Chapter 1842: Homicide

"You give credit? Joseph, what do you mean?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Joseph said with a smug look: "I went to a rugby game with you, and I was able to solve a case. It is still a very concerned case, so what if I'll be your driver for this?
Xiao Peng asked puzzledly: "Oh, you're talking about that George, right? What's wrong with him? Drug trafficking?"
Joseph shook his head: "He doesn't have the guts, he is theft."
Xiao Peng lost interest after hearing this, so is it credit for catching a thief? When did the law and order of your Star Stripe Nation become as good as China?
But Joseph said, "Don't underestimate him! What he stole is terrific!"
Xiao Peng was taken aback: "What did he steal? Don't tell me he went to the military base and stole a tank as a bumper car."
Joseph laughed: "The things he stole are more precious than tanks."
"Huh? More precious than tanks?" Xiao Peng became interested.
Joseph explained: "On the Avenue of Stars, there is a metal pavilion built half a century ago. The four pillars of the pavilion are the four Oscar queens, and the top of the pavilion is Marilyn Monroe. To commemorate the contributions of these five actresses to Hollywood movies."
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "I know this. I've seen photos taken there. It's a very good attraction."
Joseph said: "George stole the bronze statue of Marilyn Monroe at the top of the pavilion!"
"WHAT?" Xiao Peng was shocked: "Is there anything wrong? Are you kidding me?"
The pavilion is not small. It is divided into two parts. The bottom four pillars made of bronze statues nearly three meters high support the entire pavilion. The top is a metal spire, and the spire is Marilyn Monroe. It has a height of six or seven meters, and the bronze statue has to be several hundred catties, and the pavilion is at a bustling intersection. How did he do it?
Joseph said: "He ran somewhere in the middle of the night, saw off the bronze statue, hung it down and mounted it on the car, and then stole it without any technical content. This case has troubled us for a long time. I didn't expect to talk to you. You can catch him by watching a game."
Xiao Peng blinked, "Dude, are you kidding me? Is it difficult to solve such a case?"
Joseph shrugged and said, "We don’t have as much surveillance in public areas as your Huaxia. We need to investigate here, but it happened in the middle of the night. Some people saw it and thought it was doing repair work. They only saw a Ford F150. Pickup trucks have more F150s than rabbits in the Stars and Stripes. You can imagine how difficult this investigation is. And this case happened on the Avenue of Stars, which is simply hitting the face of the Los Angeles police! I did not expect to be caught like this. I This is a great achievement!"
Xiao Peng blinked, "He did all the tricks?"
Joseph nodded: "Yes, originally we were going to investigate the whereabouts of the statue tomorrow, but now it's fine, I don't have to go."
Xiao Peng looked apologetic: "Isn't it because I wasted your chance to do meritorious service?"
"No, no! Xiao, you misunderstood, I have to go!" Joseph said.
"Huh? Why?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Joseph explained: "The idiot sold the bronze statue to a pawnshop owned by the country of Xiong. Those pawnshops in the country of Xiong specialize in selling stolen goods. I didn’t know where the bronze statue was sold. They won’t leave any evidence at the time. Want to investigate where this bronze statue is? It’s a very troublesome thing. Anyway, I’ve got the credit now.
Let someone else do the hard work. Why not accompany you as a driver, and I tell you, there is overtime pay. "
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Then you will work hard. Your status prevents me from giving you hard work. It's okay, I will give you some gifts for your children."
Joseph hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, Xiao, the gift you gave me might make me unemployed."
"Not for you, but for your children." Xiao Peng smiled.
Suddenly Joan who was sitting in the back row yelled: "Broken!"
Xiao Peng quickly turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Joan said, "The police took the SD card from the dash cam as evidence just now. It contains the content of my chat with you."
Xiao Peng suddenly realized, but he wasn't worried, he didn't say anything, but Joan was talking about the troubles of his own family.
Joseph said, "Madam, don't worry. I will call my colleagues to talk about the situation here. Don't worry, we will only pick out the useful content."
But Joan was still uneasy, Xiao Peng simply called Qiao Jason again to explain the matter here, and Joan was relieved.
At SKIDROW, Alessi went up by herself-Xiao Peng still had lingering fears about her roommate Morena Panabeck.
Alessi and Joan couldn't laugh when they heard that, Joan wanted to go up too, but Alessi refused --- this is not Beverly Hills where Joan lives.
"Joan, Joseph, what do you want to eat for a while?" Xiao Peng asked.
Joseph smiled: "You can tell me which bar you want to go to so late. I can't tell you where there is delicious food."
Joan shrugged after hearing this: "Don't look at me either. I want to lose weight. I will gain weight by eating at night."
