Los Angeles Detective

Robbery Murder Division.

James Robinson was brought into the interrogation room and handcuffed to an interrogation chair.

Luke and Jackson sat across from each other, talking softly.

James Robinson showed an angry look and shook the handcuffs, "Two police officers, is it necessary to do this?"

Jackson looked it up and down, "Not bad, it matches you very well."

James Robinson stared at Jackson, "I want to sue you, I am the victim of the false alarm, even if I guessed the identity of the alarm, you should not treat me like this.

Investigating the case is your business, I did not break the law. "

Luke snapped his fingers, "Look at this, I'm interrogating you today, not for a false alarm case.

I'm not interested in that case right now, I'm here because of something in your computer. "

"Computer? What happened to my computer?"

"We found some illegal videos in your computer. I want to know the source and details of these videos." Luke asked Matthew to check the computer carefully, and found many pornographic videos, including three underage girls, Olive Browning is just one of them.

"I... don't know what you're talking about." James Robinson lowered his head, looking a little nervous.

Luke took out the tablet to play the video, "Then you can watch it carefully."

James Robinson panicked when he saw the video, "Why did you show me this?"

"These were found from your computer host, didn't you store them?"

James Robinson took a deep breath and tried to calm down, "No."

Jackson pointed to the screen and asked, "Look carefully at these girls, they are the age of innocence and romance, they should be studying in school, they should have the best time.

But they are coerced into doing the dirtiest and ugliest things. Doesn't your heart ache watching these videos? "

James Robinson shook his head, "It has nothing to do with me, it must have been done by hackers."

"James Robinson, I'm sure you have female relatives, and may even marry and start a family of your own.

You may also have a lovely daughter. Put yourself in the shoes and think about it, what would you do if something like this happened to your future daughter?

To prevent the same thing from happening to your daughter, you should stand up. "

"Sorry, I'd love to help them too, but I really don't know why the video is on my computer."

Seeing that the warm and emotional route was useless, Jackson expected to turn cold, "Whether you admit it or not, it is a fact that the video appeared on your computer, and you can't deny it."

James Robinson's tone was firm. "I said, I was wronged, I never read these things.

I need to see a lawyer. "

Jackson didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn. He obviously found it on the computer and still didn't admit it. "Then why are there these videos in your computer?"

"I don't know either. My computer was hacked before, and maybe some hacker stored it on the computer."

"boom!"

With a bang, Jackson slapped the table and shouted, "Are you taking us for fools?"

Luke waved his hand, signaling him to be calm, and said to James Robinson earnestly, "Listen, the purpose of our interrogation is not to convict you, but to learn more about the situation and rescue these kidnapped girl."

James Robinson hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know anything."

Luke continued to persuade, "Even if you don't admit it, storing these videos in your computer is also illegal, and we will still sue you.

Once you go to court, things may cause big troubles, and the TV station media are very interested in this kind of news. At that time, you will be Los Angeles, no, you will be a celebrity in the entire United States.

Congratulations, superstar! "

"I have the right to privacy, why can't you do this." James Robinson showed a panicked look. If that's the case, this stain will affect his voice, and his life will be miserable.

Even, if he is imprisoned for this crime, there is a high probability that he will not be able to come out with his whole body.

"You are right, but a small group of unscrupulous media don't care about this, they only care about whether the news will become a hot topic.

News like yours is exactly what they like.

Like piranhas smelling fishy, ​​they seep through every hole.

If you want to avoid those unscrupulous media, then solve the matter in this room.

We'll help you keep it a secret. "

James Robinson had a complex look on his face, "Really?"

"Do you have a better choice?"

James Robinson pondered for a long time, seemingly moved, "I was wrong... I'm just curious, and I don't really like these.

I'm not a psycho, and I don't want to be seen as one.

Will you really keep me a secret? "

"Of course." Luke explained, "Everyone has a curiosity-seeking mentality, no matter what your reason for watching the video is, I don't care.

All I care about is the girl in the video.

She was kidnapped and she is only thirteen years old this year. We need to rescue her.

If you can provide some valuable leads, we will also help you secure a favorable plea deal. "

James Robinson lowered his head and said courageously, "I saved these videos in my computer, but I don't know this girl, and I don't know what clues I can give you."

"I'll ask you to answer." Luke took out his notebook and crossed out the first question on it, "Where did the video come from?"

"Bought it on the dark web."

"When did you buy it?"

"Early October, it seems to be October 2nd."

"Do you know the identity of the seller?"

"No, the dark web is confidential."

"Can you still contact the other party?"

"I just registered as a member of the website, and then got the download permission, so I can't talk about contact."

"What's the name of the website?"

"Little wildflowers."

"Do I need to pay to register as a member?"

"Yes."

"How did you pay the fee? Are there any records?"

James Robinson said, "It was traded in Bitcoin, and I couldn't find anything. I never admitted it before. It's not that I'm cold-blooded, but I really can't provide clues to the seller."

