Three o'clock in the afternoon.

The plane arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, and Luke and Orti parted ways at the airport.

Luke drove directly to the detective station.

So far, two kidnappings have occurred in Los Angeles. The first kidnapping occurred on the night of March 10. The son of real estate tycoon Gary Sane was kidnapped on a yacht. Luke saw it on the morning of March 11.

This news and the situation of this case were also seen in the news, so my understanding is limited.

The second kidnapping occurred on the night of March 11. The daughter of the rich man Bruce Redman was kidnapped. He also asked the police to ask Luke to participate in the investigation. However, Luke was on vacation in Hawaii at the time, and the other party found him.

After the Pinkerton Detective Agency paid a million dollars in lobbying fees, Orti personally asked Luke to return to Los Angeles.

As of today, it is already March 14th, and the best opportunity for a kidnapping has been missed. This is why Luke rushed to the police station as soon as he got off the plane.

One more minute of delay will put the hostages in more danger.

…

Robbery and Murder Division Office.

Rhett sat at his desk, closed the folder in his hand, took a sip of coffee from the table, and said, "Matthew, get the list of car owners who drove around the kidnapping site between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m.

Give me."

"Here I am." The deputy team member threw a folder over and said with a smile, "Red, it feels so good to work with you. It feels like I'm back twenty years ago."

Rhett smiled and said, "If I could go back twenty years ago, I think I could overcome the difficulty of working with you, haha."

The deputy team leader was dissatisfied and said, "Difficulty, what difficulty can there be in working with me? Also, why do you want to come to our office?"

Do you think we can’t solve the case without Luke’s presence?”

"No, that's not what I meant. I just don't want to betray the trust of the victim's family and I will do my best.

After all, this case was originally investigated by the FBI, but they chose the Detective Bureau.

But there has been no progress in the investigation of the case." Rhett spread his hands.

The deputy team's momentum weakened and he said harshly, "The case will make progress soon, believe me."

Rhett looked at his watch, "You don't have much time left..."

The deputy team member frowned and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Rhett didn't answer.

A few minutes later, the office door was pushed open and Luke walked into the 1st Squadron office.

"Hi guys, good afternoon."

"Captain, you're back!" Jackson said in surprise.

Xiao Hei opened his arms and said, "Hey, welcome home. Did you have fun in Hawaii? I'm also going to take my family on a trip to Hawaii this year."

"It's not bad, but I haven't had enough fun yet."

The deputy team member sighed secretly, missing another opportunity to perform.

He also understood what Red just said.

Luke said to Red, "Director, are you here too? I still want to find you in your office."

"To be honest, I miss my office a little bit." Rhett glanced at the deputy team, stood up, and asked, "We are now responsible for investigating the kidnapping of Bruce Redman's daughter. Are you ready to take over?"

Are the pieces ready?"

"Of course." Luke nodded and said, "But before that, I want to know why the FBI was not involved in the investigation of this case?

This is not their style."

Rhett nodded, "That's a good question. Before Bruce Redman's daughter was kidnapped, the son of real estate tycoon Gary Sane was kidnapped.

That case was investigated by the FBI, but you should have seen the result. Gary Sane's son was kidnapped on the night of March 10th, and it was reported in the news on the morning of the 11th.

Everyone in Los Angeles knew that Gary Sane's son had been kidnapped.

No matter which channel leaked the information, the FBI has to take the blame.

This is also the reason why Bruce Redman does not want the FBI to take over the case. If the news of Bruce Redman's daughter's kidnapping is also leaked, the kidnappers will most likely protest.

So, Bruce Redman wants the LAPD to investigate the kidnapping of his daughter."

Luke said, "So Anthony is in trouble?"

"It depends on whether he can save the son of real estate tycoon Gary Sane." Rhett sighed. In his opinion, this possibility is extremely small. Now everyone in Los Angeles knows that Gary Sane

My son has been kidnapped. How could the kidnappers not know that the FBI or the police have been involved in the investigation, and the possibility of continuing the transaction is extremely slim.

The biggest possibility is to directly kill Gary Sane's son.

Luke asked, "Are these two incidents related?"

Reid said, "The two incidents were committed at close times, one on the night of March 10 and the other on the night of March 11.

In addition, the place where Gary Sane's son was kidnapped was on a yacht, and we found a bloody letter V on the yacht.

