Chapter 629

Hijacking and Murder Division Squadron One office.

The vice squadron turned on the wall-mounted television, he was used to watching the morning news, however, after changing a few channels, they were all broadcasting the cruise ship hijacking case.

And the main character on the news was the captain, who he hadn’t seen in days.

The lieutenant sighed, ”How long is this boring old news going to be on a loop? Can’t those idiot reporters move their asses to investigate some new news?”

Blackie snickered, “Like a sixty-something year old with gray hair still sticking to the front line of investigating cases.”

“You’re right, I’ve dedicated my entire life to the Robbery and Murder Division, I’ve investigated more cases than you’ve ever eaten a steak, don’t I have the qualifications to do that?”

Blackie replied, “Yes, you do have the qualifications, however, they obviously prefer Luke, and, you have to admit, a cruise ship hijacking case sounds more exciting and pricks the nerves of those with money.”

The lieutenant said helplessly, “Well, I admit to being a little envious of Luke, the lucky guy.”

Jackson said, “Actually, I don’t feel that being famous is a good thing, after all, our job is to investigate cases, it’s not like we’re Hollywood stars.”

The lieutenant grunted, “Unless you want to be like me and just be a lieutenant for the rest of your life, put away your childish ideas.”

Jackson shrugged, “Actually, what I’m most interested in knowing is where is the Captain? Has he contacted you guys?”

Black replied, “From what I know of him, he should be resting in his big cozy villa.”

Jenny laughed, “Actually, I’d kinda like to try a cruise, and I wonder if cruise fares will go down after this hijacking?”

Jackson chimed in, “I’m also interested in cruise travel, when the captain comes back, we can ask him what it’s like to take a cruise vacation.”

With a “creak ……” the office door opened and Luke greeted the crowd with a smile, “Guys, it sounds like you’re talking about me.”

Black was a little surprised, “Captain, you’re here, I thought you were going to take some more time off.”

Luke did think that, but now that he was here, he still wanted to give his men the impression that he was a hard worker.

“Any tough cases lately?”

The lieutenant said, “We’ve just solved a murder case of a bad nature.

The place of the crime was just east of Newster Square, two masked men wearing black hoods shot and killed people during the daytime, resulting in one death and one injury, one of the injured was also a minor, and there were many citizens around to see it at the time, which had a very bad impact.

We arrived at the crime scene, through eyewitness descriptions, checking the surveillance, and a lot of analysis, speculated the murderer’s route and escape direction.

A black hood was found in a trash can in the direction of the murderer’s escape, and the suspect’s DNA was extracted.

After DNA identification and comparison, we found the identity of the murderer.

We caught the murderer in the interrogation room and gave an account in less than half an hour.

You came back late.”

Luke laughed, “Good job, I’m very relieved to have you in the 1st Squadron with the Vice Squadron sitting in on it.”

The lieutenant bristled, “I wish you weren’t relieved.”

Luke lazily ignored this complaining old man.

Luke then briefly described the case of the murder of the chairman of Coffey Corporation at the secretary’s house.

Blackie asked, “I know about this case, isn’t the Second Squadron investigating it?”

“In order to solve the case as soon as possible, the Coffey Group offered a reward of one million dollars and wanted me to participate in the investigation of the case.

That’s why Reed wants our 1st Squadron and 2nd Squadron to jointly investigate.”

The vice squadron asked, “What if there are disagreements in the investigation?”

“The First Squadron will be the main focus.”

“Still listening to you.” The Vice Squadron looked aside at Jackson, “See, that’s the benefit of being famous.

Captain Kling of the Second Squadron isn’t likely to be hiding in his office crying already.”

Black’s eyes lit up and he was in high spirits, “Having a reward makes you more motivated, which is good for everyone, so why cry?

If they didn’t want to ask Luke to participate in the investigation of the case, Coffey Corporation may not offer this reward.”

Jackson pressed, “What’s this Coffey Company about?”

The lieutenant thought for a moment and frowned, “I’ve heard of the Coffey family decades ago, it’s a big local family with some influence in the political world.”

“What I’m more curious about is why the chairman of the Coffey Corporation died in the secretary’s house.” Xiao Hei stroked his chin and laughed, “If I’m not wrong, the time of the murder should be at night.”

Blackie heatedly smiled, showing a look that everyone understands.

“We’re discussing the case, be serious, even if it’s for the reward.” Luke admonished and continued, “The specifics of the case aren’t clear yet, I’ll butt heads with Chief Reed when he’s done talking to Captain Kling.”

Blackie took the initiative to propose, “Captain, I’ll go with you to Second Squadron.”

This case was originally being investigated by the Second Squadron, but now it was being taken over by Luke, even if Chen Kling could understand, the other people in the Second Squadron would have emotions, and Luke was worried that Xiao Hei wouldn’t be able to keep his mouth shut and talk nonsense, causing unnecessary trouble.

“Jackson come with me, the others wait for news.”

Half an hour later, Luke received a call from Chen Kelin, however, Chen Kelin didn’t ask him to go to the second squadron, instead, he brought the dossier to the first squadron to talk.

Luke invited him into the captain’s office and asked, “Captain Chen, what would you like to drink?”

Chen Kelin shrugged, “I’m not here to drink tea.”

“Whether you drink it or not, I definitely want to drink it.