The dark web, the dark web again.

For this word, Luke has heard it many times and has done some simple understanding.

The biggest difference between the dark web and the ordinary web lies in its privacy. Ordinary users cannot see the dark web, nor can they enter the dark web through conventional means.

Many materials that cannot be disseminated and published on the clear web can be found on the dark web, which is equivalent to a private network.

However, Luke is only a theoretical school, not proficient in computers, "How did you get into the dark web?"

"With the help of the onion router, I downloaded the Tor browser to access the dark web..."

During this interrogation, Luke asked a lot about the dark web. The more he learned, the more he felt that the dark web was a hotbed of crime, and he might deal with it frequently in the future.

The dark web is a bit like an onion, with layers of encryption. There are many nodes in the loop chain that has been turned back and forth to the Internet. The information on the Internet is encrypted once through a node. The data comes from the last computer, and this node is random.

This ensures that both buyers and sellers are anonymous and difficult to trace.

Another major feature is the transaction method.

Regardless of whether it is a cash transaction or an account transaction, traces will be left, and the clues will be traced along the traces to find buyers and sellers.

But the dark web uses bitcoin transactions, which are also untraceable.

In other words, the emergence of Bitcoin made up for the shortcomings of the dark web, making the dark web a paradise for crimes.

After interrogating James Robinson, Luke went straight to the chief's office.

"Boom..."

"Come in."

Luke enters the office and sees Red sitting behind his desk on the phone.

Rhett pointed to the chair across from the desk.

Luke sat on a chair and put the file in his hand on the table.

After a while, Reid hung up the phone, "What do you want from me?"

"Director, we discovered something new when investigating the false alarm case."

"Have you found someone dead?"

"No."

"That's good news, let's talk about it."

"We found some pornographic action movies on James Robinson's computer, and the three girls in the videos were all underage."

"So the false alarms may not all be false, and they helped us catch a pervert.

It's time to teach this pervert a lesson. "

"I'm going to say more than that." Luke took out his tablet and looked for a screenshot of Olive Browning's video, "Director, this girl's name is Olive Browning, a kidnapping victim .”

Reid put on his glasses and looked at the tablet carefully, "Yes, I know this girl, but at that time, the first squadron was not in charge of the case, but the second squadron was in charge of the investigation.

I remember that the kidnappers asked for a ransom, but they never came to take the ransom, and there was no news for a long time.

Everyone thought the girl was ripped off. "

"According to James Robinson, who bought the video on October 2, the girl is likely still alive.

The kidnappers did not kill her, but used her to make movies to make money. "

"Very good, this clue is very important!" Reid nodded, then looked at Luke, "You came to me to take over the case?"

Luke said, "No, I just feel sorry for these girls, and my teammates and I want to help them.

All the evidence is here, take your time. "

Luke left the office. As he said, the reason why he took the initiative to investigate the clues of the three girls was mainly because he wanted to do his best. He had done what he could and had a clear conscience.

As for selfishness, there is also one point, that is, you can show your credit in front of the director. In the end, no matter which department solves the case, there must be a squadron to share the credit.

However, he will not take the case on his own initiative.

There are two reasons. First, this case was handled by Chen Kelin, the captain of the Second Squadron. Now that he has taken over the case, what is that?

Rob case?

Everyone is from the robbery and murder department. Chen Kelin is older than him. Luke took the initiative to rob the case he was in charge of. This is a big taboo.

If Luke solves the case, others may say that you took the credit.

If you can't solve the case, the fun will be even greater.

The second point is that Chen Kelin, as the captain of the Second Squadron, has good case-handling skills. If he can't solve the cases, Luke will definitely be able to solve them?

not necessarily.

Luke told Reid the clues of the case, even if he did his part, he could also show credit to Reid, and after the case was solved, the credit would be shared by a squadron, which was enough.

...

next morning.

Robbery Murder Division conference room.

Reid and Chen Kelin met the Brownings together.

When the black couple was in their forties, they both looked haggard, obviously not yet out of the haze of their daughter being kidnapped.

The black woman's eyes were red, she leaned on the table with both hands, and asked impatiently, "Captain Chen, you said you found a new clue about my daughter?"

Rhett made a gesture of invitation, "Mrs. Browning, please sit down, we do have news about your daughter."

"God, it's real, I'm not dreaming." The black woman cried.

The black man on the side helped his wife to sit down and asked, "Director Rhett, is my daughter still alive?"

Reid hesitated for a while, "The clues are delayed to a certain extent. I can't judge her current situation, but I think it is very likely that she is alive."

"Great, thank you so much, please save my daughter, we really can't live without her." Mrs. Browning burst into tears.

The black husband also had red eyes, but he held back his tears, comforted his wife in a low voice, and asked, "Director Rhett, can you tell me about the new clues you found?"

Reid nodded, "Since the ransom was delivered last time, the kidnappers have not actively contacted me again.

