Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 306 Closing the net (ten thousand words)

  Sepplin Community, Odval Wells Home.

   This is a two-storey villa with gray tiles and red bricks and a pointed roof. The yard is large and green lawns are planted. Two herringbone-shaped paths lead into the entrance of the villa.

  There are two cars parked in front of the garage on the east side, a Mercedes-Benz and a pickup truck.

  A white man with a big beard was standing next to a Mercedes-Benz car on the phone, his right foot habitually stepped on the tire,

   "fuck, are you an idiot?

   That's my money...

  I don't want to hear the reason, I only look at the result, how to do it is your problem..."

   "Crackling..."

  The door of the villa opened, and a teenage girl and a girl of eight or nine ran out of the house, followed by a tall, stylishly dressed white woman, holding a disc in her hand.

   "Honey, afternoon tea is ready." As the woman spoke, she put fruit, dessert and black tea on the table.

   "Come right away." The white man responded and whispered into the phone, "Hey, don't let me down, or you will know the consequences."

   After finishing speaking, the white man hung up the phone and put on a smiling face, "Hey, it's my favorite afternoon tea time again, three beautiful ladies, can I join you?"

  The girl picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said solemnly, "No, my future boyfriend will be jealous."

   "Whoa, that's horrible, is he going to hit me?"

"Maybe.

  If you give me an Apple 14, I can consider not telling him. "

  The white woman shook her head, "Nuria, don't even think about it. The teacher made it clear that you are not allowed to bring mobile phones to school."

   "I can play at home."

   "You have an iPhone 13."

   "I want an iPhone 14."

  The white woman took an apple from the fruit bowl and put it in front of her daughter, "Congratulations, it's apple 14 now."

"Ha ha…"

  The eight or nine-year-old girl laughed, and followed suit by picking up an apple and putting it in front of her sister, "It's Apple 15 now."

   "Haha..." The white man also let out a hearty laugh.

  The girl put on a straight face, folded her hands on her chest, "You guys are enough, it's simply unreasonable.

  I'm going to school, right now. "

  The white man raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Baby, don't be angry.

   As long as you can get 3 As in the next test, I will buy it for you. "

  The girl showed a look of joy, "Really?"

"certainly."

  The eight or nine-year-old girl shouted, "Dad, I want it too."

   "No problem, if you can get an A, I'll buy it for you too." The white man patted the girl's head with a doting look on his face.

   "Yeah, Dad, you're so nice."

  The white woman shook her head slightly, "My dear, they will all be spoiled by you."

   "Woooooooooooo..."

   At this moment, a black SUV stopped on the side of the road, and a black-haired young man got out of the passenger cab, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and rang the doorbell.

"Jingle Bell…"

  All four of the family heard the doorbell.

  The white man turned his head, stared sharply at the direction of the courtyard door, looked at the black SUV, and his eyes fell on Luke, "Here's a guest."

   "Honey, what's the matter?"

   "No, maybe they are asking for directions. I'll go and have a look." After the white man finished speaking, he got up and walked to the gate of the courtyard, "What's the matter?"

  The black-haired youth looked at each other, "Odvar Wells?"

  The white man showed a vigilant look, "Who are you?"

   "Captain of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division, Luke Lee."

   "Robbery and Murder Department? What do you want from me?"

   "We are investigating a bank robbery and would like your assistance in the investigation."

   "Are you kidding me, I'm just going to save money today, it has nothing to do with the robbery."

   "The money you saved was stolen money from a bank robbery. I didn't arrest you directly, I already saved face for you."

   "fuck! The bastard..."

  Odval Wells touched his chin, looking a little annoyed, "I'm not talking about you.

  This matter has nothing to do with me, I can't rob a bank. "

   "Then follow me to the police station and explain the matter clearly. In addition, your residence will also be searched."

  Odval Wells hesitated for a moment, with some resistance, "I can go with you, but don't affect my wife and daughter."

   Luke laughed, "You know what? You're involved in a bank robbery right now, and when you hand out the stolen money, you're already involved.

  I have many ways to arrest you, the most direct way is to take you away from home with full armor...

   I didn't choose to do that...you should thank your family.

   But my patience is limited, understand? "

  After determining the whereabouts of Odval Wells, Luke did think about many arrest methods. The reason why he chose this method was after comprehensive consideration of many aspects. This method is the safest and most secure.

