Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 561 Mutual benefit

   "Isn't your purpose to take revenge? Why do you say you want to save more people?" Luke heard the implication, a person's motive for committing a crime changes, and the way of committing a crime will also change.

A flash of sharpness flashed in Thomas Corley's eyes, "I hate not only Kallman Pharmaceuticals, but also the unethical system of drug testers. I want to use the death of Rochelle Horn to trigger more People pay attention to the industry of drug testers.

   Only in this way can it be possible to ban this industry, which is my ultimate goal. "

   "The report letter against Kallman Pharmaceuticals for illegal human experiments, you also asked Rochel Horn to mail it to the TV station?"

  "That's right, only in this way will Rochel Horn's death attract more attention, and more people will boycott Kallman Pharmaceuticals and the tester system.

   Now it seems to work well.

  The citizens of Los Angeles still have a sense of justice, and I believe they will soon flood the streets. ’ Thomas Corley had a smile on his face.

   Luke changed the question to, "Why did you kidnap Lydia Cooney's daughter?"

   "If possible, I would like to say sorry to that girl in person. I never thought of hurting her, it was just a last resort." Thomas Corley spread his hands and explained,

"Rogel Horn's death will ruin the reputation of Kallman Pharmaceuticals, but I don't think that's enough. I want to destroy their experimental results. That's why I thought of setting fire to Kallman Pharmaceuticals. experimental building.

  We needed an insider to lead the way, so we kidnapped Lydia Cooney's daughter. In fact, even if you didn't rescue the little girl, I would send her away in two days. "

  Xiao Hei sarcastically said, "You are such a kind guy, I have some doubts now, is it a mistake to let you sit in that chair?"

   "I know you may not believe it, but what I say is true."

  Luke crossed out another question, "Why did you kill Walda Baker?"

  Thomas Corley touched his chin, "Damn that guy, he wasn't a good person in the first place, he was mercenary and extremely greedy.

   But then again, if he wasn't greedy, he wouldn't be doing this with me.

  However, I simply don't have that much money to give him, or rather, I'm not as rich as he imagined. In that case, I can only kill him.

  Otherwise, he will definitely cause trouble, and then the whole plan will fail, and Rochel Horn's death will be worthless. "

   "Is anyone else involved in your plan?"

   "No, there are too many people, but it is easy to leak information."

Luke concluded, "So, the murder of Rochelle Horne, the kidnapping of Lydia Cooney's daughter, the arson of Kalman Pharmaceuticals, the murder of Walda Baker, it's all up to you It was planned and implemented behind the scenes."

   "Yes." Thomas Coley nodded vigorously, "I believe it is worth it. Kallman Pharmaceuticals has been punished as it should, and more people have begun to pay attention to the work of drug testers that violates humanity.

  Although I was arrested, my goal was achieved.

  Believe me, the world would be a better place without the job of drug tester. "

  Xiao Hei said, "Listen, I don't like the job of drug tester either, and I know it will hurt some people.

   But you also need to know that the purpose of developing new drugs is to save people. Once the drugs are on the market, they can save more patients.

in a sense…"

  Thomas Corley's voice suddenly rose, interrupting Xiao Hei, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are part of life. People can be treated when they are sick, but don't over-treat them.

  The human body itself has a certain self-healing ability, and excessive use of drugs will only make the body weaker.

   If you really have an incurable disease, then die calmly.

  Is it meaningful to lie in bed and rely on drugs to maintain life?

   Moreover, human life is equal, and no one is obliged to try medicine to treat other people's diseases.

   This is immoral and will be punished by God. "

  Thomas Corley stared at Luke and Xiao Hei, as if he wanted to get their approval, or expected their rebuttal.

  Luke shrugged, "I'm not interested in this advanced topic, you'd better save it to the jury and judge in court.

   If you can convince them, maybe you don't have to go to jail. "

  Thomas Corley said firmly, "I will!"