But our Robbery and Murder Division did not give up investigating your daughter's clues. Everyone in our division is thinking about this case.

The new clues were provided by people from a squadron. When they were investigating other cases, they found a video of your daughter. The video was obtained on October 2, so there is a high possibility that your daughter is alive. "

The black husband asked, "Can I watch the video?"

"The content of the video... is not easy to accept, and I don't recommend you watch it."

"Director Rhett, I am mentally prepared. Instead of thinking about it, I still want to know her current situation."

Reid refused again, "Mr. Browning, the video is evidence for the investigation of the case, and it is inconvenient for you and your wife to watch."

"I see." The black husband didn't force it, maybe he wasn't as strong as he imagined.

He wanted to watch the video because he cared for his daughter, but deep down in his heart he might not dare to watch it. He was constantly struggling. Reid's refusal made him have no choice and less pain of choice.

The black husband asked, "Director Rhett, Captain Chen, how are you going to find my daughter next, and are you sure you can rescue her?"

Reid and Chen Kelin looked at each other, and the latter said, "We also just got clues and are preparing to start an investigation. I invite you two to come over today, just to inform you that the case will be reopened.

If you have any new clues, you can contact us. "

The couple didn't seem satisfied with the answer.

The black husband said, "Director Rhett, you said earlier that this clue was discovered by the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division?"

"Yes."

"Excuse me, is the captain of the No. 1 Squadron Captain Luke Lee who just won the Public Safety Officer Medal for Bravery in the Special Zone?"

"You know him?"

"Since my daughter was kidnapped, I have been following the situation of the police department. I know that he has solved many big cases, the headless woman case, the vampire murder case, the school shooting case, and the Las Vegas shooting case.

It can be said that he was responsible for or participated in the detection of major criminal cases in Los Angeles.

This shows his ability and also shows how much the police station values ​​him.

Since he discovered new clues to the case, why didn't he hand over my daughter's case to him for investigation? Isn't my daughter's case important? "

Rhett quickly explained, "Mr Browning, it's not what you think, we attach great importance to your daughter's case.

That's why the case was handed over to the Second Squadron. Captain Chen has rich experience in handling cases and is also a capable and responsible captain. "

The black husband responded, "You're right, Captain Chen is also very responsible for my daughter's case, and I see his efforts.

I know I shouldn't have said those words just now, Captain Chen did a good job...

But my daughter's life or death is uncertain now, and I don't want what happened last time to happen again...

I'm just trying to do my best... to give my daughter a chance to be rescued.

I hope she lives..."

The black husband asked sincerely, "Captain Chen, are you sure you can rescue my daughter?"

Chen Kelin was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "No."

Reid said, "Mr. Browning, no one can guarantee that the murderer will be caught until the case is solved.

Even Captain Luke Lee is the same. "

"I know.

But Captain Lee is the best detective in Los Angeles.

If even he can't save my daughter, I'll give up.

I just want to help my daughter have an extra chance of being rescued.

Director Ruide and Director Chen, you should also be fathers, I believe you can understand my feelings. "

The black woman choked up and said, "Director Rhett, please. We just hope that Olive can come back alive, woohoo..."

Reid sent the couple away, and called Chen Kelin to the office, "Kelin, what do you think of this?"

"Boss, I obey your instructions."

"Don't play tricks with me. You were in charge of this case before. Now, I want to hear your opinion."

Chen Kelin sighed, "To be honest, it's been so long since this case, I didn't expect...

They were also not sure about rescuing their daughter.

It wasn't easy for me last time either.

If they trust Captain Li more, I am willing to hand over this case to Captain Li. "

Reid said helplessly, "If you don't want to hand over now, Luke will definitely take over.

He respects you very much, and he doesn't want to steal your case, and he doesn't want the members of the first squadron and the second squadron to have any suspicions because of this incident. "

If Luke found out new clues to the case and immediately took the case over, Chen Kelin might feel uncomfortable, and the members of the Second Squadron would also complain, thinking that Luke was robbing their case.

But now it is different, Luke handed over the new clues of the case directly to Reid, Chen Kelin also knew the clues of the case, and the victim's parents asked Luke to take over the case.

This also indirectly showed that they no longer trusted Chen Kelin.

Under the premise of distrust, Chen Kelin continued to investigate the case. If the victim still cannot be rescued this time, the Brownings will definitely feel dissatisfied.

This is not good for him or the police department.

Chen Kelin said, "Director, I will talk to Luke to dispel his worries."

Thank you for your concern.

I have had a toothache all this time.

I'm quite useless, and I'm afraid of going to the dental office.

Yesterday it was a tooth problem again, and my condition was very poor. I know this matter cannot be delayed.

Last night, I did psychological construction and became cruel.

Had my tooth pulled out this morning. (It's the first tooth extraction, I laughed.)

Everyone should also pay more attention to the body, the body is the capital of the revolution.
