Los Angeles Detective

Savia Automobile Dealers.

This car dealership is located in the southern suburbs of Los Angeles, where Marico Marquez works. According to Marico Marquez’s description, he had a conflict with his colleagues at the car dealership not long ago.

Two black cars drove into Savia's car dealership. Luke got out of the car and observed the environment of the car dealership. The car dealership was divided into two yards, the front and rear. There were some second-hand cars in good condition placed in the front yard. Most likely for sale.

A tall Latina woman wearing flesh-colored stockings came over and greeted with a smile, "Sir, do you want to repair your car or buy a car?"

Luke asked, "Beauty, can you fix cars?"

“No, I don’t know how to repair cars, I’m only responsible for sales.

If you want to repair your car, I can take you to the backyard, where there are the most professional car repairmen. "

Luke said, "We don't need to fix the car."

The Latin woman smiled, "My name is Alana. I can help you introduce what type of car you want to buy."

"Sorry, we're not here to buy a car." Xiao Hei showed his police badge and said, "lapd."

Alana frowned slightly, "Sir, what can you do?"

Luke asked, "Are you Alanna Juarez?"

"It's me." Alanna Juarez was a little confused, "How do you know my last name?"

"We want to find out something from you."

"what's the situation?"

"Do you know Marico Marquez?"

Alanna Juarez pursed her lips, “Yes, he is a colleague of our car dealership.

But he didn't come to work today. If you want to find him, it's best to call him directly. "

"We have met Marico Marquez and now we want to talk to you."

"What are you talking to me about? What are you going to do?"

"As far as I know, you have some conflicts with Mr. Marico Marquez."

Alanna Juarez was stunned for a moment and sneered, "Contradiction? Is that what he said?

If that's the case, I don't think there's anything left to talk about. "

"Hey, who are you? Why are you stopping my girlfriend?" A strong white man in blue work clothes strode over, wiping his oily hands.

"Kebby, I didn't agree to be your girlfriend." Alanna Juarez crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

“Honey, everyone in the dealership knows it, it’s just a matter of time.

Sooner or later you will be my woman. "The strong white man stood in front of Alanna Juarez and said to Luke and others, "I heard that someone is looking for trouble, is that you? "

Xiao Hei showed his police badge, "lapd. Are you Kebi Hawkins?"

"it's me.

If you have anything to say, just tell me.

Alana's business is my business. "

Luke asked, "Do you know Marico Marquez?"

"I really hope I don't know that bastard. Are you here because of him?"

"Do you know something happened to his family?"

"Yes, he asked for leave from his boss a few days ago, saying that his wife had a car accident.

But what does this have to do with us? "

“According to our investigation, his wife’s car may have been tampered with, causing the brakes to fail and the car to lose control.

And you had a conflict with Marico Marquez and threatened to take revenge on him. "

Cappy Hawkins shrugged, "I...that was drunken talk."

"So, you admitted to saying something like that?"

"Listen, I do have some issues with Marico Marquez, but that has nothing to do with his wife, and I won't hurt his wife."

"What's the problem between you and Marico Marquez?"

Kebi Hawkins glanced at Alanna Juarez next to her, looking like she was hesitant to speak.

"I'm going crazy," Alanna Juarez complained, turned and left.

Kebi Hawkins then said, “I like Alana and have been pursuing her.

The two of us got along very well before, but since Marico Marquez came to the dealership, everything has changed.

Marico Marquez is a playboy through and through. He is very good at coaxing girls. Although he is married, he has always claimed that his relationship with his wife is not good. He used this reason to get close to Alana and win her heart...

This disgusting behavior is why I hate him. "

Kebi Hawkins paused and continued, "I know what you are thinking, I hate Marico Marquez, but I didn't tamper with the car, and I had no reason to hurt his wife.

If his wife was really dead, he would still come to harass Alanna, he definitely would.

So, it doesn't do me any good to do that. "

Luke stared at the other person and saw no obvious signs of lying.

Judging from what we know now, there is a love triangle between Marico Marquez, Alanna Juarez, and Kebbi Hawkins. Kebbi Hawkins is a car mechanic and has skills, but now It seems that his motive for committing the crime was insufficient.

Alanna Juarez may have had a motive, but she didn't have the car repair skills.

Luke asked, "As far as you know, is there anyone in the car repair industry who has conflicts with Marico Marquez?"

"Of course, why don't you ask Marico Marquez." After Kaby Hawkins finished speaking, he laughed, "By the way, even if you didn't ask, he probably wouldn't tell."

Xiao Hei asked, "Is there any story here? I like to listen to stories the most."

