Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 504 Prologue

  In order to avoid being noticed by the bomb maker, the vehicles outside the slaughterhouse left one after another, loosening the outside and tightening the inside.

   Half an hour later, Reid also arrived at the slaughterhouse.

  Since the bomb was discovered, it is likely to be related to terrorists. Although it is still uncertain, Reid feels that it is necessary to tell the relevant departments.

   There are many anti-terrorism departments in the United States, and the jurisdictions of these departments overlap with each other.

  The most common domestic anti-terrorism is the FBI and the Homeland Security Agency.

  After talking on the phone for more than ten minutes, Reid finally decided to tell the FBI the news and remind them.

   After all, the FBI is also part of the police department, and the two sides cooperate more.

  Of course, the bomb is only discovered now, and it does not necessarily have an absolute relationship with terrorism.

  So the police will continue to investigate the case and arrest the murderer who killed Arnet Stone.

Four p.m.

  Matthew investigated Arnet Stone's communication records and found an Asian woman surnamed Inoue.

  Nami Inoue, a trainee reporter for cbs television station.

  Arnette Stone was a news reporter for CBS TV before he became an independent investigative reporter, and the two may be colleagues.

  If Arnett Stone was really killed while investigating a major story, Nami Inoue probably knew something about it.

   Half an hour later, Luke and Xiao Hei rushed to CBS TV station to investigate.

  Under the Cbs TV station building, the two got out of the car, and Xiao Hei looked at the TV station building in a daze.

   Luke asked, "What's wrong with you?"

   "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered Pari Jones, it feels like it's been a long time, and I don't know how she is now?"

   "Didn't she contact you?"

  "Since I got married, I blocked all my ex-girlfriends. In fact, I didn't really want to see her, but I just saw the TV station building and felt a little emotional.

   A lot has happened this year.

  A year ago, I didn't believe I would get married.

  That’s right, no one would believe it,” said the little **** in a strange way, “Luke, have you ever thought about getting married? "

   "No, I won't think about it before the age of thirty. As for things after the age of thirty, the devil knows."

  "If, like me, my girlfriend is pregnant, what should I do if I have to give birth to the child?"

   "Then give her enough child support." Luke and Xiao Hei's situation is different. First of all, Lu Ke is richer than Xiao Hei, and whether he gets married or not will not delay raising children.

  As long as you have money, this is not a problem.

  Secondly, in Luke's view, Xiao Hei is a bit overkill because of his own growth experience.

   The two entered the CBS TV station building. The news department was on the seventh floor of the building, and the elevators were divided into single and double floors.

  The elevator door opened, and before all the people inside got out, people outside began to enter, and Luke and Xiao Hei were squeezed into the corner.

  Xiao Hei didn't like this feeling very much, and muttered, "Why does everyone feel so busy here?"

  A black woman wearing a press card said, "Because if it is only one minute late, the news may become old news, so we must race against time,"

  The elevator stopped at the seventh floor. The black woman got off the elevator and even took a special look at Luke and Xiao Hei.

  Xiao Hei rubbed his chin and said with a smile, "This **** charm."

  He sighed again, "For a married man, this is also a burden."

  Luke ignored the narcissist and walked towards the front desk, but there was no one at the front desk.

  Luke looked around. There were people coming and going in the corridor, and the offices on both sides were separated by glass, which looked chaotic.

   "Why does it feel like they are all looking at us?" No matter how narcissistic Xiao Hei is, he knows the situation, something is wrong.

  Luke also noticed this, "Ask someone."

   Not far away came a white girl in her 20s with a press card around her neck. She also looked at Xiao Hei and Luke curiously.

  Xiao Hei took the initiative to wave and say hello, "Hi, do you know me?"

   "No, I don't know."

   "But I feel like you're looking at me."

   "Sorry, I wasn't looking at you." The white female reporter looked past Xiao Hei and looked at Luke, "Hey, are you Captain Li from the Robbery and Murder Division?"

  Luke asked back, "You know me?"

   "Most people on this floor know you. My name is Cathy Carneiro, and I'm also a journalist. Nice to meet you."

   "Me too." Luke smiled and asked, "Do you know Nami Inoue?"

   "Oh, yes, I remember that she is a new intern reporter, and she should be the third office on my left."

