Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 392 Chamber of Secrets

   Morning of December 30th.

  Robbery and Murder Division, First Squadron Office.

  Luke held a morning meeting to gather clues for the investigation of the case.

   Mary from the technical team also attended the meeting.

  Mary took out a document and said, "Yesterday, we searched the Gray couple's house, and found large traces of processed blood in the Gray couple's house.

   These bloodstains have been treated with disinfectant water, and complete DNA cannot be extracted, only blood type O can be identified.

  The blood type of the deceased Kiru Jones is also type O.

  In addition, we also found two drops of blood suspected to be the deceased in the bedroom. These two drops of blood were relatively hidden, so they were not cleaned up in time.

  We extracted DNA from the blood, which was identified as matching the DNA of the deceased Kiru Jones. "

  Xiao Hei concluded, "In other words, the bedroom in Gray's house should be the scene where Kiru Jones was killed."

  Mary said, "I'm just stating the evidence and identification results of the crime scene. As for whether it's a murder scene, you need to judge for yourself."

  Luke connected the situation in the bedroom with the clues of the case. Although it is not completely certain that the bedroom in Gray's house is the murder scene, the existing evidence points to this point, and the probability is extremely high.

  Luke asked, "Have you found the address of the Gray family's vacation home in the suburbs?"

  Jenny said, "Yes, we checked the real estate records under their names. Mr. Gray does have a real estate in the suburbs of Los Angeles, which is probably the vacation house that the neighbors said."

  If the Grays are really the murderers, then the suburban vacation home is likely to be another stronghold for them, and some evidence of the case may also be left there.

  Luke immediately led the team to the suburban vacation home.

  …

  Suburbs of Los Angeles.

  Olive villa area.

  It is located near the seaside, with beautiful scenery. Many houses are built on the middle of the mountain. You can see the sea from the yard of your own villa. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea like a fairyland.

  Many rich people will come here to stay for a few days on vacation to enjoy the scenery and tranquility of the holiday.

Luke led the team to Gray's vacation home, which covers a large area, and the yard is surrounded by vegetation. There are also two tall palm trees, a massage swimming pool, and various flowers and plants in the yard. , very comfortable and quiet.

  Luke walked to the gate of the yard and pressed the video doorbell, but there was no response after pressing it a few times.

  Afterwards, Luke took out his pistol, waved his hand and told the team members behind him, "Be careful.

   Raymond led people to search the yard.

  The others followed me to search the interior of the villa. "

   "Yes, sir."

  The outside of the yard is surrounded by a wooden fence that is only one meter high, and everyone can easily climb into the yard.

  Xiao Hei took out the lock-picking toolbox and opened the door of the villa.

  Porter was the first to rush into the villa with a gun.

  The villa is very quiet, no movement can be heard, and the slight footsteps of the team members can be heard faintly.

   Soon everyone searched the living room on the first floor, "It's safe."

"Safety."

"Safety."

   Everyone searched the villa separately, but no trace of anyone was found.

  Luke checked the dining room and bedroom, and found that there were traces of living here, and there were still food and leftover red wine on the table.

  Two wine glasses, two cutlery.

   The food on the table has not rotted yet, indicating that it has not been a long time since the last meal.

   "Search the villa carefully to see if the suspect has left any clues." Luke went to the garage. If the Grays wanted to escape, they would definitely drive away.

  Luke had someone check it before, and the Grays had three cars under their name, a sedan, an SUV, and a pickup truck.

  Among them, Mrs. Gray only found a car in the house in Los Angeles, and it stands to reason that the other two cars are likely to be placed in the vacation home.

  Luke walked into the garage to check. There was only one pickup truck in the garage, but no SUV under the name of Mrs. Gray was found.

  Porter shouted, "Captain, we found a secret room in the villa, and there seems to be a voice inside."

  Luke returned to the villa and walked to the door of the secret room under the leadership of Potter.

  The door of the secret room is hidden under the carpet. It is difficult to find if you do not search carefully. When you lift the carpet, you can see a secret door that is one person high and 80 centimeters wide. When you open the secret door, there are stairs below.

  Luke took the flashlight and shone down, and walked down the stairs. There was a door inside, and there was a faint whining sound.

