Chapter 145 Confession (Large Chapter) (1821)
Following Bowen's description, Luke was restoring the scene in his mind.
After the gunshot on the third floor of the teaching building.
Fanny should not be in the teaching building at the time, otherwise, based on her experience, she might be able to judge that the shooting location was on the third floor.
Fanny should know about Bowen’s courses, knowing that Bowen should be in classroom 201 of the teaching building, very close to the place where the gun was shot, and she mistakenly thought that Bowen was the shooter.
After all, the reason why Fanny sneaked into the school to investigate was because someone reported that Bowen might shoot the school. Now that something happened, Fanny is obliged to verify Bowen's suspicion.
Fanny rushed to Bowen's classroom immediately.
Of course, after seeing Bowen's state at that time, Fanny might have doubts and didn't shoot immediately. It should be that she wanted to control Bowen first and conduct a routine body search to rule out the other party's suspicion.
But when she shouted the FBI slogan, it was likely to be heard by the real killer, who shot him in the back.
Fanny, as a former marine, has rich combat experience. It is very likely that she will turn around when she hears someone behind her, but it is already too late.
Three shots are fired, two of which hit Fanny, and one misses.
Fanny is dead, the gun falls to the ground, and the killer leaves.
Of course, this speculation is based on the fact that Bowen did not lie.
Based on Luke's experience, it is unlikely that Bowen lied.
Before, the police had been guessing why Fanny, a former marine with extensive combat experience, was easily shot.
She mistook Bowen for the murderer and focused on Bowen, causing him to be attacked from behind.
She can detect the turn in time, which is enough to show her keen judgment, and the bullet will hit the chest.
So far, this description is perfectly logical.
Bowen took a deep breath, and said again, "I was frightened, the first time I saw a dead person, I didn't expect it to be like this.
I knew it was not safe here, I wanted to run, and then I saw the gun on the ground, I wanted to protect myself, I didn't want what happened just now, I was pointed at by a gun like a fool, I could only hide There was a shiver under the table. "Bowen thumped his chest vigorously,
"I don't want to be bullied again, not by anyone.
I picked up Fanny's pistol, and I was about to leave school, so it would be an extra layer of security.
I left the classroom and heard a woman's wailing for help. It was very close, but there was no one around. I felt like I was upstairs.
If it was before, I might not dare to go up and check.
But now that I have a gun, I have the ability, I want to do what a man should do.
I went upstairs and saw a female classmate lying in a pool of blood, Barbara.
I knew her, Chad's girlfriend, and I had neither a good nor a bad impression of her.
But she fell in a pool of blood, and I had to save her.
I walked over, took out the clothes from her bag, and pressed them on the wound.
Just then, I heard footsteps and turned to see Chad rushing over and kicking me over.
I was stunned by the kick and forgot to fight back.
Then, I watched him holding a stick in his hand, like a wooden chair leg, trying to hit me.
I instinctively took out the pistol.
'Bang bang! '
After that, he fell to the ground and I hit him.
People were also scared silly.
I wiped off the fingerprints on the gun. There are many potted plants under the teaching building. I hid in one of the potted plants and then went home.
This is what happened. "
Luke listened carefully, restored the scene in his mind, and found no major loopholes. As for why Chad just rushed over, Barbara mentioned it before.
Barbara was on the phone with Chad when she was shot. The other party should have heard the gunshot and knew that something happened to Barbara.
From this point of view, although Chad likes to bully other classmates and has a flawed character, he is still sincere to his girlfriend.
Luke collected his thoughts and asked, "Did you see the murderer who killed Fanny?"
"No, Fanny blocked my view at the time. After the gunshot, I was so scared that I lay on the ground and didn't dare to look at it."
Bowen's father grabbed his son's arm and comforted him, "Son, you did the right thing and did nothing wrong. If it were me, I would make the same choice as you.
Inspector, my son must be acting in self-defense. He has the right to shoot when he is attacked in that crisis situation. "
Luke nodded, "You're right, if it was me, I would choose to shoot. I also think this is self-defense, but the final decision on whether to prosecute lies with the prosecution.
In addition, Bowen's attitude during the investigation is also very important. As long as he cooperates with the police, we will help him fight for it. "
"Thank you, I am willing to cooperate with you. What I say now is true. If you have any questions, you can ask me again."
Luke once again took out photos of the other victims for Bowen to identify, but Bowen did not provide any valuable clues.
