Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 190 Acting

   "Woooooooooooo..."

   Li Mei and Brown also rushed to Wang Chao's house.

  The former "family of three" hugged and cried together.

  Brown, the father, was more excited than Li Mei, and cried the loudest, holding his daughter tightly all the time, Luke felt that Betty's neck was about to be strangled.

   With red eyes, Li Mei patted her daughter on the back, comforting her in a low voice.

  Red came over and patted Luke on the shoulder, "Good job. You handled it decisively this time and rescued Betty and Amy Ma in time.

  I will help you to claim credit. "

   "Thank you." Luke said modestly, "It's all thanks to everyone, you are a good leader.

  I just had better luck, plus some my own judgment. "

  Rett said, "Luck is also a kind of strength."

  Luke agrees with Rhett’s words, luck and luck, people have to live on their own, and some things seem to be coincidences, but in fact they conform to certain objective laws, but this law is not obvious.

   It's like buying a lottery ticket. Why do some people win the lottery?

lucky?

  Luke thinks there are two possibilities. First of all, you have to buy it every day and be prepared at all times. Although the chances are extremely small, it is only possible to win if you buy it.

  The second possibility...is more complicated.

  Ordinary people can’t envy you, let alone be jealous, it’s useless if you get angry and hurt your body.

  Before the Detective System, Luke never bought this thing. At that time, he was just an ordinary person. He didn't have much spare money to buy every day, nor was he so lucky.

  After the family of three finished crying, Brown led his daughter to Luke, "Deputy Luke, thank you for saving my daughter, I really don't know what to say.

  If I hadn’t met Ni at the bar, I don’t know what stupid thing I would have done, and I don’t know what would happen…

  You not only saved Betty, you saved me too.

  I... don't really know how to express it. "

  Luke waved his hand, "I am a policeman, this is my duty, even if the person who is **** is not Betty, I will do my best to rescue him.

relax.

  You're a good father, just...in the wrong way.

  I hope you will have more trust in the police in the future. Especially our Robbery and Murder Division. "

   "I will." Brown replied with a serious face, and shook hands with Luke vigorously.

  Besides, Betty showed a grateful look, "Lieutenant Luke, thank you for saving me."

  Luke patted her head, "You're welcome, I'm glad I could save you, too."

  Betty blinked her big eyes, showing a look of expectation, and asked in Chinese, "Can I see you in the future?"

  Luke smiled, "It's unlikely, why ask?"

   "I was terrified in the burrow, crying all the time, thinking I was going to die and never see my parents again.

  The burrow suddenly opened and a beam of light came in. I saw you coming down from above...

  I was...happy, excited, excited...

   I can't describe my feelings at that time in words.

  You untied me and made me feel safe.

  This is more than a thank you can express.

   I hope to see you again, you are a ray of sunshine in my life..."

  Hearing what Betty said, Luke was also a little touched. He really wanted to give Betty a business card and tell her that he could contact him if he had anything to do.

  But... in the end, he didn't do that, he comforted softly, "Betty, you are safe.

  I will catch the villain who kidnapped you and send him to prison.

  Don't be afraid, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you must speak up if you have something to say.

  Your father and mother love you very much.

  If you are in danger again, call 911 immediately.”

   Betty nodded, "I remember."

  Li Mei also came over and shook hands with Luke, "Deputy Captain Li, thank you for everything you have done."

   "You're welcome, it's your duty."

   "You are a good policeman, I am very envious that Frank can have such a good helper like you."

  Luke quipped, "You should tell him that yourself."

"I will."

   After a brief chat, Li Mei and the three left.

  Xiao Hei said, "Why don't you give Betty a business card? You saved her.

   It can be heard that she is very insecure now, she trusts you, and you can just help her out. "

   "I'm not you." Luke is not saying that Xiao Hei is bad, but that everyone has a different personality and a different way of doing things.

  Just like Xiao Hei and Jaden, Xiao Hei has already regarded helping Jaden as a responsibility, which is very good, which shows that Xiao Hei is very kind, but this kind of unilateral contribution will be very tiring.

  Luke is a more rational person, and it is difficult to be the same as Xiao Hei.

   As for helping Betty, whether it can bring the relationship with Li Mei closer.

  Luke feels that the relationship between him and Li Mei is just right at this stage, neither far nor close.

  He saved Betty, and Li Mei would definitely be grateful, and if she could help Luke, she would definitely not stand idly by.

This is enough.

   What do you expect others to do?

   No matter how good your relationship with her daughter is, she won't be able to directly promote you.

  Besides, Li Mei can become the deputy mayor. If she is more shrewd, it may not be a good thing to be too rushed.

   Counting on this matter to call others sisters and brothers.

   Maybe people will really appreciate you at the beginning, but after a long time, the taste may change.

  Luke and Li Mei are not in the same circle now, and they can only chat awkwardly when they sit together.

  It is not as light as water between gentlemen, and the water flows long.

  The hostages were rescued, and the scene was taken over by the survey team.

