Los Angeles Detective Chapter 489

   Three o'clock in the afternoon.

  Mary pushed open the door of a squadron office, "Hey, guys, the appraisal report you want is out."

  Jackson stood up, "Good news, or bad news."

   "Good question...it really stumps me." Mary didn't seem to know how to answer, and handed the identification report to Jackson, "You should read it yourself."

Jackson picked up the appraisal report and read, "Comparing the DNA structure of the suspect Sofia's skin tissue and saliva and other trace substances, it is completely consistent with the DNA type of Sofia de la Rosa, the victim of the kidnapping case ten years ago. It's definitely the same person..."

  After Jackson finished reading the appraisal report, the office became quiet, and everyone around him fell silent.

  Although this result, everyone has guessed before, but the guess is guess after all.

   Now that the identification results are out, they need to deal with new problems.

   Like, how to treat Sofia?

  Ten years ago, she was the victim of a kidnapping case. The FBI and the police made great efforts to rescue and find her, and now they are finally found.

   Her survival was a cause for celebration, but not joy.

  Because she changed, from the victim of the kidnapping case to the kidnapper who kidnapped her.

   This transition is psychologically difficult to accept.

She was only ten years old when she was kidnapped, and she is only twenty years old now. She has been controlled by the kidnappers during the most important stage of her life. She inflicts a second injury.

   After a long time, Jackson said, "Anyway, I think I should tell her about it.

  She did commit a crime, but the suspect also has the right to know her past life, which may be the best memory of her life.

   Moreover, she was probably coerced into committing the crime, and it was not her intention to kidnap Isa Redman. "

  The deputy team said, "Emotionally, I agree with your words, but she did commit a crime, and her behavior hurt the new kidnap victim, Isa Redman.

   It would be unfair to Isa Redman to give her a lighter punishment. "

Jenny nodded, "I talked to Isa Redman. During her kidnapping period, Sophia had been delivering food to her, and she was the only one who didn't hurt her. She could feel Sophia's guilt and Tangled, she once asked Sophia for help.

   Sophia didn't rescue her, but she didn't tell the other accomplices either.

  So, I agree with Jackson, Sophia was probably coerced into committing a crime. "

  Luke waved his hand, interrupting the discussion between the two parties, "I will report this matter to Rhett.

  Jenny, you are in charge of contacting Sophia's stepmother and telling her the results of this investigation. "

   "Yes, sir."

   "Others, finish what you are doing first, and we will discuss this matter tonight." After Luke finished speaking, he took the documents and went to the director's office.

eight pm.

  The case was solved and the hostages were successfully rescued. It was originally a day worth celebrating.

  But because of Sophia, everyone was a little unhappy, and no one mentioned going to the bar to celebrate, so they went back to their homes.

   Luke asked Daisy to have dinner with him.

   These two days are relatively busy, and Luke is too lazy to cook, so he directly made an appointment at a French restaurant.

  Sometimes I choose a restaurant not only because I like the food in the restaurant, but also because I like the atmosphere.

After Luke arrived at the restaurant, he ordered food in advance, sat at the dining table and played with his mobile phone, searching for news about the kidnapping case. Basically, it was the news about the kidnapping of the real estate tycoon's son Gary Sane Jr. News reports that he may have been kidnapped by an Italian Mafia family.

  Luke felt that Anthony must be having a headache now.

There is no news about the kidnapping of Isa Redman on the news. It stands to reason that the kidnapping case has been solved, the suspect has been arrested, and the hostages have been rescued. At this time, the news of the kidnapping case will also reach the media through various channels. .

  However, under Luke's proposal, Reid suppressed the news about this case, and it is still in the confidential stage, and the police officers of any department are prohibited from leaking.

  The reason why Luke made this proposal is mainly because Sophia's identity is relatively sensitive. Once exposed to the news media, things may become unpredictable.

   "Da da..." There was a familiar sound of footsteps.

  Daisy walked to the dining table, put the small satchel on the table, and sat across the table, "When did you come?"

  Luke glanced at his watch and said nonsense, "Half an hour ago."

   "You came early."

   Luke smiled, stretched out his right hand to hold her slender left hand, "I want to see you sooner."

   "Didn't you come back from Hawaii a long time ago? Then why didn't you ask me out earlier?"

   "I've been working on a case for the past two days, and it's more urgent." Luke picked up the wine dispenser and poured Daisy a glass of red wine.

   "Can you say it?"

   "Still in the confidential stage."

   "Forget it then." Daisy shrugged, "Did you order?"

   "The order is ready. There are your favorite steak, baked snails, asparagus bisque, and orange-flavored French toast."

   "Thank you, I will enjoy it." Daisy picked up the red wine glass and clinked the glass with Luke.

  Actually, Luke has another purpose for coming today, which is to consult about the impact of Sophia's experience on the judgment of the case.

  Luke knew that once Sophia's experience was made public, he would definitely receive a lighter sentence, but he was still not sure about the scale.

   But when the words came to his lips, he still didn't ask.

