Chapter 266 is him
Since ancient times, people's hearts are the most unpredictable.
Luke understood this sentence very early on, and roughly guessed Jin Xiuhui's motive for committing the crime.
When Jin Xiuhui was young, she had better conditions than her cousin Li Shan, and she has been helping her cousin.
There is a certain relationship between the two.
But the world is full of changes, and so are the relationships between people.
With the help of Kim Soo-hye, Lee Sun-mi gained a firm foothold in Los Angeles, found a good husband, and her life is getting better and better and richer.
On the contrary, Jin Xiuhui's life is still stagnating, and she even divorced her husband.
Before the interrogation of Kim Soo-hye, Luke also did some research on her situation.
Jin Xiuhui's financial situation is actually not bad. Although she and her ex-husband divorced, they can get alimony every month. Even if she doesn't go out to work, she can still guarantee her basic life.
People are afraid of comparison.
Seeing that my life is muddled, my cousin's life is getting more and more prosperous, and she even became the owner of a supermarket. The identities and circumstances of the two have also changed unconsciously.
In the past, she was inferior to her cousin in all aspects, but now she is worse than herself in everything, and Jin Xiuhui inevitably had a gap in her heart.
It’s okay if the two don’t meet each other, but both of them live in the Korean-American community and meet a lot, and this sense of gap comes to mind every day.
After a long time, psychological problems are prone to appear.
To sum it up in one sentence, it's not that Jin Xiuhui doesn't want her cousin to be better, but she just doesn't want her to live a better life than herself.
The poisoning case that is really difficult to detect is the random poisoning case. There is no grievance, no benefit, and the poisoner does not know who will be poisoned to death.
This kind of case is the most difficult to find clues.
The red wine poisoning case is not a random poisoning case, so it is not difficult to solve it.
Because this kind of purposeful poisoning case is often accompanied by interests and grievances.
For example, ask who the victim has conflicts with, or who has a conflict of interest, and those who can benefit have the motive of committing the crime, and they may be poisoning suspects.
Summary is to benefit yourself at the expense of others.
The difficulty of this case is that Jin Xiuhui and her cousin have no conflicts or conflicts of interest.
To put it bluntly, she did not have a clear motive and could not gain practical benefits from this poisoning case.
Even if Luke told Li Sunmi that Kim Soo Hye poisoned the Gangnam Supermarket, the other party might not believe it.
Jin Xiuhui belongs to the category of harming others and benefiting oneself.
It doesn't matter if I don't get benefits, as long as you have losses and you are unhappy, I will be happy.
This kind of psychology is terrible, and it is not necessary.
But not uncommon.
It's just that many people exist in the thinking stage.
The person who is really suffering at this stage is you, and the other party doesn't know it.
And Kim Soo Hye did.
The result is that both are miserable.
Once the motive of the other party is clarified, the whole case will become clear.
Luke continued the interrogation, "Describe what happened to you in detail."
Jin Xiuhui wiped her nose with a tissue, "You guessed it just now."
"You need to tell it yourself."
"Huh..." Jin Xiuhui let out a long sigh, "I really don't want to remember any more."
"You have to do this." The red wine poisoning case was just a foretaste, and the really important thing was the Weisen brand mineral water poisoning case.
The two poisoning cases both occurred in Shanyuan Supermarket, and the time was close, and the methods were similar. Based on Luke’s experience, it cannot be a coincidence, and there must be some kind of connection.
It may even be the same poisoner.
So, the tough battle has just begun.
"Can I have a cup of coffee?"
Luke nodded.
Xiao Hei poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Jin Xiuhui.
"Thank you." Jin Xiuhui picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then said slowly, "I bought red wine at Wiggins supermarket in advance, and put the laxative in the red wine.
During that time, I was conflicted and hesitated to do this.
I also know that there are certain risks, so I thought about giving up.
One day I received a notice that there will be a power outage around the supermarket on August 3rd. I know that the cameras in Jiangnan Supermarket will also be out of power. This is an opportunity.
That bad thought got the upper hand again. "Jin Xiuhui showed remorse, and wiped her tears again,
"At eleven o'clock that night, I packed three bottles of poisoned red wine into a backpack and took them to Jiangnan Supermarket...I left after that.
I thought no one would know, and no one would see.
But an accident happened the next day, and the Jiangnan Supermarket was stolen.
I also regretted it at the time... I knew it was the result, why would I take the risk of poisoning.
I was also worried that I would be seen by others, but after more than ten days there was no movement, so I was relieved.
