Los Angeles Detective

There was a tangled look on Meguel's face.

The more he refused to speak, the bigger the matter was.

Luke tentatively said, "Pari Jones has already chosen to cooperate with the police. If you don't tell me, she will come forward and identify you."

"Fuck, if I knew this black woman was unreliable, I shouldn't have believed her." Meigel scolded.

"Do you want to wait to be identified by her, or do you want to take the initiative to confess and strive for a favorable plea agreement?"

Meiguer realized that there was no escape, "I want a plea agreement.

As long as you can give me an exemption agreement, I will tell you everything I know, and I will give you all the evidence. "

"If I agreed to give you a plea deal right now, I would be lying to you.

No one will give you that kind of promise right away.

You have to explain the facts of the case first, and the police and the prosecution will consider the sentencing according to the actual situation. If you plead guilty well, you may not be exempt from charges.

But only if you confess, don't lie, and don't hide. "

Migel thought for a while, "What did that woman Pari Jones say?"

"Do you want the police to fully accept her statement?"

"No."

"Then leave her alone and tell what you know. If you cooperate with the police, the police will give you a good plea agreement."

"Can I trust you?"

"You have no choice."

Pari Jones and Miguel are on the same front, as long as they break through one of them, they can encircle the other.

Pari Jones is a reporter who understands the law and how to deal with the police. Although she may have been exposed to some gray areas, Luke estimates that her violations are not serious.

It's not easy to break through her psychological defense, and maybe there will be news incidents.

But Meguel is different. He has a history of drug abuse, a criminal record, and is on bail. He is a frightened bird.

Luke had caught his bail violation and had already panicked him into telling part of the Dracula's bar murder case.

As long as she thinks that Pali Jones has confessed, the psychological pressure will be even greater.

When Miguel was brought back to the police station, the psychological defense completely collapsed.

Many suspects are bullying outside, and once they enter the police station, they will be cowardly, "Inspector Luke, I do know something, and I am willing to take the initiative to explain."

Luke brought him into the interrogation room, "Migel, you can say, this is the last chance."

"That night, I parked my car at the back of the pub and I wanted to go to the pub and have some fun.

The advantage of putting your car at the back door of the bar is that you don't have to pay the parking fee, but the disadvantage is that it may be missed by car thieves.

Therefore, I have been paying more attention to the movement at the back door of the bar. I heard something outside, so I went out to check.

It was scary to see a woman lying on the ground with two blood holes in her neck and blood on the ground.

I ran back to the car, because I had a dashcam in my car, and I checked the monitor of the dashcam to capture the horrible scene. "

"What did you capture?"

"The video is in my phone, you can watch it." Meigel found a video from his phone and handed it to Luke.

Xiao Hei also walked over with his head.

The video is at the back door of the bar, and the light is a bit dim.

Nicole was standing at the back door of the bar on the phone. After hanging up the phone, she seemed a little hesitant, and then seemed to send a message, which seemed to be a lot easier.

She put away her mobile phone and wanted to leave, when the back door of the bar suddenly opened, and a man in a black cloak rushed out and rushed towards the unprepared Nicole.

"Ah..." Nicole screamed.

Nicole was thrown to the ground, and the man in the black cloak seemed to be biting Nicole.

Soon, Nicole was silent.

The man in the black cloak also stood up, froze for three seconds, and fled into the distance.

Combining this video with the confessions of Nicole's father and Laura, Luke probably guessed the cause of Nicole's death.

Nicole has been frightened by vampires since she was a child, and is terrified of this unknown creature.

But she is not a person who knows how to say no.

Laura invited her to the bar, and she said yes anyway.

But that doesn't mean she likes it. On the contrary, she hates and even fears this vampire bar.

While going outside to answer the phone, she wanted to find an excuse to leave the bar.

Just finished texting Laura and breathed a sigh of relief.

A 'vampire' sprang out from the back door of the bar, and rushed to bite her. In a dim environment, this kind of situation would shock anyone.

Nicole was terrified to death.

Luke raised his head and looked at Miguel, "Go on."

"Afterwards, I thought about calling the police, but I am in a bit of an embarrassing situation now, and I want to use this video to make some money.

Later, I got in touch with Pari Jones through my friends and sold her the video.

You know the rest. "

Luke shook his head, "I said don't hide it."

Meiguer quibbles, "I didn't hide it."