But Bowen's guilty plea is good news for the police, and the investigation of the whole case is also a huge progress.
After clarifying the cause of death of a shooter and excluding the interference of a gun, the case will become clearer and it will be easier to investigate the real purpose of the murderer.
Bowen pleads guilty, and Luke leaves the interrogation room.
As soon as he returned to the office, there was a burst of applause.
The deputy team laughed, "Luke, congratulations on making that boy Bowen plead guilty."
"Thank you. Thanks to Barbara's statement."
The deputy team asked, "How do you know that Barbara woke up and just arrived?"
Luke smiled, "There are noble people to help."
The deputy team sighed, "I'm good at everything in my life, but I'm just unlucky and haven't met a noble person."
Luke secretly thought, it’s not that you haven’t met nobles, it’s because no one dares to be your nobleman. Reid is not a person who is jealous of talents, as can be seen from his promotion of Luke.
In this case, why didn't he promote the deputy team who knew him earlier and had a better relationship?
That must be because the sub-team itself has certain problems.
Based on Luke's understanding of the vice team, this old man has a bad temper and bad temper. He might be hotter than David when he was young. Who would dare to promote him easily.
If something goes wrong, I will be jointly and severally liable.
Luke is much more at ease. He is self-motivated, capable, and able to judge the situation. Reid is naturally willing to be promoted.
Seeing everyone congratulate Luke, Xiao Hei felt a little uncomfortable. I also went to the hospital to take a record for Barbara. I also had a share of the credit for Bowen's plea. Why did no one congratulate me?
why?
…
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Robbery and Murder Division Conference Room.
Red sits in the middle of the conference table and chairs the meeting.
"Guys, tell me what's new in your investigation. Luke, you'll be the first."
Luke organized the language, "After the injured Barbara in the teaching building woke up, I made a record for her, and based on her confession, we learned part of the situation at the crime scene.
Including the process of Bowen Peelton killing school bully Chad Kleiss, Bowen has admitted to killing Chad Kleiss in self-defense.
At the same time, it also explained why FBI agent Fanny's gun killed the school bully Chad Kleiss.
I think maybe this case can be taken out temporarily, and the clues of the shooting case may be clearer. "
Rett nodded, "What do other people think?"
The deputy team said, "I agree with Luke that if you remove the FBI agent's gun, there are only two guns B and C left in the shooting.
Among them, the bullets of C gun only appeared in the music building.
Gun B has shooting scenes in the teaching building, music building and science building.
This shows that the suspect who used gun B is likely to be the mastermind, and gun C is the accomplice.
In addition, Gunner B went to the teaching building first, then went to the music building, and finally went to the science building, which seems to be a purposeful pursuit of someone. "
The second squadron leader Kelin said, "I also think the murderer is chasing and killing someone.
But I feel that the whereabouts of Gunner B are not the teaching building, the music building, and the science building. It should be the teaching building, the science building, and finally the music building. "
The deputy team retorted, "But based on the confession, the gunshots from the music building were before the teaching building."
Kling said, "Don't forget there is Gunner C, he probably rushed to the Music Building to shoot, and then Gunner B rushed over from the Science Building to support.
The reason why I came to this analysis is mainly based on the confession of the school police.
According to the school police, he rushed to the teaching building as soon as he heard the gunshots. In the process, he saw gunman B walking in the direction of the science building. Then, gunman B chased and killed a black man in the science building. A shootout broke out between the police and Gunner B.
Afterwards, the black man was killed on the rooftop, and he was the only dead in the science building. As for the wounded, the glass broken by the gun battle hit his head. "
The deputy team shook his head, "This school policeman is really..."
Kling said, "He's just a campus police officer, you can't ask too much of him, and he performed his duties."
Luke was thinking as he listened to the discussion between the two.
In his opinion, there should be three people the murderer really wanted to kill, the first cheerleader Josie who was killed in the toilet, the second man who was killed on the rooftop, and the third student council member Herman. The connection between the three people may be able to find out the murderer's purpose, and thus follow the clues to find the murderer.
Barbara, Chad, Lev, and Hollip were excluded for their own reasons. They are probably not the real target of the murderer.
Take Barbara as an example, if the murderer wants to, he can directly replace the gun, but he didn't do it.
Chad was killed by Bowen and had nothing to do with the murderer.
