Los Angeles Detective

half an hour later.

Susan rushed to the scene with the survey team.

The investigation team entered the house to collect physical evidence.

Susan asked, "Tell me about the investigation in detail."

Luke said, "We went to Ball's car repair shop and met the owner, Carus Ball.

Learned something from him.

According to Carus Ball, the homeowner, Benjamin Nassi, had a conflict with the Mexican-American victim, Santos Mendin.

We'll come and investigate.

David smelled blood, and considering the urgency of the situation, he went straight into the house to search. "

Susan nodded, "Nice job."

David said, "The homeowner has a motive for committing the crime, and there is a lot of blood in the house. This is probably the first scene where Santos Mending was killed."

The deputy team frowned, "Is it too smooth?"

Susan asked, "What do you think?"

The deputy team was silent for a moment and said, "You have talked with the owner of the car repair shop, Carus Ball, what do you think of him?"

David asked back, "Do you suspect that he has a problem?"

The deputy team shrugged, "As long as it is a person involved in the case, I will raise suspicions."

David thought for a while, "He treats Santos Mendin well, at least he hasn't seen any motive for committing the crime yet."

The deputy said, "Criminals don't show their evil side."

Susan said, "Deputy team, if you have doubts about Carus Ball, then talk to him directly."

"Are you sure you don't need me there?"

"It's enough to have me."

"OK, you are the captain." The deputy team was a little depressed, called Marcus and drove away.

Susan pointed at Luke and David, "Don't watch the fun, you two.

Matthew found the whereabouts of Santos Mendin's car through the surveillance camera.

At around seven o'clock in the evening on the 28th, Santos Mending left the car repair shop where he worked.

But instead of heading home, he drove to the city center.

At around 7:20, the car disappeared near Kaiwei Square.

He reappeared at 12:35 am on the 29th, and disappeared for a full five hours in the middle, to find out what he was doing. "

"Raymond, go and investigate the information on Benjamin Nassi."

"Yes, captain."

...

Half an hour later, Luke and the two drove to Kaiwei Square.

David looked around while driving, "This place is so big, where can we find it?"

Luke asked back, "You said Santos Mending won't go home after work, what are you doing here?"

David thought for a while, "Santos Mendin's wife ran away from home, could she be looking for her?"

Luke smiled, "I don't know, but the urban area is not a suburb, and the narrow roads are not easy to park.

We just turned around and only found a parking lot.

Go over and ask. "

"Good idea." David drove the car into the parking lot.

Luke got out of the car and said to the middle-aged black man guarding the parking lot, "Hey, is this under your control?"

The black guard glanced at Luke, "Working days, one dollar an hour. Non-working days, two hours one dollar."

"Thank you for the reminder." Luke flashed his police badge, "But I want to know something from you."

The black guard was slightly taken aback, "What's the situation? I only pay for parking, and the rest has nothing to do with me."

"On the night of March 28, have you ever seen a Nissan Teana with license plate number 8Ceb383?"

"Yes, I have."

Seeing him answer so quickly, Luke was surprised, "How do you remember so clearly?"

"He works nearby, parks his car almost every night, and has a monthly card. I have no reason not to know him."

"Where does he work?"

"Kaiwei Bar is just in front, you can just ask."

"Thank you." Putting down the car, Luke and the two walked to Kaiwei Bar.

The bar is already open, but there are not many people at this time, which is convenient for asking questions.

Luke walked to the bar.

The white bartender at the bar asked, "What would you like to drink?"

Luke directly showed his police badge, "I want to ask you about someone."

"This is a bar. Many people come here every day. I may not remember everyone. Don't expect too much."

Luke took out his phone and found a photo of Santos Mending, "Do you know this person?"

"Santos Mending, he is also the bartender here, but he hasn't come for a few days."

"How long has he been working here?"

"Three or four months, what's the matter?"

Luke didn't answer, and continued to ask, "What time does he usually work from?"

"Between 7:30 and 12:30 in the evening."

"Is it like this every day?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"Who here is more familiar with him?"

