Chapter 535 Omission
Luke asked, "When was the last time you saw each other?"
Mbak Etta calmed down and said, "This is my private matter.
Before answering the question, I want to know why you arrested me?
I know the law. If you can't give a reasonable explanation, I will sue you.
I was serious. "
Luke said, "Latifa Gallo is dead."
"comeon, stop joking."
David scolded, "fuck, who do you think you are?
We don't sleep at night, so we came here to make fun of you? "
The smile on Mbak Etta's face froze, "My God, is she really dead?"
Luke replied, "Yes, I also found your DNA in her.
That's why we came to you. "
David said coldly, "You insulted a prison guard and brutally killed her.
I believe that your life in prison will be very colorful in the future. "
Mbak Etta turned pale, and quickly explained, "nonono, I didn't kill her, I didn't even know she was dead.
I admit that I met her yesterday and played poker with her, but I have nothing to do with her death. "
David concludes, "So, you admit to strengthening her?"
"No, she voluntarily.
To be precise, she initiated it, she wanted to play poker with me. "
Luke shrugged, "She's dead, you can say whatever you want, but do you think the judge will believe it?
A female prison guard offered to play poker with a criminal. "
Luke tentatively asked, "Why did you go to her house?"
"I didn't go to her house, we made a date at a motel, and she was fine when she left, and I swear to God, I'm telling the truth."
"Why are you meeting at a motel?"
Mbak Etta hesitated, "Uh...this is our private matter."
David curled his lips, "If it were me, I wouldn't say it either. If I say something wrong, it may reveal the motive of the murder."
Mbak Etta argued loudly, "No, I really didn't kill her."
Luke said seriously, "Then tell me everything between you, don't hide anything. If you lie, the police will doubt all your confessions.
Including your denial of murder, understand? "
"Damn..." Mbak Etta lowered his head, "I really don't know what to say."
David said, "Then tell me how you killed Latifah Gallo? Perhaps this is simpler."
"I'll say it again for the last time, I didn't kill her. I don't believe you can check it."
Luke pointed to his eyes, "Look at me.
I am from the Robbery and Murder Division, and I just want to investigate the truth about the murder of Latifa Gallo.
I know there may be some tricks between you, but I don't care.
I just want to find out who killed Latifa Gallo.
What you have to do now is to explain clearly why the two of you met, so that you can clear yourself of suspicion, understand? "
"Is what you said true?"
"That depends on whether you have cooperated?"
Mbak Etta took a deep breath, "As I said just now, Latifah Gallo is a prison guard at Rogley Prison, and I served my sentence in that prison before, that's how we know each other.
She is a bit forceful, but she is nice, and I was taken care of by her inside.
I am very grateful to her. I just made some money recently, so I want to express my heart. "
"How much did you pay her?"
"Twenty thousand dollars."
Luke said, "You were released from prison half a year ago, and it took so long to express your heart, isn't it too late.
The police are not fools, don't use such clumsy excuses.
I'll keep it a secret for you. "
Mbak Etta glanced at Luke, then glanced at David next to him, and sighed, "Some time ago, our gang had a conflict with another group, and a few of my friends were also sent to Rogueli Prison, I want to ask her to help take care of it, it's as simple as that."
"How many times have you met since you were released from prison?"
"Four times, each time at the same motel, she was careful never to meet a third person.
Also, last time was the first time we had sex, so I was also surprised.
Actually, she is not very beautiful, she is far worse than my girlfriend, but it is hard for me to reject her in that situation. "
Luke said, "Everything changes for a reason, why is she suddenly playing poker with you?"
"I asked, too, if she liked me.
She laughed and said that she hadn't done it for a long time and wanted to release it. "
Luke pressed, "Did you know she was married?"
"Yes, judging from her tone, she should have had a conflict with her husband.
I think that's why she offered to play poker with me. "
"What's going on between her and her husband?"
"I don't know, we just play poker, that's all. I don't think I can get involved in each other's family, and I'm not interested.
I don't want my girlfriend to know about it. "
Luke wrote down the name of Alec Wyatt in the notebook. Before the deputy team took notes for Alec Wyatt, the other party has always behaved like a good husband and father, and never mentioned him and the victim. people's contradictions.
If Alec Wyatt knew that the victim was playing poker with a gangster, he would be surprisingly angry and do some irrational things, which is understandable.
Also, the golf club that killed the victim belonged to Alec Wyatt.
"When did you and Latifah Gallo meet and when did you leave?"
"Meet at the motel at 2:30 and leave around 3:30."
"Where were you between 4:30 and 6?"
"Sleeping in a motel, the woman was crazy, we played poker twice, I was tired.
I needed to rest and didn't leave until after seven o'clock in the evening.
After dinner, come to this bar for a drink. "
"After you met Latifah Gallo, did she have any abnormalities?"
"No, she has always been unsmiling, not afraid of your jokes, but I am actually a little afraid of her."
"Do you have any suspects for the murderer who killed her?"
"No, actually I don't know her very well."
"What's the name of the motel you met at?"
"Morphite Hotel."
David warned, "We will verify what you said, and you know the consequences of lying."
"I swear, what I say is true.
I didn't do anything illegal, I just played poker behind my girlfriend's back.
I had nothing to do with Latifa Gallo's death. "
Luke kept staring at the other party and found no obvious signs of lying. Later, Luke sent people to the Moffett Hotel to investigate and confirmed Mbak Etta's confession.
Since Mbak Etta is not the murderer, his words are somewhat credible.
…
The next morning.
Robbery Murder Division Office.