   But the case is not over, and the suspect has not been caught yet.

  The Robbery and Murder Division cannot let up.

  Susan rearranged the task, and everyone investigated the suspect's whereabouts separately.

  Luke and Xiao Hei are responsible for interrogating Amy Ma, also known as 'Mrs. Kenneth'.

  When Luke and Xiao Hei found Amy Ma, she stood up and thanked, "Deputy Luke, thank you for saving me."

  She looked at Xiao Hei again, "And this detective, you are all my saviors."

  Xiao Hei reminded, "My name is Marcus, Detective Marcus. Although I'm not a detective yet, I believe I will be soon."

  Luke said, "How is your wound?"

"The wound on my arm has been re-bandaged, and my body is fine." After Betty and Amy Ma were captured by the kidnappers, they did not suffer any abuse, but the daily food intake was relatively small, and there were some minor deficiencies. water symptoms.

   "We need to make a record for you and ask some questions about the kidnappers."

   "No problem, you can ask, I also hope to catch the kidnapper soon, otherwise, I can't sleep well."

  Luke cut to the chase, "Do you know the kidnapper?"

   "No, they are all wearing headgear, I can't see their faces clearly."

   "What kind of headgear?"

   "Black stockings." After Amy Ma finished speaking, she added, "However, they give me the impression that they should be of Asian descent."

   "If you think about it again, you really don't know them?"

"do not know."

   "Tell me about the incident."

  Amy Ma sighed and frowned, as if unwilling to recall.

   After a while, he said, "It was after ten o'clock in the evening on the 19th, and Betty had gone back to her room to sleep.

   Then, I also prepare to wash and go to bed.

  When I came out of the toilet, I saw two strange men and women standing outside.

  They had guns in their hands, and I was terrified, and they tied me up, and they went upstairs and took Betty hostage.

  Afterwards, I started to ask where the family’s money was. I told them that I was just a nanny and I didn’t know where the family’s belongings were.

  They didn't believe it, and the man started hitting me and scratching my arm.

  After Betty testified for me, they let me go.

  The man started asking Betty again, but Betty didn't know either.

   Fortunately, they still had a good conscience and did not attack Betty.

  After that, the man took care of us, and the woman began to rummage through the boxes to find valuable items.

   But Mr. Kenneth is a relatively simple person. All the money is in the bank, and there are no valuables at home. They couldn't get the money, so they kidnapped Betty and me.

  They took me and Betty hostage, let me drive in the front, and they took Betty in the back.

   On the way, I abandoned my car and replaced it with a black car.

  We made a big detour to get here, and we've been locked in the hole ever since.

  To be honest, I once thought I was going to die, and I was extremely desperate at the time.

   Thank you, I cannot thank you enough. "

   Luke asked, "Why did the kidnapper choose to kidnap you and Betty?"

   "I don't know, and I dare not ask."

   "How did they get into the house?"

   "I was taking a shower at the time, and I could only hear the sound of splashing water, and I didn't notice the movement outside. Then I was kidnapped, and I was so frightened that I didn't care about it."

  Luke wrote it down in his notebook and asked, "Who is Mrs. Kenneth?"

  Amy Ma was a little embarrassed, "Uh...it's me."

   "Why do you call yourself Mrs. Kenneth?"

  Amy Ma's eyes flickered, she didn't dare to look at Luke and Xiao Hei, and said perfunctorily, "Maybe it's vanity."

   "What kind of vanity, have you called yourself Mrs. Kenneth to anyone?"

   "Actually, I just occasionally post a circle of friends to prove that I have a good life. I seldom deliberately tell others that I am Mrs. Kenneth."

  Luke shook his head, "I'm afraid it's more than that. What's the relationship between you and the Modern Mom Confinement Center?"

  Amy Ma was stunned for a moment, and replied, "I have a good relationship with their lady boss. They can be regarded as friends, and I will occasionally help them promote in the circle of friends."

   "Amy Ma, if you are really grateful to us for saving you, don't lie to us." Luke sighed and continued,

   "We have been to the Modern Mom Confinement Center and talked with the proprietress Zhang Wenyan.

  I know that there is an interest relationship between you. If you advertise the confinement center in your circle of friends, you can get a lot of money as long as you recommend a customer for the confinement center.

  We are not the IRS and are not interested in these matters of yours.

  However, we are investigating the motive and purpose of the murderer and need to know more. Have you ever wondered why the murderer kidnapped you? "

   "You mean the murderer is out to get revenge on me?"

   "We are investigating, and although we cannot be sure yet, it is very likely.

  The murderer has not been arrested yet, once the police leave, they are likely to retaliate against you again. Therefore, you must not take it lightly now, only by assisting the police to catch the suspect can you be completely safe. "

  Amy Ma pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I see. You can ask, I will definitely cooperate."

   Luke continued to ask, "Have you offended anyone?"

"No."

"think carefully."

   "Really not, I don't know many people here. Not to mention offending people."

