Chapter 316

Of course Richard won’t know, even if Mayor James is his good friend, then he won’t tell himself some of the things he did that year. And it was the relationship between the two that was destined to be here in Beckett, and Richard would never have the slightest chance.

“Tell me, what did you find when you called me?” Beckett and Ling Xiao stood up side by side and looked at Richard. The distinction between inside and outside was very obvious.

Took a deep breath, Richard suppressed his unhappiness, said solemnly: “Because I suddenly had a glimpse, we have been’seeing’ the evidence for such a long time, but I think , We should try to’listen to’ the evidence!”

When Richard said this, Beckett and Ling Xiao immediately looked at each other. They understood that Richard should have discovered something new from this other perspective. clue.

While walking in, Richard said: “The beginning of the matter was when Laura told others that she heard something on the phone that she shouldn’t have heard. Our writer called these things ‘Cause the incident.’ No matter who she is talking to, no matter what she hears, these all are the real reasons for her killing.”

“So what’s the use of these?” Beckett stopped Stepping, looking at Richard and saying: “I mean, that phone sex firm’s hard drive was stolen and all relevant data is gone. We will never know what he heard on the phone?”

“Yes, but we might know who she heard from.” Richard gave a triumphant chuckle, and said, “You should remember Laura watching on Gotham Channel 11. Did you fall asleep during those TV tapes?”

“You are talking about the tape where we found her in the same frame as Mayor?” Beckett seemed to be sounding something.

“Yes.” Richard nodded, excitedly said: “She was not asleep, she just closed her eyes, she was not looking at the tape, she was listening to the voice… …”

“So you mean she is recognizing the caller’s voice through the video tape?” Beckett immediately understood what Richard meant. Since the person calling her is probably a city hall employee , Then through the video of Mayor James’ whereabouts, it is possible to discover the person’s true identity.

At this time, this is when the primary election of the presidential election is in full swing. Mayor James has done a lot of publicity. It couldn’t be easier to find his whereabouts videos on TV and the Internet.

Richard opened the door of the conference room and said to Beckett and Ling Xiao: “So I asked Sara, our lucky operator, to listen to those assistants. What did you find? “

Sarah is the operator of that phone sex firm. Although she doesn’t know what Laura heard on the phone, she can still hear who is Laura’s regular customer. Operator, after the outside call came in, she was the first one.

Put down the earphones, Sara lifts the head and looked at the three people who walked in, nodded hard, and said: “I’m sure it is him, he is Laura’s regular visitor.”

“Show them who it is?” Richard said and asked Sara to play the clues she found on the computer.

The scene on the computer screen was exactly what Mayor James was talking to one of his staff members. Beckett couldn’t help being frowned and asked, “Are you saying that Laura’s regular customer is Mayor himself? “

“No, it’s not Mayor.” Sara pointed to the staff member who was putting on Mayor James’ jacket on the screen, and said, “It’s him.”

White He is six feet tall and has dark long hair. His characteristics are similar to those of Laura’s landlord who appeared in the apartment.

Richard said with a cold laugh: “Jordan Norris, Deputy Assistant to the Mayor’s Chief of Staff, he can touch or even take Mayor’s jacket without arousing anyone’s suspicion. The Foundation He is also in charge of the flow of funds. If you want to find out the truth, just find him.”

Soon, Jordan Norris was taken by the Los Angeles Police to the police station building, first through Laura The landlord took him to the interrogation room only after getting the affirmative answer.

“Mr. Norris, you once told us that you don’t know Laura Cambridge, right?” Beckett stared at the person she had personally recorded, and asked casually.

“Yes.” Jordan Norris was very confident sitting opposite Beckett and Richard. At this time, he didn’t know that his own identity had been exposed.

“But your 89-year-old old grandmother Greta Mackensen knows the deceased.” Beckett lifts the head took a look at Jordan, then looked at the information in his hand expressionlessly, and said: “According to the sex phone record, Laura received many calls from your grandmother.”

“This makes poor Greta look quite naughty!” Richard followed snered, said: “Until we learn that you have been Helping her to look after the house, do I still need to continue talking?”

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but lightly watch Beckett and Richard sing and cooperate with each other, step by step through Jordan Norris’s psychological defense. Smile lightly.

Ling Xiao not at all enters the interrogation room, but stands in the cubicle through the single-sided see-through glass to watch every detail of the interrogation, and beside him stands Beckett’s boss Montgomery and Kevin ·Ryan and Esposito.

In the face of sufficient evidence, Jordan Norris can only admit helplessly: “Well, I may make that kind of service call from time to time, but I never know who the other party is. Right, I How is it possible to know?”

“We’ll check it out later.” Beckett casually revealed the topic, continued to flip through the information in his hand, and said: “At the same time, we checked your Call log, a month ago, you sent this text message to this disposable cellphone.”

Beckett put the call in front of Jordan Norris, and his voice gradually became colder: “To many people Say, it looks like a series of random numbers, but after our investigation, we found that it was an account information of Mayor James and his charity, and someone used this account to frame Mayor to embezzle public funds.”

Once the investigation of Jordan Norris began, many clues and evidence emerged continuously. According to the clues provided by the prosecutor’s office, the fund embezzlement case of the Foundation under the name of Mayor James began just a month ago, and many things are self-explanatory.

In Ling Xiao’s view, this is normal. After all, it is necessary to run for president. It is inevitable when someone is hacked to attack. So before announcing to participate in the election, you must All the problems are dealt with well, even people who also take this as a career.

So it’s such an obvious thing to embezzle millions of funds. After announcing the election, Mayor James is unlikely to do it. Of course, he has to do it in an emergency, but it seems that , He was really framed.

“Mayor believes in you, but you betrayed him.” Richard’s clenched fist, wishing to smash Jordan Norris’s head with a fist, he said with a ferocious face: “Go ahead, Jordan, what conditions did they give you, and what did they promise you?”

“I thought it was just a matter of money!” All kinds of hard evidence and Beckett and Richard exert all kinds of pressure Jordan Norris’s psychological defense finally collapsed. He said in a panic: “I, I don’t know, I don’t know they tried to destroy him.”

As soon as Norris said this, all Everyone can’t help sigh in relief, and the truth of the matter is finally figured out. Didn’t expect a political turmoil to evolve to this point. Only Ling Xiao noticed a trace of loss in Beckett’s eyes. She understood that this time she couldn’t help Mayor James.

“Jordan, Laura’s landlord has identified it just now. You went to her apartment the night Laura was killed.” Beckett said quietly.

“I didn’t kill her, I just stayed for 20 minutes and left.” Jordan said hastily, knowing that the accusations of framing and murder are far from each other.

Beckett sneered, said: “You don’t have to do it yourself. After you confirm that Laura has discovered the truth, all you have to do is make a call, then Jordan, who did you call?”
