Los Angeles Detective Chapter 231

  Chapter 231 Motivation

  The next morning, the police station.

  Luke and Xiao Hei returned to the team on time.

  At 9:5 in the morning, Susan held a case summary meeting on time.

  Susan pointed to the character tree diagram on the whiteboard, "Yesterday, Raymond and I investigated the situation of the suspect Parker.

  July 10th between 10:00 p.m.

   Tell us about the progress of your investigation. "

  Jenny said, "Yesterday I had a video call with Lisa's biological mother, and her and Lisa's statements were basically the same, and I went to the coffee shop where they were at the time to investigate.

  From 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on July 7, they stayed in the cafe.

   And Lisa's biological mother returned to New York on July 9th, and there was no time to commit crimes on July 10th.

  My investigation is the above. "

  The deputy team went on to say, “Yesterday, we re-investigated the alibi of the Cage couple and ruled out the possibility of the two of them committing the crime.

  In addition, Matthew checked the flow of funds in the accounts of the husband and wife, and found no abnormal large-scale capital transactions. "

   After finishing speaking, the deputy team spread their hands, "It means that the clues for our investigation are all broken, and the case has reached a bottleneck."

  Xiao Hei raised his hand, "Hey, guys, don't draw conclusions so early, we have found something here."

  Jackson was a little disbelieving, "Didn't you guys go on vacation yesterday? What can you find out?"

   "That's right, Luke and I were indeed on vacation yesterday.

  So, Luke invited me to a three-star Michelin restaurant for dinner tonight.

  The French blue lobster in that restaurant is huge, tender and juicy with a bite, and tastes great. "Xiao Hei described it with a face of enjoyment.

  The deputy team couldn't stand it anymore, "Stop! What does your going to a Michelin three-star restaurant have to do with this case?"

   "Deputy team, don't worry, listen to me slowly. It's a French restaurant, it's really good, and the price is also very expensive.

  Me and Luke were sitting at the table, and that vibe, it felt like…"

  The deputy team interrupted again, "Who treats?"

  Xiao Hei pointed to Luke, "Of course it's him."

  The deputy team curled their lips, "I don't believe that Luke will treat you to French food with three Michelin stars. Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."

   "Believe it or not, it is the truth." Xiao Hei took out a piece of delicate cotton cloth, "Do you see this, does it look familiar?"

  Jenny recognized it at a glance, "This square scarf is the same as the cotton cloth that was stuffed in the mouth of the deceased."

   "Binggou, you guessed it right.

   While we were eating, Luke found that the restaurant's hand towel was the same as the one in the mouth of the deceased, and then we called up the surveillance, and guess what we saw? "

  The deputy team was dissatisfied, "Marcus, is it because David has been away for so long that you forgot what it feels like to be beaten.

  Luke, it's up to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist beating him. "

   "nono, I can say hurry up.

  We found the deceased Nancy in the surveillance video of the restaurant. She went to the restaurant alone to eat at noon on July 9th. She was not coerced or kidnapped. She sat there alone and ate a French meal.

   A meal cost nearly $1,500, and a $100 tip was given to the waiter. "

  Jackson was a little disbelieving, "Where did she get so much money? We went to the beauty salon to investigate, and her monthly salary plus commission is only about 4,000 U.S. dollars."

  Xiao Hei chuckled, "Rookie, learn a bit, this is the crux of the problem."

   Jackson asked, "What is the key?"

  Jackson is a good fan, but the deputy team didn't give Xiao Hei a chance to pretend to be X, and quickly answered, "Nancy committed suicide to cheat her insurance."

  The deputy team made it clear, Xiao Hei was a little discouraged, "That's right, this is the common conclusion of Luke and me."

  Luke didn't say a word, just played the video of Nancy appearing in the restaurant on the projector, which was more powerful than saying anything.

  The deputy team combed his hair, "Actually, after all the clues were broken, I thought of this possibility, and Luke's discovery in the restaurant provided favorable evidence for this speculation.

   But this evidence alone is not enough to characterize the case.

   Not only do we need more evidence, but also a motive for her suicide.

   Money is one aspect, but it should not be the root cause.

  Suicide is easy to say, but people have a desire to survive, and suicide requires great courage.

