Chapter 556 Identity

This sudden reporting letter made the case more complicated, and Luke had more things to consider.

He pondered for a long time and asked, "How did the letter get to your TV station?"

"It was delivered through the Parcel express company. We went to the express company to investigate. According to the courier, it was indeed sent by Rohel Horn himself, and there was also a photo of his ID.

The delivery time is the morning of July 10th. The delivery location is in Talip Community. The express arrival time is the morning of July 13th. "

Luke's first impression was that the express delivery was too slow.

But I thought the other party sent it was Parcel Express, and I thought it was within a reasonable range.

This express delivery company is indeed relatively slow and is suitable for items that are not urgent or heavy goods. They charge according to weight and distance.

Luke now faces many problems. First, he must confirm whether this letter was mailed and written by Rohel Horne himself, and secondly, whether the content of the letter is true.

If the contents of the letter are true, and that Kalman Pharmaceuticals was conducting illegal human experiments, and after the experiments failed, in order to avoid being exposed, they killed people and set fire to the materials, then it is likely that Kalman was involved in these three cases. Pharmaceutical companies direct and act themselves.

If the content of the letter is false, then after the content of the letter is published by the media, it will definitely have a very bad impact on Kalman Pharmaceuticals. The research and development of new drugs may also be stopped. Even if it can be put on the market, people may resist.

Whoever can benefit at this time may be the mastermind behind it.

Luke asked, "Where is that reporting letter now?"

"In the hands of the new head of our news department."

"When is he going to break the news?"

"It could be any time."

"I understand. After your TV station releases the news, I will send someone to your news department to investigate the report letter."

Nami Inoue secretly told Luke about this matter. If Luke sends someone to CBS TV station to investigate the report now, Nami Inoue may be exposed and affect their future cooperation.

It can be heard from Inoue Nami that there should be many people who know the contents of this report letter, and they are all reporters from the TV station. Even if Luke goes to the TV station at this time, he cannot stop them from broadcasting the contents of the letter.

"Thank you." Nami Inoue knew that Luke was protecting her in disguise, and immediately asked, "Captain Li, do you think what is said in the letter is true?"

"Based on my understanding of this case, it is unlikely that it is true. At least part of it is false." Luke could not conclude whether there was a problem with Kalman Pharmaceuticals, but the police were definitely not bribed by Kalman Pharmaceuticals. He also Will never admit this.

As for charitable donations, they are all reasonable and legal.

Nami Inoue looked expectant, "Captain Li, can you tell me some of the circumstances of the case?"

Luke thought for a while and did not refuse. Information sharing was mutual. Inoue Nami was not Lei Feng, so she could not always provide him with information unilaterally.

Later, Luke told Inoue Nami some clues that would not involve the core of the case and could be investigated after spending some time, such as the identity information of the deceased Rohel Horn, his family situation, as well as gambling, loan sharking, etc.

In addition, Luke also asked Nami Inoue to help investigate which forces would be most beneficial if Kalman Pharmaceutical Company's new drug development failed and the company's reputation was ruined.

The reporter also has his own investigation channels, which may provide Luke with some valuable clues.

"Jingle Bell……"

At two o'clock in the morning, Luke was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone.

"Fuck!"

Luke muttered, touched the phone on the pillow, and pressed the answer button, "Hi, I'm Luke."

"Captain Li, I am Cam Smith, the drug testing supervisor at Kalman Pharmaceuticals."

Hearing this name, Luke was a little surprised and asked, "Director Smith, do you have a problem with me so late?"

"I...my girlfriend is missing."

"disappeared?"

"Yes."

"when?"

“I called her this afternoon, but I haven’t been able to contact her, and I didn’t find her when I got home at night.

I feel... something might have happened to her. "

"Did you call the police?"

"No, I trust you more than an ordinary patrol officer.

I hope you can help me find her. "

Luke asked, "What's your girlfriend's name?"

"Elvira Gandhi."

"Send me your home address and I will rush there as soon as possible."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Luke hung up the phone. The news was a bit sudden, but it was also likely to be a breakthrough in the case.

After talking to Lydia Cooney yesterday afternoon, Luke had become suspicious of Cam Smith, who had lied implicitly about the circumstances of the night of the arson.

