Los Angeles Detective Chapter 349

  Chapter 349 key

   "I just hope this will end soon." Danny Carter sighed and poured another glass of wine.

  Daisy frowned slightly, and persuaded, "Mr. Carter, I know you are in a bad mood and want to release the pressure by drinking.

  But don't overdo it, lest you do irrational things and make the situation even more chaotic. "

"Can there be a worse situation? I don't even know if I still have a chance to play..." Danny Carter's voice was a little lonely, his career was still on the rise, and this kind of thing happened suddenly, it is very likely A devastating blow to a career.

  Daisy asked coldly, "Do you want to go to jail?"

  "No, I don't want to go to that kind of place. I practiced rugby hard to get rid of that fate. If I am in jail now, why should I work so hard at the beginning."

   "Then listen to me, don't drink too much, and don't touch anyone, understand?"

  Danny Carter nodded, "OK, you are the boss."

  Luke tried to ease the atmosphere and changed the subject, "Danny, have you offended anyone recently?"

   "You suspect someone is setting me up?"

   "It's hard to say for the time being, but this possibility cannot be ruled out."

  Danny Carter stood up and walked back and forth in the living room, "I have a bad temper, and I have offended many people, but I can't think of anyone who would do such a thing."

   "Then you should think about it, and call me anytime you think of it." Luke handed the other party a business card.

   "I will." Danny Carter put away his business card and asked, "Luke, you are also a policeman, but you have investigated many major cases. I want to know why the police will find me guilty?

  I have clearly explained it, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lee Warwick lied. "

  Luke said, "The police look at objective evidence.

   If they have enough evidence against you, they will use that evidence to get you to sign a plea agreement. "

   "I haven't done it, let alone plead guilty." Danny Carter said firmly.

  Daisy said, "As far as I know, the police have not yet found any evidence that can convict Mr. Carter."

  Danny Carter said, "Then why are the police still holding me?"

   Luke said, "The police will suspect all possibilities, and they will not only consider the problem from your perspective, they will also consider the victim's statement, combined with the existing evidence.

   There are usually three outcomes.

   The first method is to find the suspect's definite evidence and make the suspect confess.

  The second method finds evidence of the innocence of the suspect and releases the suspect.

  The third type of suspect has a motive to commit the crime and has indeed been to the scene, but there is no definite evidence of conviction. The victim and the suspect hold their own opinions, and the suspect also refuses to plead guilty.

  After investigating for a period of time, if the police cannot find new evidence, they will communicate with the prosecution to decide whether to prosecute. "

   Luke concluded, "I think this should be the third situation."

   Danny Carter asked, "Then what should I do now?"

  Luke took out the notebook, "Through your description just now, I selected a few key points, which may be the key determinants of whether the prosecution decides to prosecute."

  Danny Carter swallowed, "What key point?"

   "First of all, the two of you did play poker and left behind genetic material. In this case, the woman calls the police, and you will be very passive."

  Danny Carter said, "As I said before, she invited me to the house on her own initiative? She did it voluntarily."

   "Do you have evidence?"

  Danny Carter asked, "California law emphasizes that there is no doubt. Shouldn't they provide evidence of my guilt?"

   "The so-called never suspect is more applicable to court trials.

  However, during the investigation stage, the police and the prosecution have discretion. Even if the chain of evidence is not perfect, as long as they feel that you are suspected of committing a crime, they can sue you.

   Do you want to go to court? "

   "No, I don't want to go to court, this affects me too much, it may ruin my career, I just hope this matter can be over as soon as possible.

   Better for the prosecution to drop the case. "

  Luke said, "Then you have to find evidence to prove your innocence to the police and the prosecution. As long as the prosecution abandons the lawsuit, you will be exonerated. You don't need to go to court, and public opinion will turn to your side."

  Danny Carter glanced at Luke, then at Daisy, "I think this idea is great.

  How to find evidence? "

  Luke continued to ask, "Is there surveillance at Lee Warwick's house?"

  Danny Carter thought for a while, "I don't know, probably not, at least I didn't see it."

  "During the interview, did the police ask any special questions or questions that made you feel uncomfortable or threatened?"

  Danny Carter recalled a moment, "Yes, I was interrogated by a white policeman, and he asked me if I knew that Lee Warwick had a boyfriend?

   I replied, no idea, and Lee Warwick said she was single. "

  Luke said, "From the police's inquiry, Lee Warwick should have a boyfriend."

  Daisy said, "If you go to court, this will be against you."

