Los Angeles Detective

March 7, morning.

Robbery and Murder Division, Squadron One Office.

Everyone raised their heads and watched the TV overhead.

The news about the robbery of Rebecca Moser was playing on the television.

Because Rebecca Moser is a public figure, the impact of this case is already relatively large. When the police arrested Rebecca Moser’s agent Wendel Duma, it even attracted media and There is a lot of speculation and discussion among the public.

The vice team complained, "Why do I feel like all the TV stations are reporting this news?"

Jenny laughed and said, "The people involved in the previous cases were strangers to the people, but the victims in this case are celebrities they are familiar with. Many people I know are talking about this case."

Xiao Hei joked, "Including my mother and wife, they have been asking me about the case since dinner yesterday.

They were all a little unbelievable when they heard that Wendell Duma had ordered someone to rob Rebecca Moser. "

The deputy said, "I think this is normal. Wendell Duma's purpose is to use the robbery to make Rebecca Moser a news topic. Judging from the current results, he has indeed succeeded. .

Rebecca Moser's popularity and attention are on the rise again.

There are so many messy things in the entertainment industry, this is nothing. "

Matthew asked, "Since Wendel Duma instigated the robbery by the suspect Kabine Bess, why did he kill Kabine Bess?"

The deputy replied, “The reason is simple.

Wendell Duma just made headlines by letting Kabine Bess rob Rebecca Moser.

But Kabine Bess not only robbed Rebecca Moser, she also raped Rebecca.

This shows that Kabine Bess has lost control. Whether it is out of anger or for his own safety, Wendel Duma has reason to kill Kabine Bess.

As long as Kabine Bes is alive, he may threaten Wendel Duma with this matter.

This is a ticking time bomb.

If it were me, I would also choose to kill him. "

"Hey guys, I suddenly saw a piece of breaking news on the police intranet!" Matthew's voice suddenly sounded.

Xiao Hei joked, "Has the city government decided to give us a salary increase?"

"No, Director Coleman was transferred.

Chief Reed succeeded him and became the Acting Chief of the Detective Bureau! "

After hearing the news, everyone gathered around.

The deputy team leader was surprised, "Red has been promoted again!"

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "That's good news. Director Red will have to buy us a drink tonight."

Jackson said, "Director Reid also served as the director of the Robbery and Murder Department before. Now that he has become the director, will he no longer be in charge of the Robbery and Murder Department?"

The deputy team leader hummed, "No wonder Deputy Director Magna Met has been so active these days. She must have known the news for a long time."

Luke wasn't too surprised, because he had heard Rhett talk about it last year.

March 15th.

Reed held his first media meeting in the Detective Bureau, attended by Los Angeles Bureau Deputy Chief Vinok Reno, Bureau Chief Public Information Superintendent Gilvy Erso and other police department executives.

After Reid was promoted from deputy director to director, some positions within the Detective Bureau were also changed.

Gennady Morris, chief of the Economic Crimes Division, has been promoted to deputy chief of the Detective Bureau.

Magna Met, formerly deputy chief of the Robbery and Murder Division, was promoted to chief of the Robbery and Murder Division.

…

March 25th.

Outside the office of the Chief of the Robbery and Murder Division.

"Dong dong..." Luke knocked on the office door.

"Come in."

Luke pushed the door open and walked in. He saw a white woman in her forties sitting behind the desk. She was of medium height, thin and had a serious face.

"Director Matt."

"Captain Li is here, please take a seat." Magna Met stood up with a smile on her cheeks, "What would you like to drink? How about a cup of coffee?"

"Okay." Luke nodded.

Although both of them worked in the Robbery and Murder Division, Magna Met was mainly responsible for the work of the 3rd Squadron and the 4th Squadron, so the two did not have much direct contact.

Magna Met poured two cups of coffee, handed one to Luke, and said, "Previously, Director Red was personally responsible for the work of the 1st and 2nd Squadrons, but now I am taking over the work of the Robbery and Murder Department. , the general direction will not change.

If you have any ideas, you can communicate with me in time. "

"I will."

Previously, after Red was promoted to director, he had a special talk with Luke. Luke was mentally prepared for the general arrangements of the Robbery and Murder Department.

Seeing Luke's indifferent reaction, Magna Met also felt a little bored. Red was no longer in charge of the Robbery and Murder Division, but instead of being transferred, he was promoted to the director of the Detective Bureau and worked in the Robbery and Murder Department. The company's influence remains.

Magna Met put down her coffee cup, changed the subject, and said, "I called you here today because I encountered a difficult case.

The First Squadron has the highest crime detection rate in the entire Robbery and Murder Division, so I want to hand this case over to your First Squadron. "

"What case?"

