Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 162 Marcus II

  The next morning.

  The meeting room of the No. 1 Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division.

  At 9:5 in the morning, Susan held a case summary meeting on time.

  Xiao Hei glanced around, "Where are Raymond and Jenny? Why aren't they here?"

  Susan said, "Are they going to track down the whereabouts of the murderer?"

   "Wow... what did I miss?" Xiao Hei was surprised.

  Last night, in order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Hei did not participate in the arrest and interrogation of Pali.

  Luke also did not participate in Pari's interrogation.

  Both of them are off work earlier.

   The deputy team and David are in charge of interrogating Pari.

   Raymond, Matthew, and Jenny are investigating the whereabouts of the murderer.

  Susan said, "Deputy team, tell me about the progress of yesterday's interrogation."

  The deputy captain cleared his throat and said, "We have reached a plea agreement with Pari Jones, waiving her charges for obstructing law enforcement, and only prosecuting her for the crime of acquiring stolen goods.

   In addition, she also promised not to investigate and report the murders related to Dracula's bar.

  Relevant evidence is also handed over to the police. "

  Xiao Hei spread his hands, "Is this the end?"

  The deputy team asked, "Then what are you going to do? Do you think you can send her to prison with a business card?

  Let’s be more realistic.

  Luke, you got the man, what do you think? "

   "I have no objection." Luke said lightly.

  The police investigation of Pari Jones was not to send her to prison, but to prove that she had violated the law in the interview and investigation of the Dracula bar murder case, which to a certain extent affected the police investigation.

  Then the police can logically confiscate the video that Pari Jones obtained illegally.

   To put it bluntly, I just don’t want the appalling vampire killings to appear in the news.

   Judging from the results, the police's goal has been achieved.

  Xiao Hei asked, "Does Pari Jones know that the business card is stolen?"

  The deputy team asked, "Will you print other people's business cards?"

   "Why should I print someone else's business card?"

  The deputy team said, "That's it. Since it belongs to the deceased's business card, it must have been obtained from the crime scene. As a reporter, how could she not understand such a simple truth.

  The police did not wrong him at all. "

  Little gangster, "What about the charge of obstructing law enforcement? Did Pari Jones warn Miguel not to send the video to the police?"

  The deputy team laughed, "You don't look very smart."

  Xiao Hei rolled his eyes, "You annoying old man."

  The deputy team asked back, "Why are you scolding me?"

   "You scolded me first."

  The deputy team said, "I'm just commenting on your appearance truthfully."

  Little underworld, "I think you are just scolding me."

  The deputy team snapped their fingers, "See, the same sentence, if understood from different angles, will have different meanings."

  The deputy team looked at Luke on the side and said the same thing, "You don't look very smart."

  Luke smiled, "Nobody here is smarter than me."

  The deputy team looked at Xiao Hei, "Say the same sentence to different people, but it has different effects.

  You are angry, Luke is indifferent.

  The same sentence can be said by one person, let alone two people insist on their own words. "

  The deputy shrugged and continued,

  "In the actual investigation, the suspect will try his best to give a confession that is beneficial to himself. If there is evidence, the evidence is naturally the main one, but some details are difficult to judge.

  Whoever cooperates with the police, the police will tend to accept whose confession.

  They were very smart, they all understood what I meant, and they all reached a plea agreement with the police.

   A plea deal that favors the police.

This is enough. "

  Susan clapped her hands, "Red will like your case-handling efficiency very much, and it will save the police a lot of overtime and funds." Then, Susan changed the subject, "Now let's talk about the murderer's clues."

  Matthew said, "After they went to the TV station to arrest people last night, Raymond and I began to check the surveillance of the murder case. The murderer kept his back to the driving recorder when he committed the crime.

  We investigated the surveillance in the bar lobby, but because of the light and shooting angle, the video was not very clear, and we could only see that the suspect was a white man.

   Identify from height, clothing, gestures, shoes.

  We check the surveillance around the bar.

  The murderer fled the scene directly after committing the crime, and it was discovered through roadside monitoring that he got into a taxi.

  Ramon and Jenny went to the taxi company to investigate the driver who was soliciting passengers nearby at that time, and I believe there will be news soon. "

  David said, "I have also seen the surveillance video of the murder. The murderer jumped out from the back door of the bar and threw himself on the victim. What was his motive for committing the crime?"

