【Good evening, viewers, and welcome to the nightly news.
I'm Tiffany Wheeler, CBS Television's New York bureau.
Our station is tracking and reporting on the latest developments in the serial dismemberment case in New York.
This afternoon, the FBI successfully caught the murderer of the serial dismemberment case. The murderer is an extremist religious believer, male...
The killing method was very cruel. He killed three deceased people in succession, including the wife of the mayor of New York and an international supermodel, and brutally cut their bodies into pieces...]
"cheers!"
In a bar in New York.
Luke and his colleagues from the FBI were sitting together, and a TV hanging not far away was playing news about their detection of the case.
Negan Thomas, director of the FBI's New York office, put down his glass and smiled, "You did a good job this time and caught the murderer within a week. I just received a call from the mayor, and he expressed his gratitude for your efforts and dedication. .”
Michael asked, “Just words, no real reward?”
“Is it worthwhile to let you, the acting team leader, become a full-time employee?”
Michael smiled, "Are you serious?"
“I can still take it back now.”
“Nonono, this is the best news I have heard this year. I have been waiting for this day for a long time.
I promise, this is definitely the best decision you have ever made.
I will not let you down. "Michael picked up the beer bottle and clinked glasses with Negan Thomas.
Luke raised his glass, "Congratulations, man."
“Congratulations, Michael.” Others also congratulated.
Amir quipped, "I'm glad you won't lose sleep over this anymore."
"I don't have insomnia. I know that I will become a positive person. I have always known it." Michael said firmly.
Amir curled his lips. No one knew better than him how much Michael cared about becoming a regular member. However, he stopped teasing him and said, "Although we have caught the murderer, the Eternal Cult matter is far from over. .
This sect has been around for at least five years and probably has more than just a few dozen adherents on the list. "
Negan Thomas replied, "You are right, this Eternal Religion is indeed more complicated than imagined, and the believers are not just the dozens of people on the list.
Bloodhand Mike also once believed in the Eternal Cult, but he does not appear on this list.
According to my understanding, in the past five years, the Eternal Cult has developed at least hundreds of believers, and has tricked these believers into donating money. Some of them have no use value after donating.
There are also some people who have clearly recognized the true face of the Eternal Religion.
Many people have died.
None of the above people appear on the list.
And this list of believers is only those believers who Beram Solo, the head of the Eternal Religion, believes are still valuable and will continue to donate. "
Speaking of this, Negan Thomas also feels a little powerless. In fact, there are many similar religions in New York, but based on the principles of freedom of belief and voluntary donations, it is difficult to effectively manage them.
Luke was only responsible for catching the murderer and didn’t care much about the religious aftermath. He smiled and said, “Guys, I’m going back to Los Angeles in a few days.
Who wants to go to Los Angeles? I'll be your guide. "
Louis shrugged, "I've already taken annual leave this year."
Amir said, "I really want to go, but I have to discuss it with my girlfriend and see what her arrangements are."
As for Michael, he doesn’t want to go anywhere now and is eagerly waiting to get a full job.
Everyone chatted at the bar for two hours before leaving.
Before leaving, Negan Thomas patted Luke on the shoulder and said, "Come to my office tomorrow morning. I have something to talk to you about."
Luke nodded, "See you tomorrow."
When I got home, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Li Zhaofeng had not rested yet, sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching TV.
He made a pot of tea and poured Luke a cup.
Luke said, "Drinking tea at night will not affect your sleep."
“I’m used to it.” Li Zhaofeng put down his tea cup and said, “I just saw on the night news that the serial murderer who killed and dismembered his body has been caught?”
“Yes, he is an extreme believer.
His life was rather rough, and he was terminally ill, which caused some abnormalities in his brain. "
“That’s right, normal people wouldn’t dismember the body.” Li Zhaofeng didn’t ask much about the case and looked at Luke, “Whenever you have time, let me know in advance and invite your family to get together.
Your grandparents often talk about you when you are away.
Now that I’m here, it’s hard not to show up. "
“I have this idea too.” Luke thought for a while and replied, “I have to go to the FBI New York office tomorrow, and I should be fine after that.
When the time comes, I will treat guests and invite all my uncle and aunt’s family to join us. It will be lively. "
“That’s okay.” Li Zhaofeng knew that his son was not short of money now.
Furthermore, he has started working now, and he is considered an adult. He has the ability to take charge of his own affairs, which is better than doing things on his own.
Luke smiled and asked, "Dad, do you want to invite Aunt Chen?"
Li Zhaofeng also smiled, but his smile was a little awkward, "She has been busy recently, let's talk about it next time."
The father and son chatted for a while longer.
