Chapter 556 Identity
This sudden report letter made the case more complicated, and Luke had more things to consider.
He pondered for a long time, and asked, "How did the letter get to your TV station?"
"It was sent by Parcel express company. We went to the express company to investigate. According to the courier, it was indeed sent by Rochel Horn himself, and there is a photo of his ID.
The delivery time is the morning of July 10th, the delivery location is located in the Talip community, and the delivery time is the morning of July 13th. "
Luke's first impression was that the delivery was too slow.
But I think the other party sent it to the Parcel express company, and I think it is within a reasonable range.
This courier company is really slow, suitable for items that are not in a hurry or heavy goods, and charges are based on weight and distance.
Luke now has many problems to face. First of all, it is necessary to confirm whether the letter was mailed and written by Rochel Horn himself, and secondly, whether the content of the letter is true.
If what the letter says is true, that Kallman Pharmaceuticals is doing illegal human experiments, and after the experiments failed, they killed people to avoid being exposed, and set fire to the materials, then these three cases are likely to be Kallman’s. Pharmaceutical companies direct and act on their own.
If the content of the letter is false, then the content of this letter will definitely have a very bad impact on Kallman Pharmaceuticals after it is published by the media, and the research and development of new drugs may also be suspended. resist.
Who can benefit at this time, who may be behind the scenes.
Luke asked, "Where is that report letter now?"
"In the hands of the new director of our news department."
"When is he going to make the news?"
"It could be anytime."
"I see. After your TV station releases the news, I will send someone to your news department to investigate the report letter."
Nami Inoue secretly told Luke about this. If Luke sends someone to CBS TV station to investigate the report letter now, Nami Inoue may be exposed and affect their future cooperation.
It can be heard from Nami Inoue that there should be quite a few people who know the content of this report letter, and they are all reporters from the TV station. Even if Luke went to the TV station at this time, he could not stop them from broadcasting the content of the letter.
"Thank you." Knowing that Luke was protecting herself in disguise, Inoue Nami asked, "Captain Li, do you think what the letter said is true?"
"Based on my understanding of this case, it is unlikely that it is real, at least part of it is fake." Luke also couldn't tell whether there was a problem with Kallman Pharmaceuticals, but the police were definitely not bought by Kallman Pharmaceuticals, and he also Will never admit it.
As for charitable donations, they are all reasonable and legal.
Nami Inoue showed a look of anticipation, "Captain Li, can you tell me something about the case?"
Luke thought about it for a while, but did not refuse. Information sharing is mutual, and Nami Inoue is not Lei Feng, so it is impossible to unilaterally provide information to himself all the time.
Subsequently, Luke told Nami Inoue some clues that would not involve the core of the case and could be investigated after some time, such as the identity information of the deceased Rochel Horn, family situation, gambling, and usury debts.
In addition, Luke also asked Nami Inoue to help investigate which forces would be most beneficial if the new drug development of Kallman Pharmaceuticals failed and the company's reputation was bad.
Reporters also have their own investigation channels, which may provide Luke with some valuable clues.
…
"Jingle Bell…"
At two o'clock in the morning, Luke was awakened by the ringing of his mobile phone.
"Fuck!"
Luke muttered something, reached for the cell phone next to his pillow, and pressed the answer button, "Hi, I'm Luke."
"Captain Li, I'm Kem Smith, the test director of Kallman Pharmaceuticals."
Hearing this name, Luke was a little surprised and asked, "Director Smith, is there anything you can do for me so late?"
"I... my girlfriend is missing."
"disappeared?"
"Yes."
"when?"
"I called her this afternoon, but I haven't been able to contact her, and I didn't find her when I got home at night.
I have a feeling...something might be wrong with her. "
"Did you call the police?"
"No, I trust you more than ordinary patrolmen.
Hope you can help me find her. "
Luke asked back, "What's your girlfriend's name?"
"Avella Gandhi."
"Send me your home address, and I will rush there as soon as possible."
"Thank you, thank you so much."
Luke hung up the phone. The news was a bit sudden, but it was likely to be a breakthrough in the case.
Yesterday afternoon, after Luke talked with Lydia Cooney, he became suspicious of Cam Smith. He lied cryptically about the night of the arson.
