Los Angeles Detective

Josie's mother wiped the tears from her face, "Detective, did he kill my daughter?"

"We can't judge based on the information alone. We still need to investigate further. Can you tell me more about Josie? The more the police know about her, the easier it is to find clues to the murderer."

"Let me tell." Josie's father patted his wife on the shoulder and said after a while,

"My daughter is excellent and great. She has been like this since she was a child. We didn't deliberately cultivate her. She has this talent.

You know how hard it is to be a cheerleader, and it was even harder for Josie, most cheerleaders are white, blond, and Josie is black, and it took a lot of hard work to get there.

We all saw it and supported her all the time.

She did it.

But I didn't expect the accident to come so suddenly...never thought of it. "Josie's father's voice choked.

Luke took advantage of the situation and asked, "Josie is so good, there should be many people chasing her, does she have a boyfriend?"

Josie's mother replied, "I know more about this, and Josie will tell me everything about relationships.

Josie had a boyfriend named Pete before, I met him once, he was very handsome.

But Josie was too good, and there were many people who pursued her. The young man was not confident enough, and often quarreled with Josie's suitors, and they broke up. "

"Is he a student of this school?"

"It does not seem."

"Do you know the full name?"

"Josie mentioned it to me, but... I can't remember."

"This information is very important, I hope you will recall it carefully."

Josie's mother pressed her forehead, then grabbed her hair hard, and thought for a while, "Sorry, I really can't remember, my damn memory, why is it like this,

Will I affect the investigation of the case... I bought Karma, I am so useless. "

Josie's father took his wife into his arms, kissed her forehead, and comforted, "Baby, don't say that about yourself, you are just too sad." He looked at Luke aside, "Detective, can you give us some more time?" ? When I go back, I will help her remember together."

"Of course." Luke nodded and asked, "By the way, is there any other reason for the breakup between them, such as a third party?"

Josie's mother shook her head, "Not as far as I know."

Luke took out a few more photos of the other dead, "I want to ask you to help identify them, do you know the people in the photos?"

Josie's parents carefully examine the photos.

After reading the photos, Josie's mother pointed to the first female victim who was shot, "I know her, Barbara, she is Josie's friend, they are often together, is she dead too?"

"Seriously injured, still in the intensive care unit."

"Damn it, it's terrible! They are still young, why did this happen to them." Josie's mother cried again, while her husband comforted her.

Luke handed over a pack of tissues. Barbara was the first victim to be shot, and Josie was the second to be shot. Since they are friends, they probably have some connection.

The gunman's purpose of committing the crime cannot be determined. The main reason is that there are too many victims, and there is more than one gunman. There are many and complicated clues. If all the clues can be screened and connected in series, the reason for the gunman's crime may be found.

Just like the two victims, Josie and Barbara.

The two were friends, one was shot in the corridor on the third floor, and the other was shot in the toilet on the third floor. The murderer obviously knew about their relationship.

As for the reason for killing them, it is still unclear.

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

"I don't know, was he shot?"

"It's inconvenient to disclose this." Luke asked a few more questions about Josie, and then left the lounge.

...

After one o'clock in the afternoon.

bobo Mexican restaurant.

This restaurant is small in size, about 20 square meters. There are small tables for two people in the restaurant, and there is only one kind of food in the restaurant, giant burritos.

The person who cooks is a Mexican aunt, not tall and very fat.

She operates on a huge iron plate, and spreads oval-shaped pancakes on the pan, and puts them full of cheese, minced pork, minced chicken, minced onions, etc., rolls up the pancakes and puts them aside for frying .

Luke stood by and watched for a while, "You drive this far and buy me this."

"This is super delicious, I have to eat it once a month, it's super good, trust me." Xiao Hei said very sincerely.

Luke believed it a little at first, but saw that Xiao Hei ordered two giant burritos and paid seven dollars at the checkout.

Are you sure it's not because it's cheap?

