Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 246 Obsession (five thousand)

  The bartender said, "Mr. Ronald Bunbert, our boss has heard about George and is very sympathetic to what happened to him. I would like to ask you to go talk later."

  Ronald showed an exaggerated look, "Guys, did you hear that? The famous boss Rogge wants to chat with me.

It's my pleasure. "

   After speaking, Ronald stood up and followed the bartender Archie out of the front hall of the bar.

  Led by the bartender Archie, the two walked all the way back to the back door of the bar.

  At this moment, Ronald seemed to feel something was wrong, "Archie, didn't you say you were going to see Mr. Roger? Where are we going?"

   "That's right, Mr. Rogge is waiting for you at the back door."

  Hearing this, Ronald turned around and was about to run away, but was grabbed by Archie, "It's impolite to break an appointment without a reason, and the boss will be angry."

  Archie opened the back door and pushed Ronald out.

Ronald looked at the dimly lit back alley, where three strong black men were waiting for him outside the door, walking towards him eagerly, Ronald took two steps back instinctively, "I... came to see Mr. Roger .”

   What responded to him was a beating by three black strong men.

"ah…"

  Ronald was beaten up and howled, "Why did you beat me? If you have something to say, why do you want to do this?

   Killing, help me. "

   Still no response, just beating.

   It wasn't until Ronald was beaten with blood all over his face and lying on the ground that he couldn't get up, that everyone stopped.

  The bartender Archie walked over, "Ronald, do you know what's wrong?"

   "Boss Roger said I was wrong, I was wrong, but can you tell me what's wrong? I am willing to change."

  The bartender asked, "Is that wad of twenty dollars today yours?"

"Yes."

   "Why lie to me with fake money? Do you think I'm a fool?"

   "Fake money? That's not fake money, there must be some misunderstanding."

  The bartender took out a twenty-dollar note, "This is what you gave me." The bartender tore it open and threw the note in Ronald's face.

Ronald picked up the blood-stained note, "fuck, how could it be a blank paper, that **** George killed me." Afterwards, Ronald hugged the bartender's leg, "Please listen to my explanation, this is not mine I took the money from George’s house, and I didn’t know it was fake money, otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to do it even if I had ten guts.”

   "Where did George get the money?"

"I have no idea."

   "Pay off the debt in arrears within half a month, otherwise, you will die.

Understand? "

"I see."

   "Can it be done?"

"Yes, I can."

   "Hey, what are you doing?"

  A voice came from the shadow of the back alley, and Xiao Hei and Luke came out with police badges on their bodies.

   "Two police officers, he accidentally fell down, and we are about to help him up."

   "It's not easy to fall." Luke walked up to Ronald and asked, "Did you fall by yourself?"

   "Yes, I fell by myself, I fell by myself, thanks to them helping me up."

   "Good, there are still many good people in this world."

   "Officer, I want to call the police." The bartender said.

"What happened?"

   “This guy spent hundreds of dollars at our bar, all in counterfeit money.”

   Luke looked at Ronald, "Did you use counterfeit money?"

   Ronald glanced at the bartender, nodded, "Yes, I used it."

   "Where did it come from?"

   "From my brother's house."

   "Who is your brother?"

   "George Balbert."

   "Did you know it's illegal to use counterfeit money?"

   "I knew, but I didn't know those were counterfeit bills, I swear."

   "Whether you know it or not, you are using counterfeit money, come with us."

   "Okay, I'll go with you." Ronald agreed very happily. At this time, it is safer to go with the police than to stay here.

   "nonono, this is not acceptable, you'd better go to the bar to wash your face, we will wait for you at the front door of the bar."

   "I don't need to wash my face, it's fine." Ronald didn't want to go into the bar again.

  Little underworld, "It's not up to you, don't get into my car if you don't clean your stinky face."

   "Two police officers, wrap it on me, and I will help him wash his face." The bartender volunteered.