Both Lev and Hollip were hotheaded and actively involved in the shooter incident.
At this moment, Mary from the survey team walked into the conference room, "Director Rhett, the bullet marks from the C gun have been identified, and the owner of this gun is Rachel Phyllis.
The bad news is that he reported the theft not long ago, and the gun is now missing. "
This news is really ups and downs, which means that the found gun has disappeared again.
Rett said directly, "Luke, Marcus, I will leave the clues of the gun to you for investigation. Is there a problem?"
"No problem, sir." Luke readily agreed.
It is beneficial, the leader thinks of you, and you have to be able to solve the problem, otherwise what does the leader want you to do?
…
Downtown Los Angeles.
Burska Apartments.
In the impression of many Chinese, housing prices in the city center are higher than those in the suburbs, which is not necessarily the case in Los Angeles.
Many rich people in Los Angeles live in the suburbs, and good communities and supporting facilities are also in the suburbs.
The city center looks a bit dilapidated.
This also caused a phenomenon that the city center is bustling during the day and deserted at night.
Many dilapidated apartments in the city center are rented out to poor black people.
The owner of the gun, Rachel Phyllis, lives here.
The two found apartment 105 where Rachel Phyllis lived according to the address.
"Boom..."
The door opened, and a fat middle-aged white man stood at the door, frowning, "You want to rent a house?"
Xiao Hei showed his police badge, "NO, this is Detective Marcus, this is Detective Luke, we want to talk to you."
"Is there a clue to my theft?"
"The purpose of our coming is to investigate the theft. Are you Rachel Phyllis?"
"Yes."
Xiao Hei asked back, "Are you going to chat here all the time?"
"Sorry, please come in." Rachel stepped aside and asked Luke and Xiao Hei to go in.
Luke glanced at the environment of the apartment. The area is about 50 to 60 square meters. When you enter the door, you will find the living room with a kitchen and bathroom. The bedroom is on the right side of the living room.
Luke sat on the sofa, straight to the point, "Rachel, when did you lose your pistol?"
"It should be half a month. I haven't seen you before? You are really the police, not liars." Rachel Phyllis looked at Luke and Luke carefully, showing suspicion.
"We are the police, you don't have to doubt that."
"Then why don't you wear police uniforms?"
"We are detectives, we don't need to wear police uniforms."
Rachel was a little surprised, "I'm really flattered that my case has alerted the police department."
Luke said truthfully, "We are investigating other cases, and we happened to investigate your case by the way."
"Wow, you guys are so enthusiastic." Rachel said eccentrically.
Luke said seriously, "Rachel, if the police department can't solve your case, then your case will become an unsolved case in the future, and no one can solve it."
Rachel didn't seem to have much hope, "Just ask what you want to ask."
"Can you describe the process of the theft?"
"I don't want to recall, it's not a good memory."
Luke asked back, "Do you still want to get back your things?"
Rachel thought for a while and said, "Are you sure you can still find it after so many days?"
"uncertain."
"At least you didn't lie." Rachel fell into memory,
"My birthday was half a month ago, and someone knocked on the door at about seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
I opened the door and saw a birthday cake at the door with the words 'Happy Birthday, Landlord! ’, I was very moved, I have rented out my house to many people, and this is the first time someone remembers my birthday, that feeling is great. "
"Then, I ate the cake. When I ate half of it, I felt a little dizzy, and then passed out. When I woke up again..." Rachel showed an excited and angry look, "I found myself lying On the ground, with something stuffed in my mouth, it smelled so bad, I spit it out, and it turned out to be stool.
Someone got me hooked and then stuffed **** in my mouth, I'm going to be **** off, what kind of person can do such a thing is disgusting. "
Xiao Hei opened his mouth wide, looking surprised, suddenly didn't want to talk to him, and moved his **** to the side.
Luke asked, "Why does it say 'Happy Birthday, Landlord!' on the cake?"
“I have more than a dozen apartments for rent. I’m a second landlord to be exact. I sign the house from the apartment developer and then rent the house to the client. This is completely legal.”
"Who have you offended recently? Like tenants?"
"There are too many. Many of the renters are black. They don't know what gratitude is. They think that I am exploiting them by subletting the house. In fact, they don't understand at all. They are a bunch of rotten people in the eyes of apartment developers. If it weren't for me As a guarantee, no one will rent the house to them."