The two sat at a small square table, and Xiao Hei was still describing the deliciousness of the giant burrito, "You know what? I took Julian to eat last time, she loved it so much, she ate it all over her face, with a little flower It's like a cat, it's ridiculous."

Luke didn't bother to pay attention to him. Those who knew it were introducing burritos, but those who didn't know thought he was showing affection?

But Luke does prefer Mexican food to fried chicken burgers.

Can the flatbread meat be delicious?

Soon, the giant burrito arrived. It was really big, 50 centimeters long, palm-width, and full of ingredients. The boss helped to cut a knife from the middle.

It looked very appetizing. Luke was already hungry. He swallowed and took a big bite. It was really delicious and satisfying.

"Isn't it delicious?" Xiao Hei said vaguely.

Luke has a thumbs up. The taste is not good, but the meat filling is too much and easy to fall off, and the taste is not very good.

Xiao Hei asked, "When will you invite me to dinner?"

"Wait until you catch me." Luke took a sip of Coke, and it only cost three and a half dollars, and he was ashamed to ask me to return the invitation. What was he thinking?

"Dinglingling..." Xiao Hei's phone rang with a voice and video.

Xiao Hei wiped his hands and turned on the phone, "Hey, baby, have you eaten yet?

Yes, I ate at that Mexican restaurant last time.

NONO, I'm at work, eating with Inspector Luke, he likes it so much, cheese is all over his face.

Hey man, say hello to Julian. "

Luke squeezed out a smile, waved at the video, and continued to eat with his head down.

After chatting for a few words, Xiao Hei hung up, "She is good at everything, but she is too clingy."

Luke laughed, "Is she playing video now?"

"That's right, I don't know who she learned from, isn't it super scary?" Xiao Hei sighed.

Luke suddenly had a feeling that he might get the thousand dollars he bet last time...

After the meal, the two went to Theodore Cain's house to investigate.

The two drove to find the address on the file.

This is a typical black community. The two parked their car in front of a dilapidated bungalow. Although Luke also lived in a bungalow, both the community and the house were much better than here.

After getting off the car, Luke observed the surrounding situation. There were many black people wandering around.

A black man looked at the car and Luke, and he stared back fiercely.

If someone dares to provoke, Luke will definitely draw his gun directly. If he wants to hang out in the black community, he has to be ruthless.

Of course, black people are not easy to scare, the premise is that you also have the capital to scare people.

Xiao Hei's performance is much more relaxed, he is like a fish in water here.

The two entered the yard of Theodore Cain's house. There was an old-fashioned Toyota car in front of the garage, a lot of crude fitness equipment and a broken inflatable doll by the wall.

Xiao Hei squeezed his eyes, "Luke, have you ever used this thing?"

"It's too narrow for me." Luke walked to the door and knocked on the door, "Boom."

"Who is outside?" A woman's voice came from inside the room.

"lapd, neighbors have reported noise in your home."

"Fuck, which bastard is so boring again, don't they play poker at night?" A woman said cursingly.

It was a black girl who opened the door, she was young, she looked about twenty years old, she was wearing suspender pajamas, and the two black semicircles were very eye-catching.

Xiao Hei smiled and asked, "Hi, beauty, is this Theodore Cain's house?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"We want to talk to him, by the way, who are you?"

"I'm his girlfriend, aren't you here to check the noise? What are you looking for?"

Luke flashed his badge, "lapd, we want to talk to him."

"he is not at home."

"Where is he?"

"I don't know, he's full of lies just like you lapds, who knows where he's hiding." After the woman finished speaking, she wanted to close the door.

Luke blocked the door, "What's your name?"

The black girl grinned, "Do you want to fuck me?"

"Don't smile with me, name?"

"You are here to find Theodore Caine, and have nothing to do with me? Why should I tell you..."

At this time, there was a noise from behind, and Luke and Xiao Hei went to the side to check, and found a man in a sweater and a hood slipping out from behind.

Xiao Hei shouted, "lapd, stop."

It's okay if you don't say anything, the man in the sweater ran away when the voice fell.

