Los Angeles Detective Chapter 397

  Chapter 397 Trace

  Luke also noticed the abnormality, stood up and looked at the door.

  Porter pressed his right hand on the gun, ready to draw it at any time.

  The two patrolmen at the door did not come in immediately, and they were also a little embarrassed. If the person in the living room pretended to be a policeman, it would be no small matter. Maybe the other party would shoot if they jumped over the wall in a hurry.

  The safest way at this time is to stand ready, enter the house with guns in both hands, first disarm the two people, search them, and verify their identities while ensuring safety.

   But the actual operation is difficult, let alone whether the other party will cooperate, even if you cooperate with such an operation, the other party will be offended.

  If the two people in the living room are really members of the Robbery and Murder Department, they must be higher in rank than them, and they may complain to their leaders.

  Dolly White also saw the suspicion of the two police officers, "Sir, what's the problem?"

   "No." The leading white police officer took a deep breath, made a gesture with his companion behind him, and the two entered the house with their right hands on their guns.

  Seeing that the police officers came in, Luke raised his eyebrows, "Which branch are you from? The Southern Branch?"

   "Yes." The white policeman looked at the two of Luke, "sir, what do you do?"

  Porter also guessed that there might be a misunderstanding, "My name is Potter, and I used to work in the Southern Bureau.

   Now transferred to the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division of the Police Detective Bureau, this is our Captain Li.

   You should have heard his name. "

  The black patrol behind pushed the white patrol, "Hey, it's Luke Lee, the one who solved the case of the headless female corpse and won the public safety officer medal.

  I've seen him on TV, no doubt about it. "

  The white police officer looked at Potter with some familiarity, and moved his right hand from the gun, "Sorry, sir, we received the alarm and came to check the situation."

  Luke glanced at Dolly White behind him, "What is the content of the alarm?"

  “The homeowner suspects your identity as police detectives and wants us to help identify them.”

   "Then follow the procedure.

  Potter, show them the papers. "

  Porter took out his police badge and ID and handed it to the white police officer, "We are investigating the murder of Jens Jauregui."

  The white police officer took the document for verification, and then handed it back, "sorry, sir, no offense intended, this was a misunderstanding.

   If there is nothing else, we will not bother you to investigate. "

"very good."

  The two police officers apologized again, then left the living room, and whispered to Dolly White who was seeing him off, "They are real detectives, don't doubt it, and assist in the investigation."

   "Thank you, I see." Dolly White sent the two police officers outside the door, returned to the living room with some embarrassment, and said to Luke and the two,

  "Sorry, two people from the Robbery and Murder Division came this morning. I mentioned his name, but you don't recognize him. I feel something is wrong...

   Besides, Captain Li is too young.

  Sorry, I was suspicious, I shouldn't doubt you. "

   "No, you did the right thing." Luke didn't take it seriously, motioned the other party to sit down, and continued to ask, "The detective from the robbery and murder department you mentioned is called Jada Landis?"

   "Yes, he came to my house and said that he was investigating the robbery of oil paintings and asked about some details of the robbery."

   "Are there two of them?"

"Yes."

   "Describe their characteristics."

  "A man and a woman. The man claims to be Detective Jada Landis. He is a white man with a height of more than 1.8 meters. He wears a pair of glasses and has a mustache.

  The woman didn't say her name. She was a black man with a ponytail, about 1.7 meters, and a great figure. "

   "What time did they come? How long did they stay?"

   "Should have come around ten o'clock in the morning, stayed for less than half an hour, and left around ten thirty."

   "They claim to be detectives from the Robbery and Murder Division?"

"yes, I'm sure."

  Luke stood up and called Rhett's cell phone.

The Robbery and Murder Division has four squadrons. Although Luke knows most of them, he has no impression of these two "colleagues" described by Dolly White. Of course, they may have just been transferred to the Robbery and Murder Division. Luke calls Red to check.

  Rett is the boss of the Robbery and Murder Department, if there is a transfer of personnel at the inspector level, it is impossible for him not to know.

  Luke explained the situation of the two people, and Reid told him with certainty that there was no detective named Jada Landis in the entire robbery and murder department.

   Counterfeit goods.

  There are detectives in the Fake Heist and Murder Division investigating the Getty Museum painting heist.

  Whether it was for the investigation or for the robbery and murder department, it was impossible for Luke to ignore it.

  Luke hung up the phone and said, "I have confirmed that there is no detective named Jada Landis in the Robbery and Murder Division.

