Los Angeles Detective Chapter 150

  Chapter 150 new skills (addition 2121)

  Luke's house.

   After finishing the confession transcript for Hollip, it was past nine o'clock.

  He came home to wash and tidy up, it was almost eleven o'clock.

  Today, he was exhausted after a hard day, but he couldn't sleep.

  Holip and Theodore belong to the epitome of many black people.

  At least they once had the chance to get rid of the fate of the bottom blacks, and more blacks didn't even have the chance to change their fate.

   There are classes in any society.

   It's just that different societies have different criteria for distinguishing.

  Take the blacks in America as an example, even the blacks at the bottom can enjoy good benefits and have no worries about food and clothing.

  Compared with the poor people in Africa, their material life is much richer, and there is no shortage of meat, eggs and milk.

   But they still belong to the bottom in the United States.

  The essence of class is not material needs, but biological instinct, and desires are endless.

  Even after a few hundred years, technology will be more developed and materials will be more abundant, there will still be classes.

   It's just that the criteria for distinguishing classes are different.

  Luke can't change this phenomenon, and he has no obligation to change it. All he can do is work hard to improve his class.

   A voice came to mind, [Congratulations to the host for successfully arresting a 'suspect' who attacked the police, and rewarded with 5 lucky draw opportunities]

  An option menu appeared in my mind, and the lottery interface was on the right, and the number of times in the lower right corner changed from 20 to 25.

  【Congratulations to the host for successfully solving the 'Top Crime', rewarding 15 lucky draw opportunities】

  The lottery interface changed from 25 to 40 several times.

  Luke rubbed his hands together and decided to have a little vaping.

  The lottery drawing interface appears in the brain.

   Draw!

  The pointer stops, a thousand dollars...

  Draw 40 times, win 5 cards, 35,000 US dollars.

   Among them, there are four old cards, one profile card, one identification card, one pistol card, and one observation card

  A new card, micro-expression analysis.

  After this period of time, Luke has also figured out the rules of the system, and most of the cards drawn can be used in the case.

  Of course, how to use it depends on his own arrangement.

   There are a total of 13 cards in the Luke system.

   Adventure Card, 3

   Identification card, 2

   Bullet Avoidance Card, 2

   Precision Card, 1

   Probe Card, 1

   Profile Card, 1

   Pistol card, 1

  Micro-expression analysis card, 1

   Observation Card, 1

  The system reserves are as high as 147,000, the stock value is 35,000 US dollars, and the cash is 196,000 US dollars.

  Luke's total assets are as high as 378,000.

  A thought popped into Luke's mind... Is it possible to buy a house?

  Calm down, you must be calm, you can no longer be a house slave.

   Wait, wait, wait.

  Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Luke is ready to learn the micro-expression analysis card.

  He is still very interested in this card. Although the accuracy rate cannot be 100%, it is still effective against some ordinary small characters.

  The breakthroughs in many cases are discovered from the details, which is a very practical skill.

  Luke is no stranger to micro-expression analysis skills. He also learned the skills of criminal investigation and interrogation when he was a policeman in his previous life, but he focused more on practical experience and did not learn systematically.

  Luke checked some paid learning materials on micro-expression analysis on the computer, first browsed through it roughly, and then used the micro-expression analysis card to study.

  Luke's learning progress is very fast, even faster than expected. On the one hand, micro-expression analysis cards can speed up the process of learning and understanding applications.

  On the other hand, Luke also had a lot of similar experience of observing words and expressions when he was a policeman in his previous life. The micro-expression analysis card is like a thread, connecting all previous experiences together.

   There is a feeling of enlightenment...

  The next morning.

   Police Detective Agency.

  Luke, Xiao Hei, and David got together to eat pancakes.

  Xiao Hei said vaguely, "I like this taste, it tastes crunchy, and cabbage is added. It is much more comfortable to eat this than a burger in the morning."

  David raised the cup in his right hand, "Have another cup of soy milk, it tastes even better."

  Luke smiled. He bought the pancakes at the community square. Each person added two eggs. They took them to the police station and heated them in the microwave. They still tasted good.

  Xiao Hei suggested, "Next time Luke treats you, you can take us to taste authentic Chinese food. I'm looking forward to it."