Xiao Hei pouted, and said black people in front of me, pretending that I don't exist? "I know why you put **** in your mouth because your mouth stinks."
"I'm telling the truth. If you're not fierce enough, you can't control those rotten people. It's not easy to collect rent from them. I did it."
Xiao Hei sneered, "Hmm, is stool delicious?"
Rachel looked at Luke aside, "Detective, does that count as a personal attack?"
"I'm here to solve the problem, not to listen to your quarrel, how about let's get back to business?" Luke didn't answer directly.
From the conversation, it can be heard that Rachel has a deep prejudice against black people. He is not aimed at Xiao Hei, but shows an instinctive aversion to most low-level black people.
As a black group, Xiao Hei is right to refute. He just said that each other has different perspectives and interests.
Luke continued to ask, "Rachel, is there surveillance in the apartment?"
"No.
It was installed before, I think that might make Hei..." Rachel noticed Xiao Hei staring at him, and quickly changed his words, "It will make the tenants more honest, installed some monitoring, and was destroyed by masked men the next day.
After several repairs, each time it was damaged within a week, and then I gave up.
I can only protect myself, so I bought a pistol. "
"Since you know the tenants are dissatisfied with you, why do you still eat cake?"
"I especially like sweets." Rachel swallowed, "I also hesitated at the time, I cut the cake and found nothing wrong.
It was my birthday and I was craving it, and not all tenants are bad, there are some good tenants, I have a good relationship with them, thought they sent it.
So I ate it. "
Rachel showed an angry look, "That **** is too shameless, he used this method to deal with me on my birthday, and left a shadow on me. I like to eat sweets, but now I feel like vomiting when I see cakes..."
Xiao Hei said solemnly, "I can understand that it's a sad thing when I was eating cake in my mouth a moment ago and found **** stuffed in my mouth after waking up. I don't even dare to think about it."
"Detective, he's targeting me again!"
"I don't, I'm just describing the facts."
"Stop!" Luke interrupted the two, "Rachel, what items have you lost?"
“A gun, a Rolex, and a few hundred dollars in cash. And breaking a limited-edition Scarlet Witch figure, and that’s what hurts me the most.”
Luke confirmed, "What model pistol?"
"Monty Colt Python." Rachel walked over with a stack of photos, "This is a photo of the lost property requested by the police. I thought they could find it, but there is no news for so long."
Luke took the photo to check, a silver wooden handle revolver, "Where is the gun, are there any fingerprints?"
"It was locked in a drawer, and the police said that only my own fingerprints were found. I am also very depressed."
"Does that gun have any characteristics?"
"The wooden handle of the gun has my initials D on it.
I adore that gun, have you seen The Walking Dead?
I believe you must have seen it. The protagonist Rick uses a Colt Python revolver, slung on his waist, holding the **** of the gun with his right hand, super handsome.
Xiao Hei sneered, "Your waist is thicker than a large oil drum, and you are ashamed to compare with Rick, I think you are more like Shrek.
Yes, you are Shrek.
It is right to help you quit sweets, otherwise you will be fat sooner or later.
Maybe you’ll thank the guy who put **** in your mouth later, lol…”
Rachel looked at Luke, "Detective, can I get this **** out? I've had enough."
Luke was a little helpless. Los Angeles was harmonious on the surface, but the problem of the Z family had not disappeared. Rachel was a typical example. His status was not high. It is a contradiction in itself not to open black people.
It is precisely because of this contradiction that the case was triggered, and to a certain extent, there is a causal relationship.
This kind of problem has been solved by dozens of commanders for hundreds of years, and Luke is even more lazy. Look at the next photo of the lost property, a figure of a Scarlet Witch, which saves on fabric.
The last photo is a Rolex watch with a green dial and a silver metal strap. It looks familiar...
Luke recalls a man.
Theodore Caine.
He has the same Rolex in his hand.
Luke pointed to the photo and asked, "Do you still have the purchase receipt for this watch?"
"No, this watch has been with me for many years. The model is Submariner 116610LV. It was given to me by a good friend. Please help me find it."
"Does this watch have any special markings?"
Rachel thought for a while, "There is a scratch on the lower left side of the dial. I accidentally touched it when I took off the watch. It hurt me so much." Rachel pointed to the photo and said, "This angle can still See some."
Luke nodded, noting the scratches on the dial.
"Has the police in charge of the case found any clues about the thief?"