"Fuck!" Xiao Hei cursed, and quickly chased him out.

Luke turned his head to look at the black girl, and followed her out.

The man in the hoodie was very familiar with the surrounding situation, instead of taking the main road, he ran forward in a twisting manner, and even turned into other people's yards, attracting a lot of scolding.

Fortunately, Xiao Hei is familiar with the situation in the slums, so he followed closely.

The opponent just ran, and did not cause any danger to himself. Xiao Hei had no reason to draw his gun and shoot, it could only turn into a chase.

After running for about half a street, Xiao Hei's physical strength was even better, and he gradually caught up with the opponent, grabbed the sweater and pulled him to the ground.

Xiao Hei was also pulled to the ground due to inertia, and instinctively took out the pistol from the butt, "lapd, don't move!"

The man in the sweater who was dragged down saw the muzzle of the gun, but he didn't dare to resist. He lay down on the ground and raised his hand obediently, "Don't shoot, I didn't commit a crime, I'm not a bad person!"

Xiao Hei looked at the other party carefully, "Aren't you Theodore Cain?"

"You've got the wrong person, I'm not."

"Then why are you at his house?" Xiao Hei blinked, as if he understood something, and smiled, "You slept with his girlfriend?"

The man in the sweater cursed, "Shut your mouth, that's my sister."

"Then why are you running?"

Xiao Hei suddenly realized, "fuck, you deliberately distracted me!"

Xiao Hei was a little depressed, it was too late to go back now, so he handcuffed the man in the sweater first.

"Why did you arrest me?" the man in the sweater asked.

"Shut up, keep talking nonsense, and I'll sue you for assaulting the police." Xiao Hei stared at the man in the sweater, feeling a little upset.

This sweater man is not very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old, it is more appropriate to say that he is a teenager.

The boy was frightened by Xiao Hei, and he didn't dare to resist.

Xiao Hei took out his mobile phone and called Luke, but no one answered, and he felt a little anxious.

He could only walk back with the boy in the sweater.

When I got back to Theodore Cain, I found that Luke was also escorting a man over, "Hey, buddy, you also caught someone?"

Xiao Hei looked carefully, and the person Luke arrested was exactly what they wanted to find Theodore Caine.

"How did you catch him?" Xiao Hei was a little surprised, or it could be said to be pleasantly surprised.

A few minutes ago, the boy in the sweater suddenly ran out from the back door. Both of them thought he was Theodore Caine.

Xiao Hei was the first to chase him out.

Luke glanced back at Theodore Cain's girlfriend, and found that the corners of the other's mouth were slightly raised, and his expression was not obvious, so it was easy to be ignored.

He was able to discover this because he had been exercising his observation skills recently, and his observation skills had improved a lot.

The two 'observation cards' drawn last time have been used up.

He felt something was wrong, his boyfriend was arrested, this woman can still laugh?

Moreover, they didn't go in to arrest anyone, so why did that kid run away by himself? It happened to be seen again, isn't it just looking for trouble?

Afterwards, Luke became more careful and ran to hide next to the house in front of him.

The black girl looked around at the door, and then Theodore Cain ran out of the house, and Luke followed from behind, capturing her in one fell swoop.

After hearing this, Xiao Hei said shamelessly, "Good job, we cooperated very well, golden partner."

At this moment, the black girl ran out and asked, "Hey, why did you arrest my brother and boyfriend?"

Xiao Hei said angrily, "I still have a handcuff, do you want to try it?"

"Fuck, you know the bastard who bullies women." The black girl gave her middle finger.

Luke pointed at the house, "Leave immediately and don't make trouble."

The black girl looked at her boyfriend and then at her younger brother, she seemed to have gotten used to it and wasn't too worried.

"You better have a reasonable reason to arrest people, otherwise, I will sue you." After finishing speaking, the black girl went back to the house.

Luke ordered to Xiao Hei, "Check to see if the kid you caught is a fugitive."

"I will." Xiao Hei asked the other party's name, checked the other party's fingerprints, and said after a while, "He has a history of theft, but there is no case now."

