Chapter 537 Freedom
Luke has been staring at Sheldah Carr without seeing obvious signs of lying. If what he said is true, then Latifah Gallo should have been killed after he left.
This is consistent with the confession of Latifah Gallo's daughter Teresa Louise.
Luke focused on time, "What time did you arrive at Latifah Gallo's house?"
Shelda Carr thought for a while, "Maybe it was three forty to three fifty, I can't remember."
"When did you leave?"
"Ten past four."
"Is there anyone else in Latifah Gallo's family during this time?"
"No."
"Has anyone contacted Latifa Gallo?"
"No."
"Think carefully, we need you to provide clues about who killed Latifah Gallo."
"I really don't know. It was also my first time to rob a prison guard's house. I was very nervous at the time, and I felt my head went stupid."
"Did you take the surveillance from Latifah Gallo's house?"
"What surveillance? Is there surveillance at her home? I don't know."
"Have you ever seen Latifah Gallo's golf clubs?"
"No, I'm not interested in that kind of thing, the old man only plays that kind of thing, I prefer confrontational, such as basketball.
I'm good at basketball. I almost made the varsity team in high school. "
Luke was not interested in his high school affairs, and continued to ask, "Are you sure you left Latifah Gallo's house before four ten?"
"Yes."
"After leaving Latifah Gallo's house?"
"I just drove away."
Luke doesn't like this guy, but his words still have some credibility. Before, Luke also checked Latifah Gallo's community surveillance, but he didn't find Sheldah Carr's car.
The reason is very simple. The time when Sheldah Carr left was not during the time of committing the crime.
The police speculated that the time of death of Latifah Gallo was between 4:30 and 6 in the afternoon.
Of course, the time of death is not equal to the time of committing the crime, and the time of committing the crime has to be pushed forward. Under normal circumstances, 4:10 will also be within the scope of police investigation.
But one of the clues allowed the police to determine the time of committing the crime after 4:40.
This clue comes from Latifah Gallo's daughter Teresa Louise. According to Teresa Louise's confession, she took the school bus home at 4:20, and everything was normal at home at that time. Latifah Gallo She was not attacked either, and afterward, she quarreled with Latifah Gallo over some trivial matter and left the house around 4:40.
According to Teresa Louise's confession, Latifah Gallo hadn't been attacked at 4:40, and the criminals would naturally not leave. This misled the police's judgment on the time of the crime, and also caused problems in the investigation of the suspect vehicle. .
Matthew also checked the surveillance at Latifah Gallo's home. The Chevrolet sedan driven by Sheldah Carr did enter the victim's community at 3:46 and left the community at 4:12, which is consistent with his statement , which means that Latifah Gallo had already been attacked at that time.
Teresa Louise lied.
Actually, Teresa Louise had time to commit the crime, but because she was the daughter of Latifah Gallo and she was still young, the police did not list her as a suspect.
Now, she lied.
Neither age nor mother-daughter relationship can be her talisman.
Afterwards, Luke arranged a task. On the one hand, he had someone to control Teresa Louise. On the other hand, he wanted to find more evidence, either to rule out Teresa Louise's suspicion of committing the crime, or to convict her.
Luke replayed the incident, assuming Teresa Louise was the murderer. When she returned home, she should have seen a bound Latifah Gallo.
She had a conflict with Latifah Gallo, killed Latifah Gallo, and took away the murder evidence and the pinhole camera.
Her next whereabouts are very important. She should be hiding evidence of the crime, and then she returns home at six o'clock to report the crime.
Luke will focus the next investigation on the whereabouts of Theresa Louise from 4:40 to 6:00. If she finds out her whereabouts during this period, perhaps some key evidence can be found.
The suspect may lie to the police if he wants to cover up the evidence, but the suspect’s words are generally true and false, so as to deceive the police.
If the suspect is talking nonsense without basis, the police can see through it at a glance.
Luke reviewed Teresa Louise's statement again. According to her, she left home at 4:40 and asked her classmates to go to a nearby community park to play.
Teresa Louise's classmates and community parks have also become the focus of the police investigation.
…
The next day.
Robbery and Murder Division, Lounge.
Alec Wyatt looked at the familiar lounge, looking a little uneasy, stood up and walked around.
In the morning, he received a call from the police. There was new progress in his wife's case, and he was asked to take his stepdaughter Teresa Louise to the police station.
He didn't know what the police were doing this time, but he always felt that there was something wrong with the way the police looked at him.
"Hey dad, can you stop walking around? You're shaking my head."
