Chapter 19 Business trip
Daisy showed a nervous look, "Do you think his accomplices will still look for me?"
"I can't say for sure. Those just now were all my speculations." After Luke's voice fell, two waiters came over with wooden trays. Luke's was a lamb chop set meal, and Daisy's was a steak set meal.
There are three lamb chops on the plate, fried eggs, pasta, broccoli, snow peas, and cherry tomatoes.
Luke originally liked to eat meat, and he can still adapt to the diet here after crossing. If you don’t like meat, it’s better not to come abroad.
Luke took a bite of the lamb chops, which were juicy and delicious.
Daisy took a bite of beef and put down her knife and fork, "What should I do?"
Luke took a sip of water and said, "If my guess is correct, you should have something they want, something very important."
Daisy said helplessly, "I really don't know what they are looking for?"
"Will it be related to the lawsuit you are accepting or the client?"
"I do have a few cases in my hands, but they are all normal cases, and it stands to reason that this kind of thing will not happen."
"Tell me about the case you are handling now."
"Oh..." Daisy was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I signed a non-disclosure agreement, according to the regulations, I can't disclose the situation of the case and the client, I'm really sorry."
Lawyers are obliged to keep confidentiality for their clients. From a professional point of view, there is no problem, but Luke still feels uncomfortable. I will give you advice, but you still have to hide it from me.
There is no problem in the system, but I feel uncomfortable emotionally.
Luke suddenly felt a lack of interest. He helped because he had a good impression of Daisy. I talk about human relationships, but you talk about systems.
"I understand... However, it is difficult to make further analysis based on the existing clues. I suggest you call the police."
"Aren't you the police? Can't you help me continue the investigation?"
"I want to help you too, but right now it's just monitoring power outages, and your office hasn't lost any valuables. It's hard to prove that someone has entered your office. This kind of situation is usually handled by the police." Not only lawyers have systems, but the police have them too. .
"The suspect Tim has pleaded guilty, the chain of evidence is strong, and theoretically the robbery has passed the investigation stage. Unless there are new leads, such as someone breaking into your office, and it proves to be related to the robbery, we can Restart the investigation, otherwise I have no right to continue the investigation."
Daisy bit her **** red lips, a little nervous, "What if the suspect and his partner continue to hurt me?"
"You don't need to be too nervous. What you said just now is just speculation and has no factual basis. Pay more attention and call 911 as soon as possible."
After dinner, Luke went back to the police station, rushing is not business, especially investigation.
Luke is never indifferent to those who are unwilling to cooperate with the police.
…
After one o'clock in the afternoon.
Robbery and Murder Division, Conference Room.
Susan sat at the main seat, glanced at the team members on both sides, and asked, "David, Luke, is there any progress from the informant?"
David lowered his head, not intending to respond.
Luke replied, "We met the informant Harry. He didn't find Tony's whereabouts. However, we learned from him that Tony has a friend named William. We made a record for William."
"The two have known each other for more than ten years. Tony rarely mentioned his family in Nevada, and occasionally he only talked about his wife and children when he was drunk, but official information did not show that he was married..."
Marcus grinned his black lips and said, "For the low-level people, getting married doesn't mean they have to register and get a certificate. They don't care about **** official certificates. Tony once had a woman who fell in love, and the two had a child, but because Tony Women leave him because of poor life or other reasons. This kind of thing is too common."
"Marcus, I know you know more about the ghetto, but hear me out, OK?"
Luke continued, "According to William, every year a man with good financial conditions will visit Tony. This man drives a BMW X5. The two should have known each other for many years, but the specific relationship is not clear.
One more thing, Tony seems to have an aversion to the police. "
Marcus said, "Yeah, this is a common problem of criminals."
Luke was a little upset, "You say it or I say it?"
Marcus made a please gesture.
"Before, I found a package bag that was suspected to be stained with D products at Tony's house. Tony should still be smoking. But I learned from William that Tony's financial conditions are not bad. I suspect that he may have other sources of income. So far That’s what happened.”
Susan listened, "Deputy team, what do you think?"
Vinson thought for a while, "For a person who is not financially rich, D is a big expense. If Tony has other financial channels, it may be through robbery, which can be regarded as one of the motives for committing the crime.
If Marcus's hypothesis is correct, Tony has a woman and child whom he loves so much and then leaves him for some reason, and Tony turns love into hate.
From the method of committing the crime, it can be seen that the suspect was not just a robbery, but also had a revenge mentality. If the speculation is true, the physical characteristics of the victim are likely to be similar to the woman Tony loves deeply. They are all white women with long blond hair.
This is also his second motive for committing the crime. "
The deputy team took a sip of coffee and continued, "The third point is that Tony has not been in touch with his relatives in his hometown for so many years, coupled with his characteristics of hating the police, it means that he may have committed a crime in his hometown.
I suggest going to his hometown to investigate. If he has not committed a crime in his hometown, he will probably flee to his hometown to hide after leaving Los Angeles.
If he had committed a similar case in his hometown, he might be able to find other clues. "
Although the deputy team is old and not as mobile as the young people, they have no experience in handling cases, which coincides with Luke's point of view.
Although Susan had a dispute with the deputy team, she still recognized his ability to handle the case, and ordered, "Marcus, Jenny, you two are responsible for investigating the situation of Tony's wife and children.
Raymond, you are in charge of investigating the rich man's clues.
David, Luke, you go to Nevada to investigate clues about Tony's hometown. "
Going to a different place to investigate the case, traveling long distances is very hard, Luke is very experienced in this, "Captain, can you change the task?"
Susan said blankly, "What do you think?"
…
After the meeting, Luke found Susan.
"Captain, I want to talk to you about the robbery last Thursday."
"come in."
The two entered the office and sat down with the host and guest.
Susan picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea, "You don't want to use this case to negotiate terms with me because you don't want to go to Nevada."
"I didn't mean that. I met the victim Daisy yesterday and learned something new from her." Luke briefly recounted the conversation between her and Daisy.
Susan asked back, "Do you think the monitoring power outage is related to the robbery?"
"I'm not sure either, it's just a guess. If you think it's necessary, I can investigate."
Susan nodded, "Then I'll go to Nevada to investigate with someone else?"
Luke laughed, "I have no problem."
Susan rarely forced a smile, "No!
I will contact Miss Daisy, don't worry. "
