Los Angeles Detective

Santa Monica Beach has blue sea, blue sky and beautiful scenery, and many tourists gather on the beach.

Playing in the sea, surfing, sunbathing, beach volleyball, full of laughter.

Compared with the crime scene that has been cordoned off, it seems like two worlds.

The tragedy at the scene of the crime also attracted the attention of many tourists.

Unlike Mount Copol, Mount Copol is relatively remote and has fewer people, but Santa Monica Beach, a tourist attraction, has many tourists, and even many foreign tourists.

Soon, people from the TV station also came to interview.

People with long guns and short guns blocked the cordon, and a black female reporter even winked at Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei smiled back.

Luke shook his head, his words were in vain.

Susan will call together, "Guys, does the scene feel familiar?"

The deputy team waved his hand, "A naked man was shot dead in the back seat of a car, and a woman's handprints were found on the face of the front car. The method of committing the crime is the same as the previous case, and it should be the same murderer.

According to the pattern of the previous two cases, there should be another female victim. "

Susan nodded, "You are right, the reporter is the female victim, and she has been sent to the hospital for treatment."

Xiao Hei asked, "Is she forced to play poker?"

"It's not clear yet." Susan took out a document and said, "The forensic doctor has completed a preliminary autopsy, and the time of death of the deceased was between 9:00 and 12:00 last night.

The back row of the car was the scene of the first crime. The deceased was shot three times, two in the chest and one in the head, of which the head was fatal.

The situation is basically the same as the previous case. "

The deputy team glanced around, "The suspect is very good at finding places, and there are very few people around here after nine o'clock in the evening, so it is a good place to commit crimes.

If the victim in this case has no direct contact with the previous two victims.

I guess the suspect is likely to be a serial murderer, and the target group is the target of the car shock.

Once he started changing locations, it was much harder to catch him. "

"Then let's act quickly." Susan scanned the crowd and began to arrange tasks, "Deputy team, you and Jackson will go around and see if there are any witnesses.

When I came here, there seemed to be some tents on the other side of the road.

Raymond, Jenny, search the surrounding road surveillance to see if there are any suspicious vehicles and people.

Luke, Marcus, go to the hospital and meet the female victim. "

"Yes, captain."

Everyone split up.

...

Yatro Hospital.

Room 205.

A girl was lying on the hospital bed, sideways, her body undulating slightly, as if she was crying.

Sitting next to the bed was a middle-aged white woman who seemed to be comforting in a low voice.

A white man paced up and down beside the hospital bed, his face livid, as if someone owed him hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The white woman raised her head and said with a little dissatisfaction, "Can you stop turning around, I'm so dizzy from the shaking."

The white man stopped in his tracks, his face became more and more ugly, he looked at the mother and daughter angrily, and could only swallow.

"Dong dong..." There was a knock on the door outside.

The white man walked over, opened the door of the ward, and saw two men standing outside, showing a vigilant look. He doesn't want any man to approach his daughter now, "Who are you?"

It was Luke and Xiao Hei who came.

Xiao Hei showed his police badge, "lapd, I'm Detective Marcus, and this is Deputy Luke. We are responsible for the investigation of the robbery and homicide on Santa Monica Beach. We want to meet the victim."

The man looked at the two of them, "My daughter has already reported to the police and made it clear to the police. She is not in a good condition now and doesn't want to see strangers."

Luke said, "Sir, I can understand your feelings, and we don't want to disturb your daughter's rest.

But your daughter's transcript is important to us as the victim and the only known witness to this case.

I believe that you also hope that the police can catch the murderer sooner. "

A girl's voice came from the room, choked up, "Let them in."

The white man opened the door and stepped aside.

Luke entered the ward, glanced around, and his eyes fell on the girl on the hospital bed, who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old and still in high school.

"You are the informant Margaery West?"

The white girl sat up, "It's me."

Luke asked concerned, "Are you feeling better?"

The girl nodded.

After Luke arrived at the hospital, he asked the doctor who examined her. There were only a few scrapes on Margery's body and lacerations underneath, but the condition was not serious.

"I'm in charge of investigating the case of Jill Bruce's murder. In order to understand the situation of the case as soon as possible, we need to make a record for you."

Margaery nodded again.

"Were you there when Jill Bruce was killed?"

Margaery nodded slightly.

"If your physical condition allows, I hope you can answer directly."

"Can."

"What is your relationship with the deceased Jill Bruce?"

"He's my boyfriend."

"Describe the itinerary and the incident of the two of you yesterday."

"Last night we made an appointment to watch a movie together, around 7pm, he drove to pick me up outside the community, and then we went to a nearby theater to watch a movie.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening after watching the movie. He asked me to go to the beach to watch the sea, and I agreed.

