Chapter 395 Reciprocity
Luke puts the floor plan of the Getty Museum on the projector, "Can anyone see where this is?"
Everyone stared at the floor plan for a while, Xiao Hei shook his head, "It looks like museums, art galleries, and memorial halls. There are too many buildings like this in Los Angeles, and I have no clue."
Jenny frowned and thought, "It looks familiar."
Jackson echoed, "Yes, I also look familiar."
Luke no longer kept secrets, and revealed the answer, "This is the floor plan of the Getty Museum."
Jackson suddenly realized, "That's right, it's the Getty Museum, I wonder why it looks so familiar."
The deputy team snapped their fingers, "I read a piece of news while eating breakfast. In the early morning of the 30th, ten precious oil paintings were snatched from the Getty Museum."
Luke said, "I also heard the news. It is said that the museum has offered a valuable reward."
Xiao Hei said, "The murdered police officer Jens Jauregui was killed on the night of December 25, and the oil painting was stolen in the early morning of December 30. The two cases were only four days apart. Could there be any connection between them.
In addition, 200,000 dollars in cash and a large number of floor plans of the Getty Museum were found in the warehouse of police officer Jens Jauregui, although I don’t want to believe it, but these..." Xiao Hei showed an expression that you understand.
The deputy team concluded, "You suspect that the police officer Jens Jauregui was related to the theft of the oil painting from the Getty Museum, and he may even have been killed because of the oil painting."
Xiao Hei spread his hands, "Don't say you don't think so."
This time, Luke did not refute Xiao Hei again. If there is only 200,000 US dollars in the warehouse, it is not easy to doubt his colleagues without evidence.
But the floor plan of the Getty Museum was also found in the warehouse, and the oil paintings of the Getty Museum have just been robbed. The combination of these three things is very suspicious.
"Deputy team, you took notes with Jens Jauregui's fiancée, did she show any abnormalities?"
"No, I don't see anything unusual about her, but according to her, the deceased Jens Jauregui has been in a bad mood recently, and he is very busy, and seems to be often troubled by work matters.
However, I asked the patrolman who was with me yesterday, and I also checked the duty records of Jens Jauregui. His recent duty time is not much different from the previous one, and there is not much problem with his recent work.
Obviously, there should be other things that bothered him. "
Luke asked, "Have you talked to Jens Jauregui's partner, Timo Jansen?"
"No, I heard that Jens Jauregui's death hit him hard, so he is temporarily on leave."
…
Suvina Community.
Constable Timo Jensen's home.
The relationship between the patrol partners is very close, and they are the most important helpers and support.
There are some things that the deceased Jens Jauregui may not tell his girlfriend, but he will definitely not be able to hide them from his partner Timo Jansen.
Luke took Potter to the home of police officer Timo Janson.
Porter also worked in the Southern Bureau before, and they will be closer to each other when communicating with each other.
The two came to Timo Jansen's house, and Potter knocked on the door, "Boom..."
After a while, the door opened.
Timo Jansen stood at the door, with disheveled hair and a smell of alcohol on his body. He glanced at Luke, then at Potter, "You look familiar, I should have seen you."
"My name is Potter, and I also worked in the Southern Bureau before, and I was just transferred to the Police Detective Department not long ago.
I'm sorry about what happened to Jens Haureji. "
Timo Jansen stepped aside, "Come in, please."
Luke and Potter walked into the house. The size of the house is small. The living room is in front of the entrance, and the dining room is on the right. The style is very uniform, just a mess of words.
Timo Jansen threw the takeaway box and wine bottle into the trash can, "Sorry, I've been a little lazy recently, and I haven't cleaned it up for a long time."
Porter sighed, "Man, I have been through the same experience as you, and I know this time is very difficult and painful.
But you have to pull yourself together.
Jens Jauregui doesn't want to see a decadent you either. "
"I know.
Has the investigation of the case progressed? Have you found any clues to the murderer? "
Luke said, "It's more complicated to say. The death of Jens Jauregui may be involved in other cases. The pistol that killed Jens Jauregui also killed other people on December 17. We are here today to find You know something."