  Danny Carter defended, "She lied, she told me clearly at the time that she didn't have a boyfriend."

  Luke pressed, "Where did she say that? Do you have proof?"

   "I said it in the car. My car has a driving recorder, which should have recorded our conversation."

  Luke jotted it down in his notebook and continued to ask, "Any more questions?"

   "The police also asked me, did I offer to go to Lee Warwick's house for coffee?

  I answered no, it was Lee Warwick who invited me. "

  Luke said, "If I'm not mistaken, Lee Warwick should claim that you asked to go to her house when she took the notes."

   "She lied, she asked me to go."

   "Do you have evidence?"

   "I stopped the car at the time, and she also said it in the car."

  Luke nodded, "It seems that if you want to prove your innocence, you must first find your stolen car."

   "If that car is found, can the recording in the driving recorder prove my innocence?" Danny Carter showed a look of expectation.

   "No." Luke shook his head, "You guys played poker at Lee Warwick's house, not in the car. Therefore, the dash cam cannot completely prove your innocence."

  Danny Carter was a little annoyed, "Then what's the use of finding the car?"

   "It can be proved that Lee Warwick is lying." Luke analyzed, "Although I don't know Lee Warwick's statement, since the police have arrested you, they think you are suspected of being strong.

  Nally Warwick must have had some expression of mens rea in her description of your actions.

  For example, if she explicitly tells you that she has a boyfriend, it means rejecting you, but you don't care.

  Second, after you send her to the door, you ask to go to her house instead of her invitation.

   At night, knowing that the victim has a boyfriend, you strongly demanded to go to her house. This is your criminal intent.

   And the criminal intent continues to develop your criminal motive. "

  Luke paused, and continued, "As long as you can find the car's dashcam and prove that Lee Warwick is lying, then your criminal motive is not established.

   On the contrary, Lee Warwick lied, and the police and prosecutors will have doubts about all her confessions and testimony.

  The police and prosecutors are human too, and no one likes being lied to.

  The police and the prosecution have discretion in their hands. Once they have doubts about Lee Warwick's words, they will be more inclined to accept your confession.

   Finally dropped the prosecution against you due to insufficient evidence. "

  Danny Carter squeezed out a wry smile, "So, it's not that we're not better than anyone, but worse."

   Luke said, "You can be bad, but don't make bad things for the police and prosecutors."

  Actually, Daisy also understands these things, but as a lawyer, Daisy thinks differently from Luke.

   These words were spoken by Luke, and they were more convincing.

  Because Luke is a policeman himself, he also handles cases in this way. He is familiar with the police's case-handling process and psychology.

  Danny Carter said, "But the police didn't find my car."

   Luke said, "I'll help you find a car."

   "Are you sure you'll find it?"

"I'll try."

  Daisy said, "Even if we don't find the car, there are still us who can make two-handed preparations."

  Danny Carter looked at Daisy, "I don't want to go to court."

  Daisy said, "It can be settled out of court and let Lee Warwick withdraw the lawsuit."

   "What kind of reconciliation?"

   “Give the other party some compensation.”

   "Haha..." Danny Carter sneered, "After all, she just wanted to blackmail me."

   "Many similar cases are mainly based on compensation and settlement to minimize the impact, which is the best for you and the team."

   "nonono, I don't want to give my hard-earned money to that woman, that's why I hired you.

  And if I choose to reconcile now, wouldn't I admit that I have strengthened him.

  How I will face the people around me, how I will face the fans, and how I will represent Los Angeles.

  I will never compromise. "Danny Carter's tone was a little excited, and he looked at Luke aside, "Luke, please find that car, no matter how much it costs, I am willing. "

   Luke still said, "I will try my best."

   Inside a black Mercedes-Benz G500.

  Daisy sat in the cab, shook her head and said, "He is too irrational, reconciliation is the best way."

   Luke asked back, "If you were thinking of settling in the first place, why did you let me join the case?"

  Daisy shook her finger, "It is in the best interest of a lawyer to go to court, but in this case, a settlement is in the best interest of the client.

  If the client is unwilling to go to court, choosing a settlement can be done once and for all.

   As for you, both going to court and settling matter.

  As long as you find clues that are beneficial to the client, we can take the initiative in the settlement and lower the compensation amount as much as possible. "

  Luke said, "As long as the client's lost car is found, the contents of the driving recorder can make the police and the prosecutor drop the prosecution. The effect is the same, and it can also save the client a lot of money."

   "Don't think about saving money in this kind of case.