"No, they didn't find anything, but according to one of my tenants, I saw a man sneaking in the corridor with a cake that day. He was wearing a hat and a mask and couldn't see his face clearly, but his hands were Black, it should be black." Rachel added, "That's why I hate them."
Luke thought for a while and said, "Has the stool stuffed in your mouth been identified?"
“I proposed, but the police refused, saying that it was not a human, it should be a dog, and there was no need for an identification, and they didn’t have the funds.
I wanted to pay for the appraisal myself, but I couldn't accept it...fuck, how could he be so wicked, this will become my shadow for the rest of my life. "Rachel clenched her fists tightly. Although it had been a long time, she was still very angry when she mentioned it again.
Xiao Hei wanted to laugh, but was glared at by Luke, and quickly turned his face away, holding back his voice.
Luke said, "I want to see the tenant list."
"No problem, I'll get it."
After a while, Rachel handed a thick notebook to Luke, "All the tenants are recorded in it, which is definitely more complete than the one on the computer."
Luke began to check the tenant list. His observation skills were very strong, and he could see ten lines at a glance.
Turned a few pages and found a familiar name, Triss Lear.
She is the girlfriend of the two-point fast boy Theodore Cain.
"Tell me the exact time of your birthday?"
"April 29."
This time is very close to the time when Theodore and his girlfriend Triss Lear were dating.
"Do you have any impression of the tenant Triss Lear?"
Rachel thought for a while, "Yes, she lived here for a while, and I have the impression that she often defaults on rent and refuses to leave.
Thank goodness she finally moved some time ago. That house can be rented to other people again.
I hired someone to clean it before renting it out. The room was dirty and messy, and it was horrible to see.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the contract signed with the developer hadn’t expired, I would have wanted to change careers a long time ago and never deal with them again.
They are a bunch of parasites. After Rachel asked, as if thinking of something, "Is this theft related to her?" "
"You don't have to think too much, it's just a routine inquiry." Luke said perfunctorily.
He said so, but he felt in his heart that this case was probably related to Triss Lear and her boyfriend Theodore.
When the theft happened, Theodore and his girlfriend Triss Lear should have just met.
Luke speculates that Theodore may have retaliated against Rachel in order to please his girlfriend, and at the same time stole Rachel's guns, watches, figures and cash.
These items are likely still in his home.
Further speculation, if Theodore Caine is the thief, the gun Colt Python should be in his hands.
He is most likely one of the suspects in the shooting.
The **** lied.
…
Theodore.
A Ford Explorer and two police cars are parked at the gate.
After getting off the car, Luke and Xiao Hei put on their bulletproof vests, and four patrolmen also came over.
Luke made a simple deployment, two patrolmen guarded the back door, and two patrolmen were responsible for support.
He took Xiao Hei to the front door.
"Boom..."
No response.
"Boom..."
"Who is outside?" A young man's voice sounded.
"Here comes the old friend, Theodore, open the door."
A moment later, the door opened, and Theodore stood at the door, looked at Luke, then at Xiao Hei, "What are you doing here again?"
"We just passed by and said hello to a friend by the way."
Theodore showed a guarded look, "We just met once, I don't think we are friends."
Luke stared at his left wrist for a while, looked at Theodore a little hairy, shrank his hands, "Oh, what are you going to do?"
Luke pointed to Theodore's left wrist, "Can I have a look at my watch?"
"No, this is my personal item." Theodore refused simply, "You have already said hello, if there is nothing else, please go out."
Luke has just observed a scratch on the lower left side of the Rolex watch, which is exactly the same as what Rachel described, and it is exactly the same as the picture of the lost property. A search warrant was displayed, "Theodore, we suspect that you are related to a theft , I want to search your house, please cooperate."
Theodore showed an angry look, "What the **** are you doing? You said I was a murderer last time, and this time you said I was stealing. Why are you targeting me?
I am innocent. "
Luke showed the search warrant again, "We are here to prove this, please cooperate."
After the voice fell, Luke brought Xiao Hei into the house, and the four patrolmen also cooperated in the search, and the three of Theodore were under surveillance.
Triss Lear looked very angry, and shouted at Luke and Xiao Hei, "Why are you always interrupting our lives? Do you deliberately target us because we are black?"
"Shutup! Put away your tricks, I'm black too, these nonsense are useless to me, understand?" Xiao Hei yelled loudly.
