Chapter 87 Suspicious Finger
Evening, Daisy's house.
Dinner was cooked by Luke. He wanted to cook some Chinese dishes, but Daisy's family didn't have the seasonings for Chinese food.
In a hurry, he didn't go shopping, and simply cooked a few simple western dishes.
Western food is fresh when he first eats it, but after a long time, Chinese food is more suitable for his appetite.
Luke thought about returning to his new home, buying a set of kitchen utensils and seasonings, and improving his meals from time to time.
Isn’t human beings living just to eat, drink and have fun?
Eating takes the first place, so you can't lose your stomach.
No matter how delicious the vegetables sold outside are, they are not as good as home-cooked meals, which are more comfortable and comfortable to eat.
Luke prepared four dishes, fried lamb chops, boiled prawns, vegetable salad, pasta, plus a bottle of red wine.
The two chatted while eating.
Daisy took a sip of the red wine, "Isn't the bureau busy recently? You still prepared dinner for me so thoughtfully."
"The case is solved and the suspect has been arrested. I can just relax and take care of things by the way."
"The pervert who installed a camera in my house was also caught?"
"Of course, I caught it with my own hands and gave him a shot. This guy hasn't been released from the hospital yet."
"Phew...God, I finally caught this bastard, and I can finally sleep peacefully." Daisy let out a long sigh of relief.
Luke smiled, "With me by your side, don't you sleep well?"
"With you here, my heart is at ease, but... the body is not idle."
"Life lies in movement, doesn't it?"
"That's why I can't exercise every day. I'm tired enough from working every day. I wish I could just sleep on the dining table now."
Luke grabbed Daisy's soft left hand, "People can't always think about work, they have to learn to relax themselves properly. Next week, let's go out and relax together."
"Where to?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as I'm with you, everything is fun."
"It depends on the situation. Before the break, I have to deal with the case. Otherwise, I can't go anywhere."
Luke nodded, "By the way, since Cole has been arrested, I should go too."
Some words, if you take the initiative to mention it, there is room for it.
If it is mentioned by the other party, it will be embarrassing.
Anyway, the two have established a relationship, so the impact is not great.
"I have worked hard for you during this time...
Of course, I don't mean to drive you away. If you want, you can stay for a while. "
"I rented a new house, not very far from your home, about ten minutes' drive away, in the future, we can also have multiple dates."
Daisy raised her wine glass and signaled, "It sounds pretty good. When you pack it up, take me to have a look."
Luke smiled, "It's not enough to just watch, I also want to hear about your trial experience."
…
The next morning.
There was a light rain in the sky.
Luke looked at the beautiful woman lying beside him, listening to the crisp and pleasant sound of rain outside.
I missed my sleep.
Probably going to have breakfast outside.
This is not a problem.
The problem is that it's raining today, and riding a Harley to work is sure to get drenched.
When the oil painting bonus is discovered, the plan to buy a car will be put on the agenda. It is very inconvenient to have no means of transportation in Los Angeles.
"Jingle Bell…"
The phone rang.
is David's number.
"Hello."
"There is a case, where are you?"
"Are you coming to pick me up?"
"Stop talking nonsense, go to the scene of the crime immediately, the captain is very urgent."
"I'm at Daisy's."
Luke got up to wash up, woke up Daisy, said a few sweet words, and the siren sounded outside.
"Didi..."
"I have to go, see you tonight."
"Are there any tasks?"
"Yes." Luke kissed Daisy on the forehead and left Daisy's house.
It was still drizzling in the yard, and the fresh air was blowing in. He quite liked this kind of weather, and it was the most suitable for sleeping in.
Luke got on the co-pilot, and David stepped on the accelerator.
"Are you planning to eat soft food?"
"I have this capital, it's useless for you to be jealous."
"As someone who has experienced it, I advise you not to live in a woman's house. It's okay for a short time, but after a long time..."
Luke interrupted his nagging, "I've already rented the house."
"Good, more enlightened than that guy Marcus."
"Don't compare me with him." Luke spread his hands and leaned back in a comfortable position, "What case?"
"Riley Harry was shot."
"Should I know her?"
"She's a congressman for California's 3rd District."
"Wow, big shot."
"Yeah, there must be more reporters around the scene than the police, get ready to be on TV."
Maca Community.
This is a high-end community with a swimming pool as standard, and those who can live here are either rich or expensive.
