Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 323 Request

   Robbery and Murder Division.

  James Robinson was brought into the interrogation room and handcuffed on the interrogation chair.

  Luke and Jackson sat opposite each other, communicating softly.

  James Robinson showed an angry look, shaking the handcuffs, "Two police officers, is it necessary to do this?"

  Jackson looked up and down, "Not bad, it matches you very well."

  James Robinson stared at Jackson, "I want to sue you, I was the victim of the false report, even if I guessed the identity of the caller, you shouldn't have done this to me.

  Investigating the case is your business, I did not break the law. "

  Luke snapped his fingers, "Look at this, I'm interrogating you today, not for a false alarm case.

  I'm not interested in that case right now, I'm here because of something in your computer. "

   "Computer? What's wrong with my computer?"

"We found some illegal videos in your computer. I want to know the source and details of these videos." Luke asked Matthew to check the computer carefully, and found many pornographic videos, including three underage girls, Olive Browning is just one of them.

   "I... don't know what you're talking about." James Robinson lowered his head, looking a little nervous.

  Luke took out the tablet to play the video, "Then you can watch it carefully."

  James Robinson panicked when he saw the video, "Why did you show me this?"

   "These were found from your computer host, didn't you store them?"

  James Robinson took a deep breath and tried to calm down, "No."

  Jackson pointed to the screen and questioned, "Look carefully at these girls, they are just the age of innocence and romance, they should have studied in school, and they should have had the best time.

   But they are being coerced into doing the dirtiest and ugliest things. Doesn’t your heart ache watching these videos? "

  James Robinson shook his head, "It has nothing to do with me, it must have been done by hackers."

   "James Robinson, I believe that you also have female relatives, and you will even marry in the future and start your own family.

  You may also have a lovely daughter. Put yourself in the shoes and think about it, what would you do if this happened to your future daughter?

   To prevent the same thing from happening to your daughter, you should stand up. "

   "Sorry, I'd love to help them too, but I really don't know why the video is on my computer."

   Seeing that the warm and emotional route was useless, Jackson expected to turn cold, "Whether you admit it or not, it is a fact that the video appeared on your computer, and you can't deny it."

   James Robinson's tone was firm. "I said, I was wronged, I never read these things.

  I need to see a lawyer. "

  Jackson didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn. He obviously found it on the computer and still didn't admit it. "Then why are there these videos in your computer?"

   "I don't know either. My computer was hacked before, and it may be a hacker who stored it on the computer."

"boom!"

With a    sound, Jackson slapped the table and shouted, "Are you taking us for fools?"

Luke waved his hand, signaling him to be calm, and said to James Robinson earnestly, "Listen, the purpose of our interrogation is not to convict you, but to learn more about the situation and rescue these kidnapped girl."

   James Robinson hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know anything."

  Luke continued to persuade, "Even if you don't admit it, storing these videos in the computer is also illegal, and we will still sue you.

  Once you go to court, things may cause big troubles. The TV media are very interested in this kind of news. By then, you will be Los Angeles, no, you will be a celebrity in the entire United States.

   Congratulations, big star! "

   "I have the right to privacy, why can't you do this." James Robinson showed a look of panic. If that's the case, this stain will affect his voice, and his life will be miserable.

   Even, if you are imprisoned for this crime, there is a high probability that you will not be able to come out with the whole body.

   "You are right, but a small group of unscrupulous media don't care about this, they only care about whether the news will become a hot topic.

   News like yours is exactly what they like.

   They are like piranhas who smell fishy, ​​and they are everywhere.

  If you want to avoid those unscrupulous media, then solve the matter in this room.

  We will help you keep it secret. "

  James Robinson had a complex look on his face, "Really?"

   "Do you have a better choice?"

  James Robinson pondered for a long time, seemingly moved, "I was wrong... I'm just curious, and I don't really like these.

  I am not a pervert, nor do I want to be treated as one.

  Will you guys really keep this secret for me? "

   "Of course." Luke explained, "Everyone has a curiosity-seeking mentality, and I don't care what the reason for watching the video is.

   What I care about is the girl in the video.

  She was kidnapped. She is only thirteen years old this year. We need to rescue her.

  If you can provide some valuable clues, we will also help you secure a favorable plea deal. "

  James Robinson lowered his head and said courageously, "I saved these videos in my computer, but I don't know this girl, and I don't know what clues I can give you."

   "I ask you to answer." Luke took out his notebook and crossed out the first question on it, "Where did the video come from?"

   “Bought on the dark web.”

"When did you buy it?"

   "Early October, seems to be October 2nd."

   "Do you know who the seller is?"

   "No, the dark web is confidential."

   "Can you still contact the other party?"

  “I just registered as a member of the website, and then got the download permission, so I can’t talk about contact.”

   "What's the name of the website?"

   "Little wildflowers."

   "Do I need to pay for membership registration?"

"Yes."

   "How did you pay the fee? Is there any record?"

   James Robinson said, "It was traded in Bitcoin, and nothing can be found. I never admitted it before. It's not that I'm cold-blooded, but I really can't provide clues to the seller."