  You have been duped, the two of them are fake detectives. "

  Dolly White spread her hands, "Why are they doing this? What do they want from me?"

   "That depends on what they asked? Re-describing the questions they asked and the content of your conversation, you may be able to guess their purpose."

  Dolly White recalled for a moment, "They asked the names of the other two **** members, and also asked about the situation of the ten oil paintings, such as whose painting was it? Are they depicting people or scenery?"

  Dolly White shook his head, "We are shipping wrapped oil paintings, in order to avoid being bumped, at least five layers of protection are required, let alone paintings, even the frames are invisible.

  Afterwards, they asked me to describe the transportation route and how the painting was robbed. "

  Luke said, "You will re-describe the clues you told them."

   "OK." Dolly White was also worried that the two fake police detectives would harm him, so he cooperated and carefully described the process of the oil painting being stolen.

  Luke listened very carefully. Dolly White, as the person involved in the case, described in more detail than Inspector Dave Gary. Luke recorded many details of the robbed oil painting in his notebook.

  For example, the four robbers are all wearing the same human skin nun mask, and all four are wearing gloves, and the robber who gave the order is a man.

   When the robbers fled, they were driving a black Ford commercial vehicle. The license plate was blocked by black objects. The robbers' car turned along Fore Street and turned into Lanka Street on the right.

  Dolly White's description gave Luke a fuller understanding of the crime scene.

  At the same time, from Dolly White's description, it can also be felt that this gang of robbers was indeed professional, bold and careful, and left almost no valuable clues.

  After leaving Dolly White's house, Luke did not return to the police station, but rushed to the scene of the crime on Fall Street to check it out.

Luke rushed to Fall Street, the sky was completely dark, and the number of people on the street decreased significantly. Luke checked around the scene according to Dolly White's description, because the cordon had been removed, and wanted to find new ones near the crime scene. Clues are difficult, and even when found, they may be corrupted and difficult to use as evidence in a case.

  Luke turned into the street on the right along Fall Street. According to Dolly White's description, the robbers should have escaped from here in a Ford commercial vehicle.

  He glanced around and saw a camera installed above the street, and from the angle it was likely to capture the suspect vehicle.

  The next morning.

  The Office of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division.

Luke yawned and walked out of the captain's office with a cup of coffee in his hand. He was busy checking the scene of the robbery of the oil painting last night. It was already ten o'clock in the evening when he got home. busy.

  Luke went to the whiteboard and wrote down the name of Dolly White, and listed a tree map below him, which also included suspicious personnel under the pseudonym Detective Jada Landis.

  The members of a squadron came over tacitly, looking at the tree diagram on the whiteboard.

  The deputy team asked, "This is the unlucky guy who escorted the oil painting."

  Porter laughed, "The unlucky guy you mentioned is a standard strong man. He once served in the army and his biceps are bigger than mine."

   "It is suitable for men with **** and no brains. If you are really in danger, you have to rely on this." The deputy team pointed to the head.

  Luke interrupted the conversation between the two, and described the oil painting robbery in detail, and also mentioned two suspicious persons pretending to be police detectives.

  Jenny asked, "Who are those two people who pretended to be a robber and murdered the police detective? Could it be the suspect who robbed the oil painting?"

   Luke said, "From the conversation between the two fake police detectives and Dolly White, these two people should not be the suspects who robbed the oil painting, and the content of their questioning is consistent with the police's thinking in handling the case.

  I feel like they are running for a stolen painting.

  It's a pity that apart from the looks of the two fake police detectives, Dolly White couldn't provide any more valuable clues, and he didn't see the car the other party was driving. "

  The deputy team said, "We must find these two bastards, and we cannot let them do bad things in the name of the robbery and murder department, otherwise, we will have to blame us in the end."

  Porter deeply agrees with these words, and today he and Luke went to Dolly White's house, and almost had an oolong.

The arrival of the two patrolmen today seems to be just a routine inspection, but it is more like a near miss, because both sides have guns, and it is easy to misfire under high tension. Fortunately, both sides are more restrained, and Luke did not embarrass the two. Patrolman.

  Luke walked to the projector and played a video, "This is the surveillance video we found around the oil painting robbery scene."

  The voice fell, and a black Ford commercial vehicle appeared in the video. The license plate of the car was covered by a black object, and the license plate could not be seen clearly. It was consistent with the description of the **** Dolly White.