When we arrived at the beach at about 9:20, we sat in the car and chatted for a while.

Then I heard someone knocking on the car window, I turned my head and saw someone pointing a gun at us..."

Margaery sobbed softly, shook her head and said, "It's terrible."

Luke pressed, "What were you doing in the car? Didn't you see or hear the suspect in advance?"

"We are chatting, and we are more engaged in the conversation."

"conversation?"

"Yes."

Luke said, "When we saw the deceased, he was only wearing socks. Did the suspect undress him?"

"no."

"Then why isn't he wearing clothes?

We need to confirm the details of some cases. Every detail may become the key to solving the case. I hope you will not hide it. "

Margaery lowered her head and said, "He took off the clothes himself, we...we were in a car shock at the time."

"Can you describe the characteristics of the suspect?"

"He was wearing a black mask and a black T-shirt. I only saw him once, and he told us to close our eyes and threatened to shoot us if we dared to open them. I don't know either. how does he look like."

"What about the sound?"

"A little hoarse, not like a human voice."

"What pistol did he use?"

"A black pistol. I don't know what kind of pistol it is."

"Is it a revolver?"

"no."

"you sure?"

"Sure."

Luke wrote it down in his notebook, which was different from the previous cases.

"What did the suspect do afterward?"

"He threw us plastic handcuffs and told me to bind Jill's hands and feet and Jill to bind my hands.

Then……

He told me to get out of the car, go to the front of the car, lie on the car...

I was strengthened.

At that time, Jill was sitting in the car watching, I even bought Karma, I can't imagine that scene.

He is simply a pervert, he is a murderer, he deserves to die! "

Judging from the current confession, the process of committing the crime is basically the same, "How did Jill die?"

"He was shot." Margery cried. "After we finished playing poker, he asked me to sit back in the car, and then he suddenly shot and killed Jill. I was sitting in the car. I was scared. died.

I thought...he would kill me together.

But he didn't. He said he wanted to smoke a cigarette and asked me to wait in the car and not come out. If I dared to come out, he would kill me too. "

Margery wiped her eyes with a tissue, with a strong look on her face, "I didn't dare to get out of the car, and I didn't dare to open my eyes, so I just sat in the car and cried softly. I was extremely helpless at the time.

I could hear voices, he seemed to be looking for something, after that, he closed the car door and went out.

I waited and waited and I thought he would strengthen me again.

But I waited for an hour, but I didn't wait for him.

After that, I bravely opened my eyes, but I couldn't see him outside the car, so I got out of the car and ran away.

I don't have a cell phone, so I just keep running.

After running for a long time, I stopped a car and called the police.

Please catch the murderer! "

Luke pondered for a moment, "What time did the suspect commit the crime?"

"He should have appeared around ten o'clock. I don't know when he left. I couldn't see the time at that time."

"Can you recall any other characteristics of the suspect?"

"No, I was terrified and thought I was going to die, I didn't think about it that much."

Luke took out photos of the people involved in the first two cases and asked Margaery to identify them, but they didn't know each other.

"How long have you been dating Jill Bruce."

"About a month."

"How is the relationship between the two of you?"

"It's stable, he's been great to me and I like him a lot. He's a good guy, a good guy, really great.

I miss him so much and wish he was still by my side. "

"Before the incident, did you notice any abnormal or suspicious people?"

"Uh... I don't know if it counts, but Jill said we might be being followed."

"Who was followed, why didn't you call the police?"

"William Cam. He is from the same school as us. He has pursued me before, but I rejected him.

I chose Jill.

William was very dissatisfied and even asked Jill for trouble, but Jill taught him a lesson instead.

After that, William came to me, said some bad things about Jill, and told me not to be with Jill.

Jill is very generous and doesn't take him seriously at all. "

Luke concluded, "That is to say, William is Jill's rival in love."

"The same can be said."

"Did you see William yesterday?"

"Uh, yes, I saw his car too, and he did follow us for a while, but Jill quickly swung him away, and we didn't take it seriously.

Moreover, Jill seemed even more excited.

He felt that being with me was the best lesson for William.

While I don't want to speak ill of William, I'm sure he'd be furious to see me with Jill. "

"Are you familiar with William?"

"Okay."

"Do you think William will be the murderer?"

"I don't know, I was so frightened that I didn't even dare to look at the murderer, even if the murderer was standing in front of me, it was difficult for me to recognize him.

I am so useless. ’ Margaery cried again.

Her mother comforted her in a low voice, while her father's eyes were red and his fists were tightly clenched.

Luke asked, "Do you know where William's house is?"

...

Westin Pizza.