  Luke leaned against the door and listened carefully, like someone calling for help after being gagged.

  He looked at Xiao Hei and asked, "Can you open the door?"

  Xiao Hei patted the dark blue iron door, "It will take some time."

  Luke glanced down at his watch, "I'll give you ten minutes, if you can't open it, just use the door breaker."

"let me try."

  Xiao Hei took out the lockpicking tool and started fiddling again. It actually took longer to open the door this time than the villa door.

   A few minutes passed.

   There was a crisp sound of "click!"

  The lock was unlocked, Xiao Hei touched the sweat on his head, and moved aside, "I have to rest, I'll leave it to you."

  Porter kicked open the iron door, and Jackson was the first to rush in with a gun, "lapd!"

   "Police, don't move!"

  Porter, Luke and others followed closely behind. The secret room was not large in size and was brightly lit by the flashlight.

  In the secret room, a white woman in wine-red pajamas was sitting in a corner, her hands and feet were handcuffed, her mouth was sealed with tape, and her long legs were exposed.

   There is no one else in the room, and there is a safe and an ordinary wooden cabinet.

   "Woooo..." The white woman struggled even harder.

  Jenny also entered the secret room and helped her untie the tape on her mouth, "Woooo..." the white woman cried loudly, "

  God, I thought I was going to die.

  Thank you guys for saving me, thank you.

  What about my husband? "

  Luke approached and comforted, "Ma'am, you don't have to be nervous, we are lapd, you have been saved.

   Who imprisoned you here? "

"I have no idea…

  I woke up like this. "

   "What happened before you passed out?"

   "I'm at a restaurant, dining with my husband, we've had a little wine, and we're talking about a Christmas party…

   Then, I felt dizzy.

  He helped me to the bedroom to rest, and then I didn't know anything.

   Where is my husband?

  How is he now? "

   "Ma'am, we didn't find your husband."

"what does that mean?

   Did something happen to him too? "

   "We are temporarily unsure and are looking for him."

   "It's terrible, I thought I was going to die! Woohoo..." The white woman cried again.

  Luke took her to the living room and changed the environment. The white woman's mood stabilized a little.

  Jenny poured her a glass of water, and she picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp, "Can I have another glass? Thank you."

  Jenny nodded and turned to pour water.

   Luke asked, "Ma'am, what day were you unconscious?"

   "December 29th, we will have dinner at six o'clock in the evening."

  Luke counted, and the time was not long, only 18 hours had passed.

   "Ma'am, what's your name?"

   "Georgia Gray."

   "Is Gray your husband's last name?"

   "Yes, my husband's name is Ariel Gray."

   "Did you come here together?"

"Yes."

   "When did you come?"

   "Come on the morning of December 18."

   "When did you decide to come to the vacation house?"

   "We made a decision a long time ago, and on December 16, we even had someone clean the room."

   "How did you get here?"

   "Come by car."

   "What car?"

"Porsche Cayenne."

   "Where is the car?"

"garage."

  Luke didn't see this Porsche Cayenne in the garage, so it should have been driven away.

   Judging from the current situation, it is likely that her husband Ariel Gray drove the car away.

  Luke changed the subject, "Do you know Kiru Jones?"

  Georgia Gray took the water glass with both hands, took a big sip, "Yes, he is my piano teacher."

   "When was the last time you saw him?"

  Georgia Gray took another sip of water, "It seems to be the day before I came here, December 17th."

   "When did you meet?"

"night."

"What time is it?"

   "It's been more than ten days, I can't remember.

  Why are you asking about him?

   Did he have anything to do with my coma? "

   Luke stared at her expression and said, "He's dead."

  Georgia Gray opened his mouth wide, showing a shocked look, "Dead!"

Very fake.

  The shocked expression was slightly delayed.

  Based on Luke's experience, this shocked expression of hers is fake, not from the heart.

   "You didn't know he was dead?"

"have no idea."

   "Did you not contact him during this time?"

   "Contacted, but not available.

  How did he die? "

   "He was shot."

   "My God, it's terrible." Georgia Gray closed her eyes and put her hands to her cheeks.

   "What do you think about the death of Kiru Jones?"