  Luke is not a merciful person, and he will not give up the direct arrest just because the other party's family is present. What he is worried about is that it will stimulate the suspect and cause some unpredictable troubles.

   Such as bombs, men will do anything when their wives and daughters are threatened.

  On the contrary, as long as the police keep their hands, the suspect will restrain himself in front of his wife and daughter.

  The most important point is that Luke speculates that it is unlikely that Odval Wells is a robber. If he is a robber, it is impossible for him to be so idiotic as to deposit money in the bank just after the robbery.

  Different situations are suitable for different capture schemes.

  Odval Wells looked at his wife and daughter, "I swear I didn't rob the bank, the money was given to me by someone else."

   "Who gave it to you?"

   "If I tell you, can you not search my home?"

   "No, whoever has access to that money must be thoroughly investigated. If you don't want to accept the police investigation, then I will let the FBI search.

   Then you will know how cute lapd is. "

  Odval Wells seemed to know that he couldn't hide, so he said helplessly, "Give me some time, let my wife and daughter go out first, and you will search later."

   "Give you five minutes, and you are not allowed to leave my sight. They are not allowed to take away anything except their clothes, and their backpacks must be searched routinely."

   "God, what do you want me to tell the kids?"

  Luke glanced at his watch, "That's your business.

  Five minutes later, the place will be full of police cars. "

   "Can my wife drive?"

   "Cars will also be searched. Of course, if they don't mind, I can send them in a police car."

   "You are really..." Odval Wells' face was ashen.

"You are welcome."

  Luke shook his watch, "There are 4 minutes and 30 seconds left."

  Odval Wells hurried to the family and gave some instructions in a low voice. The two daughters looked puzzled, as if they were asking about something.

  But Odval Wells' wife's complexion changed drastically, and she hurriedly left the yard with her two daughters.

   Luke stared at the woman, feeling that she was behaving abnormally.

  If it is impossible for ordinary women to leave easily, they will ask at least three questions, why should they leave? Who is that man? Why can't you drive?

   But the woman didn't ask anything, and left with the child, which shows that she was already prepared.

  Odvar Wells wouldn't be clean even if he wasn't a murderer.

  Several police cars drove into the Seplin community, Odval Wells' face changed slightly, and only then did he completely believe Luke's words, "Captain Li, thank you for allowing me to save face in front of my family.

  I owe you a favor. "

  Luke smiled, not really caring, "Can we sit down and talk?"

"certainly."

  Luke and Odval Wells sat in the yard talking, and the other police officers were ready to enter the room and search.

  Luke cut to the chase, "Is there anyone else in your family?"

   "No."

   "Are there bombs in your room, garage and car?"

  Odval Wells was obviously taken aback, "No."

   "Your wife and daughter are still under police surveillance. It is best not to lie about this matter, otherwise the problem will be serious. If there is an explosion during the search, your family will be listed as terrorists.

   You should know what that means. "

   "I swear, there are no bombs anywhere in this yard. I am a businessman, not a desperado, and I will not do such stupid things."

   "Raymond, start searching."

   "Yes, sir."

  Led by Raymond, the police began to search Odval Wells' home.

  Odval Wells put his hands on his forehead, "Oh God, why am I involved in this shit?"

   "This should be asking yourself, where did that money come from?"

   "I... want a plea deal."

   "What crime did you commit?"

   "You agreed?"

   "No, there is no immunity agreement."

   "It's not fair."

   "It's fair, you got the stolen money, if you can't tell the source of the stolen money, we will investigate you as a robber.

   I also want to remind you that the robbers killed an FBI agent with a bomb, and several FBI agents were injured.

  If you are unwilling to cooperate with the police, they have a reason to intervene in the investigation. "

   "Don't turn me over to the FBI, I really have nothing to do with this case. Someone owed me some money, and he paid it back."

   "How much did he owe you? How much did he pay you back?"

   “He lent me $80,000 and repaid me $100,000.”

   "When did you borrow it?"

   "It's been two months."

   "Your interest is high enough. In half a year, the interest will exceed the principal."

   "We have agreed on these in advance, and it is fair."

   "So, you are a usurer?"

   "No, I'm just helping a friend."

  Luke didn't believe his nonsense. If he was really a friend, it would be impossible to charge such a high interest rate. If he wasn't a friend, why would he borrow money?

   You must know that the robbers dare to rob the bank, which proves that the robbers are not easy to mess with. If Odval Wells did not have a deep background, the robbers would not be able to take risks and rob the bank in order to pay back the money.

