MTL - Los Angeles Detective-Chapter 485 ten years

  Chapter 485 Ten Years

  After the two finished talking, Luke glanced at his watch. It was already ten o'clock in the morning, "Deputy team, go to the rest meeting, I'll be watching at the scene."

   Being tortured by the kidnappers all night, let alone an old man, a young man like Luke is tired.

  The deputy captain waved his hand, "As you get older, you can only sleep for a few hours at night, but you can't sleep at all during the day.

take a break. "

   "OK, I'll leave the scene to you." Luke was not polite.

   Vice team "..."

I…

  Luke greeted everyone and returned to the police office to catch up on sleep.

   This is also his experience in the police force for many years. If he has time to sleep between handling cases, he should sleep quickly. If he is really busy, he may not even have time to eat.

  There is a deputy team on site, so he is very relieved.

  Luke slept until past one in the afternoon.

  After waking up, I washed my face and ate a hamburger.

  At two o'clock in the afternoon, Luke held a cup of coffee and called everyone for a meeting.

   "Everyone, thank you for your hard work, let me tell you about the new progress of the case."

  Jackson held a sketch and put it in front of Luke, "Captain, what do you think?"

  This is a sketch portrait of a white middle-aged man, Luke nodded, "Not bad, is this a sketch portrait of Tom the Kidnapper?"

  The deputy team replied, "That's right, we let the people from Carter's Cleaning Company identify the cleaning service he went to make an appointment with, so we can be sure that Jim is not lying.

   Once the sketch was done, I let Jim go. "

  Luke can also complete the criminal investigation sketch portrait, but usually he will do it himself when the case is urgent. This time Reid provided sufficient logistical support and directly sent a criminal investigation sketcher.

   Luke also saves trouble, he is not a person who likes to take work on himself.

   Luke asked, "Didn't find a picture of Tom?"

  The deputy team shook his head, "Not yet."

   "What's the situation in the house where the kidnapper is?"

   “We contacted the owner, who was not in Los Angeles at this time and did not rent out the house.

  The gang of kidnappers should have occupied the house temporarily.

  In addition, I also sent people to visit neighbors in the community.

  The group lived in seclusion, and the neighbors around them didn't even notice that there were illegal intruders in the community. "

  Luke took a sip of coffee, "It seems that these guys are quite careful."

  Jackson echoed, "Really careful.

  Actually, the cleaning company installed a surveillance camera, but Tom was wearing a hat when he went there, and kept his back to the camera, so he couldn’t see his face clearly. "

  Luke asked, "Did the community surveillance capture suspicious vehicles entering and leaving?"

  Jenny spread her hands, "This community is quite chaotic. Community surveillance cameras are often damaged, and they are still under repair."

  Luke drank the coffee in the cup in one breath, "Can anyone tell me some good news?"

  "The young man is a little patient, I'm about to say something." The deputy team smiled, "The technical team collected some biological samples and household garbage in the house.

   Among them, a set of fingerprints did not match the fingerprints of the owner. It is likely to be the fingerprints of the suspect, but the identity has not yet been identified.

  In addition, some biological samples were also extracted from domestic garbage, and the technical team is already testing them. "

   "This is good news, I hope we can find out the identity of the kidnapper." Luke made a note in his notebook and glanced around, "Where's Marcus? Why didn't you see him?"

   Everyone looked at the deputy team.

  The latter said, "At ten o'clock this morning, the kidnapper called Jim.

  Ask Jim if he has received the gold, and ask Jim to pay $6 million in cash as agreed.

   Trading time is March 17th.

  Jim agreed.

  I was worried that the kidnapper might contact Jim again, so I asked Xiao Hei to assist Jim and act as a contact person. "

  Luke raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure he can complete this task?"

   "Jim is black, and Marcus will not be suspected by his side. Moreover, Marcus grew up in a slum area, and his ability to adapt to changes is very strong, no worse than anyone present."

  The deputy team was full of confidence, "Trust me, he will successfully complete the task."

  Although Luke was still a little worried, Marcus had already gone to perform the mission, and he couldn't refute the deputy team's opinion, so he changed the subject, "That is to say, on March 17, we have a chance to catch all the kidnappers."

  The deputy team said, "As long as there is no trouble with Jim, it should be fine.

  The gang of kidnappers cannot give up six million dollars, this is their ultimate goal..."

"Jingle Bell…"

  Luke's cell phone rang. He glanced at the phone and said, "Guys, let's talk about this first. If there is news from the technical team or Marcus, remember to tell me as soon as possible."

   "As you wish, Captain."

  Luke returned to the captain's office, pressed the answer button, "Hello, I'm Luke."

  Anthony’s voice came from the phone, “Man, how is the investigation of Isa Redman’s kidnapping going?”

   "Some progress has been made." Luke asked perfunctorily, "What about the kidnapping of real estate tycoon Gary Sane's son?"