"OK, you can ask, as long as it helps the case, I will have no reservations.
I just hope that the murderer who killed Jens can be caught as soon as possible. " Timo Jansen scratched his head vigorously and said in a hoarse voice, "If...
I was able to be smarter and not go after that bastard, but fight with Jens...
He might be fine.
I have been unable to face his fiancée. I should have told her about it myself, but I don't have the courage...
Please make sure to catch the murderer who killed Jens, absolutely. "
"We will do our best." Luke responded and asked, "My colleague talked to Jens Jauregui's fiancée, and according to her, Jens Jauregui's mood has been a little abnormal recently, and I often work overtime and may encounter some difficulties at work.
Is there anything similar? "
Timo Jansen thought for a while, "No, our recent work is the same as before. He has not encountered any difficulties in his work, and there is nothing special."
Luke asked, "Then why did Jens Jauregui's fiancée say that he is busy recently?"
Timo Jenson said, "Jens has been working part-time recently, so he will appear busy. I think this should be the reason."
"Why is he working part-time?"
"Jens and his girlfriend are engaged, and they're getting married next summer.
Jens loves his girlfriend very much and hopes to give her an unforgettable wedding, which requires a lot of money.
So, he has been secretly doing part-time jobs to surprise his girlfriend. "
"Where does he work part-time?"
"Working as a security guard at a museum."
"What museum?"
"The Getty Museum, you should have been."
"That's right, in fact I went there not long ago."
"How does he earn as a security guard at the museum?"
"It's not bad, it's much higher than the overtime pay given by the police station, and it's easier and less dangerous.
You should know that many police officers will be part-time security guards. They have experience, good marksmanship, no stage fright, and can stand up at critical moments. Many security teams will hire police officers to do part-time jobs. "
"Did you also work as a part-time security guard at the Getty Museum?"
"I didn't do it at the Getty Museum, but I worked as a security guard in other places, which was much easier than being a police officer."
"Probably about three months."
"How much income do you think he will earn during this period?"
"I haven't asked the exact amount, but it should be thousands of dollars." Timo Jansen finished, frowning slightly, "Why do you care about this matter? As far as I know, many police officers have done similar part-time jobs. What's the problem?"
Luke didn't answer directly. It's definitely okay to work part-time, but judging from the two hundred thousand dollars found in Jens Jauregui's warehouse, it's not just as simple as doing part-time jobs.
Jens Jauregui works as a part-time security guard at the Getty Museum, which increasingly proves that he may be involved in the case of the Getty Museum oil painting robbery.
Subsequently, Luke took out photos of the people involved in another murder case and asked Timo Jansen to identify them, but Timo Jansen had never seen these people.
Apart from the fact that the deceased was killed by the same pistol, there is currently no commonality between the two homicides.
Now Jens Jauregui is linked to the getty painting robbery case.
If Jens Jauregui was really killed because of the oil painting robbery, then the murderer who killed Jens Jauregui may be closely related to the person who robbed the oil painting, and may even be the same group.
Luke felt that it was necessary to have an in-depth understanding of the oil painting robbery, and he might even consider joining the case for investigation.
…
In a black Ford Explorer.
Xiao Hei was sitting in the passenger cab with the window half open, a cigarette in his right hand, and a look of enjoyment on his face.
Jackson, who was driving, glanced at him, "Where are we going now?"
Little Black Road, "The bar on the east side of Micro Street."
"What are you doing there?"
"Find the Porsche Cayenne that was dumped."
Jackson stopped the car at the red light, "Even if you find the car, you may not be able to find the person, why not save a step and find someone directly."
"Rookie, let me tell you why?" Xiao Hei put out the cigarette butt, and said slowly, "To bury the corpse, you only need to dig a pit one meter deep, 1.5 meters long, and 60 centimeters wide.
The amount of this project is not large, and it can be handled by one person.
But it is not so easy to destroy a car.
