Chapter 674 The Truth

To be precise, Luke had given a key to Henry Lawley's robbed leather bag, and that key happened to open the same door lock.

Luke searched the two robbers and found a key from the long-haired robber's pocket, which was exactly the same as the key he had found in Henry Lawley's robbed leather bag.

This is interesting.

Why did Henry Lawley have the key to the door lock here?

Luke sighed, as expected, things involving politicians will become more complicated.

After clearing his thoughts, Luke walked out of the room and saw Henry Lawley sitting on the edge of the road drinking coffee.

Luke walked over and said hello, "Mr. Henry Lawley."

Henry Lawley put the coffee cup next to him, stood up and said, "Officer Li, thank you again for saving me.

Next time I see the chief of the LAPD, I will have a drink with him. "

Luke nodded, "Mr. Lawley, can you tell me about the situation when you were kidnapped?"

"Of course, that night...

It should be said that it was the early morning of December 11th. Yes, I will always remember that day.

Because it was the critical moment of the campaign, I was under great pressure and often suffered from insomnia.

That night was the same, I couldn't sleep and was upset, so I wanted to find a place to have a drink or two.

After that, I left the hotel alone and took a taxi to a nearby bar.

The environment of that bar was average, but the atmosphere was very relaxed. I felt much better because I had to work the next day. After having a drink, I was ready to go back to the hotel to rest.

As a result, I was robbed as soon as I left the bar.

My money, watch, and mobile phone were all taken away by the other party. I was worried that he would kill me.

Fortunately, he just wanted money and let me go.

I was so frightened that I kept running into the alley. There was a car parked not far away, and two people were smoking next to it.

I ran to ask for help and wanted to borrow their cell phone to call the police. "Henric Lawley paused for a moment and sighed, "However, something I didn't expect happened.

The two men recognized me and asked me if I was Henry Lawley, and I said yes.

I thought they would help me...

But they held me hostage with a pistol, pushed me into the car, and then they knocked me unconscious.

When I woke up again, I was already captured in this house.

They asked me to call my wife and demanded a ransom of two million. They also said that anyone who dared to call the police would kill me. "

After listening to the other party's description, Luke felt that it was half true and half false. Apart from other things, he didn't mention the call girl, and Luke didn't expose it, so it didn't mean much.

"How many robbers are there in total?"

"I only saw two."

"Do you know the two people who just killed the robbers?"

"do not know."

Luke pulled out a picture of Will Stott, "Do you know him?"

Henry Lawley glanced at him and swallowed, "It looks familiar. Yes, I saw him in the bar and we chatted for a while."

"Does he know you are Henry Lawley?"

“Yes, he said he was my supporter and said I would definitely succeed in the election, so I bought him a drink.

He's a nice guy. "

"Do you think he was involved in the kidnapping?"

"How is that possible? We just met by chance.

He has nothing to do with the two men who kidnapped me. "

Luke stared at Henry Lawley and asked, "Have you known him before?"

"do not know."

"Have you never seen him before?"

"No." Henry Lawley shook his head and looked slightly sideways.

Luke kept staring at the other person, vaguely aware that Henry Lawley was showing signs of lying.

He should have met and known Will Stout before.

But why don't you admit it?

Does Will Stott know some of his privacy? This is why Will Stout was killed.

“Officer Li, can you take me back to the hotel?

My wife can't wait to see me. "

Luke said, “I’m afraid that’s not possible now, we still need to go back to the police station to take notes.

After finishing the transcript, I will send someone to take you back to the hotel. "

"I'm a little tired now. Can I go to the police station tomorrow to take notes?"

"I will ask someone to prepare a lounge for you at the police station." After Luke finished speaking, he said to Jenny beside him, "Take Mr. Henry Lawley back to the police station to rest."

Jenny made a gesture of invitation, "Mr. Lawley, come with me."

Henry Lawley nodded helplessly, looked at Luke again, got in the car and left.

Luke called a member of the technical team and pointed to the paper cup Henry Lawley had just drank coffee from, "Take this paper cup back for appraisal."

"Okay, Captain Li."

…

The next morning.

Robbery and Murder Division, Interrogation Room No. 1.

The deputy team member and Xiao Hei walked into the interrogation room one after another. There was a white man handcuffed on the interrogation chair. It was Logan who appeared at the kidnapping scene last night.

The deputy looked at him and asked, "What's your name?"

Logan looked at the two of them and said indifferently, "Shouldn't you have already found out?"

"Yes, you are a murderer." The deputy team member would not tolerate him and directly slapped him with a hat.

"I'm on a mission."

"A mission from the mental hospital?"

"No, my name is Logan Burnham. I am a member of the Secret Service under the Department of Homeland Security. The task I received from my superiors is to rescue Henry Lawley.

I did it.

Your people followed us and tried to take away our credit, which is really despicable. "

"You should know that the case of Henry Lawley's kidnapping was investigated by our Detective Bureau."

