Los Angeles Detective Chapter 163

  Chapter 163 Vampire Queen

Nine p.m.

  Detective Bureau, interrogation room.

  Augus Tokar was handcuffed to the interrogation chair.

  Xiao Hei smiled, "Mr. Vampire, do you like this place?"

  Augus glared at Xiao Hei, "I don't want to talk to liars."

   "Hey..." Xiao Hei laughed cheaply.

  Luke asked, "Augus, do you know why you were arrested?"

   "I... probably know, I had a little drink that night, and I was going to make a little joke, but it was a little too much."

   "What night?"

   "On the evening of June 1st."

  Luke habitually turned his pen, "You call that a little joke?"

   "I admit that it is a bit too much. I am willing to compensate and apologize to her face to face, hoping to get her forgiveness."

  Luke pulls out a picture of Nicole, "Did you mean her?"

   "Yes, I'm sorry."

   "What did you do to her?"

   "I bit her and freaked her out. I didn't expect that, the braces were so sharp, and the vibe made it easy to feel like a vampire.

   If you've been to that bar, you'll understand. "

   "Have you bitten anyone else?"

  "No, it was the first time that night. To be honest, it didn't feel very good. It was crazy. I feel very sorry for that woman. How is she doing now?"

   Luke asked back, "Didn't you see your arrest warrant?"

  Augus glared at Xiao Hei, "I was also frightened by a black vampire. I didn't pay much attention to it."

  Little underworld, "Did you mean **** just now?"

   "No, black vampire." Augustus felt guilty, "I don't want to talk about this topic anymore.

  What charges are you arresting me for? Injury by negligence?

  Luke did not answer the question, "You first describe the crime process."

  Augus froze for a moment, as if he felt something was wrong, "What charges are you arresting me for? If you don't tell me, I won't say it either."

"Intentional Homicide."

   "What? Are you kidding me! How could I kill someone? I just bit her. The wound wasn't deep at all. How could she have died?"

   Luke said, "She was scared to death."

   "My dear, are you guys watching a joke? How can people be scared to death?"

  Little underworld, "It's past nine o'clock now, we don't sleep in a comfortable bed, but play jokes here with you, a fake vampire, do you think it's possible?"

   "I bought it, I bought it, how could this happen? She didn't die at all, she just passed out." Augustus kept shaking his head.

  Xiao Hei corrected, "You thought she was fainted by fright, but she was actually frightened to death."

   "No, people can't be scared to death, I won't believe it. Don't try to frame me." Augustus became more and more emotional.

  Luke took out a photo of Nicole after her death, "See for yourself, have we lied to you."

  Augus took a look, showing a look of horror, "nonono, how is this possible.

   It's none of my business.

  She just fainted at that time, she didn't die at all.

   Someone must have killed her after I left.

  It must be like this, someone must be trying to frame me! "

   Luke took advantage of the situation and asked, "Who is going to frame you?"

  Augus voice trembled, "I don't know, but there must be such a person, I can't kill anyone!"

  Luke said, "From the existing evidence, the victim was scared to death by you.

   If you think someone is setting you up, show the evidence. "

   "I don't know. I'm not a policeman. Isn't it your police's duty to investigate cases? Why do you ask me to take evidence.

  I pay taxes.

  You can't do this to me. Augustus took a deep breath, as if remembering something, "Is the victim really dead?" "

   "Exactly."

"Since she is dead and she can't speak, how can I prove that I was scared to death?" The more Augustus said, the more confident he became, "You are mistaken, I am not the murderer, I just made a little joke .”

   "You're right, it was indeed just a little joke. It's just that your little joke happened to be filmed." Luke took out another screenshot of the video of Augustus committing the crime and put it in front of him.

   "I bought it..." Augustus was stunned again when he saw the video, his face was a little complicated, frightened, surprised, and confused.

   "I need to see a lawyer."

   Slam the interrogation room door.

  Xiao Hei complained, "Whoever has the time to help him call a lawyer, it's already ten o'clock in the evening.

   Shall we spend the night with him.

  I can guarantee that he is the murderer. "

   Luke patted him on the shoulder, "Go back to sleep.

  Wait for the results of the tooth marks identification tomorrow, and then take him down in one go. "

   "Good idea." Xiao Hei smiled and rolled his eyes, "By the way, can I stay overnight at your house today?"