  However, whether Odval Wells is a usurer has little to do with Luke, and now he wants to know the whereabouts of the robbers.

   "Tell me the name of the friend who paid back the money."

   "Andreas Downs."

   "You dare to lend him money, which means you know enough about him. I want to know all his information."

  …

  The police completed a search at the home of Odval Wells and found no other clues related to the bank robbery.

  Luke handed over Odval Wells to the Economic Crimes Division for investigation.

  At the last yacht party, Luke had a good chat with Harvey Simmons, the captain of the First Squadron of the Economic Crime Division.

  After Luke called Harvey Simmons, he quickly took Odval Wells away.

  Luke focused his investigation on the arrest of the robber Andreas Downs.

  With the previous two unsuccessful capture experiences, Luke must be fully prepared this time.

   Soon, the police confirmed the address of Andreas Downs' home. It was a bungalow with a blue spire. The size of the house was similar to that of Luke's rented house, but the yard was smaller and the community environment was slightly worse.

  In the evening, in a black SUV, Luke looked at the blue pointed house with binoculars.

   Jackson on the side asked, "Captain, it will be dark soon, when will we arrest the suspect?"

   Luke has been thinking about this question, "It's not the time yet."

   "Captain, what time are you waiting for?"

   Luke didn't answer, and pointed his right hand in the direction of the suspect's house.

   I saw a blue car parked next to the blue spire house, and a Mexican man got out of the car and went to the trunk to take out a bag.

  The Mexican man walked to the door with a bag and knocked on the door.

   After a while, the door opened, and a white man took the bag with his head out, and handed the man two dollars.

  The Mexican man turned away and drove away.

  Luke kept staring closely with the binoculars, and took out the walkie-talkie, "Marcus, after you leave the community, ask the police to stop the car, and I want to question you."

   "Captain, could the driver of that car be an accomplice of the robbers?"

   "This possibility is not ruled out, but I think it is more likely that the other party is a delivery man."

"receive."

  Luke continued to issue tasks, "Raymond, Jenny, keep watching here."

   "Yes, sir."

   Afterwards, Jackson drove away from the community and chased in the direction of the blue car.

  By the time Luke chased him out of the community, the blue car had been stopped by the police and parked on the side of the road.

  The patrol let the Mexican man get out of the car, and then searched him.

   "Sir, I didn't break the law or speed, why did you stop my car?"

  The patrolman didn't answer. After searching his body, he said to Luke, "Sir, he doesn't have a weapon on him."

  Luke walked up to the Mexican man, "Dude, I'm sorry to stop your car, we are investigating a criminal case, and I would like your assistance in the investigation."

   "What criminal case? Does it have anything to do with me?"

  Luke asked without answering, "What do you do?"

   "I'm delivering food, what's the problem?"

   "Did you deliver food to customers in this community just now?"

"Yes."

   "Do you know that client?"

   "Uh... We don't know each other. I have delivered meals for him a few times. He doesn't like to talk very much. He always gives a tip of two dollars every time."

   "What did he order?"

   "Pizza set for two, as well as an apple pie and a fried chicken."

   "When was the last time you delivered him food?"

   "I can't remember exactly, but it was about a week ago."

   "What did he order?"

   "It seems to be a pizza set meal for one person... I can't remember the specifics."

   "Did you see anyone else in the house besides him?"

"No."

   "I hope you can keep the conversation just now confidential, don't tell anyone, and don't contact the client just now."

   "Yes, sir."

   "Very well, I wish you success in your work." Luke patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he could go.

  Jackson came over and reminded, "Captain, the news we got earlier is that Andreas Downs lives alone. Why would he order two meals?"

   "That means we still have some unexpected gains tonight."

   "So what do we do now?"

   "Keep waiting." Luke still decided to play it safe.

  The last time Anthony led a team to search the robber's home, he encountered a bomb trap set up by the robber in advance. Under such circumstances, it would be very dangerous to forcibly arrest two suspects and bring many uncertainties.

  Luke still decided to wait. Even if he wanted to arrest him by force, he would wait until the suspect fell asleep in the middle of the night.

  Tracking and patience are essential conditions for being a policeman.

  Time passed by one minute and one second.

  At around eight o’clock in the evening, the door of the blue spire house opened, and a man walked out of the house and drove a pickup truck out.

