Chapter 395 Reciprocity(1/2)
Luke put the floor plan of the Getty Museum on the projector, "Can anyone see where this is?"
Everyone stared at the floor plan for a while, Xiao Hei shook his head, "It looks like a museum, art gallery, memorial hall, etc. There are so many buildings like this in Los Angeles, I have no clue at all."
Jenny frowned and thought, "It looks familiar."
Jackson echoed, "Yes, it looks familiar to me too."
Luke stopped being pretentious and revealed the answer, "This is the floor plan of the Getty Museum."
Jackson suddenly realized, "Yes, it's the Getty Museum. Why does it look so familiar to me?"
The deputy team member snapped his fingers, "I read a piece of news while having breakfast. In the early morning of the 30th, ten precious oil paintings were stolen from the Getty Museum."
Luke said, "I also heard the news. It is said that the museum has even offered a valuable reward."
Xiao Hei said, "The murdered police officer James Jauregui was killed on the night of December 25, and the oil painting was stolen in the early morning of December 30. The two cases were only four days apart. Is there any connection between them?"
In addition, police officer James Jauregui also found 200,000 US dollars in cash and a large number of Getty Museum floor plans in the warehouse. Although I don't want to believe it, but these..." Xiao Hei showed an expression that you know.
.
The deputy team concluded, "You suspect that police officer James Jauregui is related to the theft of the oil painting from the Getty Museum. He may even have been killed because of the oil painting."
Xiao Hei spread his hands, "Don't say you don't think so."
This time, Luke did not refute Xiao Hei. If there were only 200,000 US dollars in the warehouse, it would be difficult to doubt his colleagues without evidence.
However, a floor plan of the Getty Museum was also found in the warehouse, and an oil painting from the Getty Museum had just been robbed. The combination of these three things is very suspicious.
"Deputy team, you are taking notes with James Jauregui's fiancée. Did she show any abnormality?"
"No, I didn't see anything unusual about her. However, according to her, the deceased, James Jauregui, had been in a bad mood recently and was very busy. He seemed to be often troubled by work matters.
However, I asked the patrol officer who was with me yesterday and also checked the duty records of James Jauregui. His recent duty hours were not much different from those before, and there were no major problems in his recent work.
Obviously there must be something else that is causing him trouble."
Luke asked, "Have you spoken to Timo Janssen, Jens Jauregui's partner?"
"No, I heard that the death of James Jauregui had a great impact on him and he is temporarily on leave."
…
Suvina Community.
Home of Constable Timo Jensen.
The relationship between patrol partners is very close and they are the most important helpers and supports.
There are some things that the deceased James Jauregui might not tell his girlfriend, but he certainly can't hide them from his partner Timo Janssen.
Luke took Porter to the home of police officer Timo Jensen.
Porter also worked in the Southern Bureau before, and they will be closer to each other when communicating.
The two came to the door of Timo Janson's house, and Porter knocked on the door, "Dong dong..."
After a while, the door opened.
Timo Janssen stood at the door, his hair was messy and he smelled of alcohol. He looked at Luke and then at Potter, "You look familiar, I should have seen you before."
"My name is Porter. I used to work in the Southern Bureau. I was just transferred to the Detective Bureau not long ago.
I'm very sorry about what happened to Jens Jauregui."
Timo Jansen stepped aside and said, "Please come in."
Luke and Potter walked into the house. The house was not large in area. In front of the entrance was the living room and on the right was the dining room. The style was very unified, but the words were confusing.
Timo Janssen threw the takeaway box and wine bottle into the trash can, "Sorry, I've been a little lazy recently and haven't put them away for a long time."
Porter sighed, "Man, I have also encountered the same experience as you. I know that this time is very difficult and painful.
But you have to cheer up.
James Jauregui doesn’t want to see a decadent you either.”
"I know.
Has the investigation of the case made any progress? Are there any clues to the murderer?"
Luke said, "It's more complicated. The death of James Jauregui may be involved in other cases. The pistol that killed James Jauregui also killed other people on December 17. We came here today to find out
You know something."
"OK, you can ask, as long as it helps the case, I will do it without reservation.
I just hope that the murderer of James can be caught as soon as possible." Timo Janssen scratched his head hard and said in a hoarse voice, "If...
I was smarter and didn't go after that bastard, but fought alongside Jens...
Maybe nothing will happen to him.
I have never been able to face his fiancée. I should have told her personally about this, but I didn't have the courage...
Please, you must catch the murderer of James, you must.”
"We will try our best." Luke responded and asked, "My colleague talked to the fiancée of James Jauregui. According to her, James Jauregui has been in some abnormal moods recently, and
If you often work overtime, you may encounter some difficulties at work.
Is there anything similar?"
Timo Jensen thought for a while and said, "No, our work in the recent period is no different from before. He has not encountered any difficulties in his work, and there is nothing special."
Luke asked, "Then why did James Jauregui's fiancée say that he has been very busy recently?"
Timo Jensen said, "Jans has been working part-time recently, so he seems to be quite busy. I think this is the reason."
"Why does he have a part-time job?"
"Jans is engaged to his girlfriend and they are going to get married next summer.
James loves his girlfriend very much and hopes to give her an unforgettable wedding, which requires a lot of money.
So, he has been working part-time secretly to prepare a surprise for his girlfriend."
"Where does he work part-time?"
"Working as a security guard at a museum."
"What museum?"
"The Getty Museum, you should go there."
"Yes, in fact I just went there not long ago."
"How much does he earn working as a security guard at a museum?"
"It's not bad. It's much higher than the overtime pay paid by the police station. It's also more relaxed and not dangerous.
You should know that many police officers work as part-time security guards. They have experience, good marksmanship, no stage fright, and can step in at critical moments. Many security teams will hire police officers to work part-time."
“Did you also work part-time as a security guard at the Getty Museum?”
"I haven't worked at the Getty Museum, but I've worked as a security guard elsewhere and it's much easier than being a police officer."
“How long has Timo Janssen been working part-time at the Getty Museum?”
"About three months."
"How much income do you think he can earn during this period?"
"I haven't asked the specific amount, but it should be several thousand dollars." Timo Jansen said, frowning slightly, "Why do you care about this matter? As far as I know, many police officers have done similar part-time jobs, and some have
What’s the problem?”
Luke did not answer directly. It is definitely no problem to work part-time, but judging from the two hundred thousand dollars found in James Jauregui's warehouse, this matter is not as simple as working part-time.
James Jauregui works part-time as a security guard at the Getty Museum, which increasingly proves that he may be related to the robbery of the Getty Museum's oil painting.
Later, Luke took out photos of the people involved in another homicide for Timo Jensen to identify, but Timo Jensen had not seen these people.
Apart from the fact that the deceased was killed with the same pistol, there is currently no common ground between the two murders.
Now James Jauregui has been linked to the robbery of a painting from the Getty Museum.
If James Jauregui was really killed because of the oil painting robbery, then the murderer who killed James Jauregui and the person who robbed the oil painting may be closely related, and may even be the same group of people.
Luke felt that it was necessary to learn more about the oil painting robbery case, and even consider investigating the case together.
…
Inside a black Ford Explorer.
Xiao Hei was sitting in the passenger compartment with the window half-open, holding a cigarette in his right hand and looking like he was enjoying himself.
Jackson, who was driving, glanced at him and asked, "Where are we going now?"
Little Underworld, "The bar on the east side of Micron Street."
"What are you doing there?"
"Find the Porsche Cayenne used to dump the body."
