Los Angeles Detective Chapter 335

   Chapter 335 The Truth

  Luke lifts his foot.

  Manny floated up from the water, grasped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, and took a deep breath, "I can't swim, let me go up, please."

   "Who is the idiot?"

   "Sorry, I said the wrong thing, no one is an idiot."

   "Since it has been said, there is always someone who is an idiot."

   "I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot, drag me up." There was a trace of pleading in Manny's voice.

   "Why should I drag you up, give me a reason?"

   Manny choked out, "You dragged me off the platform."

   "The answer is wrong." Luke raised his foot and stepped on Manny's head again, without any mercy on his face.

  I drove him to the lake to fish, and kindly helped him catch the fish, but the boy kicked himself into the lake. Fortunately, he can swim, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

   Some minors simply don't deserve sympathy.

   This kid named Manny is a spoiled bully.

  You're welcome to him.

  Manny shouted quickly, "I fell by myself, I fell into the lake by myself."

  Luke raised his foot, "That's right, you have to be smart to get out of the water."

   "I'm so cold, I feel like I'm going to be sick, please drag me up here."

   "Don't pretend to be pitiful with me, I don't accept this set."

   "Then how are you willing to drag me up?

   Do you want money? My mommy has a lot of money, I can ask her to give you whatever you want. "

   "Why does it feel like you're tempting me to commit a crime, you kid is really bad." Luke raised his foot again.

   "nonono, please don't do this, I will listen to you whatever you want me to do.

   I feel like I'm drowning, stop stomping on my head. "

   "As long as you hold onto the rod, you won't drown. As long as you answer my questions well, I'll drag you up."

   "Ask? I'll tell you everything."

   "You wrote that threatening letter on the windowsill?"

"Yes."

   "Is it handwritten?"

   "is printed."

   "Tell me about the content of the threatening letter."

  Manny recalled a moment, saying, "'Mr. Cruise.

   I don't think getting engaged is a wise decision, you're just fascinated by that woman for a while.

  She is not as good as you think, she has been deceiving you, she came with a purpose...'”

  Manny's narration basically matches the content of the threatening letter, and Luke can be sure that the threatening letter was indeed written by him.

   Luke continued, "Does your mother know about this?"

   "I didn't tell her before I wrote the threatening letter, but then...she found out and scolded me.

   But I can feel that she is happy. "

   "How to prove that you wrote it?"

   "I wrote it on my laptop, and then linked it to my home printer to print it. I should be able to find the records."

   "Where is your computer?"

   "It's in the villa in the manor. I usually take it with me."

   "If the engagement ceremony goes ahead, how are you going to ruin it?"

   "I don't know how to do anything, I just want to scare my grandfather and make him quit, that's all."

   "After you go back, take the initiative to find Veron Cruz to admit this matter, understand?"

   "I see, I will definitely do what you said."

   "If you dare to talk nonsense, the next time you accidentally fall into the water, don't expect me to save you."

   "I won't talk nonsense, I accidentally fell into the lake while fishing, and then you rescued me.

  I am very grateful to you, and I am also very moved, so I will tell you about writing the threatening letter. "

   "You're welcome." Lu pulled up the fishing rod and dragged him out of the lake.

  Manny seemed to be pardoned, and he collapsed on the platform, breathing heavily, sobbing softly, "Woo..."

   It's not necessarily a bad thing to be taught a lesson by Luke today.

   Subsequently, Luke drove back to the manor.

   At this time, Veron Cruise was standing at the gate of the manor, as if preparing to welcome guests. Seeing that Luke and Manny were wet, he wondered, "Boys, what happened?"

  Manny looked at Luke, "I accidentally fell into the lake, and Mr. Li rescued me.

  Grandfather, I have something to tell you. "

"What's up?"

  Manny hesitated for a moment, "If I do something wrong, will you forgive me?"

  Fon Cruz laughed, "It's not terrible to make mistakes. As long as you know your mistakes and correct them, you are still a good boy."

   "I... that threatening letter was written by me."

  Fon Cruise froze for a moment, looked at Luke, then at Manny, "Why are you doing this?"

   "I don't like her, I don't want her to be my grandmother.

  sorry, I know it's wrong to do this, and I won't do it in the future. "

  Fon Cruz looked complicated and sighed, "Does your mother know about this?"

   "No, please don't tell her, I don't want to disappoint her."

   "I don't need to tell her, but you have to promise me one condition."

   "What condition?"

   "You have to clean the dishes tonight."

   "Why? Aren't there maids and dishwashers?"

   "If you do something wrong, you will be punished. If you don't want to brush, then I will tell your mother and let him educate you."

