"Thank you very much for your help." Kai walked out and expressed his gratitude to the man beside him.
"Don't be polite. Compared with the favor we owe you, this thing is nothing worth mentioning." The person talking to Kai was none other than Captain Hank Boyt of the 21st Precinct of the Chicago Police Department. He had met Kai before.
We had cooperated before and had a pretty good impression of each other, especially Chief Hank who tried to recruit Kai to join the 21st Precinct, but Kai refused.
"I have asked people to pay attention to this case. As soon as there is news, we will notify you immediately."
Kai nodded and expressed his thanks again, then walked to Susie and patted her shoulder gently. "Let's go back to the hotel first."
Susie looked at Kai with red eyes and nodded gently.
Although Susie thinks her mother is an irresponsible bastard, no matter what, she is still her mother. Furthermore, no matter how irresponsible her mother is, she has never thought of abandoning Susie as a daughter.
Even in terms of material life, her mother has always given Susie the best.
In the past, Susie always hated her mother. She hated that she always abandoned her and wandered among various men. She hated that she always attended endless parties and social events, but had no time to attend her parent-teacher conferences and meetings.
School performance. I hate that she is always missing and is never by my side when I need her.
She always wanted to get rid of her mother and vowed that she would never become like her in the future.
Maybe what Susie thinks is right, but what child hasn't thought like this at some point? Children will always think that what they get is not enough, and their parents will never understand them.
They may even try their best to get rid of their parents.
But at some point, you will realize that you are not as strong as you thought.
For example, Susie now, she swore more than once that she would treat her irresponsible mother as dead. But when she knew that her mother was really missing, she immediately felt helpless. The older the child grows, the more dependent he is on his parents.
The younger they are, and even when they grow up, they will still feel that their parents are nagging them, and they will feel impatient even if they even say a few words to them. But that is because they know in their hearts that they are there. No matter how bad their attitude is, they will
Be tolerant because they are there.
No matter what happens to me outside, I always feel at ease in my heart because they are there.
But when your parents really pass away, you will find how happy it is that "they are there".
"She'll be fine. Right?"
This is Susie's biggest wish. Maybe after her mother comes back, she will continue to hate her irresponsible mother, but right now, she needs that person to be there, giving her someone to hate!
"She'll be fine..."
As a policeman, Kai has faced such inquiries countless times before. But in the past, based on his duties as a police officer, Kai would always tell the family members the worst case scenario. For this, he was often criticized by his leaders. But Kai always believed that,
This is what the police should do. The police's duty is to protect people's lives and property at all costs. As for other things, it is best to seek truth from facts.
This time, Kai couldn't do things according to his previous habits.
Seeing Susie standing there pitifully, Kai couldn't bear to say those cruel guesses.
Now Kai understood that when those family members asked this question, they were not actually trying to get his assurance, they just wanted to be comforted in their hesitation. Thinking about it now, Kai felt that he was really a jerk before.
But one thing is that it has been five days since Susie's mother disappeared. Based on this time, unless Susie's mother left Chicago on her own, the chance of her being intact is very, very small.
According to Kai's experience in handling cases in his previous life, whether Susie's mother was coerced and kidnapped or encountered some other irresistible situation, now, whether it was the kidnapper or someone else, there seemed to be no need to keep her.
Of course, this is just Kai's personal experience. Other situations may also happen, but the chance of being victimized is higher.
…
As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK who can do things easily.
After Kai visited Chief Hank, the efficiency of the police immediately improved several levels. The Chicago Police Department sent a pair of detectives to deal with this disappearance case.
I don't know if it was to facilitate communication, but the partner sent by the Chicago Police Department this time was an acquaintance of Kai.
Officer Kim Burgess and Detective Haley Upton are two famous beautiful police officers from the 21st Department of Chicago.
Jin used to be a patrol officer in the 21st Bureau. After the clone Solomon raided the 21st Bureau, she was promoted to the Intelligence Group by Hank because of her bravery in combat and became a police officer in the Intelligence Group. Perhaps it was because the losses in the 21st Bureau this time were too great, so even Jin did this
Young people in their early 20s all stepped forward and were promoted from patrol officers to detectives. Hailey was also promoted one level and officially became a detective.
In fact, since the gang war for supremacy, the Chicago police have been in a state of shortage of manpower. More and more police officers have resigned because of the dangerous work. After all, the salary of the police is not high, and the risk factor has increased. Those who leave will naturally
increase.