Of the six police officers present, only Xiao Hei was a black man. This kind of accusation is very serious, and he must clearly retaliate.
This is also the helplessness of many black police officers. It is an indisputable fact that blacks have a higher crime rate.
Black police officers are not only African-Americans, but also members of lapd. This measure must be grasped.
This is why Luke likes to take Xiao Hei to investigate cases. Even if he doesn't do anything, as long as he follows Luke, it can bring Luke a lot of convenience.
Minority advantage.
This advantage is most obvious in black people, they are the most capable of doing things.
did win a lot of benefits.
Luke and Xiao Hei searched the house, and soon found the figure of the Scarlet Witch. I don't know if it was his illusion, but I always felt that the color of some parts of the witch was different and lighter.
Luke put the scarlet witch's figurine and watch on the table to take a photo, "Theodore, these two items are the lost property of a theft case, explain why they are in your house?"
Theodore's face was a little ugly, "I don't know."
Luke looked at the black girl beside him, "Tris Lear, why don't you tell me?"
Triss Lear's face was also a little ugly, "I have nothing to say."
Luke spread his hands, "In this case, I can only take you back to the police station. Rachel, an old acquaintance, can't wait to see you. He misses you very much."
"He deserves it!" At this moment, Triss Lear's younger brother shouted, "He deserves what he deserves!"
Luke took advantage of the situation and asked, "How did he get what he deserved?"
Brother Triss Lear yelled, "His stinky mouth knows how to swear and spray dung every day, so he should be punished."
"So, you just stuffed your own **** in his mouth?"
Brother Triss Lear corrected, "That's not mine, it's shit! It matches his stinky mouth best!"
Luke signaled the patrolman to take Theodore and Triss out.
Only the policeman and brother Triss were left in the room.
Luke pulled a chair and sat down, "You did it?"
Seeing Luke's gaze, Brother Triss shrank back first, then took a deep breath, and took a step forward, "I shouldn't have left at that time, I should have stayed there to see his expression after waking up, It must be exciting!"
Luke nodded, "I want to hear it too, or you start from the beginning."
"Put away your swindling tricks. Since I stand up, I have no fear. Don't you just want to know the case? As long as you let Theodore and my sister go, I will tell you."
"As long as the situation you describe is consistent with the scene, I will naturally let them go."
"Keep your word?"
"certainly."
"I'm not yet an adult, can I be given a lighter sentence?"
"If you cooperate with the police, I can help you fight. My colleagues don't like Rachel very much either. You have a common language in this regard."
Brother Triss took a look at Xiao Hei, "I'm glad you still know who you are?"
Little underworld, "Boy, I'm a lapd first, understand?
Stop talking nonsense, and explain quickly. "
"I hate Rachel, he's a jerk, he swears every day, he will come to our house and make trouble, if we don't pay the rent, he will yell at us and judge my sister, I hate it He, I want to beat him hard.
We moved out of his apartment half a year ago, but I have never retaliated against him. I was afraid that if I retaliated against him immediately, he would suspect me.
So, I'm waiting for an occasion, his birthday.
I bought his favorite matcha cake and added sleeping pills to it. The idiot fell asleep after eating it, and there was still a lot of cream in his mouth.
Then I stuffed **** in his mouth and stole his watch, figure, and revolver.
I hate that revolver, he bought that pistol to use against us and keeps using it to show off.
He likes to think of himself as Rick in The Walking Dead, so what are we?
Walking dead?
Or go meat?
It was a kindness that I didn't kill him.
He deserved it, and I don't regret it. "
Xiao Hei looked at him, with a complicated expression on his face, "How did you think of stuffing **** into his mouth?"
"I think his mouth stinks better than shit, is there a problem?"
Xiao Hei shrugged, "No, I want to say that you did a great job!"
Brother Triss looked at Luke, "Now, can you let my sister and Theodore go?"
"I want to let them go too, but the problem is that there is one missing item, the revolver. Tell them the whereabouts of that gun, and I will let them go."
"I gave Theodore that gun."
"Why? Give him the watch and the gun? Are you so dedicated?"
"He bought it from me.
I didn't think about stealing a gun at first, but I overheard that Theodore wanted a gun, but he wasn't old enough to buy it, so I brought it out.
Theodore gave me five hundred dollars. "
Luke confirmed, "That means the gun is in Theodore's hands?"
"Yes."