Luke thought about talking to him, but the problem was that Luke didn't know what to talk about?

Although Cam Smith did not tell the truth about the arson case, the problem is that he had nothing to do with the arson case, nor was he found to be related to the murder of Rohel Horne. Without evidence, even if Luke found He wouldn't tell the truth if he asked.

So, Luke just lets Little Dark investigate him.

Luke also has some speculations about the missing Elvira Gandhi mentioned by Cam Smith.

According to Lydia Cooney's description, the reason why she broke up with Cam Smith was because Cam Smith had an affair with a woman named Avella. The missing Avella Gandhi was probably the one who originally the third party.

This case is getting more and more interesting.

After Luke straightened out his thoughts, he contacted Xiao Hei, Jackson, and Porter and asked them to meet near Cam Smith's house.

Forty minutes later.

Candace Community.

The four of Luke met near Cam Smith's house. Luke did not go directly to Cam Smith's house, but first talked to Xiao Hei.

Luke asked, "What clues have you found about Cam Smith?"

"Kym Smith has been staying at the company this afternoon and returned home at six o'clock in the afternoon. Porter and I watched for two hours and found nothing unusual, and then we went home."

"Have you met Cam Smith's girlfriend?"

"No, but I found some information about Cam Smith's girlfriend. Her name is Avella Gandhi. She is an international student from India. She is quite beautiful and has a good figure. No wonder Cam Smith is Break up for her." Xiao Hei handed a piece of information to Luke.

Luke looked at Avila Gandhi's information and photos. Avila Gandhi has black hair, straight facial features, wheat complexion, and is very beautiful. At first glance, she belongs to a high caste.

Luke handed the information to Xiao Hei, "Let's go in."

The four of them walked to the door of Cam Smith's house, and Jackson pressed the doorbell.

Soon, the door opened.

Cam Smith stood at the door with an anxious look on his face, "Captain Li, I've been waiting for you, come in quickly."

Luke entered the living room and observed the environment in the house. He did not smell blood or disinfectant.

Cam Smith invited everyone to sit on the sofa, "Captain Li, I'm sorry for calling you here so late.

But I could never find my girlfriend Elvira Gandhi. I was worried that something would happen to her, so I called the police. "

Luke pressed, "What do you think happened to Elvira Gandhi?"

“I don’t know, but I haven’t been able to contact her and she’s never been like this before.

I am very worried about her safety, please help me find her. "

Luke reassured, "Don't be impatient and answer me a few questions."

"OK."

"When was the last time you saw each other?"

"Yesterday morning, when I went to work, she sent me to the door. She was fine at the time, but I couldn't contact her when I called her in the afternoon.

When I returned home, I found that she was not at home. I contacted everyone she knew and no one knew where she was.

I guess she might have had an accident, so she called you. "

Luke said, “There are many kinds of accidents, but usually in situations like the one you mentioned, Elvira Gandhi was probably kidnapped.

Did you receive a call from the robber? "

"No."

"Does she have any other relatives in Los Angeles?"

"No."

"What plans does she have for yesterday?"

"She was resting at home yesterday and said she would make mutton curry rice for me tonight."

"In other words, she probably suffered an accident at home."

"I think so."

"Are there any signs of outsiders entering your home? Are the door locks broken? Or are there blood stains or something like that?"

"I...didn't find it."

Luke said to Xiao Hei on the side, "Take someone to search the room." After Luke finished speaking, he looked at Cam Smith on the side and said, "No problem."

Cam Smith hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

Luke continued to ask, "Have any valuable belongings been lost in your home?"

"No."

"Usually, kidnappers are looking for money, but since you have neither received a blackmail call nor lost any valuables, this should not be the case." Luke changed the subject, "What does Avira Gandhi do? work?"

"She's still a student."

"Has she offended anyone recently?"

"Not that I know of."

"And you?"

Cam Smith shook his head, "Me neither."

Luke kept staring at the other person, seeing traces of lying on his face.

Luke changed the subject and said, "I went to Lydia Cooney's house to talk to her today."

Cam Smith was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know why Luke mentioned Lydia Cooney, "How is she?"