   "Thank you." Luke nodded, ready to leave with Xiao Hei.

  Cathy Carneiro handed over a business card, "Captain Li, this is my business card, nice to meet you."

   "Me too." Luke took the business card politely.

  Luke winked at Xiao Hei.

  Xiao Hei handed over his business card, "I am Captain Li's partner, and I am also the external contact of the Robbery and Murder Division."

"Wow, it turned out to be Inspector Marcus. Nice to meet you." Cathy Carneiro took the business card and checked it, grinning. She was able to meet an Inspector face to face and asked for the business card of the other party. She is already very satisfied.

  The Robbery and Murder Division has been in charge of major criminal cases. As long as they can get some inside information and broadcast it at the right time, it may become the headlines of the news.

   is a good source of news for a reporter.

   As for Luke, it's not something she can get yet.

   "Let me take you to Nami Inoue! She is definitely the luckiest girl in the news department today."

  Xiao Hei asked curiously, "Do you think she knows us too?"

   "Of course, a qualified Los Angeles reporter must know Captain Li."

  Cathy Carneiro took the two of them to the door of the third office room. She glanced inside and pointed to a seat on the side. "That's the black-haired Asian girl over there."

   Luke said, "Thank you."

   "Call me if you need anything, I'll be on 24 hours a day."

  Luke nodded with a smile and watched Cathy Carneiro leave.

  Xiao Hei said enviously, "I didn't expect these reporters to like you so much."

   Luke joked, "Do you regret that you got married early?"

   "No, no, no, I never thought of that, they are after you, not me."

  Xiao Hei walked to the desk of the Asian woman, tapped the table with his finger, "Hey, can we chat?"

  The Asian woman looked up at Xiao Hei, and leaned back her chair, "Hi, what's the matter? I don't seem to know you."

  Xiao Hei pointed to Luke next to him, "Then do you know him?"

  The Asian woman looked at Luke, with a look of surprise on her fair and delicate cheeks, she stood up, "Luke Lee!"

  Xiao Hei curled her lips, looked at the trainee reporter sign hanging on her towering chest, and thought to herself, it seems that you can become a regular in advance.

  Actually, the white female reporter who led the way just now played a trick. In her words, if Nami Inoue didn’t know Luke, she wouldn’t be a qualified reporter.

  It implies that Luke needs to find someone to cooperate, and he should find a better reporter.

  Xiao Hei showed his police badge, "I am Inspector Marcus of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division."

   "What do the two police officers want from me?"

   "Are you Nami Inoue?" Luke looked at the Asian woman, feeling familiar.

  She is very beautiful, fair-skinned, about 1.65 meters tall, with an exquisite figure, lordosis and back curl, which is a typical East Asian beauty.

   "Yes, I'm still a trainee reporter, why are you looking for me?"

  Luke looked at the somewhat noisy office, "Can we have a quiet chat in another place?"

  Nami Inoue also felt envious, curious, and complicated eyes from her colleagues, "Let's go to the conference room, which is specially used to receive distinguished guests."

  Xiao Hei leaned close to Luke's ear, "We have come to investigate the case so many times, and this is the first time that someone treats us as a distinguished guest."

   After entering the meeting room, Nami Inoue said with a smile, "Captain Li, this is actually not the first time we have met. To be exact, I have seen you, but I wonder if you have noticed me?"

Luke also recognized the other party. The last time he traveled to Hawaii, he saw an Asian beauty on the way back. At that time, he felt that the Asian beauty was paying attention to him. If Ortie was not by his side, the two of them might have met. There is further contact.

  Luke frowned, pretending to think, "Is it a press conference at the police station?"

  Nami Inoue was a little disappointed, "No, I just traveled to Hawaii some time ago and saw you at the airport.

   At that time, news of the kidnapping of the real estate tycoon’s son was flying all over the sky. I guessed that you were probably returning to Los Angeles to investigate the case. Sure enough, you did not disappoint everyone.

  I also learned from that news that you are not only a Los Angeles policeman, but also a criminal investigation consultant of the FBI. "

   "There is a toilet here, should I go to the toilet?" Xiao Hei suddenly felt a little redundant.

  Nami Inoue showed an apologetic smile, "Sorry for wasting your time, what do you want to talk about? Is there another big case in Los Angeles? I look forward to working with you."

