Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

"As you wish," Black shrugged, keeping to himself as he continued reading.

Luke also picked up some documents from the table and started flipping through them.

The materials spanned a wide range, covering the sixty-year development history of the Coffey company and family from its founding in 1960 to the present. It mainly recorded how Burnett Coffey and his son led the family and company to grow progressively, while also detailing the impact of societal changes on the culture, economy, and politics of Los Angeles.

Luke felt these materials seemed somewhat pretentious and insubstantial, and he remained skeptical about the truthfulness and perspective of certain events.

"Damn, the writer of this documentary is a total jerk, completely twisting the facts," Black cursed as he tossed the script onto the table.

Luke asked, "Is there a problem?"

Black picked up the script to search, "Here.

This script deliberately vilifies others to glamorize the Coffey family, there's no truth to it at all."

Luke picked up the script, choosing not to look directly at the page Black was pointing to, instead starting from the first page.

The documentary began in 1954 when the founder of the Coffey Group, Burnett Coffey, was still a young man in his twenties. Due to conflicts with his parents, he left home.

Afterward, he met his wife, who supported and encouraged him to start his first business venture, which unfortunately didn't succeed.

However, his efforts gained his family's approval, and with their support, he embarked on a second entrepreneurial journey, founding the Coffey company.

Burnett Coffey married his wife, and not long after, they had their first son, Gallian Coffey.

Under Burnett Coffey's management, the Coffey company gradually grew to become a well-known enterprise in Los Angeles.

In the documentary, members of the Coffey family were portrayed as unquestionably positive figures, each family member being loving and striving, and for the sake of story completeness, some supporting characters were inevitably added, most of whom were depicted negatively.

For example, there was an African American female secretary of Burnett Coffey, who, due to poverty, received care from Burnett Coffey. However, she misinterpreted this kindness, developed feelings for him, and made advances, but Burnett Coffey deeply loved his wife and was unmoved.

Unwilling to give up, the African American secretary tried various tactics to seduce Burnett Coffey, but not only did he resist the temptation, he also informed his wife and transferred the secretary from her position.

The humiliated African American secretary angrily left the Coffey company.

A normal person might laugh off this plot, but Luke immediately linked it to Michael Kamara's sister.

Michael Kamara's sister was likely the prototype for this African American secretary. She was only thirty-two when she died, and Burnett Coffey was killed with a crossbow arrow while paying respects to her.

According to Michael Kamara's wife, Michael Kamara's sister indeed had an inappropriate relationship with Burnett Coffey, but she was forced into it by him, and she had no choice but to accept it to support her family.

Later, because Burnett Coffey's wife discovered their relationship, she drove Michael Kamara's sister out of the company, publicly defaming her.

This incident indirectly led to Michael Kamara's sister's suicide.

Luke put down the script and said, "Different people describing the same event will always have different perspectives and conclusions."

Black said, "Right, if Michael Kamara saw this script, he'd definitely be furious enough to jump out of his wheelchair.

The man indirectly responsible for his sister's death turns out to be a gentleman, while his sister is portrayed as a home-wrecking villain.

Even I feel incredibly angry and can't accept it."

Luke said, "If even you can't accept it, wouldn't Michael Kamara's family be even more outraged?"

Black pondered, "So, you still suspect Michael Kamara as the murderer, but he has a stroke and even walking is a problem."

Luke said, "Whether or not Michael Kamara is the murderer is still uncertain.

Assuming, the murderer killed Burnett Coffey thirty-nine years ago because of Michael Kamara's sister's death.

Thirty-nine years later, Gallian Coffey intends to film a family documentary that once again defames Michael Kamara's sister, enraging the murderer.

The murderer thus has a reason to kill again after thirty-nine years."

Listening intently, Black frowned and said, "Wait, I need to interrupt you.

Although Burnett and Gallian Coffey are father and son, no other common clues have been found between the two cases.

On the contrary, fingerprints found at the scene of Gallian Coffey's murder match those of a suspect from the Silver Cross case forty years ago, suggesting these two cases are more likely to have the same perpetrator based on the evidence.

Honestly, placing these three cases together leaves me a bit puzzled..."

Luke stood up and walked a few steps, "Let me tell you a story.

Forty years ago, a young African American and a young Chinese man met at a mutual support group...

Black interjected, "What kind of support group?"

Luke gestured for Black not to interrupt, "I don't know either, perhaps for alcohol, insomnia, depression, etc. Those details don't matter; what matters is that they met.

Both young men were in extreme pain from the loss of relatives, giving them a shared topic and a chance to share their experiences.