  Luke smiled, "My bed is too hard, you can't sleep well."

  Are you kidding, he won't take in a man.

  Detective station, lounge.

  It was past eight in the morning.

"ha…"

  Xiao Hei yawned, and slowly sat up from the sofa, "Damn sofa, it's so uncomfortable to sleep on."

  Last night, Xiao Hei didn't go home, but slept in the lounge.

  The sofa is very soft, but he is not used to sleeping on it.

   uncomfortable.

   Tossing and turning until the middle of the night before falling asleep.

  Xiao Hei left the waiting room, Raymond and the deputy team had already arrived.

   "Guys, good morning." Xiao Hei greeted and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up.

  The deputy team frowned, "Why did you come out of the lounge? You didn't go home."

  Xiao Hei nodded, "It was too late to investigate the case last night, so I didn't go back."

  The deputy captain shook his head, "This doesn't look like your boy...you broke up with your girlfriend?"

   "Boring old man." Xiao Hei shook his head and went to wash up.

   "Hey..." After leaving the door, he couldn't help sighing, and muttered, "Why do you have to get married, isn't it good to fall in love?

Why? "

   Xiao Hei looked distressed, and after washing his face with cold water, he became more refreshed.

   When I returned to the office, I found that there were a few more people in the office, including a nasty white man in a suit, "Wow... this is not Barrister Porter, why are you here?"

   When investigating the murder of an actress before, Porter served as a lawyer for the murderer Boris.

   "Detective Marcus, nice to meet you, I am now August Toka's lawyer."

   "Why you again?"

  Porter asked back, "Why are you investigating this case again?"

   "This is the Department of Robbery and Murder. We are responsible for investigating murder cases. Is there a problem?"

   "No, I am a professional criminal lawyer, and I happen to be well-known in this field. Everyone is willing to believe me. So, we will meet often in the future."

  Potter waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm going to meet the client, see you later."

  Watching the other party out of the office, Xiao Hei shook his head, "This guy is so fake, he actually smiled at me."

  The deputy team said seriously, "I think his smile is from the heart, and he really wants to see you."

  Xiao Hei pouted, "What do you mean? Does he have any special hobbies?"

  The deputy team explained, "He is a lawyer, and being able to come here shows that he has received a big case and a lot of money is waving to him, how could he be unhappy.

  I have seen this kind of lawyer a lot, and they are really happy to meet me.

  It's truer than my previous wives. "

  Xiao Hei asked, "Is your relationship with your ex-wife okay?"

  The deputy team showed a strange look, "Do you know why I refuse to retire at such an age?"

   "To avoid them?"

   "No, we seldom see each other again, and I will understand when you get divorced.

   Of course, I hope you never get divorced. "

  Xiao Hei curled his lips, "Old man who plays tricks."

  Luke handed Xiao Hei a burger, "Your."

   "Thank you." Xiao Hei took a sip of his coffee and ate his hamburger.

   "You don't intend to live in the lounge all the time, do you?"

  Xiao Hei asked back, "You want to take me in?"

   "Don't even think about it." Luke refused very simply.

   "Crackling..."

  The door of the office opened, and Susan walked in from the outside.

   "Everyone, there is a new case."

  The deputy team reminded, "The vampire case is not over yet, why did you arrange a new case for us?"

   "This case is also related to vampires." Susan responded and briefly introduced, "The victim's name is Angela Char, a female rock singer, who was found dead in the dressing room this morning.

   Two blood holes were found in the left neck.

  The informant is her agent.

  That's all we know now, so get ready, we're going to show up. "

  Xiao Hei finished his hamburger in six mouthfuls, took a sip of coffee, and said, "Didn't we catch the suspect Augustus Toca? Why are there new victims?"

  Susan nodded, "That's what we're looking for."

  The deputy said, "What about August's case? His lawyer has arrived."

  Susan said, "The deputy team and Raymond stayed and continued to be in charge of interrogating Augustus.

  Others follow me to the scene. "

   Ten o'clock in the morning.

   Luke and his party rushed to the Kamala Bar.

   This bar is bigger than Dracula's bar.

  The decoration style is also more modern, not a dedicated vampire-themed bar.

