Chapter 172 Sao Operation (big chapter)
Nolly Plaza.
Today, there will be a memorial service for Angela here.
The memorial service was organized by Angela's agent, Kim.
Kim rushed to the scene around 7:00 in the morning to decorate, photos, flowers, banners, album posters, etc., and Angela's latest album music was playing on the square.
No matter what the reason for Kim's organization of this memorial service is, it is indeed intentional.
Early in the morning, many fans of Angela came here admiringly. Some helped to decorate the scene, some presented flowers, and some wore vampire costumes. Everyone mourned Angela in their own way.
In a Ford Explorer on the east side of the square, Xiao Hei and Luke sat in the car, observing the fans who came to mourn.
Actually, this memorial service was promoted by the police behind the scenes, with the purpose of catching the murderer who killed Angela.
Before, Luke and Xiao Hei went to the Hei Clinic to investigate, found the suspect’s surveillance video, and also got the suspect’s DNA sample, which was identified to match the blood DNA sample found outside the farm.
It can be determined that the man who is being treated for gunshot wounds in the clinic is the person Luke and the others are looking for.
It's just a pity that the suspect was vigilant and did not leave his identity information. Although the police obtained his surveillance photos and DNA, they still could not determine his identity within a short time.
Of course, if a wanted warrant is issued with photos and DNA, the possibility of catching that man is extremely high.
But the key is that the time cannot be determined, and the police cannot wait forever. There are tens of millions of people in Los Angeles. Finding a person among tens of millions of people is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, the police must take the initiative to attack and let the suspect run out by himself.
This memorial service is a well-designed net for the suspect.
Xiao Hei sat in the cab, looking out the window boredly, "Do you think the suspect will really come?"
"Very likely."
Xiao Hei thought for a while, "If it were me, I would definitely not come, it's too dangerous."
Luke said, "So you didn't kill anyone, and you didn't kill your idol."
If everyone in this world was sane and would do logical things, there wouldn't be so many criminals in prisons.
There is always someone special.
Luke profiled the suspect. Judging from the existing evidence, the suspect is likely to be a die-hard fan of Angela and killed Angela for some special reason, but this does not mean that he does not like Angela.
From the fact that he was still holding the silver pendant in his hand during the operation, it can be seen that he still has a deep attachment to Angela.
He didn't know that the police had tracked him down, let alone that the police had obtained his surveillance images, which was the police's advantage.
Luke guessed that once he knew that Angela was holding a memorial service here, he would definitely come to see Angela off for the last time.
Time passed minute by minute, the two of them waited from morning to noon, and from noon to night.
Lunch and dinner are all settled in the car.
At the beginning, there were still many policemen around the square, but because they couldn't wait for the suspect to show up, the patrolmen also withdrew one after another.
By eight o'clock in the evening, only members of the Robbery and Murder Division were left.
Xiao Hei has always trusted Luke more, and Luke is usually the main partner of the two.
But today I have been waiting for more than ten hours in a row.
Marcus couldn't help being a little shaken, did Luke guess wrong this time?
Xiao Hei yawned, "Luke, how long do we have to wait?"
Luke moved his buttocks, "The more you don't rush at this time, half a hundred miles away, now is the time to compare your endurance with the suspect, and you should hold your breath even more at this time."
Xiao Hei said, "You know what? I've been sitting in the car all day, and my **** hurts."
"Then go out for a walk and buy me a cup of coffee, no sugar."
Xiao Hei "..."
At this moment, a man appeared in the square, looking around, acting suspiciously.
Although it was getting dark, the square was still brightly lit.
It can be clearly seen that this is a white man wearing a black cloak.
If it appeared in other places, the man's clothes would look very different, but it is not surprising that he appeared at Angela's memorial service.
Luke glanced at this man, feeling that this man looked like the suspect they were going to arrest.
But Luke couldn't fully confirm it because of the viewing angle and distance.
Luke opened the door and got out of the car.
Xiao Hei followed suit, "Where are you going?"
Luke raised his chin.
Xiao Hei looked in the direction of Luke.
also found the white man in the black cloak.
A white man in a black cloak walked up to the photo mourning Angela.
The man stood quietly in front of the photo, his eyes were red and his expression was sad.
The man stretched out his right hand, as if he wanted to touch Angela's photo, but he retracted his hand half way out, as if he was afraid of something.
