Los Angeles Detective

Since ancient times, people's hearts are the most unpredictable.

Luke understood this sentence very early on, and roughly guessed Jin Xiuhui's motive for committing the crime.

Jin Xiuhui was in better condition than her cousin Li Shan when she was young, and she has been helping her cousin.

There is a certain relationship between the two.

But the world is full of changes, and so are the relationships between people.

With the help of Kim Soo-hye, Lee Sun-mi gained a firm foothold in Los Angeles, found a good husband, and her life became better and better and richer.

On the contrary, Jin Xiuhui's life is still stagnating, and she even divorced her husband.

Before the interrogation of Kim Soo-hye, Luke also did some research on her situation.

Jin Xiuhui's financial situation is actually not bad. Although she and her ex-husband divorced, they can get alimony every month. Even if she doesn't go out to work, she can still guarantee her basic life.

People are afraid of comparison.

Seeing that my life is muddled, my cousin's life is getting more and more prosperous, and she even became the owner of a supermarket. The identities and circumstances of the two also changed unconsciously.

In the past, she was not as good as her cousin in all aspects, but now she is worse than herself in everything, and Jin Xiuhui inevitably had a gap in her heart.

It’s fine if the two don’t meet each other, but both of them live in the Korean community and meet a lot, and this sense of gap comes to mind every day.

Over time, it is prone to psychological problems.

To sum it up in one sentence, it's not that Jin Xiuhui doesn't want her cousin to be better, but she just doesn't want her to live a better life than herself.

The poisoning cases that are really difficult to solve are random poisoning cases. There is no grievance, no benefit, and the poisoner does not know who will be poisoned to death.

This kind of case is the most difficult to find clues.

The red wine poisoning case is not a random poisoning case, and it is reasonable to say that it is not difficult to solve it.

Because such purposeful poisoning cases are often accompanied by interests and grievances.

For example, ask who the victim has conflicts with, or who has a conflict of interest, and those who can benefit have the motive of committing the crime, and they may be poisoning suspects.

To sum it up, benefit yourself at the expense of others.

The difficulty of this case is that Jin Xiuhui and her cousin have no conflicts or conflicts of interest.

To put it bluntly, she did not have a clear motive and could not gain practical benefits from this poisoning case.

Even if Luke told Li Sunmi that Kim Soo Hye poisoned the Jiangnan supermarket, the other party might not believe it.

Jin Xiuhui belongs to the category of harming others and benefiting oneself.

It doesn't matter if I don't get benefits, as long as you have losses and you are unhappy, I will be happy.

This kind of mentality is terrible and unacceptable.

But it's not uncommon either.

It's just that many people exist in the thinking stage.

The person who is really suffering at this stage is you, and the other party doesn't know it.

And Kim Soo Hye did.

The result is painful for both.

Once the motive of the other party's crime is clarified, the whole case will become clear.

Luke continued the interrogation, "Describe what happened to you in detail."

Jin Xiuhui wiped her nose with a tissue, "You guessed it just now."

"You need to tell it yourself."

"Huh..." Jin Xiuhui sighed, "I really don't want to remember it anymore."

"You have to do this." The red wine poisoning case was just a foretaste, and the really important thing was the Weisen brand mineral water poisoning case.

The two poisoning cases both happened in Shanyuan Supermarket, and the time was close, and the methods were similar. Based on Luke's experience, it can't be a coincidence, and there must be some kind of connection.

It may even be the same poisoner.

Therefore, the tough battle has just begun.

"Can I have a cup of coffee?"

Luke nodded.

Xiao Hei poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Jin Xiuhui.

"Thank you." Jin Xiuhui picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then said slowly, "I bought red wine at Wiggins supermarket in advance, and put the laxative in the red wine.

During that time, I was conflicted and hesitated whether to do it or not.

I also know that there are certain risks, and I thought about giving up.

One day I was notified that there would be a power outage around the supermarket on August 3rd. I knew that the cameras in Jiangnan Supermarket would also be out of power. This was an opportunity.

That bad thought got the upper hand again. "Jin Xiuhui showed remorse, and wiped her tears again,

"After eleven o'clock that night, I packed three bottles of poisoned red wine into a backpack and took them to Jiangnan Supermarket... and then I left.

I thought no one would know and no one would see.

But an accident happened the next day, and the Jiangnan Supermarket was stolen. I was also stunned at the time, and I didn't expect things to turn out like this.

I also regretted it at the time... If I knew this was the result, why would I take the risk of poisoning.

