Los Angeles Detective

Los Angeles suburbs.

This is located on the west coast of Los Angeles, with beautiful scenery and many holiday homes built on the hillside.

A black SUV is parked outside a modern-style holiday home with glass as the main body.

The window of the co-pilot seat is open, and Luke looks out the window at the luxurious holiday home, and says with some doubt, "Are you sure Buddy Crook is here?"

Jackson, who was driving, replied, "Yes, Buddy Crook and his wife have two properties in their name, one is the house at the crime scene, and the other is this holiday home, the address is here."

Xiao Hei poked his head out from the back seat and said with some envy, "The environment here is really beautiful, and the holiday home is also great. I didn't expect this couple to be invisible rich people."

The three got out of the car and walked outside the holiday home.

Luke looked around and didn't find anything unusual.

Jackson pressed the doorbell, "Ding Dong."

After a while, the video doorbell screen turned on, and Buddy Crook's image appeared on the screen. Seeing Jackson's face, he was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Officer Jackson, why are you here? I just went to the police station this morning."

"Mr. Buddy Crook, there is new progress in your wife's case, and we need to talk to you."

After a while, the gate opened, and Luke and the other two walked into the yard.

There are all kinds of flowers and plants planted in the yard, which are not neat and look like they haven't been taken care of for a while.

The door in the middle of the yard opened, and Buddy Crook stood at the door, looking at Luke and the other two, frowning, "Sir, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

Luke praised, "The environment here is beautiful, and the holiday home is also beautiful."

"Thank you, please come in."

Buddy Crook stepped aside and motioned Luke and others to go in.

The room uses a lot of glass building materials, which has excellent light transmittance. The spacious living room is very bright, and you can enjoy the scenery outside while sitting in the living room.

Xiao Hei sat down on the sofa, "I like the style of this house, the view is great."

"Thank you.

My house in the city has become a crime scene and is not habitable now, so I have to move here." Buddy Crook sighed, "Sorry, no one has lived here for a long time, so it's a bit messy."

Jackson laughed at himself, "No No, it's much cleaner here than my home. "

Buddy Crook sat on the sofa and looked at Luke and the other two, "Tell me about my wife's case."

Luke said, "This afternoon, we found some new clues and want to verify with you."

Buddy Crook asked, "What clues?"

"Before I say it, I want to ask you a question. Where were you at 5:45 pm the day before yesterday?"

Buddy Crook frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "I was on a business trip in Las Vegas."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Luke stared at the other party and asked, "Do you have a VISA credit card with the last number 7569?"

"Uh, it seems so."

"If you can't remember, check your credit card. I need an accurate answer, yes or no."

Buddy Crook With his arms folded across his chest, he leaned back on the sofa. "Yes, is there any problem with this?"

"The day before yesterday afternoon, at 5:45, this credit card was used to purchase at a gas station near Los Angeles. How do you explain this?"

"Uh..." Buddy Crook hesitated for a long time. "I'm not sure. I haven't used that credit card for a long time. I can't even remember where I put it.

It may be lost."

"Even if it is lost, if there is no password, the person who finds it cannot use it."

"My password is very simple, just six zeros. Maybe the other party guessed it right."

"Mr. Buddy Crook, I hope you think about it before answering. Our conversation now will be recorded. If you lie, you will be held legally responsible."

Buddy Crook pursed his lips, lowered his head and sighed, looking a little anxious.

Luke continued, "Listen, while we are talking, my colleagues have already rushed to the gas station to check the situation.

Even if you don't tell the truth, the owner of the gas station will not keep it a secret for you.

Besides, are you sure you can escape the surveillance of the gas station?

If not, then you'd better tell the truth."

Buddy Crook finally couldn't hold it anymore and showed a look of regret, "Oh my God, I'm so unlucky. I'm the biggest idiot in the world. No one is stupider than me."

Xiao Hei stretched out his right index finger and pointed at the other party, "You admit that your alibi is false. The reason you lied is to cover up the fact of murder."

Buddy Crook retorted, "I didn't kill anyone.

Blanche and Gary Coffey 's death has nothing to do with me.

