Los Angeles Detective

Twelve o'clock at night.

Magya Street.

This is a street located in the city center, bustling and busy during the day, with people coming and going, and deserted and quiet at night.

The Victrex supermarket is just down the street.

The supermarket closed before ten o'clock, and the shutters were closed outside.

A box truck drove to the back door of the supermarket. The location here was even more remote. At night, there were no people, not even a stray dog.

Two men got out of the cab, wearing stockings on their heads. One of them, a tall white man, went to the back and opened the door of the truck, and two more men jumped out from inside.

One of the men asked the tall white man, "Loki, do you have to lock the door of the cargo box? Although I don't have occult phobia, I really don't like it."

"No problem, next time I will tie you to the roof of the car, and then you can enjoy the moonlight at night while riding in the car."

"Haha..." The companions around laughed.

Loki made a silent gesture and ordered, "Martin, old rules, you are still in charge of the lookout.

Caffett, go and pick the lock.

George, you idiot, don't smoke here.

Come on guys, let's get this over with. "

Several people split up and acted.

Caffett took out his tool and began to pick the lock. He said it was open, more like prying, and roughly destroyed the lock.

Although it feels that the unlocking technology is average, the effect is still very good.

Loki snapped his fingers, "Martin, keep watching.

Caffett, George, follow me into the big purchase. "

Surrounded by his two younger brothers, Rocky walked into the supermarket swaggeringly, turned on the lights inside the supermarket, looked at the dazzling array of products in the supermarket, Rocky showed a smirk, he liked this feeling very much, the supermarket in front of him Like a young girl in the blooming season, exuding a different kind of charm, let him ask for it.

"Guys, happy hour is here." Loki opened his arms and laughed arrogantly.

"Ha ha……"

"Honey, here I come."

The two younger brothers also let out a burst of laughter, pushing the shopping cart and began to choose items, cigarettes, red wine, lipstick, soap, milk powder, diapers...

These items are not necessarily the most expensive, but they are all small and easy to sell.

The two younger brothers unscrupulously used the supermarket shopping cart to move items, as if they regarded this place as their own warehouse.

Rocky held a long stick and smashed several cameras in the supermarket.

Even though they were both wearing masks, he still didn't like being watched.

After Rocky finished knocking on the camera and was about to move the goods, a voice suddenly sounded at the door of the supermarket, "Hey, boy, are you having a party?

I also want to join. "

This unfamiliar voice startled the three of Loki.

Loki threw away the cigarette in his hand, turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, and saw a black-haired young man standing at the door of the supermarket. He picked up the baseball bat next to him and pointed at Luke, "Where did you come from, you idiot? Want to die?"

After speaking, he felt something was wrong again, "Where is Martin? What did you do to him?"

After Loki finished speaking, he was stunned. He saw three more people walking in behind the black-haired man, each wearing body armor, holding a rifle in his hand, and a grenade and a stun bomb on his waist.

"I bought it..." Although Loki had a pistol on his waist, he didn't dare to move, because the difference in firepower between the two sides was too great.

To move is to die.

He was glad that he didn't draw the gun immediately, otherwise, he might have been lying on the ground by now, bleeding all over his body.

With a bang, the baseball bat fell to the ground, and Rocky asked, "Hey, we just want to make some extra money, no offense intended.

What do you think? "

Luke flashed his police badge, "lapd, the three of you dropped your weapons, put your heads in your hands, and knelt on the ground."

Seeing that the other party was a policeman, the three of Rocky even lost the unrealistic luck deep in their hearts, and knelt on the ground obediently.

The three thieves who were still extremely arrogant just now were pinned to the ground, searched, their weapons were taken away, and handcuffs were put on. A set of procedures went down honestly.

Luke took off the white man's stockings hood, "What's your name?"

"Loki."

"full name."

"Rocky Jones."

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Well, your real name is Rocky."

Loki glared at Xiao Hei, "Yes, is there a problem?"

"No, but watch your tone, I don't promise I won't beat you."

Luke took out the photo of the owner of Shanyuan Supermarket, "Do you know him?"

Loki glanced at the photo, the corner of his mouth twitched, "No."

Luke smiled, "My patience is limited, don't make trouble for yourself, understand?"

Loki remained expressionless.

"Here we go again, one last time." Luke pointed at the photo, "Know him?"

Loki glanced at Luke and remained silent.

David smiled, "I like this guy, it's kind of interesting."

"You're right, I like this guy too." Luke said it easily, his face sank visibly.

"Marcus, Jackson, get the other two guys into the car, I want to talk to Rocky alone."

Loki obviously felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and he was very familiar with this feeling.

These bastard pds are more ruthless when dealing with gang members like them than ordinary suspects.