  The case is still in the confidential stage, and it is still his proposal. If he tells Daisy, it is tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

  If you don't tell Daisy the details of the case, but just consult the suspect, Luke feels that he is a bit of a double standard. He doesn't want to tell others and asks them to help. This is not how things are done.

   Simply don't ask, just do your job well.

  Because the food was ordered in advance, the food began to be served shortly after Daisy arrived.

  There are Daisy's favorites, and there are Luke's own favorites. The tastes of the two are not quite the same.

   The two chatted while eating, and talked about traveling to Hawaii.

  Luke also wants to ask Daisy to go to Hawaii together. He hasn't had enough fun, and traveling with his family is one feeling, and playing with Daisy is another feeling.

   Luke has found a shortcut to paid time off, depending on Daisy's time.

   Just as the two were chatting vigorously, two women walked into the restaurant, led by the waiter to a table against the wall and sat down.

  Luke casually glanced at the figure of one of the women who seemed familiar. He turned his head and watched carefully. The woman was stylishly dressed, elegant, and looked about forty years old. She was Sophia's stepmother, Kelly Lux.

   Coincidentally, I didn't expect to meet here.

   However, Kelly Lux did not see Luke because of the angle.

  Luke secretly observed Kelly Lux and the woman who was dining with her. The woman looked about fifty years old, Asian, but not from the three East Asian countries. She had a darker complexion, ordinary clothes, and looked a little reserved.

   Jenny has already notified Kelly Lacus, but she didn't go to the police station in the afternoon, so she must be very conflicted.

  The stepdaughter who had been missing for ten years was suddenly found, and she still appeared as a kidnapper. Perhaps she thought more about things than the police.

   "Dingling..." Luke's cell phone rang, and he took out his cell phone to see that it was Anthony's number.

   "Hi, I'm Luke."

   "How is the investigation of Isa Redman's kidnapping going?"

   "It was just detected today. The suspect was arrested and the hostages were rescued."

   "Oh, the secrecy work is good, even I haven't heard the news."

   "Although the case has been solved, there have been some minor problems, so the case has not been announced to the public for the time being."

   "Is there anything I need to know?"

   "Yes, I do have something to tell you." Luke looked around, "I'm in the restaurant now, it's not convenient to talk, come to my office tomorrow. If you're busy, I can find you."

   "Why tomorrow, come and find me now."

   "No, I don't want to see your face at night, I will have nightmares."

   "Comeon, if you take action today, you might be able to catch a big fish."

  Luke was a little surprised, "It seems that the progress of the investigation is not bad."

   "Yes, that sketch you drew worked, we found the person who ordered the thief to steal your ID in Hawaii.

  Consultant Li, you also have a contribution here. "

  Luke glanced at his watch, "When are you going to act?"

   "Around eleven o'clock in the evening."

   "OK, give me an address, I'll be there before ten o'clock." Luke also wanted to know which **** was behind his back.

  Daisy put down her knife and fork and asked, "Do you have a mission?"

   "It's not counted, let's digest it after eating."

  At ten thirty in the evening.

  Near Los Angeles International Airport.

  On a wide road leading to the airport, Luke parked the car on the side of the road and met Anthony.

  Anthony handed Luke a cigarette, lit one himself, took a sip, and pointed to the sky with his finger holding the cigarette, "The weather is good tonight, is that Sirius?"

  Luke also took a puff of a cigarette, and glanced around, "I haven't had a good rest for several nights in a row. I didn't come out tonight to watch the stars with you."

   "Don't worry, that **** who is plotting against you behind his back will fall into his own trap, you just have to wait quietly, trust me, hehe." Anthony smiled confidently.

  Luke also probably guessed, "That guy just returned to Los Angeles?"

   "That's right, he booked a flight ticket from Hawaii back to Los Angeles today, and he also made an appointment for a pick-up service.

  I have arranged for someone to pick him up. "

   "Fuck!

  I was put together by this guy, and I didn't even feel like continuing to play in Hawaii, but he continued to stay in Hawaii and didn't come back until today.

   It's not fair. "

  Anthony smiled, "I know, so I chose this place, you can use your body to express your inner emotions."

   "You are so sweet." Luke smiled and asked, "How did you find him?"

  “I checked all the flights from Los Angeles to Hawaii before and after you went to Hawaii. On March 12, there was a male passenger who was very similar to the suspect in the sketch. We called up the airport surveillance and found that he had no companions.

   This made me think he was very suspicious, so I searched him and found out that he was a detective. "

   Luke concluded, "That is to say, this guy was probably hired to keep me from returning to Los Angeles from Hawaii, and after he instructed the thief to steal my documents, he took the opportunity to spend a vacation in Hawaii."

   "That's right, this guy is very calculating. If it were me, I would really want to beat him up." Anthony rubbed his hands, and changed the topic, "By the way, don't you have news to tell me? What news?"

   "The mastermind of the kidnapping of Isa Redman was Hugo Choudhury, and this unlucky guy was directly shot to death.

  According to the confessions of other suspects, it was the father of the victim whom he contacted, and he also claimed to be Mr. V. As for why he called himself Mr. V, his accomplices did not know. "

  Anthony thought for a while, "Do you suspect that Hugo Choudhury's self-proclaimed Mr. V is related to the **** V letter found on the yacht in the case of the kidnapping of the real estate tycoon's son Gary Sane Jr?"