  Anthony sighed, "The kidnapper hasn't contacted again, the situation is not very good."

   "Now the news about the kidnapping of the real estate tycoon's son is everywhere on TV. It can be said that it is known all over the city. As long as the robber's brain is not broken, he will not contact the family at this time." Luke changed the question,

   "Actually, what I'm more curious about is how did the news of the kidnapping of the real estate tycoon's son get out?"

  Anthony said perfunctorily, "I want to know too."

   "This is not like the Anthony I know. If you can't even find out this, you, the deputy director of the FBI, will be considered useless."

  Anthony was silent for a moment, "Where are you? If you have time, let's meet and talk."

   "OK, I'm at the police station, you can come here directly." There is some connection between the two cases, and Luke also wants to clarify some things.

"See you soon."

  …

  Anthony came quickly and arrived at Luke's office in twenty minutes.

  He saw Luke sitting at his desk making tea, and squeezed out a smile, "You're quite laid back."

  Luke made a gesture of invitation, "Knowing that you are coming, I specially made a pot of tea."

  Anthony sat across from Luke, "It seems that you have already solved the kidnapping case of the rich businessman's daughter Isa Redman."

  Luke shook his head, "As long as the kidnapper hasn't been caught, it's too early to say this."

  The police do not know the exact location of the kidnappers, but they do have two important clues.

  The first clue is that biological samples were found in the house where the kidnapper lived. If the identity of the kidnapper can be identified through comparison of the biological samples, the case will be half solved.

  The second clue, according to the agreement, Jim will deliver 6 million cash to the kidnappers on March 17th, which is also a good opportunity to catch him.

   Luke is now most worried about the safety of the hostages.

  He also hopes to rescue the hostages as soon as possible, but apart from these two clues, the police have no other clues related to the kidnappers.

   This is why he let Anthony come.

  These two kidnappings happened around the same time. One left a bloodstained letter V at the crime scene, and the other kidnapper claimed to be Mr. V. The two cases may be related to a certain extent.

  Anthony held a teacup and took a sip of tea, "Luke, I'm here to ask you for help."

   Luke asked back, "What help?"

   "The case of the kidnapping of real estate tycoon Gary Sane's son has hit a bottleneck. The investigation has not progressed in the past few days. I want you to help analyze whether the two kidnapping cases are related."

  Luke picked up the teapot and added some tea to him, "I don't know much about the kidnapping of real estate tycoon Gary Sane's son."

Anthony introduced, "The case happened on the night of March 10, at about 12 o'clock in the morning, Gary Sane received a call from the kidnappers, claiming that his son Gary Sane Jr. was in their hands and asked him to prepare for it by tomorrow night. $10 million in cash.

   Gary Sane was dubious and hurried to contact his son, but he couldn't be reached.

  Gary Sane only knew that his son had gone out with friends on a yacht, but he didn't know the exact location.

  Subsequently, Gary Sane called the police, and the FBI took over the investigation of the case. "

Anthony handed Luke a cigarette, lit one himself, took a sip, and continued, "About two o'clock in the morning, we found the yacht. It was a mess, and left a lot of wine bottles and leftovers. food.

   We also found blood on the yacht, which had a **** V in it.

   Afterwards, after identification, it was bloodstains belonging to three people, including Gary Sane Jr.

  Afterwards, after some investigation, we learned that Gary Sane Jr. held a party on the yacht that day. There were a total of more than a dozen people attending the party, and the party ended after ten o'clock in the evening.

  Among them, two other partygoers also disappeared.

  After the incident, we identified the other two bloodstains on the yacht were left by these two people.

   These two are a couple, the man is Mohan Wald, who is a friend of Gary Sane Jr.

  We speculate that it may not be one person who was kidnapped, but three people. "

  Anthony flicked the cigarette ash, took a puff, and sighed, "You know what happened later, the media found out that the real estate tycoon's son was kidnapped, and it was on the morning news the next day.

   This case was also completely screwed up, and there was no call from the kidnapper after that. "

  Luke had a general understanding of the case, and said, "This kidnapping case is a bit rough, it doesn't look like it was done by professionals.

  One more person kidnapped means more risk of exposure. "

  Anthony said, "I guess the target of the kidnappers is Gary Sane Jr. The kidnapping of Mohan Wald and his girlfriend should be an accident.

  For example, they were also present at the time of the kidnapping, and even saw the kidnapping process.

  If the two of them are killed directly, the police will also investigate the kidnapping of Gary Sane Jr.

  That's why the three of them were taken away together. "

   Luke asked, "Is it possible that Mohan Ward and his girlfriend kidnapped Gary Sane Jr.?"

  Anthony shook his head, "This possibility is extremely small. They attended a yacht party, and it is easy to find them afterwards."

  Luke nodded, "Do you know who leaked the news that Gary Sane Jr. was kidnapped?"

  “We found the reporter who first broadcast the news. Someone called him anonymously. It was a one-time prepaid mobile phone call, and the owner’s information could not be found.

