Chapter 24 Drunken Ghosts
1367 Words
Eliza's house.
A Dodge car was parked on the roadside.
Luke got out of the car and warned David, "If you dare to kick the door without a search warrant, you'll be dead.”
David disapproved and said, "Come on, don't be so serious. I also look at the situation, not every time. In a community where bad people gather, there won't be any problem doing that. It's just normal.”
The yard of Eliza's house is not fenced, with a garage on the left and a lawn on the right, which is quite neatly trimmed.
Luke waved his hand and said, "You step back, I'll call the door.”
“We are partners and should have more trust.”
“Then you should behave well and win my trust. "Luke walked to Eliza's door and knocked,"
There was no response in the room.
“Dong Dong... "Luke knocked hard a few more times.
“Which bastard is knocking at the door? You'll be dead when I go out! "A irritable voice came from the room.
“Creak... "The door opened and a man in his thirties stood at the door, his face red and his hair messy." Who are you looking for?”
Luke smelled a strong aroma of alcohol, and looking at the other person's state, he probably wasn't fully awake yet, "Eliza,”
“There's no such person here, you can get out of here, "the man said as he prepared to close the door.
Luke pressed his foot against the door and flashed his badge, "Lapd, if Eliza is not here, then we'll have some discussion.”
The man saw the police badge and woke up a bit tipsy. His tone also softened a bit, "What do you want to do?”
“Where is Eliza?”
“I don't know, maybe I ran away with some wealthy bastard, that's what ghosts know.”
“When was the last time you saw her?”
“Why are you asking this? What's wrong with Eliza?”
“Now it's me asking you, answer well.”
“It seems like Friday... yes, that's Friday afternoon. She said she went to her parents' house and never came back after that.”
“Have you tried to find her?”
“No, she sent a text message saying that we were finished playing and asked me not to go find her.”
“What's your name?”
“Steven Moore.”
“What is the conflict between you?”
“It's just some household chores... do your police officers take care of household chores? No, why don't you wear police uniforms?”
“We are not patrols, we are agents from the robbery and murder department.”
“Robbery and Murder Division! What the hell are you doing here?”
“We are investigating a robbery case, and Eliza may be the target of the robbers. We need to confirm her safety.”
“Are you serious?”
“Have you ever doubted the authenticity of text messages? Have you never thought that your wife would be kidn*pped and the suspect would use her phone to send text messages?”
“Oh, my God, Oh, my God...”
Steven touched his forehead with his hand and a look of remorse appeared on his face. “Eliza's phone has been stuck, and I thought she deliberately didn't answer my phone, thinking she was leaving me...Nonono, she won't have an accident, definitely not!”
Luke is most afraid of encountering drunkards when investigating cases, just like in the current situation.
“Steven, calm down. We are here to find Eliza. If you want to find her as soon as possible, you need to assist the police in investigating.”
“Okay, what should I do? "Steven stepped aside." Please come in, please come in and talk
Luke entered the room, which was in a mess, with leftover food on the coffee table and no place to sit on the sofa.
“We need to first determine whether Eliza has run away from home or is in danger. If it is the former, it is a problem between your husband and wife. If it is the latter, the police will do their best to rescue her. You are her husband, you know her better. If she hadn't been kidn*pped, where do you think she would be?”
Steven said without hesitation, "Her parents' house.”
“Have you looked for her?”
“No.”
“Have you made a phone call?”
“No.”
“Since you know that Eliza may be at her parents' house, why don't you call to inquire?”
“My relationship with her parents is not very good. If Eliza wants to leave me, they will definitely support me, and even I suspect they are the ones who instigated it. There is definitely a possibility of this.”
“Do you have any other ways to contact Eliza?”
“No.”
“You can't find Eliza either?”
“You can contact Eliza's parents, she is likely at their home.”
“No need for you to remind us, we will. "Luke stood up and prepared to leave.
“Wow, you're leaving now?”
Luke stopped and said, "When you sober up, remember to take a note at the robbery and murder department.”
Although I have been drinking, I am very clear headed now. I can help you find Eliza now
“Okay, how do you want to find it?”
“I... "Steven opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.
“Before you sober up, don't let me see you again, "Luke said and turned away from the house.
David followed behind and spat, 'I really want to hit this bastard.”
……
Detective Bureau.
Luke and David had just walked to the office door when they saw Captain Susan hurriedly leaving.
“Where has the captain gone?”
The deputy combed his sparse silver hair with a comb and said, "I was called away by the director, probably related to the 'Taser g*n robbery'. Have you found any clues to Eliza.”
Luke took a cup of coffee and moistened his throat. "Eliza is not at home. We met his husband, and when he asked, he thought his wife had run away with a wealthy man.”
The deputy said, "Generally speaking, in cases where a wife is missing, the husband is the first suspect. Why don't you take him back to the bureau for questioning?”
That guy's drunk, drunk. Do you want to take a note of a drunk
“No, "the deputy shook his head." However, I have seen some individuals involved intentionally getting drunk to avoid taking notes. Whenever you go to him, he is in a drunken state. Stay tuned, based on my experience, this guy may have a problem.”
“Yes，captain.”
Vincent corrected, "It's the vice team. Boy, don't try to flatter me, I won't eat this kind of thing.”
Luke smiled and looked at Raymond on the side. "Detective Raymond, can you locate Eliza's phone signal?”
Raymond said solemnly, "I went to the technical department and asked them to locate Eliza's phone and card, but they both failed. Currently, it is in a disconnected state
Luke asked, "Do you have any news from Eliza's parents?”
Jenny replied, "I have informed Eliza's parents, and they are not aware of her whereabouts. Upon learning that she may be missing, they appear very anxious and are inquiring about her whereabouts from their family and friends.”
The deputy team concluded, 'Eliza lost contact with her phone, resigned, and cut off contact with her family. In addition, the disappearance occurred on Friday night, with similar physical features to other victims... From all the above situations, Luke's guess may be correct, as she is highly likely the third victim of the Taser g*n robbery.
Furthermore, from the content of the text message, the suspect has some understanding of Eliza and may be an acquaintance
“Bang.”
Before the deputy team could finish speaking, the office door was violently knocked open.
