Chapter 397 Traces(1/2)

 Luke also noticed something unusual, stood up and looked at the door.

Porter put his right hand on the gun, ready to draw it at any time.

The two patrolmen at the door did not come in immediately, and they were a little embarrassed. If the person in the living room pretended to be a police officer, it would be a big deal, and they might shoot someone in a hurry.

The safest way at this time is to stand ready, enter the house with guns in both hands, disarm the two people first, search them, and verify their identities while ensuring safety.

But it is difficult to operate in practice. Let’s not say whether the other party will cooperate. Even if you cooperate with such an operation, you will offend the other party.

If the two people in the living room were really from the Robbery and Murder Department, they would definitely be of a higher rank than them, and they might even complain to their boss.

Dolly White also saw the suspicion of the two police officers, "Sir, is there any problem?"

"No." The leading white police officer took a deep breath, made a gesture with his companion behind him, and the two entered the house with their right hands on their guns.

Seeing the police officers coming in, Luke raised his eyebrows and said, "Which branch are you from? The Southern Branch?"

"Yes." The white police officer looked at the two Lukes, "Sir, what do you do?"

Porter also guessed that there might be a misunderstanding, "My name is Porter, and I used to work in the Southern Bureau.

Now transferred to the 1st Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division of the Police Detective Bureau, this is our Captain Li.

You should have heard his name."

The black patrolman behind pushed the white patrolman and said, "Hey, it's Luke Lee. The one who solved the case of the headless female corpse also won the Public Safety Officer Medal.

I've seen him on TV, no doubt about it."

The white police officer looked familiar to Porter, and moved his right hand away from the gun, "Sorry, sir, we received a call and came to check on the situation."

Luke glanced at Dolly White behind him and asked, "What is the content of the alarm?"

"The homeowner suspects your identity as police detectives and wants us to help identify them."

"Then just follow the procedure.

Potter, show them the ID."

Porter took out his police badge and ID and handed them to the white police officer, "We are investigating the murder of James Jauregui."

The white police officer took the ID for verification and then handed it back, "Sorry, sir, no offense intended, this was a misunderstanding.

If there is nothing else, we won’t bother you with your investigation.”

"very good."

The two police officers apologized again, then left the living room and whispered to Dolly White who was seeing him off, "They are real police detectives. There is no need to doubt them. Please cooperate with the investigation."

"Thank you, I understand." Dolly White sent the two police officers outside the door, returned to the living room with some embarrassment, and said to Luke and the two,

"Sorry, two people from the Robbery and Murder Department came here this morning. I told them their names, but you didn't recognize them. I feel something is wrong...

Moreover, Captain Li is too young.

Sorry, I was just paranoid, I shouldn’t have doubted you.”

"No, you did the right thing." Luke didn't take it to heart. He motioned for the other party to sit down and continued to ask, "The name of the detective from the Robbery and Murder Division you mentioned is Jada Landis?"

"Yes, he came to my house and said he was investigating an oil painting robbery and asked about some details of the robbery."

"They came in two?"

"Yes."

"Describe their characteristics."

"A man and a woman. The man calls himself Detective Jada Landis. He is a white man, more than 1.8 meters tall. He wears a pair of glasses and has a mustache.

The woman’s name was not mentioned, she is a black man, has a ponytail, is about 1.7 meters tall, and has a great figure.”

"What time did they arrive? How long did they stay?"

"I should have arrived around ten in the morning, stayed for less than half an hour, and left around ten-thirty."

"They claim to be detectives from the Robbery and Murder Division?"

"yes, I'm sure."

Luke stood up and dialed Red's cell phone.

There are four squadrons in the Robbery and Murder Division. Although Luke knows most of them, he has no impression of these two 'colleagues' described by Dolly White. Of course, they may have just been transferred to the Robbery and Murder Division, so they

Luke called Red to check.

Rhett is the boss of the Robbery and Murder Division. If there are personnel changes at the detective level, there is no way he would not know about it.

Luke explained the situation of these two people, and Red told him with certainty that there was no detective named Jada Landis in the entire Robbery and Murder Division.

Counterfeit goods.

Someone is posing as a detective from the Robbery-Murder Division investigating the Getty Museum painting robbery.

Whether it's for investigating a case or for the Robbery and Murder Department, Luke can't ignore it.

Luke hung up the phone and said, "I have confirmed that there is no detective named Jada Landis in the Robbery and Murder Division.

You were deceived, they are the fake police detectives."