  Marcus' voice came from the intercom, "Captain, do you want to stop the robber's car?"

"Don't act rashly, follow up and find a suitable opportunity to arrest." Luke has been observing with a telescope. Only one robber got in the car, and the other robber may still be at home. If there is a problem during the interception , Another robber will also be alert.

  Assuming that the robber in the house has a bomb, the capture operation will bring unpredictable dangers.

  …

  Levins Bar.

  The pickup truck driven by the robbers was parked near the bar.

  A man wearing a baseball cap and tattooed on his neck got out of the car and walked straight to the door of the bar.

  After entering the bar, he began to twist his body to the music of the bar, and looked at the writhing crowd on the dance floor with a smile on his face.

  A man in a baseball cap walks up to the bar, places a ten-dollar bill, and calls, "Have a whiskey."

  The bartender poured a glass of whiskey and put it in front of him, and the man picked up the glass and drank it down.

   "Oye."

  The man in the baseball cap seemed even more excited. He wriggled his body and walked into the dance floor, shaking and twisting his buttocks, his whole body became high.

  Suddenly, the man in the baseball cap felt someone approaching him on both sides, and before he could react, his arms were firmly clamped.

   Then I felt a chill in my back, and a burst of electricity struck from behind, and my whole body began to tremble, my limbs were numb, my hands and feet were weak, and I made an "uh uh" sound from my mouth.

  Although the man in the baseball cap was still conscious, he was powerless to resist. He was pushed out of the bar by two men on the left and right, and fell into a Ford Transit car.

   This is a commercial vehicle with a tall and spacious body, which is very suitable for temporary interrogation of suspects.

  The man in the baseball cap slowly regained consciousness, "Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"

   "Crack" Marcus put the handcuffs on him without answering.

   Luke confirmed, "What's your name?"

  The man's eyes were a little flustered, as if he didn't dare to look at Luke, "Andreas Downs."

   "Where were you between 9 am and 12 am on October 5?"

   "I...I...you..." Andreas Downs was still trembling, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

  Luke pressed his head, looking at his stamina tattoo, "Your tattoo was clearly photographed in the bank surveillance.

   Let me ask again, were you at the Bank of North Hollywood between 9:00 am and 12:00 am on October 5th? "

  Andreas Downs took a deep breath, "I don't know what you're talking about?"

   "We caught Franco Murphy in a motel, and he confessed to robbing the bank, and he confessed to you all.

  The police arrest is not only aimed at you alone, maybe your other accomplices will also be arrested.

  Even if you don't say it, they will admit it.

  I advise you to be smart and don't become the unlucky one who was identified.

   Certainly those of your accomplices wouldn't mind stepping over your dead body to get a favorable plea deal, given the chance. "

   "If I confess now, can I get a favorable plea deal?"

   "Of course, as long as you are willing to assist the police investigation, I will provide you with a favorable plea agreement."

  Andreas Downs took a deep breath, "I admit...October 5 did participate in the North Hollywood robbery."

   "Who are your accomplices?"

   "Franco Murphy, Jaylen Gaddafi, Marbury, Soster."

   "Tell me about their situation?"

   "Franco Murphy, he is in charge of transportation, driving, and according to himself, he has driven a racing car before.

   Jeran Gaddafi, he is an expert lockpicker, responsible for opening the bank safe.

   Marbury, this guy is dangerous and likes to tinker with bombs.

  Sost, he was the mastermind of the robbery, and he also got the floor plan of the bank. "

   "Who is the mastermind in this case?"

   "Sost."

   "What's his full name?"

"I have no idea."

"how about you?"

   "I'm just a poor guy who owes a lot of debt and has to rob to pay off the debt. I'm just a lookout.

   I really don't want to do this kind of thing...

   But I have no choice. If I don’t pay back the debt in time, those guys won’t let me go. "

   "Odvar Wells?"

   "Yes, he is the person in charge of an underground bank with a gang organization behind him. If I don't pay back the money, they will definitely not let me go."

   "Who else is in your family?"

   "Jeran Gaddafi."

   "Why does he want to live in your house?"

  "Before, he handled the locker business at the bank in order to check in. He was worried that the police would track him down, so he borrowed at my house first."

  The situation described by Andres Downs is basically consistent with the police investigation.

Previously, Anthony was in charge of investigating the clues of the bank locker. He also found out that Jayran Gaddafi was suspected. He took his team to search Jayran Gaddafi's house. As a result, a bomb was installed in Jayran Gaddafi's house. Leading to heavy FBI casualties.

