three people of different ages, genders, and experiences. I think it must be very interesting."

Jackson shook his head, "Trust me Captain, you don't want to hear it, it's all very… embarrassing things."

"I want to hear more."

"No." Jackson, John, and Lucy said in unison.

John suggested, "Why don't we discuss the false police report.

Captain Luke, how will your Robbery and Murder Division plan to investigate? "

Luke said, "I originally wanted to talk to the house resident James Robinson today, but he refused and asked to see a lawyer.

Tomorrow, I plan to talk to him again.

What about your Western Bureau? "

John said, "The communication provider has located the location of the mobile phone signal base station, and we may strengthen patrols and visits in the mobile phone signal area."

Luke nodded, "Give full play to your strengths."

John said, "Our advantage is not just the large number of people, why don't we have a friendly match?"

Jackson asked, "What friendly match?"

John suggested, "Let's see which department finds the person who reported the false alarm first."

Jackson laughed, "John, I thought you were past the age of youth."

"Don't underestimate the courage of a middle-aged man who dares to change careers in his forties."

"OK, I'll compete with you." Jackson stretched out his right hand and made a fist bump.

"Man, you're doomed." John also raised his fist.

"That's what I want to say too."

Lucy quipped, "Whoa, gentlemen, I see sparks."

…

The next morning.

Plender Community.

Jackson and Luke drove again to the address where the false police report was made yesterday.

Because the caller used a prepaid disposable mobile phone, the police did not have many clues to investigate.

One is to investigate clues related to the address of the false crime, such as the surrounding conditions and residents.

The other is to check the area near the mobile phone, but this method requires a lot of police force, and it is still necessary to focus on patrol and investigation.

So, Luke decided to play to his advantage and investigate the first lead.

The car parked outside the No. 105 courtyard of the Prand community.

Luke got out of the car and saw a patrol car parked next to him.

Jackson frowned when he saw the license plate number, "It's John.

Captain, did he come here after listening to your direction of investigation? "

"Maybe." Luke smiled, and didn't really care. Cases of this nature are no different from relaxation for him.

Anyway, it’s the same money, so it’s not good to do some light work occasionally?

Luke and Jackson had just walked into the yard when the door opened and John and his partner walked out of the room.

John looked a little embarrassed, "Hi, we meet again."

Jackson shook his head, "John, your determination to win is really strong."

"I'll just take you for a compliment. See you later, guys.

By the way, I will definitely win. "John waved his hand and got into the car with his partner.

Jackson spread his hands, "Captain, this guy is serious."

Luke was also a little dumbfounded, this old rookie John is really...cute.

However, he likes to hit cute people.

"Jackson, we have to get serious."

"Yes, sir."

…

"Boom..."

Jackson knocked on the door.

Soon, a man's dissatisfied voice sounded in the room, "I've already told everything I know, can you stop bothering me."

The door opened, and curly-haired James Robinson looked at Luke and Jackson, "Two more, I remember you, you were there yesterday.

Are you finished? "

"Mr. Robinson, I am Luke Lee, Captain of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division, and I want to talk to you."

"Huh... there is nothing to talk about.

I have promised not to complain to you, don't come to me again, can you let me play the game quietly? "

Jackson said, "We are here to investigate the false alarm report."

"Then check it out! What are you doing at my house?"

"We want to ask you a few questions, I think you also hope to catch the person who reported the false police as soon as possible."

"Of course I would, but I don't know anything.

Otherwise, I won’t be stunned by you treating animals like animals. I still remember that feeling.

If it wasn't for that old police officer named John begging me, I would still complain about you. "

Jackson froze for a moment, "What did John tell you?"

"You should ask him." After James Robinson finished speaking, he was about to close the door directly.

Luke blocked the door, "Mr. Robinson, I know you have a misunderstanding about the police, and we are here to resolve the misunderstanding.

Escaping cannot solve the problem.

If you shut us out, the FBI might be the next one knocking. "

James Robinson dissatisfied, "Are you scaring me?"

"No, as far as I know, there were at least 5 false police reports yesterday. Do you know the seriousness of this matter?

If the case cannot be solved for a long time, it may involve terrorist attacks, and the FBI will definitely get involved.

Do you want to talk to the FBI?

They're not as friendly as the LAPD.

They also don't use stun guns. "

"Are you guys comparing bad?

Come in, I'll give you ten minutes. said James Robinson, and went straight into the house.