If you want to bury the car in the ground, you have to dig a huge hole. It is estimated that someone will call the police before the hole is dug.
If the car were to be burned down, the smoke would also attract attention.
So the car is easier to spot, and if found by a good guy, the police will likely be notified.
If found by bad guys, it is likely to be resold to the stolen car market.
Do you know where we are going now? "
Jackson shrugged, "This is the first time I've heard of a stolen car market in a bar."
"There is no market for stolen cars in bars, but there are my sources.
We are the police, it is not a good thing to go straight to the stolen car market.
This is against the rules, no one wants to deal with us in the future, understand?
Rookie! "
"OK, who told you to be the detective." Jackson didn't argue any more. Although Jackson felt that he was better than Marcus in terms of comprehensive ability as a police detective, but in terms of dealing with gang members, he didn't know. Far worse, let alone him, even Luke is convinced of this.
Soon, the car drove to Micro Street and stopped in front of a bar.
The name of the bar is DOC, which is easy to remember.
Xiao Hei checked the pistol in the car, then got out of the car, glanced around, and led Jackson into the bar.
At the table on the right side of the bar against the wall sat a bald black man, holding a wine glass in his right hand to raise a glass to Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei walked up to the bald black man, fist bumped and hugged him, "Hey, you **** is getting fat again, I can hardly hug you anymore."
"My wife said the same thing." The bald black man smiled and looked towards Jackson, "Is this kid with you?"
Xiao Hei waved his hand and said indifferently, "Don't worry about him."
Jackson did not sit at the same table with the two, but sat at the next table.
Xiao Hei ordered a glass of whiskey, and asked the black bald man, "Michael, how is business doing recently?"
"Hey, thanks to you, it's not bad."
"Listen, I asked you to come today because I want you to do me a favor."
Michael put down his glass, "Say it."
"I would like to ask you to help find a missing car, a dark blue Porsche Cayenne, the missing location is probably around the Olive Villa area...
Actually, we don't know the specific location, anyway, it is expanding outwards centered on the olive villa area. "
Michael pursed his thick lips, "Wow, this range is huge, it sounds hard to find."
"It's really hard to find the location of a missing car, but there are only a few places that deal with missing cars, either at your second-hand car dealership, or at a few other places. A serious car dealership would not dare to accept this kind of car." Xiao Heituan He took a sip of wine from his glass and squeezed his eyes, "Dude, to be honest, is it with you?"
"No, my guys recently confiscated a Porsche Cayenne."
Xiao Hei waved his hand, "Don't rush to answer, it's still the old rule, if your people accept it, I will give you an exemption agreement.
If someone else received it, please tell me the name. "
Michael picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Xiao Hei, "No problem, I'll find out the news when I get back."
Xiao Hei stood up, patted his shoulder, "Waiting for your news.
This cup is my request. "
After finishing speaking, Xiao Hei left twenty dollars and left the bar with Jackson.
After getting into the car, Jackson asked, "Is this the end?"
Xiao Hei stretched his waist, and changed into a comfortable position, "What else do you want?"
"How can you guarantee that he will help to find out the news? What good is he doing? This guy doesn't look like he is short of money, and that little informant fee may not be able to buy him."
"Didn't I just say that if his people collected it, as long as he handed over the car, he would be able to obtain de facto immunity from punishment for crimes.
If it wasn't his people who took it, then his competitors did. They all know people well, so it's not difficult to find out the news.
The market for stolen cars is just that big, and his accomplice is out of luck, and he's able to expand and grow his business.
Isn't that good? "
"In other words, your informants are also using the police to attack their competitors. Is this how you win over your informants?"
Xiao Hei posed with his right hand next to his chin, "Although I am very charismatic, if there are not enough benefits, it will be difficult to establish a stable relationship channel with them.
Moreover, this is just one of the methods, dealing with this group of guys is not as simple as imagined. "
Jackson automatically ignored the previous words, "What if the other party is unwilling to help?"
Xiao Hei said indifferently, "Then go find his competitor."
