LA Detective

Chapter 696 Arrest
The next morning, the Robbery and Murder Division.

Jackson walked into the captain's office and said, "Captain, I found an important clue."

Luke pointed to the chair opposite him and said, "Sit down and talk."

Jackson held a document in his hand and said, "I carefully investigated the suspect Kabine Bess's experience and found that he had a history of drug trafficking and theft, and had been sent to a drug rehabilitation center many times.

At the same time, I also investigated the information of the agent Wendell Duma and found that he also had a history of drug abuse and had been to a drug rehabilitation center for treatment.

Coincidentally, the two were in the same drug rehabilitation center and their time overlapped.”

Luke asked for the information and looked through it carefully. Sure enough, in 2022, both of them went to the same drug rehabilitation center for drug rehabilitation.

Luke stood up and said, "Gather your gear and meet in the parking lot in five minutes."

"Yes, sir."

……

Forty minutes later.

Wendell Duma's home in Oswald.

Three police cars stopped outside Wendell Duma's house. The team members got out of the cars one after another, and Jackson went to the gate and rang the doorbell.

Then the gate opened and a white woman dressed as a maid led the group into the villa.

Entering the living room, Luke saw Wendell Duma and a woman sitting on the sofa drinking coffee. He was a little surprised, "Ms. Rebecca Moser, why are you here too?"

Rebecca Moser stood up and said, “I’m discharged.

But I don’t want to go home just yet.

Wendel Duma let me stay at his house temporarily." Then, she looked at Wendel Duma and joked, "Thank you again for taking in a homeless person like me, otherwise, I would have to wander the streets."

"Hey, stop talking nonsense. You can stay as long as you want." Wendell Duma stood up, patted Rebecca Moser on the shoulder, and asked, "Captain Li, why did you suddenly come to my house?"

"We have found some information about the suspect and we want to verify it with you."

"No problem, I'm happy to help you." Wendel Duma forced a smile.

Luke pulled out a photo of the suspect, Kabine Bess, and asked, "Mr. Duma, do you know this man?"

Wendell Duma picked up the photo, looked at it, and shook his head, "I don't know him. Is he the suspect in the robbery?"

"Yes, are you sure you don't know him?"

"I am sure."

"But according to our investigation, in 2022, both of you were undergoing drug rehabilitation in the same drug rehabilitation center."

Wendel Duma's face changed slightly, "That doesn't mean I necessarily know him."

Luke pulled out a document, "This is a search warrant, Mr. Dumas. We want to search your house. I hope you will cooperate."

Wendell Duma said angrily, "Hey, you can't do this, are you doubting me?
How could I possibly hurt Rebecca? I always considered her as my own family member."

Rebecca Moser also said, “Captain Li, you guys must have misunderstood.

Wendell Duma has always been the person I trust the most, and he would never hurt me."

"I hope so too. As long as we investigate thoroughly, we can completely eliminate his suspicion." Luke said, and ordered his men to search the villa and the yard.

Wendel Duma was furious, "You are crazy to think I have anything to do with the suspect."

Rebecca Moser walked over to Wendell Duma and comforted him, "Dear, I believe you, there must be some misunderstanding."

Looking at these two people who loved each other, Luke felt that he was a little conspicuous, so he simply left the villa and went to search the yard.

After a while, Porter's voice rang out from the garage, "Captain, I found something here."

Luke walked into the garage and saw Porter standing behind a red Porsche with the trunk door open. Porter lifted the trunk mat and there was a black toolbox underneath.

Porter opened the lid of the toolbox and found no tools inside, but a gun and some exquisite jewelry.

"Bring these things into the living room."

"Yes, sir."

Later, Luke and his group walked into the living room, where Rebecca Moser and Wendell Duma were still sitting on the sofa, talking in low voices.

Potter placed the black tool box on the coffee table and pointed at the jewelry inside. "Ms. Moser, do you recognize these pieces of jewelry?"

