Chapter 558 Rescue
Luke received a message from Jackson as soon as he woke up. Instead of receiving a call from the robber, they received a call from Avra Gandhi.
The police locked the location of Avella Gandhi and directly arrested Avella Gandhi.
Kalman Pharmaceuticals has called the police, claiming that Cam Smith stole confidential company documents.
The director of the Economic Crime Division came to a squadron to take Cam Smith and Avra Gandhi away for investigation.
Of course, Cam Smith and Avella Gandhi were captured by the first squadron, and the research data was also recovered by the first squadron. Of course, the credit of the first squadron is indispensable.
Just because of the nature of the crime, it is more appropriate to hand it over to the Economic Crime Division for investigation.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Luke had just finished his coffee when another guest—Ronnie Prada was ushered in.
He is the boss of the usury company and the boss of the suspect Walda Baker. The black Chevrolet sedan that Walda Baker drives is his.
Ronnie Prada was implicated by his younger brother for no reason. He wanted to catch Walda Baker earlier than the police, and let out a bad breath.
Luke took Ronnie Prada to the break room and asked, "What can I do for you?"
Ronnie Prada squeezed out a flattering smile, "Captain Li, didn't you ask me to assist in the investigation of Walda Baker's whereabouts? I have used all the connections around me, and I have been looking for Walda Baker for the past two days whereabouts.
Just heard from Walda Baker this morning. "
Sure enough, cats have cats and mice have rat holes, which is a surprise to Luke, "Where is Walda Baker?"
"The Dolittle Community."
Luke wrote down the name of the community and asked, "Are you sure?"
"A friend of a friend saw him near the Dolittle community yesterday afternoon, and when I got there, the **** had already run away.
I spent some money and asked the local gang to help find it.
This morning, I received a photo of a black Chevrolet, although the plate number is not mine, but I am sure it is my car.
The car drove into the garage at No. 406 in the Dolittle community. I suspected that Walda Baker was hiding there, and I came to the police station immediately. "
"Since you found out about Walda Baker yesterday, why didn't you tell me?"
"Because a friend of a friend saw it, I couldn't be sure it was Walda Baker until I saw my car." Ronnie Prada said, turned on his phone, and clicked on a photo of a Chevrolet car , he pointed to the right rear side of the car, "I touched this scratch, just painted it with black paint, it is definitely my car."
Luke took the phone, zoomed in on the photo, pointed to the license plate and handed it to Jackson, "Check the license plate number."
Jackson left the lounge, and returned shortly afterwards, "Captain, this should be the license plate number of a black Ford SUV, and that black Chevrolet sedan should be a license plate."
Ronnie Prada's tone became more and more determined, "That must be my car."
"Thank you, the clues you provided are very important."
"Dong Dong..." At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and Xiao Hei stood at the door, "Captain, come out."
Luke got up and left the lounge, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Hei pointed to the TV above his head.
Luke's eyes also moved to the screen, and a piece of news was being broadcast on the TV, "The person who wrote this report letter is called Rochel Horn, and he is a drug tester at Kallman Pharmaceuticals. According to our investigation, there is On the day he mailed this letter, he was killed.
Regarding his death, the police have not yet reached a clear conclusion, which makes us have to suspect that the contents of this letter are likely to be true.
What a horrible company this would be if that were the case..."
After the news was broadcast, Xiao Hei added, "Captain, someone delivered a report letter to CBS TV, claiming that Kallman Pharmaceuticals is conducting illegal human experiments."
Luke nodded. He had heard the news from Nami Inoue a long time ago, and he was not surprised. He said, "Deputy team, take someone to CBS TV station to investigate the authenticity and source of that letter."
The deputy team asked, "What about you?"
…
Dorit Community.
In order to avoid being noticed by the suspects, the police entered the community in batches.
Xiao Hei parked the car near house No. 406, looked at the gray bungalow, and asked, "Captain, do you think the news about Ronnie Prada is accurate?"
"I don't see any signs of him lying." Luke glanced back, "He's sitting in the car behind, I don't think he has the guts to lie.
However, that does not mean that his news must be accurate, and we need to judge by ourselves. "
Luke looked through the car window to house No. 406, but saw no signs of people, nor did he see the black Chevrolet sedan.
Luke took out the walkie-talkie, "Everyone is on standby in the car."
Then, Luke and Xiao Hei got out of the car and looked around.
He found a white man in his forties sitting on a chair and drinking coffee in the house diagonally opposite.
Luke sat over and said hello, "Good morning, sir, can I talk to you?"
"If you talk about football games, I welcome it.
If you're trying to sell something... get out of my yard immediately, you're not welcome here. "
"I'm not a salesman." Luke approached and flashed his police badge, "Sir, what's your name?"
"Thomas Corley." The white man stared at the police badge, "Sir, I have never done anything illegal."
"Don't be nervous, we're not here to find you, but to inquire about something with you."
"Then I'm relieved, after all, who hasn't done anything wrong when they were young, sit down and talk." Thomas Corley made a gesture of invitation.
"Thank you." Luke pointed to house No. 406 and asked, "Mr. Corley, do you know the owner of that house?"
"Yes, we drank together last year."
"Is he still living in that house?"
"No, he moved to Las Vegas. That guy is much more chic than me, which is enviable."
Luke asked, "Is anyone living in that house now?"
Thomas Corley thought for a while, "It seems that a tenant has moved in recently, but I haven't seen him. Last night, the house seemed to be lit.