  Xiao Hei said, "Could it be a prank?"

  Luke thought for a while, and replied, "It shouldn't be a prank. Although the wound on the neck of the deceased was not fatal, it was not light, and a lot of blood flowed.

   This is no ordinary prank. "

  Xiao Hei brought up the old story again, "Could it really be..."

  Although Xiao Hei didn't say anything, everyone understood what he wanted to say.

  David disdainfully said, "bullshit, I don't believe in such ghosts."

   Luke said, "I heard that there is a vampire syndrome, also called porphyria.

   This is a hematologic disorder that manifests as photosensitive dermatitis, abdominal pain, and neuropsychiatric disturbance.

   This disease is most afraid of sunlight, and many patients often live in relatively dark places. "

  Xiao Hei widened his eyes and asked, "Does this kind of patient need to **** blood for treatment?"

Luke shook his head, "The main treatment for this disease is bloodletting, but with the severity of the disease, patients will develop psychological disorders and lead to mental abnormalities. They think that they must drink human blood before they can recover from this disease. , but in fact, human blood will not help the body in any way.

  It can only make their hearts more twisted, depressed, and desperate. "

  Xiao Hei made a bold guess, "In other words, this disease is likely to be the origin of vampires."

   "I think this explanation is more credible than vampires." The deputy team nodded and continued, "I suggest investigating people with related diseases, and maybe we can find some clues."

  Susan thought for a while and ordered, "Matthew, check the relevant situation."

"I see."

   "Buzz..." Susan's cell phone rang.

  Susan clicked on the voice video, "Raymond, how is your investigation going?"

  Raymond was sitting in the co-pilot of the car, "We found out the whereabouts of that 'vampire' at the taxi company, and at 9:35 p.m., the suspect boarded the car from Dracula's Bar.

  Around 9:50, get off at La Marymont University.

   This guy should be a student of the school. "

  Susan praised, "Good, you rush to the university to investigate now, and I will send someone to support you."

   "Yes, captain."

  …

  After the meeting ended, David and Xiao Hei also rushed to La Marymont University to support.

  Luke didn't go, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

  He didn't stay idle, he sat on a chair and silently sorted out the case, and made a criminal psychological profile for the suspect.

   Judging from the current situation of the case, the suspect is likely to be a passionate homicide.

  The preparation before committing the crime was not sufficient, which is why it was photographed by parked vehicles.

   But on the other hand, if the perpetrator of the crime of passion chooses the victim at random, the investigation will also increase a certain degree of difficulty.

   Regardless of what state the murderer was in before committing the crime, he should be in a relatively sober state after the murder, as can be seen from the fact that he ran away directly.

  If Luke is the murderer, he will not run directly back to his home or the place where he lives, but to a place where he can get out easily.

  University is a good choice. It has a large area and a large number of people. The sky is dark and it is easy to escape tracking after changing clothes.

   Here comes the problem.

  The suspect is really a student of La Marymount University, or did he deliberately lead the police there to interfere with the police's investigation.

  Luke couldn't tell.

   are possible.

  Since Lei Meng and others have already gone to the university to investigate, there is not much if there is one more, and a lot if there is one less.

  Luke simply investigated from other aspects.

   Continue to check the monitoring, but not the monitoring where the suspect escaped.

   Instead, investigate surveillance when the suspect comes to the bar.

  Since the suspect may have committed the crime with passion, it means that he probably would not have concealed his true whereabouts before coming to the bar.

  Then reverse investigation, Luke thinks this is more accurate.

  Dracula's bar opens at 8:00 p.m., Luke checks Dracula's surveillance around 8:00 p.m., looking for traces of the suspect.

  Although the surveillance cannot clearly see the appearance of the suspect,

   But it is not difficult to recognize based on clothing and body type.

  Luke started to check the monitoring, and time moved forward...

   Found the surveillance where the suspect appeared in the video for the first time. At 7:55 in the evening, the suspect appeared in the parking lot next to the bar.

  He was driving a black Honda sedan.

   The suspect has a car!

  This further confirms Luke's previous guess that the suspect should have a certain anti-reconnaissance awareness when he fled.

   Otherwise, it is more convenient for him to drive directly than to take a taxi.

   In other words, the real address of the suspect should not be La Marymont University.

   Subsequently, Luke found the high-definition photo of the car and found the license plate number.

