"Dingling bell..."
Luke's cell phone rang, it was Xiao Hei calling.
"Hey, this call is just in time. We have discovered something here and are preparing to notify you."
"What discovery?"
"A body was found near where we abandoned the car."
"Badman Pall's body?"
"No." Luke responded and asked, "Have you found any clues about Potter Metheus?"
"Not yet, but I discovered another situation."
"what's the situation."
Xiao Hei gave it a try and said, "You'll know when you get here."
"where?"
“Bernard Motel.”
Luke frowned slightly, "You went to find the driver Badman Pall's wife?"
…
Half an hour later.
Luke and David drove to the Bernard Motel.
After seeing Xiao Hei, David couldn't help but cursed, "Fuck, when will you change your bad habits? If you continue like this, sooner or later you will die from a woman."
Xiao Hei spread his hands and said with an innocent look, "You misunderstood, I'm not here to find a woman, I just happened to pass by when I was inquiring about Porter Michus."
David stared at him, "Do you think I'm an idiot? This ghost place is so remote, and you happened to be passing by?"
Xiao Hei was defeated and said, "You are right, I did come to see Laura Pall and her son, but it's not what you think. I just felt that it was difficult for them as a mother and son, and I wanted to help them.
You have to believe me."
David said, "If you want us to believe you, do something serious."
Luke stepped forward to smooth things over, "Marcus, you said on the phone that you had found something. What happened?"
"You will know when you go in and take a look."
Luke didn't waste any time and went straight into the motel to find Laura Pall's guest room.
"Dong dong..."
The door opened.
Standing at the door is the little boy.
"Hi, boy..." Luke just said hello when he noticed a bruise on the child's face, which was obviously swollen.
"How are you?"
The child lowered his head and said, "I'm fine."
"Where's your mother? I want to talk to her."
The little boy opened the door and stepped aside.
Luke entered the guest room and saw Laura Pall sitting on the sofa, also with her head lowered, "Officer Luke, are you here too?"
Luke was a little puzzled. He said this without looking at others?
When I walked in, I saw that Laura Pall also seemed to have injuries on her face, "Laura, raise your head."
Laura Pall slowly raised her head, her face was bruised and purple, and her eyes were swollen.
"What happened?"
"Some trivia."
"What trivia?"
"I went to the supermarket to buy something, and I had a conflict with someone and had a fight. The other person was worse off than me. I'm fine. I'll be fine in a few days."
"Hey boy, would you like to hang out with Marcus? I want to talk to your mom alone."
The little boy nodded and followed Xiao Hei out.
David closed the door and observed the situation in the room.
Luke sat next to the sofa and continued to ask, "Laura, what happened? I'm a police officer, don't use such lame excuses to deal with me."
"Officer Luke, I'm not lying to you, it was really just a fight."
"Who hit you? What was his name?"
"I don't know, and I'm not going to call the police because I hit her too. You know... sometimes fights between women are crazy."
Luke nodded, "Then let's change the topic?"
"How is your family's financial situation?"
"That's it. I'm a full-time housewife and I rely on my husband to make money alone."
"How much does Badman Pall earn per month?"
"About more than five thousand dollars."
"Did he have any extra income, like bringing back a large amount of cash?"
Laura Pall pursed her lips and answered simply "No."
"Think again. Money that doesn't belong to you is not yours after all, and it may bring disaster to you."
"Really do not have."
Luke left a business card and said, "Call me if you need anything."
"Thank you." Laura Pall sent the two of them out of the guest room.
David asked in a low voice, "What do you think she is hiding?"
Luke thought for a while, "Badman Pall has a very close relationship with Congressman Riley Harry. He is not only her driver, but also helps her with some things.
For example, they bribed the gunman and directed and staged an attack.
Riley Harry will not meet directly with the shooter, nor will she handle money matters.
According to my analysis, Badman Pall is likely to receive kickbacks from it.
If Badman Pall encounters danger, he will definitely leave this money to his wife and children.
The money is not clean, but as long as the money goes into the pocket, no one wants to take it out easily."
…
The two left the hotel and saw Xiao Hei and Laura Pall's son chatting.
Luke waved and got into the black Dodge car.
After a while, the little boy returned to the guest room.
Xiao Hei also got into the Dodge car, "How was your chat? Did Laura say something?"
"She's very tight-lipped." Luke asked, "How was your conversation with that boy?"
Xiao Hei sighed, "I did get some information, but... it's always like this, I feel guilty."
David shook his head, "Bullshit, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you are just a heartless guy."
Xiaohei seemed a little afraid of David, or maybe he didn't care at all, "I was chatting with Jaden just now, and the person who beat him and Raul was Raul's brother."
"why?"
"Jaden doesn't know the specific situation very well. He only knows that Badman Pall put a lot of money at Laura's brother's house. Laura went to withdraw the money last night, but her brother refused, and the two started fighting.
That bastard also beat Jaden." Xiao Hei said with a little anger in his tone.
David ignored Luke next to him, "It seems you guessed it right, it is indeed related to the stolen money." Then he looked at Xiao Hei aside, "Do you know where Laura's brother's home is?"
"Yeah, Jaden told me. He trusts me very much." Xiao Hei was a little depressed.
Luke took out his cell phone and contacted Susan to apply for a search warrant.
…
after an hour.
The three of them arrived at a poor community.
Xiao Hei got out of the car, glanced around, and opened his arms, "No one is more familiar with this place than me, no one."
Luke and David ignored him and checked their pistols.
Xiao Hei walked to a dilapidated house and knocked on the door, "Dong dong..."
"Creak..." The door opened, but it was still padlocked, and a black man in his thirties showed his head, "Who are you looking for?"
