The suspected murderer, Williams Klein, died in prison before the two car accidents occurred.
The real suspect is soone else.
Luke re-evaluated the relationships of the three people involved in the case.
There is no direct connection between the two car accident victims, Grace Dore and Ossie Perkins, but they both held grudges against Williams Klein.
Grace Dore was originally Williams Klein's girlfriend, but she cheated and abandoned him.
Williams Klein was involved in a car accident while driving drunk, and the officer who arrested him was Ossie Perkins.
After serving a year, Williams Klein died in prison.
Luke speculates that the suspect is closely related to Williams Klein, and that the murder of Grace Dore and Ossie Perkins was likely revenge for Williams Klein.
According to police records, Williams Klein has only one direct relative left, his father, Heller Klein.
The next morning.
Squad One divided into two teams, with the deputy leading a team to talk to Heller Klein.
Luke went to investigate the Klein Car Dealership, which Williams Klein managed before his incarceration.
Klein Car Dealership is on the south side of Tasim Street, a bit secluded, but it has been in business for twenty years with a good reputation and flourishing business.
Luke arrived at Klein Car Dealership with his team; several n in oil-stained gray uniforms were repairing cars.
Luke scanned his surroundings.
A middle-aged white man approached and looked at the two cars parked at the entrance, "Sir, is there a problem with your cars?"
"No, we're not here for repairs." Luke showed his badge, "LAPD."
The white man shrugged, "Sir, our dealership only handles car repairs, nothing else."
"Are you the owner of the dealership?"
"Yes, my na is Quik Hendry."
Quik Hendry intertwined his fingers, "Can I help you with anything?"
"Mr. Quik Hendry, don't be nervous.
We want information on two people," Luke asked, "Do you know Williams Klein?"
"Yes, he was a good friend and a good boss." Quik Hendry sighed, "I always regretted his departure."
Luke asked, "Do you know about his arrest for drunk driving?"
Quik Hendry took a deep breath and recalled, "I know a bit.
He had just broken up with his girlfriend. To be precise, that bitch cheated on him, and her affair was with one of our employees.
Williams nearly went mad when he learned about this.
He was constantly drinking; his car crash was caused by those two bastards.
Thinking about it makes angry."
"Last year, Williams Klein died in prison; do you know about that?"
"Yes, his father ntioned it to .
After being incarcerated, he struggled to adapt to prison life and was very upset.
I suspect he might have developed depression.
Later, he sohow learned that his ex-girlfriend had married Marico Marquis.
His emotions completely collapsed... he hanged himself in his cell."
"Does Williams Klein's father, Heller Klein, know about this?"
"Of course, he told while we were drinking together.
He's devastated...
If possible, he would prefer to take his son's place in prison or even death.
But the world doesn't work like that."
Luke probed, "Can Mr. Heller Klein repair cars?"
"Of course, he founded this dealership, and his repair skills are top-notch.
In recent years, he handed the business over to Williams."
"Has he been here recently?"
"No.
Williams's death significantly affected him; it shattered his spirit, leaving him no inclination or energy to manage the dealership.
So he sold it to for a low price."
"Do you know where I can find him?"
"Frankly, we haven't been in touch for a while." Quik Hendry shook his head slightly, "Why are you inquiring about Heller?"
"We're investigating a case and want to ask him about so things."
"I really don't know where he is."
Luke nodded and his gaze fell on the dealership's sign, "Mr. Quik Hendry, the dealership is yours now, why haven't you changed the na?"
Quik Hendry looked at the sign, speaking slowly, "I've worked here for over ten years and have feelings for it.
Heller Klein transferred the dealership to for a low price because he appreciated my skills and feelings for the dealership.
I can't think of a reason to change the na.
It doesn't need to be changed."
Luke left the Klein Car Dealership; although he didn't find Heller Klein, he learned more about Heller Klein.
Heller Klein had deep feelings for his son; Williams Klein's death greatly impacted him, and Heller Klein was highly skilled at car repairs.
These clues further increased Heller Klein's suspicion.
...
Robbery and Murder Departnt.
Luke returned to Squad One's office and reported the information they retrieved at the dealership.
The deputy continued, "We went to Heller Klein's house, knocked on the door, but nobody answered.
I called Heller Klein's phone, and nobody picked up.
According to the neighbors, Heller Klein lives alone, and his health isn't good. He hasn't been seen in the last few days.
The neighbors are also concerned about his safety.
Considering Heller Klein might be in danger, we entered the house to investigate." The deputy stood and walked to the projector, displaying several photos, "These were taken in the study on the second floor.