A Ford Explorer pulls up to the pizzeria.

Xiao Hei got out of the car and rubbed his belly, "I'm starving to death, I must have a big meal."

Luke asked, "Are you sure you want the pizza?"

Xiao Hei took it for granted, "Believe me, when you are hungry, pizza is definitely the most delicious, bar none."

"OK, as long as you like it."

The two entered the pizza shop.

At this time, there were not many people in the store, so the two found a seat by the window.

A young male waiter came over and put the menu on the table of two people, "What do you want to eat?"

Luke pushed the menu to Xiao Hei, "Look first."

Xiao Hei picked up the menu, glanced at it, swallowed, "I want this Supreme Pizza, my favorite. I'll also have a Black Pepper Beef Pizza, as well as Coke and French fries."

Then, the menu was given to Luke.

Luke pointed to the food on the menu, "Grilled pork ribs, snack platter, seasonal vegetable salad, let's order these first."

Xiao Hei rubbed his hands, "Bring me the Coke first, I'm about to starve to death."

"Hum." Xiao Hei's cell phone rang, and Xiao Hei picked it up to look at it, with a smile on his face, and replied a message.

Luke guessed, "Pari Jones?"

"Wow, you can guess this?"

Luke pressed, "What did she ask you for?"

"She asked me to have dinner with me at night." Xiao Hei smiled, and seemed to see Luke's thoughts, "Don't worry, I will never disclose the progress of the investigation of the case, I swear."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Don't you think the relationship between the two of us is very exciting?"

"Investigating cases every day isn't exciting enough?"

"That's different. I'm single now, dating and communicating with the opposite sex is a normal state."

Soon, the waiter brought the dishes, and Luke was too hungry, too lazy to persuade Xiao Hei, he picked up the pizza and ate it.

What Xiao Hei said is true, when you are hungry, eating carbohydrates is definitely the happiest.

No big fish, big meat, lobster or abalone can compare.

Soon, the two swept away the food on the table and ate it.

Luke called the young waiter to check out, "How much?"

"Thirty-five dollars, sir."

Luke directly gave him two twenty-dollar cash, "The rest is your tip."

"Thank you, what a generous gentleman you are."

Luke smiled, "Dude, I look familiar to you, what's your name?"

"William."

"William Cam?"

"Yes, I don't seem to have met you, how did you know me?"

"You don't know me. But we have mutual friends."

"Which one?"

"Margaery West, do you know her?"

"Of course, my goddess, I have always liked her, but unfortunately, she has now become someone else's girlfriend."

Xiao Hei said, "Dude, if you like her, you must chase after her bravely, and don't give up. As long as she is not married, you have hope."

"Thank you for your encouragement, I will." William patted his chest and asked, "What's your relationship with Margaery?"

Xiao Hei flashed his police badge, "lapd, I'm Detective Marcus, this is Deputy Team Luke, we're investigating a robbery and murder case, and Margery is one of the victims."

"What?" William thought he had misheard, showing concern, "Robbery and murder? What happened to Margaery?

I bought Karma, she won't... die. "

"No, Margaery is not dead, but Jill is."

William frowned and asked, "Where is Margaery now? How is she doing?"

How did Jill die? "

"I haven't asked you yet, you're asking me instead. Answer my question first, and then I'll tell you about Margaery." After finishing speaking, Luke stared at William and asked, "Did you do anything yesterday?" Met Jill and Margaery?"

"Why do you ask that? You don't suspect me, do you?"

"No, it's just a routine inquiry." Luke said perfunctorily, "How old are you, do you need your parents to be present?"

"No need, I can do it myself."

"Good, answer my previous question."

William thought for a while, "I didn't see Margaery yesterday."

Luke had been watching him and saw that he was flustered and obviously lying.

"Where were you between nine o'clock and eleven o'clock last night?"

"I'm at home."

lie.

"Did you stalk Jill and Margery last night?"

William saw sweat on his forehead, wringing his hands together, "No."

lie.

Luke pressed, "You said you were at home between nine o'clock and eleven o'clock last night, who can prove it?"

"Uh..." William hesitated.

"After thinking about it, we will verify it."

"No, I'm the only one at home."

"Do you usually live alone?"

"No, my parents divorced, I lived with my father, and he didn't come home at that time."

Luke said earnestly, "William, do you like Margaery very much?"

"Yes."

"So, you killed Jill."

"No, I don't."

"You can't lie to me, you have been lying. If you have a clear conscience, there is no need to lie. Since you have lied, it means that you are probably the murderer."

William glanced around, sat opposite Luke, and whispered, "Hey, you can't slander me, or I'll sue you."

"You can't lie to the police either, otherwise, the consequences will be more serious."

