Los Angeles Detective

"Ha ha…"

 Mike smiled, "I didn't expect that I would still have followers in prison. This **** society is really crazy."

Amir said, “This follower knows your crime methods, methods and bloodstain symbols very well, and is probably someone you are familiar with.

 We hope you can provide some relevant clues. "

Mike thought for a while and said, "You guys from the FBI and the police also know very well how I commit crimes. Maybe you leaked the information."

 Amir “…”

  Luke said, “Our FBI will investigate this aspect on its own.

 The purpose of our visit today is to get some clues from you. "

Mike was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, there's no one like this around me."

  Luke shook his head, "That's not the right answer."

 Mike spread his hands, “But this is a fact.

 If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do about it. "

  Luke asked a few more questions, but Mike's attitude was very perfunctory and did not provide any valuable clues.

When the time came to talk, Mike was taken away by the prison guards.

Amir said, "I feel like this guy is hiding something."

  Luke nodded and also found that Mike showed signs of lying. He probably knew some clues, but if he refused to tell, it would be difficult to pry his mouth open in a short time.

  Mike is burdened with dozens of lives and is a serious criminal. He will never leave prison in his life, and it is difficult for the FBI to provide him with satisfactory conditions.

Of course, it is not impossible for the FBI to deal with him, but it is difficult to say how effective it will be and how long it will take.

 To put it bluntly, this guy is a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water, but the case cannot wait.

 Instead of wasting time on him, it is better to find a more suitable investigation method.

 Since the murderer of Grace Bloomberg may have been a follower of Mike, there should have been contact between the two.

  Luke found the prison director and asked for Mike's visit records and correspondence records.

Mike refused to say that they could screen the suspects themselves.

 The two returned to the FBI Criminal Investigation Division and began to check visitation surveillance and communication records.

 …

Luke was immersed in investigating the case when the door of the office suddenly opened.

Director Negan Thomas strode into the office and asked everyone, "How is it? Have you found any clues about the murderer?"

Michael said, “We have found the suspect vehicle driven by the suspected murderer and are tracking it.

 Luke and Amir went to the prison to meet Bloody Mike and were investigating suspicious persons who had contacted Mike. "

Negan Thomas still frowned and sighed, "Well done, but not enough."

Luke felt that his expression was a little solemn and asked, "Director Thomas, what happened?"

Negan Thomas didn’t say anything and turned on the hanging TV, which happened to be playing New York news.

 Hello viewers, welcome to The New York Times, I’m reporter Theo Wald.

I just got some breaking news. On the night of October 3rd, a murder occurred in Mount Most. The victim was a woman who may have been assaulted before her death.

 It is said that the scene was very tragic, and the victim's arms were cut off...it was so terrible.

 As for the identity of the victim, it is likely that she is the wife of the mayor of New York...]

Negan Thomas turned off the TV and spread his hands, "What do you think?"

 Michael replied sullenly, "Obviously, someone leaked the information, and the situation is not good for us."

 Louis crossed her arms and asked, "Can you find out who leaked the news?"

Amir shook his head, "It's difficult. The police have also been to the scene and understand the situation at the crime scene. Although they are not responsible for investigating the case, they know no less than us."

Negan Thomas said, "You don't have to worry about leaking information. I will handle it and I will explain it to the mayor.

But the investigation of the case needs to be accelerated. I don’t want the FBI to be led by the murderer like five years ago. One Bloody Mike is enough.

 I will send you more manpower. "

After Negan Thomas finished speaking, he left the office directly without waiting for anyone to reply.

Amir said, “Although reporters have not mentioned Bloody Mike for the time being, as more clues are leaked, someone will definitely connect the mayor’s wife’s death with Bloody Mike.

 Five years ago, Bloody Mike killed dozens of people in a row, causing great panic to the citizens of New York.

If news about him spreads again, and the victim is the mayor's wife...

 I can’t imagine how much of a stir it will cause... We will be under great pressure. "

Louise said, "I have been thinking that the modus operandi of the Mount Most murder case is very similar to that of Bloody Mike. It can even be said to be exactly the same. Is it possible that it was committed by the same murderer."

Amir denied, "It's impossible. I just saw Bloody Mike in prison this afternoon. It's impossible for him to come out to commit crimes."

 Louis shrugged, "I mean, is it possible that the wrong person was arrested back then?

