LA Detective

Chapter 560 Confession
Luke contacted Matthew and asked him to check the road monitoring along the Dolittle community to find out the route of the black Chevy sedan.

At the same time, mark the car wash locations along the way, especially the self-service car wash.

Luke guessed that the person who washed the car was probably Thomas Corley, and the reason was very simple, either because he washed off his own traces, or the place where the body was dumped made the car dirty.

The police used the road monitoring of the car and the surrounding car wash shops to mark several possible locations for dumping the body.

Subsequently, the police divided into three groups to search for Walda Baker's body separately.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, in a forest a few kilometers away from Thomas Corley's house.

Several police cars stopped on the side of the road, and Xiao Hei and Potter also got out of the cars.

This is the second possible body dumping site searched by Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei simply arranged the search plan, which is mainly divided into two aspects, one is artificial search, to see if there are new excavation places around.

One aspect is to have the police dogs search for the scent or blood of Walda Baker.

After Marcus arranged the task, he also led a group of people to search.

Marcus has been a detective for a while, and he has matured visibly with the naked eye. Of course, it may have something to do with him becoming a father.

Marcus's search speed was not fast, as Luke had told him. Walda Baker was dead and he couldn't run away. It didn't matter if he was slower, but the search must be careful. If clues were missed, the investigation would be delayed.

He has always been convinced of his good partner Xiao Hei, and he naturally heard his words in his heart.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

There was a bark of dogs not far away, "Inspector, there is a discovery here."

Xiao Hei walked over quickly and saw a Beagle lying on the ground digging the soil. The soil was a new layer of soil, which obviously showed signs of being turned over.

"Inspector Marcus, there may be suspicious items down here."

Marcus nodded, beckoning someone to dig with a shovel.

The handler pulled the beagle aside and gave him a handful of kibble.

Two strong police officers were digging together, and due to the loose soil, the digging speed was very fast. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Xiao Hei smelled a faint smell of blood.

"Dig it!"

A patrolman yelled, and Xiao Hei leaned over to check.

I saw that the patrolman peeled away the soil layer above, revealing a piece of brown hair with blood stains on it. It was a little Teddy who had just died.

Everyone was a little disappointed.

"Poor little guy, we didn't mean to disturb you." Xiao Hei sighed and waved his hand, "Bury it."

The patrolman took a shovel and refilled the hole with the surrounding soil, and the soil spilled on Teddy.

Xiao Hei always feels that something is wrong, isn't it just a coincidence?

"Wait, get Teddy's body out and continue digging down."

The dog handler reminded, "Inspector Marcus, the police dog will also call the police when it smells the dead body of a Teddy dog."

Xiao Hei didn't answer, "Keep digging."

The two patrolmen looked at each other and could only continue to dig down.

After a while, a patrolman's shovel seemed to have dug up something. He poked open the soil layer above and found a black bag. Suddenly, everyone around became excited.

The two patrolmen continued to dig and dug out the entire black bag. Xiao Hei put on gloves and opened the bag. It was a male corpse.

Walda Baker.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The Office of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Luke called a meeting of the people.

The deputy team took out a document, "Let me talk first.

Yesterday, I took someone to the news department of cbs TV station to investigate.

I also got the report letter from the director of the news department. The content of the report letter is similar to the news broadcast, and the whistleblower signed the deceased Rochel Horn.

The investigation of this letter is mainly in two aspects, one is the authenticity of the letter, and the other is the identity of the sender.

The letter was delivered by Parcel courier, I contacted the courier and gave him a note.

The place where the letter was sent was the crime scene of the deceased Rochel Horn. In addition, I asked the courier to identify the photo, and it was indeed the letter delivered by Rochel Horn himself.

After that, I met Rochel Horn's family again, and according to Rochel Horn's wife, the letter looked like Rochel Horn's handwriting.

I have taken some of Rochel Horn's personal letters from Rochel Horn's home, and have sent them to the technical team for identification of the notes. I believe the results will be available soon. "

The deputy team concluded, "From the current situation, there is a high probability that this letter was mailed by Rochel Horn.