  Luke took a sip of coffee, "You treat me, I can also take you to eat authentic Chinese food, haha."

  Xiao Hei shrugged, "I heard that authentic Chinese food is very expensive, but I don't have as much money as you."

   "When I have time some other day, I invite you to go home for dinner and cook you an authentic Huaguo hot pot."

  Xiao Hei frowned, "The super spicy one? Nono, I don't like spicy food."

   "You can eat Yuanyang pot, a spicy, curry or mushroom soup flavor, I will miss it if I don't eat it for a week."

  Little underworld, "Sounds pretty good."

   At this moment, Reid walked into the office of the first squadron, "What are you talking about, the chat is quite lively."

  Xiao Hei chattered up and down, "Luke said he wanted to invite us to dinner, and he also said that he wanted to invite you to go with him."

  Luke "…"

  You don't understand kind words?

   "I remember." Rhett nodded, and pointed to the watch again, "but now we should have a meeting."

  Everyone came to the conference room.

  Rett glanced at everyone, "Everyone has worked hard these past few days.

  The situation of the two guns has been investigated and the two shooters have been caught, but the real shooter has not been caught yet.

  This case is not over yet, the senior management of the Municipal Bureau is still very concerned about this case, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the investigation of the case.

  So everyone has to work harder. "

  Susan said, "The Second Squadron shared some information, and they found some contradictions in the new statement.

  Some witnesses claimed that the skin on the suspect's neck looked like a white man.

   This contradicts the previous statement that the suspect is black. "

  David said, "They claimed that the shooter was a black man, could it be Hollip?"

   Luke said, "It's unlikely. Hollip is the quarterback of the football team. Most students should know him."

The deputy team said, "Actually, it doesn't make much sense to argue about blacks and whites. The scope of the investigation is still very large. It is better to focus on the case itself." The deputy team stood up and continued, "As the sources of the other two pistols are found out , The purpose of the suspect's crime will gradually become clear.

  First of all, the school bully Chad Kleiss and Lev can be crossed off the list of victims, neither of them is the real target of the suspect.

  The real targets of the suspects are school bully girlfriend Barbara Damb, cheerleader Josie Alyssa, student council member Herman Wade, and poison fan Kyle Torres.

  As long as the relationship between these four people is found out, the murderer's purpose of killing may be clear. "

  Luke said, "I once heard Josie's parents and Barbara mention that Josie has a mysterious boyfriend named Pete. He just broke up with Josie not long ago. Perhaps he can provide some valuable information."

  Matthew said, "I checked Josie's mobile phone number according to your request, but I didn't find that person named Pete."

   Luke said, "That's even more suspicious."

  Rett reminded, "Guys, I have something to say. Many parents of Malaboa High School strongly demanded the resumption of classes. After consideration, the Municipal Bureau decided to resume classes tomorrow. Today is the last day of the lockdown."

   "Thank you for reminding me, I'm going to the scene of the crime again." Luke doesn't know much about the shooting in the Science Building, and on-site investigation is the best way to understand the case.

   "Then hurry up."

"I will."

  After the meeting, Luke and Xiao Hei drove to the school. Since the class will start tomorrow, the school may be cleaned this afternoon.

  The campus of Malaboa High School is empty, and flowers mourning the dead are placed at the school gate, which seems to add a bit of desolation.

   When the two of Luke reached the door, they were stopped by school security and school police.

  The campus police officer is called Selter Polis, a white middle-aged man in his forties.

   He was also the only police officer who saw the shooter.

  Luke hasn't talked to him, but has seen pictures of him.

  Xiao Hei showed his police badge, "I am Detective Marcus, and this is Detective Luke. We are here to check the scene."

  Selter Polis was very enthusiastic, "Do you need me to take you there?"

   Luke said, "Okay, I just wanted to talk to you too."

"Come with me, I'll be your guide." Walking on campus, Celt said with emotion, "This should be the most beautiful place, the best age, the most precious memory, but the worst happened. happened."

   "Have you seen the shooter?"

   "Yes, I was at the school gate when the first shot was fired.

  As soon as school is over, there will be a lot of gangsters gathered outside the school. I usually stand at the door to prevent them from causing trouble.