The robber who kidnapped Bruce Redman's daughter also called himself Mr. V when he made the extortion call.

Therefore, we speculate that there may be a certain connection between the two incidents."

The deputy team continued, "In fact, the most likely possibility is that after Mr. V kidnapped Gary Sane's son, he found out that Gary Sane called the police and was on the news. He felt that the risk of the transaction was too high. So he

Chosen to kidnap a second hostage, Bruce Redman’s daughter.”

Luke nodded, "The time is right, and the V mark also makes sense."

Since the FBI is responsible for the kidnapping of real estate tycoon Gary Sane's son, let Anthony have the headache. He only needs to investigate the kidnapping of Bruce Redman's daughter.

Luke asked, "What clues have been found about Bruce Redman's daughter being kidnapped?"

The deputy team said, "On March 12, Bruce Redman received a blackmail call from the kidnapper, claiming that her daughter had been kidnapped and asked him to prepare 5,000 ounces of gold to redeem her daughter. Because it takes time to redeem gold, the transaction took time

The transaction location has not yet been revealed.

Afterwards, Bruce Redman called the police.

After we took over the case, we began to investigate the situation of Bruce Redman's daughter.

Bruce Redman's daughter is Yinsha Redman, who is still a college student. On the night of March 11, she went to a classmate's house for a party.

After that, I sent a text message to my parents saying that I would not go home, but would go back to the school dormitory to live.

At that time, Yinsha Redman's parents didn't think much about it until they received a blackmail call the next day.

Afterwards, we went to the school to verify that Yinsha Redman did not return to school at all that night."

The deputy team member glanced at the notes and continued, "Furthermore, according to Yinsha Redman's father, he called his daughter at 11:30 pm on the 11th, but her daughter did not answer and only responded to a text message.

'Dad, I have returned to the dormitory. I just went to take a shower. It's very late, so I won't call you back. Good night. I love you.'

So I guess that Yinsha Redman was kidnapped before 11:30 pm on the 11th."

Luke said, "In other words, Yinsha Redman may have been kidnapped after attending a party at a classmate's house."

"That's right." The deputy continued, "We asked people who attended the party that night. According to them, the party ended at 11:30, but according to the surveillance, Yinsha Redman left at 11:00.

She went to a classmate's house, and no one saw her again after that.

We also asked and investigated some people who attended the party, but no one knew where she went."

Luke thought for a moment and said, "What about community road monitoring?"

The deputy team member said, "We investigated cars that met the conditions for fraud from the night of March 11th to the early morning of March 12th, but there are no suspicious vehicles yet.

Moreover, Yinsha Redman attended the party in a classmate’s car, she did not drive her own car.”

Xiao Hei said, "Gerry Sane, the son of the real estate tycoon, was kidnapped from the yacht. They were probably having a party at the time.

Yinsha Redman was also kidnapped at a party, which means the two cases have one more thing in common."

The deputy team leader shook his head, "This is nothing in common. Those rich second generations are either having a party or on their way to a party. I'm not surprised at all."

Luke asked, "Did everyone at the party ask?"

Reid said, "At first we were worried that the news would leak out, so we only selectively contacted people who attended the party. However, the investigation of the case made no progress and we had to expand the scope of the inquiry. More than a dozen people who attended the party that night had already

After questioning, they all claimed that they had not seen Yinsha Redman since eleven o'clock, and no one had taken Yinsha Redman away."

Luke said, "Get the transcripts of the people who attended the party, and also the video of her appearing in the surveillance."

Matthew said, "Leave the surveillance video to me."

Jackson said, "Captain, within ten minutes, I will put all the transcripts on your desk."

"Thank you." Luke stood up, ready to drink a cup of coffee and start working.

Subsequently, the transcripts of each party participant were reviewed in detail, but no valuable clues were found.

He began to check the surveillance related to Yinsha Redman again. There were two parts to the surveillance atmosphere. One was surveillance in the public area of ​​the lobby, and the other was surveillance at the door.

The surveillance at the door showed that Yinsha Redman attended the party around eight o'clock in the evening, and there were many classmates at the time.

A person left the house alone at 11 o'clock in the evening. However, the surveillance area at the door of the room was limited and we could not see where she went. We only knew that she did not return to the house after leaving.