I was also worried that I would be seen by others, but after more than ten days there was no movement, so I was relieved.

Until you find Jiangnan Supermarket...

I'm really stupid, why do this kind of thing, not only is it not good for me, but also worrying about it all day long.

I regret to death, woo woo..."

With this confession, the red wine poisoning case is almost certain.

Luke listened carefully, recorded the main points in a notebook, and continued to ask,

"Tell me about the second poisoning case?"

Jin Xiuhui asked, "What's the second poisoning case?"

"Two cases of poisoning occurred in Shanyuan Supermarket, the first case was the poisoning case of Kafila brand red wine, and the second case was the poisoning case of Weisen brand mineral water.

Describe the reason and process of your second crime. "

"No, I did not poison the Shanyuan Supermarket, not even once. I have nothing to do with the Weisen mineral water poisoning case." Jin Xiuhui denied.

Luke stared at the other person's expression, "The two cases happened at the same place, at a similar time, and with similar modus operandi. You say that it has nothing to do with you. Do you think the jury will believe it?"

"I really haven't done it.

I have read the news, but it really has nothing to do with me. I have admitted to the poisoning case of kafella brand red wine. You can no longer pour dirty water on me. I really have nothing to do with the poisoning case of mineral water. "

"Have you ever bought Weisen brand mineral water?"

"No."

"Did you go to the subway station to put poisonous mineral water?"

"Really do not have."

"Do you know who poisoned the Weisen mineral water?"

"have no idea."

Luke asked several questions one after another, and saw no sign of lying in the other party's expression.

Could it be that the other party has nothing to do with the Weisen brand mineral water poisoning case?

Could it be that my speculation was wrong? The two poisoning cases just happened to happen at the same place, at a similar time, and with similar techniques.

Coincidence is not impossible, but the probability of this is really low.

There are many coincidences, but the deep connections and laws cannot be seen.

Luke calmed down and thought, assuming his conjecture was correct, the two poisoning cases were indeed related, and assuming Kim Soo-hye hadn't lied, she had nothing to do with the mineral water poisoning case.

Where is the connection between these two cases?

Shanyuan Supermarket.

Luke suddenly thought of something, and asked abruptly, "You said before that you put three bottles of poisoned red wine in Jiangnan Supermarket?"

"Yes."

"Are there any fingerprints left?"

"No, I do it all with gloves on."

This is a problem. According to Rocky, he stole two boxes of kafera red wine from Jiangnan Supermarket. Osmond, the owner of Shanyuan Supermarket, also bought two boxes of kafira red wine. One box contained six bottles. Twelve bottles.

Among them, Shanyuan Supermarket sold six bottles of red wine, and there were still six bottles of red wine left in the warehouse. Luke had someone identify them, and the remaining six bottles of red wine were not poisoned, nor did they show signs of damage to the package.

If Jin Xiuhui did not lie, Shanyuan Supermarket should have sold three bottles of poisoned red wine, but only two customers came to the door.

Why didn't the other guy who bought the wine come?

Luke guessed that there are two possibilities with a high probability. The first one drank it and his stomach felt uncomfortable, but he didn't expect it to be the problem of red wine, thinking it was the food that was not clean.

The second possibility is that the red wine has not been drunk yet.

This is possible under normal circumstances, and there is also an abnormal possibility.

The third victim of red wine poisoning did not seek compensation from Shanyuan Supermarket for some special reason.

Luke continued to speculate wildly.

This victim is related to the red wine poisoning case and is also a customer of Shanyuan Supermarket. In addition, he can also deduce the method and method of poisoning through the poisoned bottle of red wine.

The time, place, and method are all right.

He qualifies as a poisoner.

Afterwards, Luke began to check the surveillance of Shanyuan Supermarket, looking for other customers who bought Cafira brand red wine.

After some investigations, a total of four people bought Cafira brand red wine,

Among them, two poisoned customers were temporarily excluded, and there were two other customers.

One of them was a black man in his thirties. Besides red wine, he also bought a lot of daily necessities.

The other was a Korean woman in her twenties who only bought a bottle of red wine.

Luke zoomed in on the facial images of the two customers, whom he had not met and who were not involved.

Luke and the team members carefully checked the video of Shanyuan Supermarket, and found nothing unusual about the two.

Did I guess wrong?

...

after get off work.

Luke was invited to dinner at Xiao Hei's house.

Originally thought that if Jin Xiuhui was caught, the poisoning case would be solved, but there were twists and turns again.