Luke plays this video in a loop and at the same time zooms in on the front windshield of the car. Because of the street lights, you can vaguely see the situation in the cab. There are two people sitting in the cab and the passenger cab, both wearing black Old woman in nun's robe.

Luke pressed the pause button, "This should be the suspect vehicle. The suspects were all wearing black nun robes and human skin masks of nun old ladies. The four of them were dressed in uniform. Because the nun robes are loose, even if the escorts had contact with them, There are no physical features."

  The deputy team said, "Where there is contact, there must be traces.

   This group of guys have unified actions, detailed plans, well-organized, and rich experience. They must have a criminal record.

  I think we should investigate the old cases and criminal records, maybe we can find clues to the robbers. "

  Luke nodded, "Good idea, deputy team, I'll leave it to you."

  The deputy team made an OK gesture.

  Porter said, "Now that we have found the suspect vehicle, I think we should continue to track this car and maybe find their stronghold."

   Luke said, "It's a way, Potter, you are responsible for tracking the whereabouts of the suspect vehicle.

   If you encounter technical problems, you can ask Matthew for help. "

   "Yessir, leave it to me." Potter was full of energy.

   This is the first time he has handled a case independently since he came to the Robbery and Murder Division.

   "Crackling..."

  The door of the office opened, Xiao Hei pushed the door and walked in, and said with a smile, "Hey, guys, are you gathering so neatly together, are you here to welcome me?"

  The deputy team curled his lips, "If I am late, I will definitely admit my mistake with a humble attitude, instead of a hippie smile and a grinning look."

   As for the deputy team, Xiao Hei has long been immune.

  He said indifferently, "Are you guys in a meeting? It seems that I'm not too late.

   I just got word that the Grays' lost Porsche Cayenne has been found. "Speaking, Xiao Hei looked at the deputy team again and sighed,

   "That's why I came late, not getting up late, nor being late on purpose, but to investigate the case.

  You don't have to feel guilty.

   No need to apologize.

   I'm used to being misunderstood. Xiao Hei sighed, and in a few words, he portrayed himself as a behind-the-scenes hero who endured humiliation.

   Vice team "..."

  Four words appeared in my mind, the villain is successful.

  Suburbs of Los Angeles.

  Porto garage.

  A black explorer drives into the garage.

  Luke stepped down from the passenger cab and looked at the environment of the car dealership. There are all kinds of second-hand cars in the large yard, ranging from low-end, mid-range, and high-end cars from east to west.

  Xiao Hei also got out of the car, walked up to Luke, and touched Luke with his arm, "Hey, it's been a long time since our golden partners performed missions alone."

   "Yes, I really miss it." Luke thought of David while speaking, and it would be a thrill to perform missions with him.

  A plump black female receptionist came over, "Gentlemen, what can I do for you?"

  Xiao Hei stared at the chest of the black female receptionist, "Wow, how old are you?"

  The black female receptionist rolled her eyes and pointed to the car behind her, "Sir, my models don't suit you, you'd better take a look at them."

  Xiao Hei shrugged and pointed to Luke beside him, "Call your boss out, I brought a big client."

  The black female receptionist looked at Luke, turned and went to the store.

   Not long after, a more plump black woman walked in. She was only 1.6 meters tall, and her waist and legs were thicker than Luke's. It seemed that the weight of the two would not differ much.

  The plump black woman smiled and said, "Gentlemen, do you like my style?"

   Seeing this figure, Xiao Hei was also a little bit discouraged, and pointed to Luke beside him, "I'm here to accompany him to buy a car."

  The black woman smiled and looked at Luke, "Just kidding.

  My name is Lilith, and I am the owner of this car dealership.

  Sir, what type of car do you want? What is your budget? "

  Luke looked around at the cars and said, "I want to buy a used SUV, the kind that looks good when it comes to picking up girls.

money is not a problem. "

  The proprietress curled her lips. She has seen too many similar customers. Before buying, she said that money is not a problem, but when it comes to later problems arise, the money is still not enough. "Do you have a favorite brand?"

   "I prefer Porsche, for example, Cayenne is good."

   "What color do you like?"

"Navy blue."

  The black proprietress looked at Luke, then at Xiao Hei, with a smile on her fat face, "Sorry, we don't have similar cars here.

   Why don't you leave a contact information, and I will contact you when I find a similar car. "

   "I didn't hear what you said just now." Xiao Hei picked out his ears and took out the police badge from his pocket, "I'll give you another chance and say it again."