If it wasn’t for the Chief’s call, I would have been leisurely enjoying afternoon tea in my own yard.” With these words, Luke was trying to actively surface the idea that he wasn’t robbing the case.

“I know, Chief Reed told me all about it.

You’re in the limelight now, and you don’t care about this credit.” Chen Kelin placed a pile of documents on the table, “Let’s talk about the case first.

There are two victims in this homicide case, Blanche Kerouk and Garion Coffey.

Both died between eight and twelve o’clock the night before last.

Yesterday morning, people from Coffey’s company called the police when they realized that Blanche Kerouac and Garian Coffey were not at work and they could not be reached.

Afterward, the police found the bodies of the two at the home of the deceased Blanche Kerouk through some investigation.”

Chen Klin took out the photos of the crime scene and introduced, “The body of the deceased Blanche Kerouac was beside the bed, shot three times, and the fatal wound was in the head.

Garion Coffey’s body was found in the bathroom, shot four times, with the fatal wound in the chest position.

It was determined that both victims were killed with the same handgun.”

Luke picked up the case photo from the table and looked through it; the victim, Blanche Koruk, was wearing a black lace nightgown and had large red bloodstains on her body.

Garian Coffey was collapsed in the bathroom, blood stained red, and it wasn’t hard to guess what relationship the two had.

“Did the killer leave any clues?”

“The tech team recovered some biological samples from the crime scene and are still in the process of identifying them.”

“What about witnesses?”

“We interviewed the surrounding neighbors and no one heard any gunshots that night, so I’m guessing the killer may have used a silencer.”

“Did the surveillance catch the killer on camera?”

“There was no surveillance at the home of the deceased, Blanche Koruk.

We checked neighborhood surveillance and so far no suspicious persons or vehicles have been identified.”

“What was the murderer’s M.O.?”

“There are signs of the deceased’s home being rummaged through, it could be a robbery and murder or a murder and then faking the scene, I personally prefer the second one.”

“How many murderers are there?”

“Based on the situation at the scene, it should be no more than two people.”

“What about the object of suspicion?”

Chen Kelin cocked his head, “Which one are you referring to?”

“Tell me.”

Chen Klin said, “Coffey Company has been in the midst of development and expansion over the years, involving multiple industry sectors and offending quite a few people.

Last month, Galian Coffey was also involved in a car accident, fortunately Galian Coffey was riding in a bulletproof car, nothing happened to himself, on the contrary, the driver who hit him was seriously injured and hospitalized.

According to my understanding, Galian Coffey offended a lot of people during his tenure as the chairman of Coffey, just based on the confidentiality of the company’s business, the company’s relevant personnel are not willing to talk more, we can only investigate on our own.

Among them, there are three people who are more suspicious.” Chen Kelin drew out a bunch of information and handed it to Luke, “These three people all have a certain amount of business interactions with Coffey Company, a conflict of interest to be exact, and have verbally threatened and intimidated each other.”

Luke took the information and viewed it.

“Ringing ……,” Chen Kelin’s cell phone rang.

He stepped aside to answer the call.

After hanging up the cell phone, he said to Luke, “The deceased Blanche Kerouac’s husband was on a business trip out of town before, and has just arrived at the police station to identify the body, so I’m going to talk to him.

Are you going or not?”

Luke asked, “Both victims were married?”

“Isn’t that what happens in the private lives of all these rich people?”

“Looks like you’re adding a suspect.” Luke stood up and walked out of the office with Chen Kling.

A few minutes later, the deceased Blanche Kerouac’s husband was invited into the conference room.

He was a white man in his thirties with an anxious look on his face and his suit looked a little wrinkled, “My name is Buddy Kerouac, I’m Blanche Kerouac’s husband.

You guys contacted me earlier about a robbery at my house, how is my wife? I haven’t been able to reach her.”

Chanclin and Luke looked at each other and sighed, “Mr. Buddy Kerouac, I’m sorry to say that your wife has been killed.”

“What! How could this be!” Buddy Kerouac intertwined his hands, stared wide-eyed, and asked in a trembling voice, “When did this happen? How did he die?”

“She was shot in your home the night before last.”

“Oh my God, this is horrible, I’ve only been gone a few days, why did this happen?

Where is my wife’s body? I want to see her.”

Luke turned to Jackson, who had stepped aside, “Take him to identify the body.”

“YES, Sir.”

After Buddy Kerouac left, Chen Kling took the initiative and asked, “Luke. The Director has already said that although it’s a joint investigation, the case is still dominated by you. What are your next arrangements?”

Luke thought for a moment and said, “Since Squadron 1 and Squadron 2 are joining forces to investigate the case, and we have enough manpower now, why don’t we split up the investigation, each investigating one of the deceased before summarizing the intelligence in a timely manner.”

Chen Kelin nodded, “We’ve been focusing our investigation on Galian Coffey before, and we’ve made some progress, so why don’t we just continue investigating Galian Coffey.”

“No problem, I’ll be in charge of investigating Blanche Kerouk, and contact him promptly when there are clues.”

“Understood.” Chen Kling nodded and walked out of the First Squadron office with a complicated mood.

Chen Kelin had long known that with Luke’s ability, sooner or later one day he would walk in front of himself ah, just didn’t expect that this day would come so fast ……
