Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 72 Major Discovery

  The next morning.

  Luke and David decided to visit the people involved in the 'Tellson Disappearance Case'.

  Twenty years ago, these people took notes.

   Now that we have new clues, we need to make a new record, and perhaps we can learn more from them.

  However, twenty years have passed, and it is not easy to find them again. Many people have moved and changed their contact information.

  The first thing the two looked for was chef Salman Khan. According to Hans Miller, his wife trusted the chef and worked in his house for more than ten years.

   But it is a pity that Salman Khan's mobile phone number has been suspended.

  The two found his address again, but they had moved away ten years ago.

   Helpless, I can only look for the next target.

  Manor maid, Cindy Botu.

  Cindy Botu didn't leave a mobile phone number. Not everyone had a mobile phone in those days.

  Drove directly to her home address.

  A white two-story villa surrounded by a small courtyard of 200 square meters. Some flowers and plants are planted in the courtyard, which is full of life.

  This is the advantage of living in a small city, leisurely, comfortable, and cheap housing prices.

  The two walked to the door and knocked on the door.

   "Crackling..." After a while, the door opened.

  A white woman in her twenties stood at the door, "Who are you looking for?"

   "Does Cindy Botu live here?"

   "Yes, who are you?"

  Luke flashed his police badge, "lapd."

   "Whoa...I've only seen it on TV, are you serious?"

   "Of course, what is your relationship with Cindy Botu?"

   "She's my mother."

   "Is she home?"

   "At home, what do you do?"

   "We want to ask her for some information, please call her out."

   "Mom, the Los Angeles police are looking for you."

   After a while, a woman in her fifties came downstairs and looked at the door from the living room, "Police? What do you want from me?"

   Luke looked at the other party and asked, "Are you Ms. Cindy Botu?"

   "It's me, I haven't called the police."

   "We came to you to find out about the 'Disappearance Case at Tellson Manor'."

   "What? Twenty years have passed, you are not liars, are you?"

  Luke flashed his police badge again, "Some new clues have been found in this case, and I will make a record for you again."

  Cindy Botu was stunned for a while, "OK, it's just too incredible."

   "Can I go in and talk?"

   "Of course." Cindy invited the two into the room, and told her daughter beside her, "Go get two cups of coffee."

  Luke entered the living room and looked around. The room was cleaned very clean.

  Cindy gestured for the two to sit on the sofa, and asked, "Have you found Mrs. Anna? Is she okay?"

  "We did find some clues about Anna, but we can't confirm it yet."

   "Then what do you want from me?"

   "We want to ask some questions."

   "OK, you can ask."

  Cindy's daughter came over with a tray, put three cups of coffee on the coffee table, and then left the living room.

  Luke continued, "In recent years, have you recalled any new clues about the 'Disappearance of Tellson Manor'?"

   "Comeon, it's been twenty years, and I almost forgot what Mrs. Anna looks like."

   "Do you know Salman Khan?"

   "The Asian chef at the manor?"

   "Yes, do you have his contact information or know where he lives?"

   "No."

  Luke took out Cole's sketch portrait, "Do you know him?"

  Cindy picked it up and took a closer look, "It looks familiar... Oh, is it him? The manor driver who was regarded as a suspect?"

   "Yes, do you know his whereabouts?"

   "No, I remember that he was treated as a suspect twenty years ago, and he didn't dare to return to Heim City at all."

  Luke took out Tony's photo again, "Do you know him?"

  Cindy picked up the photo and looked at it carefully, then shook her head, "I don't know."

  Luke did not give up, and took out a photo of Lawn, "Where is this person?"

  Cindy shook her head again, "I have no impression."

   Luke nodded and took the photo, "We are looking for people who worked in the manor back then. Do you still have contact with them? Knowing their address is also fine."

  Cindy thought for a while, "Wow, it's been so long, I have to think about it... By the way, I met George. He also lived in Heim City and was the gardener of Tellson Manor back then."

   After getting the address, Luke and the two left.

   George's house is not far away, it only takes a few minutes by car.

  Luke knocked on the door of George's house again, and it was an old black woman in her sixties who opened the door.

   "Who are you looking for?"

   "lapd, we are investigating the 'disappearance of Tellson Manor' and want to find out some information from George."

  The old woman thought for a while, "That case from twenty years ago?"

"Yes."

   "You are not liars, I am old, but I am not confused at all."

  Luke flashed his police badge, "We just came from Cindy's house, and she told us that George also worked at Tellson Manor."

   "OK, come in." The old woman stepped aside and shouted into the room, "George, there are guests here."

   After a while, a gray-haired black man in his seventies came out, "What guest? Are you asking me to decorate the flowers and plants? What kind?"

  The old woman explained, "No, it's the police. They want to ask you about 'Tellson Manor'."

   "What manor? Tyson Manor? The boxer? He wants me to be the gardener?

  I bought Karma, I heard that he raised a big tiger, he is really a pervert.

but I like it. "

  The old woman spread her hands, "No, it's Tellson, where you used to work."

   "I have been a gardener all my life, and I have worked in so many places, it is impossible to remember them all." The black old man looked at Luke and David, "Are you the police?"

"Yes."

   "The police station can't do it either, I won't discount it, don't even think about it."

  Luke "…"

  The old woman shook her head, "Sorry, he's getting old, and he started suffering from dementia last year. He usually clears his mind after lunch break. You can come back at that time."

  David and Luke left the house in a daze.

  David seemed to be comforting himself, "After all, it is normal that the case from 20 years ago is not easy to investigate."

   Luke gets in the car, "Where are we going now?"

  David picked up the notebook, stroked it with a pen, "Next."

  …

   Half an hour later, they found Shane Carbin, who used to be a cook at Tellson Manor.

  Xie Ni Carbin is now an aunt in her fifties who runs a tavern. She is more than 1.6 meters tall and has a similar waist circumference.

   Luke felt that she might be heavier than himself.

  After explaining the purpose of coming, Xie Ni Kabin was very enthusiastic, "Oh, Tellson Manor, I still remember. Salman Khan was working with me at that time, and the curry mutton he made was delicious."

   "Do you still have contact with him?"

   "No." Xie Ni Kabin whispered, "My husband will be jealous."

  Luke agreed against his will, "Of course, he will." Then the topic changed, "In recent years, have you thought of any new clues about the 'disappearance of Tellson Manor'?"

   "I had already been fired at the time, and I was not very clear about this case, and it had nothing to do with me."

   Luke then asked her to help identify the photo.

  When she saw Tony's photo, Xie Ni seemed to think of something, "This person... looks familiar."

   "Where did you see him?"

   "I'm not sure, this person is much older than I thought."

   "This is his latest photo, his name is Tony, let's recall..."

   "Tony, Tony..." Shane Carbin muttered, "I remembered, he seems to be the manor maid's boyfriend."

  Luke frowned slightly, "Is that maid Cindy Botu?"

   "Yeah, it's Cindy, I haven't seen her in so many years, I almost can't remember."

   Luke and Luke left and returned to Cindy Botu's house immediately.

  David slapped the steering wheel hard, "fuck, I was cheated by her."

   Luke secretly thought, no wonder Cindy Botu would tell the address of old George's home. George is already demented, so it is impossible to remember Tony's identity.

  It can divert the attention of the police and buy time for escape.
