Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 351 Interview

   Luke observed the other person's expression and asked, "Ma'am, do you know Danny Carter?"

   "Yes, a strong black guy, and now his news is all on TV."

   "Did you see Danny Carter in the community on the night of November 18?"

"No."

  Luke felt that the other party was lying, and tried, "But Danny Carter said that he seemed to have seen you at that time."

  The black aunt asked back, "Are you sure?"

   "Yes, that's what he said."

   "It seems that our conversation should be over." The black aunt tilted her head, as if seeing off the guests.

  Daisy said sincerely, "Madam, please wait a moment.

  I am Danny Carter's lawyer, who is now falsely accused and in a desperate situation.

need your help. "

  The black aunt shook her head, "Stop joking.

  He is a star, he is a rich man, I can't imagine his life.

  Look at my life again...

  I don't think I'm in a position to help him. "

  Daisy said, "Danny Carter is also black. He grew up in a slum, and his growing environment is far inferior to this community.

  He made it through his own efforts to become a football player, you should be very clear about how difficult it is for a black kid.

  Danny Carter is not the kind of person you think. He has been funding the friends and relatives who grew up with him. He is not the same as those cold-blooded rich people.

   Now, he has encountered the biggest dilemma in his life, and he also needs a just person to help him overcome the difficulties.

  Ma'am, only you can help him now. "

  The black aunt showed hesitation, looked around, "Come in."

  The furniture in the house of the black aunt is a little old, but it was cleaned very clean. Luke was invited to sit on the sofa, "What do you want to drink?"

   "Thank you ma'am, we don't need anything." Luke politely declined, and asked again, "Did you meet Danny Carter on the night of November 18?"

  The black aunt nodded, "Yes, he is not tall but very energetic."

   "Was he with Billie Warwick at the time?"

"Yes.

   That car was beautiful, and I was a little surprised to see Billie Warwick get down from the passenger compartment of the car. "

   "Can you describe their body movements and attitude?"

  " After Billie Warwick got out of the car, she walked in and opened the door first, and Danny Carter also walked in.

  Probably like this...

  I didn't watch it too carefully at the time, after all, it was a private matter of others, it would be impolite to stare at it all the time. "

   "Has Danny Carter ever forced Billie Warwick?"

"No."

   "Danny Carter's car was stolen. The dash cam in the car may prove his innocence. We need to get that Porsche back. Did you see the scene where the car was stolen?"

"No."

   “Did you see any suspicious people around before the car was stolen?”

   "Uh..." The black aunt showed hesitation, looked at Luke, then at Daisy, "Are you really not the police?"

  Daisy took out a business card, "My name is Daisy, and there are my contact information and law firm on it."

  The black aunt took the business card and nodded, "I did see a suspicious person nearby that night, looking at Billie Warwick's house with a mysterious look.

   However, I didn't see him stealing the car. "

  Luke asked, "Did you tell the police about this?"

"No.

  I didn't see the man stealing the car.

   Also, my son is still in jail and I don't trust the police.

   You don’t want to tell the outside world, I won’t admit it when I go out.

  That's all I know, and I can't help you with the rest. "The black aunt acted like I didn't want to cause trouble.

   Luke asked, "Ma'am, does that suspicious man have transportation?"

"No."

   "Can you describe what he looks like?"

   "He was a black man. It was dark at the time, and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his hairstyle was rather special, with dirty braids and the left side of his hair was shaved."

  Luke pressed, "How tall is he? How old is he?"

   "It looks like he's only in his twenties or thirties, about the same height as you."

   "What kind of clothes were you wearing?"

   "It looks like a black top and dark blue jeans." After the black aunt finished speaking, she asked, "Are you really not a policeman?"

   "I'm a detective."

  Daisy took out her wallet and handed the other three hundred dollars, "Madam, thank you for your help."

   "Whoa... what does that mean?"

   "It's a little thank you from Danny Carter, I will ask him to reimburse him."