Luke recalled, "The last time we came to arrest Theodore, the reason why you escaped was not to distract the police, but because you were afraid that the police would arrest you for theft?"
"That's right. Then you let me go, and I thought I'd get away with it. But I don't regret it, I can laugh out loud now thinking of Rachel with **** stuffed in her mouth."
Subsequently, Luke asked the patrol to **** Triss brother back to the police station.
Xiao Hei sighed, "You know? I'm glad I became a policeman, otherwise... I wouldn't dare to think about it."
Luke patted him on the shoulder, "Now is not the time for emotion, Theodore is the protagonist."
…
after an hour.
Police Detective Agency.
trial room.
Theodore was handcuffed on the interrogation chair, looking at Luke and Xiao Hei angrily, "What exactly do you want? I've said it all, I didn't steal anything, let alone kill anyone."
"According to the confession of Triss' younger brother, Capo Lear, he sold the pistol to you for five hundred dollars, didn't he?"
"I don't remember exactly."
"It's okay, let's confront him. If he lies, then add another crime of perjury to him. What do you think?"
"Why do you insist on forcing me?"
"No one is forcing you, you have been lying and getting yourself into trouble, and telling the truth is the only way for you to save yourself."
"I sold that gun."
"Sold to whom?"
"I don't know him, we are a cash transaction, he gives me money, I give him a gun."
Luke opened the diary and prepared to record, "How did you contact me? How much did you sell for? Where did you trade it? Don't lie to the police."
“I was trading on the street, and I saw a guy wearing a mask sneaking around, so I asked him if he wanted to buy a gun, and he said yes.
Then, I sold it to him for seven hundred yuan. Everyone gets what they need and there is no hassle. "
Luke smiled, "You think the police are idiots when you apply the trick of selling stolen mobile phones to pistols? Can you believe anything?"
"I'm telling the truth, and I said I was with Triss when the shooting happened, and I didn't have time for it."
"The police went to Highway 1 to check according to what you and Triss said, and they did see the surveillance camera of the Toyota at the gas station you mentioned, but the time was 2:30 pm.
The shooting happened at 3:20 in the afternoon, and you have time to rush back to the city to commit crimes. "
Theodore argued, "As I said, I'm playing poker with Triss, and it's impossible to come back so soon."
"You said, it seems to be more than two minutes, I will round it up to three minutes, from 2:33 to 3:20 pm, 47 minutes can still be rushed back.
If you want to prove that you didn't have time to commit the crime, make it clear where that time went. "
Theodore's face changed slightly, "What I said is true, if you don't believe it, you can check it yourself."
"lapd is not a superman. It takes time to investigate cases. We can only investigate one by one. You know your own affairs best. If you have a clear conscience, why don't you cooperate with the police?"
Theodore bit his lip, showed hesitation, took a deep breath, "I have nothing to say."
"Then let me make a hypothetical guess."
Luke stood up, paced and said, "You can't forget the cheerleader Josie, you think she looks down on you, and even called the police to arrest you, so you are very angry, after buying the gun from Capo Lear, you have The idea of revenge, and then planned the shooting together with others.
When you got to school, you didn't find Josie, but you saw her good friend Barbara.
You shot at Barbara and wounded Barbara. You know they are good friends, and you hope to draw Josie out in this way.
After that, you saw Josie come out of the women's room, took a gun and took her into the women's room again, and shot and killed her. "
Theodore showed an angry look, "No, I am not doing this, you are wronging me."
Luke spread his hands, "I'm just making a hypothetical speculation based on the existing evidence and clues. If you think it's wrong, you can refute it."
Theodore clenched his fists tightly, his cheeks flushed, "I want to see a lawyer."
Luke is a little regretful. In fact, there are loopholes in his reasoning, and the shooter must be able to hear it.
It's a pity that Theodore didn't respond clearly to this.
Luke suddenly thought that if he also understood micro-expression analysis, he might be able to see Theodore's real reaction at this time.
Wanzi, this time should be a big chapter.
At the end of the last chapter, I felt that the number of words was almost the end. I really didn’t want to break the chapter.
Self-feeling is not out of context.
This time I have learned my lesson, and I will write a chapter with ten thousand words to the end.
Five thousand guarantee.
The other 5,000 words will be added (18/21)
There are three more updates to be paid off.
It should not be too little to add 5,000 words each time.
(end of this chapter)