"So what?

I didn't stop your investigation, but obviously... we rescued Henry Lawley faster. "

"How did you know the kidnapper's location?"

"What we found has nothing to do with you."

"We found two million dollars in the robber's room. Where did it come from?"

"OK, it doesn't matter if I tell you.

The robbers made a ransom call to Henry Lawley's wife, and Mrs. Lawley told us the news.

We put trackers in the boxes of money when we trade…

You know the rest. "

The vice team pulled out a picture of Will Stott, "Do you know him?"

Logan Burnham thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know."

“In the early morning of December 13, he was shot dead at home and his body was put in a freezer.

And the bullet that killed him came from your gun.

How do you explain that? "

Logan Burnham sighed, "I remembered that this person also made a ransom call to Mrs. Lawley, claiming that they had kidnapped Henry Lawley and demanded ransom.

Then, I tracked him to his home, hoping to take the opportunity to rescue Henry Lawley, but I could not find Henry Lawley's whereabouts.

He had a weapon in his hand and we shot him to protect ourselves. "

"How many ransoms did he ask for?"

"Twice, $100,000 each time."

"How was the ransom paid?"

"I gave him the money in person."

"Why didn't you track him down to his home the first time?"

"Lost."

“Isn’t it too cheap to kidnap the future governor and only ask for $200,000?”

"The ransom was offered by the other party, so we have no reason to increase the price."

"Then why do you have to ask for it twice?"

"I don't know either."

"Also, why do you have to face-to-face to collect the ransom? Is the robber's vigilance too weak?"

Logan Burnham shrugged, "So, he's a fake robber who just wants to steal some money."

The deputy team member still felt that there was something wrong. He had handled too many kidnapping cases, and this method of asking for ransom was unreasonable.

…

At the same time, the Robbery and Murder Division lounge.

Henry Lawley was sitting in the lounge, holding coffee in his hand and looking out the window. He didn't know whether he was lost in thought or in a daze.

"Creak..."

The door to the lounge opened, and Luke and Jackson walked into the lounge.

Henry Lawley stood up and asked, "Officer Li, can I go back to the hotel?"

Luke shook the document in his hand, "Sorry, I have to finish the transcript."

"What are you waiting for?"

The three of them sat at the desk in the break room. Luke stared at each other and asked, "What's your name?"

Henry Lawley smiled, "Is it so formal?"

"Yes."

"Henry Lawley."

Luke looked serious, "Did I ask for your real name?"

‘Henric Lawley’ was stunned, “If my name is not Henry Lawley, what else could I be called?”

"I ask again, what is your name?"

"If you doubt my identity, you can ask my wife to come."

Luke shook his head, "Don't take chances. The only one who can save you now is yourself."

"I don't know what you mean. Maybe I need to find a lawyer."

"Is it your lawyer, or Mrs. Lawley's lawyer?"

"Is there a difference?"

"What do you think Mrs. Lawley would do if she knew that you wrote and directed the kidnapping?"

In just a few words, the sweat of 'Henric Lawley' was already flowing down the sides of his forehead. He swallowed and said, "I don't like this joke."

"Remember your coffee cup from early morning? We did an appraisal."

'Henric Lawley' sighed softly, "We almost look exactly the same. How did you find out?"

"We caught the man who robbed you outside the pub and recovered your watch and purse, which contained a key.

It is the key to the door of the house where you are hidden.

Do you want me to continue? "

'Henric Lawley' bit his finger, "Does Mrs. Lawley know about this?"

"We don't know yet."

"Please don't tell her, they'll kill me if she knows I screwed this up."

Luke repeated his previous question, "Who are you?"

"Henric Lawley's stand-in, Farrak Burr."

"Where is the real Henry Lawley?"

"He's sick and just had surgery in New York."

"How long have you been working for him?"

"It's been half a year.

Most of them help him attend some occasions that he feels are dangerous or meaningless. "

"Why did you direct and act in this kidnapping case?"

"I'm tired of this kind of life, I don't want to be restricted, I don't want to be someone's substitute, I want to live freely.

Moreover, I also need some money.

Therefore, I saw this opportunity, but the plan did not go smoothly. First, I met an acquaintance in the bar, and was robbed as soon as I left the bar.

What is even more depressing is that the media reported the news of my disappearance, making the kidnapping case public knowledge. "Freak Burr sighed,

"If it weren't for the media's extensive coverage, I believe Mrs. Lawley would definitely not call the police. As long as she pays the ransom, all problems will be solved."

Luke laughed, "You are right, Mrs. Lawley will not call the police.

But he may let the Secret Service kill you directly, just like killing your two companions."

"She won't, her husband's body has not fully recovered, she needs me to hold the scene.

When this matter is over, I will naturally leave."

"Then you still can't get the money."

"You are right, I still think they are too kind."