  The black aunt showed gratitude, "Thank you, I am sure that you are not the police. Not only will the police not give you money, but they may even arrest me."

  Daisy glanced at Luke and smiled, "Ma'am, you are so humorous."

  After the two left the house, Daisy asked, "Any thoughts?"

  Luke said, "That black man with dirty braids sounds suspicious.

  Although I don't know his name and appearance, but his hairstyle is quite special, so it is relatively easy to be recognized. "

   "Where do we go now?"

   "Continue to visit, maybe we can get more clues."

  The two visited until the evening, but luck seemed to have run out, and the neighbors failed to provide more valuable clues.

   The two had dinner at an Italian restaurant and then returned to Daisy's house.

  Daisy's house is bigger and more comfortable, and has a big bathtub that can accommodate two people.

  After taking the mandarin duck bath, Luke rested on the bed and played with his mobile phone.

  Daisy put on her pajamas and sat at the table looking at the computer.

   Luke asked, "Is there work to be done?"

   "Go to bed first."

   "Did the visit in the afternoon delay your work?"

   "No, I just want to see what's new on the Internet.

   Celebrity health care cases like this one have received a lot of attention, and many reporters will do follow-up reports.

  The pervasive reporters are likely to dig out some valuable clues. As lawyers, we should always pay attention to the trend of online public opinion. "

   "I'll help you find it together." Luke checked the news on the tablet.

In the past, Luke used the police method to investigate and rarely paid too much attention to the news media. The reason is very simple. The detective hired by Carter, Luke has yet to have direct contact with Billie Warwick.

This case has attracted a lot of attention, and many reporters interviewed it. They have their own news channels, and they may be able to find some valuable clues. Of course, for the sake of ratings, the news broadcast by reporters and TV stations will also be somewhat watery and exaggerated. Whether it is worth adopting requires your own experience and judgment.

  There are many and varied news reports about Danny Carter on the Internet.

  Some reporters even found out about Danny Carter staying in the hotel, and tried to break into the hotel room for an interview, but were persuaded to return by the hotel staff.

  Danny Carter lives in a hotel and stays at home. The reporter can't see anyone and can't interview.

Some reporters also targeted Billie Warwick and monitored her every move near Billie Warwick's house. However, Billie Warwick did not leave the house for the past two days and refused. All media interviews.

  The reporters are not idle, they will still make some messy reports.

  Interview with Danny Carter's family and team, even the fans.

   There were also interviews with Billie Warwick's neighbors and the place where she worked, and someone followed her boyfriend and tried to interview her boyfriend's feelings.

  Luke felt that this reporter was either heartless or wicked.

  However, people are curious, and Luke also wants to know what Billie Warwick's boyfriend thinks.

   Click on the news video and find that the reporter first approached Billie Warwick's boyfriend, but the other party refused to interview him. The reporter was not discouraged, and went to the place where Billie Warwick's boyfriend worked to interview.

  By interviewing Billie Warwick's boyfriend's co-workers, he learned that her boyfriend worked the night shift at a 24-hour convenience store, which explains why her boyfriend wasn't home that night.

   While interviewing a convenience store employee, a scene suddenly flashed, and Luke found a suspicious black man.

  This black man has dreadlocks and shaved hair on the left side, which is very close to the suspicious man image described by the black aunt.

  The black man with dreadlocks is wearing the overalls of a convenience store. He is probably a colleague of Billie Warwick's boyfriend. The suspicion of the black man with dreadlocks has further risen.

  Since the man with dreadlocks is a co-worker of Billie Warwick's boyfriend, why would he go around Billie Warwick's boyfriend's house when he is on night shift?

   Could it be that Billie Warwick's boyfriend had already discovered that she might hook up with other men, so he asked his colleagues to catch her?

   No, it doesn't make sense, a normal person would not do such a thing.

  Then the behavior of this man with dreadlocks is even more suspicious.

  …

  The next morning.

  Luke arrived early in the morning near the convenience store where Billie Warwick's boyfriend Reido Geithner worked.