Until you find Jiangnan Supermarket...
I'm really stupid. Why do I do this kind of thing? Not only is it not good for me, but I also worry about it all day long.
I regret it to death, woo woo..."
With this confession, the red wine poisoning case is almost certain.
Luke listened carefully, recorded the main points in a notebook, and continued to ask,
"Tell me about the second poisoning case?"
Jin Xiuhui asked back, "What is the second poisoning case?"
“Two cases of poisoning occurred in Shanyuan Supermarket, the first case was the poisoning case of Kafirah brand red wine, and the second case was the case of poisoning case of Weisen brand mineral water.
Describe the reason and process of your second crime. "
"No, I did not poison the Shanyuan supermarket, not even once. I have nothing to do with the Weisen mineral water poisoning case." Jin Xiuhui denied.
Luke stared at the other party's expression, "The two cases happened at the same place, at a similar time, and with similar modus operandi. You say that it has nothing to do with you. Do you think the jury will believe it?"
"I really haven't done it.
I’ve read the news, but it really has nothing to do with me. I’ve admitted to the Kafila red wine poisoning case. You can’t pour dirty water on me anymore. I really have nothing to do with the mineral water poisoning case. "
"Have you ever bought Weisen brand mineral water?"
"No."
"Did you go to the subway station to put poisonous mineral water?"
"Really do not have."
"Do you know who poisoned the Weisen mineral water?"
"have no idea."
Luke asked several questions one after another, and did not see signs of lying in the other party's expression.
Could it be that the other party has nothing to do with the Weisen mineral water poisoning case?
Could it be that my speculation was wrong? The two poisoning cases just happened to happen at the same place, at a similar time, and with similar techniques.
Coincidence is not impossible, but the probability of this is really low.
There are many coincidences, but the deep connections and laws cannot be seen.
Luke calmed down and thought, assuming his speculation is correct, the two poisoning cases are indeed related, and assuming that Jin Xiuhui did not lie, she has nothing to do with the mineral water poisoning case.
Where is the connection between these two cases?
Shanyuan Supermarket.
Luke suddenly thought of something, and asked abruptly, "You said before that you put three bottles of poisoned red wine in Jiangnan Supermarket?"
"Yes."
"Are there any fingerprints left?"
"No, I do it all with gloves on."
This is a problem. According to Rocky, he stole two boxes of kafera red wine from Jiangnan Supermarket. Osmond, the owner of Shanyuan Supermarket, also bought two boxes of kafera red wine. One box contained six bottles. Twelve bottles.
Among them, Shanyuan Supermarket sold six bottles of red wine, and there are still six bottles of red wine in the warehouse. Luke had someone identify them, and the remaining six bottles of red wine were not poisoned, nor did they show signs of damage to the package.
If Jin Xiuhui did not lie, Shanyuan Supermarket should have sold three bottles of poisoned red wine, but only two customers came to the door.
Why didn't the other person who bought the wine come?
Luke guessed that there are two possibilities with a high probability. The first one drank it and his stomach felt uncomfortable, but he didn't expect it to be the problem of red wine, thinking it was the food that was not clean.
The second possibility is that the red wine has not been drunk yet.
This is a possibility under normal circumstances, and there is also an abnormal possibility.
The third victim of red wine poisoning did not seek compensation from Shanyuan Supermarket for some special reason.
Luke continued to speculate wildly.
This victim is related to the red wine poisoning case and is also a customer of Shanyuan Supermarket. In addition, he can also deduce the method and method of poisoning through the poisoned bottle of red wine.
The time, place, and method are all right.
He qualifies as a poisoner.
Afterwards, Luke began to check the monitoring of Shanyuan Supermarket, looking for other customers who bought Cafira brand red wine.
After some investigation, a total of four people bought Cafira brand red wine,
Among them, two poisoned customers are temporarily excluded, and there are two other customers.
One of them was a black man in his thirties. Besides red wine, he also bought a lot of daily necessities.
The other is a Korean woman in her twenties who only bought a bottle of red wine.
Luke zoomed in on the facial images of the two customers, but he had never seen them and was not involved in the case.
Luke and the team members carefully checked the video of Shanyuan Supermarket, and found nothing unusual about these two people.
Did I guess wrong?
…
after get off work.
Luke was invited to Xiao Hei's house for dinner.
Originally thought that if Jin Xiuhui was caught, the poisoning case would be solved, but there were twists and turns.