Mike is just the culprit, and the real culprit is someone else. " Michael covered his head, "Impossible, I participated in the capture of Bloody Mike.

 We found the murder weapon at Bloody Mike's house, with the deceased's blood on it and his fingerprints.

 Furthermore, we also found the victim’s arm in his home.

This evidence was enough to convict him.

 In addition, the crime process he explained during the interrogation was also consistent with the situation at the scene. "

Luke speculated, “Is it possible that not one person committed the crime that year, but Bloody Mike and his accomplices.

It’s just that this accomplice was hidden deeper, and Bloody Mike didn’t betray him.

 Five years later, for some reason, this accomplice committed another crime. "

Amir said, “If this is the case, Bloody Mike must know more than what he said today.

 Even, he may have guessed the identity of the murderer. "

Michael's tone was a little low, "Give me some time, I will find a way to get this **** to speak."

Luke smiled and said, "Then let's investigate separately and see who makes progress faster."

 Michael said very confidently, "It must be me."

 …

 At nine o'clock in the evening, Luke returned to his father's house.

Li Zhaofeng was busy in the kitchen, "I came back just in time, the meal is ready."

Luke smelled the aroma of the food and was already very hungry. He simply washed up and returned to the restaurant to eat, "Isn't Aunt Chen here?"

"She has returned to Fire Island. It's more than an hour's drive from here. It's very beautiful there and there are a lot of delicious food. When she left, she asked me to invite you to be a guest there on her behalf."

Luke smiled and said, "It sounds good, but I have to wait until I have time."

“I know, you are a busy man.” Li Zhaofeng filled a bowl of rice and placed it in front of Luke.

 Smelling the aroma of rice, Luke's stomach was already growling with hunger.

 The food on the table is very rich, including boiled prawns, a platter of donkey meat and donkey intestines, stir-fried large peppers, and stir-fried white fungus with carrots.

 Luke picked up the rice bowl and started eating.

Li Zhaofeng was not very hungry, so he started to peel the shrimp and put the shrimp meat into the dipping sauce. "I saw on the news today that the mayor's wife seemed to have been killed. Is it true?"

Luke ate half a bowl of rice to fill his stomach. He was not that hungry anymore and said, "It's true. I came to New York just to investigate this case."

  Luke did not deliberately hide it, because the information would be on the news sooner or later, as long as the key information of the case was not revealed.

  Sometimes, family members may ask about a case out of curiosity. If they don't say a word, it will appear unreasonable.

Li Zhaofeng finished peeling the shrimp and wiped his hands with a paper towel, "I saw on the news that the mayor's wife died miserably. The scene was particularly bloody, and even her arms were chopped off."

 Luke nodded, "That's what happened."

Li Zhaofeng said with emotion, "I often see the mayor's wife in the news. She is very beautiful. She wants money and power. I didn't expect to end up like this."

Luke said, "This case does have a big impact. The FBI has been blocking the news before, but I didn't expect it to be found out by reporters."

“It must be a lot of pressure to investigate this case, eat more.” Li Zhaofeng pushed the donkey meat platter in front of Luke.

“They are really keeping a close eye on them.” Luke took a piece of donkey meat and a piece of donkey intestine and mixed it with rice to eat. It was very fragrant.

 Luke has a rather picky taste. He often eats other meats and is not too rare. He prefers donkey meat.

 …

 The next morning.

 At around eight o'clock in the morning, Luke rushed to the FBI Criminal Investigation Department.

Michael put on his coat and was about to go out, "Luke, you came just in time, I'm going to go to the prison to talk to Bloody Mike.

 Do you want to go together? "

  Luke shook his head, "That guy wanted to say it, and he already said it yesterday."

“That only shows that your methods are not good enough.” Michael laughed and left the office with several agents.

  Luke and Amir met, and the two continued to study the information brought back from prison.

During the five years that Mike was in prison, there were dozens of people who corresponded with him. Although Luke did not know the content of the letters, he was able to find out the identity of the sender, thereby determining their identity and investigating their information and background.

 After some research, Luke and Amir identified a suspicious person.

 Tanghi Bruns.

 He is male and fits the characteristics of the murderer.

Not long after Mike was imprisoned, he began to correspond with Mike for five years.

In addition, he also has records of visiting Mike.

 The most critical point is that Luke found out that Donji Bruns also owned a black Lexus car, which was probably the suspect vehicle that appeared at the crime scene.