   "You're such a nice, helpful guy, no wonder your bar is doing so well.

   Ronald, see you soon. "

  Luke and Xiao Hei get back in the car.

  Luke asked, "Your friend hasn't found out about Derrick's whereabouts yet?"

   "There is no news yet. There are many black teenagers who come out to hang out at the age of 14 or 15. It is not easy to find."

  Luke thought for a while, "Then add two more, this kid spends a lot of money, and he probably carries a lot of twenty-dollar bills."

  …

  Luke and Xiao Hei escorted Ronald Banalbert back to the police station.

  He expressed his speculation.

   The whole thing is also tied together.

The reason why Kunel, who was originally in financial distress, became rich was because he accidentally obtained a counterfeit banknote, and it was precisely because of the counterfeit banknote that Kunel attracted the pursuit of George and Jamie. .

   Kunil's good friend Derrick also has something to do with the money. Derrick was also hunted down by the two, and his life and death are uncertain.

  After that, George was stimulated after taking drugs and drinking, and was arrested when he went to the supermarket to buy things with counterfeit money.

  Luke locked George's suspicion through criminal investigation sketch portraits.

   Subsequently, Jamie asked his girlfriend who worked in the hospital to assassinate George, and was just smashed by Luke and Xiao Hei.

  Of course, these are just speculations, the important thing is to find the relevant evidence of conviction.

"boom."

  The door of the conference room opened, and Matthew walked into the conference room, "Guys, you should see this."

  Matthew turned on the TV in the conference room and played back a piece of news.

   "Hello viewers, I am Pari Jones, a reporter from CFP TV, and I am reporting an urgent news.

  I think everyone is familiar with the name of George Banelbert.

  Our CFP TV station has also been paying attention to his situation. According to multiple investigations, we got a sad news.

  Last night, George's treatment failed and he had already left this world.

  That's right, I don't want to believe this sad news, but the reality is so cruel.

  lapd arrested George in the name of a crime. Let’s not say whether George is guilty or not, but the suspect also has the right to life, and lapd has no reason to deprive him of it.

  In order to avoid more similar things from happening, our CFP TV station will continue to pay attention to and report on this matter.

  I'm reporter Pari Jones. "

  Jackson pointed to the TV and said, "I know this woman, she seems to know Marcus..."

  Luke laughed, "Detective Marcus, your girlfriend is going to be famous."

  Marcus' face was a bit ugly, "Isn't she my girlfriend? It's just one of my many suitors. It's not my cup at all."

  The deputy team reminded, "Stay away from this girl, she will kill you sooner or later."

  Matthew said, "Is George dead? Why don't I know."

  Luke didn't take it seriously, "She's just sensationalizing the hot news, so there's no need to take it seriously.

  George is alive and well. "

  Susan reminded, "Guys, be careful these days.

  George's death may cause quite a stir and trouble, everyone pay attention to safety. "

  CFP TV was the first major news organization to broadcast the news of George's death, and the news was quickly covered by other media.

  George's death became hot news.

  It has aroused great attention and repercussions in the whole country and even the whole world.

  As the first reporter to broadcast this news, Pari Jones has also gained a lot of attention in the industry.

  Although Luke had prepared in advance, the speed of the spread of this case and the wide influence of it still exceeded his estimation.

   is also beyond his level.

  As Rhett said, there may be other driving forces behind this case.

   But this level is beyond the reach of Luke now.

  So, Luke still focused on the case.

  …

  Padden Motel.

   This motel is located on the outskirts of Los Angeles, off Highway 7.

  The motel covers a large area, with three floors, a convenience store, a swimming pool, a gym, and a gas station. It is considered a relatively high-end motel.

  In room 305 of the hotel.

There lived a teenage black boy. The room was a bit messy. It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for a few days. There were a lot of domestic garbage on the bed and the floor. The black boy was sitting at the table playing computer games, and there was a Put cola, potato chips, chocolate and other snacks.

