LA Detective

Chapter 535 Missing
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 understand the law. If you cannot give a reasonable explanation, I will sue you.

I was serious. "

Luke said, "Latifa Gallo is dead."

"Come on, stop kidding."

David scolded, "fuck, who do you think you are?
We don't sleep at night, come 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. "

M'Bak Etta turned pale, and hurriedly explained, "no no no, 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 did it 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 an ex-con. "

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 left fine and I swear to God, I'm telling the truth."

"Why are you meeting at the motel?"

M'Bak 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..." M'Bak Etta lowered his head, "I really don't know what to say."

David said, "Then tell me how you killed Latifah Gallo? Maybe 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'm from the Robbery and Murder Division, and I just want to investigate the truth about Latifa Gallo's murder.

I know there may be some tricks between you, and I don't care.

I just want to find out who killed Latifa Gallo.

What you have to do now is to explain clearly the reason why the two of you met, in order to clear your suspicion, understand? "

"Is what you said true?"

"That depends on whether you cooperate?"

Mbak Etta took a deep breath, "As I said just now, Latifah Gallo is a prison guard at Rogley Prison, and I used to serve my sentence in that prison, that's how we know each other.

She was a bit pushy, but nice, and I was taken care of by her inside.

I am very grateful to her, just as I have made some money recently, I just 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."

"After you got out of prison, how many times have you met?"

"Four times, each time in the same motel, she was careful not to meet a third person.

Moreover, last time was the first time we had sex, and I was also surprised.

In fact, she is not very beautiful, far worse than my girlfriend, but it is difficult for me to reject her in that situation. "

Luke said, "Everything changes for a reason, why is she playing poker with you all of a sudden?"

"I asked, too, if she liked me.

She smiled 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 is the conflict between her and her husband?"

"I don't know, we're just playing 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 02:30, parted around 03:30."

"Where were you between 04:30 and six o'clock?"

"Sleeping in a motel, the woman was crazy, we played poker twice and 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. "

"Since you met Latifah Gallo, is there anything unusual about her?"

"No, she has always been unsmiling. She is not afraid of your jokes. In fact, I am a little afraid of her."

"Do you have any suspicions about who killed her?"

"No, actually I don't know her very well."

"What's the name of the motel you met at?"

"The Moffitt Hotel."

David warned, "We will check what you say, and you know the consequences of lying."

"I swear, everything 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 Latifah Gallo's death. "

Luke kept staring at the other party and found no obvious signs of lying. Later, Luke sent someone to the Moffett Hotel to investigate and confirmed Mbak Etta's confession.

Since M'Bak Etta was not the murderer, his words are somewhat credible.

The victim had a conflict with her husband and cheated. This is a very dangerous move, and the suspicion of the victim's husband, Alec Wyatt, has further increased.

……

the next morning.

Office of the Robbery and Murder Division.

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 waiting room. Half an hour later, he was still ignored.

Is this the norm in the police department?
After a while, there was movement outside the door, and Luke and Jackson opened 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 your Vincent travel agency and had a friendly conversation with your colleague.

Do you have anything to say? "

Alec Wyatt looked nervous, "Sorry, I don't know what that means?"

Luke got straight to the point, "According to the police's speculation, your wife was killed between 04:30 and [-]:[-] p.m. the day before yesterday.

When you were taking notes, you said that you were working in a travel agency during that period of time.

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, instead of going 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're 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 afraid that you would suspect, so I concealed this."

"Are you planning to divorce Latifah Gallo?"

"No, it was she who planned to get a divorce. She brought it up on her own initiative. I tried to get it back, but she was very firm.

I had to go to a lawyer for advice. "

Luke pressed, "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 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 according to Luke's request, "I am also very helpless when things have developed to this point..."

"You don't want to divorce her?"

"That was true in the beginning, but now... I'm not sure either."

Luke handed the note to Jackson, and continued to ask, "Tell me about the installation of the pinhole camera in the house."

"I've 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 held 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 any evidence?"

"No, it's just a guess."

"What is the basis for that?"

Alec Wyatt crossed his fingers, "I can't say it, it just feels like this.

She is used to controlling everything and arranging everything, for example, when to eat, when to go home.

She also makes all the plans if we travel together, she likes everything to be organized.

She has a strong character. "

"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. "

"Dong dong..."

The door of the lounge 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.

Then, I checked the information of the suspect vehicle. "

Name, Shelda Carr
Date of Birth, May 1999, 2

Mobile number, 714 826 7812
Address, No. 302, Salmu Community

Previous convictions, theft, robbery

License plate number, 2web328
Luke checked the car owner's information. The car owner's name was Sheldah, which was the same as the name written by the deceased, and the car 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 surveillance near the victim's house and 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 said thoughtfully, "Yes, if you find him, maybe you can find out the truth."