By the way, the tenant of the house drives a black Chevrolet, but don't ask me the license plate number, I can't remember it either. "
"How many people live in that house?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be too many."
"Have you ever heard an unusual sound?"
"No."
Luke took out a picture of Walda Baker, "Have you seen him?"
Thomas Corley took the photo and looked at it, then shook his head, "No."
Luke changed the photo of the kidnapped little girl Melia Cooney again, "What about her?"
"never seen it."
"Have you been to the house across the way?"
"Yes, last year the owner invited us to drink and tour the house."
Luke asked, "Do you remember the structure in the house?"
"Of course, I haven't reached the age of dementia."
Luke took out a blank piece of paper, "Mr. Corley, please draw a structural diagram of that house."
"It's okay, just a general structure."
Thomas Corley took the paper and pen, and after thinking about it for a while, he drew a rough sketch of the house structure, "I remember it should be like this."
"Thanks."
At this moment, Jackson came over, "Captain, the swat team has arrived."
Luke nodded, indicating that he understood, and said to Thomas Curley, "Mr. Curley, thank you for your assistance."
Thomas Corley asked, "Did gangsters live in that house? Should I avoid it."
Luke said firmly, "Don't worry, we'll take care of it."
Thomas Corley quipped, "If you catch the suspect, will you give me a medal for bravery?"
"Of course, I will award it to you myself." Luke smiled, got up and left the yard of Thomas Corley's house.
Later, Luke and the swat team leader meet to discuss house search tactics.
Twenty minutes later, the police determined the action plan, Luke coordinated the overall situation, the swat team was preparing to enter the room to search, and the first squadron was in charge of covering.
After the team members arrived at the designated location, Luke gave an order, and the swat team opened the door with a door bumper.
"boom!"
"lapd!"
"Safety!"
"Safety."
The actions of the swat team were very professional, and the search progressed quickly, and there was no resistance from suspicious personnel.
Luke stood in the yard, listening to the movement in the house, but there was no gunshot.
This is both good news and possibly bad news.
The good news is that there were no gunshots, there would have been no casualties, the bad news is that the victim, Melia Cooney, may not have been in the house.
"Zizi..." The walkie-talkie rang, "Suspicious people were found in the basement."
"It's a little girl, similar in physical features to the hostage."
"Are the hostages in danger?"
"No obvious injuries were found."
"Did you find the robber?"
"No."
"Received." Luke breathed a sigh of relief and rescued the hostages. This mission was more than half successful.
As for the two robbers who can be caught slowly, perhaps the little girl can also provide some valuable clues.
Soon, Luke saw a white girl in the house. The girl was not very old, she looked only eight or nine years old, and she was somewhat similar to Lydia Cooney.
Luke greeted in as genial a voice as possible, "Hello, I'm Luke and I'm in charge of this operation.
Are you hurt? "
The little girl shivered with fear in her eyes, "No, sir. I'm very thirsty, and I want to see my mother."
Jenny handed over a bottle of mineral water, "We have notified your mother, and she will be here soon."
The little girl cried and said, "Thank you, thank you so much.
I thought I would never see my mother again. "
Luke looked at the little girl, "Can you tell me your name?"
"Melia Cooney." After the little girl finished speaking, she opened the mineral water bottle and took a big gulp of water.
"Can you describe how you were kidnapped?"
The little girl tightly held the mineral water bottle with both hands, and her body moved slightly.
Luke comforted, "Don't be afraid, there are policemen around, we will protect you.
You tell the kidnapping process and the characteristics of the suspect, so that we can catch the suspect as soon as possible, so that you will not be hurt again. "
Milia Cooney raised her head slowly, with a hint of firmness in her eyes, "On the night of July 10, I went home with my mother. As soon as we entered the house, two people appeared from the side and grabbed me. with mom...
One of them covered my mouth and nose, and when I woke up, I was in this house. "
"Did you see what the suspect looked like?"
Melia Cooney shook her head, "No, they've been blindfolding me."
"Did you hear their voices?"
"Yes, they told me not to move around, not to shout, and not to try to run away.
also said that as long as I behave obediently, I will be let go in a few days.
If I try to escape, they kill me. "
“When was the last time you saw them or heard them speak?”
"It should be last night."
"What time?"
"I don't know, I've been locked in the basement, I don't know how long it's been. I just think it should be night."
"Can you still hear their voices?"
Milia Cunillo was silent, biting her lips, "I can, I listened carefully to every word they said, and I will never forget it."
Luke took out his phone and played a recording.
【"Have you been to the house opposite?"
"Yes, last year the owner invited us to drink and tour the house."
"Do you remember the structure in the house?"
"Of course, I haven't reached the age of dementia."
"Mr. Corley, please draw a structural diagram of that house."
"I haven't learned how to draw, so it's definitely not too..."]
Before the recording was finished, Melia Cooney shuddered, shrank back, and said in a terrified tone, "It was him, he kidnapped me."
Thomas Corley!
is the neighbor who just talked to Luke.
When Luke was talking to him, he found signs of lying, sensed that he had a problem, and recorded his voice.
Luke sent the voice to the little girl's mother, Lydia Cooney, who had no impression of it, nor had she communicated with another robber.
However, Luke still felt that there might be something wrong with Thomas Corley, and he had already made the little black belt stare at him.
Now that Milia Cooney has confirmed his identity, the arrest can be carried out.
Luke took out the walkie-talkie, "Marcus, Thomas Corley is the robber, ready to move!"
"Okay, Captain."