   "Who planted the bomb at Jeran Gaddafi's house?"

   "What bomb?" Andreas Downs looked puzzled.

  Luke said, "The FBI was bombed while investigating Jeran Gaddafi's home. Many agents were injured and even died."

  Andres Downs realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly explained, "I don't know about it, I just participated in a bank robbery and never killed anyone, let alone know about bombs.

  I swear, I just want to make some money to pay off the loan sharks, I'm not violent, and I don't like killing people. "

   "Isn't Jeran Gaddafi at your house? Didn't he mention it?"

"No."

   "Is there a bomb in your house?"

   "No, I will never allow that kind of thing to appear in my house."

   "In addition to Jeran Gaddafi, where are the other two robbers?"

"I have no idea."

   "You don't know, or don't want to say?"

   "I'm not familiar with them. I only know Jeran Gaddafi in this group, and Jeran Gaddafi is also my gang."

   "Jeran Gaddafi is your upline?"

   "I guess."

   "Are you familiar with Jeran Gaddafi?"

   "We met in prison.

  After being released from prison, I met in a bar once, and we got in touch again. We chatted relatively well, and they were good friends.

  They happened to be short of manpower, and they knew I was short of money, so they asked me to join. "

   "How long have you been planning the bank robbery?"

   "I was the last one to join, around October 2nd. As for how long they planned before, I don't know."

   "Where are the five of you strongholds?" Cases of multi-person robbery like this need to be planned and discussed many times in advance, and there will be at least one meeting place.

   "Jeran Gaddafi's house."

   “When do you usually get together to discuss cases?”

   "It's all night."

   "How many times?"

   “I only did it twice.”

   "You decided to rob after participating twice?"

   "My life is a mess and I need money... I'm cornered."

   "Then I will show you a clear way." Luke said seriously,

   "Andreas, want to get a favorable plea deal?"

"Yes."

   "Then help us catch Jayran Gaddafi." Luke determined the next target to be captured. Jayran Gaddafi is very important. The explosion happened in his house. He must know more about the situation.

  …

   A pickup truck is parked next to a steeple house.

  Andres Downs got out of the car, walked to the door with a wobble, "Boom..."

   There is no movement in the house.

  Andreas Downs shouted with a bit of drunkenness, "Jeran, **** guy, open the door for me quickly."

   At this time, a voice came from the house, "fuck, didn't you bring the key?"

   "I don't know, I think I brought it, but I can't find it.

  comeon, open the door, I brought you wine too. "

   "Crackling..." A man opened the door cautiously, wrinkled his nose, "How much wine have you drunk?"

   "Did you know? I saw a girl in a bar, she was super exciting..." Andreas Downs said while gesticulating with his hands, and his body wobbled backwards.

   "You **** drunkard." Jeran Gaddafi hurried out of the house to help him.

   "lapd!"

   Just as Jeran Gaddafi walked out of the house, there was a sound on both sides of the door.

   Jeran Gaddafi trembled with fright, turned his head to look to the right, and saw several heavily armed policemen pointing guns at him.

  He looked at Andres Downs again, there was no sign of drunkenness.

   "You **** **** betrayed me!

  I @#￥%…" Jeran Gaddafi yelled at Andreas Downs.

  Andreas Downs looked embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at him with his head down.

  The police rushed over and held Jeran Gaddafi down, handcuffed him, searched him, and did the same thing.

  Luke walked over and looked at the other party, "Are you Jaran Gaddafi?"

   "Didn't that traitor already tell you? Huh?"

   "Jeran Gaddafi, you were the first to be investigated by the police. Your method of checking in on the bank is not clever. Andres Downs is right to choose to cooperate with the police.

   As long as you assist the police investigation, we will also give you a favorable plea deal. "

   "To put it bluntly, you want me to betray my partner?"

   "At least you have an accomplice who betrayed you. The next one may not be as lucky as you."

   "Then I should thank you."

   "Then you'd better be a little sincere, otherwise, I can only hand you over to the FBI."

   Jeran Gaddafi said disapprovingly, "It doesn't seem to make any difference to me."

   "Let me remind you that the FBI encountered an explosion attack while investigating your home. One agent died on the spot, and several agents are still being treated in the hospital...

  Sorry, I made a mistake, some have already been discharged from the hospital with injuries.