Joseph said: "Generally speaking, I want to find a place to eat in the middle of the night, so I can only find a bar to eat casually."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng shrugged and said: "Come on, let's go to Chinatown, where there is a Chinatown to eat. No matter what time!"
After hearing this, Joseph patted his hands: "You are really right! There must be delicious food in Chinatown!"
"Joan, is it okay to go to Chinatown?" Xiao Peng asked.
"Of course no problem!" Joan smiled
Xiao Peng just wanted to call A Can and ask him to help arrange it, but he heard a scream from the building.
"It's broken, it's Alesi's voice!" Xiao Peng pulled the car door and rushed up. Joseph took out his pistol, first notified the police, and then went upstairs with Joan.
After they went upstairs, they found Xiao Peng was holding Alessi there to comfort her.
"What's the matter?" Joseph asked.
Xiao Peng pointed to the room and said, "Morena is dead."
"What?" After hearing this, Joseph took the gun and entered the room. The room was in a mess, and Morena Panabek was lying naked on the ground. Joseph stepped forward to check, and he came out and took out his phone directly: "It's murder."
"Huh? It's not an overdose?" Xiao Peng was taken aback. He began to think that Morena died of an overdose, but Joseph told him that it was a murder?
Joseph said: "Yes, it was strangled to death. The deceased should know her. There is no sign of picking the lock, but something is puzzling."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.
"Morena went through fierce resistance during her lifetime. Her current body is extremely weak due to drug use. How could the resistance be so fierce? Otherwise, the murderer is a drug addict, or else
She is a weak woman. Only in this way can it be explained reasonably. Joseph said, "Forget it, don't enter the crime scene. Let the police investigate. I have already called to inform the support. "
Xiao Peng nodded: "Alessi, let's go, we don't need your things!"
Alessi said, "I will take that photo!"
She was talking about a photo with Xiao Peng and Alesi. It turned out that she wanted to take it when she came back. Xiao Peng asked Joseph to help her take out the photo. Several people returned to the car and waited for the police to investigate.
Alessi was even more sad than Xiao Peng imagined. She was a little puzzled about this. How could a woman who had taken drugs like this be so sad for her?
As a result, Xiao Peng was shocked when Alessi told him Morena was only 24 years old. 24 years old? Say she believes Xiao Peng at 42 years old, right?
"Xiao, Morena turned out to be really not like this. She is a very caring girl. We met when we worked in a coffee shop together. She is different from me. She actually has a good family. Then she went to Uganda, Africa. , Joined an NGO that specializes in helping local children. We never saw her. When I saw her again, I almost didn’t recognize her! I couldn’t figure out how she became like this!"
NGO is the abbreviation of ‘Non-Governmental Organization’. Formally speaking, there are several conditions for becoming an NGO.
For example, it must be organized and have rules and regulations guaranteed by law; the other is a non-governmental organization, so it has a strong non-governmental nature, and it is not controlled by the government and does not belong to the government; and it is non-profit. NGOs are for the development of social welfare. It cannot be made for the purpose of making money; in addition, because it is a non-profit organization, their organization and development rely on people's voluntary participation, and finally cannot have political bias and religious colors.
People from the Stars and Stripes countries are particularly good at this. There are now at least a thousand NGOs from the Stars and Stripes countries in Africa who are doing good deeds there.
Many people say, look at how caring people are in Star Stripe Country?
In fact, the organizational strength of these NGOs can really achieve the above-mentioned ones, which is simply rare. Most NGOs in Africa are either for making money or for preaching. . . . . .
Joseph, who was sitting there smoking a cigarette, didn't take the matter to heart, but he was taken aback when he heard what Alessi said. He turned around and asked, "You said Morena worked for a child-saving NGO in Uganda? You? Do you remember the name of that NGO?"
Alessi nodded: "Of course I remember. Morena told me that the organization is called ‘Save His Child’ and it is an NGO that has been established there for more than ten years."
After hearing this, Joseph slapped his thigh sharply: "That's right!"
After speaking, he just opened the door and went out to make a call. I don’t know what he said. Anyway, his expression was very serious, and the police car he called came after he didn’t finish the call. He ran to explain to the police there It took a long time to get back in the car. .
Xiao Peng asked puzzledly: "Joseph, what happened?"
Joseph was silent for a while, and said to Xiao Peng: "I think of a suspect. It's Rene Buck."
"Who?" Xiao Peng was even more confused.
"you do not know?"
"Nonsense! I'm not Google, how can I know everyone?"
"No, I remember that she publicly said that she was the person you called me."
"what did you say?"