   "fuck! Are you stupid? Can you play? Milk me!"

   "Boom..."

  There was a knock on the door outside.

  The black boy stood up nervously, "Who's outside?"

"Room Service."

   "I didn't order room service."

   "Our hotel has an event today, and every guest can get a souvenir."

   "I don't need a souvenir, you can go."

   "click..."

   At this moment, there was a sound of swiping the door card.

   "Fuck! Again."

  The black boy turned and ran to the balcony.

  The door was opened, a black-haired man and a black man broke in, it was Luke and Xiao Hei.

  Reminded by Luke, Xiao Hei increased the search conditions and obtained Derrick's clues.

   After the two rushed into the house, they found a black boy suspected of Derrick running to the balcony.

  Luke observed in advance that there is no other passage on the balcony, and this kid can't escape.

  However, the next scene shocked both Luke and Xiao Hei.

  The black boy quickly ran to the balcony, stepped on the stool with one foot, stepped on the wall of the balcony with the other, and jumped directly from the third floor.

  Xiao Hei's eyes widened, "fuck!

  You f*cked up thinking you were Spider-Man? "

  However, the imaginary scream did not come, replaced by a 'plop' sound of falling into the water.

  Luke and Xiao Hei went to the balcony to look down, and found that the little black boy just jumped into the swimming pool downstairs, and gave them the middle finger.

Derrick stayed in the room for more than just playing games. He had already calculated the escape route. The balcony was some distance away from the swimming pool, and he needed a run-up to jump into the swimming pool. The two policemen were not familiar with the situation, and it was impossible to run up as soon as they came up. With this The time difference was enough for him to escape.

  Derrick swam to the swimming pool, and when he was about to come out of the swimming pool, he suddenly felt a figure flash by, and then he was stepped on top of his head, and was pushed into the water again.

   "Gulu Gulu..." Derrick's breathing was disrupted, and he took a few sips of water, choking him so much that he just rolled his eyes.

  Derrick waved his hands desperately again, swam to the edge of the pool, and a big hand lifted him out of the pool.

  In addition to Luke and Xiao Hei, Raymond and Jenny came to Derrick this time.

   It was Raymond who lifted him out of the water just now.

  Derrick lay on the ground panting heavily, "Who are you?"

   Jenny flashed her police badge, "lapd."

   "Are you the same as the two lapds I saw last time?"

  Luke also came over and said, "If so, you would have died long ago, instead of being caught by us."

   "There are four of you, I'm not convinced."

   Luke said, "We are here to arrest people, not to impress you."

   "Why do you arrest me?"

   "Just because you used a lot of counterfeit money." Luke took out a bill, tore it in half and threw it at him.

  Derrick sighed, "How did you find me? These counterfeit coins were found?"

   "Do you admit to using counterfeit money?"

   "I admit it." Derrick spread his hands. There are more counterfeit money in his room, so he can't admit it.

   "Where did the counterfeit money come from?"

   "Picked up."

   "Where did you pick it up?"

   "I can't remember either."

   "Who else has counterfeit money but you?"

   "I picked it up by myself."

   "Have you ever given counterfeit money to anyone else?"

"No."

   "Do you know Queenie Bolt?"

  Derrick hesitated, "Yes, he is my friend."

   "Does he have counterfeit money?"

   "I don't know, probably not."

  Luke saw it. The other party still had a fluke mentality, as if he didn't know that Kunel was dead.

  Luke took out a photo of Quinnell being killed, "Although it is a bit cruel, I think you should know."

   "What happened to Kunil? Damn it, he's dead!

   Who killed him?

   Is it lapd? "

   "According to our investigation, it is likely to be the two men who chased and killed you that night."

   "Aren't they just lapd?"

   "No, they're fake."

   "Not only did they kill Quenil, they also wanted to kill you.

  You should be thankful that we found you first, if those two people found you first.

