Los Angeles Detective

Three days later.

Otway Films.

In the early morning, the employees came earlier than usual to prepare for the documentary launch ceremony.

A temporary podium was set up downstairs in the film company. It was covered with a red carpet and decorated with bouquets of flowers. A poster of the Kofi Group was erected next to it.

Otway Stone wore a black suit and strode onto the podium. He looked around and looked at everything around him with critical eyes.

"Where did this red carpet come from? Why is it so old?"

"These flowers are too single in color. Let's get some flowers with different colors."

"Where's the microphone? Where's the microphone? Is there a sound check?

All procedures must be prepared, and the opening ceremony begins as soon as Mrs. Grace Coffey arrives. Otway Stone pointed not far away, "Are the reporters here?" After a while, call them all to the east and stop running around.

Where is Jessica? Why didn't I see her?

What? She took leave today.

fuck! Does she still want to do it?

Tell her not to come again. "

A white man about thirty years old ran over and said, "Director, Mrs. Coffey is here."

Otway Stone clapped his hands and said, "Everyone cheer up and check it one last time.

Let the guests and reporters attending the opening ceremony enter.

I went to greet Mrs. Coffey. "

Otway Stone walked toward the door, and only halfway there, he saw a fashionably dressed white woman walking in surrounded by people.

Otway Stone hurried up to greet her and said with a smile, "Mrs. Coffey, I'm glad you can attend today's opening ceremony."

"Of course I have to come to the opening ceremony of the Coffey family documentary." Mrs. Coffey looked around, "When will the opening ceremony start?"

"It will be ready soon. I will take you to the lounge to sit for a while."

"No need, get ready as soon as possible.

I have a very tight schedule today, and I will attend the board meeting of Coffey Group later. "

"I'll urge you again." After Otway Stone said that, he left in a hurry, and his shouts rang out in the yard again.

A few minutes later, reporters and guests attending the opening ceremony entered the venue, and the opening ceremony officially began.

Otway Stone walked up to the podium, took the microphone and said, "Dear ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the opening ceremony of the Coffey Family documentary.

This is an exciting and worthy moment to record, and it will be a great documentary with a chance to win Oscars..."

Otway Stone used exaggerated language to exaggerate, and then pointed to Mrs. Coffey in the audience, "Now let us invite Ms. Grace Coffey from the Coffey Group to come on stage."

Otway Stone walked to the podium himself and invited Mrs. Coffey to the podium.

Mrs. Coffey took the microphone and smiled slightly, "Thank you, Director Otway Stone.

I would also like to thank everyone for coming to the launch ceremony of the Coffey family documentary. On behalf of the Coffey family, I would like to thank everyone. Mrs. Coffey showed a hint of sadness, her eyes red, "I think everyone has heard about my husband."

I am very sad and miss him...

The reason why I asked director Otway Stone to shoot this documentary himself was to commemorate my husband..."

Mrs. Coffey’s touching speech attracted the attention of the guests in the audience.

This time, there was an old black man in a wheelchair in the west corner of the audience. His left hand was curled up unnaturally, and his right hand controlled the electric wheelchair as he slowly approached the podium.

Perhaps out of sympathy, people around him gave way to him.

When the wheelchair reached the front row of the podium, the old black man stood up, took out a black pistol from his waist, pointed it at Mrs. Coffey during the ring competition, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" A gunshot sounded, and the entire startup ceremony was in chaos.

"ah……"

"There's a gunman!"

"Protect Mrs. Coffey."

"help me."

"Get down!"

"lapd!"

The moment the old black man stood up to shoot, Xiao Hei rushed over from behind, grabbed his arm, and lifted it up.

The bullet flew over Mrs. Coffey's head, causing Mrs. Coffey to scream and tremble on the ground.

The old black man was also subdued by the police officers who rushed towards him.

"lapd, don't move."

"You're under arrest!"

Later, Luke also walked up to the podium and picked up the microphone from the ground, "Ladies and gentlemen, please don't panic, we have caught the gunman and everyone is safe.

