Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 481 On track

  Jackson said, "Could Sandy Pope lie because it was related to the kidnapping?

  Deliberately misleading the police to investigate the case. "

  Xiao Hei suggested, "Should we take her back to the police station? No matter whether she is related to the kidnapping case or not, she should know who Isa Redman's new boyfriend is."

  The deputy team thought for a while, then shook his head, "I don't think this is a good idea, the reason why Sandy Pope lied, I think there are three possibilities.

  The first possibility is that she drank a lot of wine that night and had a good time. She forgot what the victim Isa Redman said, and she did not intend to lie.

The second possibility is that the superficial relationship between Sandy Pope and Isa Redman is very good, but in fact Sandy Pope doesn't like Isa Redman very much. Possibly a sneaky schadenfreude.

  I have seen too many similar "good sisters", their inner thoughts are terrible, and they can't see the light at all.

  The third possibility is that Sandy Pope is indeed related to the kidnapping case, and may even be a participant in the kidnapping case.

  But we have no evidence to convict her now, even if we bring her back to the police station for questioning, she will use the first or second possible explanation.

   At that time, we can only let her go, and the result will only be alarming. "

  Luke nodded, "The deputy team is right, it is really not suitable to bring Sandy Pope to the police station for questioning at this stage.

  I think we can secretly investigate Sandy Pope first to confirm whether she is related to the kidnapping case. Director, what do you think? "

  Read said, "It is right to be cautious, but the investigation cannot be restrained.

  Isa Redman has been kidnapped for more than 48 hours. This case must find a breakthrough in the investigation as soon as possible. "

  Luke continued to analyze, "Since Isa Redman didn't tell her parents about her new boyfriend, it's either because she hasn't been with her for a long time or there are other reasons.

  This shows that not many people know that she has a new boyfriend.

  However, if she doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that no one knows, such as that Korean student Park Jae-young.

  He has been paying attention to Isa Redman's every move.

  I think if Isa Redman has a new boyfriend, he might be aware of it, maybe know the identity of the new boyfriend. "

  The deputy team said, "I also paid attention to that Korean student Park Jae Young. Isa Redman left the party at eleven o'clock in the evening, and the Korean student left after the party.

  He should not have time to commit crimes, I think you can try to contact him. "

   "OK, then what are we waiting for?" Xiao Hei stood up, "Yesterday was the record I made for him, and I know where to find him."

  …

  Daikin Supermarket.

  A black Ford commercial vehicle parked at the door.

  Luke habitually observed the situation outside through the car window, and got out of the car after making sure that there was no suspicious person.

  According to the information Xiao Hei got, Park Jae Young often comes to this supermarket to work part-time besides going to school.

   It is not appropriate to go to the school to investigate now, and it is likely to expose the police.

  If the news reaches the ears of the robbers, it will increase the possibility of ticket tearing.

  So, Luke chose the supermarket as the location of the inquiry.

  In order to avoid too many people and big targets, Luke only brought Xiao Hei into the supermarket.

   This is a Korean supermarket. There are many Asian faces in the supermarket, and Xiao Hei's ability to distinguish suddenly dropped a lot.

   The two walked around the supermarket and saw an Asian young man standing near the kimchi freezer. Xiao Hei stared at him for a while, "That's right, it's him."

  Luke tilted his head slightly, signaling for Xiao Hei to step forward.

  Xiao Hei swayed and walked over, looking very casual, "Hey, buddy, do you still know me?"

  Park Jae Young looked at Marcus and nodded, "Yes, you are Inspector Marcus."

  “That’s right, a handsome man like me is easy to remember

   Dude, can I talk to you? "

  Park Jae-young glanced at Luke, "Do you want to ask about Isa Redman?"

   "Yes, we'd like to know something about her."

  Park Jae Young nodded, "Wait for me, I'll go talk to the store manager."

   A few minutes later, Lu Ke and Park Jae-young got into the commercial vehicle with them.

  Park Jae Young asked impatiently, "Is there any news about Isa Redman? Is she still safe?"

   "Sorry, it's not that we don't believe you, but for the safety of Isa Redman, we cannot disclose the case to the outside world."

   "OK, I understand, how can I help you?"

  The business car has a lot of space, Luke leaned back and changed into a comfortable position, "Do you know Sandy Pope?"

   "Of course, we are all classmates."

   "What's Sandy Pope and Isa Redman's relationship like?"

   "Very good, the two of them are often together."

   Luke stared at the other person's expression, and asked tentatively, "Is there any conflict between them?"

   "Uh... I don't know much about that."

   "Does Isa Redman have a boyfriend?"

   "She had a boyfriend before, but it's been a while since they broke up."

   "What I want to ask is, does she have a new boyfriend now?"

  Park Jae-young bit his lip and nodded slightly, "I don't know what to say...she really got close to a man recently.

   But she hasn’t made it public, and I don’t know if they’re going to continue…”

  Luke pressed, "Do you know that man?"

   "Yes, I've seen him a few times. He is also from our school, older than us, and he is on the school football team."

"What's his name?"

   "Rodney Jacob."