"You're asking the right person. He's not very talkative. When we two go to work together, we occasionally chat."

"What trouble has he been in lately?"

"He's been in a bit of a low mood recently, and it seems to be related to his wife, but I don't know exactly what happened. He is not a person who is easy to talk to, and he never drinks.

Have you ever seen a bartender who doesn't drink? The white bartender smiled and asked, "What's wrong with him?" He doesn't sound like a criminal to me? "

"he died."

"Are you joking?"

Luke held up his police badge. "What do you think?"

"It's hard for me to accept that the person who was working with me a few days ago suddenly...is so unfortunate. How did he die?"

"Trust me, you don't want to know."

"OK, then don't say it."

"Can you get in touch with his wife?"

"He seems to have mentioned where his wife works, but... I can't remember."

"Recall carefully."

The white bartender thought for a while, "I still can't remember, sorry, I have to work."

Luke left a business card, "I remember, call me anytime, thank you."

After leaving the bar, David said with emotion, "This guy works harder than me. He fixes the car from nine in the morning to six thirty in the afternoon.

As a bartender from 7:30 in the evening to 12:00 in the morning, he works fifteen hours a day, plus commuting time, this guy is almost working except for sleeping and eating. "

"That's why I don't get married." Luke thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect Santos Mending to come here for work.

"Even if you want to get married, there must be a woman who is willing to marry you. From my experience, that lawyer is useless."

"What about Santos Mending? He works so hard, why did his wife leave him?"

Luke thought to himself, you have a fart experience, and the wife ran away with someone.

David snorted, "The devil knows what these women are thinking."

...

next morning.

Police Department.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Luke entered the office on time.

David frowned, "Do you have to be so punctual? Thinking of Santos Mending working fifteen hours a day, don't you feel touched?"

"I feel deeply, he is dead, and I don't want to die."

david "..."

Luke put a cup of soy milk on the table, "It's for you."

David rubbed his hands, "I like the white drink made of beans."

Luke raised his glass and said, "Drink more of this, it can ease your temper."

"Really?" David questioned.

"It's absolutely true."

"why?"

"Try it and you'll know." Luke would never tell him that drinking too much soy milk can increase estrogen.

Susan walked into the office from the outside with the materials, "Come to the conference room for a meeting."

Everyone walked into the conference room.

Susan turned on the projector and put a piece of information on it, "The site survey report came out yesterday.

There was indeed human blood in the house, but it did not belong to the deceased Santos Mending, nor was it the first scene where Santos Mending was killed.

After DNA comparison, the blood on the ground matched the DNA of the third finger, and the blood came from the fourth victim.

The amount of blood is enough to kill an adult. "

This result surprised Luke, "Who is the identity of the fourth victim?"

Susan pushed her glasses, and continued, "The survey team collected some DNA samples from the comb and toothbrush in the bathroom, which probably came from the homeowner, Benjamin Nassi, and the biological samples and blood DNA completely matched.

Of course, considering the rigor of the identification, we will contact Benjamin Nassi's immediate family members and conduct another DNA test.

However, judging from the current situation, the fourth victim is likely to be the owner of the house, Benjamin Nassi. "

David took a sip of soy milk, "Santos Mending is dead, and Benjamin Naxi, who had a grudge against him, may have also been killed. Who would the murderer be?"

The deputy team said, "These two people have an intersection, and the suspect is probably their acquaintance."

Luke asked back, "Deputy team, do you suspect it's Carus Ball, the owner of the car repair shop?"

The deputy team shook his head, "I don't know. I chatted with him yesterday, and I didn't see any problems. Of course, his suspicion cannot be completely ruled out."

Luke smiled, "You didn't say that."

"Boy, do you have any good suggestions?"

Luke thought for a moment, "The owners of the three fingers have been found out, Badman Pall, Santos Mending, and Benjamin Nassi.

Except for Badman Pall, the other two had no direct contact with the first deceased, Riley Harry.

But I found one thing they have in common.

Married, but the relationship with his wife is not very good. "