At this moment, the white man seemed to have heard the movement, turned his head and looked behind him, and saw a black-haired young man and a black man walking towards him.
He was about to leave, but was stopped by the black-haired youth, "Can I borrow a lighter, buddy?"
The white man said lightly, "Sorry, I don't smoke."
While talking, Luke and Xiao Hei had already confirmed the identity of the white man, who was the injured person they saw in the black clinic.
Xiao Hei made a decisive decision, took out his pistol and shouted at the white man, "lapd, don't move, you are under arrest."
The white man was not too surprised, and said coldly, "You guys used my feelings for Angela to arrest me. It's really shameless."
Xiao Hei was a little dissatisfied, "What do you mean? You say that we are the bad guys. Who killed Angela? Tell me?"
The corner of the white man's mouth twitched, he just glared at Xiao Hei and Luke, but couldn't answer.
Luke took out the handcuffs, "Since you don't want to say it here, let's say it in another place."
After spending a whole day in the sun in this square and eating the wind, he wanted to leave a long time ago.
Knowing that Luke and Xiao Hei had captured the suspect, David, Raymond, and Jenny all gathered around.
The crowd escorted the suspect back to the police station.
After returning to the police station, Jenny and Raymond took the suspect through the detention procedures.
At the same time, DNA samples and tooth marks of the suspect were collected.
Luke and Xiao Hei ate hamburgers, took a break, and prepared to interrogate the suspect.
…
An hour later, the interrogation room of the police station.
The suspect was handcuffed on the interrogation chair, looking around.
Different from the nervousness and panic of other suspects when they came to interrogation, his expression was calm, as if he didn't care much about everything around him.
"Crackling..."
The door of the interrogation room opened, and Xiao Hei and Luke walked into the interrogation room.
Luke sat behind the interrogation table and asked straight to the point, "What's your name?"
"Cavro Terry." The white man responded and asked, "How did you catch me?"
Luke said perfunctorily, "The police are very clear about your crime and the means of committing the crime. It is only a matter of course to catch you."
Cavro glared at Luke, "Why did you arrest me?"
"We suspect that you are suspected of involvement in the homicide."
"What evidence do you have?"
"The police have collected your tooth marks and DNA, as long as you wait for the identification results, they will naturally convict you.
If you plead guilty early now, you can still secure a favorable plea deal.
Believe me, it is better for you to speak up now. "
"I do not know what to say."
Luke asked, "Did you kill Angela?"
Cavro closed his eyes and remained silent.
Xiao Hei said, "Hey, boy, don't think that you can escape legal sanctions by not speaking. We have already got enough evidence. Even if you don't speak, we can still convict you in court."
"You really want to hear me talk."
"certainly."
"Then let me tell you a story."
Luke made a posture of listening attentively. The most feared thing in the interrogation is that the suspect will not speak or respond.
As long as he is willing to speak, he can always be connected to the case. Telling the truth is useful to the police, and telling lies will also be discovered by the police.
Then Cavro fell into memory.
【years ago.
Suburbs of Los Angeles, Vampire Castle.
This is a vampire-themed horror house, located on the south side of the entire playground, backed by a cliff, and never sees the sun all year round.
A ten-year-old boy followed his parents to the playground, looked at the castle with a surprised expression, "Mom, I'm going to play in the castle."
You need to buy another ticket to enter the vampire castle.
The teenager wants to go in to play, but the ticket price is not cheap, and three tickets are beyond the psychological budget of his parents.
The teenager’s mother was worried that her son would be afraid to go in alone, and she was reluctant to buy too many tickets, so she wanted to take her son away. But the young man was persistent and wanted to enter the vampire's castle.
In the end, the teenager's parents compromised.
Bought a ticket for the boy himself, and the boy happily walked towards the vampire castle with the ticket.
With a hiccup, the gate of the castle opened.
There was a gust of wind in the castle, and faint voices rang in my ears. At first it sounds like someone laughing, but when you listen carefully, it sounds like someone is crying, which is very weird.
This aroused the curiosity of the young man, and the young man boldly walked into the castle.
With a bang, the two large wooden doors closed.
At this moment, the boy seemed a little scared.
But now he is clamoring to go out, and afraid of being laughed at, so he can only bite the bullet and move forward.
This is a somewhat decadent small courtyard. The outer walls of the castle are all built of stones, much like the medieval style.