Luke was a little tired after investigating the case all day, so he took a shower and rested first.
The next morning.
“Dong dong.” There was a knock on the door outside. Negan Thomas, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his head and said, "Come in."
The door opened and Luke walked in from the outside, "Director Thomas, good morning."
Thomas stood up, walked to the sofa with a smile, and invited Luke to sit down, "Coffee or tea?"
"coffee."
Negan Thomas poured two cups of coffee, handed one to Luke, and then sat on the sofa on one side, "These are coffee beans grown by a friend on his own estate. He gives me some every year. You can try it." How does it taste?"
Luke took a sip and nodded, "Not bad, the taste is delicate and the taste is mellow."
In fact, in Luke’s opinion, black coffee tastes the same.
Negan Thomas put down his coffee cup and said, "Thank you for your hard work this time. You came all the way from Los Angeles to help us investigate the case.
Luckily, with your help, the case was solved so quickly. "
In Luke's view, this case is not very complicated, but because the murderer committed the crime particularly cruelly, similar to the way Bloody Mike committed the crime five years ago, and the identity of the deceased was special and had great influence, so Negan Thomas Only then could he lose his composure and invite him from Los Angeles to help investigate the case.
Negan Thomas continued, "This time you found a lot of gold from the suspect's home, probably worth more than three million US dollars.
The money will be used as rewards and distributed to detectives who participate in the investigation.
Among them, you also received a reward of US$500,000, which will be directly credited to your account. "
"Thank you for your generosity, director." Luke couldn't help but sigh, Negan Thomas was still as generous as ever.
Previously, he assisted Negan Thomas in arresting the Asian gambling king and purchased a multi-million mansion at a price of 30%.
This time for solving the dismemberment case, the reward was equally generous.
“You deserve this. When are you going to go back to Los Angeles?”
“Now that the murderer has been caught, I believe Michael will handle the rest of the matter.
I am going to deal with some personal matters and will leave in two days. "
Negan Thomas was silent for a moment, "If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for two more days."
Luke asked, "Director, is there anything else you can do?"
Negan Thomas rubbed his hands and said, "I have a business friend who has encountered some troubles recently and needs a security consultant.
I recommended you to him.
Of course, it depends on your own thoughts. "
"Security consultant?" Luke spread his hands, "As you know, I'm only good at investigating cases, not protecting people."
“This friend of mine has a professional bodyguard. If he just needs protection, he won’t ask me for help.”
Luke said, "Then what can I do?"
“This friend of mine wants to acquire a large marina in Los Angeles.
You should be aware that the terminal’s cargo sources and customers are complex and involve people from all walks of life.
His acquisition plan may affect the interests of some people.
Since he had the intention to acquire the terminal, he has received some threats one after another.
Some people even threatened to kill him if he dared to set foot in Los Angeles.
Although hiring bodyguards can protect him, it is difficult to solve the fundamental problem. Even if he successfully acquires the Los Angeles dock, he will still face the problem of whether the dock business can operate normally. "
“He was trying to get in touch with the Los Angeles police through me.”
Negan Thomas did not answer directly, "If you are interested, I can make an appointment for the two of you and you can talk about it yourself."
"OK." Luke and Negan Thomas chatted for a while, and then left.
Negan Thomas took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Hello, I'm Negan."
“Hey, old man, I was waiting for your call?
I heard that you have caught the murderer of the mayor’s wife? "The voice of a middle-aged man came from the other side of the phone.
“This is just a small case.” Negan Thomas said perfunctorily, and continued, “I have already found the connection you asked me to find.
The other party is in New York now. "
“That’s great, I also want to talk to the other party in person.
Is he from the FBI or the LAPD? "
“His surname is Li, he is a criminal investigation consultant for the FBI and the captain of the Los Angeles Police Detective Bureau.”
The man on the other side of the phone questioned, "Captain? Is your position too low?"
“Some people can’t just look at their position. Even if you know the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, it’s impossible for him to go to the pier with a gun and drive away the **** who are making trouble for you.
You are not short of high-level friends, why not just find some people who can handle things?
He can help you with small things.
For big things, he can either contact the Los Angeles Police Department or the FBI Los Angeles office for help. "
The man on the other side of the phone said, “I understand, he is like a bridge.
Those who can serve in the FBI and the police at the same time are not ordinary people. "
Negan Thomas said, “He is young and has great potential.
As far as I know, the top brass of the Los Angeles Police Department and the top brass of the FBI's Los Angeles office appreciate him.
Including me. "
The phone said solemnly to the man opposite, "Thank you, old man.
I will take this matter very seriously.
Just wait for my good news. "
Negan Thomas joked, "Be careful, don't die in Los Angeles."
