Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 312 case closed (Happy National Day everyone!)

   "Why use the word out of control? Have you known each other for a long time?"

"Yes."

   "How did you meet? What is the relationship?"

   "He is my bodyguard and sometimes helps me with some private matters."

  Jenny said, "Didn't you publicly say that you don't have bodyguards?"

  Muriel Baldini glanced at Jenny, "You have to know that no matter how well you do, there will always be people in this world who don't like you.

  Business is the same. There are profits and losses. If you want to make money, you have to bear the corresponding risks. However, there are always people who can’t figure this out. They think that the company has an obligation to help them make money after investing money in our company. Once they lose money, they will cause trouble.

  If there is no bodyguard secretly protecting, how can I ride a bicycle to and from get off work at will. "

  Luke asked, "Sost will drive you to work every day?"

   "Sometimes it's Marbury, he's also my bodyguard."

  Jenny was puzzled, "There are so many bodyguards, why did you hire two bad guys as bodyguards?"

  Muriel Baldini said, "As you said, in order to maintain my image of being close to the public, it is impossible for me to claim that I have bodyguards.

  Although Souther and Marbury have criminal records, they are only for money in the final analysis. As long as I give enough money, they will work for me with peace of mind. "

  Luke knew that Muriel Baldini was not telling the truth, and her purpose of choosing these two people as bodyguards was not pure.

  Muriel Baldini's company should be problematic, Jakobo Johnston's situation may not be an exception, and these two bodyguards should help him do the dirty work.

  Jenny asked, "You say you like environmentally friendly means of transportation, but you have three luxury cars parked in your garage, and you say you don't have bodyguards, but you instruct your bodyguards to hurt others.

   I didn't expect you to be such a hypocrite, what else is fake about you? "

   "Sorry to disappoint you.

  I don't want to deceive people, but many people in this world like...similar images and like to drink chicken soup.

  Since portraying a similar image would help my career, why not? "

   Luke stared at Muriel Baldini and asked, "Ms. Baldini, I have been observing your expression and found that you have not had much emotional fluctuations from beginning to end. Can you tell me how you did it?"

  “I have taken professional emotional management courses, which are the basic qualities of a successful businessman. In addition, I have also done micro-plastic surgery to make the facial lines look more friendly, and it is easier to make customers feel good.

  If you need it, I can recommend it for you. "

   "No, I can't use it." Luke understood why he couldn't see through the other party's lies. Emotional management is one aspect, but plastic surgery may be more important.

  After plastic surgery, the facial muscles will be stiff and uncoordinated, which will have a certain impact on the observation of micro-expressions.

   "What's going on between you and Jacob Johnston?"

   “Contradiction at work.”

   "Describe in detail."

   "Uh... the company's recent operations have encountered some problems, and the company's senior management and I are doing our best to deal with them. As long as I proceed according to my plan, there is a way to make a smooth transition and turn the crisis into safety.

  However, Jacob Johnston had a different idea. He was very stubborn and did not know how to work around. He stole a lot of materials from the company and even threatened me to give these materials to the media.

  As long as these negative news are made public, it may ruin the company. I can't let this happen, so I let Soest solve it. "

   "Ms. Baldini, we have obtained a document from Soest. The owner of the document is Jacob Johnston. He has a different view on the company's situation than you."

   "Did you find that document?"

   "Yes, do you want to listen to it?" Luke took out a document from the folder and read,

   "This decision is very difficult for me. I don't want to do something wrong to the company, and I don't want my colleagues to lose their jobs, but if I turn a blind eye, the interests of customers will be damaged, and my conscience will be disturbed.

  The company has had some problems recently. To be precise, I have long had doubts about some of the company's practices, but the company's recent financial crisis has completely lifted the fig leaf.

  I can no longer lie to myself, not just about work ethic, if I say nothing, it makes me feel like a fraud.

  That’s right, a scammer.

  I found that the company has always had the problem of misappropriating customers' funds. At first, the problem was not serious, and later, new customers' money was used to make up for old customers' money, but if this continues, problems will arise sooner or later.

Therefore, the company's top management decided to make false accounts and use 'legal' means to transfer losses to customers. Some disputes may arise in a short period of time, but as long as they are willing to spend money, buy the media, and gain the upper hand in public opinion, they will not harm the company. reputation is affected.

   It's horrible, I can't believe this is the company I work for.

   If I don't expose these things, I will be condemned by my conscience for the rest of my life.

   Jacob Johnston. "

   "Lying, he is lying, the company is not what he said, he must have a brain problem."

   Luke said, "I have already handed over that information to the Economic Crime Division."

  Muriel Baldini closed her eyes, her cheeks twitched irregularly, "This company is my painstaking effort, I have paid a lot for this company, I can't just watch him destroy the company..."

  Luke said, "Is it because of this obsession that you decided to rob the bank?"