   Unless it is in a desperate situation, no one will commit suicide to cheat insurance.

  So, now we not only need to find more evidence of conviction, but also the reason why she committed suicide and cheated insurance. "

   The deputy team talked about everything.

  Xiao Hei looked unhappy, this white-haired old man could pretend to be X better than himself.

  Why didn't you say that just now?

   Once I say it, you say it too.

   Waiting for me here?

  The old guy is so bad.

  After determining the direction of the investigation, everyone took the center of Daniel's restaurant as the node to investigate separately.

  In a black Ford Explorer.

   While driving, Xiao Hei said, "Why do I feel that the deputy team is targeting me?"

  Luke said disapprovingly, "He's not targeting you alone, but everyone."

   "Listen, I feel better, where do we go now?"

   "Go to Poamen Hospital to find Nancy's family doctor." In Luke's opinion, when a person has health problems, he is most likely to commit suicide and cheat insurance.

   Half an hour later, the two drove to the hospital.

The scale of Boam Hospital is not large, it only has three upper and lower floors, with yellow walls and blue glass. The corridor is a little dark when you enter the door, but the lights are on in broad daylight. The walls are also yellow, and the doors of each ward are brown. Yes, no one in sight.

  It is more like a hotel than a hospital.

  Nancy's family doctor is in room 205.

   "Boom..."

   "Come in."

  Luke and Xiao Hei knocked on the door and walked in.

   "Hello, is this Dr. Chad Claire?"

  A white doctor put on glasses, looked at Luke and Xiao Hei, "It's me, do you have an appointment?"

  Xiao Hei showed his police officer ID, "I am Detective Marcus from the Robbery and Murder Division, and this is Deputy Team Luke.

  We are investigating a case and would like your assistance. "

   "What case? Need to go to the hospital to investigate?"

   "Do you know Nancy Cole?"

   "Yes, I am her family doctor, what's wrong?"

   "She died."

  Chad showed a look of surprise, "How could it be so fast?"

  Xiao Hei asked, "What do you mean by that? What do you mean so fast? You know she will die."

  “Yes, she came for a physical examination some time ago, she got cancer, the condition is very bad, I suggest her treatment.

   But she was a little hard to accept, very sad, and resistant to treatment. "

   "Is there any chance of her being cured?"

   "Of course, there is still a chance if it is treated, but it is difficult to say that it is completely cured. Even if it is temporarily controlled, it may spread again in the future. The situation is more complicated.

   But with the speed of her illness, she shouldn't die so soon. How did she die? "

   "She was burned."

   "I buy Karma... that's why you guys are here?"

"Yes."

   "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you.

  I was only her attending doctor, but she didn't come back for a review. I called her, but she refused to treat her. "

"Why?"

   "I don't know, she's emotionally unstable, so I recommended a psychiatrist to her.

  I think during that time period, the role of psychiatrists may be greater.

  I even thought that she would come back for treatment under the persuasion of the psychiatrist.

   But she didn't.

  I'm sorry to hear this news. "

   Luke said, "I want the contact information and address of that psychiatrist."

  Dr. Chad, "No need."

  Luke said solemnly, "I need it!"

   "She's in the consulting room downstairs."

  Luke "…"

  105 consultation room.

  Luke and Xiao Hei knocked on the door and walked in.

   "Are you Dr. Josephine Blanche?"

  A blond female doctor wearing glasses looked at the two, "It's me, which one of you sees the doctor?"

  Xiao Hei smiled and asked, "I heard that you are a psychiatrist, what do you think?"

   Josephine smiled, "I think...you all need it."

  Xiao Hei suffered a lot, and stopped playing tricks, and introduced the identities of the two.

   "Police? What do you want?"

  Luke took out Nancy's photo, "Do you know her?"

"Yes."

   "She came here for psychological counseling. She is a poor woman, and her name seems to be Nancy."

   "Yes, we want to know about her."

   Josephine smiled, "Sorry, I signed a non-disclosure agreement, and it's stricter than yours."

   "Whom is your nondisclosure agreement for?"

   "My patient Nancy."

   "If Nancy dies, will it still work?"

   "Oumaika..." Josephine sighed lightly, and sat on the chair weakly.

   Luke stared at her expression, "You are not very surprised by her death."

