Los Angeles Detective

Jelson Pharmaceuticals.

Xiao Hei got out of the car, looked at the tall and magnificent office building, and said with emotion, "Wow, I didn't expect the building of a pharmaceutical company to be so well built."

Luke said, "The drug industry is a profiteering industry. The production cost of drugs is often relatively low, but their market prices are very high. A drug that costs only a few dollars can be sold for tens of dollars or even hundreds of dollars. .

Do you think they will be short of money? "

The two walked into the hall, and a young Caucasian woman in a professional dress sat at the front desk, with delicate makeup, staring at the computer in front of her.

Xiao Hei knocked on the table, "Hey, beauty, is the president of your company here?"

The white woman raised her head and looked at Luke and Xiao Hei, "What's the matter with you?"

"We want to meet the president of your company."

"Sir, do you have an appointment?"

"No, but we have this." Xiao Hei showed his police badge.

The white woman smiled, "Sorry, I can't help you.

If you want to see our president, you must make an appointment in advance. "

"Can I make an appointment now?"

"Sorry, I'm the reception desk here, and I'm not in charge of making appointments."

Xiao Hei looked at the empty lobby on the first floor, "Then who should we make an appointment with?"

The white woman didn't answer, and continued to look down at the computer.

Xiao Hei looked at Luke at the side, "She doesn't care about us."

Luke said, "Jelson Pharmaceuticals is a big taxpayer, so of course it doesn't need to ignore us."

Xiao Hei spread his hands, "Then what should we do?"

Luke said, "I don't know, maybe when the strange death of their company's drug tester hits the news.

It would be more appropriate for us to come with a search warrant. "

"Such explosive news will definitely make headlines in Los Angeles, no, all over the United States."

Luke said, "You underestimate the influence of Jelson Pharmaceuticals. Its drugs are sold all over the world, and it is likely to become a global news headline."

"Congratulations to your company in advance. I believe your boss will definitely give you a promotion and salary, and congratulations to you in advance." Xiao Hei smiled and said to the white woman at the front desk, ready to leave.

The white woman couldn't sit still, "Wait, what did you mean just now?"

Luke said, "The drug tester of your company died."

The white woman asked, "I haven't heard similar news, can you tell me more about the situation?"

Luke asked back, "Are you the president of the company?"

The white woman said helplessly, "Wait a minute, I will contact you."

The white woman picked up the landline next to her and made a call. After saying a few words, she asked Luke, "What do you call me?"

"Captain, Robbery and Murder, Luke Lee."

Ten minutes later, a middle-aged white man in a suit with a sparse head came over, shook hands with Luke and said with a smile, "I'm Royce Woodman, the vice president of Jelson Corporation.

Captain Li, it's an honor to meet you, but also very scared to meet you. "

"Sorry, Vice President Royce Woodman, we came a little suddenly."

"You two, please come with me, let's talk in a quiet place." Royce Woodman made a gesture of invitation, and led the two to the reception room on the third floor. The female assistant served coffee for the three and closed the door left.

Royce Woodman took the initiative to ask, "Captain Li, I heard from the receptionist at the front desk that you suspect that our company's drug tester was killed?"

Luke tentatively asked, "Is there a similar situation?"

"Not as far as I know."

Luke took out the information of the deceased Rochel Horn, "This is the information of the drug tester."

Royce Woodman called his assistant, "Go and check to see if this person is a drug tester from our company."

After the assistant left, Royce Woodman asked, "Captain Li, how do you know that he is our company's drug tester?"

Luke took out a copy of part of the forensic test report, "According to the police laboratory test, five drug components were found in the body of the deceased, four of which match the components of the Nebivolol antihypertensive drug produced by Jelson Company."

Royce Woodman read the report carefully and said, "Nebivolol antihypertensive drug is already on the market, there is no need to test the drug, you must have made a mistake.

Moreover, the drug ingredients are only similar, not identical, and it is likely that other companies are developing similar antihypertensive drugs, which have nothing to do with our company. "

Luke tentatively asked, "Then is your company developing similar drugs?"

Royce Woodman smiled, and his tone was firm, "It's not necessary at all, Nebivolol is the best antihypertensive drug."

After a while, the female assistant returned to the reception room again and said, "President Woodman, the person on the information is not a drug tester of our company."

Royce Woodman spread his hands, "Captain Li, you heard that."

Luke asked, "Then which company do you think is developing similar antihypertensive drugs?"

Royce Woodman curled his lips, "Wow, this is an offensive topic, and I don't really want to answer it.

What I can tell you with certainty is that this person has nothing to do with our company. "

Luke stood up, "President Woodman, thank you for your assistance, I believe your words.