Both Luke and David came here for the first time, but they found the congresswoman's house easily. Just as David guessed, the car of the TV station was already parked near the congresswoman's house.
The reporters surrounded the door with long guns and short guns, like sharks smelling blood.
The patrolmen had already pulled up the cordon and showed their police badges before they were put into the yard, and there was still a burst of 'clicking' shutter sound.
The yard is very large, with a small garden on the left, a swimming pool on the right, and a beautiful two-story villa in the middle. The design is very modern, with all tall French windows, very beautiful.
In the lobby, Deputy Director Reid is on the phone.
Susan is also on the phone.
The deputy team, Raymond, and Marcus are at the search site.
Jenny is comforting an Asian woman.
The investigation team and the forensic doctor have also arrived, and the whole scene is busy and orderly.
After greeting everyone, Luke also began to check the scene.
A white woman was lying in a pool of blood, wearing a home pajamas, her hands and feet were bound, and there was a big blood-stained hole on her head, which looked a little scary.
The cabinets in the living room were all opened, and a lot of sundries were thrown on the ground, making it a mess.
There are some muddy shoe prints around, extending all the way to the door.
Jenny shouted, "Luke, I need your help."
"What's wrong?"
"She is the reporter Huifang. Wang, Chinese, American English is not very good, can only speak some simple sentences, it is difficult to take notes."
"Leave it to me." This is the importance of knowing one more language.
Who else but me?
"Ms. Wang, can you understand Chinese?"
Wang Huifang was slightly taken aback, "Yes, you speak Mandarin really well."
"Of course, my grandfather is from Jingoutun."
Wang Huifang “…”
Luke saw that she was a little nervous, and wanted to ease the atmosphere, but she didn't understand.
"I want to make a record for you."
"Okay, you can ask."
"What is your relationship with the dead?"
"I am the nanny hired by Ms. Riley. I usually come home to make breakfast at seven o'clock in the morning. As soon as I walked in, I saw her lying in a pool of blood, so I called the police directly."
"Did you touch the dead body or the contents of the house?"
"I'm so terrified that I can't move anything."
"Did you see any suspicious people when you came?"
"No."
"Does Ms. Riley understand Chinese?"
“I don’t understand, we can do some simple communication in American English. I have been trying to learn American English, but it is difficult to learn a new language when I am old.
Ms. Riley is a nice person and would like to have me work here. She is still young and shouldn't just die like this.
Please be sure to catch the murderer. "
"We will do our best." Luke asked a few more words, but did not get any valuable clues.
Ten minutes later.
Rett called everyone together.
"Everyone, I just finished talking with the director on the phone. The senior management of the Municipal Bureau attaches great importance to this case and asked the police detectives to solve the case within 3 days."
The deputy team complained, "Time is too tight, investigating a case is not just talking about it at the conference table."
"I have tried my best." Reid shook his head and said helplessly, "But this is a joint decision of the Director's Committee, and the Director himself cannot change it.
Cancel all vacations from now on, any questions? "
Everyone looked at Luke.
Luke spread his hands, "Can I make up time off?"
"I'll take it as if you agreed." Deputy Director Reid nodded and continued, "Everyone has seen the scene, so let's talk about your views on the case."
Jenny stared at the phone and said, "Matthew sent the deceased's information.
Name, Riley Harry
Date of Birth, April 13, 1976
Mobile phone number, 6262764378.
Address, No. 108, Maca Community
Family status, single, both parents died; younger brother Maguire Harry.
The deputy team shrugged, "46 years old and still unmarried, is this the standard for a strong woman?"
Susan said, "Deputy team, now is not the time to discuss this issue."
"You're right, I'm about to talk about the case."
The deputy team analyzed, "My first impression of this scene is that it resembles a robbery and murder scene.
However, luxury houses like this all have security systems. Once the security system is triggered, the police will be called, and they will not wait for the reporter to find out.
So, the murderer should not have forced his way in, but probably an acquaintance. "
Susan asked, "What did the others find?"
Forensic doctor Sheila came over, "Director, captain, I need to talk to you."
Rett asked back, "Completed the autopsy?"
"No, I found some special circumstances. The victim had three fingers in her mouth, and these three fingers did not belong to her."
Rett frowned, "So, there might be another dead person?"
Sheila sighed softly, "Three to be exact."
It will be available at noon tomorrow.