"She admitted her involvement in the arson."

Cam Smith sighed and wondered, "Although I saw her that night, I still can't figure out why she did this?"

"Her daughter was kidnapped and her daughter's life was threatened."

"It's so terrible. He actually kidnapped a little girl to achieve his own goals. Who would do such a despicable thing?"

Luke shook his head, "We're angry too."

"Can you rescue Lydia Cooney's daughter?"

Luke's expression darkened, "She was kidnapped on July 10th. Three days have passed and the best opportunity for rescue has been missed. The situation is not very optimistic..."

"What about my girlfriend? She just disappeared yesterday afternoon. It shouldn't be too late for me to call the police."

"The 24 hours after being kidnapped is the prime time for rescue. There is still a chance, but we have to understand the entire case and the reason why she was kidnapped.

If you conceal the real reason for her kidnapping, leading to deviations in the direction of our investigation, we may miss the best opportunity for rescue..."

"Oh my god, why is this happening?" Cam Smith grabbed his forehead hard.

"Do you have any suspicions about the kidnapping of Elvira Gandhi?"

Cam Smith glanced at Luke and said nothing.

Luke stared at the other person and continued, "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I know that you lied when you described the arson case.

After Lydia Cooney and another suspect set the fire, they escaped from the east door of the building, not the west door of the building. "

Cam Smith defended, "Sorry, the fire that night scared me. I may have remembered it wrong."

"No, your memory is not wrong. You did see Lydia Cooney and another suspect near the west door of the building. However, they did not leave the building at that time. They had just entered the building after the power was cut off in the distribution room. Arson, you could have stopped them from setting the fire, but you didn't.

Why? "

"I...I didn't know they were going to set fire to it at the time. I...I regret it too."

"Even if you didn't know that they were going to set a fire, you still knew that they couldn't be doing good things by sneaking into the building at night. Why didn't you call the police or notify the security immediately?"

Cam Smith shook his head and remained silent.

Luke continued, “Actually, we’ve been investigating you.

The reason why you appeared on the west side of the building that night was not a coincidence, but you were also going to the power distribution room to cut off the power, and you happened to see Lydia Cooney near the power distribution room.

The reason why you didn't stop Lydia Cooney or call the police that night was because you felt guilty and you wanted to sneak into the office building.

Am I right? "

Sweat rolled down Cam Smith's cheeks.

Luke struck while the railroad was hot, "Since we have suspected you, it is only a matter of time before we find out your problem, but what Elvira Gandhi lacks most now is time.

If you continue to hide it, you may miss the best time for rescue.

When we find out the real reason, you will still have to bear the corresponding responsibility, and Elvira Gandhi..."

“Stop talking, I’m telling you.

I have done some wrong things..." Cam Smith took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and continued, "You are right, I did want to sneak into the building that night.

I wanted to copy some data, but Lydia Cooney and the suspect entered the building first, interrupting my plan. "

"What data do you want to copy?"

“Development Data for Novel Antihypertensive Drugs.”

"Why do you do this?"

"I'm going to sell this data on the black market to make money."

Luke shook his head, "You're still lying."

"I don't."

"You have.

You may not have succeeded on July 11, but there were also two power outages in May and June, probably because of you.

You should have succeeded those two times.

Where is the copied data? "

"I told you, I sold it on the black market."

"No, you are still lying.

If you don't tell the truth, I can't help you. "Luke stared at the other party and said coldly, "The reason why you broke up with Lydia Cooney before was probably not because of Lydia Cooney's daughter. At that time, you should have been close to Avella Gandhi. On.

Not long after you met Avila Gandhi, you moved into the company dormitory and entered the office building to steal research and development data for new antihypertensive drugs.

If I guessed correctly, you should have given the stolen research and development data to Avella Gandhi.

This is the real reason why she was kidnapped.

Am I right? "

Cam Smith's eyes flickered and he looked a little flustered.

Luke continued to ask, "If you want to save Elvira Gandhi, tell me who she is?"

Under Luke's forceful questioning, Cam Smith was out of breath and took a big breath, "She...

It was Sun Pharmaceutical Company that sponsored her to study abroad in Los Angeles. "
