Los Angeles Detective

"You are the police, not here to buy a car.

Sure enough, I can't believe what a man says, I never thought I would be deceived by a man at this age. "The black proprietress Lilith's voice became sharper, as if to remind others that the police were coming.

This nonsense tone made Xiao Hei a little annoyed, and warned, "Don't change the subject, let alone play tricks, where is the car?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. I've said it before. I don't have a similar car here. You can go to other car dealers." Lilith put on a look of closing the door to see off customers.

"You think we're here to drop by?

We've done a thorough investigation before we came here. That dark blue Cayenne is here with you. Hand over the car, and we'll help you get a favorable plea agreement.

This is good for everyone, otherwise, things will be bad for you. "

The black proprietress Lilith seemed to have been greatly wronged, "Sir, I respect the police, but I don't like being threatened.

We're in legitimate business, you can't scare me. "

When other employees of the dealership heard the movement, they also gathered around, stood behind Lilith, and expressed their support for her with practical actions, looking at Luke and Xiao Hei with guarded and angry eyes.

"Wow, wow... so many people."

Xiao Hei took two steps back, keeping a certain distance from the surrounding employees, and at the same time glanced at everyone, staring at them fiercely, "What do you want to do? Attack the police because of the number of people?"

Lilith said, "We didn't mean that."

Xiao Hei curled his lips, "But you have this kind of action, and I know the reason why you did it is to deliberately delay the time and want to hide that car."

Lilith curled her lips, seeing what can happen, there are only two of you.

Xiao Hei suddenly took out a pistol from his waist, startling the employees of the car dealership, and they all backed away.

"Bang!" Xiao Hei fired a shot into the sky.

"Ah!" Several car dealer employees were so frightened that they lay on the ground.

Lilith showed an angry look, "What do you mean? Threatening me?" Lilith raised her hands, "Just because we didn't cooperate, you are going to shoot and kill?"

Luke was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Hei to be so stubborn. This doesn't seem like his style of doing things.

David possessed?

However, since it was done, Luke had to support him, with his right hand on the gun, and his eyes scanned the people present.

If anyone makes any changes, the next shot will not be aimed at the sky.

"Woooo..."

At this time, sirens sounded around, and several police cars stopped at the door of the garage.

Heavily armed officers stepped out of their cars, pointed guns at people in the garage, and yelled, "lapd!"

"Everyone stay still, raise your hands!"

"God, what are you doing!" Lilith was a little crazy, she was also watching people order dishes, and she was just arguing, why did she suddenly turn her face?

"I gave you a chance to choose just now." Xiao Hei waved his hand and shouted, "I received news that this dealership has hidden a stolen car.

Bring everyone here back for questioning. "

"Yes, sir."

At the order of Inspector Marcus, the police officers handcuffed everyone in the dealership.

Lilith's lips trembled slightly, she didn't know if she was angry or scared, "You don't have to do this, just take me alone...I can tell you where that car is."

"That's not necessary anymore." Xiao Hei pointed to the employees behind, "All of them can tell me."

Lilith demanded, "Hey, why did you do this to me? Did I offend you?"

"My name is not Hey, my name is Inspector Marcus, remember this name, understand?"

Lilith hesitated, "Inspector Marcus, I was wrong.

I'll tell you where that car is right now, don't grab my employees, they don't know anything. "

Marcus walked up to her and whispered, "I don't want to be so troublesome, but this time I'm lenient with you, and someone will despise me next time.

I hope that through this incident, everyone will remember Inspector Marcus. "

With Xiao Hei's order, everyone in the car dealership was taken into a police car, and the car dealership was also closed.

Luke smiled, "Inspector Marcus, you are quite impressive."

Xiao Hei breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed his wet palms, "It's just a fox pretending to be a tiger, and I have to rely on you to support me."

Luke said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Are you trying to use this incident to make yourself famous?"

Xiao Hei sat in front of a car, with his hands on his lap, "We were originally a pair of golden partners.