Therefore, in order to attract young people to supplement the police force, the Chicago police had to lower the admission standards and vigorously promote young people to encourage young people to join this industry.
This is indeed effective. Many young people have joined the police industry in order to find a job. After all, the unemployment rate in Chicago is still very high. It is really difficult for young people to find a decent job. But the disadvantages are also obvious.
, those young people who have just joined the police are extremely lacking in both psychology and ability, which has reduced the overall ability of the Chicago police. This has also led to the deterioration of Chicago's public security.
When public security is poor, the job of the police becomes more dangerous, so more people leave their jobs. As a result, the police force is short of manpower and can only recruit new people. Too many new people lead to a decrease in the police's work ability, so the public security becomes worse, and it becomes a police force.
Vicious cycle.
Fortunately, Kim and Hailey's work ability is worthy of recognition, and they can be regarded as future stars.
The two beauties were also very happy to see Kai again. They had seen Kai's fighting power with their own eyes and admired him so much. So this time they heard that Kai was coming to Chicago to handle the case, the two beauties immediately
Ask Hank to apply to assist in this case.
Yes, co-organizer. Hank has told Kai that he can investigate this case personally, while the two beauties will help him and deal with unnecessary troubles, such as showing IDs and so on.
Don't say that Kai has no law enforcement authority in Chicago. In fact, if Kai is willing, Hank can even go directly to the mayor of Chicago and give Kai special authorization (the Chicago Police Department is under the direct jurisdiction of the mayor, and the mayor sometimes also serves as the mayor in Chicago.
Chief Superintendent).
There is no way, the Chicago police are short of people! But what they are short of is not the grassroots police officers, but tough men with excellent professional abilities like Kai.
Kai has been registered with the upper management of the Chicago Police Department. To these police officers, Kai's existence is like James in the NBA. Chicago really wants Kai to bring his talents to Chicago. Besides, Kai's original favor to the Chicago police was too great.
When it got worse, others volunteered to help Chicago, and in the end all the credit went to the Chicago police.
Based on this alone, the Chicago police will give Kay face.
After chatting with the two beauties for a while, Kai got down to business.
"We used the phone number of the missing person you provided and found out that Maria received three phone calls before she disappeared. This is the source of the three phone calls." This is the advantage of having connections. If it doesn't matter, the Chicago Police Department will not use them.
The resource directly checks the call records from the telecom operators. Americans are very particular about privacy. Generally speaking, telecom operators will not disclose the call records of customers at will, unless the police strongly requests it, or it involves a murder case.
Maria is the name of Susie's mother. Maria is still missing. Unless the police has a strong will, telecom operators will not disclose user privacy.
Kai took the information from Jin's hand and flipped through it. It was all of Maria's call records in the past month. He found that one of the three phones had the most calls to Maria. Kai first pointed to this phone.
, asked: "Has the owner of this phone been found?"
"I found it. This is a virtual carrier number. The holder is a broker, and he is somewhat famous in Chicago's upper class."
"Very good, let's start with this person!"
…
With the full cooperation of the Chicago police, the work was done very efficiently, and soon the broker named Ed Brubacho was brought to the police station.
This guy says he is a broker, which is actually a bit flattering. He is at most a public helper. When rich people want to find beautiful girls to hold parties that are not suitable for children, they will come to him. Of course, he will also deal in some contraband.
.But compared with that kind of real broker, it is far behind. To put it bluntly, he is a pimp, which is a little higher than those street gangsters.
When Ed Brubacher was caught at the police station, he didn't panic at all. For a veteran like him, the police station was like home. He had been arrested for illegal possession of illegal drugs not once or twice.
When Kai saw him, the guy was sitting in the interrogation room with his legs crossed and picking his teeth with a toothpick.
Seeing this guy's look, Kai knew that ordinary interrogation methods were useless against him. So Kai tilted his head to Hailey and said, "Turn off the camera."
Jin was a little confused. This kid was still too young and had a strong sense of justice. He was still in the stage of procedural justice and didn't know those methods at all. In fact, if everything really has to follow procedural justice, the police will never be able to fight criminals. Sometimes.
You must resort to means.
Hailey was an older police officer than Jin, so she understood what Kai was going to do. In fact, to deal with such an old man, you really have to use black. Because they are not afraid of white. It is indeed very expensive to hire a lawyer, but Ed Brumba
The science is still affordable.