As for whether the illegal human experimentation described in the letter is true, I did not investigate and let the relevant departments worry about it. "

Jackson said, "Many people like conspiracy theories, such as the Rothschild family controlling America, the moon landing was fake, etc.

Now that Rochelle Horn is dead, even if Kallman Pharmaceuticals has not done illegal human experiments, even if the relevant departments have clarified.

Some people still won't believe it.

On the contrary, they will feel that the government department is helping to cover up, and there must be a shady scene. "

"Come on, we are only in charge of investigating cases, and let Kallman Pharmaceuticals worry about these matters." Xiao Hei interrupted Jackson, smiling, "Guys, I have something important to announce.

I found the body of Walda Baker. "

Jackson curled his lips, "Congratulations, Inspector, you are lucky."

Xiao Hei shook his right index finger, "No no no, this is not just luck, Thomas Corley is very cunning, he put a dead dog on top of the corpse, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably miss it.

I discovered the problem, and asked someone to remove the dog's body and continue digging, only to find Walda Baker's body..."

The deputy team interrupted him, "Come on boy, let's stay in the bar to talk about showing off.

All I want to know now is if there is any evidence of the murderer found around the body. "

"Of course." Xiao Hei flipped through the information, "According to the forensic examination, the time of Walda Baker's death was around one o'clock in the morning yesterday, and the fatal injury was a strangle mark on his neck.

To be precise, he was strangled to death by a belt, the DNA of the deceased was detected in the middle of the belt, and the DNA of Thomas Corley was detected on both sides of the belt. "Xiao Hei made a gesture of strangling his neck, "It is certain that he is the murderer. "

The deputy team nodded and praised, "Very good, you have done a good job, kid."

Xiao Hei showed a smug look, "I have a feeling that I will be Marcus's vice-team soon, haha."

Deputy team "..."

……

trial room.

It was Luke and Xiao Hei who were in charge of the interrogation. Thomas Corley was brought into the interrogation room while the two were sorting out the case information.

Xiao Hei greeted with a familiar smile, "Hey buddy, how did you sleep last night?"

Thomas Corley curled his lips, "The bed is very hard and has a sour smell, but I slept soundly."

Xiao Hei said, "If you don't do anything wrong, you will naturally sleep soundly. If you had already realized this, you wouldn't need us to spend so much time investigating the case."

Thomas Corley said disdainfully, "When you watch TV, don't you take a small notebook to extract the lines?

This rhetoric sucks. "

Luke was not interested in the malnourished conversation between the two, and interrupted, "We found Walda Baker's body."

Thomas Corley's face immediately froze, as if he was a little absent-minded.

Xiao Hei added, "To be exact, I found it."

Thomas Corley was silent for a moment, slowly raised his head, and frowned, "How did he die? When did he die?"

Xiao Hei pointed at Thomas Corley, "That's up to you, murderer!"

"No, I didn't even know he was dead, let alone kill him." Thomas Corley said with wide eyes, "come on, I've had enough of your groundless accusations."

Xiao Hei seemed to be watching a play, and said with a smile, "Your acting skills are good, haha.

But it's useless, we've found Walda Baker's body, and by the way, a poor little Teddy. "

Thomas Corley sighed, and sat down on the chair somewhat slumped. Before, he held a little luck, thinking that the police were bluffing him, but now he knew that the police had indeed found Walda Baker's body.

After a long silence, he took another deep breath, "Even if you find Walda Baker's body, it has nothing to do with me. I didn't kill anyone."

Luke pulled out a photo of a brown leather belt, "Does this look familiar?"

Thomas Corley glanced at the photo, then looked away.

Luke continued, "After forensic identification, this belt is the murder weapon that killed Walda Baker, he was strangled.

And your DNA was found on both sides of the belt, which is enough to prove that you are the murderer who strangled Walda Baker.