  Dark Web, Dark Web again.

   Luke has heard this word many times and has done some simple understanding.

  The biggest difference between the dark web and the ordinary web lies in its privacy. Ordinary users cannot see the dark web, nor can they enter the dark web through conventional means.

  Many materials that cannot be disseminated and published on the clear web can be found on the dark web, which is equivalent to a private network.

  However, Luke is only a theoretical school, not proficient in computers, "How did you get into the dark net?"

   "With the help of the onion router, I downloaded the Tor browser to access the dark web..."

  In this interrogation, Luke asked a lot about the dark web. The more he learned, the more he felt that the dark web was a hotbed of crime, and he might deal with it frequently in the future.

  The dark web is somewhat similar to an onion, with layer-by-layer encryption. There are many nodes in the loop chain that has been turned back and forth to the Internet. The information on the Internet is encrypted once through a node. The data comes from the last computer, and this node is random.

   This ensures that both buyers and sellers are anonymous and difficult to trace.

   Another major feature is the transaction method.

   Regardless of whether it is a cash transaction or an account transaction, traces will be left, and the clues will be traced along the traces to find buyers and sellers.

   But the dark web uses Bitcoin transactions, which are also untraceable.

  In other words, the emergence of Bitcoin has made up for the shortcomings of the dark web, making the dark web a paradise for crimes.

   After interrogating James Robinson, Luke went directly to the director's office.

   "Boom..."

"Come in."

  Luke enters the office and sees Red sitting behind his desk on the phone.

  Red pointed to the chair across the desk.

   Luke sat on a chair and put the file in his hand on the table.

   After a while, Reid hung up the phone, "What do you want from me?"

   "Director, we discovered some new circumstances when investigating the false alarm case."

   "Found dead?"

   "No."

   "That's good news, let's talk about it."

   "We found some pornographic action movies on James Robinson's computer, and the three girls in the video were all underage."

   "So the false alarms may not all be false, and they helped us catch a pervert.

   It is time to teach this pervert a lesson. "

"I'm going to say more than that." Luke took out his tablet and looked for a screenshot of Olive Browning's video, "Director, this girl's name is Olive Browning, a kidnapping victim .”

  Rett put on his glasses, looked at the tablet carefully, "Yes, I know this girl, but at that time, the first squadron was not responsible for the case, but the second squadron was responsible for the investigation.

  I remember that the kidnappers asked for a ransom, but they never came to get the ransom, and there was no news for a long time after that.

  Everyone thought the girl was ripped off. "

   "According to James Robinson, who bought the video on October 2, the girl is likely still alive.

  The kidnappers did not kill her, but used her to make movies to make money. "

   "Very good, this clue is very important!" Reid nodded, then looked at Luke, "You came to me to take over the case?"

   Luke said, "No, I just think these girls are very poor, and my team members and I want to help them.

  All the evidence is here, take your time. "

  Luke left the office. As he said, the reason why he took the initiative to investigate the clues of the three girls was mainly because he wanted to do his best. He had done what he could and had a clear conscience.

  As for selfishness, there is also one point, that is, you can show your credit in front of the director. In the end, no matter which department solves the case, there must be a squadron to share the credit.

  However, he will not take the initiative to take over the case.

  There are two reasons. First, this case was handled by Chen Kelin, the captain of the Second Squadron. Now he has taken the case, so what?

   Rob case?

   Everyone is in the robbery and murder department. Chen Kelin is older than him. Luke took the initiative to rob him of the case in charge. This is a big taboo.

  If Luke solves the case, others may say that you took the credit.

   If you can't solve the case, the fun will be even greater.

  Second point, Chen Kelin, as the captain of the Second Squadron, has a good ability to handle cases. If he can't solve the cases, Luke will definitely be able to solve them?

   Not necessarily.

  Luke told Rhett the clues of the case. Even if he did his part, he could also show credit to Rhett. After the case is solved, the credit will also be shared by a squadron.

  …

  The next morning.

   Robbery and Murder Division conference room.

  Rett and Chen Kelin made an appointment with the Brownings.

  The black couple looked a little haggard when they were in their forties. It was obvious that they hadn't gotten over the haze of their daughter's kidnapping.

  The black woman's eyes were red, she leaned on the table with both hands, and asked impatiently, "Captain Chen, you said you found a new clue about my daughter?"

  Rett made a gesture of invitation, "Mrs. Browning, please sit down, we do have news about your daughter."

   "God, it's true, I'm not dreaming." The black woman cried.

  The black man on the side helped his wife to sit down and asked, "Director Rhett, is my daughter still alive?"

  Rett hesitated for a moment, "There is a certain delay in the clues. I can't judge her current situation, but I think it is very likely that she is alive."

   "Great, thank you so much, please save my daughter, we really can't live without her." Mrs. Browning burst into tears.

  The black husband also had red eyes, but he held back his tears, comforted his wife in a low voice, and asked, "Director Rhett, can you tell me about the new clues you found?"

  Rett nodded, "Since the last time the ransom was delivered, the kidnapper has not actively contacted me again.