However, the appointment was already made last night, and Xiao Hei also told Julian in advance, and it was hard to change it.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Luke and Xiao Hei arrived at Xiao Hei's house.

Luke looked at the light in the window, "Marcus, how are you feeling now?"

"Uh...how should I say it?

not bad.

It used to be deserted when I went home, but now there is a kind of warmth of home, a bit like the feeling of living with my mother before.

Although there is less freedom, it is very warm.

I kinda enjoy it. "

"Very good." As a partner, Luke is one of the people who knows Xiao Hei best, and he can see his efforts and changes.

Xiao Hei opened the door and yelled, "Hey baby, we're back."

Julian came out of the kitchen, wearing a red apron, kissed Xiao Hei on the cheek, looked at Luke and said hello, "Deputy Luke, I'm glad you can come.

It's not the first time we've met, and we've often heard Marcus mention you, but it's the first time we've met as friends. "

"That's right, although we don't meet many times, I often hear Marcus mentioning you, and I feel like I'm already a very familiar friend. Just call me Luke."

Xiao Hei patted Luke on the shoulder and said to Julian, "You don't have to be so polite, Luke is my partner, just be casual."

Luke handed over a bottle of red wine, "Julian, this is for you."

"Thank you." Julian took a look at the red wine, "vsite, this brand of red wine is good, I like it very much."

Xiao Hei gestured yes, and whispered, "It's my credit."

"OK, sit down, dinner will be ready soon." After Julian finished speaking, he went back to work in the kitchen.

Luke sat on the sofa and glanced at Julian who was busy in the kitchen, "Marcus, you have a good position at home."

"Of course, Julian knows I work hard and always gives me a rest when I get home. She is a very considerate woman."

"Is she still at work?"

"No, I let her resign, I can afford her.

When two people live together, conflicts will inevitably arise.

If two people work and have a hard day outside, they will be physically and mentally exhausted, and it is easy to quarrel over some trivial matters after returning home. I don't want this. "Xiao Hei lowered her voice, "And she is pregnant now, and her mood is very unstable.

There are all kinds of people in the restaurant, and it is inevitable that you will encounter some troublesome customers.

It is easy to generate some negative energy.

Therefore, the best way is for her to resign. Although the income will be less, everyone will be more relaxed.

The atmosphere of life will also be different. "

"You're doing the right thing," Luke agreed.

"Gentlemen, dinner is ready, would you set the table for me?"

"Of course, I'm very happy." Xiao Hei jumped up from the sofa and ran into the kitchen in a panic.

Luke also went to the restaurant to help.

The tableware was set, the red wine was opened, the three of them sat at the dining table, and the dinner officially began.

Julian picked up the wine glass, "Luke, thank you very much... If it weren't for you, Marcus and I might not have the sweetness we have now.

Thank you very much. "

Luke waved his hand, "No, it's not that you should thank me, but Marcus should thank me.

If it weren't for me, Marcus wouldn't have such a good company. "

Xiao Hei also raised his wine glass, "Dude, you are right, I respect you too."

Luke also picked up the red wine in front of him, "Cheers!"

The three had a drink together.

Julian pointed to the dishes on the table, "I heard from Marcus that you like lamb, so I made lamb chops.

There is also salmon, mac and cheese, green salad, fried potato meatballs, mushroom soup. "

Luke smiled, "Thank you, very rich."

"I seldom cook before, and this is the first time I have formally invited friends over for dinner.

Please try it. said Julian, and used the public tongs to hold a lamb chop for Luke.

Luke was also polite, cut a piece and put it in his mouth, "Well, it tastes good."

"I'm glad you like it. To be honest, I'm not very confident in my cooking skills."

"I haven't eaten the others, but this fried lamb chop is really good."

Luke tasted the other dishes, which, to be honest, were average.

The fried salmon is old, the macaroni is a little greasy, the vegetable salad is also a little greasy, the potatoes are a little mushy, and the mushroom soup tastes like a semi-finished product.

That is to say, mutton is not bad, the main reason is that mutton is easier to cook, as long as the quality of mutton is good, no matter how you do it, it will not be too unpalatable.

While Julian was going to the kitchen to get something, Xiao Hei winked and said, "There are still a lot of dishes, you should eat more, you are welcome."

Luke also took the last piece of lamb chops, "I still like to eat lamb chops, and you can eat more of the others."

Xiao Hei had a mournful face, obviously, he didn't think Julian's cooking skills were that good either.

Cooking has to be practiced.