Luke thought about talking to him, but the problem is that Luke doesn't know what to talk about?
Although Cam Smith did not tell the truth about the arson case, the problem is that he had nothing to do with the arson case, and he was not found to be related to the murder of Rochel Horn. Without evidence, even if Luke found He asked, and he wouldn't tell the truth either.
So, Luke just let the little darkness investigate him.
Luke also has some guesses about the missing Elvira Gandhi that Cam Smith said.
According to Lydia Cooney's description, the reason why she broke up with Cam Smith at the beginning was because Cam Smith had an affair with a woman named Avella. This missing Avella Gandhi is probably the original the third party.
This case is getting more and more interesting.
After Luke sorted out his thoughts, he contacted Xiao Hei, Jackson, and Potter and asked them to meet near Cam Smith's house.
…
Forty minutes later.
Candace Community.
The four of Luke met near Cam Smith's house. Luke didn't go directly to Cam Smith's house, but talked to Xiao Hei first.
Luke asked, "Cam Smith, what clues have you found?"
"Cam Smith has been staying at the company this afternoon, and returned home at 6:00 pm. Potter and I stared at it for two hours, and found nothing unusual, and then we went home."
"Have you met Cam Smith's girlfriend?"
"No, but I found some information about Cam Smith's girlfriend. Her name is Avella Gandhi. She is an international student from India. She looks pretty and has a good figure. No wonder Cam Smith will Break up for her." Xiao Hei handed a piece of information to Luke.
Luke looked at the information and photos of Elvira Gandhi. Elvira Gandhi has black hair, straight facial features, and a wheat complexion. She looks very beautiful and belongs to a high caste.
Luke handed the information to Xiao Hei, "Let's go in."
The four walked to the door of Cam Smith's house, and Jackson rang the doorbell.
Soon, the door opened.
Cam Smith stood at the door with an anxious expression on his face, "Captain Li, I've been waiting for you, come in quickly."
Luke entered the living room and observed the environment in the house. He didn't smell blood or disinfectant.
Cam Smith invited everyone to sit on the sofa, "Captain Li, I'm sorry I called you here so late.
But I haven't been able to find my girlfriend, Avella Gandhi, and I'm worried that something will happen to her, so I call the police. "
Luke pressed, "What do you think happened to Elvira Gandhi?"
"I don't know either, but I haven't been able to get in touch with her, and she's never been like this before.
I am very worried about her safety, please help me find her. "
Luke comforted, "Don't worry, answer me a few questions."
"OK."
"When was the last time you saw each other?"
"Yesterday morning, when I was at work, she dropped me off at the door, and it was fine, but I called her in the afternoon and couldn't reach her.
I guess she may have had an accident, so I called you. "
Luke said, "There are many kinds of accidents, but usually in the situation you mentioned, Elvira Gandhi was probably kidnapped.
Did you get a call from the robber? "
"No."
"Does she have any other relatives in Los Angeles?"
"No."
"Did she have any plans yesterday?"
"She rested at home yesterday and said she would cook me mutton curry rice tonight."
"That is to say, she probably suffered an accident at home."
"I think so."
"Is there any sign of outsiders entering your home? Has the door lock been damaged? Or blood stains?"
"I...didn't find out."
Luke turned to Xiao Hei, "You take someone to search the room." After Luke finished speaking, he looked at Cam Smith, "No problem."
Cam Smith hesitated for a moment, nodded, "Yes."
Luke continued to ask, "Have you lost any valuables in your home?"
"No."
"Under normal circumstances, the kidnappers are asking for money, but you have neither received a blackmail call nor lost any valuables. This should not be the case." Luke changed the subject, "What is Avra Gandhi doing?" work?"
"She's still a student."
"Has she offended anyone recently?"
"Not as far as I know."
"And you?"
Cam Smith shook his head, "Me neither."
Luke kept staring at the other party, and he saw signs of lying from his face.
Luke changed the subject and said, "I went to Lydia Cooney's house to talk to her today."
Cam Smith froze for a moment, as if he didn't know why Luke mentioned Lydia Cooney, "How is she?"
"She admitted her involvement in the arson attack."
