Los Angeles Detective

Chapter 490: Cause and Effect

Luke asked, "What do you think of Gary Sane Jr.'s mother stopping me from returning to Los Angeles?"

Anthony recalled for a moment, "The reporter was Gary Sane Jr.'s father, and it was Gary Sane Jr.'s father who had been in contact with the FBI.

I met Gary Sane Jr.'s mother, a white woman with red hair, who had been crying when we met, with a look of obvious panic and concern on her face.

There was nothing wrong with her attitude at the time. "

Luke said, "There are two people who are very angry. One is late for work because of the traffic jam; the other is because his wife cheated on him. Although both people are very angry and have the same attitude, the reasons for their anger are very different.

The fear and concern of Gary Sane Jr.'s mother may not be due to the kidnapping of her son, but it may also be due to the FBI. "

Anthony nodded, "You're right.

If they are people with a criminal record or gang background, they can be arrested directly, and there are some ways to make them speak.

But this woman is different. She can find many reasons. For example, she heard from her husband that she wanted to invite you back to Los Angeles to investigate the case, and she felt that you were too young. People are preventing you from returning to Los Angeles.

As long as she bites her to death and refuses to speak out, and we can't produce new evidence, the lawyer will soon release her on bail.

At that time, it will be us who will fall into passiveness. "

Luke thought for a while, "Then analyze in reverse from her purpose or motivation, why did she do this?

The first possibility is that she kidnapped her son, or that she was one of the participants in the kidnapping case.

The second possibility is that the kidnappers learned that Gary Sane Jr.'s father called the police and knew that he could not get money from Gary Sane Jr.'s father, so they contacted Gary Sane Jr.'s mother.

The mother of Gary Sane Jr. did not agree with her husband's behavior of calling the police, and wanted to pay the ransom in private to save her son.

The third possibility is that the so-called kidnapping case was only directed and acted by Gary Sane Jr. After his father called the police, Gary Sane Jr. was terrified, so he had to tell his mother the truth and let his mother Help him pass the news and cover. "

Anthony thought for a moment, "It is unlikely that she kidnapped her son.

I'm more inclined to the latter two possibilities.

Either she deliberately concealed her husband and the FBI in order to save her son, and dealt with the kidnappers in private.

Either Gary Sane Jr. directed and acted in the kidnapping. "

Luke continued, "No matter what the situation is, she must contact the other party. If she can find out their contact information, she may be able to find out where the hostages are hiding."

Anthony said, "I'm going to apply for investigation procedures."

"I'm going home to sleep." Luke waved his hand and drove away. .

...

The next morning, five o'clock.

Inside Luke's bedroom.

"Om..." A mobile phone rang beside the bed.

Luke yawned and pressed the answer button, "Hello."

"Luke, we investigated the communication records of Gary Sane Jr.'s mother, she has three mobile phone numbers, one of which has been in contact with a prepaid mobile phone since March 11th.

We located this prepaid cell phone, in a motel.

During this time period, the kidnappers are most likely to be sleeping, which is a good time to arrest them. "

Luke "..."

you're right.

I am also sleeping.

You@#¥%...

Luke washed his hair, refreshed himself, and drove to the motel near Highway 1.

The surrounding area of ​​the motel is relatively deserted, which is why the mobile phone can accurately locate it.

Thinking that it is not easy for the FBI to investigate the case overnight, Luke is half of the FBI, so he stopped by McDonald's to buy some coffee.

At the meeting point, Luke distributed coffee to everyone, gaining a wave of goodwill.

If ordinary people come to share the credit, everyone will definitely not be happy.

If it was Luke, the famous Los Angeles detective, the detectives didn't have too many ideas, after all, Luke's ability and past experience were there.

Anthony took a sip of his coffee, "Thanks, that's exactly what I needed."

"Are you sure the kidnapper is in this motel?"

"I just sent someone to ask the front desk of the hotel. They have seen that Mohan Wald, a friend of Gary Sane Jr., lives in room 207, and Mohan Wald owns the room himself. According to the front desk staff , Mohan Wald came with a companion, but that companion was wearing a mask and a hat, and she didn't see the other person's appearance clearly, but her body features were similar to Gary Sane Jr.

Luke asked, "That is to say, they were not kidnapped, and they directed and acted on their own?"

Anthony pinched his forehead, "I always feel that it's not that simple. At that time, three people were missing on the yacht, except for Gary Sane Jr. and his friend Mohan Wald, Mohan Wald's girlfriend was also missing. But the hotel clerk didn't see her."

Luke took advantage of the situation and asked, "Are you worried that the one who was actually kidnapped might be Mohan Wald's girlfriend."

Anthony said, "It is indeed possible, but I can't think of their motivation for doing so for a while."

Luke speculated, "Is it possible that they directed and performed the kidnapping case themselves. But because the kidnapping case was exposed by the media, the three of them could not get the ransom from Gary Sane's father.

So Mohan Ward's girlfriend didn't want to continue and left.