Kai took Hailey into the interrogation room.
When the pimp saw Haili, his eyes immediately lit up. From his professional perspective, this girl would definitely survive, especially her cold face. Many special lovers like this kind of iceberg beauties. But he didn't wait.
After speaking, Kai threw a document to him.
"Let's stop talking nonsense. I just want to ask, why did you call Maria?"
Ed Brubacher was not surprised by Kai's directness. He knew what kind of bird he was, and it was surprising that the police could be polite to him.
"Maria? What Maria? I don't know this person."
"Don't you know? I don't know you make dozens of phone calls to people in a week?"
"Can't we just chat? Phone sex, have you heard of it? I posted my phone number all over Chicago, and many girls like to call me." How could people like them be honest to the police? Of course he knew Mary
Who is Ya, but if he tells about his dealings with Maria, then he will not be able to hide his dirty deeds of organizing inappropriate parties for children and selling illegal drugs. Although he is no stranger to prison, he
Who the hell wants to just go back to their hometown?
Kai shook his head and said nothing more. He took out a gun and threw it on the table.
"You know how to play?" Kai said to Hailey.
"I've heard of it, but I've never done it," Hailey said cooperatively.
"What about you?" Kai turned to look at Ed Brubacher.
Ed Brubacher felt a little panicked when he saw this male policeman playing such a big role over a disagreement. He had been on the street for a long time, so he naturally knew what it meant to "grab a gun and attack a police officer in the interrogation room and then be shot dead." This routine
It was very popular in the 1980s and 1990s, and the police at that time liked to play this way. Anyway, even if they killed the suspect, they would only make a report and then be kept in cold storage for a few months. As long as no conclusive evidence could be found, basically
No shit.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But now is the new century, and the police are still so blatant?
"Hey, hey, don't scare me. I was brought here to cooperate with the investigation, not to be arrested! You have no reason to do this!" Otherwise, those who break the law know the law better than those who abide by the law. This guy is obviously in and out of the police
I've been to the police station too many times and I know how to deal with the police.
"Oh, I almost forgot about this." Kai pretended to be surprised and said, "Thanks for reminding me."
After saying that, Kai threw out a small bag of white powder.
"It was just found on you. Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the medical examiner. He will state in your autopsy report that you had taken drugs before being questioned."
Looking at the white powder and listening to Kai talking about his autopsy report... Ed Brubacher was really a little panicked. The more people like them, the more aware they are of the cruelty of this world. Don't say that the police framed and violated the law.
For people like them, if the police really want to frame him, they can basically get it right. As for his criminal record, as long as it is presented, whether it is the public or the jury, whether they believe him or the police, is there any need to guess?
"I said! I said it's not okay yet?" Ed Brubacher was actually not sure that this policeman was really that ruthless. But what if? His little trouble would last only a few months to a year at most.
, spend some money to find a better lawyer, maybe you won’t even have to go to jail. Since the police are pressing so hard, why should he resist?
Then things become simple.
Kai gestured to Jin across the interrogation room and asked her to turn on the monitor.
Ed Brubacher said all that needed to be said.
He does know Maria. He is one of Maria's partners. Maria is a person who knows how to do things, and the girls under her are also beautiful. For Ed Brubacho, this is also a rare resource.
.So in recent days, he and Maria have communicated very frequently. Maria will come to Chicago to develop, and he is one of the reasons.
Before Maria disappeared, he did have a conversation with Maria, and the content of the conversation was nothing more than that.
"I introduced him to a client that day. I really didn't do anything else." Ed Brubacher knew about Maria's disappearance, but their separation in life and death was so common.
Who knows if Maria ran away to avoid the debt, or if she took too many drugs and died directly. So he didn't take it seriously at all.
"What kind of customer?"
"have no idea."
Kai looked over immediately.
"I really don't know! Someone called me that day and wanted a coquettish, mature woman, and the price was quite high. So I introduced Maria to him."
"You don't know? Didn't you send Maria to the client that day?" Although Maria no longer works on the front line, she sometimes makes guest appearances. Anyway, it's all about making money, both for herself and for the girls under her.
not much differences.
"I really don't know. I just sent Maria to the Clarion Hotel and left." In their line of work, there is a commission for introducing business. Generally speaking, they will keep an eye on the girl while they work, but Maria didn't.