However, I still have to warn you.

Better watch out for the all-pervasive reporters, we can find out that Rochelle Horn was a drug tester, and so can the reporters.

I believe what you say, but those reporters may not believe it, and they won't be as easy-talking as I am.

If they write indiscriminately, it is likely to have a certain negative impact on Jelson Company.

a kind reminder. "

"Wait." Royce Woodman also stood up, "Are you saying that those reporters also think that the deceased is a drug tester from our company?"

"I don't know, maybe .

I think you should know more about the pharmaceutical industry than I do. "

Royce Woodman rubbed his cheeks and said to the assistant beside him, "You go out first."

The assistant closed the door, and Royce Woodman continued, "Listen, I don't know who is playing tricks, but the deceased is definitely not a drug tester of our company, and has nothing to do with our company."

Luke said, "Then which company's drug tester do you think he is?

come on, tell me. "

"I don't know." Royce Woodman licked his lips and whispered, "However, I heard that Calman Pharmaceuticals is also developing a new type of antihypertensive drug recently, and its ingredients may be similar to Nebivolol antihypertensive drug .”

Luke has an impression of Kalman Company, which is also a pharmaceutical company in Los Angeles, "Thank you for the clues you provided, we will investigate this matter as soon as possible."

"I'm very glad to help you." Royce Woodman smiled, and changed the topic, "If the media reports randomly and involves this matter in our company, I hope the police department can clarify it in time."

"I will."

"Thank you." Royce Woodman shook hands with Luke and sent the two out of the reception room.

Xiao Hei glanced at the assistant standing not far away, and sighed, "I don't like dealing with these people."

Luke said, "The suspect will not commit crimes according to your preferences."

"You're right, at least we got what we wanted."

...

Half an hour later, Luke led the team to Kallman Pharmaceuticals.

When the car drove to the gate of the Kallman Pharmaceutical Company, it was stopped by security guards. Xiao Hei showed his police badge, and the police car was released.

After entering the yard, Luke smelled an unusual smell.

Luke got out of the car. The ground was wet. He looked up at the building in front of him. The whole building was ten stories high, and the lower four floors were intact. The upper building seemed to be on fire, and it was completely black. Most likely six floors.

Xiao Hei also looked at the office building, "It looks like a company with a story."

Afterwards, the two entered the lobby on the first floor, and Luke went straight to the front desk, showing his police badge, "I'm looking for the person in charge here."

"Please wait a moment." The female employee at the front desk picked up the landline and made a call.

A few minutes later, a white man wearing glasses came over, "I'm Fred Kramer, the research and development director of Kallman Corporation, which police officer is looking for me?"

"it's me.

I'm Captain of the Robbery and Murder Division, Luke Lee. "

"Hello, Captain Li, are you here for the arson case?"

"No, I'm here because of Rochelle Horne."

"Sorry, I have no memory of this name."

Luke said, "He's a drug tester."

Fred Kramer frowned slightly, "A drug tester?"

"Yes."

"What drug?"

"An antihypertensive drug similar to Nebivolol."

"Can I have a look at Rochelle Horne's profile?"

Luke handed him Rochelle Horn's photos and information.

After reading it, Fred Kramer returned it to Luke, "His information looks familiar, but I can't be sure."

Xiao Hei urged, "Then check the list of drug testing personnel in your company."

"I hope so too, but..." Fred Kramer spread his hands, his tone becoming more and more angry, "As you can see, our company building is on fire, and the laboratory and data for developing new antihypertensive drugs They were all burned by a fire.

The information of the drug tester is also in it.

The fruits of our years of hard work have been burned. "

"In other words, your company is indeed developing new antihypertensive drugs?"

"Yes, there are more than one billion hypertensive patients in the world, and our company hopes to improve their conditions and even cure them through the development of new drugs.

But it was all ruined by a fire, a lot of data was lost, and we had to start all over again. "

Xiao Hei said, "Does your company not have network data?"

"No, the network is the most insecure. I don't want the results of hard research and development to be stolen without anyone noticing. All our research and development materials are stored in the hard disk, which is the safest.

Unfortunately, some people do not want this kind of drug that can benefit the world to come out. "

"Do you think someone deliberately prevented fire?"

"You should have seen how badly the building was burned.

This building is made of fire-resistant materials. Under normal circumstances, even if it catches fire, it is impossible to burn so badly. "

"Who do you think set the fire?"

Fred Kramer's tone was firm, "Obviously those who don't want the new antihypertensive drug to be successfully developed."

Luke raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you already have a target of suspicion?"