“Yesterday morning, a police officer named Ossie Perkins was involved in a car accident and died before being sent to the hospital.

Afterwards, the police inspected the car and found that someone had tampered with the gearbox and brakes.

The accident was most likely not an accident but murder. "

Luke asked, "Which department is responsible for this case now?"

"Southern Branch."

"Were the officers who were killed also from the Southern Division?"

"It's a patrol officer from the Southern Division." Magna Met took out a business card and handed it to Luke, "The specific person in charge of the case is Superintendent Manu Murillo from the Southern Division. You can contact him. "

"I understand, I will take people to investigate."

…

Half an hour later, Luke led people to the southern branch.

Luke got out of the car and saw a Mexican man in police uniform walking towards him.

"You are Captain Li of the Robbery and Murder Department. I've seen you on TV."

Luke had just spoken to the other party on the phone and recognized the other party's voice, "Hello, Superintendent Manu Murillo."

"To be honest, it's not great. We just lost one of our best officers."

Luke sighed, "I'm sorry about this, too.

We will do our best to investigate the circumstances surrounding the murder of Officer Ossie Perkins. "

"Thank you. I know you are the best at investigating cases. If you need any assistance, just ask."

"I now want to know as much as possible about the murder of Ossie Perkins."

"No problem, let's go to the conference room to talk."

Manu Murillo took Luke and others to the conference room on the second floor, where two young police officers served coffee to Luke and others.

Manu Murillo took out a piece of information and put it on the projector and said, "Osi is an excellent patrol officer, serious, responsible, and has a sense of justice, and he gets along well with his colleagues.

Yesterday morning, I suddenly received news that he was involved in a car accident on Highway 105. He was seriously injured and died on the way to the hospital.

Later, I led people to the scene. "Manu Murillo played some photos on the projector, "These are the photos taken at the scene.

The entire car was turned over, the chassis of the car was facing upwards, and the glass was shattered.

According to eyewitness accounts, the car was traveling very fast, in excess of 100 miles per hour.

There was a traffic jam on the road ahead and the car could not pass, but Ossie still did not slow down and drove the car off the road and hit a nearby rock, causing the car to roll over.

After the collision, the car's wheels were still spinning at high speed.

This phenomenon was very abnormal. We then transported the car back to the police station for detailed inspection.

It was found that the car's gearbox and brakes had been tampered with.

It wasn't that Ossie didn't slow down on purpose, but the car was out of control and he couldn't slow down at all.

This is murder. "

"Did he have a day off yesterday?"

"Yes."

"His girlfriend came back from out of town, and he drove to Los Angeles International Airport to pick her up."

"He was the only one in the car at the time?"

"Yes."

"Is he driving his own car?"

"He bought it last year, a silver-gray Lexus. It's very beautiful."

"Is there anything unusual about Ossie Perkins lately?"

"Not that I know of."

Luke said, "I want to talk to his partner."

"sure.

I'll tell him to come in. "Manu Murillo walked out of the conference room, and not long after, he walked in with a Mexican man in his twenties.

Manu Murillo introduced, “His name is Tex Werner, he is Osi’s partner.

This is Captain Li, who is now responsible for investigating Ossie's car accident. "

"Captain Li, hello."

"Hello." Luke looked at the other person and asked, "How long have you been partnered with Ossie Perkins?"

"Almost a year."

"What do you think of him?"

"He is a good person, very responsible, serious about his work, and sincere to others. However, he is sometimes a little short-tempered."

"What do you think about his car accident?"

Tex Werner licked his lips, "Ossie's car was tampered with. It was obviously a murder."

"Has there been anything unusual about Ossie Perkins recently?"

Tex Werner thought for a while and shook his head, "I didn't see it. We rarely talk about private matters."

"Do you have any suspicions about Ossie Perkins' car accident?"

Tex Werner took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I have a suspicion.

His name is Mario Brana, and he was arrested by Ossie and me some time ago for stealing a car.

That kid said harsh words at that time, and when he comes out, he will definitely seek revenge on us. "

Luke asked, "What about Mario Branagh's car-stealing skills?"

This car accident sounds simple to say, but it is very difficult to operate. If Ossie Perkins had discovered the abnormality in advance and the speed of the car was not fast, it was entirely possible to escape.

Only if the car loses control while the car is traveling at high speed will the driver die.

Tex Werner said, "He used to work in a car repair shop. He not only stole cars but also repaired them. He was very famous in that area."

Luke raised his eyebrows. This man fit the suspect's characteristics very well and continued to ask, "Where is Mario Branagh now?"

Manu Murillo replied, "I know that. He was released on bail three days ago."
