"Dingling bell..."

Luke's cell phone rang.

Luke took a look and saw that it was his spare mobile phone card number, and the call came from an unknown number.

He pressed the answer button and said, "Hello, who are you calling?"

The other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, and then a man's voice rang out, "I saw a banner looking for witnesses at the intersection of Vios Avenue and Stavin Street...it has your contact information on it, is it true?"

Luke made a silence gesture to everyone, "I am Luke Lee, captain of the 1st Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division, and we did hang up that banner.

Between 10:30 and 11 o'clock in the evening on September 15, a criminal case occurred at that intersection. We are looking for witnesses to the case.

Were you near the intersection?"

"Well, I happened to be doing errands nearby at about ten o'clock that night, and I did see a man and a woman having sex on the roadside.

However, I don’t know if he is the person you are looking for.”

"Sir, what's your name? Do you remember the exact time?"

"Tommy, just call me Tommy. It will be around ten forty."

"Describe what those two people look like."

"A young woman, blond hair, white, a little far away, I didn't see her face clearly, her clothes were a little revealing, she had a good figure.

As for the man, I didn't pay much attention at the time. He was probably a white man, wearing a black baseball cap. His body was blocked by the car, so I couldn't see it clearly."

"The two of them talking next to the car?"

"Yes."

"Is that car running?"

"Yes, the car's taillights are on."

"Tommy, I'd like you to describe that car in detail." This car is likely the suspect's vehicle.

Tommy was silent for a while and asked instead, "I remember the banner at the intersection said that if you provide clues to the case, you can get a reward. Is it true?"

"it is true."

"Great, my current financial situation is not very good, I need this money."

"As long as you can provide valuable clues, the money is yours."

"So how much can I get specifically? Is it cash?"

"From one thousand dollars to three thousand dollars, cash check is fine."

"Captain Li, there is a big difference between one thousand US dollars and three thousand US dollars. I want to know an exact figure instead of being deceived.

Because usually only one thousand US dollars is given in this case, which is the minimum amount.

I still want to ask clearly first."

Luke could tell that this guy was not an enthusiastic citizen, he was just here for the bonus.

The case happened at night, and the location was relatively remote. There were very few people passing by. This was also the first witness to call so far.

Luke had no choice. Fortunately, Rhett was more capable and the funds for this case were relatively abundant, so he could still afford the $3,000.

"Tommy, let's meet. It's more appropriate to discuss this kind of thing face to face."

The other end of the phone hesitated, "Listen, I don't want to cause trouble, nor do I want to be involved in a criminal case... I just happened to see it and wanted to help that girl..."

"I understand, you don't need to be nervous.

Being able to make this call proves that you are a responsible and caring Los Angeles citizen. On behalf of lapd, I would like to thank you." Luke first made his attitude clear, and then talked about the key points.

"The more valuable the clues you provide, the greater the bonus you will receive. There is no doubt about this."

"How can I get three thousand US dollars? There should be a standard."

"As long as the clues you provide can help us identify the suspect, we will receive three thousand dollars."

"Is the situation I just mentioned okay?"

"What you just said is understood by the police and there is no substantive content.

Of course, if you can describe the suspicious car in detail, its color, model and license plate number, that will be a valuable clue."

Tommy said, "The car should be a black sedan.

I also drove by. The car was going very fast at the time, so I didn’t see the license plate number clearly and didn’t pay much attention.

However, my driving record may have captured it."

"OK, as long as you tell us the license plate number and the police verify that it is the suspect vehicle, the three thousand dollars will be yours."

“My driving recorder did capture it, but the pixels of my camera are average, and I was driving relatively fast, so the light was not good.

I just took a look and couldn't distinguish the license plate number very clearly.

Can I get three thousand dollars?"

Luke explained patiently, "I suggest you hand over the dash cam video to the police first. As long as your dash cam captures the victim and the police can get some valuable clues from the video, they can get a thousand dollars."

.

If you can provide a clear license plate number, you can get $3,000.

If the license plate cannot be clearly seen in the driving recorder video, the police will use technical means to deal with it. If the license plate number can be clearly seen after processing, they will give you an additional amount of money.

"How much?"

"Five hundred to a thousand dollars." Luke felt like he was discussing business rather than investigating a case, but this was very Californian.

"Do you mean what you say?"

"Of course, we can sign an agreement first.

Where are you now?"

"I'm downstairs at the detective station now."

Luke walked to the window and looked around. Standing at the door of the police detective station was a black man making a phone call. He kept looking around, looking a little nervous.

"You go into the building and I'll have someone pick you up."

Later, Blackie took Tommy to the Detective Bureau office.

A black man in his twenties looked at Luke and others with a slightly wary and uneasy look.

Luke arranged for Xiao Hei to take notes for him.

According to Tommy, he didn't pay much attention to what happened that night, and he didn't remember it very clearly, so he didn't provide any valuable clues.

However, he brought the driving recorder video.

Luke handed the video over to the technical team for processing. After some professional operations, the video became much clearer.

At 10:42 p.m., a car driving through an intersection photographed a man and woman on the side of the road. The two were pulling and seemed to have had a dispute.

The physical characteristics of the woman and the victim were similar.

The man had his back to the camera and was wearing a baseball cap. His appearance was not photographed, and most of his body was obscured by the black car. However, judging from the exposed skin, he should be a white man.

More importantly, after the video has been sharpened, the license plate number can be roughly seen clearly.

License plate number, 8evs834

Owner, Herson Sweeney

Sex: Male

Age, 38 years old

…

Soma community.

On the roadside, there is a white two-story villa.

The villa is divided into a front and backyard, surrounded by a wooden fence. A white man is mowing the lawn in the backyard.

Two black cars stopped on the side of the road, and four people got out of the car.

It's Luke, Blackie, Jackson, and Jenny.

If you look closely, there is a Mexican man sitting in the cab of the second car.

Everyone acted separately.

Jenny and Xiao Hei were in the front yard, and Luke took Jackson to the backyard.

Luke took Jackson around the yard and saw no suspect car, and the garage door was closed.
