Los Angeles Detective

The American police department has complex functions and many types, as well as the Department of Homeland Security, fbi, DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), and CIA.

The police station and size of each city are also different. Many cities do not have anti-drug teams for financial reasons, and the work in this area is directly in charge of the DEA.

Los Angeles is a big city with money, and the police department has a special anti-drug team.

An hour later, the Los Angeles Drug Enforcement Team arrived at Logan Salm's house.

Luke made a brief handover with them.

There are two advantages to handing over the case to the anti-narcotics team instead of the DEA. One is to facilitate the handover, and the other is to pay bonuses in the bureau.

Luke can also earn extra money.

Looking forward to next month's salary.

...

The team members returned one after another, and Susan called a meeting.

In the meeting room.

Susan sat in the main seat, glanced at the crowd, and her eyes fell on Luke, "Captain Jones of the anti-narcotics team just called to express his thanks, Luke, you did a great job."

The deputy team also said, "Your performance recently is indeed very good, with the demeanor I had back then."

Luke smiled, this old man really doesn't know how to praise others, he doesn't want to be just a vice team for half his life.

Susan said, "OK, let's talk about the wills case next.

Deputy team, please summarize this case. "

The deputy team opened the notebook and glanced, "This case is actually not complicated, but the order of the criminals is a bit out of order.

We first learned of the case when Daisy was robbed on March 3. At that time, the suspect deliberately imitated the Taser robbery in order not to attract the attention of the police.

Afterwards, Luke discovered that Daisy's house had a camera, and found out that the case was not simple, and then found out about the attack on Lawn.

Tony's body was discovered by investigating the case of Lawn's attack.

Caroline then disappeared.

Lawn runs away.

This is the process of investigating the case, but not the order in which the case occurred. "

The deputy team took a sip of coffee and continued, "Although I haven't left the office, I've been collecting information from various sources and have clarified the situation of the case.

According to the confession of the suspect Tim, the mastermind behind the case is Cole Baker. Matthew checked and found that this is a false identity. Information about him is only a sketch portrait.

According to my speculation, the murderer Cole and the victims Tony and Lawn knew each other very early, and they got a windfall many years ago.

Among them is an oil painting by Impressionist master Schilder Hasson.

The related cases of the will case were all caused by this oil painting. "

Marcus asked curiously, "Is this oil painting expensive?"

The deputy team laughed, "Bill Gates has an oil painting of Schild Hasson at home, what do you think?"

Marcus' eyes widened, "I bought it, I like it!"

"Not only you like it, Cole Baker likes it too." The deputy team continued, "I speculate that the three people shared the spoils unevenly back then, and the oil painting is probably in the hands of Tony and Lawn.

In order to get the painting, Cole first kidnaps Tony, but the oil painting is not in Tony's hands, and he attacks Lawn again.

Lawn told Cole the warehouse where the paintings were stored.

Cole rushed to the warehouse with Tim and Tony, but did not find the oil painting in the warehouse, Cole killed Tony in a rage.

Cole still wanted to continue looking for the oil painting, but Lawn had fallen into a coma, so he wanted to check whether there was any clue of the painting in Lawn's will.

According to Tim's account, Cole was also injured when he killed Tony, so he ordered Tim to grab the will from Daisy.

However, Tim was captured by Luke.

Cole recovers from his injuries and breaks into Daisy's house to install a camera. He is discovered by Luke again, and the police also intervene in the investigation.

It can be seen from the escape of Lawn that the wealth they obtained back then may not be clean.

Lawn is not only afraid of Cole, but also afraid of the police. "

Marcus said, "So the whole case has nothing to do with Lawn's children?"

The deputy team nodded, "From the current situation, the children did follow Lawn's orders."

Susan put a sketch portrait on the projector, "OK, the arrest warrant for the suspect Cole Baker has been applied for, and this is his portrait."

Marcus asked, "Where's Lawn?"

Susan said, "The will suspects are Cole Baker and Tim.

Lawn is the victim. He just broke away from the protection of the police, which does not mean that he is guilty.

