This sudden report letter has made the case even more complicated, giving Luke more issues to consider.
He pondered for a long ti before asking, "How was the letter mailed to your TV station?"
"It was delivered through Parcel courier company. We investigated at the courier company, and according to the courier, indeed it was sent by Rochelle Horn himself, with his ID photo.
The sending ti was the morning of July 10, and the sending location was in the Tarip Community. The parcel arrived on the morning of July 13."
Luke's first impression was that the courier was too slow.
But thinking that the sender chose Parcel courier company, he felt it was within a reasonable range.
This courier company is indeed relatively slow, suitable for non-urgent or heavy goods, with charges based on weight and distance.
Now, Luke faces many challenges. First, he must confirm whether the letter was indeed mailed and written by Rochelle Horn himself, and secondly, verify if the contents of the letter are true.
If the content of the letter is true and Kerman Pharmaceutical Company is conducting illegal human experints, and after the experint failed, to avoid being exposed, committed murder and arson to destroy evidence, then these three cases were most likely orchestrated by Kerman Pharmaceutical Company themselves.
If the content of the letter is false, once the dia publishes the contents, it will undoubtedly cause a very negative impact on Kerman Pharmaceutical Company, potentially halting new drug developnt. Even if it can be launched, it might face public resistance.
At this mont, whoever can benefit might be the mastermind behind the scenes.
Luke asked, "Where is the report letter now?"
"In the hands of our newly appointed news departnt director."
"When is he planning to release the news?"
"It could be any ti."
"I understand. After your TV station releases the news, I will send soone to your news departnt to investigate the report letter."
This matter was secretly inford to Luke by Nami Inoue. If Luke sends people to CBS TV station to investigate the report letter now, it might expose Nami Inoue, affecting their future cooperation.
From Nami Inoue, it's clear that several people, mainly journalists at the TV station, are aware of the contents of this report letter. Even if Luke rushes to the TV station, he cannot stop them from broadcasting the contents.
"Thank you." Nami Inoue knew Luke was indirectly protecting her and asked, "Captain Li, do you think the content of the letter is true?"
"Based on my understanding of this case, the likelihood of it being true is low, at least partially false." Luke couldn't determine whether Kerman Pharmaceutical Company has issues, but the police are definitely not bought by Kerman Pharmaceutical Company, and he would never admit to that.
As for charitable donations, they are all legal and legitimate.
Nami Inoue showed a look of expectation, "Captain Li, can you reveal so information about the case to ?"
Luke thought for a mont and didn't refuse. Information sharing is mutual. Nami Inoue is not a saint; she can't keep providing information unilaterally.
He then told Nami Inoue so clues that wouldn't involve the core of the case, which could be investigated over ti, such as deceased Rochelle Horn's identity information, family situation, gambling, and debts to loan sharks.
Additionally, Luke asked Nami Inoue to help investigate which forces would benefit the most if Kerman Pharmaceutical Company's new drug developnt failed and the company's reputation was tarnished.
Journalists also have their investigation channels and might provide Luke with so valuable leads.
...
"Ring ring ring..."
At two in the morning, Luke was awakened by a burst of phone ringing.
"Fuck!"
Luke muttered under his breath, found his cellphone by the pillow, and pressed the answer button, "Hello, this is Luke."
"Captain Li, I'm the drug testing supervisor at Kerman Pharmaceutical Company, Kem Smith."
Hearing this na, Luke seed surprised, and asked, "Supervisor Smith, do you need sothing this late?"
"My... My girlfriend is missing."
"Missing?"
"Yes."
"When?"
"I called her this afternoon but couldn't reach her. When I got ho at night, she was not there.
I feel... Sothing might have happened to her."
"Did you call the police?"
"No, compared to regular patrol officers, I have more faith in you.
I hope you can help find her."
Luke asked back, "What's your girlfriend's na?"
"Ivella Gandhi."
"Send your address and I'll head over as soon as possible."
"Thank you, thank you so much."
Luke hung up the phone. The news was sowhat sudden but also possibly a breakthrough in the case.
Yesterday afternoon, after talking with Lydia Kuni, Luke had already suspected Kem Smith because he ambiguously lied when talking about the night of the fire.
Luke had thought about speaking with him, but the problem was, Luke didn't know what to discuss?
Even though Kem Smith wasn't truthful about the arson case, the problem was he had no relation to the arson case, nor was there any evidence linking him to Rochelle Horn's murder case. Without evidence, even if Luke questioned him, he wouldn't speak truthfully.
Thus, Luke simply asked a contact to investigate him under the radar.
Regarding Ivella Gandhi, the woman Kem Smith ntioned as missing, Luke also had so speculations.
According to Lydia Kuni's description, the reason she broke up with Kem Smith back then was because Kem Smith had an affair with a woman nad Ivella. This missing Ivella Gandhi is likely the third party from back then.
