Chapter 555 Calculation

Luke asked, "What do you think of Cam Smith?"

Lydia Cooney sighed, "People are complicated.

He is cheerful, enthusiastic, and somewhat idealistic.

He is very serious at work and has put a lot of effort into developing new antihypertensive drugs. He is a good colleague."

Luke heard the implication, "I heard you were dating?"

Lydia Cooney pursed her lips and nodded, "Yes."

"Why did you break up?"

Lydia Cooney showed a hint of self-mockery, "This question should be a personal privacy, can I not answer it?"

Luke did not answer directly, "According to Cam Smith, it's because of your daughter?"

"What? My daughter." Lydia Cooney looked strange.

"Yes, he said that the two of you had a good relationship, but your daughter didn't like him, which led to your breakup."

"Lies.

He lied." Lydia Cooney said with some annoyance, "I can't believe that he would put the blame for the breakup on my daughter. This man is really disgusting. Perhaps, I have never seen through him."

Xiao Hei ignited his gossip heart, "Then what is the real reason for your breakup?"

"He cheated."

"Who is his cheating partner?"

Lydia Cooney shook her head, "I haven't seen him. I just saw his chat records. The woman's chat account is Elvira."

"When did you find out that he cheated?"

Lydia Cooney sighed and recalled, "It should be mid-April. I saw his chat records. We had a big fight and he didn't admit that he cheated.

Lie that the other party was just an ordinary netizen.

I lied again Not a fool, their chat was very explicit, it was impossible for them to be ordinary netizens, and that was only the chat record of the day, and the previous records were deleted.

Then, we broke up.

He is a liar, I am very glad that I broke up with him in advance. ”

Luke wrote down the time and continued to ask, "Has Kem Smith always lived in the company dormitory?"

"No."

"He has his own house, which takes about 40 minutes to drive. Maybe to save time, he applied for a dormitory in the company in May and occasionally lived in the dormitory.

I am not very clear about the specific situation, after all, we have broken up. ”

Luke asked, "Does Kem Smith have any bad hobbies?"

"No, he is a relatively boring person. Now think about it, I don't know why I was with him in the first place.

I feel like a big fool. ” Lydia Cooney wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Jenny handed over a few tissues, "Hey, be strong, even if it's for your daughter."

"You're right, I only have my daughter now, please save her."

"We will try our best, but we also need your help."

"I will, just tell me if there is anything I can do."

Luke took out a photo of the murdered drug tester Rochelle Horn, "Do you know him?"

"Looks a little familiar..."

Luke reminded, "He was a drug tester at Kalman Pharmaceuticals."

"I remember, he was a drug tester for the new antihypertensive drug.

Any questions?"

"He's dead now!"

Lydia Cooney slapped her forehead, "Oh my God, this is terrible.

We develop new antihypertensive drugs to benefit all mankind, why do some people do everything they can to obstruct research and development.

Compared with these events, the people behind the scenes are the most terrible.

No, they have no humanity at all, they are the ones who really deserve to die."

"Have you seen Rochelle Horn anywhere else?"

"No."

"Has the suspect Walda Baker mentioned Rochelle Horn?"

"No.

I swear, Rochelle Horn's death had nothing to do with me. "

“OK, let’s talk about your daughter again.

Describe how your daughter was kidnapped in as much detail as possible. "

Lydia Cooney took a deep breath and her lips trembled slightly, "I was on vacation that day. In the afternoon, I took my daughter to the mall and bought her some new clothes and a new Barbie doll. She had wanted to do it for a long time. wanted.

She was very happy that day and smiled all the time. I still remember her smile...

We had a buffet together in the evening, which was originally a beautiful day, and then..." Lydia Cooney started crying again. It took a while to stop crying and continued, "I drove home and stopped. After getting the car, I opened the door with my newly bought things.

When I was about to turn on the light, two hooded figures appeared next to me. One of them hugged me and covered my mouth and nose with a towel.

My daughter was also controlled by another one. I wanted to shout but couldn't.

I wanted to save my daughter, but I didn’t have the strength, and then I lost consciousness, wuwu..."

