Chapter 152 Guilty Plea
There was another shooting at Malaboa High School.
This news quickly became headlines in Los Angeles, California, and even the United States.
Two school shootings within a week, the news is not very friendly to the police and FBI.
Many people began to question the inaction of the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI, and the impact was very bad.
The students were panicked, the citizens were very angry, and the journalists rushed to the school gate like chicken blood, and the speed was no slower than the police.
However, the shooting happened suddenly and ended suddenly.
After a gunshot, the campus returned to calm again.
Several injuries were also caused by wrestling and stampede.
Soon, the police announced that the suspect in the shooting had been arrested.
too fast.
The speed with which this shooting was solved shocked everyone.
Some people even suspect that this is fake news deliberately spread by the police in order to divert public dissatisfaction.
The reporter has been asking about the process of the shooting, but the police did not respond positively to this, but will hold a press conference after evading it.
Herman and Benson were sent to the ambulance successively, the difference was that one was carried in and the other was handcuffed.
Luke also followed out of the school.
As soon as Luke appeared, he immediately attracted a burst of crazy shots from the reporters.
At first Luke thought that the reporter knew that he had caught the shooter.
But it feels a bit sour later.
"Wow, how did that man walk out of school with his upper body shirtless? Is he an exhibitionist?"
"Didn't you see the gun and badge on his waist? It must be a cop."
"Lapd is also perverted."
"You are right, this is considered harassment to underage female classmates."
"If I were a parent, I would definitely sue him."
A female reporter said, "However, he has a great figure and is quite handsome. He is my favorite."
The male photographer next to him nodded, "It's also mine."
Hearing these gossips, Luke's face turned blue, and he took out a spare shirt from the car and put it on, and the reporters gave up following.
Xiao Hei squeezed his eyes, "How is the celebrity treatment?"
"It's not bad, it would be even better if there is a girl for a kissing scene." Luke didn't bother to talk to him, and got into the car directly.
The gunman Benson and the victim Herman were both admitted to the hospital because they were shot.
There is no way to interrogate today.
Luke went home directly after reporting to Rhett and Susan.
Back home, Luke took a hot shower.
I just got out of the shower, and when I was drying my hair, I heard the outside door knock.
Here comes the fat man and Linda.
"Mom, why are you here?" Luke was a little surprised.
Linda breathed a sigh of relief, "We have been calling you, but if you don't answer, we will come.
Are you OK? "
"It's okay, I was taking a shower just now."
Luke looked at the phone, not only the mother and the little fat man were calling, but Daisy was also calling.
"Why do you think there is something wrong with me?"
The little fat man said, "We saw the news about the shooting. You came out of school with your upper body shirtless. We thought something happened to you."
"No, I shot and wounded the suspect, and used my shirt to stop his bleeding. I can't come out in a **** shirt.
You sit by yourselves, and I'll make a call. Luke stepped aside, called Daisy, and told her he was fine.
Daisy was still worried, saying that she would come to see him after get off work in the evening.
After listening to this sentence, Luke can be said to have mixed joys and sorrows, and he was happy to feel Daisy's concern.
But what the **** is he coming to see him after get off work? Work is so important?
After hanging up the phone, Luke realized, "I'm on TV."
The little fat man said, "yes, a reporter called you an exhibitionist, and said that the parents of the students should sue you for harassment."
"Sue me? I'll sue him." Luke wasn't angry when he heard that, but wanted to laugh instead.
Didn’t these two idiots hit their guns?
Another chance to make money.
Since the mother and the little fat man came, Luke didn't let them go, and ordered takeaway to eat with them.
After the meal, the three of them watched the news together, and Luke watched all the reports from several TV stations.
These TV stations are not only from Los Angeles, but also from other states.
One TV station is the most hateful, describing him as an exhibitionist, and saying that he has damaged the image of the police station, suggesting that the police station fire him.
Luke wrote down the name of this TV station, CBE TV station.
In the evening, Linda took the little fat man home.
Not long after, Daisy came to Luke's house.
The two opened a bottle of red wine, took a mandarin duck bath together, and came to play with a mandarin duck.
After the incident, Daisy asked about the shooting, Luke briefly described it, and asked her about suing the news TV station.
After getting an affirmative answer from Daisy, Luke had an idea in his mind.
Let Daisy secretly collect false reports from journalists. As long as the police station holds a press conference and the truth is revealed, Daisy will sue the relevant news TV station on his behalf.
Thinking that he might make a lot of money this time, Luke was in a good mood, and played poker with Daisy again.
I fell asleep after being tired.
…
The next morning.
Both of them missed their sleep, and it was past eight o'clock when they opened their eyes.
Daisy left two changes of clothes at Luke's house, put on new clothes and went straight to work.
Luke strolled to the community square, Xiao Hei also drove there, and the two had breakfast in the square.
Luke, a fried dough stick, a tea egg, a tofu brain, a meat clip, a glass of milk.
After eating, the two went directly to Nidaxi Hospital.
The two of them are very familiar with this hospital, and they often go here to take notes.