When the two little brothers were taken out of the supermarket, Rocky had no worries. He knew that the police had no worries, so he stopped hesitating, "I know him, that's right, I've seen him."

"Very well, what's his name?"

"Osmond Simpson."

"how did you guys meet?"

"I sold him some merchandise."

"What product?"

"It's just some cigarettes, alcohol, daily necessities."

Luke took out a list, "Look, if it's the item on it, pay attention to the brand."

Loki looked at the list carefully, "That's right, these are the items."

"Where did these items come from?"

Loki sighed, "Did he betray me?"

"Stop talking nonsense and answer my question first."

"Uh... I can't remember."

Luke smiled, "Are you indirectly telling me that you have stolen a lot of stores and you want me to find out all the bad things you have done?"

"Uh... I remembered, it's a Korean supermarket, Jiangnan Supermarket."

"When was it stolen?"

"Around twelve o'clock in the evening on August 3."

"Is there any Cafira brand red wine among the goods you stole?"

"Seems to be."

"I want to answer accurately." Luke pointed to the brand of red wine on the list.

"Yes, there are two cases of red wine of this brand."

"Why put poison in red wine?"

"Poisoned?

No, I didn't poison, I just want to turn goods into money, why poison, it doesn't do me any good. "

Luke didn't look like the other party was lying, "When you sold the red wine to Shanyuan Supermarket, did anyone else touch these two boxes of red wine?"

"No."

"Is it possible that your accomplice poisoned it?"

"Impossible, it's not good for them." Loki seemed to sense the problem, "What exactly are you arresting me for?"

"Of the two boxes of red wine you sold to Shanyuan Supermarket, two bottles of red wine were poisoned. We are here to investigate this matter. If you want a favorable plea agreement, explain this matter clearly. Understand?"

"Poisoned?" Loki frowned and thought, "But we really didn't poison it? Could it be that there is something wrong with the two bottles of red wine?"

David laughed, "You mean the manufacturers poisoned themselves, or the supermarkets poisoned themselves? Are they crazy?"

"Nono, that's not what I mean. I saw a person that night and sneaked into the supermarket. Maybe it was her who poisoned me."

Luke asked, "What kind of person?"

"An Asian woman, wearing a floral dress, we saw her when we were watching near the supermarket, and we started to rob the supermarket after she left.

Because it was a supermarket run by Koreans, she might also be Korean, so I didn't care too much. "

Luke took out a photo of Li Sunmi, the owner of Gangnam Supermarket, "Is that her?"

"Kind of like, but probably not."

Luke thought for a while, and then took out a photo of Li Sunmi's cousin Kim Soo-hye, "Is that her?"

"It seems to be her."

Luke was a little surprised, "How long has she been in?"

"I don't know, when we got there, the back of the supermarket was open, so instead of going in right away, we hid in the car and waited.

I just saw that when she came out, she seemed to be carrying a black backpack. "

"What time was it?"

"Around eleven fifty."

"Do you have proof?"

"Yes, I felt a little curious at the time, so I took a picture of her."

Luke took out his mobile phone and searched, and sure enough, he found a photo suspected to be Kim Soo-hye, at 11:50 p.m. on August 3rd.

In Luke's impression, Jin Xiuhui and her cousin Li Shanmi have a relatively close relationship. Why did the other party sneak into her cousin's supermarket at night?

She is a poisoner?

Or is there another purpose?

As for why Jin Xiuhui chose to sneak into the supermarket on August 3, it is not difficult to understand.

Because there was a power outage near the supermarket that day, and the supermarket cameras were unavailable, Jin Xiuhui should have known about it.

From this point of view, she is suspected of poisoning, but the motive is not yet clear.

Luke withdrew his thoughts and looked at Loki, "Are you willing to come forward and identify her?"

Loki asked back, "Is there any benefit for me?"

"No, I'll take it as your consent."

Rocky "..."

Later, Rocky was escorted out of the supermarket.

The four of Rocky have gang backgrounds, and they were first handed over to the Anti-Mafia and Anti-Drug Division.

Luke patted David on the shoulder, "Man, I'll leave it to you."

"Don't forget my drink."

Luke smiled. "Call me."

...

the next afternoon.

Jiangnan Supermarket.

Manager's office.

The two women were sitting on the sofa chatting. They were Li Shanmei and Jin Xiuhui, the owners of Jiangnan Supermarket.

Jin Xiuhui took a sip from her coffee cup, "How is the investigation of the supermarket theft case going? Have the policemen been here yet?"

"No, there is no news since I left last time." Li Shanmei sighed, "I didn't hold out much hope."

"Buzz." A cell phone rang.

Li Shanmei took out her mobile phone from the red leather bag next to her, glanced at the screen of the mobile phone, "It's another promotion, I'm so annoying."

