Los Angeles Detective Chapter 549

  Jelson Pharmaceuticals.

  Xiao Hei got out of the car, looked at the tall and magnificent office building, and said with emotion, "Wow, I didn't expect the building of a pharmaceutical company to be so well built."

  Luke said, "The pharmaceutical industry is a profiteering industry. The production cost of drugs is often relatively low, but their market price is very high. A drug that costs only a few dollars can be sold for tens of dollars or even hundreds of dollars.

   Do you think they will be short of money? "

  The two walked into the lobby, and a young Caucasian woman in a professional dress was sitting at the front desk, with exquisite makeup, staring at the computer in front of her.

  Xiao Hei knocked on the table, "Hey, beauty, is the president of your company here?"

  The white woman raised her head and looked at Luke and Xiao Hei, "What do you want?"

   "We want to meet with the president of your company."

   "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

   "No, but we have this." Xiao Hei showed his police badge.

  The white woman laughed, "Sorry, I can't help you.

  If you want to see our president, you must make an appointment in advance. "

   "Can I make an appointment now?"

   "Sorry, this is the reception desk, I'm not in charge of making reservations."

  Xiao Hei looked at the empty lobby on the first floor, "Then who should we make an appointment with?"

  The white woman didn't answer, and continued to look down at the computer.

  Xiao Hei looked at Luke aside, "She doesn't care about us."

  Luke said, "Jelson Pharmaceuticals is a big taxpayer, so of course we don't need to ignore us."

  Xiao Hei spread his hands, "Then what shall we do?"

  Luke said, "I don't know either, maybe when the strange death of a drug tester in their company hits the news.

   It would be more appropriate for us to come with a search warrant. "

   "Such a breaking news, it will definitely make it to Los Angeles, no, the headlines in the United States."

  Luke said, "You underestimate the influence of Jelson Pharmaceuticals. Its medicines are sold all over the world, and it is likely to become the headlines of the world's news."

   "Congratulations to your company in advance. I believe your boss will definitely give you a promotion, salary, and congratulations in advance." Xiao Hei smiled and said to the white woman at the front desk, ready to leave.

  The white woman couldn't sit still, "Wait, what did you mean just now?"

  Luke said, "The tester of your company died."

  The white woman asked, "I haven't heard similar news, can you tell me more about it?"

   Luke asked back, "Are you the president of the company?"

  The white woman said helplessly, "Wait a minute, I'll contact you."

  The white woman picked up the landline next to her, made a call, said a few words, and then asked Luke, "What do you call me?"

   "Captain, Robbery and Murder, Luke Lee."

  Ten minutes later, a white middle-aged man in a suit with a sparse head came over, shook hands with Luke and smiled, "I'm Royce Woodman, vice president of Jelson Corporation.

  Captain Li, it's an honor to meet you, but also very afraid to meet you. "

   "Sorry, Vice President Royce Woodman, we came a little suddenly."

   "You two, please come with me, let's talk in a quiet place." Royce Woodman made a gesture of invitation, and led the two to the reception room on the third floor. The female assistant served coffee for the three, closed the door and left.

  Royce Woodman took the initiative to ask, "Captain Li, I heard from the receptionist at the front desk that you suspect that our company's drug tester was killed?"

  Luke tentatively asked, "Is there a similar situation?"

   "Not as far as I know."

  Luke took out the information of the deceased Rochel Horn, "This is the information of the tester."

  Royce Woodman called his assistant, "Go and check to see if this person is a drug tester from our company."

  After the assistant left, Royce Woodman asked, "Captain Li, how do you know that he is our company's drug tester?"

  Luke took out a copy of part of the forensic test report, "According to the police laboratory test, five drug components were found in the deceased's body, four of which match the components of the Nebivolol antihypertensive drug produced by Jelson Company."

  Royce Woodman read the report carefully and said, "Nebivolol antihypertensive drug is already on the market, and there is no need to test the drug at all. You must have made a mistake.

   Moreover, the drug ingredients are only similar, not exactly the same. It is likely that other companies are developing similar antihypertensive drugs and have nothing to do with our company. "

  Luke tentatively asked, "Then is your company developing similar drugs?"

  Royce Woodman smiled, with a firm tone, "It's not necessary at all, Nebivolol is the best antihypertensive drug."

   After a while, the female assistant returned to the reception room again and said, "President Woodman, the person on the file is not a drug tester of our company."

  Royce Woodman spread his hands, "Captain Li, you heard that."

  Luke asked, "Then which company do you think is developing similar antihypertensive drugs?"

  Royce Woodman curled his lips, "Wow, this is an offensive topic, and I don't really want to answer it.

  I can tell you exactly that this person has nothing to do with our company. "

  Luke stood up, "President Woodman, thank you for your assistance, I believe your words.