  However, the bar is also decorated with a lot of vampire elements, such as vampire posters, crosses, and a large coffin on the stage.

  Compared with Dracula's Bar, this place is more like a temporary arrangement, not as refined as Dracula's Bar; more rough, profiteering, blood stars, more direct, and more impactful.

  If the Dracula Bar is a relatively pure vampire, then here is a bit of a vampire plus zombie feeling.

  Xiao Hei pointed to a poster of a female vampire, "Hey, I've seen this woman...

   I remembered.

   No wonder I think the name of the victim, Angela Chall, is somewhat familiar. I have heard her rock songs before. "

   Luke asked, "How does it feel?"

  “I don't listen to much, her music is very special, it's not pure rock and roll, it adds a lot of vampire elements, it's more blood star, horror, and profiteering.

   It should be regarded as niche music.

   I don't really like it, but I have friends who do and call her the 'Queen of Vampires'. "

   "OK, let me go and see the vampire queen." Through the bar lobby, a group of people entered the backstage dressing room.

  The police have cordoned off the area. The dressing room is small, only about 20 to 30 square meters. There is a huge mirror, several swivel chairs, a cabinet against the wall, a tea table and a row of sofas.

  A woman fell down on the open space between the mirror and the coffee table.

   This is a white woman with red hair, pale cheeks, blood red lips, black eye shadow, two blood holes and teeth marks on her white neck, and a pool of blood on the ground.

  The woman is wearing a black one-piece skirt and black stockings, very sexy.

   There was also a pair of blood-red high heels under her feet.

  The whole picture looks a little weird.

  Xiao Hei checked it carefully, and said with emotion, "The vampire queen was bitten to death by a vampire!

   It's incredible! "

  After Luke checked the corpse, he looked at the situation in the house, which was very messy.

  All kinds of clothes, it looks like costumes.

  There is also a bottle of red wine and whiskey on the tea table.

  Combined with the strong smell of alcohol on the deceased, she should have drunk a lot of alcohol before she died.

  The forensic doctor and the investigation team entered the dressing room, and the dressing room suddenly seemed narrow, and Luke and others were driven out.

  A fat white man came over and looked into the dressing room.

  Xiao Hei shouted, "Hey, what are you doing?"

   "I'm Angela Char's agent."

  Luke sized up the other party. He was not tall, very fat, and had curly hair. "Are you the informant?"

"Yes."

   "What's the name?"

   "Kim Kadara."

   "I'm Inspector Luke." Luke flashed his police badge, "Are you the first to find the dead body?"

   "Exactly."

   "We want to make a note for you."

   "No problem. Angela is like my family, and I also hope to catch the murderer as soon as possible."

   "Good." Luke turned on the body camera and asked, "Since you are her manager, you should know her situation very well."

   "I arranged her itinerary."

   "Why was she here last night?"

   "Angela is about to release a new album. Last night, a publicity party was held here. Many fans and music critics came. It was a small album release."

   "What's the name of the new album?"

   "Immortality."

  Xiao Hei praised, "The name is good."

  Agent Kim said, "Thank you, I chose the name, and of course Angela is also very satisfied."

  Luke heard the name and knew it might be related to vampires, "Did the album songs be sung at the party last night?"

"some."

   "Should there be a video?"

   "Yes, I'll get it."

   Not long after, manager Kim walked over with a tablet, clicked on a video, and introduced, "This is the live recording last night."

  The video started, and the stage was pitch black, except for the silver light sticks shaking in the audience.

   Then, the lights hit the stage.

  The lighting is not particularly bright, but has a reddish glow, which adds a bit of a weird atmosphere.

  Suddenly, there was a scream from the audience.

  I saw a coffin hanging slowly above the stage.

   "Matt Butterfark squid...how did this happen?" Xiao Hei's eyes widened, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

  Agent Kim replied, "There are steel wires hanging around the coffin, which are very thin and difficult to find in dim light.

  Barely visible in the video.

my thoughts. "

  The coffin fell to the ground.

   There was a long silence.

  The cheers in the audience became more intense.

   "Poof!"

   "Poof!"

  Two explosions sounded, the coffin lid cracked, and it was thrown directly into the air, falling to the ground.

   Several bats flew out of the coffin.