Luke decided that he would not come to Xiaohei's house for dinner in a short time, and wait for Julian's cooking skills to hone, and then come to eat.

...

next morning.

Police Department.

Robbery Murder Division.

At 9:5, Susan held a case summary meeting on time.

Susan straight to the point, "Matthew, tell me what you found."

Matthew flipped through the documents, "Uh...Yesterday, Luke's deputy team checked the surveillance of Shanyuan Supermarket and found two other customers who bought kafera wine.

Among them, the black customer in his thirties came by car, and we saw his license plate number on the surveillance outside the supermarket.

His identity information was found through the license plate number. "

Name, Moses Pojeka

Sex: Male

race, african

Height, 183cm

Weight, 155 lbs

License plate number, 7leb27*

Address, 1004 Camoy Avenue

Matthew put the information of the suspicious person and continued,

"This morning, I found out that Moses' IP has shopping records on a black market website called 'Evolution'.

I obtained the chat history through some technical means, and found that the item he purchased was cyanide.

Purchase time is August 14th. "

Jackson asked, "What is a black market website?"

Matthew explained, "Evolution is one of the black market sites that provide anonymous buying and selling of illegal or potentially dangerous items.

The site also accepts bitcoin payments, making it the perfect medium of exchange for users wishing to conceal their real identities. "

Xiao Hei said, "This guy bought poisoned red wine, went to the poisoning site, and bought cyanide online. I think he is very suspicious.

But then again, this guy is pretty handsome. "

Luke raised his eyebrows, "Dude, your focus is very novel, it's not like your usual self."

The deputy team laughed, "Haha... Is it premarital phobia?"

"No, I just said it casually." Xiao Hei hurriedly explained, "Don't think about it."

"Crack..."

Susan slapped her hands and interrupted everyone, "Since this guy has a record of buying cyanide, no matter whether he is a poisoner or not, we can't let him go.

I'm going to apply for a warrant, and you guys are ready to move. "

...

half an hour later.

1004 Camoy Ave.

Near Moses Boyeka's house.

This time, Luke was in charge of leading the team. Before the arrest, some arrangements were made. People were guarding the front and rear doors and around the house to prevent the suspect from escaping.

Afterwards, Luke and Xiao Hei knocked on the door.

"Dong dong..." Xiao Hei knocked on the door and took two steps back.

"Who's out there?"

"Dong dong..." Xiao Hei didn't answer, but continued to knock on the door.

"Crackling..."

A moment later, the door opened.

A handsome black man stood at the door, with his shoulders bare, wearing a pink apron, and a strong smell of perfume.

The black man shook his head, "Two handsome guys, who are you looking for?"

Xiao Hei asked, "Are you Moses Boyeka?"

"Yes, who are you? Why did you knock on my door early in the morning? I don't seem to have seen you."

Xiao Hei looked at the other party, "Why are you wearing a pink apron?"

"Is there a law in California that men can't wear pink aprons?" Moses blinked his eyes wide and turned around in a circle, "And, don't you think I match this color well?"

"Damn it, besides the apron, you only wear a pair of underwear, which is still lace, and it's the same style as my girlfriend!" Xiao Hei opened his mouth wide, showing an incredulous look.

Luke was glad he was wearing dark glasses, so wise.

"Hey, who are you guys? Why do you comment on others at will, if you are so rude again, I will let my boyfriend beat you up."

Xiao Hei pouted, "Sure enough, boyfriend."

Moses stretched out his finger and pointed at Xiao Hei, "What do you mean? What does it mean to be sure? Are you discriminating against me?"

Xiao Hei quickly denied, "No, I don't, I support homosexuality."

Moses looked at Luke again.

"Your freedom." Luke didn't bother to provoke such a person, he might be in a showy suit.

"Very well, now tell me who you are? What are you doing here?"

Xiao Hei flashed his police badge, "lapd, we are investigating a criminal case and would like to ask you a few questions."

Moses covered his face with his hands, and exaggeratedly shouted, "Damn it, you are actually the police!"

At this moment, a voice came from the house, "Hey, baby, why are you standing at the door all the time? I don't want you to be seen.

I'm the only one with your sexy ass, oh yeah. "

Xiao Hei "..."

Luke had an urge to swear.

A middle-aged Caucasian man came out in a nightgown, smelling heavily of alcohol when he spoke, "Who are you?"

Luke looked at the white man and immediately recognized his identity.

He is the manager of the poisoned stand-up actor Darcy - Markway Sarkozy.