No more trying to quibble, it's useless. "

Thomas Corley snorted and stared at Luke, "I shouldn't have been in the yard at the time, if I wasn't there, maybe you wouldn't be able to find me.

I can't even figure it out now, how did you notice that I have a problem? "

Luke didn't answer, but asked instead, "You kidnapped minors, you were also suspected of setting fire to the Kallman company building, and now you killed Walda Baker.

By the way, there is also Rochelle Horne, you killed him too.

Why do you do this? "

Thomas Corley sighed, "It's a long story, can I have a cigarette?"

Luke nodded, motioning for Xiao Hei to hand him a cigarette.

"Thank you." Thomas Corley took a sip of the lit cigarette, "This incident probably started ten years ago. At that time, I was about the same age as Rochelle Horn, and our experiences were very different. resemblance.

I'm unemployed, I have a wife and kids to support, and I need money.

I sent in a lot of resumes, but there was no response. I also wandered on the street at one time and met some homeless people.

Later, someone handed out leaflets to homeless people. I was a little surprised at that time, who would hand out leaflets to homeless people.

After reading it, I realized that it was Kallman Pharmaceuticals who was recruiting drug testers.

That's right, I used to be a drug tester for Kallman Pharmaceuticals, and they paid me very well.

I really needed the money so I went for it. "

Thomas Corley wiped his eyes and laughed to himself, "I can't remember when was the last time I cried?

I know that the job of a drug tester is dangerous, so I have never given up looking for a job while working as a drug tester.

About four months later, I found a new job that I cherish and put in a lot of hard work.

My work and life are also back on track.

However, three years later, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for examination and found that I had liver disease.

At the beginning, the doctor said that it could be cured if it was discovered in time, but in the past few years, my disease has become more and more serious, and it has developed to the advanced stage of liver cancer.

The doctor was also very puzzled, thinking that this situation was very rare, and asked about my past experience in detail.

After learning that I had worked as a drug tester at Kalman Pharmaceuticals, he felt that the deterioration of my disease might be related to this experience.

I am angry.

Over the years, due to illness, I was unable to work normally, and my temper was very violent. My wife left me with my children.

I have nothing left.

Do you think I shouldn't take revenge? "

Luke asked, "You think Kallman Pharmaceuticals is responsible for all this?"

"Kalman Pharmaceuticals is the direct cause, as well as the damn system of drug testers. This job shouldn't exist at all. I want to change everything."

"Tell me about your crime plan and process?"

Thomas Corley stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, "I knew that I couldn't do it alone, so I found Walda Baker, this guy is mercenary, as long as he gives enough Money is easily bought.

With the help of Walda Baker, I found Rochelle Horn again. He was very similar to me back then. He was unemployed and had to support a family, so he had to become a drug tester. I understand the thinking of such a person.

It's pathetic and sad. "

Luke took advantage of the situation and asked, "How did Rochelle Horn die?"

"He committed suicide."

"Why did he commit suicide?"

"He owed a lot of usury due to gambling, and even if he was a drug tester, he still couldn't pay it off, and the interest rate would only increase.

The poor life of the past six months has almost crushed him. He is very tired and wants to rest.

I told him that he is now a drug tester of Kallman Pharmaceuticals, and if the death is caused by drugs, Kallman Pharmaceuticals will compensate a large sum of money.

In addition, I may promise to give his family a large sum of money.

In this way, his family's life will be settled, and he will no longer have to work as hard as before.

Some good married men are really boring, they have lost the joy of life and live more because of responsibility.

Such was the case with Rochelle Horn.

There was no way ahead of him, and he didn't want to disappoint his family, so he agreed.

I have to admit that he was brave at the last moment. There are many people like him, but few people dare to take this step. "

Luke asked, "How much did you pay Rochelle Horn?"

"$20, that's all my money, and I even mortgaged my house to get that money."

"Where is that money?"

"I don't know, maybe Rochelle Horn hid it somewhere, or gave it to his family.

He deserves that money and I'm not going to cheat a poor guy like me.

Instead, I do it to save more people like me. "