   License plate number, 3teb384

  Name, Augustus Tokar

Sex: Male

   Date of Birth, January 2, 1998

  Mobile phone number, 6268763134

  Address, Dovica Street 21

   Social Security Number, 623-53-7748

  …

afternoon.

  No. 21 Dovica Street, home of August Tokar.

  Xiao Hei got out of the car and began to complain, "I'm your partner, why do you want to investigate secretly by yourself?"

  Luke explained, "I didn't investigate secretly, I just investigated separately.

  At that time, Raymond had already found the trace of the suspect, but I just felt that something was wrong. I couldn't affect the overall investigation of the case because of an unclear inspiration.

  So, I stayed and checked the monitoring alone.

   Moreover, I found out about Augustus Toka's situation, so I contacted you as soon as possible. "

   "Am I the first?"

"certainly."

   "OK, I feel better."

  The two walked to the door of the house, Xiao Hei wanted to reach out to ring the doorbell, but then retracted, "We may be facing a vampire, are you sure we don't need to make more preparations?"

   Luke laughed, "Do we need some heads of garlic?"

  Xiao Hei thought for a while, and said seriously, "There seems to be a supermarket on the way we came just now, maybe there will be."

  Luke was a little speechless, but this guy actually took it seriously, "There seems to be a church in front of the community, do you want to invite a pastor? And get you a large cross, huh?"

  Xiao Hei pursed his thick lips and rang the doorbell.

   "Ding Dong..."

no respond.

   "Ding Dong..."

   He rang the doorbell again, but there was still no response.

  Luke looked through the garage window, but there was no car in the garage, "Augus Tokar is probably not at home."

  Xiao Hei asked, "Will you run away?"

   "It's possible." Luke walked to the door. He had a search warrant, and suddenly missed David. If this guy was here, the broken door should have been opened.

  Xiao Hei came to the door and fiddled with it for a while, "Crack."

  The door opened.

  Luke was a little surprised, "Can you still pick the lock?"

   "Is this difficult?" Xiao Hei pushed the door and walked in with a look of indifference.

  Luke also entered the door and closed it behind him.

   "Whoa...are we a museum of vampires? Is that a mural of Dracula?

   There are also large crosses, all kinds of fangs, and even golden ones.

   There is also a vampire mask here! "Xiao Hei looked at the decoration in the room, tsk tsk in admiration.

  Luke held a Glock pistol, "Don't look at it yet, search the house again."

   Afterwards, the two searched the house, but found no one.

   began to carefully check the situation in the house.

  There are a lot of things about vampires in the house. The suspect is probably a vampire lover.

   Luke had guessed this before. Another reason for him to check the room was to see if the suspect had any signs of escape.

  …

   Seven o'clock in the evening.

  A Honda car parked in front of August Toka's house.

  A white man got out of the car, looked around, quickly opened the door, and entered the house.

  The light in the room was dim, and he suddenly found a black man sitting on the sofa with his back facing him.

   "Who are you? Why did you come to my house?"

  The black man stood up, turned around, and showed two sharp fangs, "I am Marcus II, the second generation of vampires in the American continent, boy, I smell a familiar breath.

you!

   Is it my offspring? "

  The white guy was dumbfounded, "I bought it! I bought it! Are you kidding me?"

  The black 'vampire' sniffed, his face intoxicated, "I can smell human blood from you.

  A white guy, female, in her twenties, but alas...she's not a virgin anymore.

  Virgin's blood can bring us real power! "

  The white man Xiaohuo took two steps back and sat down on the ground, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

   "Tell me? Am I right? Haha..." The black vampire let out a dark laugh.

   "That's right... I bit a woman, but I didn't mean to offend you. I'm not really a vampire, please don't hurt me."

   "Your name is Augustus Tokar?"

"Yes."

  Marcus II walked forward slowly,

"you!

  Want to become a real vampire? "

   "nonono...don't come here, otherwise, I'm going to call the police!" August Toka leaned against the wall, and only then remembered to take out his phone from his pocket.

   "Crack!"

   Luke turned on the lights, worried that Marcus would make trouble if he played any longer.

"ah!"

   Seeing another person in the room, the white guy jumped again, "Are you a vampire too?"

  Luke flashed his police badge, "lapd!

  Augus Tokar, you are under arrest! "

   Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a monthly pass!
