He let me go, and I also...

So neither of us went."

Jackson showed a look of contempt, "You dare to kidnap a girl, but you don't dare to pick up the ransom?"

Raul Jiputa said, "One situation involves confronting a powerless girl, the other involves confronting a group of heavily armed police, the difficulty of the two is completely different; anyone would have reservations."

"Why did you film obscene videos?"

"At first it was to keep a souvenir, later... we just wanted to make some money with these videos.

You should know, there are a lot of thrill-seekers on the dark web who like girls' obscene videos, and there are quite a few potential customers, and the dark web caters to the whole world.

This business has great potential, and designing a simple video website is easy for me, so we did it."

"How did you meet Franco Ture?"

"We met through the dark web, and we usually use the dark web to communicate, which is much safer than phones and common chat tools."

Luke took a note in his notebook and continued to ask, "Why did you kidnap Meili Gandhi?"

"For the videos.

The website members like novelty, we had videos of African and Caucasian girls, and we were missing an Indian girl, so I chose her."

"Is she your boss's daughter?"

"Yes."

"Why did you choose her?"

Raul Jiputa chuckled coldly, "Only her father is to be blamed for that."

"What's your grudge against Meili Gandhi's father?"

"You know? I've been at that company for five years, but ever since I became a permanent staff, I haven't had a chance for promotion.

Pex, the guy whose name I used, has only been at the company for a little over two years. I trained him when he joined, and now he's become my boss.

It's because Meili Gandhi's father gave Pex the promotion opportunities that should have been mine.

It's unfair."

Luke asked, "Why did Meili Gandhi's father do this? Was there a problem with your work?"

"No, I'm one of the best techs in the company, Pex is nothing compared to me, his skills are far inferior to mine.

In the last project, I did most of the work, but then, Meili Gandhi's father promoted Pex instead.

What would you think if you were in my shoes?"

Luke countered, "So, you think Meili Gandhi's father is targeting you?"

"Exactly, it's because Pex is a Kshatriya, and I'm just a Baisya, so all my efforts and merits are overlooked. His standard for promotion is caste, caste, caste."

Raul Jiputa showed an angry expression,

"I came to this country for freedom, to escape the damned caste system, but damn it, this system is being applied to me again.

I can't accept it, I must fight back."

Jackson said, "Your idea of fighting back is right, the system is indeed unfair, but you shouldn't vent your anger on a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

This only proves your cowardice."

Raul Jiputa shook his head, "You are wrong, she's not just a girl, she's also a noble Brahmin, born to ride on my head, I am not wrong."

"So you did such a cruel thing to a girl?" Jackson asked himself,

"Your words are nauseating.

In my view, you don't hate the system, you just hate that you weren't born in a Brahmin family instead of a Baisya family.

If you were born a Brahmin, you would only oppress others even more.

You truly don't deserve any sympathy."

Raul Jiputa shook his head, "You're not Indian, you wouldn't understand."

Jackson said, "Such a perverted cultural product, I don't even want to understand."

Luke moved to another topic, "Tell me about the third victim, Tayana Haney."

Raul Jiputa thought for a moment, "She's a girl obsessed with sci-fi stories, foolishly adorable.

She was deceived by Franco Ture, I just played poker with her in simplicity."

Raul Jiputa added, "Speaking of Franco Ture, he's a real sicko; this guy has completely deceived Tayana Haney's family, both of her parents are his lovers.

I'm even a bit impressed by his methods."

Luke pressed, "What more do you know about Franco Ture?"

Raul Jiputa looked curious, "Is he dead?"

The police had not publicly released Franco Ture's death news, and Luke had strictly forbidden Raul Jiputa from knowing about it; he shouldn't be aware.

Feigning ignorance, Luke asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"That guy always said no one could judge him, he'd rather die than confess.

He also said that the only thing the police would take away would be his dead body." Raul Jiputa countered, "Is he dead?"

Luke still did not want him to know about Franco Ture's death, dismissively replied, "Do you expect someone who doesn't even dare to take ransom to have the courage to kill himself?"

Raul Jiputa sneered, "Figures, he chickened out at the crucial moment."

Luke asked, "Besides these three girls, have you kidnapped any other girls?"

"No."

"Did the photographer Soba Doyle participate in the kidnapping?"

"No, but he was informed and took a lot of money from me."

"If the police hadn't caught you, would you have committed the crime again?"

Raul Jiputa hesitated, then said seriously, "I don't know, maybe."

...

The interrogation concluded.

Luke had also grasped the detailed situation of the case.

After returning to the office, he found Meili Gandhi's father waiting in the office.

Meili Gandhi's father, Arab Gandhi, came forward, showing gratitude, "Captain Luke, thank you for saving my daughter. I never thought I would see her again.

Thank you."

Luke expressed his concern, "How is your daughter's health?"

Arab Gandhi sighed, "Her body is fine, but she's been frightened... she's been through a lot that she shouldn't have at her age...

She's traumatized.

Why did those bastards kidnap her and do such cruel things to her.

I heard that Raul Jiputa is also a suspect, we're colleagues, why would he hurt my daughter?"

Luke explained, "He felt that he had worked hard at his job, but you valued background, so you promoted Pex, who is clearly less capable than him."

"What? He did it for that reason!

What a shameless bastard." Arab Gandhi said angrily, "I didn't promote him not because of background, but because he wasn't suitable.

I admit his skills are better than Pex's, but management looks for more than just skills, it looks for overall ability.

For example, communication skills, Raul Jiputa is very introverted, he never initiates conversation with me and he reports work with his head down, unable to make eye contact.

He's only a specialist, not fit for Los Angeles' workplace."

Luke didn't elaborate further; everyone had their perspective, and it was hard to judge when each held their views firmly.

Luke had no interest in delving further into it.

After seeing Arab Gandhi off, Luke went to Reid's office to report on the case.

"Knock-knock."

"Come in."

Luke entered, placing a document on the desk, "Chief, this is the confession of suspect Raul Jiputa. He has confessed."

"Well done!"

Reid leaned back in his chair and gestured for Luke to sit down, "This case has been around for a long time and was difficult to investigate.

Unit two also stumbled on this case; to be truthful, I was a bit worried...

It turns out, you are better than I imagined, and my worries were unnecessary."

Luke said, "The successful resolution of this case could not have happened without the efforts of every team member, especially Marcus and Jackson, who were outstanding."

Reid suggested, "Since they both distinguished themselves.

You should treat them to a drink tonight."

Luke countered, "Why should I be the one to treat?"

Reid laughed, pulling a document from a drawer, "Captain Luke, this is your official appointment letter.

Congratulations."