But you have been growing up, constantly learning various criminal investigation skills, and your position is getting higher and higher. Inspector, deputy team leader, and captain.

I... don't want to hold back.

I also want to grow, and I know that my other abilities are not strong.

Then simply do what you are good at. "

"Do you have a goal?"

"Yeah, I wish the whole L.A. gang had heard about Detective Marcus instead of treating me like nobody, ignored by an arrogant fat woman."

"Good idea."

"Will you support me?" Xiao Hei also made a lot of determination before making this decision. He hoped to expand his influence in the gang through this matter.

Before, Xiao Hei also had many informants in the gang, but he maintained these relationships not because of his high status in the police station, but because he grew up in a black slum and was familiar with the rules of the gang. Most of his teenage playmates joined After leaving the gang, those who are still alive have become the middle force of the gang.

With these connections, Xiao Hei also has good ears and eyes in the gang, but it's really hard to say how high his status is.

He used to be a police detective, and he had just been promoted to inspector. He didn't have a good reputation, and there were many people in the gang who didn't sell his face, and many people had never heard of him.

"You can try it, but be careful."

"Don't worry, I'm more cowardly than you think."

Just like what Xiao Hei said, this time not one or two people were arrested, but everyone in the car dealership was arrested. If you don’t say it, he doesn’t say it, someone will say it, and the tacit understanding between them has long since collapsed.

Everyone hopes to get a favorable plea deal through meritorious service.

The men not only revealed where the Porsche Cayenne was stashed, but many other crimes as well.

After this time, Inspector Marcus gained fame in the whole stolen car market.

This is also a good thing for Luke. Xiao Hei has a progressive idea and is working hard in this direction. The greater his influence in the Los Angeles gang, the greater the help for Luke.

Under the confession of the employees of the car dealership, the police quickly found the place where the stolen car was hidden.

The backyard of the car dealership is closed, and there is a row of garages used to store stolen cars that have not been modified.

The Porsche Cayenne is hidden in the first garage on the east side. The car was collected yesterday and has not been modified in time.

Luke opened the car to check. The interior of the car was gorgeous, but no driving recorder was found, and the mat in the trunk of the car was missing.

Luke felt that something was wrong, and asked someone to bring the luminol reagent, spray it on the trunk, close the garage door, and the edge of the trunk glowed blue-purple under the light.

There are bloodstains. As for whether it is the bloodstain of the deceased Ariel Gray, we will not know until it is identified.

Luke continued to search the condition of the car. There was a lot of bird droppings on the roof and front windshield, scratches on the sides of the car, and black dirt on the tires.

The traces on these cars can prove where the car has been and what it has experienced.

By questioning the employees of the second-hand car dealership, the police found the person who sold the stolen car.

According to him, the car was not stolen but 'picked up'.

The place where the car was picked up was located in a bush near Bruce Boulevard in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

Luke and Xiao Hei drove to Bruce Avenue, found the place to pick up the car, and then searched around the woods, but found no valuable clues.

For this, Luke had already expected that as long as the murderer was not stupid, he would not abandon the vehicle at the place where the body was dumped.

Then Luke thought about the bird poop on the roof of the Cayenne and the black dirt on the tires.

There were two spots of bird droppings on the roof, which suggested the car had been sitting there for a while, but Luke found no birds around the undergrowth.

It is likely that the car had been parked elsewhere, and that may well have been where the body was dumped.

There is also the black soil on the tires, which is also different from the soil around the undergrowth. Most of the soil in Los Angeles is yellow soil or gray. Black soil is not common, and some rock particles should be mixed in the black soil composition.

Summing up many clues, Luke had an idea in his mind, and then Luke contacted Matthew to ask him to help find the place where the body was dumped.

First of all, bird experts are asked to distinguish the species of birds through bird droppings, so as to find out the habitat distribution area of ​​these birds;

Second, find places with black soil, this Cayenne should have been there.

Another point is that since we know the location of Gray's vacation home and the location of the abandoned car, the location of the body dumping should be related to these two locations, and the location of the body dumping is probably between the two.