"This is the trouble of the rich." Jin Xiuhui smiled, pointing to the red leather bag next to her, "Is this a new one you bought? I haven't seen it before."

"Yes, it was given to me by Zhong Min some time ago, and I recite it for the first time today."

"Your birthday hasn't come yet, why did he give you a present?"

"Tanabata gift."

"I bought Karma, I haven't had it for a long time, and I even forgot about it. Have you made noodles for him?" Jin Xiuhui was a little envious.

"He likes the pancakes I made."

"I really envy you for having a good husband. By the way, why haven't I seen him come to the supermarket recently?"

"He wants to open another branch and is busy with site selection, research, and messy things."

Jin Xiuhui's eyes widened, "Wow, are you going to open a new supermarket?"

"Yes, he has always wanted to expand his business. In his words, we have successfully operated a supermarket, and we just need to copy it."

"Where are you going to open your shop?"

"It may be in a white community or a Chinese community, and the products will be adjusted according to the conditions of the surrounding communities."

"Sounds good..."

"Boom..."

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

"Come in."

The door opened from the outside, and Luke and Xiao Hei walked in.

"Hey, Deputy Luke, why are you here suddenly? We were talking about you just now."

"Ms. Li, Ms. Jin, nice to meet you." Luke looked at the two of them.

"Lieutenant Luke, please sit down.

What do you want me to do today? Any news of the gang of thieves? "

Luke said, "Yes, we caught the suspects who came to Jiangnan Supermarket to steal."

"Really?" Now, Li Shanmei was a little uneasy. To be honest, she had basically given up hope before.

"Yes."

"Thank you so much." Li Shanmei let out a long breath, clutching her chest, "This matter has always been on my mind, and I have been worried that they will steal the supermarket again.

Finally able to sleep peacefully.

Thanks. "

"You're welcome. Apart from this news, we have another thing to tell you today." Luke looked at Jin Xiuhui who was on the side. "Ms. Jin, can we talk about it alone?"

"I...what do you want to talk to me about?" Jin Xiuhui seemed a little nervous.

Luke didn't answer, and continued to ask, "Do you want to talk here? Or another place?"

"Uh..." Jin Xiuhui pursed her lips, looked at Luke, and then at her cousin.

Li Shanmei was also a little puzzled, "Officer Luke, what do you want from my cousin?"

"Remember, the purpose of our coming here?"

Li Shanmei took a deep breath, showing a look of surprise, "You are here to investigate the poisoning case in Shanyuan Supermarket. But what does this have to do with my cousin?"

Luke still didn't answer, "Ms. Jin, why don't you talk about it yourself."

Jin Xiuhui shook her head, "There may be some misunderstanding here, you guys are wrong, I have never poisoned Shanyuan Supermarket."

Luke asked back, "Then did you poison Jiangnan Supermarket?"

Immediately, Jin Xiuhui's face turned pale.

Li Shanmei was a little confused, "What's going on? There has never been a poisoning incident in my supermarket? Deputy Luke, did you make a mistake?"

Luke said, "That's because after the poisoning, the goods were resold by the thieves to Shanyuan Supermarket, so the poisoning case happened in Shanyuan Supermarket.

In a sense, you should thank the gang of thieves. "

Li Shanmei looked at Luke, then at her cousin, and finally at Luke, "You mean my cousin poisoned my supermarket?

impossible.

There was no way she could do that.

We have a good relationship.

She has no reason to do so.

I can vouch for her. "

Jin Xiuhui echoed, "That's right, I never did that, you are framing me."

"You think you're innocent?"

"Yes, there must be some misunderstanding." Jin Xiuhui nodded.

"Very well, we are here to resolve the misunderstanding today, can I ask you a few questions?"

"No, this doubt itself is a kind of personal insult, and I refuse to answer any of your questions."

"Then there is no way." Luke showed his arrest warrant, "Ms. Jin, we suspect that you are involved in the Shanyuan Supermarket poisoning case, and you have been arrested."

"You can't do this, I have never done it." Jin Xiuhui was very emotional.

Li Shanmei persuaded, "Cousin, calm down first, I believe you are innocent, as long as you explain clearly, you will be fine."

"I have nothing to say, they are just framing me."

"Jin Xiuhui, you are under arrest." Xiao Hei took out the handcuffs, handcuffed Jin Xiuhui's hands, and read the Miranda warning.

Later, Luke and Xiao Hei put Jin Xiuhui into the police car.

Li Shanmei stood at the entrance of the supermarket with a complicated expression, and finally could only watch the police car leave.

...

Police Department.

After returning to the police station, go through the detention procedures.

Luke and Xiao Hei took a short rest before starting to interrogate Jin Xiuhui.