   "No, as I said before, the bank robbery has nothing to do with me, I don't know at all. Soest told me about it after he robbed the bank."

   "Then do you know about Jacob Johnston putting the documents in the bank locker?"

"have no idea."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"That's not what Soster said. According to him, after receiving your instructions, he and Marbury Carr acted together and asked Jacob Johnston's home to find out the whereabouts of the documents. They are still in the safe. Got the key and asked the combination of the safe.

  Then, the two took Jacob Johnston into the field and killed him.

  The FBI has taken Soest to identify the scene, and he can't lie about this. Luke paused and continued, "According to Soest, after getting the key and password of the bank locker, he will tell you about it.

Because Marbury Carr and Jacob Johnston have similar physical characteristics, you let Marbury take the ID to pretend to be Jacob Johnston and go to the bank locker to get things. After entering the vault, Marbury tried Open the locker, the key is real but the code prompt is wrong.

  According to bank regulations, if the password is wrong three times, the identity of the locker owner must be checked.

  Marbury only tried once and ran out quickly.

The three of you discussed and suspected that Jacob Johnston gave a fake password, but Jacob Johnston has been killed by you, and you have no way to get the new password. You are facing Soest Complained a pass.

  Sost proposed to rob the bank, and you agreed. "

   "He lied, I didn't know it at all." Muriel Baldini's tone was firm.

Luke took out a group of photos and put them in front of Muriel Baldini, "This is the monitoring of the Bank of North Hollywood, and the monitoring time is exactly when Marbury pretended to be Jacob Johnston and went to the bank locker The date the item was picked up.

At that time, you ran outside the bank to wait for the information in the first place. This is your Maserati car. Although you did not get out of the car, the camera still captured the scene of you sitting in the cab. This shows that you know that the information is hidden in the bank. The bank also knew about Soest's actions to rob the bank.

   You lied. "

  Muriel Baldini sighed, "I regret it, I should have called a lawyer."

   "If you really regret it, you shouldn't do something illegal and criminal."

   “Sometimes people are in a position, even if you don’t want to do it, you have to do it.”

   "Tell me about the night you were 'kidnapped'."

"I do not want to say."

   "Then let's talk about the FBI agent being killed."

   "This matter has nothing to do with me, don't try to push it on me again."

   "Then let's talk about your being 'kidnapped'."

   "Huh..." Muriel Baldini sighed, "After Soest and the others robbed the bank, things got serious.

  At the beginning, I didn't dare to contact them rashly.

  Later, they said they wanted to go out for a while, and they wanted to meet me before going.

  I said yes and gave them some cash.

  After we met, I asked him about the materials, and he said they had been destroyed.

  Before I had time to be happy, you guys also tracked down the past, and things got out of hand.

  The three of us made up our minds and decided that I would drive them out. You all know what happened afterwards. "

  Jenny said, "Ms. Baldini, I didn't expect you to be with someone like Soest."

  Muriel Baldini laughed, "Officer Jenny, I'm not as good as you think, and Soster is not as bad as you think.

  I'm sure I can control him.

  Actually, I'm curious why he betrayed me. "

  Jenny said, "He has always had something against you."

  Muriel Baldini didn't take it seriously, "It's just a means of self-protection, I can understand.

   But I can't figure out what method you use to make him betray me. Even if the lawyer turns his back on you, as long as Soest doesn't come forward to make a confession, you still won't be able to obtain evidence. "

  Jenny asked, "Why do you believe that Soest will not identify you?"

   "For the crimes committed by Soest, regardless of whether he betrayed me or not, he will be sentenced to death, and he will spend the rest of his life in prison.

   And I can secretly take care of him and his family. "

   "It's a good idea, but the plan can't keep up with the changes." Luke said perfunctorily, and didn't say much.

  If it was a routine interrogation, there is a high probability that Soest would not identify Muriel Baldini. From this perspective, Luke really has to thank Anthony, otherwise it would be difficult to open a breakthrough in the interrogation.

  This also shows the importance of mutual cooperation. There are many people and strength, and it is not a good habit to eat alone.

  …

  7 o'clock in the evening, Marcus' house.

  The case has been solved, and everyone who has been busy for several days can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

  Marcus invited everyone to dinner at home, and also took this opportunity to officially introduce Julian to everyone.

  The two have already obtained the certificate and become an official couple, but the wedding has not yet been held.

  After everyone rushed to Marcus's house, Julian greeted them at the gate of the yard, "Everyone, I'm glad you can attend the party."

   "Julian, you look beautiful today, this blue dress suits you very well." Luke handed over a bag of red wine, "This is a gift for you."

   "Thank you." Julian took it with a smile.

  Xiao Hei said, "Julian, let me introduce you. This is Chief Reid. He has been taking good care of me in the police station."