  When the first shot was fired, I couldn't determine the exact location, but the students were already in chaos, and they began to evacuate to avoid stampede.

  After that, gunshots rang out again. I was sure it was in the teaching building, so I rushed to the teaching building without hesitation.

   Coincidentally, I saw the gunman wearing a clown mask outside the teaching building, and there were some fleeing students around at that time. I was afraid of accidental injury, so I couldn't shoot.

  The gunman in the clown mask quickly ran into the science building. "

  While speaking, a group of three people also arrived at the science building, and the school police officer Selt did not lead them through the main entrance, but walked to the back of the science building, "He went upstairs from here, and I chased after him.

   "I heard that you guys had a shootout?"

   "Yeah, in the hallway on the third floor, I caught up to him and we got into a shootout.

   'bang bang bang'

   Unfortunately, I missed him. "

  Luke recalled the dossier, "But as far as I know, no gunman's bullets were found in the corridor, only your own bullets."

   "He was in the hallway and I was standing by the window and he fired two shots and shattered the glass behind me.

   Then, I heard a scream, and the shattered glass hit the people downstairs...

  I ran to the window in the stairwell to check the condition of the wounded, and the gunman took the opportunity to escape. "The school policeman sighed helplessly.

  Luke nodded. One dead and one injured were the same as the description on the file. Speaking of which, the wounded were unlucky enough. Instead of being shot directly, they were stabbed by glass broken by stray bullets.

  The campus police continued to lead the two upstairs, "After the gunman escaped, I'm not sure where he will go. There are two stairwells and an elevator passage in the science building. I temporarily lost his trace.

   Just as I was searching, I heard gunshots again, on the roof.

  “I ran to the roof and found a black man had been shot. He bled a lot in his chest, but he wasn't dead yet.

   At this moment, the gunman fired at me again, and I fired back.

   After that, the gunman ran away from the other side, and I didn't chase him because I was tending to the wounded. "

  Luke stared at the campus policeman's expression for a while, and asked, "Are you sure the victim wasn't dead when we went up to the top floor?"

   "Yes, he was bleeding a lot. I stopped the bleeding and held his hand, but he still couldn't hold on...it's a pity."

  Xiao Hei patted him on the shoulder, "You've done a great job, you've tried your best.

  If it were me, I might not be better than you. "

  The campus policeman had tears in his eyes, "Thank you, but I still can't forgive myself. I kept thinking that if my marksmanship could be more accurate that day, maybe these things would not have happened."

  Luke thought for a while, then continued to ask, "Did you hear the gunfire again while you were tending to the wounded?"

   "There seems to be gunshots over the music building."

   "How many times?"

   "I can't remember clearly." The campus policeman sighed, "Actually, I regret it a little. I should have chased after him. If I had been there, there would have been no more shootings in the music building, and no more students would have been killed."

  Xiao Hei comforted, "Dude, don't feel too guilty, you can't save everyone with only one person.

   At least you gave the rooftop victim some final comfort. "

  Luke glanced at the rooftop, carefully inspected where the deceased was injured, and pressed his temple.

  Xiao Hei asked concerned, "What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

  Luke shook his head.

  Just met the campus policeman, Luke had a good impression of him, but when describing the situation at the scene, he felt that the campus policeman's expression was a little weird, very similar to some performances when the micro-expression analysis method is lying.

  Looking away, shrugging one shoulder when speaking, nodding the moment before shaking the head to deny, etc.

  When people accept external things, they will have an instinctive performance, which may be quickly affected by consciousness and thinking.

  The so-called micro-expression analysis method is to capture facial expressions that flash in an instant and reveal people's true feelings and emotions.

   According to the micro-expression analysis, the campus police lied when describing the case, but Luke used it for the first time, and he didn't know if it was reliable or not.

  Without evidence, it is impossible for Luke to openly question his colleagues.

  Of course, he will also keep his own ideas.

   Suppose, the campus police lied.

  Why did he lie?

  What will happen in the real scene?

  How did his misleadings affect the police investigation?

  The Second Squadron has been investigating this case, but has not made much progress. Could it be that they were misled by the campus police?

   There are more and more questions in my heart.

  Luke went back to the police station to check all the files and on-site investigation information, and then compared it with the statement of the campus police.