In the lounge.
Alec Wyatt stood up, walked around the lounge a little anxiously, and walked to the window from time to time to check the situation outside.
He received a call from the police station early in the morning, saying that the case had made new progress and asked him to come to the police station.
When he arrived at the police station, he was called to the lounge. Half an hour later, he was still ignored.
Is this the norm in the police station?
After a while, there was movement outside the door. Luke and Jackson pushed the door and walked into the lounge.
Luke put a document on the table, "Mr. Alec Wyatt, I've kept you waiting."
"It's okay, I know you will be busy investigating the case, and I should wait a little longer."
Luke shook his head, "No, I'm actually not busy, I've been staying in the office.
It's just that my colleague went to the Vincent Travel Agency where you work and had a friendly chat with your colleague.
Do you have anything to say? "
Alec Wyatt showed a nervous look, "Sorry, I don't know what this means?"
Luke cut to the chase, "According to the police's speculation, your wife was killed between 4:30 and 6:00 p.m. the day before yesterday.
When you were taking notes, you said that you were working in a travel agency during that time period.
My colleague went to your travel agency to check the situation. According to the company's front desk, you didn't go to work the afternoon before yesterday. Where did you go? "
"My God, are you investigating me? Why?" Alec Wyatt asked loudly.
In Luke's view, this is precisely a sign of guilt, "Because you lied.
Let me guess, you didn't go to the travel agency that day, you stalked your wife and saw something that shouldn't have happened.
You were so excited and angry that you killed your wife. "
"No, you are framing her. I didn't follow her, let alone kill her."
"Then where have you been?"
"That's my privacy."
"Maybe it used to be, but since you lied to the police, the nature has changed.
You are interfering with the police investigation and forging an alibi, which is obstructing official duties.
I can catch you right now. "
"Please do not do this."
Alec Wyatt sighed, "I tell you.
I did not go to the travel agency that day, I went to see a lawyer. "
"Why hide it?"
Alec Wyatt said helplessly, "Because I saw that I was a divorce lawyer, I was worried that you would suspect, so I concealed this."
"Are you planning to divorce Latifah Gallo?"
"No, it was she who planned to divorce, she proposed it on her own initiative, and I tried to get it back, but she was very firm.
I had to consult a lawyer as a last resort. "
Luke asked, "What conflict happened between you?"
Alec Wyatt shook his head, "I don't know either."
Luke shook his right index finger, "Don't lie to me, you can't lie to me, why?"
Alec Wyatt was silent for a moment, licking his lips, "She... thinks I'm cheating."
"Who is your cheating partner?"
"No, I didn't cheat, let alone someone I cheated on.
And even if there is, I have the right to confidentiality, this is my privacy. "
Luke stared at the other party for a while, then handed the other party a paper and pen, "Write down the lawyer's name, law firm, and contact information."
Alec Wyatt sighed, a little reluctantly, but still wrote it down as Luke asked, "I am also very helpless when things have developed to this point..."
"You don't want to divorce her?"
"In the beginning it was true, but now... I'm not sure."
Luke handed the note to Jackson on the side, and continued to ask, "Tell me about the installation of the pinhole camera in the house."
"I already said it."
"Since you lied, your confession has been invalidated. Why did you install a pinhole camera in the house? What do you want to film? To catch rape?"
Alec Wyatt stretched out three fingers, "No, I swear, the installation of the pinhole camera has nothing to do with me."
"Then who do you think it's related to?"
Alec Wyatt thought for a while, "If I have to say it, I think it's more like Latifah Gallo installed it himself."
"Do you have evidence?"
"No, just guessing."
"What is the basis for that?"
Alec Wyatt crossed his fingers, "I can't say it well, I just have this feeling.
She is used to controlling everything and arranging everything, for example, when to eat, when to go home.
If we travel together, she makes all the plans too, she likes everything to be organized.
Her character is very strong. "
"Before she was killed, was there anything unusual?"
"Yes, she has recently become more sensitive and irritable. We have quarreled several times. I always feel that she may have mental problems. I always want her to see a doctor, but she refuses. She is worried about the test results. If it is not good, it will affect her work.
To be honest, this is what scares me the most. "
"Boom..."
The lounge door rang, and Matthew pushed the door and walked in, "Captain, I found some new clues."
Luke stood up, left the lounge, and asked, "What clue."
"I found out the identity of the suspected murderer."
Luke was a little surprised, "How did you find out?"
"I compared the surveillance video of the Moffitt Hotel and the neighborhood of the victim the day before yesterday afternoon, and found that a black Chevrolet car had been to these two places at the same time. I checked the surveillance along the way and found that this black Chevrolet car had been following , following the victim's car.
Subsequently, I checked the information of the suspect vehicle. "
Name, Sheldah Carr
Date of Birth, February 12, 1999
Mobile phone number, 7148267812
Address, No. 302, Salmu Community
Previous convictions, theft, robbery
License plate number, 2web328
Luke checked the owner's information. The owner's name was Sheldah, which was the same as the name written by the deceased, and the owner had a criminal record, which fit the characteristics of a murderer. No wonder Matthew was so excited.
However, yesterday morning, Luke also checked the community monitoring near the victim's house, and also checked the identity of the car owner, but he did not find a car owner named Sherda.
Could it be that I missed some clues?
Luke sat down at Matthew's computer desk, checked the video surveillance himself, and discovered a new problem.
Matthew asked, "Captain, is he the one we're looking for?"
Luke thought thoughtfully, "Yes, if you find him, maybe you can find out the truth."