   There was another burst of exclamation around.

  Two white hands protruded from the coffin, with scarlet long nails that were very scary.

"boom!"

  A red-haired woman sprang out of the coffin, turned her back to the audience, and turned her head slowly, with a fair side face, blood-red lips, and sharp fangs.

  Like a real vampire.

   "Wow..." Xiao Hei looked very engrossed.

   Kim nodded, "I designed it."

   Then, there was a blast of rock music.

   "When I wandered around the corner of your house...

  Hope my pale complexion doesn't give away my disguise...

   Just tonight are you willing to break away from the human race?

  Our unwavering love will last forever...

  When the blood pours into the soul...

you!

   will be my first hug. "

  Kim reminded in a low voice, "This song is called 'First Embrace', and it is also the title song of the album."

  After listening to it, Luke had only one feeling, this song is so freaking, normal people definitely can't appreciate it.

  Luke took the tablet from Kim's hand and put it in Xiao Hei's hand, "Look at this first, let's take notes."

   Kim pointed, "I...my tablet."

   Luke said, "The last image of the deceased before his death is also a piece of evidence, and it will be kept by the police first."

   Kim said, "This is very precious and meaningful to me. I hope you don't destroy it."

   "No one dares to destroy the evidence, and it will be returned to you after the case is solved." Luke responded, and changed the topic, "When did you find the dead body?"

  "I have been unable to contact Angela, and there was no one when I went to her house. Then I thought that she might be drunk and sleeping in the dressing room of the bar, so I asked the bar staff to open the door, and found... Angela's body.

  To be honest, it is hard for me to accept it, and I still don't want to believe it. "

   "Is your relationship good?"

   "Yes, we have worked together for many years, we are best friends, more like family."

   "Tell me about last night."

  “The show started at ten o'clock last night and ended around one o'clock in the morning.

  Angela was a little tired and said she wanted to rest for a while before going home.

  I disagreed at first, I wanted to send her home.

   But she said no, let me go first. "

   "Were you the last to see her?"

   "I don't know, but she really doesn't have any plans after the performance."

  Luke thought for a while, "Why is the show so late?"

   “To add to the vibe, around the wee hours are much better than 8pm.

  You should know that a vampire-themed album needs a horror atmosphere. "

  Luke asked, "Does Angela have any enemies?"

   "No, she is a very easy person to get along with."

   "Has she ever been attacked like this?"

   "How should I put it? Angela has a lot of fans, and these fans adore vampires. Sometimes it is inevitable that there will be some outrageous actions.

  I remember a performance where a male fan ran up the stage wearing a vampire mask and no clothes, and he hugged Angela and scared her too. "

   "Is there anyone suspicious recently?"

   Kim thought for a while, "No."

   "Is there anything unusual about Angela?"

   "Not found."

   Luke stares at Kim and asks, "Do you believe in vampires?"

   Kim said without hesitation, "Of course, I believe it. This world is too big. It is normal to have some mysterious creatures in the long river of history, isn't it?"

   "Come here first today, thank you." Luke handed the other party a business card, "If you think of any clues, you can contact me directly."

   "I will." Kim sighed and said sadly, "Inspector Luke, the case investigation has progressed, I hope you will also notify me.

   I care about Angela, she means a lot to me. "

  Mary of the survey team walked out of the dressing room, "Everyone, we have initially completed the on-site survey."

  Everyone gathered around.

   Maggie continued, "The situation at the scene is a bit complicated and messy, with many biological samples and traces. This is a shared dressing room, and it is difficult to distinguish which ones are related to the murderer.

   We're going back for further analysis.

  However, it can be confirmed that this is the first scene, and the blood should belong to the deceased himself.

  We found a red backpack on the sofa, which contained some IDs and mobile phones of the deceased, which can basically determine the identity of the deceased.

   In addition, we also found a business card in the backpack that did not belong to the deceased, which may be helpful to you. "Mary took out a transparent plastic bag, which contained a white business card.

  Luke glanced at the business card and frowned slightly. It said on the business card,

  Keves Law Firm

  Attorney, Daisy Miller

   Today I am sorting out the follow-up outline of the case.

   In order to avoid affecting the subsequent plot.

   Today it's one change and five thousand.

   Be steady.
