Los Angeles Detective

Chapter 341: guess

Chapter 341 Speculation

Luke called to inform the forensic and technical teams to arrive at the scene.

Afterwards, he returned to apartment 611 at the scene of the crime.

Two scenes, two dead people, and different firearms, but the police found the second scene by tracking the gunman, which shows that the two cases are related to a certain extent, and the two dead people are likely to be killed by the same murderer.

At present, Luke is still unable to determine the murderer's motive for killing.

"Raymond, what do you think of this case?"

Raymond looked out the window, "The distance from here to the scene of the car accident is at least four to five hundred meters, and it is difficult to hit a high-speed moving target at such a long distance.

I guessed that the other party might be a professional killer, but there was a detail that made me a little suspicious. "

"What details?"

"Bullet casings.

If it is a well-trained professional killer, they will take the bullet casings after the mission, but this gunman left the bullet casings at the shooting scene, which is very unprofessional. "

Luke also went to the window to check the scene of the car accident. If he was the gunman, there is a high probability that he would not be able to hit the target.

Those who can hit the target at such a distance are likely to be professional killers. Even if they are not professional killers, they have also undergone professional military training.

As Raymond said, if you have been professionally trained, you are likely to take away the bullet casings. Why didn't the shooter do this?

Luke turned his head to look at the corpse beside him, probably having an inference in his mind.

"Raymond, if you were the shooter, what would you do?"

Raymond replied, "Shoot, pack up equipment, collect bullet casings, clean up traces, and leave the scene."

Luke said, "If you were packing up your guns after you shot, and someone suddenly broke into the room, what would you do?"

Raymond said, "Kill the other party."

"If it is not one person who breaks in, but two people, after you kill the first person, the second person screams and runs away.

what will you do? "

"I will try to hunt down the other party."

"What if you don't catch up with the other party?"

Raymond thought for a while, "In order to avoid the other party calling the police or attracting more people, I will flee the scene as soon as possible."

"That's right, the reason why the gunman didn't pick up the shell casings was probably because of interference from intruders.

There is no perfect case in this world. No matter how rigorous the planning in advance, unexpected situations may appear when the crime is actually committed. "

Luke also leans towards the shooter being a professional killer.

It is important to determine this.

If it is a professional killer, then it is likely to be a murder for hire. The investigation method and the content of the inquiry will be different from ordinary homicides.

For example, Alibi.

If it is an ordinary homicide and the murderer kills himself, if the suspect has alibi, the possibility of the other party committing the murder can be ruled out.

But hired murder is different, he only needs to pay, and does not need to kill himself.

"Boom boom."

Jenny knocked on the door of the apartment, "Captain, no bloodstains were found, and no women who were suspected witnesses were found."

"Good news, it means that the witness is still alive." After Luke finished speaking, another doubt arose in his heart. If the witness escaped, why didn't she call the police?

"Jenny, have you found any other abnormal traces?"

Jenny thought for a while, then asked, "For example?"

Luke said, "If you were a witness, what would you do after you escaped?"

"Call the police." Jenny blurted out, frowning, "But we haven't received the alarm information from this apartment, which means that the witnesses didn't call the police, or she is unable to call the police now.

Either dead, injured, or held hostage by the gunman! "

Jenny suddenly thought of the quarreling couple in apartment 707, "Captain, do you still remember the injured woman in 707?

She has bruises on her face and is panicked.

Before, I always thought she had suffered domestic violence, and her reaction was a little different from domestic violence.

Could she be the female witness, and the man in the room is not her husband, but the murderer who held her hostage. "

Luke thought for a while, "She was already standing at the door and knew we were the police, so why didn't she call the police?"

Jenny guessed, "Will the gunman threaten from behind that if she dares to call the police, she will shoot.

She had just experienced the 611 apartment shooting, and she was probably frightened, which is also consistent with her panicked performance. "

Raymond said, "Your idea is very bold, but if I were the shooter, I would kill that woman directly and never give her a chance to contact the police."

Jenny said, "Could it be that the gunman was also injured and needs this woman to cover him?"

Raymond said, "This reason is not sufficient, the shooter will still kill people."

Luke looked at the dead on the ground, "There is also a possibility that the dead person is not the intruder, but the gunman."

After two intruders entered the room, one of the intruders exchanged fire with the gunman. The female intruder was frightened and ran away screaming.

Then, the male intruder killed the shooter, the scene was dealt with, and the female intruder was located.

Because the two knew each other, the female intruder did not call the police, but the two also had a dispute over this matter, and the male intruder beat the female intruder. "

Luke's speculation completely overturned everyone's previous speculation.