   "Do you know any other clues about Rodney Jacob? For example, contact information or his home address?"

   “I know his Facebook. I added him, we are friends now, and he is a very chatty guy.”

   Luke affirmed, "This clue is very important, can you let me see his Facebook?"

"certainly."

  Park Jae-young found Rodney Jacob's Facebook with his mobile phone.

   This is a black guy in his twenties, tall and strong, with a smile on his face and big white teeth.

  Luke clicked on his personal news, and Xiao Hei was also watching.

  Most of these dynamics were taken at school, and there are many photos of football training.

   There are also some family photos.

Xiao Hei pointed to a family photo and said, "The background of this photo is very familiar." He took the mobile phone to zoom in on the picture and observed it carefully, "That's right, the background is very similar to the community where Isa Redman held a party and her classmates lived , Mormont Community."

  Luke also carefully observed this photo. It should have been taken in the yard of Rodney Jacob's house, which meant that Rodney Jacob also lived in the Mormont community.

   This explains why the police did not find the suspect vehicle in the surveillance, because Isa Redman probably didn't take the car, but went directly to Rodney Jacob's house.

  Park Jae-young gritted his teeth and said, "Did Rodney Jacob kidnap Isa Redman? Why did he do that?"

   Luke glanced at him. This guy probably likes Isa Redman, considering that he is prone to impulsive things at his age.

Luke explained, "We are only investigating the whereabouts of Isa Redman. Even if Isa Redman and Rodney Jacob met, it does not mean that Rodney Jacob and the kidnapping related to the case."

  Park Jae Young took a deep breath, "Isa Redman went to Rodney Jacob's house that night?"

   "We don't know either, we won't know until we confirm."

  Park Jae-young waved his hands, showing a self-deprecating expression, "No need to confirm, it must be like this."

  Xiao Hei patted him on the shoulder, "Dude, do you like Isa Redman?"

   "Is it important now? She has a new boyfriend." Park Jae-young shook his head.

  Little underworld, "Listen, I don't know you very well, and I don't know Isa Redman very well, and I don't know the way you get along.

  However, I know one thing very well, if you love someone, you must speak out bravely.

   Anyway, you have no relationship, even if she rejects you, you have nothing to lose.

   And your heart will be much more comfortable.

   On the contrary, if you don't take the initiative, other boys will take the initiative. You haven't even said it, so how do you know that she won't choose you. "

  Park Jae Young sighed, "I understand everything you say, but understanding and doing are completely different things, it's really not that easy.

   And Isa Redman is kidnapped now, and I'm really worried about her.

  If she comes back safely, I will definitely tell her and let her know... I have liked her for a long time. "

   "You did the right thing." Xiao Hei stretched out his hand and made a high five.

  However, Park Jae-young was in a bad mood and did not respond.

  Xiao Hei withdrew his hand in embarrassment, "OK, you can continue to work part-time, and we will continue to investigate the case."

  Park Jae-young nodded, got out of the car, and looked back, "Hey, if there is anything I need to do, just ask."

   "We will." Xiao Hei closed the car door, shook his head and said, "He has no tacit understanding or interest. I wouldn't like him."

  Luke contacted Matthew, confirmed the specific location of Rodney Jacob's house, and then drove to Rodney Jacob's house.

  The linear distance between Rodney Jacob’s house and the place where the party was held is only a few hundred meters, and it takes only a few minutes to walk there. This is why the police have not found the missing trace of Isa Redman.

  Rodney Jacob's house is a gray two-story villa with a football model in the yard. Luke saw it on his Facebook, so he can be sure that this is his home.

   At this time, it was already evening, and the lights in the villa were turned on.

  Xiao Hei stood at the gate of the courtyard and rang the doorbell, "Ding Dong."

   After a while, the video doorbell opened, revealing the face of a black man, "This is Jacob's house, who are you looking for?"

  Xiao Hei showed his police badge, "lapd, Mr. Jacob, we want to talk to you."

   Rodney Jacob shrugged, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

  Xiao Hei suggested, "Why don't you open the door, let's talk face to face."

   "OK, please come in."

  The courtyard door opened, and Luke and Xiao Hei walked into the courtyard, walking along the stone bricks to the door.

  At the same time, Luke was also observing the situation in the yard, and there was a blue sports car at the door.

  The door opened, and Rodney Jacob stood at the door, "Two police officers, what do you want from me? I have an appointment tonight, and I'm going out later."

  Luke flashed his police badge, "Mr. Rodney Jacob, do you know Isa Redman?"

   "Yes, we are at the same school, what happened to her?"

   "What is your relationship?"

  Rodney Jacob shrugged, "Friendship, what's the problem?"

   "When was the last time you saw her?"

   "Hey..." Rodney Jacob waved his hand and took a step back, "What happened? I don't like your way of asking questions.

  Why on earth are you coming to my house? If you don't make it clear, I can only ask you to leave. "

  Luke said, "We want to know something about Isa Redman."

   "Then why don't you go to her directly, but come to my house to ask, which makes me feel very strange."

   Luke stared at his expression, "Isa Redman has been kidnapped."