"Where is the black backpack on the deceased? The murderer didn't take the backpack after attacking Nicole."

Miguel was silent again.

Luke walked to the interrogation chair and said earnestly, "As I said, Pari Jones has already explained that what you gave her is not just a video, you and I both know this, if I take the initiative, Your plea deal is gone."

"OK, let me tell you. I took the black backpack."

"What's in there?"

"Mobile phone, business card and some feminine items, some change."

"How do you deal with these things?"

"I took the change, hid my mobile phone and backpack, and planned to exchange it for money after a while. I also sold one of the business cards to Pari Jones."

"How much did you sell for?"

"The video is four thousand dollars, the business card is a thousand dollars."

Xiao Hei smiled, "It's a pity you don't do business."

"Do you know that these belong to the evidence of the crime scene?"

Miguel nodded.

"Does Pari Jones know?"

"How could that ghost woman not know." Meigel showed a begging look, "Inspector Luke, I told you everything I know, should we talk about the plea agreement?"

Luke asked, "You should know the importance of this video, you can sell the video and business card to Pari Jones, why not give the police a copy?

You can send it to the police anonymously and it won't hurt your small business. "

Megel was stunned for a moment, "The woman refused to let me do this, she said she wanted to do exclusive news, and said that the news TV station did not broadcast the video before it was broadcast, and no one else could see it, let alone call the police.

That's part of our deal, the woman wants to make a big story. "

"Which woman?"

"Pari Jones."

"Is what you just said true?"

"certainly."

"Are you willing to turn to the tainted witness to identify Pari Jones?"

"I would."

...

After leaving the interrogation room, Xiao Hei said, "That video is really weird, why did that person bite Nicole.

Could 'it' really be a vampire. "

Luke glanced at him and sighed, "How did your brain grow?"

Xiao Hei said, "You also saw that guy jumped up and bit Nicole, how could a normal person do that? What's the motive?"

"We'll know when we catch the murderer."

"I didn't even see his face clearly, how do I catch him?"

"That one can be released first, and Pari Jones is dealt with first. If the police department sees a video of a 'vampire' biting someone on TV, we will be finished."

Rhett and Susan both bear the brunt.

It is estimated that Luke's promotion to the deputy team will also fall through.

...

CBE News Television.

The United States can be said to be the birthplace of TV hosts, but what is interesting is that there are no competitions for selecting hosts in the United States, and there are no schools and majors for training hosts.

The news program hosts in the United States are all journalists, and there are very few hosts who can't interview and can only act as microphones.

Big media seldom directly hire fresh graduates.

Because journalists are the profession most prone to "mistakes", novices sometimes do not do the interview well, report the news inaccurately, and are prone to say wrong things. If they make mistakes, they will often lead to troubles or even lawsuits.

Pari Jones is a driven journalist with dreams and goals.

She wants to be a real news presenter.

The competition in this industry is quite fierce, and if you want to be in the top position, you must have enough precious exclusive news, which can attract the attention of the audience and make the program get higher ratings.

Pari Jones has always felt that she has this ability, but she just lacks a chance to be in the top position.

She has a keen judgment and knows what the audience wants. For example, the school Y shooting, things related to children and education can easily resonate with citizens.

The appearance of exhibitionist police officers at the shooting scene can just attract the attention of the audience.

She wanted to use the school Y shooting to make her famous, but after the second shooting, the police quickly cracked the case.

The exhibitionist policeman was also packaged as a lone hero.

Pari Jones' plan fell through.

Mentally suffocated.

She wants to get a big news, news that is more explosive than the school Y shooting.

She wants to take the lead!

This time, no one can stop her!

Not even real vampires.

It's seven o'clock in the evening, an hour before the evening news.

Pari Jones was reading the manuscript in the live broadcast room. This was her live broadcast debut. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous.

In order to avoid forgetting the words, she must be familiar enough.

Self-introduction, opening remarks, and then playing the biting video, commenting on the event, the style should be humorous and ridiculed...

Pari Jones has already memorized the sequence of broadcasts, and she has put a lot of effort into this live broadcast.

Even made some illegal moves...

According to Pari Jones, the rules are made by the strong. If you want to climb up, you must either be lucky enough, rely on external forces, or go beyond the rules.

The rules are to restrict the weak and divide the class. If you follow the rules step by step, you will never be able to cross the class.

It's worth taking a little risk for your future.

