Chapter 153 Good Captain
Luke collected his thoughts and continued to ask, "Describe your crime process."
Benson thought for a while, "I used a silencer when I killed Kyle Torres, and it didn't cause a commotion on campus.
After that, I rushed to the Science Building to find Josie, she was my real target.
But before I kill her, I have something to ask her, so need to make a mess around so no one bothers us.
I shot her friend Barbara, and I thought I'd draw her in, but the woman didn't care about Barbara, and hid in the bathroom instead.
It wasn't a bad thing for me, I talked to her in the bathroom and she admitted to reporting me. I asked her how she knew the anonymous account was mine. He said Herman had told her.
solved her.
I was even angrier that my friend Herman betrayed me.
This son of a bitch.
I have always regarded him as my best friend, but he treated me like this.
I knew that Herman might be in the music building, so I went to the music building to find him.
He was a coward, he didn't dare to run away, but waited for rescue in the classroom.
I wounded him and was about to kill him when two wannabe hero idiots came along.
As I said before, the black olive shot at me, and the white olive wanted to attack from behind, but the black olive shot the white olive, and I shot the black olive again, and the problem was solved.
Both of them are idiots.
What made me depressed was that Herman also ran away. I couldn't find him, and I was worried that the police would enter the school, so I ran away first. "
Luke reminded, "Did you forget someone FBI Agent Fanny?"
"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. At that time, I just killed Josie on the third floor, and I was about to go downstairs to find Herman. As soon as I walked down the second floor, I heard someone claiming to be FBI. Let me raise my hand and don't move. .
I jumped, wondering why the FBI came so quickly.
Then I found no one around, so I searched for the sound and saw that the person who claimed to be the FBI was pointing a gun at a student.
I just shot, it's nothing to show off, and the FBI is nothing more than that, hehe. "
Luke flipped through his diary, "Besides wearing a clown mask for the first crime, did you have other disguises?"
Benson smiled, "I put some black dye on my face."
Luke said, "You did a lot of preparation for this shooting."
"That's right, but there was still an accident, otherwise Herman would have died, and there would be no need for me to do it a second time."
Luke said momentarily, "Describe the second shooting."
Benson sighed, "The second shooting incident was not in my plan, and the reason for the impromptu decision is entirely because Herman killed himself and monitored the maintenance.
That morning, I met Herman at school and greeted him normally.
This idiot asked me to help write a speech, saying that he wanted to speak out for the dead of the shooting, but he was actually trying to use the shooting to create momentum and gain points for college admissions.
He also brought up my acceptance to UCLA.
I thought it was ironic at the time.
The shooting case I caused not only did not kill him, but instead became a tool for him to get extra points in the college entrance examination.
I took such a big risk just to allow him to go to college?
Am I stupid X?
No, I can't afford him so cheaply.
I'm getting **** off.
I have the idea of doing it again, but it's just an idea. After all, I'm not ready, and it has happened once, and the risk may be greater the second time.
I entered the teaching building, looked at the monitor habitually, and found that the indicator light of the monitor was not on. The school is full of old-fashioned cameras, and the red light will flash when used normally.
I continued to observe and found that not one camera was in use, but all of them were disabled.
At that time, I had a bold idea to kill Herman and solve this matter completely.
So, I rushed to the student union office with a pistol and a silencer as scheduled.
Shot him twice in the chest, and you all know what happened next. "
Speaking of this, Benson couldn't help asking, "Why is Herman also being carried into the ambulance? Isn't he dead?"
Herman is still in the intensive care unit, and his life and death are uncertain.
Luke said, "You'd better pray that he is not dead, or your crime will be more serious."
Benson showed a self-deprecating look, "Isn't it ironic, the person who most wanted him to die, now wants him to live instead."
Benson pleaded guilty, and the case officially entered the closing stage.
…
May 17th.
Detective Bureau, meeting room of the Robbery and Murder Division.
Rett called everyone to a meeting.
In addition to the members of the first squadron, there is also Kelin Chen, the captain of the second squadron.
Kelin's already serious face looked even uglier.
Originally, the No. 2 Squadron had been in charge of investigating the case of the poisonous rice shooting in the Science Building.
But because of the false confession of the school police, the case fell into a dilemma.
Later, they found out that the drug dealer might be related to the Skeleton Gang, thinking that Parker, the leader of the Skeleton Gang, was the mastermind behind the scenes, and the case has never been solved.
In the end, Luke came from behind.
It was precisely because of his lackluster appearance that the Second Squadron only invited him to attend the meeting.
Rett sat in the middle of the conference table and said with a smile, "You always say that Luke is my confidant and favorite general, and that I am partial to him.
Looking at his performance in these two shootings, I think it's hard not to praise him.
It would be really unfair if I didn't praise him. "
"Cough..." Xiao Hei coughed lightly, his throat seemed to be a little uncomfortable.
Rett seemed to think of something, "By the way, there is also Marcus. He did a great job this time and deserves praise."
Marcus smiled at everyone with his iconic big mouth.
