LA Detective

Chapter 693 Suspect
St. Mary's Hospital, Ward 305.

This is a single room. A female patient is lying on the bed. Her eyes are a little dazed and tears are rolling down her eyes.

"Knock knock..." There was a knock on the door outside the ward.

"Creaky..." The door was pushed open from the outside, and Luke and Jackson walked into the ward.

The woman shuddered and looked towards the door with some fear, "Who are you?"

Jackson flashed his badge, “Ms. Rebecca Moser, you don’t have to be nervous.

I'm Detective Jackson Beach from the Robbery and Homicide Division, and this is our Captain Li.

We will now investigate your case."

Rebecca Moser slowly relaxed and asked in an expectant voice, "Did you find the suspect?"

Luke shook his head. “We just took over the case. We need to find out the circumstances of the case before we can find the suspect.”

Rebecca Moser wiped the tears from her face. "Why did this happen? I clearly installed an anti-theft system, and that person ran into my house...

They didn't react at all.

I'm going to sue their company, they're all scammers."

Luke did not explain why the suspect was able to bypass the anti-theft system and break into her home. This was not his responsibility, and it might also make Rebecca Moser think that Luke was in cahoots with the burglar alarm company, reducing her trust in Luke.

"Ms. Moser, when did the suspect break into your home?"

Rebecca Moser thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know the exact time. I was asleep at the time. It should have been early this morning."

“What time did the suspect leave?”

"I don't know either. It feels like a long, long, long time...

It’s the longest time I’ve ever been in my life.”

“How many suspects are there?”

"One."

"Male or female?"

"man."

"Can you describe his crime process?"

Rebecca Moser shook her head and choked up, "I don't want to recall it, I really don't want to..."

Jackson advised, “Ms. Moser, I understand how you feel, but you are the one who experienced the case, and your description is very important to solving the case.

Only if you provide enough clues about the suspect can we catch him as soon as possible."

Rebecca Moser was silent for a long time and slowly closed her eyes. “I was sleeping in bed and vaguely heard a sound outside the window. When I opened my eyes, I saw a person standing beside the bed.

I was so terrified that before I could make a sound, the man pounced on me, covered my mouth with one hand and put a gun to my head with the other.

He threatened me not to make a sound or he would shoot me."

Rebecca Moser said in tears, "I had just woken up and this happened suddenly. I was completely shocked.

I didn't dare resist and could only do as he asked.

He tied my hands and feet and...violated me..."

“Did he use a condom?”

Rebecca Moser looked pained and her voice trembled, "I don't feel anything."

"What else did he do after that?"

"He forced me to tell him the combination of the safe and stole the contents of the safe."

"What valuables do you have in your safe?"

"Tens of thousands of dollars in cash, a handgun, and some jewelry."

"Can you describe the suspect?"

"He was wearing a hood, so I couldn't see his face, but he should be a black man...

He also whispered in my ear, 'Madam, don't blame me, someone paid me to take revenge on you.

If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending someone. '"

Luke pressed, "What did he mean by that?"

"I do not know either."

"Have you offended anyone recently?"

"No, I'm not a troublemaker."

"Listen, if someone really wants to retaliate against you, then this person is likely someone you are familiar with or have had some interactions with. I need you to think carefully about whether anyone has threatened you or made you feel uneasy."

Rebecca Moser covered her cheeks with her hands, was silent for a long time and then said, “I remember.

I have a crazy fan who has been writing to me since about half a year ago. At first, it was relatively normal, but later on, the content of the letters became more and more explicit. "

Luke asked, "Like what?"

"He said in the letter that he thinks of me every night and wants to hug me to sleep, feel my body temperature, and touch every inch of my skin..." Rebecca Moser couldn't continue and said helplessly, "I think he is a pervert. It makes me feel a little scared."

"What's his name?"

"He calls himself Brett."

Luke made a note in his notebook and asked, "Have you seen him?"

"No."