The "golden age" of news program hosts is about forty years old. People in this age group are mature, stable, authoritative and gender attractive, and they are easy to win people's favor and trust.

If you can't become a news presenter in your thirties, it will be too late.

The director of the news program came over and reminded, "Pari, the show starts in a few minutes, and the video has to be edited in advance by the director."

Pari is a very shrewd woman. She knew that the video was her capital, and she was unwilling to take it out until the last moment.

"OK, that video is here." Pari opened the bag and took out a hard drive from it.

"Hi, we meet again!"

At some point, there were a few more people in the back row of the auditorium in the studio.

A black-haired young man got up from the auditorium and walked to the live broadcast station.

The director got angry, pointed at Luke and shouted, "Who are you? Who let you in?"

Luke shook his head, "Who are you? I don't like your attitude."

"I'm the director of the show, I'm in charge here, leave my studio immediately!"

Luke flashed his police badge, "In the past, you might have the final say here, but not now.

From now on it will be taken over by lapd, all the equipment will be sealed, no one is allowed to leave without my permission. "

The director asked, "What are you doing, who allowed you to do this?"

David came over and patted the search warrant on the director, "See this thing clearly, and then shut your stinky mouth."

Pari Jones pouted her thick lips, her expression tense, "Why did you break into my live broadcast room, do you want to do a show with me? Talk about violent law enforcement."

Luke smiled. "How about this top of mine? Do you still like it?"

Pari Jones asked back, "Are you going to take it off? Do you like to show your muscles every time you enforce the law?"

Luke took a step back, "Don't talk to me in such a flirtatious tone, you're not my type. Be careful I'll sue you for harassment."

"You came to my stream to sue me for harassment. Wow... lapd is really impressive.

Is our director here, and you catch it together? "

"You are right, I will talk to your station chief. Jenny, take her back to the police station." Luke waved his hand and said to the technical team,

"All equipment must be packed and brought back to the police station, and all personnel must be brought back to the police station for questioning."

Pari Jones raised her head, fearless, "Why do you arrest me? I want a reason.

This is a news TV station, I don't know how many cameras are facing you.

If you don't want to come to a live broadcast, give a valid reason. "

Luke showed his arrest warrant, "Is that enough reason?"

Pari Jones took the arrest warrant and examined it carefully, "Purchasing stolen goods? Obstructing law enforcement?

You are simply framing, I have never done such a thing. "

Luke said, "I am so familiar with this sentence, it is almost every suspect's mantra.

You know what you have done.

Now it's not that I don't give reasons, but that you refuse to admit it. "

Pari Jones did not give up. "Are you referring to the video? I bought it from the informant. It belongs to him, not to the deceased. It is not considered stolen goods at all."

"No, I mean the business card."

"Business card?" Pari Jones sneered, "Business card can also be regarded as stolen goods, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Luke said, "Ordinary business cards don't count, but business cards that get stolen at a crime scene and sell for thousands of dollars do."

Pari quibbled, "I just want to know the identity of the deceased, I don't know that it is stolen goods."

"You'd better tell the judge, I'm sure he's interested in a thousand-dollar business card."

"Is there another charge of obstructing law enforcement? I have never done it?" Compared with buying stolen goods, Pari's charge is more serious.

Luke asked back, "Where did you get your video?"

"Bought it from an informant."

"What's the informant's name?"

"Migel Carter"

Luke said, "That's right, according to Meguel's confession, he originally wanted to send a copy of the video to the police, but you don't agree, you want to do the scoop.

He was also warned not to let the police know of the existence of the video before it was reported by news TV stations. "

Pari denied, "I didn't say that, he was lying. He is a rotten person, he has a lot of crimes, and he doesn't dare to deal with the police."

Luke asked back, "Why do you think Michael Carter is afraid to call the police? Even if he has a criminal record before, it doesn't mean he is related to this case? Are you discriminating against criminals?"

Pari was silent.

The reason was simple. She suspected that Mai Geer had taken the stolen goods from the scene of the crime, but she couldn't say this, otherwise she would indirectly admit that she knew the business card was stolen goods.

"Would you rather trust a rotten person? Than a reporter?"

"We only believe in evidence. Take her!"

In fact, based on Luke's experience, we can probably guess some situations.

Judging from the fact that Pari wanted to do the scoop, she should have said something similar, just maybe less explicit.

Both suspects were passing the buck and trying to clean themselves up.
