Tesro Fitness Club.

This is a well-known chain of fitness clubs in Los Angeles.

The club is located on the third floor of the building. Luke, Xiao Hei and Jackson got off the elevator and saw the fitness club billboard on their right. According to the directions on the billboard, the fitness club is located on the east side of the third floor of the building.

Even if there is no sign, it is not difficult to find. After walking for more than ten meters to the east, you will see the fitness club separated by glass. The club is not small, estimated to be more than 20,000 square feet.

Jackson looked at the gym through the glass and said with some envy, "Wow, I feel like the atmosphere here is great and the fitness equipment is complete."

Xiao Hei Tan Tan said, "The membership card fee will also be 'great'."

Jackson nodded, rarely agreeing with Xiao Hei, "You are right, I want to find a gym to exercise recently. I have researched a lot of gyms, and this gym has good reviews online."

The little gangster said, "So, you are here for an on-the-spot investigation. No wonder you took the initiative to get out of the car and want to come here with us to investigate."

Jackson shrugged, "Half and half, the membership price here is a bit expensive, I don't know if I can afford it?"

During the conversation, the three of them walked to the door of the club. Xiao Hei opened the glass door and walked straight in.

It's almost eight o'clock in the evening, but there are still a lot of people in the gym, including big muscular men and girls wearing yoga pants for fitness.

Xiao Hei pouted, "It's already eight o'clock in the evening, and there are still so many people exercising. Why not do something more meaningful?"

A bald muscular man who was playing with dumbbells heard Xiao Hei's voice, raised his head, and looked over with an unkind look.

Xiao Hei pulled open his shirt, 'accidentally' revealing his pistol, and stared back, "Hey, bald old man, do you have any opinions?"

The bald muscular man looked at the pistol in Xiao Hei's arms, and then at Luke and Jackson. He felt that these three people were not easy to mess with, so he lowered his head in a sensible manner and continued to pound the iron.

"That's right, haha." Xiao Hei smiled wildly.

Jackson walked to the front desk and said to a plump black girl, "Hey, how much is the membership card here?"

The black girl looked up at the three Jacksons and replied, "$5,000 a year."

"Where's the monthly card?"

"$500."

"The price is not cheap." Jackson frowned slightly. Ordinary gyms only cost tens of dollars per month. The price here is ten times higher. This is just the cost of the monthly card. If he wants to pay for personal training, he will definitely pay.

Unaffordable.

The black girl at the front desk said, "We have the most professional coaches here, all kinds of exercise equipment, a yoga studio, a rock climbing gym, a top-floor luxury swimming pool... As long as you train once, you will definitely feel that it is worth your money."

We are doing activities, you only need to fill out a questionnaire and you can try it out in the club."

"Can you do it anytime?"

"certainly."

"E on, there is no need to overspend, let's get down to business." Xiao Hei interrupted Jackson and showed his police badge, "lapd, I want to see the person in charge here."

"Wait a minute." The black girl left the front desk and walked into the cubicle office at the back. After a while, she came out and said, "Sir, come with me."

Under the leadership of the black girl at the front desk, Luke and the other three entered the cubicle office.

Sitting in the office was a young white man about thirty years old, wearing earrings, short yellow hair, very handsome, and with well-developed muscles in his arms.

"Three police officers, welcome to Tesla Fitness Club."

Jackson showed his police badge and introduced, "I am Detective Jackson of the Robbery and Murder Division, and this is our Captain Li."

Seeing that Jackson ignored him, Xiao Hei added, "I am Inspector Marcus."

"Elsie Hux, you can call me Elsie.

Three police officers, what do you want at the club?"

Jackson asked, "Do you know Yinsha Redman?"

"It sounds familiar, but I come into contact with too many people every day, so I'm not sure."

Jackson took out Yinsha Redman's photo and said, "She should be a member here."

Elsie Hex looked at the photo and said, "Yes, she is indeed a member here. Is there any problem?"

"At around nine o'clock in the morning on March 12th, did she come to the fitness club?"

Elsie Hux shook her head and laughed, "I told you, many people come here every day. Even though she is a member here, I can't remember which day she came."

Xiao Hei pointed to the top of his head, "I saw there is surveillance in the club, can you let us take a look?"

Elsie Hex refused, "Sorry, this is not in compliance with the club's rules. We want to ensure the privacy of club members."