William's face was a little ugly, and he seemed to want to say something, but he didn't speak after all.

"OK, if you don't say it, I'll say it." Luke organized his words, "You like Margaery, but Margaery doesn't like you.

At first, she didn't explicitly refuse, but later, she met Jill, and the two were together.

You feel lost, that Jill took Margery away, that you hold a grudge against him, that you even went after him to get Margery away.

Later, Margaery found out about this, made a big fuss with you, and explicitly rejected you.

You are angry and want revenge.

So, you stalked the two of them last night and brutally murdered Jill.

Even so, you still feel unsatisfied and strengthen Margaery.

One is out of revenge and possessive psychology, and the other is that this will also become a stain on Margaery.

But you don't care, you can even pretend to be a warm man to take care of Margaery and win her heart in the end.

It can be said that it has achieved multiple goals in one fell swoop, very clever..."

William interrupted Luke, shouting, "No, this is your slander, I have never done these things, I will not kill people, let alone hurt Margaery.

I am not what you say. "

Luke demanded, "Then why did you lie? If you didn't kill someone, why would you lie to the police?

I've seen more suspects than you have clients, do you think you can fool me? "

William sighed and scratched his hair vigorously, "Sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you, I just don't want to be suspected by you."

Luke said seriously, "We have already learned enough clues before we came.

If you lie and your confession does not match up with the clues we know, we will doubt you even more.

As long as you tell the truth, we will naturally find out, and we will never wrong a good person. "

William was silent for a moment, then pursed his lips, "You guessed it right, I did meet Jill and Margaery yesterday.

Also, I followed them, I lied.

I didn't lie on purpose, I was just afraid that you would doubt me.

Although I stalked them, it never occurred to me to hurt them. "

"Then what are you following them for?"

"I was protecting Margaery, and worried that she would be hurt by Jill."

"But according to Margery, Jill is her boyfriend, and the relationship between the two is very good. Why do you think Jill will hurt Margery?"

William snorted, "She doesn't know Jill at all.

Jill's family is rich and handsome, and many girls like him.

But this guy is not a good guy, he is a playboy, I asked about him, and I heard that he has had girlfriends since elementary school.

He even got bigger than a female classmate's belly, this guy is definitely not a good bird.

I was worried that he would hurt Margery and make Margery's belly bigger, and Margery's life would be ruined in that case.

This guy can definitely do it. "

"That's no reason for you to follow them both."

"I know what I'm doing is wrong, but I'm just worried about Margaery."

"Since you followed them, did you see the scene where Jill was killed?"

"No, my car broke down on the way. So, I got lost on the way, and I don't know where they went.

If I'd been following them, maybe... this wouldn't have happened. "

"The car broke down? What a coincidence?" Luke couldn't believe it.

William pointed outside, "My car is just outside, I don't believe you can go and see it."

Luke looked in the direction he pointed. It was a gray Kia. It was very old, and he didn't know how old it was.

The three of them left the pizza restaurant and walked to the gray Kia car. Luke ordered, "Open the car."

William reluctantly unlocked the car.

"What's wrong with your car?"

"The traffic light won't turn on the fire."

"Where is it broken?"

"At the intersection of Kangjia Road and Lion West Street."

Luke said to Xiao Hei, "Check the driving recorder."

"OK." Xiao Hei got into the car, took out the memory card of the driving recorder and inserted it into the computer, and began to check the driving recorder.

William said, "Deputy Luke, what I said is true. This car is nearly twenty years old, and it often breaks down. The chain drops at critical moments."

Luke seemed to think of something, "You said Jill made a woman's belly bigger, do you know that woman's name?"

"have no idea.

I also heard from my classmates that there are always all kinds of gossip in the school. I can't guarantee that it must be true. You need to judge for yourself. "

"Now that you know about Margaery's injury, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to visit her and try to help her to the best of my ability."

Xiao Hei, who was sitting in the Kia car, waved, "Luke, I checked yesterday's driving record, and this kid didn't lie. His car did break down last night."

Luke asked Xiao Hei to take out the computer, and he put the computer on his face in front of the car to check.

It can be clearly seen from the driving recorder that the car did follow the deceased's car, but after a certain distance, the car broke down, and there was still a considerable distance from the crime scene.

Luke checked the video repeatedly, trying to make sure that William was at the scene of the car repair, rather than using blindfolding.

He checked the video carefully and found that William did not lie, he was indeed repairing the car at the scene, and did not leave secretly.

He has an alibi.

Just when Luke was about to turn off the computer, he suddenly found another clue. A black Tesla sedan appeared in the dash cam, not far behind the Cadillac...

The car caught Luke's attention immediately.