I admit that I lied and returned to Los Angeles early, but that's all. "

Luke said, "Don't you think your words are contradictory.

If the deaths of Gary Coffey and Blanche Crook have nothing to do with you, then why did you lie?"

Buddy Crook's expression was a little complicated, and he said helplessly, "Some things are like this. As long as you make a mistake, you will keep making mistakes, and eventually this mistake will make you fall.

I know the relationship between the two of them, which is not glorious, so I can't tell the truth.

I swear, I didn't mean to lie to you. "

Luke asked, "According to your understanding, what is their relationship, tell me clearly. "

Buddy Crook rubbed his cheeks with his hands and sighed, "I know about my wife's affair with Gary Coffey."

"When did you know that?"

"It's been a while."

"Think carefully about the exact time."

“Come on, I’m not the one who cheated on you.

Why should I have to recall these things?

If the description is as clear as telling a story, then it is not cheating, but falling in love. "

“Don’t complain, man.

You lied, you went to the scene of the crime during the time of the crime, and you had a major motive for committing the crime. This is why. "

Buddy Crook slumped on the sofa feebly, "In other words, if I can't explain clearly, you will regard me as the murderer?"

Luke didn't answer, but the look on his face said it all.

Buddy Crook showed a wry smile and sighed, "I understand." After a while, he replied, "I discovered it three months ago. As for when they started stealing the sun.

I don't know either. "

"Did you know that Gary Coffey was at your house the night before yesterday?"

"have no idea.

I did go to Las Vegas on a business trip before, but I just happened to meet him when I came back. "

"So, the two of them took advantage of your business trip to have an affair?"

"Garyon Coffey is the chairman of the company and he knows my work plan and can even organize my work.

Therefore, not only can they take advantage of my business trip to have an affair; at the same time, if they want to have an affair, they can also send me on a business trip to other places. Buddy Crook sighed, "Isn't it sad?"

In fact, I figured it out only after the fact that he was really an insidious bastard. "

"You came back from a business trip and your wife didn't know?"

"According to the original plan, I will return to Los Angeles this morning.

It was just that my job changed midway, so I returned early.

I knew about the two of them, but I didn't expect them to meet at home.

What a disgusting bastard, the chairman of a large company actually refused to pay for the hotel. "

Luke said, "You know that your wife is cheating on you. Not only did you not stop her, but you also deliberately avoided them and even created opportunities for them to cheat on her.

Why? "

Buddy Crook touched his forehead with a strange expression on his face.

Xiao Hei joked, "Man, do you have any special hobbies? For example, cuckold plots."

"No, I am a normal man. It is a shame for me that my wife cheated on her, so I lied."

Xiao Hei asked, "So, you kill them."

"No, let me say it again, I did not kill anyone.

They don't deserve me either. "

"Since you are a normal man and you still think this is a shame, why do you acquiesce to them to maintain this relationship?"

Buddy Crook sighed, glanced around, and waved his hand, "What do you think of this vacation house?"

"It's very beautiful, I like it very much." Xiao Hei curled his thick lips, "But I guess I won't be able to afford it in my life with my income."

Buddy Crook smiled, “You have a good eye.

Just a few months ago, I had the same idea as you, that I could only live in a place like this in my dreams.

But two months ago, my dream came true.

My wife bought this vacation home.

Don't ask me where the money comes from, because I didn't ask her either. "

Xiao Hei opened his mouth wide, "Wow, I understand what you mean, but this is not a glorious thing."

"Yes, it's disgraceful, but it's happened. No matter what I do, my wife can't go back to the past...

Also, my wife and I both worked for Garion Coffey's company and we couldn't offend him, so I didn't have many options.

Either the fish will die or the net will be broken, or some 'pathetic' benefits will be obtained. "Buddy Crook spread out on the sofa and said a little feebly, "I also want to go to Galian Coffey's company to make a big fuss...

But what do I get?

He lost his job, his wife and children were separated, and he went to compete with homeless people on the street for territory...

