Chapter 14: Old Cases

Kate Beckett put the canned coffee in her hand on the table, looked at Ling Xiao with a serious face, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you tell me more specifically?" ”

Ling Xiao frowned, looked at Kate Beckett, and asked with some puzzlement: "For such a gang fire, don't you Los Angeles Police Department just ignore it as long as it doesn't hurt ordinary citizens, what happened to make you care so much about this matter?" ”

As Ling Xiao said, the Los Angeles Police Department wants all the gangsters in the entire city of Los Angeles to kill each other and die. Of course, the premise is not to hurt innocent citizens.

Kate Beckett glanced at Ling Xiao, and suddenly leaned back in the chair with some relief, put her right hand on her left hand, and said softly while rubbing it gently: "Recently, I found a clue, it is said that the person who killed my mother back then was a member of the Japanese gangster Nissin Society. ”

"What?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but be startled and sat up straight, this news was really surprising. If this was the case, Ling Xiao pondered whether he could take this opportunity to defeat the Nissin Society, one of the important branches of the Hand Peace Society in Los Angeles, or even burn the fire to the Hand Peace Society.

Of course, all this is premised on the fact that the clues that Beckett said are true. After a little muttering, Ling Xiao asked in a deep voice: "Catherine, didn't you say before that the last case that your mother investigated before the accident was not a case of the death of a prostitute, how could it involve the Nissin Society." ”

"The prostitute who died back then should have been killed by her customers, and then the pimp who managed her also died, and all the clues were broken, and the matter could not be investigated, and some of them deliberately obstructed the investigation, and the case was closed." Kate Beckett said with some hatred.

Kate Beckett's mother, who was stabbed to death in an alley back then, had cash, bags and jewelry on her body, and there was no trace of being sexually assaulted, so she was killed in an alley. The police officers who investigated the case at the time attributed the case to gang violence and accidental injuries, which was a random incident, and no one was ever found.

Beckett was supposed to go to dinner with her father and mother that day, and she was supposed to meet them at the restaurant, but she never showed up. It wasn't until they came home and saw a police officer in full gear at the door that they realized what had happened.

In Beckett's view, the police officer who handled the case back then just made up a story that he thought was good, and he didn't catch the murderer at all.

Beckett grew up to be a police officer and began to investigate the case herself, and her boss, who happened to be your mother, also acquiesced in Beckett's private investigation of the case.

Beckett began to investigate every case of her mother's life, and finally locked the case on the murder of a prostitute, which was going on, the murdered high-ranking prostitute was abused and killed by her client, and the pimp who managed her also died, and the information about the most important guest disappeared, and the police officer in charge of the case, that is, Beckett's mother, was subsequently killed, and the whole case was closed.

Beckett gritted his teeth and continued: "A while ago, I found a clever forensic doctor and asked him to help me look at the forensic evidence in my mother's case, and finally found it. ”

Ling Xiao knew how painful all this was for Beckett, and she would only say so much on Ling Xiao's side, and she would never reveal so much in front of others. Ling Xiao stretched out his hand and gently held Beckett's left hand, silently comforting him.

"The case was determined by the forensic doctor to be a random incident, but the forensic doctor I looked for found a flaw after looking at it carefully." Beckett gritted his teeth and said: "There are more than a dozen wounds on my mother's body, and most of them are non-fatal, only one knife, aimed at the kidney at a low angle, the wound shows that the knife is angled, my mother was in shock at that time, and the rest of the wounds were caused by my mother lying on the ground without moving, all of them were just a disguise." ”

"It looks like it's a murder." Ling Xiao sighed softly, before Beckett investigated this case, he investigated the case based on his thoughts about his mother, but now as soon as the evidence comes out, this case can be brought to the table for investigation in the open.

"Later, on my senses, I looked up the medical examiner's other information to see if the case was independent, and finally found that there were three cases of knife murder at that time, all of which were judged random by the court." Beckett clenched the coffee can in his hand, clenched his fists, and said with a face full of resentment: "And those suspects in the knife murder case are all members of the Nissin Society." ”

"You mean that the forensic doctor was bought off by the people of the Nissin Society?" Ling Xiao asked with a frown.

"That's right." Beckett breathed a sigh of relief at this time, looked up at Ling Xiao and said with some loss: "Just when I was investigating the forensic doctor, I found that he died in a car accident three months after my mother's accident. ”

"Car accident?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at Kate Beckett, if there was nothing strange about that case, then the car accident was also a car accident, and it would not arouse anyone's suspicion, but now it is different, it is obvious that this car accident also has a big strangeness.

"Because the man is dead, most of the information has disappeared." Beckett slammed the table and said, "I originally wanted to check the forensic doctor's financial situation to see if there was any connection with the Nissin Society, but the person is gone, and all his property has been inherited by his children, and I can't find any useful clues from the remaining information." ”

"Or maybe they used cash in the first place." Ling Xiao sighed, took out a can of iced coffee and handed it to Beckett, and explained in a low voice: "Among the gangsters, there are not many people who know high-end money laundering methods, and for them, it is most convenient to trade directly with cash. ”

"Therefore, this clue cannot be investigated further." Beckett was also a little depressed, and she continued: "Not only that, but after my mother's case, there have been no similar robberies and murders before. ”

Shaking his head, Beckett raised his head and looked at Ling Xiao, and said with a slight request: "I came to you today, just hoping that you can help me investigate through the channels on your side, who is in the Nissin Society, good at that kind of technique, and his current whereabouts." After all, the only person who knows a person best is his enemies besides himself. If you want to check the information of the Nissin Society, it is absolutely right to find you Chinese gangsters. ”

"I have nothing to do with the Chinese gang." Ling Xiao frowned, Beckett's words made him sound very uncomfortable, if it weren't for Qin Ming and those childhood companions, Ling Xiao would have cut off all contact with the Four Seas Gang a long time ago.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I lost my word!" Of course, Beckett knew about Ling Xiao's situation, and apologized earnestly, and then asked cautiously: "Then that matter." ”

Ling Xiao glanced at Beckett deeply, nodded slightly, and said, "I'll try to help you ask, whether there is a result or not, I can't guarantee it." ”

"Okay, I'll accept the result." Beckett let out a long sigh of relief, there was Ling Xiao's investigation, and the result was certain.

After this was settled, Beckett then asked, "Okay, tell me what happened last night, you have to give me something about it, take it back and pay it back." ”

Seeing Beckett pick up Erlang's legs, Ling Xiao shook his head and said helplessly: "Okay, since you want to hear it, then I'll talk about it." But what I say is only between you and me, and I don't recognize half of it when I leave this room. ”

"Good!" A smug smile appeared on Beckett's face, and it was precisely because of this smile that Ling Xiao would sincerely help Beckett.
