Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 124 Trading

  Redu Community.

  Luke slept until twelve noon.

  My brain is still a little dizzy, I didn't sleep at night, even if I catch up on sleep during the day, I still feel very uncomfortable.

  I feel refreshed after washing my face.

  He was too lazy to cook, so he ran to the restaurant in the community square to eat.

  The name of the restaurant is Home Cooking.

  Luke ordered a dish of boiled beef, a dish of fried shrimp with cucumber, and two bowls of rice.

   Two dishes, one light and the other heavy, taste very refreshing.

  After dinner, drive to work.

  Although the perjury case has been clarified, the murderer who killed Abu Guerra has not yet been caught, and the senior officials of the city bureau are still pressing hard.

  Luke arrived at the police station, except for Xiao Hei, everyone else was there.

  As David said, only Luke and Xiao Hei like to fish in the team, but the two were assigned to a group.

  Luke brought David and Raymond a beef hamburger set meal each. He, Raymond, Jenny, and Susan didn't get off work, and they almost kept going.

it is really hard.

  David took a big sip of coffee first, then raised his chin at Xiao Hei's table, "This kid needs to be supervised, and he's just working to catch fish. If no one cares about him, he will soon be late and leave early."

   "Am I eligible?" Luke shrugged.

  In terms of position, Luke is indeed qualified to supervise Xiao Hei now, but he doesn't want to take care of it.

  If Susan really wanted to find someone to take care of Xiao Hei, she wouldn't arrange it under her own hands.

  The deputy team, David, and Raymond are all much stricter than him.

  David shook his head, "That's right, you are as unreliable as him, maybe you will be the first to arrive late and leave early."

   "Who's right?" Luke smiled.

   In the future, Luke will really become a detective, so arriving late and leaving early will not be a problem.

  Of course, he doesn't have that capital yet.

  At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone arrived.

  Susan calls a meeting.

  Jenny said, "The parents of the deceased rushed to the police station this morning. I took the parents of the deceased to identify the body and made a record for them.

  According to the parents of the deceased, Abu Guerra had a star dream since he was a child.

  At the age of twenty, I came to Hollywood, hoping to achieve a career.

  He has a good appearance, but his star journey is not very smooth, and he has never had a good opportunity.

  Because he looks very similar to Lucas, he became Lucas' stand-in. He thinks that this way he can get in touch with the high-level crew and maybe get more acting opportunities.

  According to his parents, Abu Guerra cherishes this opportunity very much, and he expects it to be a new starting point for his star journey.

   But unfortunately, his dream did not come true. "

  Raymond went on to say, "After being convicted of perjury, Rosie Bill, Bell Grew, and Enoch Soest also underwent a physical examination, and no tooth marks of the murderer were found on their bodies.

   Temporarily, they can be ruled out as the suspects who killed Abu Guerra. "

  Luke made a simple record in his notebook, "It seems that I have rested for a few hours, and you have done a lot."

"And I."

  Matthew also attended the meeting, raised his hand and said, "I found out that Abu Guerra was suspected of fraud, but in the end he reached a settlement with the victim and was not prosecuted and imprisoned.

  The victim is Connor Simon, a native of Los Angeles. "

  Susan directly arranged the task, "Luke, Marcus, you two go to talk to Connor Simon.

  Deputy team, Raymond, David, Jenny, talk to the crew to confirm the deceased's trajectory and see who he had contact with. "

   "Yes, captain."

  …

  Saint Moni Beach.

  This is one of the famous scenic spots in Los Angeles. The scenery is beautiful, with blue sky, soft sand, and seagulls passing by from low altitude.

  There is also a small playground not far away, with a small roller coaster and a Ferris wheel.

  Roller coasters are fine, if you ride the Ferris wheel in this place, the scenery must be beautiful.

  Luke fell in love with this place the first time he saw it.

  Speaking of which, apart from the last time he took a boat trip with Daisy, he hasn't had a good time in Los Angeles yet.

  He likes the sea and the beach very much, and envies people who can lie on the beach and bask in the sun.

  The scenery is beautiful, and the people are also beautiful.

  Luke took off his sunglasses and glanced at the beach, "Are you sure the fraud victim, Connor Simon, is here?"

  Xiao Hei stared wide-eyed, and glanced at the bikini girl, "Is it still important?"

   "Then let's look for it." Luke smiled.

  The two began to stroll on the beach, from the west side of the beach to the east side of the coast, walking and looking at each other for about 20 minutes.