Then, Reid said a few more words, "Of course, everyone in this case worked very hard, and you are all responsible for the successful resolution of the case. I can see it all.
keep it up.
Captain Susan, please describe the case. "
Susan nodded, looked at everyone and said, "First of all, let me tell you about Herman's situation. After a day and a night of rescue, Herman was temporarily out of danger.
According to the doctor, if he was sent to the hospital half an hour late, he would probably die due to excessive blood loss.
His parents are grateful to Luke and the police. "
Xiao Hei said, "Hellman is not popular, and this time is also a lesson for him."
David said, "This lesson is a bit big, and I am afraid it will leave sequelae for the rest of my life."
Xiao Hei said, "It's better than dying. I believe this lesson will change him."
Luke agrees with Xiao Hei's words. If Herman didn't want to use the public opinion of the shooting to gain points for further studies, maybe he wouldn't provoke Benson again, and the second shooting wouldn't happen so soon.
It can only be said that it is self-inflicted.
Susan continued, "The Ministry of the Interior interrogated Campus Officer Selter Polis, who admitted to lying about the shooting.
As for why...
He was afraid of being shot.
This is why he left lapd in the first place.
He thought being on campus would keep him away from criminals, away from shootings and danger.
But I didn't expect a shooting at Malaboa High School.
He didn't know how many gunmen there were, so he didn't dare to confront the gunmen head-on. He hid in the science building, found the dead on the roof, and faked the shooting scene on the third floor.
The window glass on the third floor was also broken with its own gun. The falling glass even stabbed a classmate. This **** really didn't do enough.
After the incident, he was worried about being held accountable, so he chose to lie and forge the scene, making people mistakenly think that he had chased the shooter, but he was unsuccessful. "
Kelin was a little unwilling, "We were all deceived by this bastard.
He is also a policeman, we trust him very much, we did not expect him to forge the scene.
If it wasn't for him...the case wouldn't have dragged on for so long. "
Susan tilted her head slightly, "Luke, how did you find out that the campus police lied?"
Luke was about to say intuition.
Xiao Hei spoke, raising his eyebrows, "He's been learning micro-expression analysis recently, and he's learning it secretly by himself."
Susan laughed, "It seems that the learning results are not bad."
Rett said, "Isn't that what Anthony is most proud of? You can compete with him another day. If you can beat him, I will treat you to dinner."
"I'll try." Luke smiled.
Red added, "By the way, when Anthony leaves, let me help convey my thanks, thank you for catching the murderer who killed Agent Fanny."
Luke asked back, "Why didn't he say it himself?"
Rett laughed, "Do you think it can be said according to that guy's personality?"
The deputy team was a little dissatisfied, "Guys, now is not the time for the commendation meeting, let us talk about the case." The deputy team got up, put a document on the projector,
“According to Benson’s confession, the incident started because of an anonymous account on which he posted some inappropriate remarks, such as ‘If a plain girl thinks she is beautiful, I will beat her up.’”
This anonymous account is completely different from what he usually posts in Moments.
Some of the things he posted in Moments are very positive and loving, such as supporting women, opposing discrimination, etc. The content of the two accounts is very different.
Benson is a typical double-faced, politician face.
It's a pity that he is not mature enough. Anonymous accounts are not safe at all. Even if Herman doesn't report it, there are still other ways to find out.
Of course, he is only seventeen years old after all, so it is understandable to do so.
Once another ten or twenty years pass, when he matures and stabilizes, it will not be so easy to reveal his true face.
He will be a qualified politician.
Luke, thank you for saving the citizens of Los Angeles 20 years from now. "
Luke said, "We are a team, this is everyone's credit, but I have better luck."
Actually, the shooting case is essentially a revenge case triggered by a kind of Z contradiction, but because of the random entry of FBI agent Fanny and the accidental injury of two members of the football team, the case became complicated.
End of the meeting.
Red called Luke to the office and poured him a cup of hand-ground coffee.
"Luke, I don't want to say too much praise, but...you really did a great job. You are the best detective I have seen in recent years."
Luke took a sip of coffee, "Thank you, it tastes good."
"I want to give you another task. If you can complete it, I will nominate you to the city bureau for promotion to the deputy team."
Luke was not stunned by the sudden benefits. The bigger the pie, the harder it is possible to be hit. "What task?"
“The two school Y shootings caused the safety of Los Angeles to be questioned by the outside world, which greatly affected the image of Los Angeles.
At the same time, the Los Angeles Police Department has also fallen into public opinion. Many citizens feel that the police department is not doing anything, and they have mistrust in the police department's ability.
Although the two campus cases have been solved, the negative impact has not been completely eliminated.
Those news media are still hyping up the two shootings. They are like piranhas, as long as they smell blood, they will tear each other up desperately.
We must fight back and win this public opinion war. "
Luke asked back, "What does this have to do with me?"
"I want you to attend the press conference together."
"Why?"
"You should know what those media wrote about you. You are a showman, an exhibitionist, and even encourage the parents of students to sue you. They don't even know that you caught the murderer, let alone that you saved Herman, and they don't care .