  Luke said, "But both cases are related to the letter V, which is probably not a coincidence.

If Hugo Choudhury is really related to the kidnapping of Gary Sane Jr., I don't think it is necessary for him to remind the police to connect the two cases. Leads related to the kidnapping of Gary Sane Jr.

   According to my guess, Hugo Choudhury should have thought about the possibility of the family members of the hostages calling the police.

  He called himself Mr. V, which probably caused a misunderstanding to the police, making the police think that the person who kidnapped Isa Redman and the person who kidnapped Gary Sane Jr. were the same group, misleading the police to investigate the case. "Luke continued to analyze,

  “If my inference is correct, it means that Hugo Choudhury had nothing to do with the kidnapping of the real estate tycoon's son Gary Sane Jr., but he knew that the letter V appeared in blood on the yacht.

   And I have read all the kidnapping news, but there is no report about the blood letter V in the news. How did he know the details of the crime? "

   "You're right, this detail has not been announced to the public." Anthony guessed immediately, "Do you think he has something to do with the FBI insider?"

   "This is just my guess, and it may also be a coincidence. But as long as there is such a possibility, we have to guard against it.

   You should know that kidnapping cases are generally investigated by the FBI. If Isa Redman's father hadn't had enough energy and persistence, this case would not have been transferred from the FBI to the police department.

  If this case is investigated by the FBI, think about the consequences. "

  Anthony's face was serious, "I will definitely dig out that bastard! I swear."

"Waiting for your good news." This is another reason why Luke told Reid not to announce the case for the time being. The mastermind of the case, Hugo Choudhury, is dead. No one can guarantee whether there are other people involved in the kidnapping case. .

  Even if there is, the clues have been cut off, and other methods of investigation are still needed.

   "Woooo..." A car drove over and stopped on the side of the road not far away.

   Several big men rushed out from the side of the road, opened the car door, raised their pistols and shouted, "FBI!"

   "Stay still, put your hands up."

   "Put your head in your hands and get out of the car."

  Amidst the yelling, a white man was pushed out of the car. Luke walked over to check. This man was very similar to the sketch he made.

  The white man was held down on the ground for a body search, and after his hands were handcuffed, he was dragged to Luke and Anthony by two detectives.

  Luke raised his chin and smiled, "Hey, boy, do you still know me?"

  The white man's complexion changed slightly, then he calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.

  Anthony smiled, "Is he looking down on you? Why do I feel that he is more relaxed after seeing you."

   "Shut up." Luke glanced at him and continued, "What's your name?"

   "Colin Pereira."

   "Do you know why you were arrested?"

   "No."

   "The answer was very straightforward." Luke said solemnly, "We suspect that you were involved in a kidnapping case, please come back with us to investigate."

  Colin Pereira tentatively asked, "Do you have an arrest warrant?"

  Anthony shook his head, "No, we don't need that thing."

  Hearing this, Colin Pereira not only did not relax, but his body trembled, "I really didn't participate in any kidnapping case, I was just traveling to Hawaii."

   Luke said, "You should know who I am, I am standing in front of you, and the FBI is also there, you are still lying.

   Do you think I'm an idiot, or do you think he's an idiot? "

  Anthony smiled, showing his big white teeth, "People who treat me like an idiot usually have already gone to see God.

  No, it should be Satan.

  God will not take in those heinous bastards. He pointed to the dark wasteland around him, "Do you want to choose a place for yourself?" "

  Colin Pereira looked at Luke, then at Anthony, "No, I don't want to cause trouble, and I'm not involved in the kidnapping case.

  I admit that I took a commission, that's all. "

  Luke pressed, "What commission?"

   Colin Pereira sighed, "Someone hired me to prevent you from returning to Los Angeles."

"Why?"

"I have no idea."

   "Who told you to do this?"

"I..." Colin Pereira looked embarrassed and said after a long struggle, "I didn't ask her name, she is a middle-aged white woman, she has red hair and wears a beautiful diamond necklace, Very generous."

   "Are you sure it's red hair?"

"Yes."

  Anthony took out his phone and found a photo, "Is it her?"

   "That's right, it's her."

  Luke also took the phone and looked at it, "Who is she?"

  Anthony whispered, "Gary Sane Jr.'s mother."

   "Is it biological?"

   "Little Gary Sane also has red hair." After Anthony finished speaking, he patted Colin Pereira on the shoulder, "Man, thank you, the clues you provided are very important.

   Also, I just told a white lie, we have a warrant. "

Hearing Anthony's words, Colin Pereira breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I really have nothing to do with the kidnapping case, everything I say is true, I'm just a detective, that's all .”

  Anthony said, "Whether you know it or not, you are indeed suspected of participating in a kidnapping case, which is very bad for you."

   "Hey, I know the rules, you can tell me what you need me to do. Just give me a favorable plea deal."

   Seeing the other party being so good, Anthony smiled, "Dude, I'm starting to like you a little bit."

   Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass! !