Dolly White spread his hands, "Why do they do this? What do they want from me?"

"Then it depends on what they asked. Re-describe the questions they asked and the content of your conversation, and you may be able to guess their purpose."

Dolly White recalled for a moment, "They asked the names of the other two escort members, and also asked about the ten oil paintings, such as whose paintings were they? Are they depicting characters or scenery?"

Dolly White shook his head, "We are transporting wrapped oil paintings. In order to avoid being bumped, at least five layers of protection are required. Not to mention the painting, even the frame cannot be seen.

Afterwards, they asked me to describe the transportation route and how the painting was robbed."

Luke said, "Re-describe the clues you told them."

"OK." Dolly White was also worried that the two fake police detectives would be detrimental to him, so he cooperated and described in detail how the oil painting was stolen.

Luke listened very carefully. As a party to the case, Dolly White's description was much more detailed than that described by Detective Dave Galli. Luke recorded many details of the robbery of the oil painting in his notebook.

For example, the four robbers all wore the same human skin nun mask, all four wore gloves, and the robber who gave the orders was a man.

The robber was driving a black Ford commercial vehicle when he fled. The license plate was obscured by black objects. The robber's car turned along Fore Street and turned into Lanka Street on the right.

Dolly White's description gave Luke a fuller understanding of the crime scene.

At the same time, we can also feel from Dolly White's description that this group of robbers was indeed very professional, bold and careful, leaving almost no valuable clues.

After leaving Dolly White's house, Luke did not return to the police station. Instead, he rushed to the scene of the crime on Fore Street to check it out on the spot. Hearing is not as impressive as seeing it. No matter how good others say it, it is not as impressive as seeing it in person.

Luke rushed to Fore Street. It was completely dark and there were obviously fewer people on the street. Luke looked around the scene according to Dolly White's description because the cordon had been removed and wanted to find new people near the crime scene.

Clues are difficult to find, and even if they are found, they may have been destroyed and difficult to use as evidence in the case.

Luke turned along Fore Street and turned into the street on the right. According to Dolly White's description, the robber should have escaped from here in a Ford commercial vehicle.

He glanced around and saw a camera installed above the street. Judging from the angle, it probably captured the suspect vehicle.



The next morning.

Office of the 1st Squadron, Robbery and Murder Division.

Luke yawned and walked out of the captain's office with a cup of coffee in his hand. He was busy checking the crime scene of the oil painting robbery last night. It was already ten o'clock in the evening when he got home. Fortunately, he had gained something, and it was not in vain.

Be busy.

Luke walked over to the whiteboard and wrote Dolly White's name, and listed a tree diagram below him, which also included the suspicious person who went by the alias Detective Jada Landis.

The members of the first squadron gathered around in a tacit understanding and looked at the tree diagram on the whiteboard.

The deputy asked, "This is the unlucky guy who escorted the oil painting."

Porter smiled and said, "The unfortunate guy you are talking about is a standard strong man. He once served in the army and his biceps are bigger than mine."

"The same applies to men with big breasts and no brains. If you are really in danger, you have to rely on this." The deputy captain pointed to the head.

Luke interrupted the conversation between the two and described the painting robbery in detail, as well as the two suspicious people posing as police detectives.

Jenny asked, "Who are the two people who pretended to be detectives from the Robbery and Murder Department? Could they be the suspects in robbing the oil painting?"

Luke said, "Judging from the conversations between the two fake police detectives and Dolly White, these two people should not be suspects in robbing the oil painting. The content of their questions is consistent with the police's approach to the case.

I felt like they were heading for the robbed oil painting.

Unfortunately, except for the looks of the two fake police detectives, Dolly White could not provide any more valuable clues, and he did not see the car driven by the other party."

The deputy said, "We must find these two bastards, and we cannot let them do bad things in the name of the Robbery and Murder Department. Otherwise, we will have to take the blame in the end."

Potter deeply agreed with these words. Today he and Luke went to Dolly White's house and almost caused an accident.

The arrival of the two patrolmen today seems to be just a routine inspection, but it is more like a near miss, because both sides have guns, and it is easy for the guns to go off under high tension. Fortunately, both parties were relatively restrained, and Luke did not embarrass the two.

Patrolman.

Luke walked to the projector and played a video, "This is the surveillance video we found around the oil painting robbery scene."

After the words fell, a black Ford commercial vehicle appeared in the video. The license plate of the car was covered by a black object and the license plate could not be seen clearly. It was consistent with the description of the escort Dolly White.