Raymond was a little confused, "Captain, do you have evidence?"

"No, it's just speculation." Luke shook his head slightly, probably because of the aftereffects of being a detective.

Jenny said, "I agree with the captain's speculation, this possibility is very high.

And even if the captain's guess is wrong, that woman may have been subjected to domestic violence. We need to investigate. "

Luke said, "Raymond, you can contact the company's property and investigate the situation of apartments 611 and 707.

Jenny, you and I go to the 7th floor of the apartment for surveillance. "

"Yes, sir."

…

The seventh floor of Patu Apartment.

Luke came up by climbing the stairs. He carefully checked every step of the stairs and found no suspicious traces.

Arrived on the seventh floor, Jenny looked towards the door of Apartment 707, and asked the two guarding patrolmen, "Is there anything unusual?"

A black patrolman said, "No one has ever come out."

Jenny asked, "Captain, what should we do?"

Luke didn't answer, he was waiting for Raymond's news.

Jenny looked at her watch, "Why don't I call the door and bring that woman out."

Luke vetoed, "No, if the gunman hidden in the 707 is really a gunman, they may not suspect it when the door is called for the first time.

The second time you call the door, he will definitely be alert, and you will be in danger then. "

Jenny said, "But the longer the time drags on, the more dangerous that woman will be, I'm worried..."

Luke interrupted the other party, "Calm down, it was just our speculation before, and there is no evidence that the people in Apartment 707 are related to the shooting, and we will wait for Raymond to check it out before we act."

"Crackling..."

Luke's voice fell, and the door of Apartment 707 opened without warning.

The police officers present all showed nervous expressions.

A tall white man came out of the room.

Jenny held a gun in both hands and yelled, "Los Angeles Police, hold on!"

"Raise your hands!"

Other police officers were also armed with guns.

The white man was startled, and quickly raised his hands, "Hey, don't shoot, I don't have a weapon."

A patrolman ordered, "Put your hands on the wall, slow down, and don't make unnecessary movements."

A patrolman walked over and searched the white man, "He has no weapons."

The white man said, "Sir, I am a good person and I have not done anything illegal."

Jenny asked, "What's your name?"

"Rudeger Jarolim."

"Where was that lady just now?"

"She's still in the room."

"What is your relationship?"

"couple."

"Did you go to apartment 611 this morning?"

"No, I've been at home today, this is the first time I've gone out."

"Do you have a gun?"

"No."

"Who is in your family this morning?"

"Just me and my wife."

"But as far as we know, around nine o'clock this morning, there were noises of quarreling and throwing things in your home. What happened?"

The man hesitated for a moment, "Nothing happened."

Jenny asked, "Then how did your wife get the injury on her face? How did the clothes get damaged?"

The man bowed his head and remained silent.

"You won't say?" Jenny walked to the door and shouted, "Los Angeles Police, Mrs. Jarolim, please come out."

A moment later, a white woman came out of the apartment room. It was the woman who opened the door for Jenny for the first time. "Officer, what's the matter?"

"Ms. Jarolim, is this man outside your husband?"

"Yes."

"Have you been to apartment 611 today?"

"No."

"Are you the owners of this apartment?"

"Yes."

"Did you leave the room today?"

"No."

“Is there anyone else in the apartment room?”

"No."

"How did you get the injury on your face?"

The woman covered her cheek with her hand, glanced at her husband, lowered her head and said, "I accidentally fell down."

"Huh..." Jenny sighed softly, "You don't need to look at anyone, and don't be afraid, with us here, no one can threaten you.

Have you been beaten? "

"No."

"Have you suffered domestic violence?"

The woman showed a flustered look, and glanced at her husband again, "No, don't ask any more, our relationship between husband and wife is very good, really good."

Luke stood by, observing the couple all the time. Regarding the issue of the 611 apartment, the couple did not lie.

This shows that they should have nothing to do with the shooting in the 611 apartment, and Luke's previous speculation may not be true.

But the couple also lied. When Jenny asked questions about domestic violence, both of them showed signs of lying, indicating that there may indeed be domestic violence.

For domestic violence, the laws in Los Angeles are relatively strict. Once a case is filed for investigation, serious cases may be sentenced to four or five years in prison.

It is precisely because of this that a small number of couples are unwilling to admit domestic violence. Even if the police come to ask, the couples will not admit it. At this time, the police have no choice but to go through the procedures of domestic violence cases.

As for how did the police know?

In this case, couples generally will not call the police themselves, and there is a high probability that the neighbors will call the police.

If the husband and wife really call the police, there is a high probability that the procedure of a domestic violence case will be followed, and the problem will be serious.