   "Hello, Director Rhett."

  Rett smiled, "Hello, Mrs. Burnett.

   I just heard the news that Marcus got married, and I still can't believe it.

   This guy is... kind of tough.

  I have always wondered what kind of woman can subdue him.

  I finally met today. "

   "Wow, hearing you say that, I suddenly feel very powerful."

  Rett also handed over a gift box, "I wish you a happy wedding."

"Thanks."

  Xiao Hei stood aside and introduced his colleagues to Julian one by one.

   Among them, have you met Julian, such as the deputy team and Matthew.

  The rest of the colleagues had met Julian face to face, but it was not a formal acquaintance, so Xiao Hei introduced him again.

  At around 7:10, David also arrived by car, and all the party guests were present.

  Marcus didn’t invite Susan after much consideration. It’s not that he doesn’t respect her, but this is a temporary invitation. After all, Susan has gone to another department and may not have time to attend.

   Wait until the wedding to invite her.

  Everyone set up an oven in the yard and ate barbecue.

  The ingredients are purchased by Julian, including beef, mutton, chicken, various seafood, and some vegetables.

   Soon under the charcoal fire, the steak sizzled and the aroma was overflowing.

"cheers."

  Everyone celebrated with beer.

  Rett put down his wine glass and said, "Everyone, this bank robbery was done well, and the FBI's limelight was overwhelmed by you.

  I didn't expect that there would be a mastermind behind the case. "

   "Muriel Baldini is very cunning, she has an agreement with Soest, even if Soest is caught by the police, she will not easily confess him.

  In exchange, she will support Soest and Soest's daughter for a long time.

  Jackson has a lot to do with discovering something wrong with Muriel Baldini this time. " Luke ate a piece of beef and continued,

   "Director, the statements of Muriel Baldini and Soest basically match.

   Jakob Johnston's murder and North Hollywood bank robbery have been solved.

  The reason why Muriel Baldini wanted to deal with Jakobo Johnston was because Jakobo wanted to report some problems in the company.

  I recommend the transfer of Muriel Baldini to the Economic Crimes Division. "

  Rett nodded, "You can contact the Economic Crime Division."

  Xiao Hei came over with an iron plate, and put the roasted meat into the plate, "Guys, we've been working on a case all day, and we finally got off work, why don't we talk about some light topics."

  David smiled, "Good idea, why don't you talk about your newlywed life, how do you feel?"

  Xiao Hei sat down next to him, "Good, it feels great. I get hot coffee and breakfast every morning. No matter how late I come home at night, the lights are on. It's very warm.

  I am enjoying my life now. "

  David raised his glass, "Man, congratulations, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to be the first among us to get married."

  Jenny said, "I didn't expect that either."

  The deputy said, "Me too."

  Matthew said, "And me."

  Xiao Hei glanced back and whispered, "Actually, I didn't expect..."

   "Haha..." Everyone laughed.

  "Life is inherently impermanent, if everything counts, then life will have no fun at all.

  Marriage is also a growth for men. "Red raised his glass, "Inspector Marcus, congratulations on having a perfect family. "

   "Thank you, Chief." Xiao Hei also raised his glass, "However, Chief...Detective, I am still a detective."

   "Are you sure?" Reid smiled, and looked at Luke aside, "Captain, did I remember wrongly, or did Inspector Marcus remember wrongly?"

  Luke also laughed, "Director, how could you be wrong, Inspector Marcus made a mistake."

  Xiao Hei reacted, showing a look of surprise, "God, Inspector Marcus! I've been promoted!

   Did you hear that? I'm a detective now! "

   "Director, Captain, thank you so much...I'm so happy, I don't even know what to say."

  Rett said, "Marcus, I have always seen your ability, you are an indispensable part of the team, but your shortcomings are also obvious, not stable enough, and do things casually.

  You decided to get married and start a new family, which shows that you have a sense of responsibility and responsibility, and you want to become a husband and father, which proves that you are more stable than before.

  Inspector's job is well deserved. "

   "Director, thank you for your approval. I always thought..." Xiao Hei is an emotional person, with red eyes. As a black police officer, he has always had a natural feeling of closeness to Director Reid.

   But this sense of intimacy has not been responded to. He is very envious of the relationship between Rhett and Luke. Now that Rhett said something, Xiao Hei feels warm. It turns out that Rhett has been paying attention to himself.

  The deputy team also said, "Wow, Inspector Marcus, it sounds a little uncomfortable."

   "Inspector Marcus, congratulations." The other team members congratulated.

   "Thank you." Marcus responded with a smile, drank a drink with everyone, and ran to Julian who was preparing the vegetable salad.

   "Hey baby, did you hear that?

  I got a promotion.

   I'm Inspector Marcus now! "

   It’s the end of the month, book friends who have a monthly pass, don’t forget to vote.