Cam Smith sighed, puzzled, "Although I saw her that night, I still can't figure it out, why would she do this?"
"Her daughter was kidnapped, and her daughter's life was threatened."
"It's terrible. To achieve your own goals, you actually kidnap a little girl. Who would do such a despicable thing?"
Luke shook his head, "We are also very angry."
"Can you rescue Lydia Cooney's daughter?"
Luke's expression darkened, "She was kidnapped on July 10th, three days have passed, and the best time to rescue her has been missed, the situation is not very optimistic..."
"What about my girlfriend? She disappeared only yesterday afternoon. It shouldn't be too late for me to call the police now."
“The 24 hours after being kidnapped is the golden time for rescue, and there is still a chance now, but we need to understand the whole case and the reason why she was kidnapped.
If you concealed the real reason why she was kidnapped, causing our investigation direction to deviate, it is likely to miss the best time to rescue..."
"My God, why is this happening?" Cam Smith scratched his forehead vigorously.
"Do you have any suspects regarding the kidnapping of Elvira Gandhi?"
Cam Smith glanced at Luke, but didn't speak.
Luke stared at the other party and continued, "Actually, if you don't tell me, I know that you lied when you described the arson case.
After Lydia Cooney and another suspect set fire, they escaped through the east entrance of the building, not the west entrance of the building. "
Cam Smith defended, "Sorry, the fire scared me that night, I may remember wrongly."
"No, you didn't remember wrongly. You did see Lydia Cooney and another suspect near the west gate of the building, but they didn't leave the building at that time, but just entered the building after the power distribution room was cut off. Arson, you could have stopped them from setting fire, but you didn't.
Why? "
"I... I didn't know they were going to set the fire, and I... I regret it too."
"Even if you don't know they are going to set fire, you know that it is impossible for them to sneak into the building at night to do good deeds. Why didn't you call the police or notify the security immediately?"
Cam Smith shook his head, still silent.
Luke continued, "Actually, we have been investigating you.
The reason why you appeared on the west side of the building that night was not a coincidence, but because you were also about to go to the power distribution room to cut off the power, and you happened to see Lydia Cooney near the power distribution room.
The reason why you didn't stop Lydia Cooney and call the police that night is because you were guilty and you wanted to sneak into the office building.
Am I right? "
Sweat rolled down Cam Smith's cheeks.
Luke strikes while the iron is hot, "Since we suspect you, it is only a matter of time before we find out your problem, but what Avira Gandhi lacks most now is time.
If you continue to hide, you may miss the best time to rescue.
When we find out the real reason, you still have to pay the corresponding responsibility, and Avira Gandhi..."
"Stop talking, I'll tell you.
I did something wrong..." Cam Smith took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and continued, "You're right, I really wanted to sneak into the building that night.
I wanted to copy some data, but Lydia Cooney and the suspect entered the building first, interrupting my plans. "
"What data do you want to copy?"
"Research and development data of new antihypertensive drugs."
"Why do you do that?"
"I'm going to sell this data on the black market to make money."
Luke shook his head, "You're still lying."
"I don't."
"You have.
July 11th, you may not have succeeded, but there were also two power outages in May and June, and you should have done it too.
Those two times you should have succeeded.
Where are those copied data? "
"I told you, I sold it on the black market."
"No, you are still lying.
If you don't tell the truth, I can't help you. Luke stared at each other and said coldly, "Before, the reason why you broke up with Lydia Cooney shouldn't be because of Lydia Cooney's daughter. At that time, you should be with Avra Gandhi." up.
You and Avra Gandhi didn’t know each other for a long time, you moved to the company’s dormitory, and entered the office building to steal the research and development data of new antihypertensive drugs.
If I'm not mistaken, you should have given the stolen R&D data to Elvira Gandhi.
This is the real reason why she was kidnapped.
Am I right? "
Cam Smith's eyes flickered, and his expression was a little flustered.
Luke continued to press, "If you want to save Avra Gandhi, just tell me, who is she?"
Under Luke's forceful questioning, Cam Smith was a little out of breath, and took a big breath, "She...
It was Sun Pharmaceuticals who sponsored her to study in Los Angeles. "