But in order to avoid the police, Mohan Ward's girlfriend dared not show up for a long time, and hid in another place. "

"It's possible what you said." Anthony glanced at his watch, as if he didn't want to guess anymore, and joked, "It's time to become a hero and save our hostages."

Anthony found the front desk of the hotel again, showed a search warrant, and clearly stated that he wanted to enter room 207 to arrest the suspect.

The front desk of the hotel took the initiative to cooperate this time and took out the spare key of room 207.

Anthony looked at the door of the motel, and threw the key aside. The hotel doors are all relatively thin wooden doors, which can be opened with a kick, but the unlocking will be slower.

FBI agents blocked the door to Room 207 from both sides of the wall.

Anthony repeatedly confirmed with the front desk that there were only two people in the room.

Moreover, the hotel rooms are small in size and simple in structure, with only one large bay and toilets, making arrests less difficult.

After comprehensive consideration, Anthony decided to implement the arrest directly.

When everything was ready, a tall FBI agent walked to the door and kicked at the door violently.

"Bang!", the wooden door was kicked open.

"FBI!"

"Stay still, raise your hands."

"Show your hands and let me see."

Accompanied by a sound of scolding, FBI agents broke into the hotel room.

There was a strong smell of alcohol in the hotel room. There were many whiskey and red wine bottles scattered in the room, as well as some leftover pizza and fried chicken boxes.

There were two beds in the room, and a young white man was lying on each bed. Both of them looked hungover and hadn't fully woken up yet.

FBI agents swarmed up, pinned them on the bed, and handcuffed them.

“Safe in the toilet!”

With a greeting, the FBI completely controlled the situation in the room, and the arrest process went smoothly without even encountering a trace of resistance.

At this time, Anthony stood aside with a gloomy face, not only did not have the joy of rescuing the hostages, but looked a little irritable. Just such a self-directed and self-acted kidnapping case made him no progress in the investigation for several days. If Luke hadn't provided the detective's sketch portrait, the FBI might still be kept in the dark.

Angry and feeling fooled, Anthony walked over to the bed, stared at the shorter white man and asked, "What's your name?"

"Gary Sane Jr."

Anthony looked at another white man on the bed, "What about you?"

"Mohan Wald."

"Why are you here?"

Gary Sane Jr. and Mohan Wald looked at each other.

Gary Sane Jr. cleared his throat and said, "The two of us were not in a good mood, so we made an appointment to drink together."

Anthony smiled, "Everyone in Los Angeles knows that you have been kidnapped, but you don't know?"

Gary Sane Jr. shook his head, "There must be some misunderstanding, we didn't watch TV, and we weren't kidnapped.

We were just in a bad mood and ran away from home. "

Anthony stared at the other person's expression, "People who run away from home don't make blackmail calls."

"It may be a blackmail call from someone pretending to be a kidnapper. Maybe it's a liar. Do they have an Indian accent?"

Shit, Anthony can sense this guy is lying.

Luke waved his hand, called Anthony aside, and said softly, "I found two prepaid mobile phones, it's better to interrogate them separately."

Anthony checked the phone and confirmed, "That's right, it's the number used by the kidnappers.

I interrogated Gary Sane Jr.

You interrogate Mohan Wald. "

"OK." Luke waved to Mohan Wald, "come on, let's chat in another place."

Afterwards, Luke took Mohan Wald to another motel. The guy was only wearing a pair of underpants. Luke felt a little hot and gave him a blanket to cover his body.

"Thank you, sir."

Luke sat across from him and said straight to the point, "Tell me, what happened?"

"Uh... as Gary Sane Jr. just said.

He's not in a good mood, so I'll accompany him to a motel to have some drinks and relax. "

Luke took the opportunity to ask, "Why is he in a bad mood?"

"Gary Sane Jr. just graduated last year, and his father hoped that he could enter his own real estate company, but Gary Sane Jr. was unwilling to engage in the real estate industry, thinking it was a sunset industry.

He wants to start a business and do something he is interested in. "

"And then he takes you to a motel to drink away your worries and complain about how short-sighted and old-fashioned your father is?"

"Roughly the same."

"Fuck, you have to use snacks to lie. A rich second generation ran to this kind of crappy place to drink away his sorrows? Do you think I'm an idiot?" Luke pointed to the FBI logo on his chest,

"Do you think we're here to investigate drinking?

We're here to investigate a kidnapping case. "

"It was a misunderstanding, we just ran away from home and were not kidnapped."

"Then why did the parents of Gary Sane Jr. receive a blackmail call, and the kidnappers demanded 10 million dollars on the phone."

"I don't know." Mohan Wald bowed his head.

"You don't know, let me tell you." Luke said sharply, "We found two prepaid mobile phones in the room just now, and one of them is the kidnapper's mobile phone number.

You two are kidnappers. "

Mohan Wald still pretended to be innocent, "We are not kidnappers, and it is impossible for us to kidnap ourselves."

Luke changed the question, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Yes."

"what is her name?"

"Colleen Lopez."

"How are you two feeling?"

"Very good, she is a very thoughtful woman, and we get along very well."