This is not something a smart person should do. "

Jackson stood up and pointed to the gorgeous furniture in the living room, "So, this is your choice, first create an alibi for yourself, and then kill them, not only to get revenge, but also to get this vacation home."

"No, that's not true.

I just happened to be back in Los Angeles that day and I saw the two of them at my house and I didn't even go in and just left. "

Luke had been observing the other party and saw no signs of lying. "What time was it?"

"It's about seven o'clock in the evening."

"Where did you go after that?"

"Hilton Hotel on Keatley Street, I can't just wait outside stupidly. I will be laughed to death by the neighbors."

"What time did you arrive at the hotel?"

"I didn't check the time, but it's only a ten-minute drive from my home to the hotel.

This is also something I can't figure out. The hotel is obviously not far away, why should I go to my house?

These two bastards disrespected me so much.

If they had gone to the hotel that night, maybe they wouldn't have died. "

"When you came home, did you see any suspicious people or vehicles?"

Buddy Crook thought for a while and replied, "I don't know if it's suspicious or not, but there was a red Tesla parked across from my house. I'm sure it wasn't my neighbor's car. I've never seen it before. Saw it.”

Luke drew a key mark and asked, "What is the license plate number of the red Tesla?"

"I don't know, I was just angry."

The little gangster said, "What's the use of being angry? You should have broken in and beat that bastard hard. If it were me, I would definitely do that."

Buddy Crook said, "So you're not me.

You end up being arrested and taken to the police station.

And I stayed in my cozy vacation home. "

Luke didn't see any signs that the other party was lying, but through previous conversations, he was indeed the biggest beneficiary of the murder. "Can anyone prove what you said?"

"The front desk at Hilton Hotel is OK."

"She will only register you, but she won't keep an eye on you."

Buddy Crook thought for a moment and said, "There's also a lady with long blond hair."

"what is her name?"

"I forgot.

However, she was wearing a long blue dress that night and her ass was very perky, so she could prove that I had been in the hotel. ” Buddy Crook had a look on his face that you know.

Xiao Hei joked, "You two are doing your own thing. That's why you allowed your wife to cheat."

Buddy Crook spread his hands and said, "She cheated on her first, and I have no reason to wrong myself.

Moreover, I will bring other women to this vacation home for dates in the future.

I will definitely do this. "

Luke asked, "Can you still contact the blonde?"

“I can give you her cell phone number and she can prove I was at the hotel all night.

I'm innocent, I didn't kill anyone. "

Luke thought for a moment and said, "You think your business trip was deliberately arranged by Gary Coffey for the purpose of having an affair with your wife."

"I don't know if he arranged it, but as the chairman of the company, it couldn't be easier for him to know my work plan."

Luke asked back, "If that's the case, then he should know about your job change midway and your return to Los Angeles early.

Why did you catch me having an affair again? "

Buddy Crook shrugged, "I don't know, maybe he didn't pay attention to it.

After all, according to our original work plan, we did only return to Los Angeles this morning.

Only because a travel project meeting was temporarily canceled, I was arranged to return to Los Angeles early to take charge of other work. "

"Who arranged for you to return to Los Angeles early?"

"Dido Bruns, he's the president of Coffey Tours."

"Has he been responsible for similar work before?"

"No, I don't have much contact with him. He was rarely directly responsible for specific work arrangements before."

Luke took down Dido Bruns' name and asked, "Do you think he had something to do with the death of Garion Coffey?"

"I don't know, but he is personally responsible for this trip to Las Vegas. The itinerary, arrangements, meeting time, including the time for my return to Los Angeles, are all decided by him."

"If you uncovered your wife's affair with Garion Coffey, would it do him any good?"

Buddy Crook thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'm just an ordinary employee. I'm far different from their level."

"Where is Dido Bruns now?"

"New York."

"When did he go to New York? What did he do there?"

"He went to New York on a business trip yesterday. It was said that he was discussing a tourism project, but I don't know the specific situation."

"In other words, he went to New York on the day of the incident?"

"Yes."

I had been feeling unwell last year and had surgery at the end of the year.

I have been recovering from my illness some time ago, but now my body has recovered and is renewed.
