Los Angeles Detective

half an hour later.

Susan rushed to the scene with the site survey personnel.

Susan asked, "What's going on at the scene?"

David wasn't one to show off, motioned Luke.

"We opened Lawn's private warehouse, which contained a lot of oil paintings and a large box, and when the box was opened, there was a dead body lying in it.

The corpse had been left for at least half a month, and it was completely decomposed. Only a man could be identified, holding an oil painting in his hand, and his identity could not be confirmed for the time being. "

Susan asked, "Have you talked to the person in charge of the storage center?"

Luke pointed to the big fat man beside him, "Borret is the day shift manager, he checked the records for us, there were two visit records in Lawn's warehouse in the past three months.

One was on the night of February 26, and the other was the night before. "

Susan asked, "Can you confirm the identity of the visitor?"

"There is no monitoring inside the storage center, only two cameras are installed in the reception room, and it is not yet known whether the identity of the visitors can be photographed.

Also, I have contacted the night manager who may know more. "

Susan and the inspectors entered the warehouse together, and the rotten smell dissipated a lot, but it was still disgusting.

A lot of oil paintings were scattered in the warehouse, some of which were damaged and showed obvious signs of fighting.

Wearing a mask, Susan walked to the box. Inside was a corpse covered in maggots, her eyes collapsed into two holes, her clothes couldn't see the original color, and the oil painting she was holding was also damaged.

"Captain Susan, please step aside. We're going to move the body outside." The person who spoke was Sheila, the forensic doctor in charge of the autopsy. She was wearing tight protective gear and couldn't see her face clearly.

Susan backed out of the warehouse to make more room for the forensics and investigators.

...

The police borrowed an empty warehouse as a temporary office, and investigation orders were issued from here.

Marcus checks the surveillance in the reception room.

Raymond and Jenny look for witnesses, although it is unlikely, they still have to try.

Luke and David are responsible for taking notes for the warehouse personnel.

The night manager was Romy, a Mexican of about forty years old.

Luke cut to the chase, "Romy, were you on the night shift the night before?"

"Yes." Romy nodded.

There is a big difference between a night shift manager and a day shift manager in terms of job content, salary, and authority.

The night shift manager only needs to be responsible for shifting, registering and recording attendance.

The day shift manager is responsible for more work, such as handling business, auctioning abandoned warehouses, and managing attendance.

In terms of specific work arrangements, the night shift manager should also obey the day shift manager.

To put it bluntly, it's more like a positive and a negative.

Luke continued to ask, did someone open warehouse 53 the night before? "

Romy looked at the entry and exit records and recalled, "Yeah, it was a white woman."

"The tenant of Warehouse No. 53, Lawn, is obviously a man, why did he let a woman in?"

"According to the company's regulations, as long as you have the warehouse key and the tenant's certificate, you can enter the warehouse." Romy pointed to the record book and said, "Look here is the record, the lady showed Lawn's driver's license, I have no reason Don't let her in."

Luke turned on his phone and showed a photo of Caroline, "Do you know this person?"

Romy looked at the photo carefully, "Yes, that's her, I remember, a very elegant lady."

"Did she come alone, or with other companions?"

"I came alone... It was fine when I came, but something was abnormal when I left."

"What kind of abnormal law?"

"She seemed to be frightened and ran away in a panic. I was a little puzzled at the time, why did she come to the warehouse at night?"

"How long has she been in there?"

Romi spread his hands, "I don't know the exact time, it should be less than ten minutes."

According to Luke's guess, Caroline came to the storage center the night before yesterday, probably because she wanted to get something from the warehouse. The light in the warehouse was relatively dark, and there was no one around, so it was a bit scary. Caroline opened the box with anxiety. .

Instead of seeing the desired item, I saw a rotting corpse.

Anyone else would be frightened.

Luke said, "On the night of February 26, someone also came to Warehouse No. 53. Do you still have any memory?"

Romy shook his head, "It's been so long, I don't remember it. But looking at the information on the record sheet, the other party used Lawn's social security card, and it should be the storage center that drove into it."

After finishing the notes, Luke returned to the temporary office and reported the situation to Susan.

Judging from the degree of decomposition of the dead body, it was probably put into the warehouse on February 26.

The investigation progress of all parties has also been summarized one after another.

Mary entered the temporary office, took off her gloves, "Is there any coffee?"

Susan shook her head, "No, when I get back to the bureau, I invite you."

"OK, we have completed the preliminary investigation of the scene. There was a struggle in the warehouse, and there were obvious signs of dragging. This should be the scene of the first crime.

We also found some blood and hair.

However, no identification documents were found, nor was there a mobile phone. "

Susan asked, "Where's the murder weapon?"

"No."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"I will notify you when the test report comes out." After finishing speaking, Mary left the temporary office.

The deputy team said, "According to Mary, the warehouse should be the scene of the crime. If it was a premeditated murder, they should not choose to hide the body in the warehouse.

The reason why this group of people came to the warehouse should be to snatch Lawn's things. I think it is very likely that there was a fight between the gangs due to the uneven distribution of spoils. The deputy team asked, "Do you know who I thought of?" "

Luke guessed, "Tim."

"That's right, Tim has been refusing to turn into a tainted witness. At that time, he speculated that he probably had other criminal records, and the deceased was probably killed by him, so he didn't dare to confess to other accomplices.

Once the accomplice was caught, Tim's murder was exposed. "

Susan asked, "Deputy Captain, are you sure you can get him to plead guilty?"

The deputy team thought for a while, "No, Tim is very suspicious, but he is very vigilant. If no definite evidence is found, he will definitely not admit it."

That's when Marcus walks in, "Hey guys, I've found a big clue."

Everyone has long been used to him being surprised, and Luke asked lightly, "What clue?"

Marcus smiled and did not answer. Instead, he put the tablet in his hand on the table and played a video.

In the video, a black Volvo drove to the gate of the storage center, and the driver in the cab was Tony Weir. He submitted his documents, registered, and then drove the car into the storage center.

Marcus pointed to the video and said, "The corpse of the deceased is so rotten that the appearance cannot be seen clearly, but Tony's clothes in the video are very similar to those of the deceased. Tony Will is probably the deceased."

Luke added, "It could be the killer, too."

He had a question in his mind, why did Tony Will have something to do with Lawn's case?

Who is he?