Jackson asked in a low voice, "Captain, there were five false police reports in Los Angeles yesterday? Why didn't I know?"

Luke whispered, "I didn't limit the range to Los Angeles."

The two entered the room, and Luke looked at the environment in the room again, which was similar to yesterday's situation.

James Robinson urged, "If you have any questions, please ask, I have already started the timer.

Once the time is over, either you guys leave, or I call a lawyer. "

Luke said, "Mr. Robinson, first of all, I want to say sorry for what happened yesterday.

I also hope you can understand that the situation was urgent and we had no better choice. "

James Robinson complained, "According to you, my being stunned by a stun gun is the best choice?"

"While you may not like that answer, it is."

"Maybe you're right, but I just don't like it, and I don't appreciate a guy who shoots me with a taser."

Luke said, "I can understand your feelings, but the one who really hurt you is the person who reported the false police. If the police used a real gun at that time, you may have been killed by mistake.

This may also be the real purpose of reporting false police officers.

This person may want to harm you. If you don't catch her, you will be in danger every day.

Are you going to be on edge all the time? "

James Robinson's expression changed slightly, "Maybe it's just a misunderstanding, he wasn't targeting me."

"You also said that this is possible, you want to pin your safety on the kindness of others? If she is so kind, she won't report to the false police."

James Robinson seemed to be persuaded, "OK, you can ask whatever you want."

Luke said, "Have you offended anyone recently?"

"No."

"Has someone called you harassing calls?"

"No."

"Harassment letters or other forms of harassment?"

"nothing."

"Have you invited anyone over to your home lately?"

"No."

"I'll play a recording, listen carefully." Luke took out the recording pen and played the alarm call.

【"Hi, this is the 911 emergency center."

"I want to call the police, I'm super scared now..."]

During the playback, Luke kept observing James Robinson's expression.

After listening, James Robinson swallowed, "This... is the call from the false police yesterday who framed me?"

"Yes."

"Do you want to listen again?"

"unnecessary."

"Do you know the person calling?"

"do not know."

Luke vaguely saw signs of lying from the other person's face, and tried again, "Since the person who reported the false alarm knows your home address, he is probably someone you know. Listen again."

Luke plays the recording again,

"do you know her?"

James Robinson was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "I really don't know him."

lie.

"The caller claimed to be Suri Shammari. Do you have any impression of this name?"

"No."

lie.

Luke has basically determined that James Robinson has concealed something, and he should have heard the person who reported the false alarm.

It stands to reason that this person used his home address to harm him, so why should he cover up the other party?

"Has there been any false alarms around you before?"

"No." James Robinson responded and looked at his watch, "Captain Luke, it's been ten minutes. I've already told you what I know.

Please leave. "

James Robinson got up to see off the guests.

Luke gets up and Jackson leaves the house.

Jackson got into the car and said, "It is estimated that John didn't get any valuable clues, captain, where should we go to investigate now?"

"Go change a car first."

"Why? Who do you want to follow?"

Luke said, "James Robinson lied."

"How did you know?"

"After he listened to the recording, his whole state changed. I suspect he recognized the identity of the caller."

"Since he knows the caller, why didn't he tell?"

…

Ten o'clock in the evening.

At No. 105, Prand Community, the door slowly opened.

James Robinson walked out of the house, looked around, then walked into the garage, and came out in a white Honda.

The car was not driving fast at first, but it gradually accelerated after leaving the community.

Luke and Jackson's car was right behind the Honda.

In addition to their car, there are two other cars taking turns to follow.

Jackson said, "Captain, you guessed it right, this guy has a problem.

Where do you think he's going? "

"I don't know, but it is possible to go to the home of the policeman. After all, some things are not convenient to communicate on the phone. It is safer to talk face to face."

Jackson said, "He is not afraid of being followed by the police."

Luke laughed, "This is just a case of false police reporting, not a murder case. It's not as complicated as you think. Take it easy."

Xiao Hei's voice sounded on the intercom, "Captain, the target vehicle has entered the location area of the alarm cell phone's base station.

The target is likely to meet the person who reported the false alarm. "

"Received, continue to follow up."

Jackson smiled, "Captain, I can't wait to see John's expression."

Luke said, "Did you forget something?"

"What?"

"Bet."

"You're right, now that we have the chance to win, what do you think is a good bet?"

"How about the loser running naked in the street?"

"Captain, you are too bad.