  Afterwards, Luke packed up his things and left the interrogation room with Blackie.

  Xiao Hei caught up with Luke, pointed to his head, "Captain, do you think this guy has a brain problem?"

   "No, he's sober."

   "Then what do you think of what he said just now?"

   Luke sneered, "It's full of lies."

  Xiao Hei frowned, "What do you mean?"

   "Forget what he just said, the rhetoric he just said is just diverting your attention."

   "Didn't he kill Walda Baker?"

   "Walda Baker should have been killed by him, but there are some truths and falsehoods in his words, and he must have concealed some important clues..."

  There are three reasons why Luke did not point out the other party during the interrogation. First, the other party has already pleaded guilty.

  Second, in order to paralyze the other party, make the other party mistakenly think that the police believed his words, and see if it will show his feet.

  Third, Luke only saw that the other party was lying, and there was no evidence to prove that the other party was lying.

  What Luke has to do now is to collect more clues and evidence to find the truth that Thomas Corley concealed.

  …

   Rochelle Horne's house.

   "Boom..."

   After a while, the door opened.

  The door was opened by Christian Horn, wife of Rochelle Horn.

   She met Luke at the Robbery and Murder Division earlier.

  Christian Horn looked at Luke and Xiao Hei with some surprise, "Captain Li, why are you here?

  Is there a result in my husband's case? "

  Luke looked at the other party. The woman's face was a little haggard, and her mental state was not very good. "Yes, the case of your husband's murder has indeed progressed. We are here today to check his remains. Maybe we can find some new clues."

   "Come in." Christian Horn stepped aside and asked Luke and Xiao Hei to sit on the sofa in the living room. "What remains of my husband do you want to see?"

  Luke glanced at the living room, "Can I wander around the room?"

   "Sorry, but in this house besides my husband's stuff, there is also my children's stuff, especially I have a girl.

   I'm really sorry, it's really inconvenient. "Christian Horn showed a embarrassed look, and suggested, "Captain Li, why don't you have a cup of coffee first, and I'll take out my husband's belongings." "

   "That's fine too.

   No need for coffee, we drank it on the way here. "Luke politely declined.

   "Excuse me." Christian Horn nodded, and then entered the bedroom on the first floor.

  Xiao Hei whispered, "Why do I feel she is a little cold?"

  Luke didn't answer, because the purpose of their visit this time was to investigate the $200,000 employment payment that Thomas Corley paid Rochel Horn.

  Christian Horn's attitude shows that the other party has found the money and guessed the purpose of Luke and others.

   After a while, Christian Horn came over with a cardboard box and put it on the coffee table, "These are left by my husband, I...

   I put it away ahead of time, but haven't figured out what to do with it yet.

   If you need it, take it. "

  Luke looked at the items in the box. There were photo albums, books, and some documents. There were not many things. "Is that all?"

   "There are still some clothes and tools in the garage." After Christian Horn finished speaking, he changed the topic, "Captain Li, have you found the murderer of my husband?"

  Luke nodded, "Well, the case is a bit complicated."

"What's the meaning?"

   "Your husband probably didn't kill himself, but committed suicide."

  Christian Horn shook her head, "It's impossible, my husband will not commit suicide, we have a very good relationship, and we have two lovely children.

  I know him, he can't leave us alone. "

   Luke said, "After your husband lost his job, he lost his source of income and had to rely on gambling to maintain family expenses. He made some money at first, but then lost more money.

   As a last resort, he borrowed a loan shark, and in order to repay the loan shark, he became a drug tester.

   But he still couldn't repay the usury loan. In the past six months, he had lived a very hard life with a lot of pressure.

   At this time, a person came to him and told him a way to make money. As long as his death was related to the trial drug, he could get compensation from the pharmaceutical company.

   Moreover, the man promised to give him two hundred thousand dollars.