  He can't wait to catch you. "

   "What a bomb attack, I didn't plant a bomb in my house at all."

  Luke kept staring at the other person's expression, he didn't look like he was lying, and continued, "Then you have to ask your accomplice?"

  Jeran Gaddafi's face became more and more ugly, and he broke out in cold sweat, "Don't hand me over to the FBI.

  I'd rather die than fall into their hands. "

   "You will not die, we will protect you well.

  You have only two ways, either cooperate with the police or cooperate with the FBI. "

   "I choose to cooperate with the police."

   "A very sensible decision."

   "Listen, I really don't know about the explosion, and it has nothing to do with me."

   "That's your home."

   "I don't know how to make and use bombs, I'm just a thief, that's all."

   "Then who do you think planted the bomb?"

   "Marbury.

  He is a master at playing bombs, he is the only one among us who can use bombs. "

"Where is he?"

   "I don't know, I'm not familiar with him.

  I know Soest, he was brought by Soest. "

   "Who is behind the robbery?"

   "Sost."

"Where is he?"

"I have no idea."

   "Then how did you get in touch?"

   "We contacted through an anonymous mobile phone number, but now his mobile phone number is suspended, and I can't contact him."

   "That is to say, you can't provide valuable clues to the police, or you don't want to say it."

   "No, I am willing to cooperate with the police. Although I don't know where they are, I know they may still be planning new operations."

   "What new action?"

   "New robbery."

   "You have robbed a lot of money, why are you planning a new robbery?"

   "The robbery this time was different from what we had expected.

  Before, when Soster planned the robbery, he guessed that the cash in the bank was at least 8 to 10 million U.S. dollars, and each person could get at least a million U.S. dollars.

When we opened the vault, there were only five million dollars in it, and half of them were new banknotes with consecutive numbers. Each of us only received more than four hundred thousand dollars. The harvest was much less than expected, and everyone became a wanted criminal. This made everyone feel a little dissatisfied.

  Franco Murphy even complained to Soest, feeling that he was fooled by him. "

  Marcus said, "Didn't you rob a lot of bank lockers? The things inside should be worth a lot of money, right?"

   "Yes, there are indeed a lot of valuable things in there, but the problem is that it is difficult to sell in a short time. Soest also warned us not to sell the stolen goods in a short time, otherwise it is likely to be tracked by the police.

   This is also one of the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Although we have obtained a lot of property, we can only watch it. "

   "The new robbery is still planned by Soest?"

"Yes."

   "What is the goal?"

   "I really don't know, Soest just told me to wait for news."

   "What's Soest's full name?"

   "I don't know, he's mysterious, I'm not even sure if his name is real or not."

   "Where is Marbury's full name?"

   "Marbury was found by him, I don't even know."

   "Do you have a picture of them?"

   "No, it's very taboo, I don't want to make trouble."

   Luke was silent for a moment, not knowing the full name, even the name may be fake, and there is no photo, it is difficult to determine the true identity of the other two robbers.

  There were a total of five robbers in the bank robbery. Now one robber was killed, two robbers were arrested and brought to justice, and two robbers are still at large.

   And the two fugitive robbers, one is the mastermind of the case, and the other killed the FBI agent with a bomb.

  If these two people are not caught in time, they may commit crimes again...

  Three suspects have already been arrested. They have crossed paths with each other before. Luke does not believe that there will be no clues about the other two suspects. There must be details that have been missed or not paid attention to.

   "What kind of car are they driving?"

   "A black Honda."

   "What's the license plate number?"

   "5leb322."

  Luke wrote down this important clue, and continued to ask, "How did you and Soest meet?"

   "Uh... it's a long story, we've known each other for years."

   "Have you worked together before?"

   "Sir, if you want to investigate a bank robbery, I have no reservations.

   But I really can't remember the past. We've known each other for a long time, and we haven't been in touch for a while. "

Even if the other party doesn't say anything, Luke knows that he must have a criminal record before. Jeran Gaddafi is positioned as an expert in lock picking. Being able to quickly open a bank safe shows that he is worthy of the title of expert. He must have opened a lot of locks before, otherwise he would practice No technology.

  Luke was not in a hurry to pursue his previous cases, and asked, "Since you haven't contacted for a long time, how did he find you?"

  Anonymous mobile phone numbers are only used during crimes and cannot be used as a tool for long-term contact.

   "He emailed me."

   "Where do you usually check your email?"

