Chapter 56

Anyway, Julia Pink Diamond Necklace and Delhi Purple Sapphire no longer exist in the world, so Ling Xiao’s last hidden danger in this matter has also completely disappeared, so I learned After the “Diamond: Rare Glory” exhibition restarted, Ling Xiao immediately rushed over.

On the one hand, he wants to find Holly Robinson again and retrieve the gem in her hand. On the other hand, he also wants to see how this matter will develop, especially the very Interesting Scott West.

Since Beckett began to suspect Scott West, as soon as she returned to the office, she immediately shared her own thoughts with Lisbon.

“Do you suspect that Scott West may be the person behind the scenes?” Lisbon couldn’t help but froze slightly. To be honest, she had been focusing on the arrested criminals, hoping to be able to try them out Something of value came, and she never thought about doubting the owner of this case.

“Kate’s words are not unreasonable.” Jane took the coffee in her hand, walked past them, and then sat down on the sofa, looking at them and said seriously: ” That West doesn’t look like a good person, and this kind of fraudulent insurance is very common, and it is easy to judge. We also need to see if his insured amount exceeds the normal insured amount to determine.”

“I have checked it!” Beckett nodded said with certainty: “Scott West invested more than twice the normal amount on the two jewels to which he belongs, if not the third cursed jewel London If there is a strong objection, he will also have a large amount of insurance for the third piece of jewelry.”

“This is very telling.” Jane spread his hands, Shrugged said: “If you don’t know the gems in advance He was robbed, why did he take out that many insurance? You have to know that this insurance money will not be refunded.”

“Okay, then check this Scott West first.” Hear Jane In the same tone, Lisbon decided to start an investigation of West. If things really prove to be related to him, then they will have less pressure on this matter.

In fact, Lisbon has a faint hunch that the gems stolen by the thief may never be found again. Even if we can find a clue, we will not know what will happen in the future.

Once it is proved that the owner of the gems is indeed suspected of insurance fraud, it does not matter whether the last few gems are found.

As soon as the Los Angeles Police Department and the California Bureau of Investigation started investigating Scott West, continuously information emerged from all directions.

“Scott West, male, 46 years old, was born in Brooklyn, New York. His grandfather and father were both diamond businessmen. They belonged to New York LJ West Diamonds, Inc., which has 40 years of diamond trading history. Chairman and general manager.” Standing in front of the projection instrument, Esposito said in a deep voice, “West is keen to find the rarest and most brilliant diamonds. His most proud acquisition recently is the 2.83-carat oval Argyle purple diamond. Although it’s not big, it has the perfect color that has been deposited over several billion years and is of great value.”

Speaking, several pictures of Scott West appeared on the screen, all of them held by him. Jewelry, happy and proud look.

When a photo appeared, Scott West was grinning with a shotgun in one hand and a gem in one hand. At this moment, Jane suddenly said, “I don’t like this person.”

“I don’t like it either.” Rigsby said immediately, because in the background behind the photo, there were a few black-looking men in ragged clothes. At first glance, they knew they were in Africa. Looking for it.

Esposito continues to be introduced: “LJ West Diamonds, Inc. has branches in most major cities in the United States, but his most important base is in Kenya, Africa, where many kinds of gems are produced. Including amethyst, emerald, bluestone, green garnet, ruby, sapphire, tourmaline, etc. It is said that LJ West Diamonds, Inc. owns a diamond mine there, and the price of gems produced annually exceeds 70 million USD.”

“Kenya?” When referring to this place, Kimball Cho couldn’t help but make a sound. Seeing everyone set their sights on oneself, he explained slightly: “Kenya is located in the east of Africa, on the edge of the Indian Ocean. It is adjacent to Somalia to the east, Ethiopia and Sudan to the north, Uganda to the west, and Tanzania to the south.

There are constant wars and conflicts there. If you want to mine there, you must maintain sufficient military Deterrence. I used to have a Buddy in Marines. After leaving the army, he joined a mercenary organization and went to Kenya to pick up the job. Within a few years, he died in a violent conflict.”

“Zhou said That’s right.” Esposito said immediately, “According to the information we obtained from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, LJ West Diamonds, Inc. has more than 50 employees in Kenya, most of whom are military veterans. It is responsible for security work there. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, among those people, also two teams of elite soldiers, they are the core forces to suppress public security. The two teams take turns to ensure safety is not threatened.

Federal Bureau of Investigation pays attention to LJ West Diamonds, Inc. because it smuggles many illegal diamonds from Africa to United States every year, but because most of the cases occurred in Kenya, Africa, and West’s methods are extremely hidden. , So there’s no way for them for the time being.”

Esposito said, showing the photos of West Company’s diamond mine in Africa before everyone’s eyes, all of them in ragged, skinny blacks. The hard work inside is just for one or two subsistence food.

“They are all blood diamonds!” A sigh suddenly came from the door, and everyone looked back and realized that it was Montgomery who was standing there. Although North American blacks have never regarded oneself and African blacks as the same kind of people, Montgomery couldn’t help but to see people with the same skin color as oneself suffering there.

“Go ahead.” After speaking, Montgomery waved his hand and left the conference room.

Esposito can understand Montgomery’s feelings, but he is not the same. Withdrawing his sight, Esposito continued to introduce: “This year, LJ West Diamonds, Inc. has focused on the war-torn Middle East, but thinking about where to mine is definitely not just a simple matter. Relationship, strength, capital, etc. All of these will become West’s constraints.”

“So, this will become the motive for insurance fraud at this time.” Zhou said coldly on the side, this sentence successfully made up for the knife and deepened Everyone is skeptical about West. After all, the insurance of tens of million dollars is not a small amount. If West was able to add the Delhi Purple Sapphire to the insurance list, then the final compensation amount of this insurance would reach hundreds of millions of USD.

The money is enough for them to do anything, so this motivation succeeded in further perfecting the entire chain of evidence. Now all that is left is to find conclusive evidence of the connection between West and Shark.

In the final analysis, this matter still has to start with Shark. If Shark’s true identity is not found in one day, this case will be solved in one day.

If you want to open the gap from West, you must check his financial transactions, but even the Federal Bureau of Investigation has not been able to find out anything, and they have no good way here, unless it is The news of Shark’s death is announced to the media. Once he does this, it means that West also knows about this matter, and he will quickly erase all evidence of the connection with Shark.

But even if the news of Shark’s death is not announced now, as time passes, West can detect that something is wrong.

For this reason, the entire joint case team held several meetings. Everyone had their own opinions and quarreled for several days. Just when most of them agreed to announce Shark’s death to the public, The search program that has been running finally has results.
