Los Angeles Detective

Luke looked at Bowen Kano. He was half a head shorter than Luke, he should not be 180cm tall, and he was less than forty years old.

Does not match the suspect's footprint characteristics.

Since Bowen Kano is not a suspect, his words are likely to be true.

Badman Pall was Riley Harry's driver.

If Badman Pall really hired him to attack Riley Harry's house.

What is the motivation?

Was it Badman Pall's own decision, or was it Riley Harry's instigation?

Luke is more inclined to the latter. It is difficult for a driver to come up with 200,000 US dollars in cash at once.

If Riley Harry is the mastermind behind the scenes, what is her real purpose?

Why do people shoot their own homes?

Is it related to this murder case?

Riley Harry is dead, and the only way to find out is to find the black driver, Badman Pall.

David let Bowen Kano go, "Go back to the police station?"

Luke looked at his watch, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, "I'm hungry."

David had an expression I knew, "How about a hamburger on the way?"

This sentence reminded Luke of a sentence that his colleagues often said when he worked overtime in his previous life, do you want a bucket? "

"No."

Luke said no, but there are really very few types of lunch in the United States, and there are only a few back and forth.

In the end, I chose a braised restaurant.

The two found a seat by the window and sat down. A curvaceous Caucasian waitress came over, "What do you want to eat?"

Luke glanced at it, and thought it was pretty at first glance, and it looked familiar, "Alyssa."

The waitress in front of her is the female victim of the "Taser Robbery" and the goddess that lawyer Dave longs for.

The waitress took a step back, a little surprised, "Officer Luke, why are you here?"

"You work here?"

"Yes."

David said, "We happened to be passing by, so we can have something to eat, is there anything faster?"

"The risotto is quicker, and it's the main dish in the store. It tastes good."

Luke glanced at the menu, "Two seafood risottos, one spicy grilled pork chop, thank you."

"Come right away." Alisa went to the kitchen and said, and then came over with two glasses of Coke,

"I asked for this."

Alisa didn't say much, nodded, and turned to leave.

Luke stopped her, "Can we talk?"

Alisa stopped, "Is it related to that case?"

"No, it's Dave who has something to say to you, and he wants me to help convey it. I know you don't want to bring up that matter, and I haven't contacted you on my own initiative.

If you want to know, I will tell you.

It's okay if you don't want to. "

Alisa said without hesitation, "I don't want to have anything to do with him, and I'm trying to let go of my resentment.

I believe in the law and he will be punished as he should.

My life is easier without Steven, without Dave.

So be it. "

Luke raised his glass, "I respect your choice."

"Thanks."

Luke also fulfilled his promise to Dave.

Knowing that Alisa has changed to a new job, it is estimated that he can also give up his plan to escape from prison.

It's even more terrifying for a smart person to go into a dead end.

After filling their stomachs, the two were ready to return to the police station.

Luke's cell phone rang, "Ding jingling..."

"Hello."

Xiao Hei's voice came from the phone, "Hey, I heard you are looking for Badman Pall?"

"Have you found out his whereabouts?"

"Is there anyone I can't find?" Marcus chuckled.

Luke can think of his smug look through the phone.

...

Burner Motel.

A black Dodge was parked on the side of the road, and Luke lowered the window.

Xiao Hei came over, put his hand on the car window and said, "My informant has inquired about Badman Pall.

At noon the day before yesterday, he rented a room here. "

"Where do you get so many informants?" Luke was a little envious.

"As long as you live in a slum since childhood, you can meet a lot of bad people, and those bad people will grow up to become the backbone of the gang.

Your network of relationships can be expanded.

Of course, the premise is that you can also grow up alive. Xiao Hei shrugged, "Do you also want to know more of these informants?" "

"I don't want to take your job."

The three rushed to the front desk of the motel.

The person in charge of the front desk reception was a black aunt. Xiao Hei showed his police badge, said a few compliments, and managed to win the trust of the black aunt by playing hard and soft.

The black aunt led the three of them to Badman Pall's hotel room, "Bang bang."

The black aunt is very strong, for fear that the people inside won't hear it.

"Who's outside?" A woman's voice came from inside the room.

The black aunt said in her characteristic hoarse voice, "Room service."

"I didn't order room service."

"Your room has expired and you need to pay."

"I paid for the room for three days, and today is the second day."

"You remember wrongly, you only paid in cash for two days."

"Bichi, do you think I'm easy to bully? Don't think you can pay in cash..." The door of the guest room opened, and a black woman in her thirties came out cursing.