  Mrs. Christian Horn, have you seen the two hundred thousand dollars? "

  Christian Horn's eyes flickered, his temples began to sweat, and he shook his head, "No, I haven't seen it... If our family has such a large sum of money, I won't worry about my future life."

   Luke stared at the other party, obviously feeling the panic of the other party, and persuaded, "Madam, I suggest you look for it carefully, maybe it is left in a corner."

  Christian Horn stood up and took two steps back, "You must be mistaken, our family doesn't have that much money."

  Luke also got up, "Mind if we search it?"

   "I refuse." Christian Horn walked to the door and opened it, "Please leave my house immediately."

  Luke showed the search warrant, "I suggest you go and search again, otherwise, we can only do it ourselves.

  I don't think you want to be caught in the police station for harboring stolen property. "

  Christian Horn covered her mouth, "Why did you do this to me? My husband is dead, and my children and I are helpless...

   Do you want to watch us wander the streets?

  Why don't you give us a way to survive? "

  Luke put away the search warrant, "Mrs. Christian Horn, I understand your situation, but leaving money of unknown origin may not be a good thing.

  Can you spend flowers with confidence? "

   "I don't have any source of income now, the money was bought by my husband with his life, please..."

   "I know that your life is difficult, and I have a way to help you, but not with the two hundred thousand dollars."

"Can I trust you?"

   "My patience is limited.

  You know, I have the right to do my own search. "

"I'll get it."

  Christian Horn took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then went into the basement. When he came up again, he was holding a travel bag in his hand, which looked very heavy.

  Christian Horn reluctantly put the travel bag on the coffee table, opened the zipper, "It's all here."

  Xiao Hei leaned over to check it. It was twenty bundles of brand new green banknotes.

  Luke picked up the notebook on the side, opened the notebook, and there was a diary written by Rochel Horn, which also recorded his psychological process of suicide, which was roughly the same as that described by Thomas Corley.

  Luke closed the diary, "When did you find the diary and the money?"

  “Yesterday, when I was packing up my husband’s belongings, I found the money and the diary. I also thought about handing these over to the police, but…my child and I really need the money.”

   Luke nodded, "I know your life is not easy, and I don't want to take the money, but the suspect who gave your husband the money has been arrested.

  His testimony is on the record and the money has to be filed. "

   "My God, how should we live in the future?" Christian Horn sobbed in a low voice.

   "I have a way, maybe I can help you get a sum of money, although it may not be much, but it should be enough for you to live for a while."

  Christian Horn looked at Luke with a look of expectation, "What way?"

   "Kalman Pharmaceuticals."

  Christian Horn thought for a while, "Are you telling us to sue Kalman Pharmaceuticals?"

  Luke shook his head, "The investigation of the case is now very clear. Your husband clearly knows that alcohol and drugs are not allowed during the drug trial stage, but he did it deliberately in order to defraud Karman Pharmaceutical Company of compensation.

   Now that the police have found out, this method will not work. "

"Then what should I do?"

"I can help you reconcile with Kallman Pharmaceuticals. You can tell about the family's difficulties. Perhaps they are willing to compensate some humanitarians." Luke is not abusing good people. The current situation of Kallman Pharmaceuticals is not good. The news has brought great distress to their company.

  If at this time, the widow of the deceased speaks up and denies the rumor that Kallman Pharmaceuticals is conducting illegal human experiments, it will be good for Kallman Pharmaceuticals, and it can reverse the image of Kallman Pharmaceuticals to a certain extent.

   Moreover, a small amount of money is nothing to Kallman Pharmaceuticals, but it is related to the livelihood of the Christian Horn family.

  Each side gets what it needs, which is good for everyone.

  Luke believes that the top management of Kallman will definitely agree.

  Christian Horn can also get a sum of money to ensure the life of himself and his children, killing two birds with one stone.

  Of course, Luke is just connecting, and the specific content needs to be discussed by themselves.

   Thanks for the reward from book friends!
