Los Angeles Detective

 Chapter 600 Close Friend

Luke took a sip of coffee and asked, "Ms. Carioca, what do you think is the most important thing about interacting with people?"

 Mia Carioca was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't know why Luke asked this, and slowly said two words, "Respect."

Luke nodded, "Yes, respect is mutual. Only when you respect me can I respect you.

 And deception is a sign of disrespect for the other person.

 Just like you are now. "

 “I didn’t lie, everything I said was true.” Mia Carioca looked sincere.

Luke continued to stare at the other person and asked tentatively, "Did you already know about the murder of Grace Bloomberg?"

 Mia Carioca shook her head, "I don't know, I just heard what you said."

“If this is your attitude, then there is no need for us to talk.” Luke stood up, took out his mobile phone and made a call, “Hi, Michael, this is Luke.

What happened to what the terrorist told me...

Hmm, I get it.

Since he is not cooperating and may have hidden other dangerous items, I think it is necessary to conduct a detailed search of the Venus Club.

 This way can ensure the safety of every guest in the club.

 Take more people with you to prevent possible accomplices.

Alright, we'll meet at the club later. "

Luke hung up the phone and said to Mia Carioca, "Madam, let's talk about this first today. I have other cases that need to be investigated."

Luke didn't deliberately lower his voice when he called, so Mia Carioca heard it clearly. She didn't know that Luke was threatening her. As long as her answer dissatisfied him, he would arrest her. The club was raided in the name of arresting terrorists.

What is called a search is actually harassment. This kind of behavior will invade the privacy of customers and make them feel that the club is unsafe.

Moreover, the customers of the Venus Club are all people with status. If they learn that the FBI has come to the club to investigate terrorism, they will definitely feel disgusted and will not come to the club to spend money in the future. Then sooner or later, her club will collapse.

Mia Carioca angrily accused, "You can't do this. What's the difference between using such despicable means to force me and a robber?"

Luke looked confused and asked, "Ms. Carioca, what are you talking about?"

“Please stop raiding the club, which will bring a devastating blow to the club’s reputation.

 This club does not belong to me alone. There are other people behind it. You cannot afford to offend me. "

  Luke smiled and said, "Are you threatening me?"

 “No, that’s not what I meant.”

"Then what do you mean?

 Why have you been obstructing our investigation into terrorism? Or are you saying that you have something to do with terrorism and are you worried that we will find evidence of cooperation between you? "

 “This is a false accusation. I don’t know what the accusation is.”

Luke said, “Every fear score I’ve ever checked says that.

 Before the investigation, they were innocent and good citizens, but in private they were ruthless devils. "Luke stood up, "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here.

Amir, send Lady Carioca away. "

Mia Carioca did not stand up, but stared at Luke closely. The expression on her face also changed again and again. There was fear and anger, but more of it was helplessness. "Sorry, I just said Lie.

Please don’t let the FBI raid the club.

 I want to tell the truth. "

Luke did not sit back in his chair, but asked condescendingly, "You say it, I'll listen."

Seeing that Luke would leave at any time, Mia Carioca took a deep breath and did not dare to hesitate, "I did know about Grace's murder.

 This is also the reason why I avoided the FBI before. "

Luke asked, "So, you admitted that you were involved in Grace Bloomberg's death."

“This matter is a bit complicated to talk about, and it involves some of Grace’s privacy, which is why I don’t want to talk about it.

 Once I say it, it may cause some trouble to Grace. "

“Dead people don’t need privacy, and there is no trouble. You can talk about it now.”

"Are you sure you really want to know? Sometimes even if you have done nothing wrong, you will offend others if you know something you shouldn't know."

 “Who are you referring to?”

Mia Carioca pointedly pointed out, "Although Grace is dead, her husband is still alive."

“It seems you want to use the mayor of New York to suppress me.” Luke smiled and asked, “Do you know why we are investigating you?”

"Could it be that..." Mia Carioca seemed to have guessed something, a look of dejection appeared on her face, and she sighed, "In this case, there is no need for me to hide it anymore.

 That night, Grace did call me.

Although I didn't go to comfort her, I sent another person there, and I felt that person was more suitable than me..." Mia Carioca hesitated to speak.

"who?"

 “Filippo Carter.”