  Luke glanced at his watch, "Call her and confirm the location."

  Xiao Hei took out his mobile phone and called Connor Simon, and said, "I asked, she has long blonde hair, wears a blue bikini, and is about 30 years old... Wow, I have little expectations."

  The two started strolling again, looking for a blonde girl in a blue bikini.

   Searched all over, and finally locked on the suspected Connor Simon.

   Blonde hair and bikini are all in line, but the age and weight exceed the expectations of the two.

   Not far away, there was a blanket spread on the beach, on which lay a middle-aged woman who was about 175cm tall and weighed at least 200 kilograms.

  Lu Ke raised his chin, motioning for Xiao Hei to come forward and ask.

  Xiao Hei took a deep breath, "Hi, is this Ms. Connor Simon?"

  The woman glanced up, then sat up slowly, layers of flesh piled together, "You are Detective Marcus."

  Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, and then slowly said, "It's me, this is Detective Luke. We want to ask you to learn about Abu Guerra."

  Connor Simon took a sip of the drink next to him, "Abu Guerra, I still remember, how is he recently?"

   "He's not very good."

  Connor Simon pouted, "He cheated again?"

"he died."

"Really?"

   "Of course, this is also the purpose of our coming."

   "I bought Karma, it's a pity. To be honest, I still miss him."

   "Is it irony?"

"Sincere."

   "Did you forgive him?"

   "Of course, everyone makes mistakes, and so do I, as long as the other person is willing to change.

  I think he should be given a chance, a little more tolerance, the world will be more lovely. "

  Marcus nodded, and suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was quite kind, and he liked her a little more.

  Connor Simon looked at Xiao Hei, then at Luke, "What do you want me for? Don't you think I killed him?"

   "No, we just want to know some cases about his alleged fraud."

   "It happened a long time ago, probably more than a year." Connor Simon thought for a while and continued, "At that time, I just passed my 35th birthday, and suddenly felt... I didn't seem to be young anymore.

  I'm a little anxious, a little unhappy...and I don't really want to chat with friends. Sometimes it's hard to open up with people who are too familiar. You should understand.

  So, I chatted with friends on the Internet and found an interesting person whose avatar resembled Lucas, super handsome, and I was immediately fascinated by him.

  I like the Brazilian lover starring Lucas very much. He is his little fan, so I started chatting with him and wanted to get to know him.

   After chatting with him a few times, I feel that he is not bad.

  We met in reality.

  Wow, he really looks like Lucas himself, especially at night, his profile is super handsome.

I really like him.

   But I'm a little scared to meet him, you know... I'm a little... plump.

   But he didn't mind, the two of us had a great time meeting, eating and chatting together.

   During that time, I felt very happy and felt like I was in a dream.

   Not long after, he began to borrow money from me for various reasons.

  At the beginning I complied with his request, but then he was a bit outrageous. I could feel that he was becoming more and more perfunctory to me, and the purpose of meeting was to borrow money.

   I just like him, not stupid.

   Later... I called the police. "

  Luke asked, "Does he have any accomplices?"

"I have not seen."

   "Does he have any enemies?"

  Connor Simon shook her head, "I don't even know which sentence he said is true and which sentence is false. Unfortunately, I may not be able to help you."

  Xiao Hei is a bit worthless for Connor Simon. Although he is a scumbag, he never cheats women for money.

   "Why are you willing to settle with him?"

  Connor Simon smiled, "You really want to know."

"certainly."

   "We did."

"What's the meaning?"

   "Exactly what you think, 3 times."

   "We have known each other for two months and have met many times, but his purpose is to cheat money, he doesn't like me at all, and he has never been too intimate.

   But in order to reach a settlement, he offered to be with me…

  I... just agreed. "

  Xiao Hei pursed his lips and nodded, feeling that his conclusion just now was a bit early.

  Connor Simon seemed to be nostalgic, and said with a smile, "I still remember that night, the light was a little dark, he really looks like Lucas.

  One time, I imagined him as Lucas, and…”

  Luke interrupted, "That's enough, you don't have to talk anymore. It should be a good time for the two of you, and you don't need to share it with others."

"You are right, even though he died, I will always remember that night. I really like him. If he chose to be with me at that time, even if I knew he didn't like me and knew he was doing it for money, I would Also willing.

  Perhaps, he won't die. "Connor Simon was a little sad, "Can I ask how he died?" "

   "Sorry, it's inconvenient to disclose the specific details."