Luke looked at the couple, and his eyes fell on the husband, "Mr. Jarolim, I am Luke Li, the captain of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division, can I talk to you alone?"

"no need."

"I think it is necessary. If you don't want us to come again, it's best to solve the problem once."

Rudger Jarolim glanced at his wife, nodded, "OK."

"Let's go to your house to talk." After Luke finished speaking, he went straight to the apartment room.

The room was in a mess, with messy things scattered on the floor, such as tables, chairs, lamps, wine glasses, pillows, etc.

"Mr. Jarolim, is there a third world war in your family?"

Rudger Jarolim sighed, "My wife likes to throw things when she loses her temper."

"So, you hit her."

"No, I never hit her."

"Then how did the injury on her face come about?"

"I accidentally bumped into it."

Judging from the situation at the scene, it does seem that there was a fight here, but Luke asked two questions, and Rudger Jarolim showed no signs of lying.

"Did she hit you?"

Rudger Jarolim swallowed, "No."

Lie!

Luke said, "Roll up your sleeves."

Rudger Jarolim's voice contained a hint of pleading, "Please don't do this."

"Mr. Jarolim, since the police have intervened, this matter must be investigated thoroughly, and do as I said."

Rudger Jarolim hesitated for a while before slowly rolling up his sleeves. There was a bruise on his right arm, and there were many scars the size of soybean grains on his left arm, both new and old.

"Take off your shirt."

"Sir, there is really no need to do this."

"Mr. Jarolim, you can't help her hide the matter anymore."

Rudger Jarolim sighed and took off his dark shirt. There were large bruises and scars the size of soybeans on his body. There was also a scratch of more than ten centimeters long on his back, and some of the wounds were red. Some have scabbed over.

"Mr. Jarolim, what happened?"

Rudger Jarolim showed a helpless and complicated look, "She was not in a good mood this morning, we had a few words, and she started hitting me...

I didn't fight back, I just wanted to push her away.

She became even more angry, so she rode on me and hit me hard. The white man pointed to the scars the size of soybean grains, "These are the wounds she pierced with the diamond ring, which is very sharp."

I pushed her away so hard that her face hit the coffee table, it was as simple as that. "

"Does she hit you often?"

"She's not bad in nature, but she has a bad temper."

"Why didn't you call the police?"

"Call the police?" The white man smiled wryly, "I can't say it...

Don’t want her to go to jail either. "

Luke walked out of the apartment and asked the white wife, "Mrs. Jarolim, have you ever beaten your husband?"

Jennie showed a surprised look, and asked in a low voice, "Captain, did you make a mistake? It was Mrs. Jarolim who was injured, and her husband was at least 20 centimeters taller than her. How could she be the perpetrator?"

Luke did not answer, and said to the apartment room, "Mr. Jarolim, please come out."

Rudger Jarolim came out with his upper body naked. After seeing the scars on his body, the police officers present all showed surprise expressions.

They guessed that domestic violence happened here, but no one thought that the victim of domestic violence was a tall husband.

"Fuck, you bastard, what did you tell the police?" The white wife suddenly changed her face, staring at her husband and questioning loudly.

Rudger Jarolim argued, "I didn't say anything, they guessed it."

The wife said in an unquestionable tone, "There is no so-called domestic violence at all, understand?"

Jenny couldn't believe it when she saw her wife who had changed her face.

Recalling his wife's previous actions, whenever Jenny asked whether domestic violence had occurred, she would show a panicked look and look at her husband.

At that time, she thought that the wife was out of fear of her husband, but now it seems that the opposite is true, she is afraid that her evil deeds of domestic violence will be exposed.

Jenny asked, "What's your name?"

"Ferma."

Jenny took out the handcuffs and pushed her against the wall, "Fima Jarolim, you are under arrest."

Fima glared at Jenny, "You can't arrest me, there is no domestic violence at all, our husband and wife will not admit it, and it is useless for you to arrest me."

Luke asked, "Then tell me, how did your husband get his injuries?"

"I don't know, maybe he did it by accident?"

Luke grabbed her wrist and pointed to the ring on her wrist, "The scar on your husband's back is from this diamond ring.

Here's the proof. "

"It's none of your business, it's our husband and wife's business. Husband, tell me, there is no domestic violence at all, right?"

Rudger Jarolim looked hesitant and lowered his head.

Fima shouted, "Why don't you answer me? Why don't you clarify for me.

Could it be that you called the police? It was you who called the police. "

Seeing that her husband didn't answer, Fei Ma became even more angry, and cursed, "Fuck! How dare you betray me, you bastard.

You are dead.

When I come out, I will definitely not let you go.

I am going to kill you! "