  Even if the police do not consider prosecuting, Li Warwick may file a civil lawsuit against Danny Carter for compensation. The requirements for evidence in civil lawsuits are not as strict as criminal lawsuits. sighed Daisy,

  "The most important point is that Danny Carter is a public figure, and the longer this case drags on, the greater its impact on him.

   If it takes three to five years, no matter what the final result is, Danny Carter's career will be ruined. "

   Luke said, "I'm not against the settlement.

  If Lee Warwick really filed a civil lawsuit for compensation, in order to end this farce as soon as possible, a settlement can be made.

   But the premise is to prove that Danny. Carter is innocent.

  As long as enough evidence is found to allow the police and the prosecution to abandon the prosecution of Danny Carter, it can be proved that Danny Carter is innocent.

  I think this is very important, no team and fans will like a strong offender.

   As for compensation in civil lawsuits, does anyone know what's going on?

   If there is a reconciliation at this time, everyone will still stand on Danny Carter's side, thinking that Lee Warwick is blackmailing and dancing with immortals, and no one will sympathize with her.

  Danny Carter is a public figure, a good reputation is conducive to his long-term development. "

  Daisy said, "I have checked many similar cases, and most clients choose the time, not right or wrong.

   What you say may make sense, but it is also risky.

  The compensation of millions of dollars is nothing compared to their net worth.

   Understand this case as soon as possible, so that they can get rid of the negative news and put all their energy on their careers.

  The golden age of a player is only three to five years...

   From the perspective of risk and benefit, settlement is the most favorable. "

   "OK, I'm in charge of finding the stolen car. As for how to use it after finding the clues and evidence...you can discuss it with Danny Carter.

   All I need is a commission. "

   "How are you going to investigate? Are you using the resources of the police station?"

  "No, since Danny Carter has already called the police, the police will definitely track the whereabouts of the stolen Porsche car. The car has not been recovered, which shows that this method is not efficient.

  It has already been proven that this method does not work, so why should I repeat it. "

   "Then how are you going to investigate?"

   "Send me the details of that car, just wait for the news."

   "OK."

  Luke sent Daisy back to the law firm, and called Xiao Hei to have dinner together.

  If you use the police method to find the missing vehicle, it is nothing more than checking the monitoring and locating the car location, but the police have not found the car, it means that these two methods have not worked.

   can only find another way.

   Haidilao Hot Pot Restaurant.

  Luke ordered a mandarin duck pot with butter and curry. As soon as the dishes were ordered, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Xiao Hei walked in with a smile, rubbing his hands, "I like this restaurant, not only does it have delicious hot pot, but their staff is full of enthusiasm. Next time I have a chance, I must bring Julian here taste."

   Luke glared at him, "Don't show affection in front of single men, it's immoral."

   The two drank a glass of beer.

  Luke put a plate of hand-cut mutton and said, "How is the team these two days?"

  Xiao Hei clumsily stirred the dipping material with his chopsticks, "Everything is normal, and the case is still being closed. How is your vacation? Miss me so soon?"

   "Have you heard about the Los Angeles Rams Danny Carter?"

  "Yes, I liked him quite a bit at first, a strong little man, who would have thought that he would also be a scumbag, No, to be precise, a jerk.

  His brute force should not be used on women, and he is a female fan, too shameless. "

  Luke said, "I talked to him today, and he said that he didn't force the female fans, and the two played poker out of their own will."

   "Did he lie?"

   "I don't see it."

  Xiao Hei has partnered with Luke before, and knows that he can analyze micro-expressions, and the accuracy of judgment is very high. Based on his experience, it is impossible for that kid with well-developed limbs to deceive Luke.

   "Why did that female fan frame him?"

   "I am not involved in this case as a policeman, but as a detective, so I have not come into contact with that female fan."

   "Danny Carter hired you?"

  "After I talked with him, I felt that he might be wronged, and the commission was very considerable, so I accepted the commission."

   "Sounds good, what do I need to do?" Xiao Hei picked up a chopstick of mutton and started to eat it.

  "On the night of the incident, Danny Carter went to the female fan's house, and his car was left at the door of the female fan's house. After they finished playing poker, the car was stolen.

  The car's driving recorder recorded the conversation between them, which is likely to affect the direction of the entire case. "

   "You want me to find that car?"

   "Is there anyone more suitable than you?"

  Xiao Hei showed an expression that you still understand me, "What car?"

   "Porsche 911."

   "Wow...I love it."
