Los Angeles Detective

Palisades Community.

There were no major cases these days. Luke basically went home after get off work and enjoyed the comfort and comfort brought by the mansion.

When Luke got home, he took off his clothes and jumped into the backyard pool for a swim.

This is one of the best sports. The resistance of the water can reduce the damage to the human body. Of course, the premise is that the water in the swimming pool is clean enough.

After exercising, Luke took a shower and felt a little hungry. He ordered a takeaway, including fried chicken, French fries, shrimp balls, fried fish and other snacks.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Luke put the snacks on the coffee table, took a few bottles of cold beer, and sat in the living room to eat delicious food and watch TV. The large TV screen and high-end audio equipment made the viewing atmosphere even better.

Taking a bite of crispy fried chicken and a sip of cold beer is definitely the best combination to hit your taste buds.

At ten o'clock in the evening, just as Luke was about to finish his supper and prepare to take a shower and go to bed, there was an unusual noise outside.

"Buzzing..."

He put down the beer bottle and walked out into the yard, where a plane flew overhead.

The plane is not big, not a helicopter, not a passenger plane, a bit like...

Firefighting aircraft.

Luke looked towards the direction of the plane's flight and saw a faint flash of fire in the distance, illuminating half of the sky.

If you can see the fire from such a distance, it must be a big fire.

Luke returned to the living room, changed the news station, listened to the news, and put away the takeout.

His guess was good. There was a fire in Mogaro Forest Park, and the fire station, police, and ambulances had all rushed to the scene.

Luke packed up the takeout garbage, washed briefly and went to bed. He had to lie down if he couldn't sleep.

Since a large fire has occurred and there are likely to be casualties, the Detective Bureau is also likely to be involved in the investigation of such a major case.

Judging from Luke's experience, the most important thing to do now is to recharge your batteries.

Sure enough, around twelve o'clock, Luke's cell phone rang.

"Hi, I'm Luke."

"I'm Red.

A fire broke out in Mogaro Forest Park, did you know? "

"Yes, I saw it on the news."

"I was also at the scene, firefighters found the body in the park and now our Robbery and Murder Division is responsible for the investigation of the fire."

"Okay, I'll take people there immediately." Luke had already been mentally prepared, washed his face, informed the team members, and then rushed to the fire scene.

Mogaro Forest Park was still in flames, and there was a mess on both sides of the road with all kinds of vehicles parked. Luke's car couldn't get close at all.

After Luke got out of the car, he walked for a while before finding the police command center.

"Director."

Red nodded, pointed to a middle-aged man next to him and introduced, "This is the fire department chief, Mario Crouch."

Luke looked at the other person, "Hello, Director Crouch.

I'm Luke Lee, the Robbery Murder Slayer. "

Mario Crouch looked solemn and shook hands with Luke, "Red, let me go to the front and take a look."

"be safe."

Mario Crouch left in a hurry.

Luke asked, "Is this serious?"

"Yes, the fire is still spreading, firefighters have been injured, and Mario Crouch is under a lot of pressure."

"Haven't fire-fighting planes been deployed?"

“The fire location is located in the valley, which is relatively hidden and difficult to detect.

Someone discovered the fire around nine o'clock last night and called 911. When the fire department arrived, the fire had spread to all directions and burned over a large area, making it difficult to extinguish it in a short time. "

"Is it arson or an accident?"

"The main work in the early stage is to put out the fire and maintain order. The cause of the fire has not yet been investigated." Rhett looked at Luke and patted his shoulder. "Come on, I will take you to see the body."

At this time, there were many people watching around, and some police officers were needed to maintain order.

Luke walked a few dozen meters forward and saw a forensic doctor wearing protective clothing. Next to him was a burnt corpse, and he could still smell a faint, disgusting smell.

Luke asked forensic doctor Sheila, "Can you confirm the identity of the deceased?"

"No objects have been found that can prove the identity of the deceased." Sheila raised her head and glanced at the two of them, "I'm sorry, sirs, I have to concentrate on facing this body, and I can't answer your questions for the time being.

Of course, you can watch from the sidelines, as long as you don't say anything. "

Luke and Red looked at each other and wisely chose to leave.

The two chatted for a while. Luke saw that the people from the first squadron had arrived, so he said goodbye to Red and called the team members to talk.

"Hey guys, good morning."

"Morning?" The deputy team leader frowned and smiled bitterly, "Yes, it is indeed morning, but it's a bit too early, which is not good at all."

Xiao Hei yawned, "Captain, are we here to catch the arsonist?"

Luke sighed, "I'm afraid it's not just that, the firefighters found the body on the mountain."