  A black Ford sedan was parked in a parking space near the convenience store.

   A black man got out of the car, in his twenties, about the same height as Luke, with dreadlocks and shaved hair on the left side. It was the suspicious man Luke was looking for.

  Luke stepped forward and greeted, "Hey, buddy, I'm a reporter from csxb radio station, can I give you a brief interview?"

   "Interview with what? About Reido Geithner?"

   "Yes, do you know his girlfriend Billie Warwick?"

   "Ugh... a hot, fun girl."

   "What do you think of her relationship with Reido Geithner?"

  The black man with dreadlocks smiled, "I don't want to be on TV, especially in this way."

  Luke said, "Actually, I'm a radio reporter. I don't have video or recording. I just want to know something privately.

   Many radio listeners love gossip like this. "

  The man with dreadlocks shrugged, "I also like to listen to gossip, but I have to go to work now."

  Luke took out his wallet and handed the other fifty dollars, "Dude, I'll just take up your time for a while, not too long."

  The man with dreadlocks looked at Luke's wallet and licked his lips, "One is not enough."

  Luke pulled out another fifty.

   "At least two hundred dollars."

  Luke pretended to be in pain, "It's too expensive."

   "Hey, there are many reporters who want to interview me. This is big news. I won't say anything without two hundred dollars." The man with dreadlocks asked for it.

  Luke took out a total of two hundred dollars and handed it to the other party, "I hope your news is worth two hundred dollars."

  The man with dreadlocks put away the cash and said with a smile, "What do you want to ask?"

   "How's your relationship with Reido Geithner?"

  “We are not only colleagues, but also good friends. I was desperate, had no job, and almost became a homeless man. He introduced me to this job.”

   "What do you think of the relationship between Billie Warwick and Redo Geithner?"

  “They have been dating for more than a year, and their relationship is very stable. As far as I know, they even have plans to get engaged. Unfortunately, such a thing happened…”

   "Did you know about the case where Billie Warwick was raped by football player Danny Carter?"

   "Of course, this is big news."

   "According to relevant news reports, Danny Carter did not strengthen Billie Warwick. The two did it out of their own will. What do you think?"

  "Impossible, Billie Warwick is not that kind of woman, she has a deep relationship with Raymond Geithner, and she will never do anything to betray Raymond Geithner.

  Redo Geithner spends most of his time with his girlfriend except for work.

  I heard Reido Geithner say that his girlfriend had too much to drink that night, and the **** offered to take her home.

  She was a fan of that bastard, so she didn't refuse.

  In the end, that **** took advantage of her and bullied her.

  Things are as simple as that, Danny Carter is a strong offender.

   If he wasn't a rich man, he would have been convicted, instead of living in a fancy hotel and enjoying himself.

this is not fair. "

  Luke tentatively said, "From your tone, it seems that you know Billie Warwick very well? Are you two also friends?"

   "Reido Geithner and I are good friends, we often get together, and Billie Warwick sometimes comes.

   Yes, we are friends too.

  I felt sorry for what happened to her.

  If I see it, I will beat that **** Danny Carter. "

  Luke continued to probe, "I heard that Danny Carter drove a Porsche 911 when he sent Billie Warwick home, and later I heard that the car was stolen. Do you know about this?"

   "Sorry, I don't know much about this matter." The man with dreadlocks frowned slightly, crossing his chest with his hands.

   "It's a pity, it's a good car, I've always wanted to buy a Porsche 911, but never got a chance to test drive it.

   Have you ever driven a Porsche 911? "

   "I drove it once...in a dream." The man with dreadlocks smiled and changed the topic, "Dude, today's interview is over, I should go to work."

   "I don't know your name yet?"

   "You don't need to know." The black man with dreadlocks waved his hand and entered the convenience store.

  Luke took a photo of his Ford sedan. As long as there is a license plate number, it is not difficult to find the identity and information of the owner.

  Luke is also very curious, what role did this black man with dreadlocks play in this incident?