Lydia Cooney covered her face and cried bitterly. This memory was like a second injury to her.

Jenny patted her shoulder and comforted her softly, "I believe you and your daughter will be reunited. God will bless her."

"You are right, my daughter is so cute, God will never let anything happen to her." Lydia Cooney seemed to be answering Jenny, but also seemed to be cheering herself up. She took a deep breath and continued, " When I woke up, my hands and feet were tied, Walda Baker was sitting next to me, staring at me, and my daughter was gone.

I asked him, where is my daughter?

He replied, my daughter was taken away by his accomplices, and if I want to save my daughter, I must listen to him.

I immediately agreed to him and told him that as long as my daughter was sent back safely, I could do anything and I would be willing to take out all the money and give it to them.

But what he wanted was not money, but asking me to help him get into Kalman Pharmaceuticals and help him burn down the laboratories and materials used to develop new antihypertensive drugs.

This is a very painful choice. New antihypertensive drugs are my research effort and I have invested a lot of energy in them. I have always looked forward to their early release so that they can benefit all mankind.

I really don't want to ruin it myself.

He is like another child of mine...

But I had no choice. They threatened me with my daughter, so I could only agree to them. "

"Why didn't you call the police?"

"Walda Baker kept looking at me. I had no chance to call the police. And he kept threatening my daughter. If I didn't cooperate, if I tried to call the police, I would never see my daughter again."

"When was the last time you saw Walda Baker?"

"We separated on the night of July 11th after Walda Baker set a fire at Cullman Pharmaceuticals.

He asked me to go home and wait, saying that he would send my daughter back soon. "

"Tell me the time and place of separation and the direction of his escape?"

Lydia Cooney recalled for a moment, “After we left the company, we walked eastward, and at the third intersection he turned into Manlv Street.

It must have been almost twelve o'clock. "

Luke checked the map. The car left the Kalman Pharmaceutical Company and entered Mervey Street. In this direction, he could return to the apartment where Walda Baker lived. The time was also consistent. Lydia Cooney's confession was basically correct. On.

"How are you connected to Walda Baker?"

“He gave me a prepaid mobile phone and said he would contact me if anything happened.

But the phone never rang. "

Luke asked, "Where's the phone?"

"It's under the sofa in the living room."

Xiao Hei walked to the living room, took out a prepaid mobile phone from under the sofa and handed it to Luke.

Luke looked at it. Prepaid mobile phones like this were difficult to trace. "Contact the technical team and ask them to rush to the scene with monitoring equipment."

Luke looked at Lydia Cooney again, "What's your daughter's name?"

"Milia Cooney."

"Raymon, take people to collect surveillance from surrounding communities and check for suspicious vehicles during the time when Milia Cooney was kidnapped."

"Okay Captain."

Lydia Cooney looked at Luke, "Sir, are you sure you can save my daughter?"

Luke comforted, "Ms. Cooney, I can understand your feelings, but we have just taken over the case and we still need some time to investigate.

If you think of any clues, I hope you can tell us in time. "

"I will."

Then, Luke called Xiao Hei aside and ordered, "Marcus, you are responsible for investigating Cam Smith, the drug test director of Kalman Company. This guy may have problems."

"Do you want to find a reason to arrest him?"

"It's not necessary for now. Let's observe and follow him secretly. I want to know what this guy is up to."

"Understood."

…

The murder of Rohel Horn, the arson at Kalman Pharmaceuticals, the kidnapping of Miria Cooney.

All three cases are related to Walda Baker.

Judging from the time of the incident, it should be the afternoon of July 10, when Rohel Horn was killed.

On the night of July 10, Milia Cooney was kidnapped.

On the night of July 11, the Kalman Pharmaceuticals building was set on fire.

Walda Beck then absconded.

The purpose of these three cases was to undermine and prevent the development of new antihypertensive drugs.

Luke had previously asked Fred Kramer, Kalman's head of R&D, who would benefit if the new antihypertensive drug was successfully developed.

