Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 37 Confrontation

  The previous chapter has been revised.

   If you read the non-modified version, please read it again, it is related to the plot of this chapter.

  …

  Dave took the initiative to say hello, "Officer Luke, good morning."

   "How is your body recovering?"

   "It's all right now. I'm here to take notes. By the way, let me know the progress of the case. Have you caught that bastard?"

   "There is no clue about Steven yet." Luke responded, looking at the white BMW, "Change?"

  “This car has been driven for several years, most of the time in the garage, and the Mercedes-Benz is still in the police station, so I will replace it with this car.”

   "I've always wanted to buy a car, how does it drive?"

   "Not bad, four-wheel drive, good vision, and comfortable space. Want to try it?" Dave took out the car keys.

   "Forget it, the car is a good car, but it's beyond my budget." Luke sighed softly, and said to Marcus, "You lead Mr. Dave to take notes."

   "Why don't you go?" Marcus was a little dissatisfied.

   "I need to call my girl, any questions?"

  Marcus squeezed his eyes, "Accept my challenge?"

   "Don't keep Lawyer Dave waiting, go." Luke waved the two away.

  Watching the two of them up to the detective building, Luke went to the BMW to check carefully, and even took a picture of the rear of the BMW.

  Then dialed Susan's number, "Captain, is it convenient for you to speak?"

   "I just sent the Whites away, and now I'm alone, let's talk."

   "I just discovered a situation that may be related to the Taser gun robbery, but this is just my guess, and there is no clear evidence."

"Where are you?"

   "The police station is downstairs."

   "Why don't you come up and talk?"

   "This situation may be related to Dave's lawyer. He just went upstairs to take notes."

   "Wait for me five minutes."

"OK."

  …

   After a few minutes, Susan came downstairs.

   Seeing no one around, Susan handed Luke a cigarette, "What's wrong with Dave?"

  Luke pointed to the parking space not far away, "Tony Will's homeless friend said that a rich man would often visit Tony. This man is in a suit and leather shoes, and he drives a white BMW X5.

  Dave just drove a BMW X5, and the car is his own. "

  Susan frowned slightly, "Assuming your inference is correct, Dave is not only Steven's lawyer, but also knows Tony Will. What role does he play in this case?"

  Luke analyzed, "The first possibility is that Dave has nothing to do with this case, but just happens to know these two people. The two suspects have a common acquaintance, which does not mean that this acquaintance is the suspect.

  The second possibility is that Dave is their accomplice.

  Then the scene where Dave was kidnapped by Steven may have been directed and acted by the two of them, which also explains why Steven didn’t kill people to silence him, but put Dave in the trunk to ‘fend for himself’. "

  Susan was more inclined to the second possibility, and asked, "Dave is a lawyer with money, status, and status. Why did he do this?"

  Luke thought for a while, "Could it be that there is something in Steven's hands? Or there is some special relationship between the three of them."

  Susan walked to the white BMW X5, "There are at least a few hundred cars of the same model in Los Angeles. This alone cannot prove that he is related to the 'Taser robbery'."

  Luke proposed, "We can investigate privately and continue to look for evidence."

  The police have been looking for Tony and Steven, but they have never found any traces of them, and there is no clue about Alisa.

  Dave is right in front of his eyes. As long as he is found to be related to the case, he can follow the clues to find other suspects.

  Susan agreed to Luke's plan, and the two returned to the Robbery and Murder Division as if nothing had happened.

  In order to avoid being alerted by Dave, Luke didn't test Dave again, and sat on his desk to check the information dutifully.

   An hour later, Dave finished his notes and left, and Susan called everyone together for a meeting.

  Luke spoke out his speculation.

  Everyone was a little surprised after hearing this.

   "Wow, the pants peeing lawyer became the final big boss, I like your idea." Marcus smiled, then frowned,

   "But I can't figure it out. We rescued him in the Gobi that day. If we didn't find the Mercedes-Benz, he would probably be trapped to death in the trunk."

  Luke guessed, "He may have heard the rescue vehicle before locking the trunk."

   "His hands are cuffed behind his back, which is a difficult position to do."

  Luke continued, "Handcuffs are different from tape. Dave can handcuff himself. He can close the trunk and then put on handcuffs."

  Marcus was stunned for two seconds, "It seems to be the case, so we were all deceived by this bastard."

  The deputy team analyzed, "He successfully diverted attention by using the little trick of peeing his pants, which made the police lower their vigilance against him. When people were laughing at him for peeing his pants, he had already succeeded."

  Marcus was very depressed. Fortunately, his face was dark and he couldn't see the embarrassment. "I hate lawyers. They are all liars."

  "Since everyone agrees with Luke's conjecture, the next investigation will focus on Dave and find evidence related to the case." Susan set the tone and directly assigned the task.

   "Matthew, collect all the information on Dave.

  Raymond, track the white BMW X5 through road monitoring.

  Marcus and Jenny contact BMW, and I want the driving record of the BMW in the latest period.

  Luke and David went to the bank to investigate Dave's large capital flow. "

   "Yes, captain."

  Finally, Susan warned, "Everyone should be smart. If Dave finds out that we are investigating him, he will not only startle the snake, but also sue us to death."

  The deputy team laughed, "Captain, you have changed.

   Still, I like it. "

  …

  Suburbs of Los Angeles.

   A dimly lit basement.

  A woman with long blond hair is curled up in the corner, with the wall lamp illuminating her side face. There is a kind of pitiful beauty, which makes people want to protect her.

   "Crackling..." The door opened first.

   "Da da..." I remembered the sound of footsteps again.

   "nonono..." Alisa hugged her hands in front of her body, her two long legs were trembling uncontrollably, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

   "Crackling..." There was another sound of the door opening.

   "Alisa, I'm back. I bought your favorite dessert." The man stood at the door, holding an exquisite cake box in his left hand.

  The man put the box aside, put on his slippers, and acted casually, like a husband coming home from get off work.

   "Alyssa, do you want to eat now? Or let me chat with you for a while."

   Alisa raised her head and mustered up her courage, "Dave, why did you do this? Are you going to kill me?"

  Dave walked to the bed, squatted down, and said in a gentle tone, "I never had such thoughts. Alisa, I love you. As long as you don't do stupid things, I will never hurt you."

   "What on earth do you want? Lock me up forever? Is this what you call love?"

   "No, you are not calm now, when you calm down, we can re-plan our lives. Change places, change identities, and live the life we ​​want."

   "Are you crazy? That's impossible. The police are probably looking for me, and if they catch you, you'll go to jail.

  If you let me go now, I can pretend nothing happened. "

  Dave laughed, "Alyssa, you are already dead. The top police department will not waste too much money on dead people. At most half a month, the police will not look for you again. I know them too well."

   "Why do the police think I'm dead?"

   "Just a trick."

   "Even if the police don't find me, Steven won't give up."

   "Comeon, forget about Steven.

   He took $40,000 from me and ran off, probably having a good time somewhere in Mexico City.

  He doesn't care about you at all. "

   "Why did Steven run away? What the **** did you do?"