The yard is overgrown with weeds, and some small raised mounds are scattered here and there.
The young man walked around the mound boldly, wanting to pass through here and get out of the castle as soon as possible.
The boy walked through the courtyard and walked to the gate inside the castle.
He boldly pushed open the castle door,
The door is very heavy, and it took a lot of effort to push the two doors open.
The light inside the castle is a little dim, a little damp, and there is a musty smell.
There is a coffin in the hall.
The boy showed fear on his face, but if he wanted to enter the castle and get out from the back of the castle, he had to walk past the coffin.
The boy took a deep breath, and boldly stepped into the castle hall.
The coffin didn't seem to move, and the boy didn't dare to look around again. He always felt like something was staring at him, striding forward to get through here as quickly as possible.
The boy tried to stay as far away from the coffin as possible, and walked against the wall. At the end of the hall, there was another door. The boy pushed the door hard, but this time the door did not move at all.
At this moment, the boy heard a sound.
The sound came from behind, and it sounded like a friction sound. The boy looked back and saw that the coffin he had just passed was moving.
To be precise, the coffin panels are slowly opening.
The atmosphere was extremely tense at this time.
A hand protruded from the coffin, a pale hand with long, blood-red nails.
The boy leaned against the door and slammed on the door vigorously, while staring nervously at the coffin.
I saw a person slowly sitting up in the coffin, his face was pale, without a trace of blood, without the slightest human emotion.
He slowly opened his mouth, revealing two sharp fangs.
"Ah!" The boy was taken aback and completely collapsed.
"Crackling..."
At this moment, the front door opened, and the boy ran in scrambling.
It is considered to have passed this level.
After a while.
There was a sound in the coffin.
The person sitting in the coffin yawned, "Boring."
Look carefully, he is not very old.
Except for the fangs in his mouth and the white powder on his face, he is just an ordinary white boy.
"click..."
The teenager took out a walkie-talkie from the coffin.
A man's voice came from the intercom, "Cavro, this should be the last guest today, pack up and go home early. Don't forget to do your homework."
The boy responded lightly, "Understood, Dad."
Cavro turned off the walkie-talkie and threw it into the coffin, holding his chin. Vampires also need to do their homework? 】
Hearing this, Xiao Hei was startled and said, "Oh, mygod, I thought you were the boy who entered the castle alone, but I didn't expect you to be a vampire."
"Exactly.
Xiao Hei said, "Wow, this should belong to a family business. I envy people who have a family business the most. Your family should be very rich."
Cavro smiled, "Dude, are you good at chatting, and do you like vampires too?"
Xiao Hei agreed, "Of course, but I prefer female vampires."
Cavro said seriously, "Then I recommend you to watch Angela's MV, she is definitely the best female vampire in the world."
Xiao Hei asked, "How did you and Angela meet?"
"Our family's vampire castle is still very famous in Los Angeles. Angela's first vampire-themed MV was filmed at our house.
I also played a vampire in her video. To be exact, it was a vampire whose neck was bitten by her. I've loved Angela's music ever since.
I feel that in her music, I found a bosom friend and a resonance. She is my vampire queen. "
Xiao Hei exclaimed again, "Wow, that sounds like a wonderful relationship."
Cavro said, "Although I know you're talking to me, I still want to communicate with you. You have a quality that makes it easy to relax."
"Thank you for your praise, I didn't know I was so good."
Seeing that Xiao Hei's interrogation was good, Luke didn't interrupt, but occasionally wrote a few words in his notebook to remind Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei glanced at the notebook next to him, "Have you attended Angela's new album release?"
Cavro said, "How could I not go, even if a meteorite will fall to the earth tomorrow, I will go."
"Did you have close communication with Angela that day?"
Cavro shook his head, "I don't want to talk about this anymore."
Xiao Hei said, "Don't be so nervous, buddy, it's just chatting."
Cavro remained silent.
Luke is not in a hurry. He has seen many serious criminals. In order to evade or delay legal sanctions, these people will use various methods to passively respond to the interrogation.
Xiao Hei tried a few more times, but Kavro still didn't speak.
Just then the door of the conference room opened.
Jenny walked in, handed Luke a document, and then whispered a few words.
After Jenny left, Luke tapped the information on the table, "Cavro, your tooth marks have been identified to match the tooth marks on Angela's neck.