"How did he send the letter to you?"

"Sometimes he would put envelopes in the mailbox at the gate, and sometimes he would throw letters into the yard. I can't remember how many letters he wrote. He was crazy and it scared me a little."

"Have you called the police?"

"No, I've never seen him, and he didn't cause me any direct harm. Many Hollywood stars have encountered similar things, so I didn't take it too seriously."

"When was the last time he wrote to you?"

Rebecca Moser thought about it and shook her head, “I don’t know either.

I asked the nanny to deal with any letters from him.

If you want to know, you can ask her."

Luke changed the subject, "I heard that you had a party at home a few days ago?"

"Yes, I got a new TV role and I wanted to invite my friends over to celebrate."

"Can you give me the guest list for the party?"

Rebecca Moser frowned slightly, "You suspect... that someone who attended the party wanted to take revenge on me?"

“Your home has an anti-theft system installed. If you want to circumvent the anti-theft system, it must be someone who is familiar with the conditions of your home.

So, I guess the suspect and his accomplices may have been to your home."

“Oh my god, this is horrible.

I invited them to be my guests, and they..."

“Are there any guests you invite who have conflicts or conflicts of interest with you?”

Rebecca Moser held her head, thought for a moment, and replied, "Yes, there is such a person."

"What's his name?"

“She’s also an actress, Kaya Al-Hati.”

"What's the conflict between you?"

“Strictly speaking, it has something to do with the new role I got this time.

There is a new show called California Girls that is in the works and I am competing with Kaya Al-Hati for the same role.

Kaya Aheti's image did not quite match the role, and the director was not very satisfied with her acting skills.

So, finally I got the role.

I invited her to the party in the hope of easing the relationship between us, but she was sullen throughout and left before the party was over.

It was a bit unpleasant.”

"Do you think she wants to take revenge on you?"

"I don't know, but I can't think of anyone else I have a problem with other than her."

"Do you have her contact information and address?"

"Yes."

……

Robbery-homicide division, 1st squadron office.

After Luke returned to the office, he called everyone to a meeting.

Luke first introduced, "We went to the hospital to see Rebecca Moser. The forensic doctor examined her and found lacerations on her lower body. She was indeed violated, and the forensic doctor extracted the suspect's DNA from her body."

Jenny spread her hands and said, "I can understand that the suspect violated the female star, but why didn't he use a condom and leave such important evidence behind?"

The deputy captain said, "It's like a dog likes to pee everywhere. It's a damn possessive desire, and using a condom can't satisfy their perverted psychology."

Xiao Hei agreed, "What the deputy captain said makes sense. If you just need a woman, you can go to a bar to pick up girls, or you can find a streetwalker. The suspect violated the victim, which shows that he has a certain degree of abnormal psychology."

Luke asked, "Deputy Captain, any new findings at Rebecca Moser's house?"

The deputy captain said, “We have retrieved surveillance footage from Rebecca Moser’s home and the community and are investigating suspect vehicles and individuals.

Also, based on the leads you provided, we interviewed Rebecca Moser's nanny.

According to the nanny, there was indeed a fan who called himself Brett who frequently wrote letters to Rebecca Moser.

Rebecca Moser had some issues with this fan, so the correspondence was handled by her.

The good news is that she didn't destroy the letters, but put them away. "While the deputy captain was talking, he took out a stack of letters from a folder.

"These letters were all written by a fan who called himself Brett. There was no return address or recipient address. I guess these letters were delivered by Brett himself."

Luke asked, "Can we infer the true identity of this Brett from the content of the letter?"

The deputy captain said, "I read these letters, most of them are mushy, not much about Brett himself.

However, it is known that he lives in Los Angeles and is likely a construction worker.

And according to the nanny's description, she always found the envelope the day after the letter date, so we can infer the time he came to the community based on the date of the letter, and we can find out his identity through community monitoring."

Luke nodded. "OK, that sounds like good progress. Let's split up and investigate."