Cappy Hawkins said with a serious face, “Marico Marquez is a playboy.

You may think I have a problem with him because of Alanna.

Not just that.

Because he was harassing Alanna, I asked a friend about him.

This guy has a bad reputation in the car dealership. The reason why he came to our car dealership was because he was fired from his previous car dealership.

As for the reason for his resignation, he hooked up with the girlfriend of the car dealership owner. "

Xiao Hei asked curiously, "Does his wife know about this?"

"Haha..." Kebi Hawkins smiled, with a strange smile, "He didn't have a wife at that time."

Luke guessed, "Marico Marquez's wife is the girlfriend of the former car dealership owner?"

"That's right.

Marico Marquez is a bastard who likes to hook up with other people's girlfriends. I'm not surprised at all that such a person is being retaliated against. "

Luke asked, "Do you know where Marico Marquez used to work?"

"Klein Automobile Dealers."

"Do you know the owner of that car dealership?"

"I don't know him. I heard that the boss went to jail for drunk driving not long after his girlfriend abandoned him."

"Is the owner of Klein's car dealership out of jail?"

"I have no idea."

Luke shook hands with the other party and said, "Thank you for the clues."

"You're welcome. I'm also happy to let more people know the true face of that bastard Marico Marquez."

After Luke asked a few more questions, he led the people out of Savia's car dealership.

…

O'Byrne Hospital.

In ward 402.

Grace Dole was lying alone on the hospital bed. Her mother had left at some point.

"Dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

Luke and Xiao Hei pushed open the door and walked into the ward.

Grace Dole asked, "Captain Li, have you found out who wants to harm me?"

"We have found some clues and want to verify some information with you."

Grace Dole looked nervous, "My husband..."

"What I'm asking isn't about your husband."

Grace Dole breathed a sigh of relief, "I just said, the car accident must have nothing to do with him."

Luke sat next to the hospital bed and asked, "How did you and Marico Marquez meet?"

Grace Dole thought for a while, "By a very chance..."

“Have you ever heard of Klein Automobile Dealers?”

Grace Dole's face changed slightly, "Yes, my husband used to work in that car dealership."

Luke asked, "Do you know the owner of that car dealership?"

Grace Dole pursed her lips and whispered, "Yes, he... is my ex-boyfriend."

"What's his name?"

"Williams Crane."

Luke continued, "Can you tell me about the relationship between the three of you?"

Grace Dole sighed, “I…

I'm sorry Williams Crane.

He's been very nice to me, we've been dating for three years, and we're even considering getting married.

One day I went to find him at Klein Automobile Dealership, and he was discussing business with a client. That was when I met Marico.

He is handsome, humorous, and very considerate to me. More importantly, we share the same hobbies and lifestyle.

After meeting him, I gained a new understanding of love.

I fell hopelessly in love with him. The feeling was so sincere. If I missed it, there would be no next time.

So, I left Williams and stayed with Marico.

I never regret this choice. "

Luke asked, "Where is Williams Crane now?"

"I heard from a friend...

Not long after we broke up, he got arrested for drunk driving and went to jail, and I haven't seen him since. "After Grace Dole finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Why did you mention Williams? "

Luke asked, "Do you think the car accident might have something to do with him?"

Grace Dole was stunned and silent for a long time, "I don't know."

After asking, Luke immediately went to the hospital.

On the way back to the police station, Luke contacted Matthew and asked him to investigate information about Williams Klein and the police officers who arrested him.

…

Half an hour later.

Office of the 1st Squadron, Robbery and Murder Division.

Luke entered the office, poured a glass of warm water, moistened his throat, and asked, "Matthew, have you found the information about Williams Klein?"

Matthew looked at the computer screen and read, “On the night of July 3, 2022, Williams Klein drove drunk and collided with a black Toyota.

The police officer who arrested him was Ossie Perkins, the victim of another car accident. "

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "That's right, Williams Klein was abandoned by his girlfriend Grace Dole, and her girlfriend ran away with her employees.

Williams Crane used alcohol to drown his sorrows and got into a car accident, and was later arrested by police officer Ossie Perkins.

Williams Cline is now out of prison.

He felt resentful that Ossie Perkins and Grace Dole had put him in prison and took revenge on them. "

Luke nodded and thought this analysis made sense, and asked, "Is Williams Klein out of prison now?"

Matthew shrugged, "Theoretically, his sentence has expired."

Xiao Hei frowned, "What is theory? What is reality?"

Matthew said, “He died last year, in prison.

And a dead person cannot kill anyone. "