   "Did you come down from upstairs?"

"Yes."

   "Then you should know that Nancy has cancer. She is very sad and easily falls into depression. I have seen many similar examples."

   "You think she might kill herself?"

   "I'm not sure, but she is very desperate. In that state, I won't be surprised if she does anything."

   "Can you describe her condition?"

   "I can't remember the details, but I had a video at that time, and it was with her permission."

   "Then let's watch the video."

  "Sorry, even if Nancy is dead, I can't easily take out the video.

  I am a psychiatrist, and the patients let me videotape out of trust in me.

  I will not betray her.

  Unless you have relevant documents. "

   "Does it have to be so troublesome?"

   "You have your responsibilities, and so do I."

  Luke had no choice but to contact Susan to apply for relevant documents and send them directly to the hospital's printer.

  Luke and Xiao Hei waited for more than an hour before the search warrant was faxed.

  Dr. Josephine handed over the video to the two of them.

  Luke inserted the USB flash drive into the laptop and began to view the video of the psychological counseling.

  In the video, there is a black woman sitting in the same consultation room and in the same position, it is Nancy.

   Dr. Josephine said, "Now, Nancy, why are you so sad?"

   “I have cancer.”

   "I am sorry to hear the news, I can understand your sadness."

   "No, you can't understand, I'm hopeless."

  "You have to be strong. Cancer can be cured. Now that technology is so advanced, I have seen many cured patients, and they are all living well now."

   "You don't need to comfort me, I know that the treatment process will be very painful, and the chance of complete cure is very small, I don't have the courage to persevere."

   Josephine asked, "Are you married?"

"Yes."

   "How is your relationship with your husband?"

   "I love him, and he loves me."

   "Do you have children?"

   "Yes, we have three lovely children, and although they **** me off occasionally, I really love them."

   "Think about your husband, think about your children, they will encourage you, they will fight with you, and with them by your side, cancer is by no means invincible.

  You have to remember that love is the greatest power and can overcome everything. "

   "I... maybe others can, but I'm not that strong."

   "Nancy, you have to believe in yourself, even for the one you love, you have to work hard to live, active treatment, as long as you maintain an optimistic mood, it will also help your treatment."

   "Dr. Josephine, thank you for your encouragement, I know you are right...but I feel that I really can't hold on anymore.

  I live very hard, very tired, I don't want to go on anymore. "

   "You can tell me what difficulties you have, and we will find a way to solve them together, and you will feel more comfortable when you say it."

  Nancy let out a long sigh and said slowly, "We have been living very hard for so many years.

   I am busy every day, and there are endless things to do every day.

  In addition to work, I also have to do housework and take care of the children. Although my husband will also help me, it still feels very hard.

  We live very hard, we hope to provide a good environment for children, so that they will no longer live at the bottom of society like us.

  For so many years, I have been working hard and giving more and more, but I have never lived for myself.

  I firmly believe that as long as I work hard, my children and I will have a better life, live in a spacious and beautiful house, have a decent job, and enjoy the rest of our lives.

  I have always believed in…

keep working hard…

   But what do I end up with?

cancer!

   God, why are you doing this to me?

  I live so seriously and work so hard, why are you still teasing me?

  I'm lost.

   Don't know what the meaning of hard work is?

  I see no hope. "Nancy slowly closed her eyes, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

  Josephine sighed softly, and said in a gentle but firm tone, "Nancy, it's not over yet, cancer is not the end.

   You should cheer up.

  As long as you pass this level, everything will be fine.

  I believe that your efforts are not meaningless.

   It's just not yet the harvest time.

  Think about your husband and children.

   Give yourself another chance.

  Even if you fail, you will not regret it. "

  Nancy shook her head, "No, I have already seen clearly that my efforts are meaningless.

  Some things cannot be obtained through hard work.

  Like the clients in our salon, many of them have everything from birth.

  They don't need to do anything, just enjoy life happily every day.

  One meal of them can cover my family's food expenses for a month.

  They can pay half a month's salary for a beauty treatment.

  They have endless big houses, and they don't even bother to rent them out.

and I?

Nothing at all.

   Don't even dare to think about it.

   The world is unfair and I could never live the life they did.

  I see no hope…”

   Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a monthly pass!