"Okay, baby." Alec Wyatt responded, and when he was about to say something, the door of the lounge was pushed open.
Alec Wyatt stood up again, "Captain Li, how is the case investigation going?"
"Not bad, we have found the murderer who killed your wife."
"Thank you, thank you so much." Alec Wyatt asked with a complicated expression, "Why did that man kill my wife?"
"Why didn't you ask her yourself? Maybe you already knew."
Alec Wyatt spread his hands, "What do you mean? You don't suspect that I have anything to do with my wife's death, do you?"
Luke stared at Alec Wyatt, "You really don't know who the murderer is?"
"I swear, I really don't know. Who the **** killed my wife?"
Luke points to Teresa Louise, "It's her."
Alec Wyatt looked along Luke's finger, and said in surprise, "Comeon, you are not joking."
"Why don't you ask her yourself?"
Alec Wyatt stared at his stepdaughter, "Theresa, what's going on?"
Teresa Louise shrugged, "It's very simple. They couldn't catch the murderer who killed my mother, so they wanted to plant it on me."
Alec Wyatt breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Luke, "Captain Li, I respect you very much.
But I still ask you to take back what you just said, that kind of accusation is too heavy for a child.
It was her mother who died, how could she be the murderer. "
Luke said, "According to our investigation, she was the only person who had been in the house during the time of the incident."
Alec Wyatt argued, "I also went to the house and it was clearly the scene of a robbery.
After Teresa came home, she went to the park with her classmates to play. It should be that time someone went in to rob. "
"No, according to our investigation, the robbery took place before Teresa returned home, and Latifah Gallo was **** by gangsters at that time.
Teresa went out to play after killing Latifah Gallo. "
Teresa Louise's eyes were red and she was crying, "How could you treat me like this, it was my mother who died, and you actually called me a murderer, how could I kill my mother.
You guys are crazy. "
Alec Wyatt also showed an angry look, "Captain Li, please withdraw the accusation just now, otherwise, I can only call a lawyer."
"Shut up, you just need to stay on the sidelines." Luke scolded, and looked at Teresa Louise across the way, "We found your classmate, and he admitted that he played with you on the day of the incident. Pass.
According to him, you met at 5:00 and separated at 5:50.
Suppose, you left home at 4:40 and only had 20 minutes to hide the evidence of the murder.
So, I'm guessing you're hiding evidence not too far away, probably in a neighborhood park.
I asked someone to take a police dog to the park to investigate, and I found some items, do you want to see it? "
Teresa Louise's face was pale, and her lips trembled violently.
Alec Wyatt looked at his stepdaughter, "Theresa, what is he talking about? Tell me, your mother's death has nothing to do with you."
"I gave you a chance."
Luke waited for a while, then took out a transparent bag from the bag beside him, which contained a **** dress, "Does this dress look familiar?"
Teresa Louise just took a look, then moved her eyes away, as if she saw something terrible.
Alec Wyatt picked up the bag to check, "This is..." He looked at Teresa Louise again, "Theresa, this is your clothes, the blood on it."
"We have done an identification, and it is your wife's blood."
Alec Wyatt stared wide-eyed, and was silent for a while, "Could it be that after my wife was injured, Teresa went to hug her and the blood was stained."
Luke shook his head, "It was wrong at the first time, if it was what you said, she would have no chance to hide the **** clothes at all, and there is no need to hide the clothes in the park.
More importantly, the blood on it was not stained, but the blood spattered by the deceased when he was hit.
This means that when your wife was killed, she was there and she was wearing this dress. "
Alec Wyatt sat on the chair weakly, grabbing his stepdaughter's shoulder, "Theresa, tell me, this is not true."
Teresa Louise glanced at Alec Wyatt, then glared at Luke fiercely.
Luke was not used to her, and continued, "We also found some other items in the park, such as pinhole cameras and USB drives, do you want to see it?"
"No, I don't want to!" Teresa Louise shouted.
"It's not up to you." Luke waved his hand.
Xiao Hei turned on a tablet computer and clicked on the playback software.
Teresa Louise waved her hand, "Don't play it, I admit it, I killed her!"
Alec Wyatt also showed a shocked look, and took two steps back, "Theresa, how can you?"
"She made me do it."
Teresa Louise had a crazy look on her face, and tears rolled down her cheeks, "That pervert installed a camera at home to monitor our every move, she treated us like prisoners, and wanted to imprison us for the rest of my life.
Only by killing her can we gain true freedom. "