Xiao Hei asked, "What time does your club open?"

"The door will open on time at six o'clock in the morning, sir. If you want to apply for a card here, I can consider giving you the highest discount."

Xiao Hei smiled and asked, "What time of day do you have the most customers here?"

"From seven to eight in the morning, by the way, we also have low-fat meals here, which taste great."

Xiao Hei nodded, "OK, see you at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. We will come back with a search warrant. There may be big noise by then, so you'd better notify the members of the fitness club in advance."

Elsie Hux stood up and asked, "Hey, are you threatening me?"

"No, we are just investigating. If you are not willing to help us check the surveillance, we can only apply for a search warrant. It's a very simple question." After Xiao Hei finished speaking, he was about to leave.

"Wait." Elsie Hux stopped Xiao Hei, "I am willing to assist you in the investigation, but I hope you can keep it confidential.

The guests here value privacy and would not want me to hand over surveillance of the club to the police."

Xiao Hei assured, "Mr. Elsie Hux, our investigation process is always confidential, you can rest assured of this."

Elsie Hux walked to the computer, adjusted the surveillance, and asked, "What happened to her? Why do you want to check her whereabouts?"

"She was kidnapped."

"God, this is terrible.

However, I can guarantee that this has nothing to do with our fitness club. If I hand over the monitoring to you, I won’t get the club into trouble."

Xiao Hei sighed, "Please, have some sympathy, you should be worried about Yinsha Redman now.

She is a member of your club, are you going to stand by and watch her kidnapping?"

Elsie Hux got up and stood aside.

Jackson walked to the computer and pulled up the video from March 12, "Captain, I saw Yinsha Redman.

She arrived at the fitness club at 9:20 in the morning and left the club at 10:00. She should not have acted abnormally at that time and she should not have been kidnapped."

Xiao Heidi said, "She did come to the club, which means that her prospective boyfriend did not lie, and the suspicion of her prospective boyfriend can be ruled out."

Elsie Hux also moved closer to the computer screen, "Yinsha Redman left the club, which means that her kidnapping has nothing to do with our club."

Luke asked, "Where can I check the surveillance of the entire building?"

"The guard room on the first floor."

"Thank you." Luke finished his sentence and left the office.

Jackson and Xiao Hei also walked out.

Jackson walked to the front desk, stopped, and looked at the black front desk girl who hesitated to speak.

The black girl straightened her breasts, grinned her thick lips, and said with a smile, "Sir, do you want my phone number?"

"No, I would like a questionnaire."

Black girl "..."

Luke and the other three came to the guard room on the first floor, showed their police badges, and explained their purpose.

After some patient and friendly persuasion, the person in charge of the building agreed for them to check the surveillance system.

It can be seen from the building's surveillance video that Yinsha Redman took the elevator to the underground garage on the first floor after leaving the fitness club.

There is a surveillance blind spot in the underground garage. Yinsha Redman disappeared when passing by a surveillance blind spot.

Luke guessed that she was probably kidnapped here and taken into a car.

Luke checked the surveillance camera at the garage exit again. Shortly after Yinsha Redman disappeared, a red Lexus drove out.

The driver in the cab was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, so his appearance could not be clearly seen. However, his appearance caught Luke's attention. Serious people would not dress like this in the car. It was obviously to avoid being photographed by surveillance cameras.

Luke pointed at the Lexus in the surveillance video and asked the building security guard, "Do you have any information about this car?"

The security guard checked on the computer and said, "Yes, this is a monthly rental car with a fixed parking space. The renter is Yinsha Redman."

Xiaohei looked strange and said, "In other words, Yinsha Redman may have been kidnapped by his own car. But his parents never said anything about the car.

Why didn’t her parents mention such an important clue?”

This is indeed a question, and Luke also wants to talk to Yinsha Redman's parents.

But before that, he must first investigate the underground garage of the fitness club to see if he can find any new clues.

Subsequently, the technical team also rushed to the underground garage to investigate the scene. However, two days had passed since Yinsha Redman was kidnapped. The scene had been destroyed and not much evidence could be found.

Other clues gradually came to Luke. First, he investigated the license plate number of the Lexus. The owner of this car was Yinsha Redman's mother, Mrs. Redman.

Secondly, the exact time Lexus left the garage was 10:20 in the morning, and the kidnapper made the extortion call at 12:00. This time relationship is relatively reasonable.