However, the appointment was already made last night, and Xiao Hei also told Julian in advance, so it is difficult to change it.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Luke and Xiao Hei arrived at Xiao Hei's house.
Luke looked at the light in the window, "Marcus, how are you feeling now?"
"Uh...how should I put it?
not bad.
It used to be deserted when I went home, but now there is a kind of warmth of home, a bit like the feeling of living with my mother before.
I kind of enjoy this feeling. "
"Very good." As a partner, Luke is one of the people who knows Xiao Hei best, and he can see his efforts and changes.
Xiao Hei opened the door and shouted, "Hey, baby, we're back."
Julian came out of the kitchen, wearing a red apron, kissed Xiao Hei on the cheek, looked at Luke and said hello, "Deputy Luke, I'm glad you can come.
This is not the first time we have met, and we often hear Marcus mention you, but it is the first time we meet as friends. "
"That's right, although we don't meet many times, I often hear Marcus mention you, and I feel like I'm already a very familiar friend. Just call me Luke."
Xiao Hei patted Luke on the shoulder, and said to Julian, "You don't have to be so polite, Luke is my partner, just be casual."
Luke handed over a bottle of red wine, "Julian, this is for you."
"Thank you." Julian took a look at the red wine, "vsite, this brand of red wine is good, I like it very much."
Xiao Hei gestured yes, and whispered, "It's my credit."
"OK, sit down, dinner will be ready soon." After Julian finished speaking, he went back to work in the kitchen.
Luke sat on the sofa, glanced at Julian who was busy in the kitchen, "Marcus, you have a good position at home."
"Of course, Julian knows that I work hard and always let me rest when I get home. She is a very considerate woman."
"Is she still at work?"
"No, I made her resign, I can afford her.
When two people live together, conflicts will inevitably arise.
If two people work, after a hard day outside, they will be physically and mentally exhausted, and it is easy to quarrel over some trivial matters after returning home. I don't want this. "Xiao Hei lowered her voice, "And she is pregnant now, and her mood is very unstable.
There are all kinds of people in the restaurant, and it is inevitable that you will encounter some troublesome customers.
It is easy to generate some negative energy.
So, the best way is for her to resign. Although the income will be less, it will be easier for everyone.
The atmosphere of life will be different. "
"You're doing the right thing." Luke agreed.
"Gentlemen, dinner is ready, could you set the table for me?"
"Of course, I'd love to." Xiao Hei jumped up from the sofa and ran into the kitchen in a panic.
Luke also went to the restaurant to help.
Set the tableware, open the red wine, the three of them sit at the table, and the dinner officially begins.
Julian picked up the red wine glass, "Luke, thank you very much... If it weren't for you, Marcus and I might not have the sweetness we have now.
Thank you very much. "
Luke waved his hand, "No, it's not that you should thank me, but Marcus should thank me.
Marcus wouldn't have such a good company if it wasn't for me. "
Xiao Hei also raised his glass, "Dude, you are right, I respect you too."
Luke also picked up the red wine in front of him, "Cheers!"
The three of them had a drink together.
Julian pointed to the dishes on the table, "I heard from Marcus that you like lamb, so I made lamb chops.
There are also salmon, macaroni and cheese, vegetable salad, fried potato balls, mushroom soup. "
Luke smiled, "Thank you, very rich."
“I seldom cook before, and this is the first time I have formally invited friends over for dinner.
Please try it. said Julian, and used the public tongs to hold a lamb chop for Luke.
Luke was also polite, cut a piece and put it in his mouth, "Well, it tastes good."
"I'm glad you like it. To be honest, I'm not very confident in my cooking skills."
"I haven't eaten the others, but this fried lamb chops is really good."
Luke tasted other dishes, and to be honest, the other dishes were average.
The fried salmon is old, the macaroni is a bit greasy, the vegetable salad is also a bit greasy, some potatoes are mushy, and the mushroom soup tastes like a semi-finished product.
That is, mutton is not bad to eat. The main reason is that mutton is easier to cook. As long as the quality of mutton is good, it will not be too unpalatable.
While Julian was going to the kitchen to get something, Xiao Hei winked and said, "There are still many dishes, you should eat more, you are welcome."
Luke also took the last piece of lamb chops, "I still like to eat lamb chops, and you can eat more of the others."
Xiao Hei had a mournful face, obviously, he didn't think Julian's cooking skills were that good either.
Cooking skills have to be practiced.