   "I promise you, I will brush."

   "Remember, this is not an example."

   "Did you forgive me?"

   "I can forgive you.

   But in exchange, you will respect Ms. Chanel Carr in the future. "

   "I don't like her, and I wouldn't call him grandma."

   "You don't have to like her, but you have to maintain enough respect, can you do it?"

"Yes."

   "Very well, hurry up and change your clothes, don't catch a cold."

  Manny glanced at Luke, then left.

  Fon Cruise looked at Luke aside, "Mr. Li, is what this kid said true?"

"Not at all.

   This bad boy tricked me to the lake, trying to kick me into the lake, but he accidentally fell in himself.

  I educated him and told him it was wrong to tease people.

  We chatted pretty well, he is not bad in nature, and he voluntarily admitted to writing the threatening letter.

  The content of the letter also matches. "

   "Thank you, you solved a problem of mine.

  Go change your wet clothes, Chanel Carr is coming, let me introduce you. "

  Luke reminded, "Don't tell Ms. Carl about the threatening letter for now."

   "I see." Veron Cruise nodded slightly.

  Luke returned to the guest room, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.

   When he came out again, he saw a Mercedes-Benz driving in the distance, and Veron Cruz went up to meet him, and opened the right rear door of the car himself.

  A woman got out of the car. She was a little far away and couldn't see her face clearly, but she seemed to be a little older.

  Luke guessed the other party's identity and walked to the gate of the manor.

Veron Cruz led the woman over, "Chanel, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Luke Li, who is also the security consultant I invited. He will ensure that our engagement ceremony goes smoothly. "

   "Hello, Ms. Carl." Luke looked at each other.

   Chanel Carr looks a little younger than her actual age, with light makeup on her face, stylish clothes, and a small satchel on her back. She has an elegant manner and a kind face.

   "Mr. Li, nice to meet you."

  A man in his thirties stepped out of the cab. He was of medium build, somewhat thin, with blond hair and a blue tattoo on his forearm. "Madam, if there is nothing else, I will leave."

   "Galken, remember to attend the engagement ceremony." Chanel Carr left a word and walked towards the manor.

   "Okay, ma'am." The man responded and was about to get in the car and leave.

   "Dude, you have a nice car. I've always wanted a Mercedes."

   "Sorry, I don't know you."

   "My name is Luke Lee, what's your name?"

   "Just call me Galken."

  Luke spread his hands, "Don't we know each other now?"

   "Sorry, I don't like other people driving my car." Galken still refused.

   "You have character, I like people with character, are you a friend of Ms. Chanel Carr?"

   "I'm her assistant."

   "Your relationship seems very close, I thought you were relatives."

   "No, you guessed wrong.

  Man, if you like Mercedes, you can rent one and test drive it.

  I still have something to do, see you another day. " Galken got into the car and drove away.

eight pm.

   After finishing the meal, Luke returned to the guest room to rest.

After he washed up, he sat at the table and made audio and video calls. He and Ortie had been in touch. After learning from Marielle Crews that Chanel Carr had an unusual relationship with his assistant, he asked Ortie to Check out the profile of Assistant Galken.

   Orti answered the voice video, with a white mask on his face, "I hope I didn't scare you."

   "You are ready to sleep."

   "No, I'm waiting for you. Watch magazines and TV by the way."

   "Have you found the information on Chanel Karl and Galken?"

   "Yes, I just sorted it out."

"tell me the story."

   "Chanel Carr's assistant is Galcon Furlong.

  Date of Birth, December 8, 1990.

  He is an orphan who was sent to a welfare institution shortly after he was born, and was later adopted by a couple.

   This couple is Chanel Carr's sister and brother-in-law.

  He had been living in New York until three years ago when he came to Los Angeles to settle with Chanel Carr. "

  Luke asked, "Who is Galken's real mother?"

  "This kind of information is generally kept confidential, and it will take some time and effort to find out.

   I was worried that it would be too late, so instead of investigating, I checked Chanel Carr's medical records.

   It was discovered that she had been hospitalized at Rolle Maternity Hospital in New York between December 6 and December 15, 1990.

   And this hospital is also the hospital where Galcon Furlong was born. Orti asked back, "Don't you think it's a coincidence?" "

   Luke asked, "What about the blood type?"

   "Chanel Carr has type B blood and Galken has type O blood."

   "In other words, they are likely to be mother and child."

  Orti said, "I think so too."

   “Key evidence is lacking.”

  Orti took off the mask, smiled sweetly, "Luke, you are a detective now, not a policeman.

  What you are facing is not a suspect, you don't need the so-called key evidence, and there is no doubt.