   "What is your relationship with Mei Cong Confinement Center?"

   "I also introduced clients to their confinement center before, but then the confinement center went bankrupt, so I didn't contact them again."

  Luke pressed, "Bankrupt for what reason?"

"I'm not very clear about the specific reason. I heard that someone reported it. Many departments went to investigate. The boss was not only fined, but also imprisoned because of this incident. The confinement center can no longer operate." Amy Ma After speaking, there was a brief silence.

   From the analysis of the existing evidence, Luke still feels that there is some kind of grievance and conflict of interest between the kidnapper and Amy Ma.

"Let me tell you about the kidnapper, see if you have any impression." Then, Luke began to describe the information of the two suspects, "The male kidnapper is Wang Chao, 34 years old, a chef in a restaurant in the United States. He did not obtain legal status, but came here to work secretly.

  The female kidnapper is his wife, named Liu Xiaoli, who used to work as a dish washer in a restaurant, but also did not obtain a status. She is now pregnant and recuperating at home. "

   "Wang Chao, Liu Xiaoli..." Amy Ma muttered, "These two names sound familiar, but... I really can't remember them all at once."

"think carefully."

   After a while, Amy Ma shook her head again, "I'm sorry, I really can't remember, but I guessed the reason for their robbery?"

"What do you think."

  "Since the two of them have not obtained their identities and are unwilling to leave Los Angeles, they must hope that their children can obtain legal identities, so the purpose of their robbery is probably to go to the confinement center to wait for delivery.

  Xiao Hei was a little puzzled, "Where you can't wait for delivery, why do you have to go to the confinement center?"

  “They are different from ordinary people. They have no identity. If they go to the hospital for an examination, they will be directly deported by the immigration bureau, and there is no way to obtain an identity at that time.”

  Little gangster, "You can go to black clinics, as long as you have money, you can also deliver babies there."

  Amy Ma shook her head, "That's different.

  In that case, the child still cannot obtain the identity of the United States.

  Many people think that as long as a child is born in the United States, he must be a citizen of the United States, but this is not the case.

   One more thing to add here is that only children delivered by nurses in regular hospitals are considered legal citizens.

   To put it bluntly, this child was born, but there is no relevant certificate. Who knows if he was born abroad and was smuggled into Los Angeles.

   To obtain a birth certificate, you have to go to a regular hospital.

  If a pregnant woman has no identity, she will be repatriated if she goes directly to a regular hospital for examination.

   At this time, you need to go to the confinement center.

   Existence is reasonable. In the United States, as long as you have money, many illegal things can be done in a legal way. To put it bluntly, as long as you have money, you can open up relationships.

  The confinement center acts as a matchmaker, allowing pregnant women to undergo examinations and give birth in regular hospitals.

  The child can obtain a birth certificate, that is, a legal citizen.

  This has formed a huge industrial chain of interests. Speaking of this, Amy Ma paused and recalled, "I think the female kidnapper's belly is not small, and she probably will go to the confinement center to wait for delivery." "

  Amy Ma's analysis makes sense, and Luke agrees with it.

  Before, Luke also thought of the confinement center, but he couldn't be sure at the time.

  There are some twists and turns in it, and it is difficult for people who have not been in contact with this industry to think clearly at once.

   For professional matters, you have to ask professional people, which is why Luke is eager to take notes for Amy Ma.

   Neither he nor Xiao Hei had any experience working in the Immigration Bureau, so it was difficult to figure out the true role of the confinement center.

  Then the next step is simple, as long as you go to the confinement centers to investigate, you can find the traces of the kidnappers.

  Seeing Amy Ma finished speaking, Xiao Hei asked, "Do you know a plumber named Mark Custer?"

  Amy Ma showed a slightly embarrassed look, "I know, what's wrong with him?"

   "You should thank him for calling 911.

  If he hadn't called the police in time, it would be very difficult for us to know about your kidnapping so quickly.

   And I can see that Mark cares about you. "

  Amy Ma showed a complicated look, biting her lip, "Mark...does he know my real identity?"

   "Yes, he already knew."

  Amy Ma sighed softly, "Is he disappointed that he did so many ridiculous things with a nanny twenty years older than him."

  Xiao Hei asked, "Why did you lie to him?"

  Amy Ma lowered her head and was silent for a moment, "Have you ever played role-playing?"

  Xiao Hei smiled, "Yes, it's very interesting, and occasionally I will use some clothes and props."

  Amy Ma shook her head, "You don't know what is interesting at all, the temporary role-playing is all fake, even if you wear the clothes of the role-playing, it is difficult to get emotionally involved.

   Both parties knew it was fake, and they knew it well, without any excitement.

  But I am different from Marco.

   That environment, that atmosphere, I am the wife.

  He is my little wolf dog. "

   The cervical spine feels uncomfortable again, and my head is dizzy, which may be due to insufficient blood supply.

   Sorry for the late update.

   There is only one update today.

   Go to bed early and adjust your schedule.