"In that case, why did you kidnap her?"

"We didn't kidnap her."

"Then where is she?"

"I have no idea."

"When was the last time you saw each other?"

"On the yacht on the night of March 10."

"What happened on the yacht that night? Describe it, don't lie."

Mohan Wald shook his head, "I drank so much that night that I can't remember."

"Look up, you are not very good at lying. I can feel your panic, even if you don't tell, we FBI can still find out.

You don't think that an excuse of disappearance can perfunctory us, do you?

It's not going to be that easy. "

Mohan Wald shrank his neck back, seeming a little scared, "OK, I'll tell you.

The kidnapping case was indeed directed and acted by us. There was no so-called kidnapper at all. The blackmail call was also made by Gary Sane Jr. himself, but he used a voice changer.

That's why his father didn't notice. "

"Where did you get the voice changer?"

"We bought it before, and occasionally we would do some pranks or play games, just for fun."

"Why did you direct and act in the kidnapping case yourself?"

"Because of money.

Gary Sane Jr.'s father was a real estate tycoon and very rich. But he was strict with Gary Sane Jr., and only gave him tens of thousands of dollars in pocket money every month, which was not enough at all.

So, he wanted to extort a sum of money from his father.

It's that simple. "

Luke laughed after listening, "I don't believe that a well-educated rich second generation would use such low-level methods."

Mohan Wald nodded, "You are right.

Gary Sane Jr. wouldn't have done it if he was in his right mind, and I wouldn't let him do it, but we drank a lot that night, made blackmail calls in a daze, and there was no turning back I can only make mistakes again and again. "

Luke stared at each other, "Can I take your word for it?"

"Can."

Luke kept observing the other party's expression, feeling that the other party was still hiding the truth.

Obviously, he avoided Luke's question and refused to reveal the whereabouts of his girlfriend.

"Where's Colleen Lopez?"

Mohan Wald's face changed slightly, and he shook his head, "I don't know."

"Is she not with you?"

"No."

"When was the last time you saw him?"

"It should be at the party on the yacht."

"Did she leave the yacht at that time?"

"I can't remember, I was drunk." Mohan Ward's forehead began to sweat.

This made Luke feel even more suspicious. Colleen Lopez's question could still be dug deeper, and he asked tentatively, "Do you know why we were able to find you?"

Mohan Wald shook his head.

"We found the body of Colleen Lopez."

Mohan Wald's body trembled, his head lowered involuntarily.

Sure enough, Luke guessed right, this case is not as simple as a kidnapping case he directed and acted on himself, there should be something else hidden.

He continued to bluff, "Why did you kill Colleen Lopez?"

"No, I didn't kill her."

"According to our investigation, there is more than one person at the scene of the crime. Even if you don't say it, Gary Sane Jr. will say it. If he confesses first, we will be more inclined to accept his confession." Luke persuaded,

"I can feel that you are a smart person.

You should be well aware that if Gary Sane Jr. accuses you of being a murderer, you may spend the rest of your life in prison.

Handsome guys like you are welcome in jail, kind reminder to ask your family to bring extra soap when they visit. "

Mohan Wald shouted, "I really didn't kill it."

Luke said, "After the party, you disappeared with your girlfriend. Now you are alive and your girlfriend is a corpse.

Do you think the jury will believe it? "

Mohan Wald gritted his teeth, his cheeks trembled slightly, but he still refused to let go.

Luke glanced at his watch, "It's been so long, maybe Gary Sane Jr. has confessed.

You even confessed the specific details of your murder..." After finishing speaking, Luke got up and made a gesture to leave.

"Hey, this matter really has nothing to do with me..." Mohan Wald gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, "Gary Sane Jr. did it. He killed my girlfriend."

Luke turned and asked, "Why did he kill Colleen Lopez?"

Mohan Wald scratched his hair vigorously, and said in a hoarse voice, "That day, Colleen Lopez was wearing a red swimsuit, and Gary Sane Jr. thought she was very sexy, so he proposed to play poker with her.

Gary Sane Jr. was not as handsome as I was, and he got Colleen Lopez drunk and took her to the cabin of the yacht, fearing she wouldn't.

Then... Colleen Lopez woke up, she started to fight back, and bit Gary Sane Jr., and the two started fighting.

Gary Sane Jr. was very angry at the time, so he picked up the lamp on the bed and hit Colleen Lopez hard on the head.

Colleen Lopez was dead by the time I got to the room. The situation is out of control.

Gary Sane Jr. turned murderer.

He didn't want to surrender, let alone go to jail, and worried that he would be wanted by the police if he escaped, so he came up with the idea of ​​kidnapping.

He wanted to use the reason of being kidnapped to temporarily escape the police investigation, and he could also extort a sum of money from his father.

When his father pays the ransom, we will appear as victims again. Even if the police find out that Colleen Lopez was killed, it can be said that the kidnappers killed Colleen Lopez.

And the two of us have been imprisoned, and we don't know the specific details of Colleen Lopez's murder, so we can get rid of the suspicion of murder. "