Jin Xiuhui was much calmer than she was in the supermarket before, her hands were intertwined, her head was lowered, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

Luke knocked on the table, "Ms. Jin, please look up."

Jin Xiuhui raised her head slowly, her eyes were red, "You arrested the wrong person, I never poisoned Shanyuan Supermarket."

"Then did you poison Jiangnan Supermarket?"

"No, that's my cousin's supermarket, how could I poison her supermarket."

"On August 3rd, have you ever been to Jiangnan Supermarket?"

"I can't remember.

However, I often go to her supermarket, even if I have been, it is normal. "

"That's right, it's okay for you to go during the day, but you went after eleven o'clock in the evening, when the supermarket was closed, so there is a problem."

"I haven't been there, you are wronging me."

"Are you sure you haven't been to Jiangnan Supermarket after 11pm on August 3rd?"

"No."

Luke took out a photo, "Is that you in this photo?"

Jin Xiuhui glanced at it, then lowered her head again without answering.

"We not only have photos, but also witnesses, and the other party is willing to come forward to identify you.

It's useless if you don't admit it. "

After a while, Jin Xiuhui raised her head slowly, "So what if I've been there? It doesn't mean I poisoned the supermarket."

"Jiangnan Supermarket closes at nine o'clock in the evening, what are you doing after eleven o'clock?"

Jin Xiuhui was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "I have been to the supermarket during the day.

At night, I found that I lost one of my earrings. I thought my earrings had fallen in the supermarket, so I went back to look for them. "

"Did you tell Li Sunmi about this?"

"No."

"Where did you get the key to the supermarket?"

"Lee Sun Mi left it with me before."

"Li Shanmei is the owner of the supermarket, you sneaked into the supermarket at night, why didn't you tell her?"

"I forgot."

Luke smiled, "No one with a little common sense would believe it. Do you think this reason can convince the jury?"

"What I said is true."

Luke changed the subject, "Do you have any Cafira at home?"

Jin Xiuhui's body trembled, she shook her head, "No."

"Have you ever bought this brand of red wine?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"We contacted the manufacturer of this red wine and found ten supermarkets selling this red wine near your home. We checked the surveillance videos of several supermarkets and found you in the Wiggins supermarket five kilometers away from your home. figure."

Luke took out his mobile phone and played a video. In the video, Jin Xiuhui carried a box of red wine to the counter. The brand of the red wine was Cafira. "How do you explain this?"

"I bought it... woo woo..." Jin Xiuhui burst into tears.

After the other party cried for a while, Luke warned with a serious face, "Ms. Jin, you have been lying since the interrogation, and it has been recorded in the law enforcement recorder. Don't say I don't believe you, the prosecutor, the judge, the jury! Neither will believe you.

If you continue to lie, you can only increase your own sentence.

Be smart and cooperate with the police in your best interest. "

Jin Xiuhui broke down emotionally, "God, why am I so unlucky, why?"

Luke struck while the iron was hot, "You bought kafera red wine from Wiggins Supermarket, then poisoned the red wine, and put it in Jiangnan Supermarket on the night of August 3rd, am I right?"

Jin Xiuhui nodded, choked up and said, "Yes.

But I just put ordinary laxatives, which won't do much harm to the body. "

Now that the other party admitted it, Luke's tone softened, "Why did you poison the red wine?"

Jin Xiuhui shook her head, "I was stunned at the time, and I don't know why I did this?"

"Is there any conflict between you and Li Sunmi?"

"No."

"Then do you want Jiangnan Supermarket to close down?"

"Yes."

Luke guessed, "Do you hate Lee Sun Mi?"

"I have no idea."

"Do you hate her?"

"Yes."

"What do you hate about her?"

Jin Xiuhui wiped her tears, "Twenty years ago, I came to Los Angeles through studying abroad, and I was the first in my family to live in Murray.

At that time, they all envied me.

I finished my studies, found a white husband, got my green card smoothly, everything was perfect.

About twelve years ago, my cousin came to Los Angeles through my relationship, and I helped her through the formalities.

In the beginning, she borrowed from my house, wore my old clothes, and used my old bag. I helped her a lot. I introduced her first job and her husband.

It's me who has been helping her.

It is because of my help that she can have everything she has now. "Jin Xiuhui showed a complex look on her face, with a touch of unwillingness and resentment, "What about me?

I helped her so much, what did I get?

I am divorced and now living on meager alimony.

I don't even have a serious job now, and she is the owner of a supermarket and is about to open a branch now.

I am renting a house now, and she already has two luxury houses.

My current life requires careful budgeting, and she spends all day buying luxury items.

Whenever I see all this, I feel very painful and very sad.

I kept thinking, if I hadn't brought her to the United States, introduced her a job, or introduced her husband.

Wouldn't all this have happened.

I wouldn't be in such pain. "