   You may be dead. "

   "Damn it, I told him not to go anymore, but he just didn't listen, this idiot, he killed himself for those counterfeit coins." Derrick was very emotional.

   "What the **** happened? You can explain things clearly so we can help you, understand?

   Otherwise, you are likely to be hunted down again. "

  Seeing that Derrick was a little shaken, Luke and Xiao Hei took him to the hotel room for questioning, and Raymond and Jenny were responsible for searching the hotel room where he lived.

  Derrick was only a teenager after all. When he heard the news that his good friend had been killed, he was nervous and broke down.

  Xiao Hei got him a glass of water, "Dude, relax, as long as you make things clear, we will cover you.

   We catch the bad guy, and you're safe. "

  “Some time ago, Kunel and I went to an abandoned warehouse to play, and we found that there were many machines in the warehouse, and we were very curious.

  At first, we thought it was a printing machine, and wondered if it could be sold for money.

  Later, we discovered that there was another compartment in the warehouse with many shelves, one of which contained bundles of twenty-dollar bills.

   There are ten bundles of banknotes in a bundle, each bundle of one hundred bills, with a face value of twenty dollars, and a bundle is 20,000 dollars.

  There were at least a dozen bundles of banknotes on that shelf. Both of us were stunned. We had never seen so many banknotes.

  The two of us were also terrified, knowing that the money might not come from the right path, and then thinking of the printing press outside, we guessed that these might be counterfeit money.

  After knowing that it was counterfeit money, the two of us were not so interested, and each only took a bundle.

   If you can spend it, you can spend it, if you can’t, it’s just a game.

  Later, we tried to spend a few times, but no one found out that it was fake money. We became more and more courageous, and regretted that we took less.

  A few days later, Kunel contacted me, saying that he wanted to go to that warehouse again, this time bring some more money, and everyone would be rich.

  Hearing his words, I felt very complicated, and I was a little moved, but I was more afraid.

  I know very well that this kind of thing is inseparable. Counterfeit currency is also money.

  I advised him not to be a fool and not go to that warehouse again, but he said he was out of money and needed more. "Derrick showed a helpless look, and said guiltily,

   "I should have persuaded him at the time, if I hadn't let it go, he wouldn't have died.

it's all my fault. "

  Luke asked, "The two of you each received 20,000 US dollars. This is not a small amount. How could it be spent in a few days?"

"I also asked, but at first he refused to tell the truth, but later I was anxious to tell the truth." Derrick sighed, "He only spent a few thousand dollars himself, and gave the rest to his mother. "

  Little underworld, "Wasn't Kunil abandoned by his mother? Why did he still give the money to his mother?"

  "Quinnier doesn't believe he was abandoned, he believes that the foster care center deprived her mother of custody, and believes that her mother loves him.

  He has always missed his mother and hopes to live with his mother, which is why he cannot integrate into a foster family.

  He has been in touch with his mother, and he expects her to take him up and raise him, but his mother always refuses for various reasons.

   Either she is incapable, or the foster care center disagrees, or she is too busy with work, and when she earns enough money, she will move to Los Angeles to live with Queen.

  It is a similar excuse every time, once or twice is okay, but if there are too many excuses, a fool will not believe it.

   But, Quinnell believed.

  After he knew that the money could be spent, the first thing he thought of was his mother, and he mailed her a sum of money, asking her to come to Los Angeles to play, the best hotel, board and lodging, and buy various gifts.

   Moreover, his mother brought her boyfriend along, and he also spent thousands of dollars on his mother's boyfriend.

  When I heard it, I thought he was a big fool.

   Sure enough, after his money was spent, his mother left with her boyfriend.

  She is a bitch.

  Kunel was very disappointed, not because he was disappointed with his mother, but because he felt that he didn’t have enough money.

  In his words, if he had enough money, he could keep his mother by his side and let her live with him.

   Never part again.

  At that time, I thought he was crazy! "

   Nine thousand words in two chapters.

   Let's go to bed early, everyone.

Good night.