Suspect Benson Bolt was assigned to Ward 407.
There were two police officers guarding the outside. Luke and the two showed their police badges and registered before entering the ward.
Luke pushed the door open and entered the room, and greeted with a smile, "Hey, Benson, how did you rest last night?"
Benson shook his left hand, which was handcuffed on the hospital bed, "Do you want to try?"
Xiao Hei said, "Boy, you will miss your life here soon, as I said."
Benson glared at Xiao Hei, "I don't want to talk to you, nigger."
Xiao Hei's face became a little ugly, "Bastard, you can easily get beaten for saying that."
Benson said nonchalantly, "The left cheek or the right cheek, it's up to you. If you don't hit you, you're a nigger."
"Fuck!"
Xiao Hei gestured his middle finger, and asked Luke beside him, "Obviously you caught him, why does he have a deeper resentment towards me?"
Luke smiled, "I'm more handsome than you."
Xiao Hei "..."
Generally speaking, Luke's attitude towards criminals is relatively tough, but it also depends on the situation. Benson doesn't need to argue with him in this situation. His crime is very serious and he is likely to be sentenced to death.
This is also the reason why he dared to hate Xiao Hei.
It is not worthwhile to argue with this kind of person. The best way is to cooperate with each other.
Luke sat next to the hospital bed and said earnestly, "Benson, everyone has their own mission in this world. We are the police. Our mission is to catch criminals. We don't intend to target anyone. There is too much hostility.
Things have come to this point, we should move on, don't you think? "
Benson curled his lips, "Are you the new psychological counselor?"
Luke said, "The counselor can't help you reduce your sentence, but I can. As long as you are willing to assist the police in the investigation, we can help you apply for a good plea agreement."
Benson hesitated for a moment, "What plea agreement?"
"As long as you plead guilty to killing Josie Alyssa, FBI agents Fanny Zaris, Kyle Torres, and shooting Herman, we can acquit you of the charge of shooting Barbara Damb, consider one time."
Benson shook his head, "It's not enough, I might be sentenced to death."
Luke handed over a plea agreement, "From what I know of the prosecution, this is the biggest concession they can make. Although there is no guarantee that you will not be sentenced to death, it is at least good news.
As long as your parents are willing to spend money to help you hire a good team of lawyers, there is still a chance..."
Benson fell silent, closing his eyes as if thinking.
After a long time, "How did you know I would shoot Herman again yesterday?"
"I have studied criminal psychology profiling. Through the understanding of the case, the analysis of the scene, and the combing of new clues, I speculate that you may use this opportunity to modify the monitoring line to commit crimes again.
Of course, this is just speculation, not too sure.
Xiao Hei's eyes widened, what? Criminal Minds Profile?
This guy is learning something new behind my back?
God, I'm so stressed.
Benson picked up the coffee cup next to the table and took a sip of coffee, "Although I know you're talking nonsense, I still want to say, he should be damned."
"I'm curious, how did he offend you?"
"I say now, will that plea deal stand?"
"Of course, I have no reason to deceive you."
Benson organized the language, "After I was admitted to high school, my parents set a goal for me to be admitted to UCLA. For this purpose, we made a four-year plan. During this period, I paid a lot and paid a lot. not easy.
But it's all worth it.
Some time ago, I got an admission letter from UCLA. I was very happy, and my parents were also very happy. The four years of hard work have not been let down, and I succeeded.
This will be the real starting point of my life, and I will have a bright future.
However, half a month ago, UCLA withdrew the admission letter, and I was dumbfounded at the time.
Why?
Why would they do this?
The reply they gave me was that I made some remarks on the Internet that disrespected black people and disrespected women. "
Benson let out a long sigh, as if he still couldn't let it go, "My first reaction was that it was impossible. In order to get an offer from UCLA, I paid great attention to my words, which was in line with the so-called correctness. My parents have always asked me to do so. .
Although, I am a little disgusted and scoff, but this hypocritical society likes this set.
This kind of remarks can also add points to college admissions. I think they got it wrong. I want to appeal.
But this time, they told me clearly.
Appeals are unlikely to succeed.
Someone reported me using an anonymous account to post on the Internet with my real name. The school also confirmed this, saying that my remarks were indeed problematic and would have some bad influence on society.
It does not conform to the teaching philosophy of UCLA, so the offer will be withdrawn.
I'm very sad, but I also know that I can't change it, because I do have an anonymous account, not only me, but many people have it.
Who in this hypocritical society doesn't need an authentic outlet.
I just didn't expect the impact to be so great, let alone being reported.
I can't guess who reported me.
Until, I found a comment under the anonymous account, ‘I heard that your university offer has been withdrawn, how do you feel?
I'm so mad, I want to kill someone.
I didn't tell anyone about this, and I won't tell anyone.
The person who knows about this is most likely the whistleblower.
Plus I have a little grudge with the commenter, I know...she did it. "
Luke guesses, "Josie the cheerleader?"
"That's right, it's this bitch. I don't know what else she can do other than twisting and turning in front of men all day long."