Everyone, please stop running around and either stay where you are or leave here in an orderly manner.

The more panicked you are, the easier it is for you to get hurt.

I repeat, we have caught the gunman and we are safe here. "

Luke's comfort worked. The panicked crowd stopped and looked at the podium in unison. Several reporters quickly recognized Luke and knew that he was a famous police detective in Los Angeles. Instead of running away, they took Cameras and photographic equipment were pointed at him.

More police officers arrived at the scene, the situation was completely brought under control, and the old black man was also escorted into a police car.

Luke walked up to Mrs. Coffey and said, "Ma'am, I hope the gunfire just now didn't scare you."

“Oh my god, although I don’t want to admit it, I was really shocked, but now that I think about it, it’s quite exciting.

Thank you, Captain Li, for saving me. Mrs. Coffey looked grateful.

Luke said, "I will convey my thanks to you."

Mrs. Coffey asked back, "Captain Li, why are you here? Did you know someone was going to kill me?"

"No, we found a suspect when we were investigating your husband's murder.

I guessed he might sabotage the opening ceremony, but I didn't expect his target to be you." Even if Luke expected it, he wouldn't admit it.

"You mean, the old black man who shot me just now is the murderer of my husband."

"I wasn't sure before, but now it seems that it should be him."

"Why did he kill my husband? Why did he kill me? I don't even know him."

Luke pondered for a moment, "Strictly speaking, you and your husband did not offend him, but he has some grievances with your husband's father.

He thinks your husband's father killed his sister."

"Oh my God, is he crazy?

My husband's father has been dead for almost forty years. What kind of grievance can last so long?

Damn, what does this have to do with me?

When my husband's father died, I didn't even marry into the Coffey family.

Why did he take revenge on me?"

"Because he thinks you and your husband are slandering and vilifying his sister accomplice."

"I am even more confused." Mrs. Coffey shook her head, and said with lingering fear, "The scene just now scared me. I don't want something like this to happen again. Can you tell me where I offended him?"

"Yes, but before that, I also have a small question."

"Ask it."

"Why did Dido Bruns, the president of Coffey Travel Company, suddenly go to New York?"

"I don't know either. I just took over the Coffey Group and many things have not been sorted out.

However, I think it should be because of work reasons."

"I thought he was avoiding the police's questioning."

Mrs. Coffey's eyes flickered and she lowered her head, "I don't understand what you mean."

Luke continued to persuade, "We have caught the murderer who killed your husband. There is no need for you to hide it anymore."

Mrs. Coffey still did not respond.

Luke continued, "Buddy Crook's business trip ended early, and when he returned home, he happened to catch your husband and his wife having an affair.

However, he did not break into the house, but gave the room to them and went to the hotel."

Mrs. Coffey finally couldn't help it and cursed, "Damn coward!

He is not a man at all.

No wonder his wife is messing around."

Luke asked again, "Madam, can you tell me about Dido Bruns?"

Mrs. Coffey took a deep breath, "You guessed right.

I found out that my husband and his secretary were having an affair, and I also found out that the secretary's husband worked at Coffey Travel Company.

So, I asked Dido Bruns, the president of Coffey Travel Company, to help Buddy Crook end his business trip early.

My original intention was to let him catch his wife and my husband having an affair and make a big fuss.

This way , my husband can separate from the secretary.

I can also vent my anger.

Who knows...

The next day I heard the news that my husband was killed.

I was terrified, I thought..." Mrs. Coffey stroked her forehead with her hand, "Although I hate my husband's cheating, I still have feelings for him.

I never thought of killing him, even if it was unintentional and indirect.

Now I hear that you have caught the real murderer, I am relieved.

Can you tell me why this murderer wants to kill me too?

I can't think of how I offended him. "

Luke reminded, "The documentary of the Coffey family."

Mrs. Coffey is a smart person. She has also read the script of the documentary and guessed, "The black female secretary of my husband's father?"

