Chapter 27 Accident
"You are very eloquent, and I am convinced by you. Let me think about it." Paul pressed his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers, and his bright red nails were very eye-catching.
"I remembered that there was indeed a conflict between a customer and Alyssa."
"when?"
"It's been about a month."
"What's his name?"
"I don't know." Paul shrugged, "This is a club, not a bank. It's impossible to record every customer's information."
"Describe his characteristics."
Paul recalled for a moment, "A white man, about thirty years old, with curly hair, medium height, and an accent that sounds like a local."
Luke wrote down in his notebook, "There are too many people with these characteristics. Can you be more specific?"
"Do you know how many guests there are in the venue in a day? There are too many. I can't remember everyone clearly. I only met him once, and I'm not very familiar with him. I only remember these."
"What conflict does the man you mentioned have with Alyssa?"
"That day, he ordered a solo performance in the backstage cabin. He moved his hands and feet during Alyssa's performance, and the two of them had a conflict. Fortunately, the security guard stopped it in time and no major problems occurred."
"There was another time when the guy was drunk and wanted to ask Alyssa to perform alone, but Alyssa refused. After that, he cursed a lot of nasty things, which made Alyssa cry.
I was not present the second time, otherwise, I would not have let him leave so easily."
"Do you think it was him who posted the photo?"
"I don't know, but in my impression only he and Alyssa had conflicts."
"Do you have a picture of that guy?"
"No, I told you that taking pictures is not allowed in the venue."
"There will always be surveillance. I want to check the surveillance on the day of the incident."
"It's been almost a month since the conflict occurred. I'm not sure whether the monitoring can still be saved."
Luke said, "Just take a look and you will know."
Paul stood up and said, "OK, come with me."
Later, Paul took the two of them into a surveillance room of about ten square meters. The room was filled with the smell of tobacco, beer bottles, and takeaway boxes.
David frowned, "This place is messier than a pig's nest. Find someone to clean it up."
"Yes, sir." Paul responded reluctantly and called the club's cleaner to clean.
Taking advantage of this moment, Luke asked, "Paul, can you recall the specific time when the conflict occurred, and also, which surveillance camera can capture the location of the conflict."
Paul complained, "Hmm, you guys are asking for a lot."
David glanced sideways at him, already displeased with this sinister guy, "Yeah, so you'd better cooperate with our work, and we can leave early so as not to delay your evening business."
"Is this a threat?"
“Friendly advice.”
"That doesn't seem friendly to me at all."
David curled his lips, "If you knew me, you wouldn't think so."
Luke smiled, "Here's a hint, this guy is a complete asshole, ignore him."
People are afraid of comparisons. Paul was not attracted to Luke at first, but when compared with David, Luke immediately became more pleasing to the eye.
Paul stood with his arms folded for a while, deliberately turning his head away from David, and said to Luke, "I recalled carefully, the conflict between that man and Alyssa was probably in mid-February, probably February.
It was the 13th of the month, maybe the 14th or the 15th, I can’t remember the specific day.”
"Where's the time?"
"Our business hours are from eight o'clock in the evening to two o'clock in the morning. Alyssa usually dances in the middle of the night and can get off work before twelve o'clock. The time when they clashed should be between nine o'clock and eleven o'clock in the evening."
"Thank you, you saved us a lot of time." Luke pulled up a chair and sat down, and began to check the surveillance in mid-February.
There is nothing unusual about the video on February 13th.
In the video of February 14th, at 9:13 pm, Luke saw Alyssa in the video. She entered the small room backstage, and a white curly-haired man followed her in. However, the man’s back was to the surveillance camera and he could not see him clearly.
s face.
After about a few minutes, Alyssa ran out of the hut, covering her chest with her right hand, pointing at the hut with her left hand, and seemed to be shouting loudly.
Immediately, the curly-haired man also came out, holding a bottle of beer in his left hand, pointing at Alyssa with his right hand, and kept saying something.
Then the security guards came and separated the two people.
Luke stared at the curly-haired man. From this angle, he could see his face.
He felt that the man looked familiar, so he zoomed in on part of the video and recognized the man.
"David, guess who I found?"
David smiled, "It can't be that bastard Marcus, right? I'm not surprised at all that he's here."
"It's Harry, the temporary informant you just developed for the drag racing gang."
David leaned over to check, "It's really this guy." David pointed at the video and asked Paul beside him, "Is he the one who had a conflict with Alyssa?"
Paul glanced sideways at David, walked over reluctantly, looked at the man on the screen, and said, "It's him."
David frowned and said, "Is this guy related to Alyssa's disappearance?"
Luke analyzed the trend, "I remember the first time we met Harry, he knew Tony.
Assume that Tony only purchased a modified Taser but was not a suspect in the Taser robbery.
Could it be that Harry used that gun to commit the crime, or that Tony's purchase of the gun itself was ordered by Harry."
David suddenly felt a little ridiculous. If Luke's assumption was correct, then Harry was probably the real suspect in the Taser robbery. He asked him to find Tony. If he could find it, there would be something wrong. Maybe Tony had been silenced.
Luke said, "No matter what, this guy is related to the case, so ask him out first and get him under control."
David nodded and took out his cell phone to make a call.
Luke reminded, "Have you thought about what to say after the call is connected? Don't make this kid alert."
"Don't say anything first, just ask him to meet."
Luke shook his head, "If I were him, I would definitely run."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"If you want to ask him out, you must have a reasonable reason to make him feel that he has not been suspected by the police..." Luke pondered for a moment and continued,
"Ask him to help check out Logan Salmu's background. If he doesn't want to, you can give him money."
David's face looked a little ugly, "You are the bastard."
Luke explained, "If Harry was involved in the Taser robbery, he must have figured out Logan's situation last time you asked him to check Lindsay's address... This is a good reason, and he should not
Will be suspicious."
David felt very unhappy, but he had to admit that this was indeed a good reason, at least it would not make Harry suspicious.
It is perfectly normal for the police to punish a man who is fooling around with his wife.
"asshole."
David muttered again, and then reluctantly dialed Harry's cell phone,
"Hi, I'm Harry. I'm very busy right now. If you have anything, please leave a message..."
