LA Detective

Chapter 537 Freedom
Luke kept staring at Shelda Carr, seeing no obvious signs of lying, and if what he said was 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 exactly."

"When did you leave?"

"Ten past four."

"Is there anyone else in Latifah Gallo's family during this time?"

"No."

"Has anyone contacted Latifah Gallo?"

"No."

"If you think about it 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 like my head was gone."

"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 more confrontational things, such as basketball.

I was so good at basketball that 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."

"What about after Latifah Gallo's?"

"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 simple, the time when Sheldah Carr left was not when the crime was committed.

Police speculate that the time of Latifah Gallo's death was between 04:30 and [-]:[-] pm.

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, [-]:[-] will also be within the scope of the police's investigation.

But one of the clues allowed the police to determine the time of committing the crime after [-]:[-].

This clue comes from Latifah Gallo's daughter Teresa Louise. According to Teresa Louise's confession, she took the school bus home at [-]:[-], 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 [-]:[-].

According to Teresa Louise's confession, Latifah Gallo hadn't been attacked at [-]:[-], 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 46:[-] and left the community at [-]:[-], which is consistent with his statement and also That is to say, Latifah Gallo had already been attacked at that time.

Teresa Louise lied.

In fact, 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 were her talismans.

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 the evidence of the crime, and then return home to report the crime at six o'clock.

Luke focused his next investigation on Teresa Louise's whereabouts from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-]. If he could figure out her whereabouts during this period, he might be able to find some key evidence.

Suspects may lie to the police if they want to cover up evidence, but the suspect's words are generally true and false, so as to deceive the police.

If the suspect is talking nonsense without any basis, the police can see through it at a glance.

Luke checked Teresa Louise's statement again. According to her, she left home at [-]:[-], and she 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 police investigations.

……

The next day.

Robbery and Murder Division, Lounge.

Alec Wyatt looked at the familiar lounge, looked a little uneasy, stood up and walked around.

In the morning, he received a call from the police. There had been new developments 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.

Luke, Jackson, and Xiao Hei walked into the lounge.

Alec Wyatt stood up again, "Captain Li, how is the case investigation going?"

"Not bad, we have found the murderer of 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? Perhaps you already knew."

Alec Wyatt spread his hands, "What do you mean? Don't you still suspect that I have something to do with my wife's death?"

Luke stared at Alec Wyatt. "You really don't know who the murderer is?"

"I swear, I really don't know. Who the hell killed my wife?"

Luke points to Teresa Louise. "It's her."

Alec Wyatt looked along Luke's fingers, and said in surprise, "Come on, are you kidding me?"

"Why don't you ask her yourself?"

Alec Wyatt stared at his stepdaughter, "What the hell is going on, Teresa?"

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 at 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 returned home, she went to the park with her classmates to play. It should be at that time that someone went in to rob. "

"No, according to our investigation, the robbery took place before Teresa returned home, when Latifah Gallo was tied up by gangsters.

Teresa only went out to play after she killed 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 are absolutely insane. "

Alec Wyatt also showed an angry look, "Captain Li, please retract the accusation just now, otherwise, I can only call a lawyer."

"Shut up, you just need to stay on the sidelines." Luke scolded, looking at Teresa Louise across the way, "We found your classmate, he admitted to playing with you on the day of the incident Pass.

According to him, you met at [-]:[-] and separated at [-]:[-].

Suppose, you leave home at 10:[-] and only have [-] minutes to hide the evidence of 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, "Teresa, 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 bloody 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, "Teresa, this is your clothes, the blood on it."

"We've done an identification, and it's your wife's blood."

Alec Wyatt's eyes widened, and he 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 bloody clothes at all, and there is no need to hide the clothes in the park.

More importantly, the blood on it was not stained, it was the blood spattered by the deceased when he was hit.

This means that your wife was there when she was killed and she was wearing this dress. "

Alec Wyatt sat on the chair weakly, clutching his stepdaughter's shoulder, "Theresa, tell me, this is not true."

Teresa Louise glanced at Alec Wyatt, then glared fiercely at Luke.

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 yelled.

"It's not up to you." Luke waved.

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 frantic 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. "