"who is he?"

 “Employees of our club.”

 “What’s his relationship with Grace Bloomberg?”

“A good friend, a very good friend. He can not only heal Grace’s inner loneliness, but also make up for the emptiness in her body.”

 “Is Filippo Carter Grace Bloomberg’s lover?”

“Not really, they won’t have real feelings, this is just a job for Filippo Carter, and Grace knows this very well.

 Philippo Carter's whole existence is to make Grace happy.

 Be there when she needs you. If you leave when you don’t need it, there will be no consequences. "

“Did Grace Bloomberg take the initiative to ask Filippo Carter to comfort Grace Bloomberg, or was it your order?”

“Grace didn’t explain it clearly, but I could guess what she was thinking.

 She was angry with her husband just now...

I know very well that she can’t fight against her rich and powerful husband, and she must be feeling very angry.

This method can not only help her get revenge on her husband, but also vent her anger. "

Luke said smoothly, "Because they wanted to have an affair, they found a remote place. Is that why they died halfway up a mountain in the suburbs of New York?"

 “I don’t know where they went, and I won’t ask.

And this is not the first time they have gone out. There was no problem before. Who knew something would happen this time. "Mia Carioca sighed, showing a self-deprecating look, "You know? When this happened, I was the most unlucky one.

 I had good intentions, but now I have gotten into trouble and affected the club's business. "

 “How long have Grace Bloomberg and Filippo Carter known each other?”

 “It’s been about three months.”

“How do the two of them get along? Have there been any conflicts?”

“Absolutely impossible.

 Our club will never allow conflicts between employees and customers. Everything from the customers is right.

 And as far as I know, the two of them have a good relationship.

 Filippo Carter is young, tall, handsome and strong;

 Grace has status and status, and she is not very old. Instead, she has the elegance of a lady.

 They go well together and are very harmonious in that respect. "Mia Carioca stopped talking and licked her lips.

  “Sorry, I got it wrong.

 The night of the accident, Filippo Carter called me and told me that Grace had been murdered.

 I was petrified at the time, and only after confirming it carefully with Filippo Carter did I believe it. "

“Tell me in detail, what happened between the two of them that night?”

“I asked Filippo Carter how Grace died, and he couldn’t tell.

 I asked repeatedly if it was him who did it, and he said no.

 Furthermore, I don’t think he has the courage.

 As to what exactly happened, I didn’t ask much.

The more you know about this kind of thing, the more troublesome it becomes.

 As I am now, I would rather Filippo Carter had told me nothing.

This way I won’t be implicated, and Venus Club’s business will not be affected. "

 Luke ignored Mia Carioca’s thoughts and continued to ask, “Where is Filippo Carter now?”

"I don't know. I gave him a period of leave. I asked him not to go to the club for the time being. I was worried that he would affect the club." Mia Carioca said helplessly, "But I didn't expect you to still come to the door. Yes, I told you everything.

 I hope you won’t embarrass me again. "

“So, your role in this case is that of a pimp?”

 Mia Carioca frowned and said, “I don’t like this title.

 Grace prefers to call me a close friend. "

Luke joked, "The result is that your close friend killed her."

“Grace’s death has nothing to do with me.

 There is no reason for me to kill her.

 If there is anyone in this world who doesn’t want her to die, that person is probably me.

 I assure you, I am more sincere than her husband on this point. "

 “Then who do you think killed her?”

"I have no idea.

really do not know.

The water behind big people like them is very deep, and I am just a small character, so I can’t see clearly or understand it at all.

 What I can do is serve them well and make them happy. "

 Luke stared at the other person, "If you want me to believe you, help us find the whereabouts of Filippo Carter."

Mia Carioca agreed happily, "I know Filippo Carter's residential address. You can go there to find him. There is also his mobile phone number."

"write down."

  Luke took out his cell phone and dialed Michael’s number, “Man, Mia Carioca provided a new clue.

 She sent a duck to meet Grace Bloomberg that night.

Even if that duck is not the murderer, he may be a witness. I will send you the address. "

After Luke and Michael finished chatting, he said to Amir beside him, "Track Filippo Carter's mobile phone and confirm his location as soon as possible."

Amir picked up the note with the mobile phone number on the table and stood up, "I hope it's not too late."