  Luke asked a few more questions before leaving the beach.

  Xiao Hei was a little emotional, "I really didn't expect to reach a settlement in this way, Abu Guerra is also a ruthless person."

  Luke's focus is not on this, but the experience of Abu Guerra's deception.

  Human nature is greedy, and many scammers have tasted the sweetness, and it is difficult to stop.

  Abu Guerra is likely to cheat again, and Connor Simon will forgive him, but it does not mean that other victims will forgive him.

  Go back to the police station.

  Luke found Matthew and asked him to investigate Abu Guerra's communication and network records, and he might be able to find clues about the murder.

   "Crackling..."

   Just then, the door of the office opened.

  Director Rhett walked in, "Everyone, I have something to do, and I want to take a few minutes of your time."

  The deputy team complained, "Red, don't even think about making us work overtime, no amount of overtime pay is possible."

   "I know everyone has worked hard these two days. I didn't come here for this matter." Reid spread his hands and continued, "Rosie Bill, the producer of the movie Gone Girl, has been released on bail."

   "Fuck! I knew it would happen." The deputy team dissatisfied.

  Jenny asked, "Perjury is a felony. Even if you are released on bail, the speed is too fast."

  The deputy team sighed, "This is America, this is the power of capital, I have seen too many similar things in my life."

  Red explained, “Hey, don’t be so extreme.

  Rosie Bill was indeed an insider of the crime of perjury, but he was only an accomplice, acquiescing to the behavior of the Lucas couple, and did not participate too much in the case. "

   "Why are you speaking for him?" the deputy team complained.

  Rett took a deep breath, "Is it that obvious?"

  The deputy captain pouted, "I know you too well."

Rhett glanced at the door, "If that's the case, then I'll talk about it. Rosie Bill is willing to donate US$1.5 million to the police department, of which US$300,000 will be used as a reward for solving the murder of Abu Guerra. "

  Xiao Hei showed a look of expectation, "Is the 300,000 bonus for us?"

  Rett nodded, "You should also know that Rosie Bill is not deeply involved in the case. If we continue to investigate, it will indeed bring him some trouble, and the result will be to increase the bail amount.

   Instead of making him take more money to pay bail, he might as well donate it to the police department. What do you think? "

  Luke nodded, "It's convenient for others."

  Rett snapped his fingers, "That's right, that's what it means."

  Xiao Hei smiled, "I think it's not bad, Rossi has money, and he donated part of it to the police department.

  It can make the police department better serve the citizens, which is a win-win situation.

why not? "

  No one else spoke.

  Under the premise of complying with the law, the police department has a certain degree of controllability in the investigation of the case. As long as they are willing, they can provide Rossi with some convenience.

   It's kind of like the police version of plea bargaining, only more cryptic.

   It's not illegal.

   In the absence of enmity with each other.

  Who would have trouble with bonuses?

  …

after get off work.

  Luke didn't come home right away. He slept until twelve o'clock at noon, and now he can't sleep when he goes back.

   Daisy worked overtime today, and Luke didn't really want to stay at home alone.

   Simply ran to the club to practice shooting.

  In the words of Raymond, hitting a fixed target cannot make your marksmanship more refined, but it can allow you to maintain your marksmanship proficiency.

   To put it bluntly, this thing is like martial arts, you have to practice every day.

  Luke accepted his opinion very humbly, and decided to often hit two targets after get off work, that is, a few minutes of work, and it will not affect other things.

   "Dingling..." Luke's cell phone rang, and it was from Xiao Hei.

"What's wrong?"

   "I have good news for you."

   "Have you caught the murderer of Abu Guerra?"

   "No, but I found your little one."

   "What disgusting tone is that, I want to beat you up."

   "There are a lot of people who want to beat me up. It is estimated that they can line up from Los Angeles to New York City. Do you want to join?"

   "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

   "I found Harley."

  Luke held the gun in his right hand and fired at the target. After emptying the magazine, he asked, "Where is it?"

   "You have to promise me a condition before I tell you."

   "What condition?"

   "I'll help you get it back, but you have to lend it to me once in a while."

   "My car is not available for loan."

   "Then you just wait for that rookie patrolman, maybe he can surprise you for Christmas." Xiao Hei said with a smirk.

   "Fuck!" Luke sighed and compromised, "I can lend it to you, but if I don't need it."

"make a deal."