   Still, I have to warn you.

  Better watch out for the all-pervasive reporters, we can find out that Rochelle Horne was a drug tester, and so can those reporters.

  I believe what you say, but those reporters may not believe it, and they won't be as easy-talking as me.

   If they write indiscriminately, it is likely to have a certain negative impact on Jelson.

a kind reminder. "

   "Wait." Royce Woodman also stood up, "Are you saying that those reporters also think that the deceased is a drug tester of our company?"

   "I don't know, maybe... this is what some people want to see, as we will investigate here.

  I think you should know more about the pharmaceutical industry than I do. "

  Royce Woodman rubbed his cheeks and said to the assistant on the side, "You go out first."

  The assistant closed the door, and Royce Woodman continued, "Listen, I don't know who is playing tricks, but the deceased is definitely not a drug tester of our company, and has nothing to do with our company."

  Luke said, "Then which company's drug tester do you think he is?

  comeon, tell me. "

   "I don't know." Royce Woodman licked his lips and whispered, "However, I heard that Kallman Pharmaceuticals is also developing a new antihypertensive drug recently, and its ingredients may be similar to Nebivolol antihypertensive drug."

  Luke has an impression of Kalman Company, which is also a pharmaceutical company in Los Angeles, "Thank you for the clues you provided, we will investigate this matter as soon as possible."

   "I'm very happy to help you." Royce Woodman smiled, and changed the topic, "If there are media reports that involve our company, I hope the police can clarify it in time."

"I will."

   "Thank you." Royce Woodman shook hands with Luke and sent the two out of the reception room.

   Xiao Hei glanced at the assistant standing not far away, and sighed, "I don't like dealing with these people."

  Luke said, "The suspect will not commit crimes according to your preferences."

   "You're right, at least we got what we wanted."

   Half an hour later, Luke led the team to Kallman Pharmaceuticals.

  The car was stopped by security guards when it drove to the gate of Kallman Pharmaceutical Company. Xiao Hei showed his police badge, and the police car was released.

  After entering the yard, Luke smelled an unusual smell.

  Luke got out of the car. The ground was wet. He looked up at the building in front of him. The whole building was ten stories high, and the lower four floors were intact. The upper building seemed to be on fire, and it was completely black. Judging from the outside situation, the burning floor was probably the sixth floor.

  Xiao Hei also looked at the office building, "It looks like a company with a story."

  Then, the two entered the lobby on the first floor, and Luke went straight to the front desk, showing his police badge, "I want to find the person in charge here."

   "Please wait a moment." The female employee at the front desk picked up the landline and made a call.

   A few minutes later, a white man wearing glasses came over, "I'm Fred Kramer, the research and development director of Kallman Corporation, which police officer is looking for me?"

"it's me.

  I am Captain of the Robbery and Murder Division, Luke Lee. "

   "Hello, Captain Li, are you here for the arson case?"

   "No, I'm here because of Rochelle Horn."

   "Sorry, I don't remember the name."

   Luke said, "He is a drug tester."

  Fred Cramer frowned slightly, "A drug tester?"

"Yes."

   "What drug?"

   “An antihypertensive drug similar to Nebivolol.”

   "Can I have a look at Rochelle Horn's profile?"

   Luke handed him Rochelle Horn's photos and information.

  After reading it, Fred Kramer returned it to Luke, "His information looks familiar, but I can't be sure."

  Xiao Hei urged, "Then check the list of drug testing personnel in your company."

   "I hope so too, but..." Fred Kramer spread his hands, his tone becoming more and more angry, "As you can see, our company building caught fire, and the laboratory and data for developing new antihypertensive drugs were all burned.

  The information of the drug tester is also in it.

  The fruits of our years of hard work have been burned. "

   "In other words, your company is indeed developing new antihypertensive drugs?"

  “Yes, there are more than one billion hypertensive patients in the world, and our company hopes to improve their conditions and even cure them through the development of new drugs.

   But it was all ruined by a fire, a lot of data was lost, and we had to start all over again. "

  Xiao Hei said, "Does your company not have network data?"

  "No, the network is the most insecure. I don't want the results of hard research and development to be stolen without anyone knowing it. All our research and development materials are stored in the hard disk, which is the safest.

   But unfortunately, some people do not want this kind of drug that can benefit the world to come out. "

   "Do you think someone intentionally fires the fire?"

   "You should have seen how badly the building burned.

  This building is made of fire-resistant materials. Under normal circumstances, even if it catches fire, it is impossible to burn so badly. "

   "Who do you think set the fire?"

  Fred Cramer said in a firm tone, "Obviously those who don't want the successful development of new antihypertensive drugs."

  Luke raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you already have a suspect?"