   Afterwards, after many investigations, I suspect that there may be an insider in the FBI. "

  Luke frowned slightly. If the FBI has an insider and the hostages are torn apart, then there will be a big problem.

   "Do you have any doubts about the identity of the inner ghost?"

   "Not yet, I haven't found any evidence that the FBI has an insider, but after ruling out all kinds of possibilities, this possibility is the greatest..."

  Anthony was also a little helpless, "Can you give me some advice? Don't forget, you are also the FBI's criminal investigation consultant."

  Luke did not answer directly, but asked instead, "Do you know why I took over the investigation of this case?"

   "I didn't know before, but Rhett later told me that it was the father of the victim, Isa Redman, who asked for it.

  I think it may be because the news of the kidnapping of Gary Sane Jr. was leaked, which made him doubt the ability of the FBI. "

  Luke continued, "I was on vacation with my family in Hawaii at the time. After receiving a call from Director Reid, I thought about it for a while. When I decided to return to Los Angeles, I found that my documents had been stolen.

  I caught the thief. She confessed that she was instructed by someone else to sneak into the hotel and steal my ID on purpose. "

  Anthony understood immediately, "Someone wants to prevent you from returning to Los Angeles to investigate the kidnapping case?"

  Luke said, "Although there is no definite evidence, I also guess so.

  After I came back, I asked the father of the hostage. Only four people knew that he wanted me to investigate the kidnapping case.

   Himself, his wife, Chief Reed and Gary Sane. "

  Anthony asked back, "Do you suspect that Gary Sane has a problem?"

   "I don't know, I haven't had contact with him, what do you think?"

  Anthony replied, "We have checked his company's financials, and the operation is in good condition.

  Besides, he still called the police and showed no signs of lying. I don’t think his problem is serious. "

  Luke guessed, "Would it be that there is a problem with the people around him. The rich man only told him the news, but it doesn't mean he won't say it."

  Anthony nodded, "I understand what you mean, I will communicate with him privately.

  By the way, do you have any clues about the person who hired a thief to steal? "

   "There is a portrait of his criminal investigation sketch."

   "Very well, send me the sketch of that guy. When the case is solved, I'll buy you a drink." Anthony stood up, as if he couldn't wait to investigate this new clue.

  Luke waved his hand, "Don't worry, I still have something for you to help."

"What's up?"

  “Ten years ago, there was also a kidnapping case in Los Angeles. The victim of the kidnapping case was a ten-year-old girl whose father was a diamond merchant.

  The kidnapping case was investigated by the FBI at the time. "

  Anthony was silent for a moment, and recalled, "Yes, I remember this case. The kidnappers were not caught, and there was no news about the little girl. Afterwards, the media played it up a lot, and many citizens accused us of being incompetent at the FBI.

  Why do you think of this case? "

   "I'll explain to you later, I want the file of this case."

   "No problem, this case is a stain on the FBI. If you, the FBI's criminal investigation consultant, can solve the case, you may be able to take over my position."

  Luke laughed, "Shouldn't it be Negan's supervisor?"

   "You are an ambitious kid, I have to let Negan guard against you."

   "Comeon, when I take Negan's position, he may already be the boss of the FBI." Luke joked, "I will take care of you when the time comes, Deputy Director Anthony."

   "I won't be the deputy director forever, you nasty boy." Anthony gestured to leave.

  Luke reminded, "Hey, be careful, don't be found out by the ghost you said. I don't want Isa Redman's case to be on the news tomorrow."

  Anthony waved his hand, "Don't worry, I will go to the archives to look for it myself."

   Luke gave a thumbs up, "Waiting for your news."

  …

  The next morning.

  Mary pushed open the door of a squadron office, "Good morning, guys.

   Whoa, I smell donuts. "

  The deputy team came over enthusiastically with donuts in hand, "This donut shop is doing activities, try it, it tastes pretty good."

   "Thank you, I was so busy last night, I was so hungry." Mary took a bite of the donut with a satisfied expression on her face.

   After she ate a donut, the deputy team asked, "Did the kidnapper's biological test result come out?"

   "Yes, good news and bad news," Mary said, picking up another donut and taking a bite.

   Jackson poured her a cup of coffee, "I choose good news."

   "Thank you, you are so sweet." Mary took a sip of coffee and continued,

   "The good news is that the comparison of the DNA extracted from the domestic garbage in the house was successful, and we found the identity of one of them. Her name is Sofia de la Rosa, and she is twenty years old."

   Jackson pressed, "The bad news."

   "According to her file, she was kidnapped ten years ago, and there has been no news about her, and she has been ruled dead.

   That is to say, what we found was a person who was officially 'declared dead'.

  Her life trajectory for the past ten years is blank. "

   "Sofia de la Rosa..." the deputy team muttered a few words, looking a little excited,

   "That's right, it's her.

  God, it's been ten years and she's still alive! "
