Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 390: Club, Suicide for Fear of Crime

The SUV sped through the streets of Southern Los Angeles, and Mona's fingers momentarily tapped on the laptop, her brows slightly furrowed:

"Looking at the basic information of Heks and Taylor Davis... I didn't find any connection."

"Then let's not look into that for now."

Turning the steering wheel to enter another road, Luo An handed Mona a bottle of water with a smile, saying:

"We're about to reach that club soon, let's first talk with Heks.

I believe he will choose to cooperate with us like Obaid did, and tell us who bought those bullets from him."

"Maybe."

Mona casually replied to Luo An, her attention still fixed on the laptop in front of her. Since there was no clue about Heks himself, Mona shifted her focus to the members and guests inside the gun club.

Three minutes later, the SUV successfully arrived at the entrance of the club.

By this time, it was already afternoon, and neither Luo An nor Mona had eaten lunch. After alighting from the vehicle, they first went to a nearby fast food restaurant, bought some burgers and cola and filled themselves before entering the club premises.

Bang bang bang—

As soon as they entered the lobby, Luo An and Mona heard a series of muffled gunshots emanating from the depths of the club, followed by some women's cheers and men's teasing laughter.

Luo An looked around; the club's decor was rather outdoorsy, giving off a jungle-like feel, with plenty of places to rest and some food and juice on the side, but no alcohol.

"A very interesting club."

Squeezing the fluffy plush toys on the chairs and countertops, Luo An looked at Mona's glistening eyes, his lips curling into a slight grin.

The club's owner was an intriguing person, evidently targeting female customers, as revealed by details throughout the place.

Compared to men, women had historically less connection with firearms, but with the rise of feminism in recent years, the link between women and guns has been slowly growing.

As the number of female clients in the club increased, how could male clients be fewer? The playful exchanges between men and women deep in the club evidenced this.

"Hello."

Seeing Luo An and Mona pushing the door open, a very young girl immediately came up to them asking if they needed any help, then proceeded to try to introduce the content of their club.

"FBI."

Luo An chuckled, pulling out a gold badge and interrupting her:

"I'm looking for your club's owner, Heks."

Seeing the gold badge, the waitress paused for a moment:

"...Okay, please wait here for a moment, I'll go find the boss."

The waitress intended to take Luo An and Mona to the nearby resting area to sit, but Luo An waved his hand declining:

"No need, we'll go with you."

"...OK."

The expression on the waitress's face changed slightly, but she didn't say anything more, immediately turned around, and lead Luo An and Mona upstairs.

She was just a salary earner, earning so little in a month; what did her boss's issues with the FBI have to do with her?

Luo An admired the waitress with a glance, and followed her upstairs with Mona, then noticed there were several lounges on the second floor, decorated cozily with sofas, blankets, and curtains.

Luo An and Mona exchanged glances; they had seen that style of sofa before in a store, and if they remembered correctly, when you lift the seat and pull it out, the sofa could turn into a bed.

"..."

Thinking of those men and women downstairs, a hint of disdain flashed in Mona's eyes, while Luo An's lips stretched into a grin, growing increasingly interested in Heks.

Soon, they were led deeper into the second floor, the waitress walked up to an office door and knocked hard:

"Boss! Someone is looking for you!"

Bang bang bang——

Several knocks were made, but no one in the room responded. The waitress cursed under her breath, looked back at Luo An and Reesi, and whispered:

"Sometimes the boss brings some female friends he knows over for visits, maybe he…"

"You go to the back first."

Before the waitress could finish, Luo An pulled her behind Mona, and took out a Glock 18 from his waist.

This time, Luo An didn't smell blood, but the waitress had told the two earlier that the boss had been in his office resting since noon, and hadn't come down since which was over two hours ago.

Mona pulled the waitress back a few steps, and Luo An tried to pull the office door from the outside but couldn't, so without hesitation, he lifted his foot and kicked the office door fiercely.

Bang—

The office door was instantly kicked open by Luo An, and Luo An and Reesi immediately rushed into the office with their guns ready.

The office was large, with a layout of desks and chairs, and a small room in the corner.

Luo An quickly checked the small room, found no one, and immediately returned to the main office space.

At that moment, hanging from the center of the office ceiling was a corpulent middle-aged Caucasian corpse, with a collapsed chair under its feet.

Despite the grotesque expression on the corpse's face, Luo An and Mona recognized the identity of the person, which was their target for this visit: Heks.

Taking away the screaming waitress, Mona took out her cell phone and called the trace evidence department to ask them to come to the scene and deal with the body.

After finishing the call, Reesi turned back to find Luo An standing in front of the desk, looking down at something. He walked over and followed Luo An's gaze to find a letter.

Calling it a letter was a bit imprecise; it was more like a confession note, stating that he was the murderer who killed Judge Taylor Davis. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

The reason for the murder was that when Taylor Davis became a judge and was still working in the prosecutor's office, he helped the murderer construct a false testimony in a case involving Heks's sister's daughter.

This led to the murderer escaping, and the sister, along with her daughter, committed arson-suicide, dying in their own house.

In Los Angeles, the houses of ordinary people are mostly made of wood, and fire spreads very quickly. By the time Heks found out, it was already too late.

After learning that Taylor Davis was not only unpunished for this case but was promoted to a judge, Heks said he couldn't bear it any longer and decided to kill him in his own way.

"..."

After reading the contents of the paper, Mona's expression immediately darkened.

Judging from the handwriting alone, the script on this paper matched exactly the handwriting in Heks's previous documents; without technical examination, one could almost confirm that Heks himself wrote this letter.

Moreover, the handwriting wasn't sloppy, conveying a sense of unrepentant confession, as if a great vendetta had been fulfilled.

Mona also closely examined the body next to them and found no signs that Heks had been killed and then hanged.

It seemed like Heks indeed climbed onto the chair and committed suicide out of guilt, with everything appearing normal.

But...

"It's too fake, just too fake."

Mona shook her head continuously and noticed a mobile phone that had fallen to the ground. She quickly put on gloves, picked it up, and gestured to head outside:

"Luo An, I'm going to check Heks's last call records; maybe I can find out who forced Heks to commit suicide."

"No need."

"Hm?"

Hearing this, Mona stopped in her tracks, full of confusion, and turned back to find Luo An standing in front of the office window looking at the scenery outside.

Luo An was silent for a moment before turning around with a chuckle and said:

"The person who forced Heks to commit suicide didn't use a phone; he was right here at that time."

Mona: "?!"