Summarizing all the clues, the places that meet the conditions are likely to be the places where the corpses are dumped.

In addition, you can also use road monitoring to check for car traces.

After multiple investigations by the police, the location of the abandoned corpse was gradually determined.

First of all, the diameter of Gray's vacation home and the abandoned car location is used as the diameter, and the surrounding area is used as the key investigation area.

According to the identification of bird experts, the guano on the roof belongs to the black phoebe flycatcher, which is a relatively common bird in California. Its round body is very cute, and there are many habitats in Los Angeles.

Secondly, find out the area with black soil, and add up these three conditions, the overlapping area is likely to be the place where the corpse is dumped.

After the screening of these three conditions, a total of two general areas that meet the conditions were found.

Luke asked people to check the road surveillance in these two areas, and found a dark blue Porsche had stayed in one of the areas.

The area of ​​this area is not small, and it is not easy to find the corpse. Luke immediately applied for a tracking dog.

This is a bloodhound with long big ears, a long tongue sticking out, a thick neck, and black and yellow fur. It looks naive, more like a well-behaved pet dog.

Luke found the clothes of the deceased Ariel Gray, and let the bloodhound sniff them as a source of smell. Following the dog handler's order, the bloodhound started to run with small steps.

The bloodhound has entered the working state, and the dog's face is a little more serious, with a bit of police dog temperament.

Luke and his party also followed behind the police dogs.

Led by the Bloodhound, the group left the road and entered a wasteland. After walking a few hundred meters, they entered the Gobi Desert.

Luke squatted down and found that the dirt in this area was indeed black, very similar to the dirt found on Porsche tires.

The bloodhound was still running forward, and Luke and the others were afraid of affecting the tracking of the police dogs, so they didn't dare to get too close, so they followed at a moderate distance.

After a while, the Bloodhound stopped and turned around on the spot. It seemed to be turning a little bit. The dog handler took out Ariel Gray's clothes again and let him sniff them. With an order, the Bloodhound went again ran forward.

After running for another half a mile, the bloodhound stopped and barked at the dog handler a few times, "Wow..."

The two front paws scratched the black soil on the ground.

The dog handler gave an order, motioned for the bloodhound to stop, and shouted to the people behind him, "Suspected to find the target."

Hearing this sentence, everyone was a little excited and wanted to take a closer look.

Luke stopped the crowd and told them to wait in place to avoid damaging the scene due to crowds.

Luke went up to check alone, and saw tire and shoe prints around the Bloodhound.

Luke glanced around, normal people would not come to such a desolate place.

Luke called Jackson and Potter to dig up the spot marked by the Bloodhound.

The two dug very quickly, and dug a 34 cm deep pit in a short while.

Seeing the ease with which the two dug, indicating that the soil was loose, Luke felt more and more that something might be buried underneath.

I don't know if it's from his heart, but he vaguely felt a bad smell.

Jackson's shovel was inserted down, but did not move. He used the shovel to poke away the soil on the surface, "Captain, we found something below."

"Dig out."

The two continued to dig, and quickly dug out a black mat that looked like a mat from the trunk of a Porsche car, with some small red spots still vaguely stained.

Potter put on his gloves and pulled the black cushion away, suddenly a corpse smell came to his nostrils.

Luke couldn't help but step back and put on the mask.

Jackson took a step back, coughing due to the stench of corpses, his stomach churned and heaved, and he almost vomited.

After a while, after the stench dissipated, Luke came closer to check. A corpse was exposed in a big pit, and the corpse had already begun to decompose. He was wearing a dark blue home clothes, and he could vaguely identify it as a male.

Luke walked aside and told Xiao Hei, "Notify the technical team and the forensic doctor."

"Yes, sir."

Judging from the existing evidence, this corpse should be Ariel Gray.

This is consistent with his previous guess.

The murderer is likely to be his wife, Mrs. Gray.

In order to convict Mrs. Gray, the corpse alone is not enough, evidence of her murder must also be found.

Afterwards, Luke took people to search the surrounding area carefully...