At that time, Fred Kramer named Gelson Pharmaceuticals because Gelson Pharmaceuticals' antihypertensive drugs had a high market share.

This made Luke a little suspicious of Gelson Pharmaceutical Company, and he considered whether he should go to Gelson Pharmaceutical Company to investigate again.

But I couldn't think of a good reason for the investigation at the moment. The legal department of such a large pharmaceutical company is very powerful and it is a large taxpayer. It cannot be investigated based on mere speculation and suspicion without evidence.

When it comes to Luke's position, we should also pay attention to some effects.

"Jingle Bell……"

Luke's cell phone rang.

He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. What was displayed on the screen was the mobile phone number of CBS TV station intern reporter Nami Inoue.

"Hi, beauty, do you want to see me?"

"Captain Li, do you have time tonight? Let's have a drink together."

"Of course, I'm always available for invitations from beauties." Luke responded with a smile.

Last time, Luke and Inoue Nami cooperated relatively smoothly. Since then, the other party has not taken the initiative to contact him. Based on Luke's understanding of this woman, the other party should not simply ask him to drink. There is a high probability that there is something else.

Inoue Nami suggested, "How about we meet at the Milos bar last time?"

Luke glanced at his watch and said, "I will be busy today, so I will most likely not have time to drink.

Let’s make an appointment at the Japanese restaurant last time. Let’s eat and talk at the same time. "

"Okay, see you tonight."

…

Evening, 6:55.

Flowers, trees and birds Teppanyaki.

This Japanese restaurant was introduced by Inoue Nami. The two of them made an appointment in a private room on the second floor. It was relatively quiet and more suitable for conversation.

When Luke rushed to the private room, Inoue Nami hadn't arrived yet.

Luke had a busy day and only had a burger for lunch. He was already starving. He took the waiter's order and started ordering.

Wagyu beef, oysters, and sausage are must-orders. I had them last time and they were delicious. Luke ordered a few new dishes.

I’ve heard of grilled lanterns for a long time, and this dish is also very unique, but after thinking about it, Luke still felt it was a bit strange and probably wouldn’t be delicious, so he didn’t order it.

As soon as Luke finished ordering, Inoue Nami walked into the private room and said, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

"The time is just right. I just finished ordering. Let's see what you want to order."

Nami Inoue took the menu and ordered a seafood miso soup. Then, the waiter closed the door and left.

Luke poured a cup of oolong tea for Nami Inoue, "Ms. Inoue, why did you come to see me today?"

"Captain Li, our news department received a report today about Kalman Pharmaceuticals." Nami Inoue paused for a moment, glanced at Luke, and continued, without seeing any unusual look on the other person's face.

“According to the complaint letter, Kalman Pharmaceuticals was conducting illegal human experiments under the guise of developing new drugs, but this experiment failed.

Many people who participated in experiments and drug trials suffered adverse physical reactions. In order to escape responsibility, Kalman Pharmaceuticals destroyed all experimental data.

Even he himself was threatened by Kalman Pharmaceuticals. "

Luke asked, "Who was the whistleblower?"

"Rohel Horn." Inoue Nami took a sip of oolong tea and put down the cup. "After we received the report, we realized that this was probably a big news, and then investigated the situation of the reporter...

As a result, we discovered that Rohel Horne had died on July 10th, and that his case was being investigated by the Robbery and Murder Division. "

Luke touched the stubble on his chin, "If Rohel Horn suspected that Kalman Pharmaceuticals was conducting illegal human experiments, why didn't he call the police?"

Inoue Nami hesitated, glanced around, and whispered, "He said in the report letter that he did not believe the police and felt that the police had been bribed by Kalman Pharmaceuticals.

That's why he asked the news media to expose him, and said he hoped his identity could be kept confidential, otherwise, he would likely suffer retaliation from Kalman Pharmaceuticals. "

Luke didn't show it on his face, but he was already cursing in his heart.

These bastards even plotted against the police.

Kalman Pharmaceuticals does intend to make a legitimate charitable donation to the police.

No matter who is behind the scenes, Luke will have to settle the account after he finds out.