Rebecca Moser was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment on her face, “These are my jewellery that was stolen, and you found them back!

Where was it found? Has the suspect been caught? "

Luke said, "These jewelry were found in Wendell Duma's car. As for the whereabouts of the suspect, you have to ask Mr. Duma."

Wendel Duma's face turned very ugly. He took a step back and sat down on the sofa.

Rebecca Moser opened her mouth in disbelief. "Wendell, what is going on? Why are my stolen jewelry in your house?"

Wendel Duma lowered his head and remained silent.

Rebecca Moser looked very unhappy and choked up, "Oh my God, you are in cahoots with that suspect. I trusted you so much, why did you hurt me?"

Wendell Duma sighed, “Rebecca, I didn’t mean to hurt you, I swear, it shouldn’t have been like this.

I just asked him to rob your house, I didn't expect that bastard would hurt you.

After knowing this, I am even angrier than you are.”

Rebecca Moser was puzzled, "Why did you let him rob my house?"

"I'm trying to help you." Wendell Duma waved his hands helplessly, "You're over 30, past your best years, you haven't received a good role for a long time, and your exposure is getting less and less.

It’s very difficult to get the supporting female role in a TV series nowadays.

A while ago, Bradley Linderman came to me and said that his wife had given him an ultimatum to break up with you.

He wants me to persuade you to break up peacefully."

Wendell Duma took a deep breath, "Do you know what that means?

If you separate from Bradley Linderman, without his resources and connections, it will be difficult for you to even get a supporting role in a TV series in the future.

So, I came up with this idea.

I originally hoped that the robbery would give you topics and exposure, and that your career would usher in a second development.

In fact, this is true. I have received invitations from several shows.

Do you know how many reporters from TV stations are squatting outside your house right now?
You are popular again."

"I don't need to be famous this way." Rebecca Moser showed an angry look, "You don't know what I went through that night? You don't know at all."

Wendell Duma explained, “I told you, I just asked him to rob, I didn’t think that bastard would hurt you.

I am also very angry.”

Luke said smoothly, "So, you killed him."

Wendell Duma hesitated and denied, "No, I didn't kill him."

"Then why are these stolen goods here with you?"

Wendel Duma said, "He ran away in a hurry, so I sold these things and gave him the money."

"Where is he?"

"I do not know."

"Then how do you give him the money?"

"I..." Wendell Duma thought for a moment, "He said he would contact me again."

Luke stared at the other person and said, "You know what? You're not good at lying."

Wendel Duma insisted, "Everything I said is true. I didn't kill him."

Afterwards, Luke stayed at the scene to investigate, leaving the deputy team responsible for tracking down the suspect, Kabine Bess.

The deputy captain first checked the dashcam of Wendel Duma's Porsche and found that the dashcam's connection cable had been unplugged and had not been used for some time.

Afterwards, he could only contact the car manufacturer and investigate the car's GPS positioning system, and found that Wendel Duma drove to Highway 1 early yesterday morning, which was consistent with the escape route of the suspect Kabine Bess.

The deputy captain led people to the GPS location and found that the surrounding area was a desert. Based on the deputy captain's experience, the surrounding area was very suitable for murder and burial, but the search was also very difficult and might waste a lot of police resources.

After consideration, the deputy captain did not mobilize too many police forces, but instead called in two sniffer dogs.

With the car's GPS location as the center, two sniffer dogs searched both sides of the road, and the search lasted for several hours.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a police dog discovered something unusual and started digging the ground with its two paws.

Then, the two police officers dug down at the location where the police dog discovered the thing. After digging about thirty centimeters, they found a shovel.

The police dog is still barking.

The police continued to dig down, and after about one meter deep, they dug out a black bag. The bag was very large, as long as a person.

The police dug up the surrounding soil and smelled a strong stench of corpse before they even opened the black bag.

A police officer wearing a mask and gloves opened a black bag, revealing a body inside. It was the wanted suspect, Kabine Bes.
