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

45 minutes later, Locke and Thaddeus Martin appeared at the scene in Inglewood, a villa in a high-end community.

Although Madeline Hill asked them to go there immediately, they could not leave immediately. They needed to hand over the scene and arrange for someone to send Tim McKinney and Daisy to the detective bureau.

When Locke and his team arrived, they found that except for Madeline Hill and Brian Smith, everyone else was standing outside the villa, and the patrolmen who cooperated with the arrest operation were maintaining order at the scene.

There were also figures of forensic staff walking around in the villa, and they immediately guessed what happened.

Damn, a murder happened here!

Locke asked, “Who died?”

“Christian Roldan…”

Madeline Hill looked grim, “After we broke into the room, we found Christian Roldan’s body in the bedroom. There was a knife stuck in his chest. It is not certain how long he has been dead…”

Locke raised his eyebrows. Tim McKinney could have new prey, and Christian Roldan must have too.

The villa in front of him is not something that a foreigner like Christian Roldan who is chasing the American dream in the United States can own. The villa in this area is at least 2 million US dollars.

He asked: “Who owns this villa?”

Brian Smith replied: “Chen Jing Hua, Chinese nationality, we also found out that he has a daughter, Sophia Chen, who is studying at USC. We have just confirmed with the community HOA (Homeowners Association) that this villa is indeed used by Sophia Chen. Christian Roldan moved in here three months ago…”

Locke glanced at Madeline Hill. It seems that this woman has already thought of it.

He asked, “Where did Sophia Chen go?”

Brian Smith said, “I checked Sophia Chen’s exit record. She left the country at 7:45 last night and took China Eastern Airlines MU586 back to China. This plane flies directly from Los Angeles to Shanghai, which takes about 12-14 hours. I checked the flight information of this plane. The plane landed at Shanghai International Airport in two hours!”

“Great job, Brian!”

Locke couldn’t help but praise him. He was able to find out Sophia Chen’s whereabouts in such a short time. He had to say it was awesome.

Brian Smith looked at Madeline Hill and said, “The captain thought the owner of the villa was the most suspicious, so we quickly locked Sophia Chen…”

“Brian…”

Madeline Hill interrupted him, “You and Thaddeus go contact Harry and ask them if the arrest is going smoothly…”

Seeing Brian Smith and Thaddeus Martin both took out their phones to make calls, she said, “Tim McKenney’s address is the closest, and you have the help of the Wilshire Police Department, so your arrest should be the fastest, so I only notified you…”

Locke took a look at the villa and said, “It seems that there is no extradition agreement between China and the United States!”

The murderer of this case is already very obvious, and it is most likely Sophia Chen.

Madeline Hill looked a little gloomy. She knew this, so she asked, “Why do you think Sophia Chen killed Christian Roldan?”

Locke shrugged and said, “Based on the time and motivation, I think it is likely that Sophia Chen found out that Christian Roldan was cheating on her, so she got angry…”

The consulate collected information from Chinese students over the weekend, and more than a dozen victims were called to the police station to record their statements yesterday.

They must have communicated with each other, and the information of the five gigolos should have been screened out by them, and the news should have spread among the students.

Sophia Chen also received the information and found out that her true love was a liar, so she got angry and quarreled with Christian Roldan…

Locke’s reasoning about the case flashed through his mind, but he still needed to go to the scene to know whether the murderer was Sophia Chen!

He asked, “Are there any signs of fighting in the room?”

Madeline Hill recalled, “It seems not…”

At this time, Jane Horvath appeared at the door of the villa. Locke was a little surprised. Didn’t the two women have a falling out?

Jane Horvath had taken off her mask and gloves, “Captain Hill, Inspector Locke, we are done, you can come in!”

Hearing this official address, Locke wanted to laugh for some reason and looked at Madeline Hill.

Madeline Hill’s face did not fluctuate at all. She glanced at Locke coldly and walked towards the villa.

Locke curiously looked around the two people, but didn’t see anything. He couldn’t help but complain in his heart, are these two reallyIs it over?

After putting on gloves and shoe covers at the door, Locke followed Madeline Hill into the villa.

Jane Horvath introduced: “The time of death of the deceased was about 16 to 17 hours. The cause of death was excessive blood loss due to heart damage. There was no sign of fighting at the scene. The murder weapon was a kitchen knife, 10 inches (25.4 cm) long and 3.8 cm wide. The murderer’s fingerprints were left on the murder weapon…”

“We used fluorescent lights to find blood stains in the wash basin and bathtub in the bedroom. After the murderer killed the person, he washed the blood on his hands and took a bath…”

“We have extracted fingerprints from the murder weapon. In addition to the victim’s traces, there were also traces of a woman in the room. We collected some hair in the bedroom and bathroom…”

“Before the victim died, he had sex, and there were traces left on his body…”

“…”

Locke turned around Christian Roldan’s body. This handsome Spanish guy had the highest appearance among the five sons-in-law. He was lying naked on the bed with a painful expression on his face.

The whole bed was soaked in blood. The mattress was a high-end product, but the blood did not penetrate.

The scene looked very beautiful, with a handsome naked corpse, white sheets, and dark red blood, just like a Renaissance oil painting.

The murder weapon in the chest had been pulled out, and a trickle of blood was coming out of the wound.

Locke did not check the body. The case was already very clear, and there was no need to do anything extra.

He asked: “Are there any electronic devices in the room? Mobile phones, tablets, computers…”

Jane Horvath shook her head and said: “No…”

Locke raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised. He met Chinese female students these two days. Except for Linda Wang, the others were the type of clear and stupid.

I didn’t expect that Sophia Chen was so smart. A lot of information in the electronic equipment could be used as evidence.

After killing someone, she immediately thought of escaping back to China, and also cleaned the traces on her body and took away all the electronic terminal devices.

Locke suddenly had an idea that she should have disposed of the murder weapon as well.

Because all international students were fingerprinted when they entered the country.

As long as Sophia Chen’s fingerprints match the fingerprints on the murder weapon, she will be the biggest suspect.

Moreover, she has absconded.