"Yes, that's the gunman's sister." Luke briefly introduced the identity of the gunman and his sister's experience.

Mrs. Coffey sighed, "I'm sorry, I don't know the inside story. The script was also finalized by my husband.

If I knew what happened to that poor woman, I would definitely not discredit her in the script."

Luke didn't respond. If he hadn't just been shot, he didn't believe that the other party would be so easy to talk to.

...

After calming down the riot at the film company, Luke returned to the detective bureau.

In the interrogation room of the robbery and murder division.

Luke walked into the interrogation room with a stack of information. On the interrogation chair opposite him sat the old black man Michael Kamara who fired the gun.

Luke looked at the other party, "Mr. Michael Kamara, strictly speaking, this is not the first time we have met."

The little black man on the side teased, "Your acting skills are very good, you almost fooled us, but unfortunately, your shooting skills are a bit poor."

Michael Kamara looked up at the little black man, "If you hadn't suddenly rushed out, I would have shot her."

Luke asked, "Why did you shoot Mrs. Coffey?"

"Since you can catch me, you should know why, so why waste your words."

"I am a policeman, and I cannot convict people based on my own speculation and subjective consciousness.

So, it is better for you to explain the reason yourself."

Michael Kamara shook his head, "I have nothing to say.

Didn't you all see it?"

Luke expected that the other party was unwilling to cooperate, "What do you think about the documentary about the Coffey family?"

Michael Kamara glared at Luke and still did not answer.

Luke said, "If you are willing to cooperate with the police investigation, I will also try to persuade Mrs. Coffey not to shoot the documentary about the Coffey family."

Michael Kamara asked, "Will she listen to you?"

"I have my own way."

"How do I know if you are lying to me?"

Luke spread his hands, "What's the benefit of lying to you/

Even if you don't cooperate with the investigation, everyone at the opening ceremony saw you shooting, and if I'm not mistaken, that gun should be the one that killed Garian Coffey and his secretary.

At the same time, your fingerprints were left at the crime scene, so it's not difficult to convict you."

Michael Kamara sighed, "You are right, I also killed Garian Coffey and his secretary."

"Why Why kill them?"

"You should have known what happened to my sister.

I will never forget her lonely death and cold body.

Now forty years have passed, and the Coffey family still refuses to let her go, and is still slandering and vilifying her.

I can't accept this.

I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I will not be able to face her after I die.

She is like my mother. If someone insults your mother like this, what will you do?" Michael Kamara sneered, "This father and son are exactly the same. When I saw Gary Coffey go to the secretary's house to mess around.

I knew that I was right to kill him, and he did not die unjustly. "

"What's wrong with your illness?"

"Three years ago, I did have a cerebral thrombosis, and it was very serious at the beginning.

My wife has been patiently taking care of me, helping me with rehabilitation every day and letting me exercise in the yard. She has not missed a single day in the past three years.

Under my wife's care, I can now walk. Although I am not very flexible, I can still pull the trigger. "

"Did Jessica tell you about the documentary about the Coffey family?"

"We just mentioned it accidentally during dinner. She didn't know I was going to kill someone. I was always trying to get her to talk.

I deliberately sent her away for the opening ceremony today. I did everything by myself. "

"What about the murder of Burnett Coffey thirty-nine years ago?"

"It has nothing to do with me."

"What about the Silver Cross case?"

Michael Kamara frowned slightly, "I don't know what you are talking about?"

"Do you know Wang Shaokang?"

Michael Kamara crossed his arms and bowed his head, "No."

"You want to protect him?"

Michael Kamara slowly raised his head, with a firm look in his eyes, "Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about, and I don't know any Wang Shaokang.

I admit that I killed Garian Coffey and his secretary. Isn't that enough?"

Luke continued, "We found your fingerprints at the scene of the Silver Cross case."

"So what? Even if there are my fingerprints, it can only prove that I have been there, not that I am the murderer.

Besides, it has been so long since the incident, I have long forgotten it."

Luke looked at the other party for a long time, stood up and said, "OK, let's talk about this today."