  The campus police described a shootout with the suspect on the third floor. The suspect shot two shots through the glass, so no bullets were left on the wall of the corridor.

This is not a problem.

   But Luke checked the site inspection records and found no trace of the gunman's bullets on the ground outside the window.

  However, this is also difficult to use as evidence that the campus police lied, because the range of the bullet exceeds a kilometer, and it is normal to find it.

   Before the shooter is caught, it is difficult to prove that the campus police lied.

  And once the campus police lie, it will affect the direction of the police investigation, making it even harder for the police to catch the murderer.

  Could the campus police be the murderer's accomplice?

   It would be horrible if it was.

  He is the only person in the entire school who can legally carry a gun.

  Finally, Luke decided to tell Susan about it.

  Susan considered for a long time and decided not to report.

   After all, this is just Luke's one-sided statement. The school police are police officers just like the city police. If you want to prove that he lied, you have to produce sufficient proof.

  Luke couldn't produce evidence.

  However, out of trust in Luke and the potential harm of the campus police, Susan agreed to Luke's secret investigation.

  The next day.

   Today is the first day of school at Malaboa High School. If the school police do something, then there will be a big problem.

  Luke and Xiao Hei didn't go to the police station, but went directly to the school.

  The two were driving to school, Xiao Hei started talking nonsense again, "When did you learn micro-expression analysis, why don't I know."

   "Know my bank password?"

   "You didn't tell me."

   "That's right, there are many things you don't know."

   "You practiced guns secretly, and now you are learning micro-expression analysis, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

   "Are you jealous?"

  "No, it's a complicated feeling.

  As the deputy team once said, when Director Reid was a detective, he was already a detective;

  Rett became the deputy director and he is still the inspector.

   I even bought Karma, it's terrible, I don't want this to happen to me. "

   "Then work hard, you are different from the vice team, I will cover you."

   "OK, I feel better, it's kind of sweet."

  Luke shook his head and laughed, if one day there was no such a funny guy around him, he might not be used to it.

  Ten minutes later, the two came to the school.

  A large number of students gathered at the school gate, and many of them were mourning the dead classmates. There was a large area of ​​flowers, dolls and rugby on the ground on the east side of the school gate. Almost every student would stop at the gate for a while.

  Xiao Hei looked out from the window of the cab, "Why are you mourning outside the school instead of inside?"

   "The people mourning are not only students, but also people outside the school." Luke was also looking out the window, and found a familiar figure, the school policeman Selter Polis.

   This guy stood at the door and glanced at the students passing by, with his hands on his police belt, and he greeted the passing students from time to time.

   It can be seen that he and the students are doing well.

  Luke couldn't help but wonder if his judgment was wrong.

   Fortunately, Susan did not report, so he did not feel too much pressure.

  Xiao Hei looked out with his chin in his right hand, "Is our task today to stare at him?"

   "No, this is just one of them." Luke glanced around, as if looking for someone.

   "Why didn't I know there were other tasks?"

  Luke pointed out the window, and Xiao Hei turned his head to look, and saw a familiar figure of student council member Herman Wade, one of the victims of the shooting.

  Herman came in a Mercedes-Benz S-class car, and he couldn't see the driver clearly, but it was enough to show that his family's financial conditions were good.

  Actually, the family conditions of the students in this high school are all good. Hollip can only be regarded as an example. He was a student specially recruited from the junior high school through the rugby team, otherwise his family would not be able to afford the expensive tuition.

  Herman stood at the door to mourn after getting off the car, put a football next to Lev's photo, stayed for a while, and the other deceased sent bouquets of flowers.

  Herman himself was well-known in the school, and now he is a survivor of the shooting. A group of classmates quickly gathered around him, and he entered the school surrounded by his classmates.

   I originally wanted to write 25,000 words today, so that everyone can enjoy it and draw a few more prizes.

   But my ability is limited, and I have only written 20,000 words so far.

   I probably won't be able to write the next chapter before twelve o'clock.

   I really tried my best.

   With 20,000 words, you can draw four prizes.

   Lucky draws are available between 2 am on the 16th and the 18th.

   Everyone, don't forget.

   Thank you for your support, thank you!