"What's the grievance between you?"
"I don't know her, and I haven't had direct contact with her, but...a photo I sent caused her dissatisfaction. Can I borrow your mobile phone?"
Luke handed him the phone and stood aside to stare.
Benson opened the school website of Malaboa High School, clicked on one of the posts, and the title was 'Are they different? '
The content of the post was just a picture of a chimpanzee standing next to two black students.
Xiao Hei's anger level soared again, "You really deserve a beating!"
Benson moved his face closer, "You are always welcome."
Luke regretted bringing Xiao Hei here, and separated him, "Man, why don't you go out for a while, huh?"
Benson returned the phone to Luke, and continued, "Josie is also a very good hype person, she grabbed this picture and portrayed herself as a victim in order to seek justice for black people.
Still asking about my real identity in the comments, calling me a coward and not daring to verify my real name.
I don't bother to talk to her.
This woman is not forgiving, saying in the comments that if someone finds out my real identity, he can date her?
Bitch bitch, who wants to date a chimpanzee? "
Speaking of this, Benson's face was a bit ugly, "But there is no shortage of lowly men in this world, and Herman is.
This **** has a good relationship with me. He may have guessed through some clues that I am the owner of the anonymous account.
Sold me out, sold me to that bitch.
Bichi reported me.
cost me my acceptance to UCLA.
I lost everything I dreamed of, lost everything.
I can't forgive and won't let them go! "
“So on May 10th you had the first shooting.”
"Exactly."
"Do you have any accomplices?"
"Yes, Kyle Torres."
Luke was a little surprised, "The poisonous rice who died on the roof of the Science Building?"
"Yes, this **** likes to trouble me very much. He started to trouble me since he was 9 years old. Before the crime happened, he asked me to borrow money. He said it was a loan. The key depends on how you understand it.
I can see that he is in a hurry this time and needs money very much.
I told him that I could give him some money, but he was going to do me a favor and destroy the school's electrical system.
He was a little surprised at the time and asked me why I did this?
I said that the purpose of the power outage was to destroy the school's network system, modify credits and files, so that I could go to a good university.
Of course I lied to him. I was worried that people would see me destroying the power supply system.
That idiot doesn't understand these things at all, and doesn't care about them, he only has money in his eyes.
Kyle Torres destroyed the power supply system, and then we made an appointment to meet on the rooftop of the Science Building. He thought I was here to give money, so I shot and killed him. "
Luke thought about the silencer, "Is Kyle Torres the first victim of the shooting?"
"I must kill him first, otherwise, he will definitely betray me, he must die, and he deserves to die.
He has been bullying me since the ninth grade, he is a jerk, beats up male classmates, harasses female students, steals money, drinks alcohol, takes drugs, and it is said that he is independent.
I even feel that I am killing harm for the people. "
Luke thought of the campus police, and continued to ask, "Do you have any other accomplices?"
"No."
"Have you ever been to the rooftop of the Science Building?"
Benson shrugged, "Do you think I still have a reason to go?"
"Did you encounter campus police during your shooting?"
"No."
"you sure?"
"Sure. I took the campus police into consideration. He has always been my imaginary enemy, and it is also where I worry about possible accidents.
But he didn’t show up from the beginning to the end of my crime. Instead, there were some other small accidents. The black-balled quarterback even shot me.
However, he was an idiot. He missed me and killed his teammate instead.
Black people are simply unreliable. "
Xiao Hei's face turned even darker.
Luke said, "Benson, don't be so absolute, Detective Marcus is very reliable.
I trust him a lot.
White people are just as unreliable, just like the school policeman, have you ever thought about the reason why he never showed up during your crime? "
Xiao Hei puffed out his chest, and echoed, "You are right, that campus policeman is indeed unreliable.
The second shooting happened yesterday. I followed your reminder and kept paying attention to the campus policeman, but I never saw him.
He didn't come along until the patrolmen came to support him. This guy is even more courageous than a mouse. "
Marcus's remarks seemed to be spit, but they hit the point.
Before, Luke always thought that the campus police were the murderer's accomplices, and worried that he would secretly take action in the second shooting incident, but he did not take any action from beginning to end, and did not even appear at the scene of the crime.
There is a problem here.
School Police The school police is responsible for maintaining school order and protecting the safety of teachers and students.
He has law enforcement power within the school.
There was a shooting incident inside the school. He should rush to the scene immediately to protect the safety of students and teachers.
But he didn't, he's remiss.
Luke probably guessed the reason why the campus police lied. He was not a suspect in the shooting, nor did he intentionally mislead the police to investigate the case. Instead, he maliciously fabricated a story about chasing the gunman in order to cover up his retreat and keep his job. story.
His behavior violated his duties and the trust of teachers and students, and at the same time indirectly affected and misled the police investigation.
If this kind of scum is not kicked out of the police force, there will be endless troubles.
Finding out this matter is considered to have solved a mystery in his heart.
It also indirectly proves the accuracy of micro-expression analysis skills.
I also have more confidence in this new skill.