  You just need to tell the employer what you found and communicate in time.

  I believe he will have his own judgment.

  If the employer asks for key evidence, it is not too late for us to spend more time and energy to find it. "

   "You're right, I'm the one who got into a dead end, and I'll communicate with Foon Cruz tomorrow." After all, it was the first time for Luke to accept the commission, and he habitually brought into the rhythm of the investigation.

   "By the way, I have already found out who wrote the threatening letter."

"who is it?"

   "It's Fern Cruz's grandson Manny, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old bastard, who was educated by me and took the initiative to ask Fern Cruz to admit it."

   "Good job.

  Children of this age are the most difficult to deal with, so it seems that as long as the engagement ceremony goes well, our commission will be completed.

  However, have you found any clues to another threatening letter? Are the two threatening letters related? "

   "No, I asked Manny, and he just wrote a threatening letter."

   Orti was a little worried, "Do you think another person who wrote a threatening letter will destroy the engagement ceremony?"

  Luke also felt that there was such a possibility, and asked, "Have you found the information on Isabel Cruise, the daughter-in-law of Veron Cruise?"

  "Found it.

  Isabel Cruz is 51 years old and has been married twice.

   Divorced from her first husband 18 years ago, she has custody of a daughter.

  Thirteen years ago, she married her current husband, and gave birth to a daughter, Irene, two years later. "

  Luke thought for a while, "What was Isabel Cruz's previous name?"

   "Isabelle Ellis."

   "I see, good night."

   "When the task is over, tell me, and I will pick you up."

   "I can't wait." After Luke finished speaking, he hung up the audio and video.

  He vaguely guessed the person who wrote the other threatening letter.

  The next morning.

  Luke invited Veron Cruise to the bedroom of the guest room.

  Fon Cruise entered the door and asked, "Mr. Li, do you still have the habit of living here?"

   "It's good, I occasionally have the illusion that I'm on vacation." Luke asked the other party to sit down and said, "Mr. Cruise, except for Manny's threatening letter.

   I also found out about Ms. Chanel Carr. "

   "Please speak." Veron Cruz took a deep breath, showing a serious look.

   "Before I say anything, I want to ask you two questions."

"you say?"

   "What blood type are you?"

   "Type B."

   "When did you and Ms. Chanelle Carr separate?"

   "March 20th, 1990. I remember this day well and will never forget it. Any questions?"

  Luke continued, "Ms. Carl has a sister, did you know that?"

   "I know, I heard it lives in New York."

  "Ms. Carl's sister adopted a boy who was born on December 8, 1990 at the Rolle Maternity Hospital.

   Coincidentally, between December 6 and December 15, 1990, Ms. Carr was also hospitalized at Rolle Maternity Hospital in New York. "

  Fon Cruz frowned, "Do you suspect that Chanel has a child?"

   "Did she tell you?"

  Fon Cruz spread her hands, "No, I know she was married, but she never said anything about having children.

  Why is she hiding it? I love her and don't care about that at all. "

   Luke secretly thought, you don't care, but your child does.

  If they knew that Chanel Carr had a child, they would definitely object even more.

   "Mr. Cruise, that child has type O blood."

   "Type O blood." Veron Cruz muttered, he was surprised just now that he only thought of Chanel Carr having a child.

  But after Luke reminded him, he thought of another possibility, and calculated, "You said that child is mine?"

  Luke shrugged, "That's up to you."

  "That's right, we were still together when Chanel was pregnant, that child should be mine, it must be, Chanel is not the kind of person who messes around, and it was also my reason for breaking up.

  Damn it, Chanel gave birth to my baby and I didn't know it!

   God, why are you telling me now? "

  Von Cruise looked very excited, stood up, and walked around the bedroom, "Mr. Li, have you found any clues about that child?

What's his name?

  Can I see his picture? "

   "No photo needed, you've seen him."

  Fon Cruz thought for a while and guessed, "It's Galken, I always thought he looked familiar.

  With the same blond hair and face shape as me, he resembles me when I was younger.

   Absolutely can't go wrong. "

  Luke said, "That child is Galken.

  However, whether he is the child of you and Chanel Carr cannot be fully confirmed. "

   "I know, you've done a good job." Veron Cruise came over and held Luke's hand firmly, "Mr. Li, thank you, thank you very much.

   Solved the doubts in my heart. "

   "This is what I should do." Even for the sake of money, Luke has to do his best.

   "Mr. Li, if Galken is my son, as you guessed, why did Chanel hide it?"

  Luke said, "I'm afraid only the person involved knows about this.

  Why don't you ask her yourself? "

  Fon Cruise took a deep breath, "You are right, we should have a good talk."