"cell phone."

   "Captain, here's his phone." Marcus handed Luke a transparent bag.

"What is the password?"

   "634522."

  Luke turned on the phone, found the mail box, and asked, "Is this the mail?"

   "Yes, he asked me to meet at the bar."

   "In other words, is the bar monitored?"

   "It seems to be there."

   "It seems that we have photos of the suspect." After Luke finished speaking, he handed the phone to the technical team. "Mary, check the address of this email, as soon as possible."

   "I also want to as soon as possible." Mary pointed to the house, "but I have to come one by one."

   Luke said, "Email address is preferred."

"as you wish."

  …

  The next morning.

  Robbery and Murder Division Office, First Squadron Office.

  Last night, two suspects were arrested. The on-site investigation lasted until midnight, and most of the stolen goods have been recovered.

  Early this morning, Luke was also praised by Reid, asking him to make persistent efforts and catch the remaining two fugitive suspects as soon as possible.

  However, Luke knew it would not be easy.

   After investigation, it was found that Soest was using a license plate car, and his identity could not be found at all.

  The mail uses the public network, and the value of tracking is not great.

  The bar surveillance captured the surveillance video of Soest, and it has been sent to the technical department for face recognition and database comparison.

   Time passes by every minute and every second...

   At two o'clock in the afternoon, after face data comparison, the identity of one of the suspects was finally confirmed.

  Name, Marbury Carr

Sex: Male

  Age, 36 years old

  Address, No. 202, Whateley Community

   Social Security Number, 623-53-7342

  Prior convictions, robbery, possession of dangerous goods

   License plate number, 3leb329

  Seeing the other party's previous convictions, Luke is basically sure that this is what they want to find bomb expert Marbury.

  The suspect may commit crimes again at any time, Luke did not wait, and took people directly to his address.

  Considering the special identity of the suspect, there may be a bomb at home, Luke made more thorough preparations this time.

   First, he applied for dog support, which can smell explosives.

  Secondly, Luke also borrowed a piece of high technology from the bomb disposal team.

  A remote control car equipped with a camera. The camera of this car can move and can see almost every corner of the room, which improves the security of the search.

  Of course, this tool also has disadvantages, such as not being able to check the cabinets and going upstairs, but it is quite practical for the current situation.

  Luke waited outside the house of the suspect Marbury Carr for two hours, but there was no movement.

  Considering that all departments are there and the equipment is already complete, Luke does not intend to wait any longer.

  First, the police opened the door, put the remote control car equipped with a camera in, and looked around the house, but found no suspicious persons or bombs.

  After the first layer of security was secured, the police in full gear and police dogs entered the room to search.

   "Wow woof..."

   After entering the bedroom, the police dog barked wildly at the cabinet door.

  No suspects found, but likely a bomb.

   Immediately, the police exited the house, and the bomb squad entered the bedroom...

  Ten minutes later, the bomb disposal team walked out of the house. There were indeed explosives and some bomb-making parts in the cabinet, but they were not assembled and there was no danger.

   Think about it too, unless there is a problem with the brain, who would install a bomb in his own home.

  The danger was lifted, and the police began to search the house further. From the explosives and the photos in the room, it was confirmed that this was indeed the home of the robber Marbury Carl, but according to the neighbors, they had not seen him in the past two days.

  The other party did not come home, indicating that there may be other hiding places, or preparations for the second robbery have already begun.

  Luke's sense of urgency grew stronger.

  Jackson shouted at the garage door, "Captain, I found something here."

  Luke walked over and saw a black Honda in the garage. It had a new license plate, but it should be the car the robbers were driving.

  Jackson said, "Captain, I checked the car's driving recorder and found a clue inside."

   "What clue?"

   "September 30 and October 2, this car followed the same person on the same road continuously." Jackson clicked on the video and played a video.

  In the video, a white woman is riding a bicycle. Although the distance is a bit far away, the video car has been following.

  Marcus laughed, "Is the robber secretly in love with this woman?"

   Luke guessed, "It may also be the next target of the robbers."

  Jackson gave a thumbs up, "Captain, we have an idea."

   "Is she the new target?" Marcus questioned, "Could this woman be richer than the bank?"

  Jackson laughed, "I don't know if she's richer than the bank, but her bike is more expensive than your Toyota."

  Xiao Hei "..."

   Ten thousand words, make up for yesterday’s omission.

   Much easier.