Luke decided that he would not come to Xiaohei's house for dinner in a short time, and wait for Julian's cooking skills to hone, and then come to eat.
…
The next morning.
Police Detective Agency.
Robbery and Murder Division.
At 9:5, Susan held a case summary meeting on time.
Susan cut to the chase, "Matthew, tell me what you found."
Matthew flipped through the documents, "Uh...Yesterday, Luke's deputy team checked the surveillance of Shanyuan Supermarket and found two other customers who bought kafera wine.
Among them, the black customer in his thirties came by car, and we saw his license plate number on the surveillance outside the supermarket.
His identity information was found through the license plate number. "
Name, Moses Boyeka
Sex: Male
Ethnicity, African American
Height, 183cm
Weight, 155 lbs
License plate number, 7leb27*
Address, 1004 Camoy Avenue
Matthew put the information of the suspicious person and continued,
"This morning, I found out that Moses' IP has shopping records on a black market website called 'Evolution'.
I obtained the chat history through some technical means, and found that the item he purchased was cyanide.
The purchase time is August 14th. "
Jackson asked, "What are black market websites?"
Matthew explained, “Black market websites can provide anonymous buying and selling, including buying and selling illegal or potentially dangerous items, and Evolution is one of them.
The site also accepts bitcoin payments, making it the perfect medium of exchange for users wishing to conceal their real identities. "
Xiao Hei said, "This guy bought poisoned red wine, went to the poisoning site, and bought cyanide online. I think he is very suspicious.
But then again, this guy is pretty handsome. "
Luke raised his eyebrows, "Man, your focus is very novel, this is not like your usual self."
The deputy team laughed, "Haha... Is it premarital phobia?"
"No, I just said it casually." Xiao Hei hurriedly explained, "Don't think about it."
"Papa..."
Susan slapped her hands and interrupted everyone, "Since this guy has a record of buying cyanide, whether he is a poisoner or not, we can't let him go.
I'm going to apply for a warrant, you guys are ready to move. "
…
Half an hour later.
1004 Camoy Ave.
Near Moses Boyeka's house.
This time, Luke was in charge of leading the team. Before the arrest, some arrangements were made. There were people guarding the front and rear doors and around the house to prevent the suspect from escaping.
Afterwards, Luke and Xiao Hei knocked on the door.
"Dong Dong..." Xiao Hei knocked on the door and took two steps back.
"Who's out there?"
"Boom..." Xiao Hei didn't answer, and continued to knock on the door.
"Crackling..."
After a while, the door opened.
A handsome black man stood at the door, with his shoulders bare, wearing a pink apron, and a strong smell of perfume.
The black man shook his head, "Two handsome guys, who are you looking for?"
Xiao Hei asked, "Are you Moses Boyeka?"
"Yes, who are you? Why did you knock on my door early in the morning, I don't seem to have seen you."
Xiao Hei looked at the other party, "Why are you wearing a pink apron?"
"Is there a law in California that men can't wear pink aprons?" Moses blinked his eyes wide and turned around in a circle, "Also, don't you think I match this color well?"
"I bought it, except for the apron, you only wear a pair of underwear, which is still lace, and it is the same style as my girlfriend!" Xiao Hei opened his mouth wide, showing an incredible look.
Luke is thankful that he is wearing sunglasses, very wise.
"Hey, who the **** are you guys? Why do you comment on others at will, if you are so rude again, I will let my boyfriend beat you up."
Xiao Hei pouted, "Sure enough, boyfriend."
Moses pointed at Xiao Hei, "What do you mean? What does it mean? Are you discriminating against me?"
Xiao Hei quickly denied, "No, I don't, I support homosexuality."
Moses looks at Luke again.
"Your freedom." Luke didn't bother to provoke this kind of person, he might be in a showy suit.
"Very well, now tell me who you are? What are you doing here?"
Xiao Hei flashed his police badge, "lapd, we are investigating a criminal case and would like to ask you a few questions."
Moses covered his face with his hands, and exaggeratedly shouted, "Damn it, you are actually the police!"
At this moment, a voice came from the house, "Hey, baby, why are you standing at the door? I don't want you to be seen.
Your **** **** can only be aimed at me, oh yeah. "
Xiao Hei "..."
Luke has an urge to scold his mother.
A middle-aged Caucasian man came out wearing a nightgown, and there was a strong smell of alcohol when he spoke, "Who are you?"
Luke looked at the white man, and immediately recognized his identity.
He is the manager of the poisoned talk show actor Darcy—Markway Sarkozy.
