In the conference room, Samuel Cliff apologized as soon as he saw Locke, “I’m sorry, Inspector Locke, I know this questioning will make you unhappy and an offense to you. However, when we investigated the murder of Theresa Turner and her son, we found that their deaths may be related to the control of Derek’s Used Car Company…”

“And the major shareholder of Derek’s Used Car Company, that is, Theresa Turner’s husband, Peter Turner, was also murdered not long ago…”

“According to public information, the Turners control 63.7% of the shares of Derek’s Used Car Company, so the offshore company San Jose, which holds 22% of the company’s shares, has become the actual controller of Derek’s Used Car Company…”

“According to the previous investigation file records of the second team, you suspect that the man behind San Jose, which is registered in the British Virgin Islands, is Jack Williams, the boss behind the Lakewood car theft organization ‘Black Jack’…”

“According to our investigation, Jack Williams suddenly disappeared last week, but according to the existing clues, he is most likely the murderer… ”

“If Jack Williams’ goal is the ownership of Derek’s used car company, then Peter Turner is most likely killed by him…”

“When we investigated Peter Turner, we found that you had used the avoidance procedure and learned that you had conflicts with Peter Turner…”

“So, this is just a routine questioning, please don’t mind!”

“…”

Locke looked at the middle-aged black man in front of him who was gentle and more like a university professor, and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart that this was a guy with great charisma.

In just a few words, with clear logic, he frankly stated his suspects and the purpose of this questioning.

There are very few black people who are so handsome.

If he didn’t work for the LAPD, he could go to Hollywood or the San Fernando Valley at will.

Samuel Cliff

Locke extended his hand and said solemnly: “Captain Cliff, I will tell you everything I know! Don’t worry, I am not only an American citizen, but also an LAPD!”

Samuel Cliff showed a handsome smile on his face, shook Locke’s hand, and said with a smile: “Thank you for your cooperation, Detective Locke!”

Next to Samuel Cliff was the white detective Cole Dawson of the third team.

He also shook hands with Locke and introduced himself: “Cole Dawson, Locke, I hope to receive your invitation to the next party!”

“Definitely!”

Locke also smiled, this is the charm of money.

After the greetings, the three sat on both sides of the conference table, Locke on one side, Samuel Cliff and Cole Dawson on the other.

Samuel Cliff asked, “Locke, can you tell me about the conflict between you and Peter Turner?”

“Of course…”

Locke looked reminiscent, “I forgot the exact date, but I remember that we were investigating the case of Judy Simpson when we suddenly received a call from the academic affairs office of my brother’s school, uh, Troy High Fullerton Joint Union High School. Fullerton)… ”

“wow…”

Cole Dawson, who was recording, looked up with an amazed look, and turned to Samuel Cliff and said, “I remember this is the second-ranked high school in Los Angeles!”

He apologized to Locke again: “Sorry, Locke, you continue!”

Locke shrugged and continued: “Miss Evelya Burton from the Academic Affairs Office of Tenoy High School informed me that my brother Jet Lee had a fight with someone and needed me to go to school…”

“At that time, my parents were on a business trip in San Francisco. Uh, my mother was selected as a new member of the California Bar Association, and my father went with her, so I became the temporary guardian of my brother and sister…”

“wow!!!”

Cole Dawson couldn’t help but exclaim again. The entire detective bureau knew that Locke Lee was not only capable, but also rich and had a deep background.

But no one knew the specific situation of his family. It turned out that his mother was a big lawyer.

To be elected as a member of the California Bar Association, he must be either a partner of a big law firm or have his own law firm.

Cole Dawson suddenly realized something, raised his hands, and apologized to Locke and Samuel Cliff again: “My fault, sorry…”

Samuel Cliff was speechless, “Hey, although this is not a formal inquiry, it is really rude to interrupt Locke like this!”

Cole Dawson made a mouth-sewing gesture and stretched out his hand to signal Locke to continue.

Locke seemed to be infected by the relaxed atmosphere, leaning back in his chair, and said: “When I arrived at school, I found that the classmate who fought with Jet was called Craven Turner. His fatherMy mother is Peter Turner and Theresa Turner…” After listening to Locke’s story, Samuel Cliff said thoughtfully: “You have uncovered Peter Turner’s scars, so he is the victim, and you have no reason to retaliate against him!” Cole Dawson was shocked: “So, Peter Turner really compensated you 300,000 US dollars, crazy, lawyers are really an enviable job!” “No…” Locke rejected Samuel Cliff’s words, “A week after this incident, Peter Turner hired a private detective to follow my mother. After my mother found out, she took refuge in the Wilshire Police Department in time. I also rushed to the scene as soon as possible and caught the detective. Uh, Deputy Captain Tony Gerard was with me at the time…” Samuel Cliff frowned and stared at Locke with burning eyes, “He actually followed your family. This means that Peter Turner is going to retaliate against you!” Locke’s expression was restrained, and he nodded: “I think so too, so I plan to talk to him…” Cole Dawson asked: “Are you sure you just want to talk to him? ”

Locke shrugged and said, “Of course, what else can I do. However, I might also talk to my uncle in the IRS and my friends in the FBI about this matter. It’s a pity that this guy died suddenly!”

“…”

Cole Dawson’s expression froze, he turned his head to look at Samuel Cliff, and put down the pen in his hand. He would definitely not write down this paragraph.

Samuel Cliff asked, “So you avoided investigating Peter Turner’s case just because you didn’t want to help Peter Turner find the murderer?”

Locke said frankly, “Yes, I felt that I could not participate in this case objectively, so I automatically avoided it!”

“Understand, LAPD also has family, I would do the same!”

Samuel Cliff nodded, stood up and stretched out his hand to Locke, “Locke, thank you for your cooperation, I’m sorry for wasting your time, you can leave!”

“This is what I should do! ”

Locke stood up and shook hands with him, then shook hands with Cole Dawson, then turned around and left the meeting room.

Cole Dawson glanced at the transcript, turned the pen in his hand, and said, “Captain, I think Peter Turner’s death should have nothing to do with Locke. With his identity and background, it is impossible for him to kill someone…”

Samuel Cliff nodded and said, “I know!”

Cole Dawson asked in confusion, “Then why do we have to find him to record a confession? This is clearly a lack of trust in him. Fortunately, he looks like a broad-minded person, otherwise we would have offended him today. This guy has good abilities and background, and he will definitely enter the Parker Center in the future…”

“Are you done?”

Samuel Cliff glanced at his partner expressionlessly, “I don’t know if he will enter the Parker Center, but I know he will be grateful to us…”

After hesitating for a while, he whispered, “Commander Davis told me to do this!”

Cole Dawson was stunned, and then he showed a look of realization.