Likewise, she has a good reputation. She will not waste this small amount of money, not to mention they have so many cooperations. Ed Brubacher does not believe that Maria will waste his share, so he sends Maria somewhere
After that, he left.
"I really don't know where Maria went after that. It was only later that I found out that Maria was missing."
When Ed Brubacher was giving his confession, Kai kept monitoring his expression, small movements and heartbeat. He found that he was not lying. Super perception is very useful in many cases. If Ed Brubacher was like this, he would
If he can hide it from Kai, then he can definitely win an Oscar, so why bother doing this?
"Then do you know these two numbers?" Kai said and took out the other two phone numbers.
Ed Brubacher explained everything, so there was no need to hide this matter.
"do not know."
Kai nodded, then stood up and walked out. "Let's go to the Horn Hotel!"
"Eh? What about me? What should I do?"
Ed Brubacher was a little confused when he saw the police just walking away.
"Jin, arrange for someone to prosecute this idiot. He has just confessed his crimes." Prison education for this kind of person is of no use, but locking him up is better than leaving him outside.
…
The Clarion Hotel is located near Chicago's South Chinatown area. The security here is much better than that of Chicago's South City (generally referring to the area south of 60th Street), but it is much worse than that of the city center. It is often visited at night.
There will be robberies.
Some less formal hotels will settle here.
When Kai and the others found the hotel, they found that it was closed. Jin and Haili learned about the situation and found out that the hotel had recently been renovated, so it had stopped operating. So based on the information of the local police station, they called
I called the owner of the Bugle Hotel, but the call was always on.
I made more than a dozen phone calls like this, but still the same thing.
So Kai followed the information given by the police station and went to the boss's residence.
But when they found the boss's residence, they found that his door was stuffed with various bills and letters. It seemed that no one had taken these things for a while. When Kai walked to the door, he immediately asked Jin to notify the police station, and then he
Breaking the door with Haley.
Just now Kai asked, there was a smell of blood and rot, there were corpses inside!
Not long after breaking in, Hailey rushed out, holding on to the mailbox and vomiting crazily.
There are indeed dead people inside, and the conditions of death are extremely miserable.
The hotel owner died at his dining table. His body was highly decomposed. His hands and feet were tied to the chair with wires, and his upper body fell on the dining table. The dining table was filled with rotten food. The boss was a fat man, but he
His belly was obviously a bit too big, and was very inconsistent with his body shape. Combined with the piles of food on the table, it was obvious that he had eaten a lot before his death.
The deep and shallow wounds and bruises on the fat man's body and the round marks on his head. Kai took out his gun and compared it with the round bruises on the back of his head. He found that they were consistent. This showed that someone was obviously
Use a gun to force him to eat like this!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Soon the local police station came over immediately, cordoned off the scene, and conducted an on-site inspection.
After preliminary investigation, the cause of death of the fat boss was visceral failure caused by severe infection after internal bleeding.
This shows that the victim died very slowly...
A very cruel way to die.
But this was not good news for the case Kai wanted to investigate. Kai walked around the room again and found traces of being moved under the refrigerator. The fat man obviously didn't like cleaning the house very much, and there were obvious stains around the refrigerator.
Dust accumulated and traces of dust showed that the refrigerator had been moved and then moved back to its original location.
Kai moved the refrigerator and found that someone had written the word "Gluttony" on the back of the refrigerator in grease!
Although I don’t understand why the murderer left such clues, it confirms Kai’s previous guess that the fat boss was strangled to death!
In English, Gluttony specifically refers to gluttony among the seven deadly sins, which refers to wasting food like gluttons or overindulging appetite, drinking alcohol, and excessive pursuit of pleasure. Kai didn't know what the murderer meant, but it was obviously not like an ordinary murder.
It can be inferred from the traces at the scene that the murderer stayed here for a long time. If it was just a simple murder, the murderer could have used more concise and clear methods. After all, staying at the crime scene for one more second would be very risky for the murderer himself.
It would also be a bit bigger. But he chose this most troublesome method.
You must know that if a person wants to eat until he is exhausted, it cannot be done in a few minutes. If the victim's resistance and some stress reactions are included, it will take at least several hours, or even longer.
This made Kai feel that the murderer's motive was definitely not a vendetta, a murder for love, or a murder for money. He had a deeper reason.