What they care about is how to write news so that more people will pay attention and the ratings will be higher.
Are you willing? "
"No, I'm going to sue them? I'm already contacting a lawyer."
"Good, but not enough.
Your image has been tied to the Los Angeles Police Department. We must fight back. This battle concerning the honor of the police department must be won. "Red waved his fist, and his passionate tone was very encouraging.
It can be both money and promotion, and Luke can't think of a reason to refuse.
As for losing?
How can it be.
He is the hero who went to school alone to solve the shooting.
Of course, Luke will not admit that he is a hero, which is a double-edged sword.
I don’t recognize it, so it doesn’t prevent others from saying it.
…
The afternoon of May 18th.
The police department held a press conference.
Director Reid spoke on stage first, and he was the first to announce that the two school shootings had been successfully solved and the murderer had been arrested. At the same time, the police also rescued a victim in time in the second shooting.
As Director Reid announced that the case had been solved, the reporters who originally wanted to find fault could no longer question the capabilities of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Then a black female reporter shifted the topic to Luke, "Director Rhett, we photographed a man with L **** at the scene of the school shooting, is he lapd?"
"Yes."
The black female reporter questioned, "I want to ask, why did he take off his shirt, is he trying to deter the gunman with his muscles? How effective is it?"
haha..." There was a burst of laughter around.
Rett smiled politely, "Good question, he happened to be there too, why not let him answer it himself."
Rett beckoned, motioning for Luke to come on stage.
Luke stepped onto the stage and cleared his throat, "I'm Inspector Luke from the Robbery and Murder Division, and I'm also the guy you call an exhibitionist. Give me one, thank you."
"Haha..." There was another burst of laughter.
The black female reporter asked again, "Inspector Luke, you are very confident in your figure, but I can't figure out why you took off your top on that occasion."
"what is your name?"
"Pari Jones."
"Miss Jones, I can tell you officially that I am not an exhibitionist." Xiao Hei opened a schoolbag, and Luke took out a transparent plastic bag from the bag, which contained a blood-soaked dress.
"This is what I was wearing that day, Miss Jones, do you want me to leave campus in this?"
Pari Jones said, "I remember you were not hurt that day."
Luke explained, "The blood on the clothes was indeed not mine, but the shooter's. I wounded his arm. In order to prevent him from bleeding too much, I took off my clothes to stop the bleeding."
At this time, Director Reid stepped onto the stage, "Ladies and gentlemen, I must add that Inspector Luke not only wounded the shooter, but also saved the victim of the shooting. Is this what you call an exhibitionist?"
Pari Jones still seemed unwilling, and asked, "I heard that the victim was also shot. Why did you use your shirt to stop the gunman's bleeding instead of the victim?"
Luke replied, "The first reason is that I wounded the shooter before I learned the whereabouts of the victim from him.
The second reason, the victim’s gunshot wound was more serious, I tore off the school curtain to help him stop the bleeding, that was more useful. "
Another white female reporter posted, "So you are not an exhibitionist, but a hero!"
"No, I'm not a hero, I'm just a member of lapd, fulfilling my duty.
After get off work, I’m just an ordinary Los Angeles citizen. I like to drink, watch beautiful women, and quarrel with others. "
Luke's words were rough, but kind, and again aroused laughter.
Black female reporter Pari Jones exclaimed, "Wow, you wounded the suspect and rescued the injured immediately, so you acted alone, just like the lone hero in the movie?"
There is a needle in the words.
Luke is a lone hero, what are the other police officers?
“The entire No. 1 Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division is investigating the shooting, but everyone investigates in different directions. My colleagues are also excellent, and we are a team.
My partner Marcus was always by my side, otherwise, I would not have been able to shoot the suspect and rescue the victim at the same time.
Of course, I am the best one, no doubt about it. "Luke didn't want to be labeled a hero.
But if you should perform, you must also perform, and you must fight for your own credit.
Luke spread his hands, "Any more questions?"
Seeing that there were no more questions from reporters, Luke got off the podium.
Red patted Luke on the shoulder, "That's right, I'm still worried that you will have stage fright?"
Luke smiled, "You are right to worry, my legs are shaking badly, luckily I am wearing a pair of loose pants."
Rhett laughed, "You'll get used to it."
"I hope so."
The two walked aside, and Reid said, "By the way, there is one more thing to tell you. The Sea Fishing Club has approved your application. I will notify you of the next meeting."
"when?"
"There is no exact time, anyone who has time can participate. As an introducer, I will take you there for the first time."
Luke nodded, "Sounds good, do I need to do something?"
"Have you ever fished in the sea before?"
“I fish occasionally, but never at sea.”
"It's okay, I'll get used to it after fishing twice."
"Can you drive a yacht?"
"No, but it sounds cool."
"It's pretty cool, this must be learned."
"Why?" Luke was a little puzzled.
"We don't take the crew with us every time we go to sea. Someone has to drive the boat. If you don't drive it? Do you want me to drive it?"
Luke "…"
"Is there a problem?"
"No."
"Good, I believe, you will be a good captain."
Thanks for the reward from book friends!