When she saw Luke and others, she was startled and immediately closed the door.

"Bang!" David grabbed the door and pulled it open forcefully.

Luke held guns in both hands, "lapd." Controlled the black woman.

David and Xiao Hei entered the hotel one after the other to search.

"Safety."

"Safety."

The hotel is not big, there are beds and sofas in the living room, and there is a separate bathroom next to it.

A little boy shrank on the sofa with a pitiful look.

"Fuck! What are you doing! Put away your broken guns, don't scare my son." The black woman yelled loudly.

Luke glanced at the little black boy, put away his pistol, "Where's Badman Pall?"

"I have no idea."

"What is your relationship with Badman Pall?"

"He's my husband. He hasn't been home for two days. I'm looking for him too."

"May I have your name?"

"Laura Pall."

Luke gestured for her to sit on the couch, "Laura, can I trust you?"

"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you." Laura hugged her son in her arms.

Luke comforted the little boy, "We are not bad people, we just want to ask your mother a few questions, don't be afraid."

The little boy choked with tears and said, "Are you here to arrest my father?"

"No, your father is in trouble, we are here to help him."

"Can you help me find my father?"

"We'll do our best."

Marcus greeted the little boy, "Hey, boy, let's go out and talk."

The little boy glanced at his mother.

Mother nodded, "Go."

After Marcus led the little boy out, Luke cut to the chase, "What did Badman Pall do?"

Laura Pall shook her head, "I don't know, he never said that."

"Then why didn't you stay at home, but ran to this motel?"

"Badman said he was going to do an important thing and there might be some danger, so he arranged us in a motel. He also said that he would contact us later, but he never came back or called. I was worried to death. .” Laura Pall sobbed softly.

"Do you know what Badman Pall does?"

"Yes, he's driving Senator Riley Harry."

"The driver's job is to drive. Don't you find it strange that he suddenly said he was going to do something dangerous?"

"My husband is not only Ms. Riley Harry's driver, but also her assistant.

Ms. Riley Harry is unusual. She is not an ordinary person. She has many potential political enemies. My husband has been secretly protecting her.

Those things should not be known to outsiders, and I have been silently supporting him.

So I seldom ask him about his work, and it's the same this time.

But I didn't expect... He never came back, I was worried to death. "

Luke asked, "Since your husband has been missing for two days, why didn't you call the police?"

"I was terrified and I didn't know who to turn to or whom to trust. Why did you come to my husband? Did something happen to him?"

"Ms. Riley Harry is dead. Your husband was her driver. We would like to know something from your husband."

"What? You said Ms. Riley is dead. Damn...how could such a terrible thing happen."

"You don't know about it?"

"No, I haven't contacted the outside world since I came to the motel. I don't know anything about Ms. Riley Harry at all. Will my husband be in danger? Do you have any news about him?"

Luke secretly thought, will we come here if we have news?

"After all, you are a husband and wife. You don't know anything about Badman Pall? Or what difficulties did he encounter and who did he offend?"

Laura Pall thought for a while, "Some time ago, a group of people came to my house and took my husband away.

When my husband came back, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. I was terrified.

Ask him what happened, he refuses to say, tell him to call the police, he will not go either.

He also told me to leave it alone.

He was so tough at the time, and it made me feel that something was wrong. "

"What impression do you have of that group?"

"I secretly took a photo through the window." Laura Pall took out her mobile phone, rummaged through it, and handed it to Luke.

In the first photo, Badman Pall just walked out of the house, surrounded by several men with unfriendly expressions.

In the second photo, Badman Pall was brought into a car, but looked to the right side of the car.

In the third photo, there is another car on the right side of that car. Leaning on the car is a white man in a suit with a cigarette in his mouth, as if standing aside to watch the excitement.

Luke locked his eyes on this man, he had seen it before.

It was Maguire Harry, the younger brother of the deceased woman.

This surprised Luke a little.

The two actually had a relationship in private?

Think of Badman Pall hiring gunmen to attack the deceased's home.

At that time, Luke felt that Badman Pall was probably just a liaison, because he couldn't afford the 200,000 employment fee at all.

And the real employer is probably the deceased Riley Harry.

But now it is found that Badman Pall has a connection with the deceased's brother Maguire Harry.

Then the mastermind behind the hired gunmen attacking the deceased's house, could it be Maguire Harry?

He totally has the funds.

If Maguire Harry did it, what was his motive?

Could Riley Harry's death have anything to do with him?