   Luke asked, "Do you know Arnett Stone?"

   "Yes, I just entered the TV station last year as an intern, and he guided me for a while.

   But he has left the TV station and is now an independent investigative reporter.

  Is something wrong with him? "

   Luke did not answer the rhetorical question, "You contacted him recently."

   "Yes, I called him, but I couldn't reach him, and I went to his house yesterday.

  I knocked on the door, but there was no answer, and to be honest, I was a little worried about him too. "

  Xiao Hei asked, "Haven't you thought of calling the police?"

   "Come, on, he is now an independent investigative reporter. He is probably investigating a big news. It is normal to disappear for a few days. If I call the police now, it is likely to interfere with his investigation. He will hate me to death.

   You came to me because of him, why? "

   "Yesterday we found a body in the Los Angeles River, the body was so damaged that the deceased could not be identified.

   According to our investigation, the body dumping vehicle is a black Buick, the owner is Arnett Stone. "

   "My God, you suspect that he was killed!"

   "There is such a possibility."

  Nami Inoue put her hand on her forehead, "This is terrible. He is very nice and taught me a lot. He is a very dedicated reporter."

   Luke asked, "Do you know what news he's investigating recently?"

   "Yes, I know some.

  Before he left the TV station, he received an anonymous letter from a person who claimed to be a retired veteran.

   After retiring from the battlefield, he has been trying to adjust to domestic life, but it has been difficult for him to adapt.

  He developed PTSD, which made his life and work more difficult.

  He felt that he was a hero who went through life and death for the country, but was treated unfairly after returning home. He wanted to get the respect he deserved.

  He hopes that Arnett can stand up and speak out for him, let more people know about his experience through TV stations, and get more attention.

Arnett has been keeping in touch with the other party. He not only wants to understand the person who wrote the anonymous letter, but also wants to understand this group. He feels that individual cases are meaningless. Only by understanding the living environment and experiences of the entire group of retired soldiers can he draw conclusions. An objective and unbiased review.

  He contacted me some time ago, saying that he had unearthed a major news, his tone was very excited, and said that if the investigation goes well, he may become a hero, just like Seymour. "

   "Do you know, who is writing to him?"

   "I don't know, he won't tell me this kind of thing."

   "Do you think if he is killed, will it be related to the news he is investigating?"

"This possibility is very high. He is a very simple person. He doesn't care about wealth. I haven't seen him dating women, and he doesn't pay attention to enjoyment. The only thing he cares about is news. He always wants to make a big news. "

  Xiao Hei asked, "Will he like men?"

  Nami Inoue “…”

   "Detective, I hope you will be more serious."

   "I'm not being serious. I do have doubts about this. Similar things happened when we were investigating the case before. The pity is that his wife didn't know about it and always thought he was a straight man."

  Luke interrupted Xiao Hei, and asked Nami Inoue, "Apart from you, does anyone else know about the news that Arnet Stone is investigating?"

   "Maybe! He is a good senior and has a few good friends in the TV station. I think you can ask them too."

   "Can you tell me their names?"

   "I don't think this is particularly appropriate for me."

  Luke nodded, "Can you introduce me to the person in charge of your department?"

   "Of course, I am very happy." Nami Inoue took out a business card and handed it to Lu Ke, "If you have any questions, you can call me."

  Luke took the business card, took out one of his own from his pocket and handed it to her, "If you think of something new, you can call me anytime."

   "I will, and I hope you can catch the murderer of Arnett as soon as possible."

  Nami Inoue led Luke out of the conference room, and asked a fat black woman, "Hey, Lucy, where is the supervisor?"

   "In his office, he is not in a very good mood now, I suggest you go in later."

   "I can wait, but these two gentlemen behind me want to talk to him."

  The fat black woman looked at Luke and Xiao Hei, shrugged, "What do you want?"

  Xiao Hei smiled, and whispered to Luke, "It seems that not everyone here knows you."

  Xiao Hei flashed his police badge, "lapd, I want to talk to your supervisor."

  The fat black woman pointed to the office on the east side, "He's right there, I'll take you there."

  The voice fell, "Boom."

   There was a loud bang.

  The glass in that office was shattered directly, smoke and dust were flying everywhere, and debris was flying.

   "Bomb!"

   "Get down!"