You killed Angela and sucked her blood.
You just kept saying that you like Angela and that she is a vampire queen, in my opinion, that's just the case.
are all lies. "
Cavro retorted, "You don't understand anything."
Luke said, "OK, tell me then."
"You also want to play tricks on me."
Luke picked up the identification materials of the tooth marks and walked up to Kavro, "With this information, it is enough to convict you, and there is no need to tell you any more.
You dare not admit that you killed Angela, it can only prove that you have guilt in your heart. "
Cavro still didn't answer.
Luke changed the question, "Do you believe in vampires?"
Cavro laughed, "I asked my dad the same thing when I was 5 years old."
Luke "…"
Cavro continued, "I still remember very clearly that my dad answered in the affirmative at that time.
Yes child, I believe that there are vampires in this world, and you should too. "
Luke changed the topic, "Angela doesn't believe that there are vampires in this world, and even hates vampires.
So, when you discover her true face.
Because of embarrassment, he bit her to death. "
Cavro argued, "I didn't think about killing him, let alone biting him to death. I wanted to give her strength and her first embrace."
Cavro took out the silver pendant from his clothes, "The pattern on this silver pendant is the ceremony of giving the first embrace.
As long as I **** Angela's blood and let her **** my blood, she will become my First Embrace, possess a part of my power, and gain eternal life. "
Luke asked back, "You think you're a vampire."
"This question is very complicated, and the affirmative answer I can give you is that I want to become a vampire.
Want to be a real vampire. "
"Since you are not sure that you are a vampire, why did you give Angela a first hug, and why did you choose that night? Don't you think that time, that place, and that environment were too sloppy"
"Because I thought I had the power of a real vampire that night and became a real vampire, so I was qualified to give Angela First Embrace."
"Why do you think so?"
"Because I drank the holy blood, I can feel my body full of power, an unprecedented power, and I feel like a real vampire. That feeling is really amazing.
After I got this power, I immediately wanted to share it with Angela.
Angela was backstage at the time, and I mustered up the courage to go backstage to find her and heard her quarrel with her manager.
Like you said, Angela doesn't believe in vampires.
She is disgusted with continuing to play fake vampires, and even wants to give up her music career because of this, and will not release vampire-themed albums in the future.
Angela's words hit me hard. I always thought she was my bosom friend. Always thought of her as the vampire queen.
All good things were ruined at that moment.
I don't want to give up, I want to change Angela's mind.
Tell her that there are vampires in this world. I have gained the power of a vampire.
I can bestow her first embrace.
Make her a real vampire too.
So when Kim, her agent, left, I went into the dressing room. "
Speaking of this, Kavro showed reminiscence, and said affectionately, "
She knows me.
It made me a little excited, a little relieved, but more sad. I told her to stick to her dream and believe that there are vampires in this world.
She was unmoved and told me that it was all fake, and she doesn't want to deceive fans anymore.
I told Angela that I got Holy Blood, a blood containing real vampires, and I got vampire powers from Holy Blood.
I am willing to share this power with her and make her a real vampire too. "
Speaking of this, Cavro showed a painful look, "Angela smiled.
At first I thought it was a happy smile, but later I realized it was a mocking smile.
I asked her why she was laughing, and Angela told me that it wasn't Holy Blood at all, it was drugs.
I couldn't agree, and started to argue loudly with Angela.
Angela also drank alcohol at the time, was very emotional, said a lot of bad things about vampires, belittled herself, belittled vampires, and belittled her own music.
Although she didn't accuse me directly, she belittled these things, which is a total negation of me. "
Cavro clenched his fists and looked a little excited, "I was very angry at the time, this is not the Angela I know, not the real vampire queen.
My vampire queen is dead.
I want to change her, let her be my first embrace. "
Cavro slowly opened his mouth, revealing two sharp fangs, and said in a sad tone, "So I bit her, sucked her blood, and drew the pattern of the first embrace ceremony on her body.
Just when I wanted her to drink my blood to complete the first embrace ceremony, I found that she had lost her breath. "
Xiao Hei stepped forward and stared at Kavro's mouth, "Didn't your fangs be taken off?"
While speaking, Xiao Hei used his hands to break Kavro's fangs.
"Hey, what are you doing? You rude bastard. Those are my teeth." Kavro turned his head aside, and spat in disgust.