Luke sighed, "I'm afraid it's not just that, the firefighters found the body on the mountain."

The deputy asked, "Did he kill him?"

Luke shook his head, "The body is already burnt. Anyway, I can't tell how it died? Let's wait for the forensic identification."

Xiao Hei rubbed his nose, "Oh my god, no wonder I always smell the aroma of barbecue."

Luke glanced at everyone and said, "Although the current situation is unclear, we cannot remain idle. We will conduct separate visits to investigate and collect as many clues related to the fire as possible."

"Yes, sir."

"Dude, wait a minute." Just as everyone was about to investigate separately, Potter stopped everyone, and moved out a box of canned coffee from the car beside him to distribute to everyone.

The deputy team opened the can and took a sip, "I've never liked canned coffee very much, but today I feel pretty good."

Xiao Hei asked curiously, "Why do you have so much coffee in your car?"

Porter explained, "I used to be a night detective in the Southern Precinct and used to keep some cans of coffee in the car."

"Good habit, thank you." Luke raised his glass to indicate that everyone would be a little tired when performing tasks in the middle of the night, and Potter was indeed in the best state of mind among the crowd.

Afterwards, everyone investigated separately, Porter and Xiao Hei went to the crowd to look for witnesses.

With the help of street lamps and firelight, Potter vaguely saw a familiar person in the crowd.

This is a middle-aged Caucasian man, of medium height, with a thin build. His eyes are looking in the direction of the fire, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and there is a weird smile on his face.

Potter frowned slightly, could it be him?

Potter pushed aside the crowd and walked quickly towards the man. The man also noticed Potter, turned his head and looked over, the smile on his face froze, then turned and ran away.

"Stop! lapd!"

Potter immediately ran after him.

Xiao Hei was a little confused and didn't know what happened, but out of trust in his colleagues, he also chased after him.

The white man crossed his legs, his running posture was a bit strange, and his speed was not fast.

It wasn't long before Porter grabbed the fleeing man, pinned him to the ground, handcuffed him, and read a Miranda warning.

"Hey, you hurt me!" The man struggled unwillingly.

Xiao Hei also ran over and said with a smile, "Fuck, how much Viagra you bastard have eaten."

The white man stared at Xiao Hei, "I'm not you, so I don't need that kind of thing."

Xiao Hei joked, "Potter, have you searched him yet?"

Potter showed a look of disgust, "I think it's better to wait."

Xiao Hei glanced around, but didn't see the scantily clad woman, "Hey, buddy, where's your girlfriend? Let me know."

The white man spat, "Go to hell, you nigger."

"If you don't have a girlfriend, then you're a male companion, haha." Xiao Hei laughed loudly, and then asked Potter, "How do you know there's something wrong with this guy?"

"I caught him before. This guy was imprisoned for arson last time. I didn't expect to get out so soon." Potter seemed to think of something, and asked, "You should still be on parole, right?" Potter looked The other party's expression became more and more certain, "Yes, who is your parole officer?"

"I don't want to mention that guy, just out for a walk."

"Walking?" Potter snorted. "Walking to the scene of the fire, do you think I'll believe it?"

The white man smiled, "Then what do you think I am doing here?"

Potter tentatively asked, "Did you start the fire in Mogaro Forest Park?"

The white man's face changed again and again, he swallowed, and his tone was a little excited, "That's right, I let it go."

Xiao Hei picked out his ears, as if he thought he heard it wrong, "What did you just say?"

"I set the fire in Mojaro Forest Park, I set it off!" The white man's voice was loud, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him.

Luke also came over, "Marcus, what happened?"

"Captain, we caught the arsonist!" Xiao Hei pointed at the white man, "This guy, to be exact, was caught by Potter."

Porter said, "Captain, this guy is an arsonist. I caught him before, and he should still be on parole."

Luke nodded and looked at the white man, "What's your name?"

The white man looked at Luke, "Wolod Russell."

"Why are you here?"

Volod Russell asked, "Who are you?"

"Captain of the Robbery and Murder Division, Luke Lee."

"I know you." Volod Russell smiled and asked without fear, "Are you investigating this case?"

Luke nodded, "Are you connected to this arson case?"

"Yes." Volod Russell looked at the raging fire in the distance, as if admiring his masterpiece, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I set the fire."

Luke stared at the other person's cheek, and did not see obvious signs of lying, and confirmed again, "You lit the fire in Mogaro Forest Park?"

"That's right, it's me." Volod Russell's tone became firmer.

Luke still didn't see any sign that the other party was lying, and said to Potter, "Dude, congratulations on your meritorious service!

If I had known I would not drink coffee, I could go back to sleep. "