   But our Robbery and Murder Division did not give up investigating your daughter's clues. Everyone in our division is thinking about this case.

  The new clues were provided by people from a squadron. When they were investigating other cases, they found a video of your daughter. The video was obtained on October 2, so there is a high possibility that your daughter is alive. "

   Black husband asked, "Can I watch the video?"

   "Video content...is not easy to swallow, I don't recommend you watch it."

   "Director Rhett, I am mentally prepared. Instead of thinking about it, I still want to know her current situation."

  Rett refused again, "Mr. Browning, the video is evidence for the investigation of the case, and it is inconvenient for you and your wife to watch."

   "I see." The black husband didn't force it, maybe he wasn't as strong as he imagined.

  Wanting to watch the video is out of concern for his daughter, but he may not dare to watch it deep in his heart. He is constantly entangled. Reid's refusal makes him have no choice and less pain of choice.

  The black husband asked, "Director Rhett, Captain Chen, how are you going to find my daughter next, and are you sure you can rescue her?"

  Rui De and Chen Kelin looked at each other, and the latter said, "We also just got clues and are preparing to start an investigation. I invite you two to come over today, just to inform you that the case will be reopened.

  If you have any new clues, you can contact us. "

   The husband and wife did not seem to be satisfied with this answer.

  The black husband said, "Director Rhett, you said that this clue was discovered by the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division?"

"Yes."

   "Excuse me, is the captain of the No. 1 Squadron Captain Luke Lee who just won the Public Safety Officer Medal for Bravery in the Special Zone?"

"You know him?"

  “Since my daughter was kidnapped, I have been paying attention to the situation of the police station. I know that he has solved many major cases, such as the headless female corpse case, the vampire murder case, the school shooting case, and the Las Vegas shooting case.

   It can be said that he was responsible for or participated in the detection of major criminal cases in Los Angeles.

   This shows his ability, and also shows how much the police station values ​​him.

  Since he discovered new clues to the case, why didn't he hand over my daughter's case to him for investigation? Isn't my daughter's case important? "

  Rett quickly explained, "Mr. Browning, it's not what you think, we attach great importance to your daughter's case.

  That's why the case was handed over to the Second Squadron. Captain Chen has rich experience in handling cases and is also a capable and responsible captain. "

  The black husband responded, "You are right, Captain Chen is also very responsible for my daughter's case, and I see his efforts.

  I know I shouldn't have said those words just now, Captain Chen did a good job...

   But my daughter is now in doubt, and I don't want what happened last time to happen again...

  I'm just trying to do my best...to give my daughter a chance to be rescued.

  I hope she lives..."

  The black husband asked sincerely, "Captain Chen, are you sure you can rescue my daughter?"

  Chen Kelin was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "No."

  Rett said, "Mr. Browning, no one can guarantee that the murderer will be caught until the case is solved.

  Even Captain Luke Lee is the same. "

"I know.

   But Captain Lee is the most powerful police detective in Los Angeles.

  If even he can't save my daughter, I'll give up.

  I just want to help my daughter have an extra chance of being rescued.

  Director Ruide and Director Chen, you should also be fathers, I believe you can understand my feelings. "

  The black woman choked up, "Director Rhett, please. We just hope that Olive can come back alive, woo..."

  Rett sent the couple away, and called Chen Kelin to the office, "Kelin, what do you think of this?"

   "Director, I obey your instructions."

   "Don't play tricks with me. You were in charge of this case before. Now, I want to hear your opinion."

  Chen Kelin sighed, "To be honest, it's been so long since this case, I didn't expect...

   Not sure about rescuing their daughter.

  The last time was not easy for me either.

  If they trust Captain Li more, I am willing to hand over this case to Captain Li. "

  Rett said helplessly, "If you don't want to hand over now, Luke will definitely take over.

  He respects you very much, and he doesn't want to steal your case, and he doesn't want the members of the first squadron and the second squadron to have a quarrel because of this incident. "

  If Luke finds out new clues to the case and directly asks for the case to pass, Chen Kelin may feel uncomfortable, and the members of the Second Squadron will also complain in their hearts, thinking that Luke is robbing their cases.

   But it’s different now, Luke directly handed over the new clues of the case to Reid, Chen Kelin also knew the clues of the case, and the victim’s parents asked Luke to take over the case.

  This also indirectly shows that they no longer trust Chen Kelin.

   Chen Kelin continued to investigate the case under the premise of distrust. If the victim still cannot be rescued this time, the Brownings will definitely feel dissatisfied.

   This is not good for him or the police department.

  Chen Kelin said, "Director, I will talk to Luke to dispel his concerns."

   Thank you for your concern.

   During this period of time, I have been suffering from a toothache.

   I'm a rather useless person, and I'm afraid of going to the dental office.

   It was a dental problem again yesterday, and I was in a bad state. I know this matter cannot be delayed.

   Last night, I did some psychological training and became ruthless.

   I had my tooth pulled out this morning. (It's the first tooth extraction, I laughed.)

   Everyone also pay more attention to the body, the body is the capital of the revolution.