Xiao Hei said in surprise, "I can't pull it off."
"Fuck! Those are my teeth." Kavro bared his mouth, showing his sharp fangs again.
"I bought it, I bought it, his fangs are real! Not braces!" Xiao Hei was shocked.
"Old hat." Cavro was a little disdainful.
Luke wasn't too interested in it, it was nothing more than a denture.
Cavro's description of the case just now is basically consistent with his speculation.
Lu Ke signaled Xiao Hei to come back, and changed the topic to another doubtful point, "Cavro, where did you get the holy blood?"
"Dulcey sold it to me."
"After you knew that you were deceived, you found Darcy and killed Darcy, didn't you?"
"I didn't hurt Darcy, I just wanted to ask Darcy what the Holy Blood is?
How is it manufactured?
Is it the blood of vampires, or, as Angela said, the holy blood does not have the power of vampires at all, but is mixed with drugs.
This is very important to me, very important! "
Cavro took a deep breath, his tone became serious,
"I started looking for Darcy, I want to figure this out, otherwise, Angela's death will be meaningless
I searched through several vampire fan spots in Los Angeles and finally found Dulcey.
I coerced him to tell the truth and asked him to take me to the place where the Holy Blood was made.
Then Dulce drove me to a farm.
Tell me that the Holy Blood was made there.
Not long after we entered the farm, we were discovered by the guards of the farm. The guards shot at me and wounded my arm.
The pain from the gunshot wound made me instinctively want to run away.
After that, I went to a black clinic to treat my gunshot wound.
That's the way it is. "
Luke pressed, "You didn't kill Dulcey?"
"No."
"Dulcey, why are you making Holy Blood on the farm?"
"He said that the place is relatively remote and not easy to be found by the police."
"Did he say how the Holy Blood was made?"
"I asked, and he said he didn't know, he was only in charge of selling goods, and there were people on the farm who made holy blood."
"Describe the physical characteristics of the farm guard."
"It was dark at the time, so I only knew he was a white man. He should be quite old from the voice. He seemed to be wearing a cowboy hat."
Through Cavro's dictation, the appearance of the farmer Jefferson gradually emerged in Luke's mind.
"Do you think he is Dalsey's accomplice, or does he treat you and Dalsey as thieves?"
"It must have been Dalcey's accomplice, because he only shot at me and didn't shoot at Dulcey at all."
Luke wrote in his notebook, "Have you ever been to a cliff near the farm?"
"No, I'm not familiar with the vicinity at all, and I don't know where there is a cliff."
Luke believed these words to a certain extent. The cliff is very remote, and it is difficult for outsiders to find it.
Even if you encounter it once in a while, you may not be able to find the place if you go for the second time, so the locals are more likely to commit crimes and throw their bodies. "
If Cavro is telling the truth, then the remaining doubts in the case are concentrated on the farmer Jefferson.
As for the farm is the place where the Holy Blood is made, Luke thinks it is very likely. Previously investigated Dalsey's record of purchasing blood plasma.
Purchased 10 liters of plasma in January.
Purchased 20 liters of plasma in February.
Purchased 25 liters of plasma in March.
Purchased 30 liters of plasma in April.
Purchased 10 liters of plasma in May.
Among them, the number of plasma purchases increased from January to April, indicating that Darcy's business is getting better and better, and more and more people are buying plasma.
The amount of blood plasma purchased suddenly decreased in May, or there were new competitors, and the market share became smaller.
Either there is a new plasma purchase channel.
Now it seems that it should be the latter. Except for the ten liters of human blood, the other holy blood is made of cow blood, which is cheaper and safer.
If the replacement with cattle blood does not affect sales, it may be replaced with cattle blood in the future.
Unfortunately, Darcy was killed before he could implement the plan.
Sorry for the late update.
Not feeling well, sick.
Cervical spine is uncomfortable, the back of the head is oppressed, and the head is dizzy.
It started last night, I thought it would be better after a night of sleep.
Who knows that today is still uncomfortable.
Later, I switched to voice typing. Although the efficiency was slow, I still wrote it anyway.
It is to explain to everyone the reason for the late update.
Everyone, don’t discuss the illness.
I'm a timid person, discuss it with you.
Scared the **** out of me.
It will be a bad thing if you don’t dare to code tomorrow.