His previous experience was just speculation by the deputy team, and there was no evidence to prove that he had committed a crime. "

Susan continued to ask, "Marcus, is there a way to find Cole Baker?"

"If he's in Los Angeles, I can try, but if he's out of town, there's nothing I can do."

The deputy team said, "Actually, I have a way, maybe I can find clues about Cole Baker..."

...

next morning.

Robbery Murder Division Interrogation Room.

Lawyer Dave was brought into the interrogation room.

The deputy and Marcus are in charge of the interrogation.

The other team members stayed in the observation room.

David also returned to the team, pointing behind the glass, "Don't you think this combination is a bit strange?"

Luke laughed, "Dave likes Marcus."

Dave looked at the deputy team and Marcus, and at the surrounding walls, "Is Officer Luke there? I still like him better."

"Hey, look this way." Marcus knocked on the table, "What do you think this is?"

"I've already pleaded guilty, what else do you want?" Dave stared at the deputy team, "Will you let me go only if I admit to killing Steven?"

The deputy team took advantage of the situation and asked, "So, you admit that Steven was killed by you."

"No, I've said it a hundred times, that kid went to Mexico to have fun."

The deputy team asked back, "You have already been arrested, and his arrest warrant has been withdrawn, why didn't you come back?"

"It's Mexico, anything can happen, maybe he fell in love with a Mexican woman and made a home there, and Mexican women are notoriously passionate.

Of course, the Mexican gangsters are not easy to mess with, wandering around Mexico with 40,000 dollars... I have been praying to God, hoping that he can come back safely. "

"Dave, put away your crocodile tears, it's disgusting." The deputy waved his hand, "I'm here today, not to talk to you about Steven, but about Tony."

Dave sighed, "Tony again?"

"Tony was indeed killed."

"Nothing to do with me."

Marcus stood up and handed a few photos to Dave, "Don't be scared to pee your pants."

Dave took the photo and looked at it, his face became more and more ugly, and he knocked on the interrogation chair vigorously, "fuck! fuck..."

"Stop! Why are you so excited?"

"Who killed Tony?"

"What's your relationship with Tony?"

Dave took a deep breath and calmed down, "Friend."

The deputy team said instantly, "Since we are friends, we want to ask you for some clues to catch Tony's murderer as soon as possible."

Dave asked without answering, "When did Tony die?"

"Hey, we should ask you now, OK?" The deputy team took the initiative and asked again, "Who is Tony Will's real identity?"

Dave was silent for a long time, "Sorry, I won't tell you."

The deputy team threw away the pen in his hand and leaned back on the chair, "If you don't cooperate, the murderer who killed Tony will go free. Is this how you treat your friends?"

"I am willing to cooperate, but not to talk to you."

"Hmph." The deputy team snorted, "Who do you want to talk to?"

"Prosecutor."

The deputy team's face darkened, "Listen, talk to me first, if the clues you provide are valuable, I will help you apply for a commutation of sentence."

Dave sneered, "I'm a lawyer."

Let's talk a few words.

Some book friends said that the plot is slow.

I also revisit the novel outline.

In fact, by this chapter, the second case 'the will case' has been clarified.

It's just that the murderer hasn't been caught yet. (foreshadowing)

This case is only about twenty chapters.

Compared with most cool articles, the rhythm may be slower.

But I feel that only in this way can the taste of detective novels be written.

Before writing this novel, I thought about it for a long time, what is the positioning?

I would not choose an American background if I just write cool articles. The domestic background will be better.

But I want to write a novel that has a sense of reality, can be savored in detail, and has full characters.

This is the first time for me to write about European and American backgrounds, and I am also worried that if I can't write well, book clubs will be uncomfortable.

There was a lot of preparation before the start.

Finally, I figured it out and wanted to write an American drama-style novel with a detective theme.

In addition to investigating cases, there will also be some life interactions.

The main supporting roles are all three-dimensional, with their own personalities and lives.

It is also the first time for me to write this type of novel, I hope everyone can give me some time to figure it out.

No matter how much preparation I do in the early stage, various problems will still arise when I actually write it.

I also hope that book friends will be more patient, and the following cases will be absolutely wonderful.
