North America’s toughest police: starting with the Los Angeles Patrol

Locke replied: “Deputy Captain, we should speak with evidence, not feelings…”

Tony Gerard’s face froze, and he said self-deprecatingly: “Good, you have the potential to become a detective!”

The information of Cress Miller and Pan Ao Sangis flashed through Locke’s mind. His mental attribute is now 16. Although his IQ does not seem to have improved much, his memory and learning ability are already at the level of a genius.

Things that have been seen will be remembered quickly, and there is no need to study them with information like Tony Gerard.

Cress Miller and Pan Ao Sangis became the two most suspicious people, naturally not just because they fit the profile and portrait of the murderer, but because both of them had motives for murder.

Since Cress Miller wrote an autobiography describing his wife’s disappearance, his unjust investigation, various interrogations, and finally walking out of the darkness and overcoming everything, he has published several criminal investigation novels related to psychology, but they all failed.

In recent years, he has relied on “Cress Miller’s Redemption”, uh, this is the title of his best-selling book, which brought him millions of dollars in royalties.

He used the huge royalties to buy himself a villa in Topanga Canyon and also jumped into the upper class. However, as his new books failed one after another, without a new source of income, his economy has been in trouble and he can no longer maintain a decent life in the upper class.

Therefore, Cress Miller is likely to want to replicate the success of “Cress Miller’s Redemption” before, personally create a murder that shocked the United States, and put himself in a judicial dilemma.

As long as he can escape legal sanctions again, he can take advantage of the popularity and publish another autobiography.

It is almost foreseeable that this book will most likely be a hot seller, and he will also get rid of his financial difficulties.

So his motive is money.

And Panao Sangis is because he has a manic personality and violent tendencies, and needs to take psychiatric drugs for a long time.

His family once called the police for domestic violence, and the police also intervened, but later his Asian wife withdrew the call.

This is an uncontrollable person and a potential criminal.

Soon Locke and his team came to Topanga Canyon again. Cress Miller’s villa was on a hillside with a great view. The nearest villa was a kilometer away, and the privacy was excellent.

The yard was large and the gate was high. After entering the gate, you had to drive dozens of meters to reach the villa.

This luxury house in Topanga Canyon was more in line with the description, and the price was about 3.5 million US dollars.

Locke saw Tony Gerard sitting in the co-pilot seat and looked calm. He had no intention of going down to ring the doorbell, so he went down consciously.

“Beep…”

After three beeps, a magnetic voice came from the speaker, “This is Cress Miller, who are you? What’s the matter?”

Locke said: “Professor Miller, I am Detective Locke Lee, my colleagues and I want to find you to find out about Mrs. Miller’s disappearance…”

As a student of UCLA, although Cress Miller had been fired by UCLA when he was in school, he was still willing to respect him as a professor.

After three seconds of silence, Cress Miller replied: “Wait a minute, I’ll open the door for you!”

After waiting for two minutes, the courtyard door still did not open.

Locke and Tony Gerard looked at each other, and when they were about to go down and ring the doorbell again, the courtyard door slowly opened.

When Locke drove the guard to the villa, he found that Cress Miller was already waiting at the door. He was wearing a shirt and trousers, a tie, a vest, and leather shoes, very formal.

“Locke Lee, this is my boss, Deputy Captain Tony Gerard…”

Although Cress Miller is black, he has a gentle and elegant temperament, and exudes a strong scholarly atmosphere.

After shaking hands with Locke and Tony Gerard, he led them into the room and asked Locke, “Did you graduate from UCLA?”

Facing Locke’s astonished expression, he smiled confidently and said, “It’s easy to guess. No one has called me professor for a long time. However, I should not have taught you…”

“Yes, professor…”

Locke’s face appropriately showed the reserve and humility of a student meeting a teacher.

He also got a lot of information. He knew why Kress Miller made them wait for two minutes, because he changed his clothes and sprayed perfume and breath freshener to cover up the smell of alcohol on his body.

His clothes were very old, the collar and cuffs of his shirt were worn, and the Berluti leather shoes on his feet were also very old.

The furniture and decorations in the room were all ordinary crafts.

Suddenly, Locke’s eyes stayed on an oil painting on the wall of the stairs for a second. The color of this paintingIt was used very well, and it didn’t seem like a work of art.

Cress Miller took Locke and Tony Gerard to the spacious and bright living room salon area, poured them two glasses of water, and then asked, “You just said you came here for Terry…”

Locke had been observing Cress Miller. Since he acquired the innate skill of spiritual mentor, his ability to analyze micro-expressions has greatly improved.

He found that Cress Miller’s expression was very calm. He said his wife’s name without any emotional fluctuations.

Tony Gerard nodded and said, “Yes, we recently encountered a case where the murderer dismembered the body and dumped it into the sea using a drone. So, we think that the disappearance of Ms. Miller was also caused by the murderer using this method…”

“…”

Cress Miller was stunned for a moment, but soon said, “The drone technology five years ago should not be able to do this. Whether it is the load capacity or the range, it should not be able to do this…”

He showed a curious look, “Can you tell me what case the drone dumping is? Why haven’t I heard of it? This is indeed a novel corpse dumping plan. The body appeared far away from the crime scene without any trace. Jesus, this is simply a genius idea. I want to write this case into my book…”

Cress Miller became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was really inspired and was ready to write immediately.

Locke’s eyes flashed, and he found that Cress Miller was acting. Could it be that this guy is the murderer?

The lawn outside is very spacious and flat. Not to mention flying a drone, there is no problem with taking off and landing a helicopter.

Just when he was about to ask whether Cress Miller had purchased a DJI drone, Tony Gerard’s phone rang. When he answered the call, his face changed instantly.

After hanging up the phone, Tony Gerard said, “Mr. Miller, you are right. The drone technology five years ago really could not achieve long-distance disposal of corpses. Sorry to bother you!”

After that, he winked at Locke and stood up and walked out.

Locke hurriedly stood up, “Sorry to bother you, Professor Miller!”

As soon as he got in the car, Tony Gerard said while fastening his seat belt, “Harry and the others went to the set to find Pan Ao Sanjis, and just as they revealed their identities, this guy ran away, so Pan Ao Sanjis is most likely the murderer!”

Locke waved to Cress Miller, who was standing at the door and looking at them calmly. After turning and leaving Cress Miller’s sight, he said in a deep voice, “But Cress Miller is also problematic!”