"Tell him to fuck off."

Xiao Hei will uncuff the handcuffs, "Don't let me see you again, huh?"

"Think I want to see you?" The boy in the sweater curled his lips, glanced at Theodore Cain, and returned to the house.

Luke showed a smile, "Theodore Cain is the only three of us left now, how about we have a good chat?"

"I have nothing to talk to you about." Theodore shrugged.

Xiao Hei got into the car and said in a bad tone, "I feel like I'm being teased and I'm very angry. You'd better be smart."

"Sorry, I'm afraid I've disappointed you. I was not smart since I was a child, otherwise I wouldn't have dropped out of school. By the way, is it illegal to be not smart now?"

Luke said, "It doesn't matter if you're not smart, but it's definitely against the law to kill someone?"

"I don't understand what you mean?"

"Do you know Josie Alisa?"

"do not know."

"Then we'll take you to the police station to recall."

"Wait, I know, so what?" Theodore seemed to react, "You mean she died?"

"you do not know?"

"How could I know that it has nothing to do with me?"

"It doesn't matter what are you running for?"

"I'm just exercising, yes, I run every day."

"It's afternoon."

"Oxygen is sufficient in the afternoon. My former biology teacher said that although I am not a good student, I can still remember some things occasionally."

"So you admit to knowing Josie?"

"Yes."

"What's your relationship?"

"It doesn't matter."

Luke quipped, "Is that all you miss about the police station? Is it the coffee at the police station, or the service?"

"Hehe." Theodore rolled his eyes, "I admit that I liked Josie before, she has a hot body, dances well, and is easy to move, but that is in the past, I have now New girlfriend, she's sexy too, isn't she?"

"No, Josie is more sexy." Xiao Hei retorted.

"I didn't ask you, nigger."

Xiao Hei was taken aback, "You are the nigger."

"You're a nigger."

"Your whole family are niggers."

"Stop!" Luke interrupted the meaningless argument between the two, "Where were you between three and four in the morning on May 10?"

"Hey, I've said it all, even if Josie dies, it has nothing to do with me."

"Have you ever assaulted and harassed Josie before?"

"That was all in the past."

"Yes or no?"

"have."

"That's enough, answer the question I just asked."

Theodore said helplessly, "I'm with Triss."

"Who is Triss?"

"It's the person who opened the door just now, my girlfriend."

"full name?"

"Tris Lear."

"You better not lie."

"I did not lie."

"Where are you? What were you doing?"

"Playing poker in the car."

Luke pointed at the old Toyota, "Is that the car?"

"That's right."

"You guys really have a lot of fun." The car was so low that Luke would poke his head in it, let alone play poker, and the glass was still transparent.

"OK, I've told you all, can you let me go?" Theodore raised the handcuffs on his hands.

Luke turned to the little underworld, "Call her girlfriend out."

"Wait, I have something to ask too."

Luke made a gesture of invitation, motioning for the other party to ask.

Xiao Hei cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Are you up or down?"

"What did you say?" Theodore thought he had heard wrong.

Xiao Heidao, "It's what you understand. I'm speaking to each other. If you say something different, it will prove that you are lying."

"I'm sitting."

"for how long?

Theodore looked at Luke aside, "Are you sure he's not harassing me?"

Luke spread his hands, "If you think it's private, you don't have to say it.

But if you want to prove your innocence as quickly as possible... it's up to you.

But you must not lie, if the confession is not correct, we will suspect that you are not present to prove the authenticity. "

Theodore "..."

How can you say such shameless words in a high-sounding way?

Under Xiao Hei's malicious gaze, Theodore still compromised, "About two or three minutes."

"Haha..." Xiao Hei laughed, "I suddenly hope that your alibi is true."

Luke laughed too.

Theodore's face was a little ugly, and he explained, "It's the first time I'm in the car... I'm a little excited, I'm not usually like this..."

Xiao Hei patted him on the shoulder, "No need to explain."