   "What? Kidnapped!

  God, is what you said true? "Rodney Jacob showed a shocked look, and Luke didn't feel like he was faking it.

   "Yes, that's why we're here. When was the last time you saw her?"

  Rodney Jacob thought for a while, then sighed, "March 11th."

   "Exact time? Where did you meet? What did you do?"

   "Hey, I really don't like this questioning style, do I need to call a lawyer?"

  Xiao Hei glanced around and whispered, "Dude, Isa Redman has been kidnapped, every minute of delay is more dangerous.

   Do you want your lawyer to kill her? "

   "Listen, her kidnapping has nothing to do with me."

"We didn't say that this matter was related to you, but we were just investigating her whereabouts before she disappeared." Luke raised his eyebrows and pointed to the police car outside, "If we think it has something to do with you, we have already arrested you in the police car .

  You just need to tell the story of meeting and getting along with Isa Redman. "

  Rodney Jacob thought for a while, stepped aside, "Please come in."

  Luke and Xiao Hei entered Rodney Jacob's house, and the living room was very luxuriously decorated.

  Xiao Hei showed envy, "Dude, what do you do? Can you live in such a nice house?"

   "You should ask my dad what he does." Rodney Jacob pointed to the photo on the coffee table, "This is our group photo."

  Xiao Hei glanced at the photo, "Matri Jacob, the receiver of the Rams, I remember watching his games when I was a teenager, and I haven't seen him since."

"He's retired, and he should be on a certain island for vacation now." Rodney Jacob sat on the sofa, "OK, let's talk about Isa Redman's situation. When was she kidnapped? "

   "This is also what we want to investigate." Luke explained in order to lower his vigilance, "We are inquiring about the situation with Isa Redman's friends, and you are one of them.

   This is why we ask you two about getting along.

   This is very important to her, I hope you can answer truthfully. "

  Rodney Jacob licked his thick lips, "At about eleven o'clock in the evening on March 11, she arrived at my home.

  We chatted for a while, drank some red wine, and then started playing poker.

   It was a wild night.

  The next morning, we had breakfast together, and around nine o'clock, I drove her away. "

   "After that, have you seen her?"

"No."

   "Is there still contact between you?"

   "No, I have contacted her, but I have been unable to contact her. I thought I was blocked by her."

   "You and Isa Redman separated on the morning of March 12th, and now it is the evening of March 14th.

  You can't contact her for so long, as her boyfriend, you are not worried at all? Have you thought about calling the police? "

   "No, I'm not his boyfriend.

  I’ll admit it…we had a great time, we did, and only did, and we haven’t committed yet.

  I... thought she was not satisfied that night, so she blocked me.

  A woman who ignores me, why should I talk to her.

   I didn't expect her to be kidnapped...

  If I knew she was in danger, I wouldn't stand by. "

   "Is there surveillance in your home?"

"Yes."

   "Can we take a look?"

   "Do you have a search warrant?"

"No."

   "I refuse, I don't like being peeped into my life."

  Luke explained, “We don’t want to peek into your life, but we want to see the last image of Isa Redman before she was kidnapped.”

   "She wasn't kidnapped at my house. I've said it before. I sympathize with what happened to her, but it has nothing to do with me." Rodney Jacob stood up, waved his arms and tried to explain,

   "That morning, I drove her to the gym. If you want to check the monitoring, go there and check it, don't check the monitoring at my house.

   This offends me, I really don't like it. "

   "Which gym did you send her to?"

   "Teslow's Gym, she said that her car was parked in that gym, and she just asked me to send her to the gym.

  After that, we never saw each other again.

   If you don't believe me, go to the gym and investigate.

  That's all I can help you with.

  Please close the door for me when I leave, thank you. "

  Through the conversation with Rodney Jacob just now, Luke didn't notice that the other party showed obvious signs of lying.

  Luke and Xiao Hei left Rodney Jacob's house, Xiao Hei looked back, "This guy is really cold-blooded, it's really not worth rushing for Isa Redman."

   After finishing speaking, Xiao Hei was a little helpless, "However, there are many women who like this type and think they are cool."

   Seeing Luke walking away, Xiao Hei hurriedly chased after him, "Where are we going now? Teslow's Gym?"

   "Yes." Luke responded, sat in the passenger seat of the car, and began to review the kidnapping case in his mind.

According to Luke, there are two main reasons why the investigation of the case has not progressed. The first aspect is that the police have always misunderstood that Isa Redman was kidnapped on the night of March 11, but according to Rodney. According to Jacob, Isa Redman was still free on the morning of March 12.

  The time of the kidnapping is not accurate.

In fact, the location of the kidnapping was also wrong. The police always thought that Isa Redman was kidnapped in the Mormont community, and they have been checking the cars that passed by during the time when she disappeared, but Isa Redman did not leave in the car. community, but went directly to Rodney Jacob's house, so it was naturally impossible to find the suspect vehicle.

  The time and place of the kidnapping have not been found out, so it is naturally impossible to find clues to the kidnapping case.

  I hope it is still too late to correct.