  Georgia Gray sighed, "He's a good guy, he's still young, it's a shame."

   "Then why did you kill him?"

   "What? What do you mean? What do you mean I want to kill him?" Georgia Gray's eyes widened, showing a look of panic.

   "We have been to your house and found a lot of blood stains in your house. Although it has been treated with disinfectant water, the blood stains cannot be completely removed.

  The blood found in your home matches the DNA of Kiru Jones exactly.

  So, we are not here to rescue you, but to catch you. "

  "No, his death has nothing to do with me, I...will not kill him.

  I like him very much, how could I kill him. "

   "But now the fact is that he died in your home, your bedroom to be exact."

   "My God, why is this?" Georgia Gray burst into tears again.

   "Georgia Gray, we've got enough evidence that there's no point in running away.

  If you can tell the truth, I can consider getting you a favorable plea agreement. "

   "No, his death has nothing to do with me!"

   "There is proof from neighbors that gunshots were heard from your house that night."

   "I didn't shoot that!" Georgia Gray blurted out, his lips trembling, and he choked up, "It really wasn't me."

"Who is that?"

   Jenny encouraged, "Georgia Gray, we rescued you from the Chamber of Secrets, we didn't come to harm you.

   We can only help you if you tell the truth. "

  Georgia Gray took a deep breath, "It's my husband."

  Luke confirmed, "Ariel Gray killed Kiru Jones?"

"Yes."

   "Why did your husband kill Kiru Jones?"

  Georgia Gray rested her forehead with her right hand, "I...

   Kiru Jones was more than just my piano teacher.

  No, I really wanted to learn piano at first, but in the process of learning... we two often get along alone, and he taught me hand in hand...

   Then, some subtle changes took place in our relationship.

  One day, he asked me to resign.

  I was surprised and asked him why?

  He refused to say at first, only that he had to leave.

   After my repeated questioning, he told me that he fell in love with me! Tears rolled down Georgia Gray's eyes, "I also fell in love with him unknowingly, I know it's wrong, but I want to see him."

   didn't want him to leave.

   Then, the two of us are together. "

   "How long have you two been together?"

"It's been about a month since we were officially together." Georgia Gray wiped away tears, "Because my husband and I planned to come here for vacation on the 18th, on the night of the 17th he had a drink with his friends, and I made an appointment with Kiru Jones Let's practice piano together.

   But... we didn't get it under control...

  My husband came back early and saw the two of us together.

  He was mad.

   Then, pull a gun out of the drawer...

   shot, he only fired one shot..."

  Georgia Gray became more emotional, "I regret it.

  If it weren't for me, this matter would not have become like this.

   Kiru Jones would not have died.

  My husband would not kill in a rage.

  It’s all because of me…”

  Luke asked, "How did you deal with the murder?"

   "At first I wanted to call the police...

   But my husband disagreed, he begged me, saying he didn't want to go to jail, he didn't want to die.

  He knelt down to me...it broke me.

   This is all my fault.

   Kiru Jones is dead.

  I don't want another accident to happen to my husband.

   I am sorry for him.

  I did not choose to call the police, but disposed of the body with him. "

   "How did you deal with it?"

"We loaded the body into the car and planned to bury the body near Highway 1, but both of us were terrified at the time. When we arrived, we found that we didn't bring a shovel, and there was no way to dig a hole. We were afraid of being discovered. I didn't dare to stay for a long time, so I could only cover the corpse with some vegetation."

   "You also went to the corpse throwing site?"

"Yes."

   "What shoes are you wearing?"

   "Leather shoes."

   "Why do you wear leather shoes?"

   "I was wearing high heels, but they couldn't go down the slope, so I changed into Kiru Jones leather shoes.

   I know this is not the right thing to do, but my husband keeps begging me.

  I can't decide. "

  Luke wrote it down in his notebook, which is consistent with the content of the footprint identification.

   "Where did you hide Kiru Jones' clothes, cell phone, shoes, and the pistol that killed Kiru Jones?"

   "I don't know, those are handled by my husband."

   "Which vehicle did you use to move the corpse?"

"Porsche Cayenne."

   "Where is the car?"

   "Should be in the garage."

   "Where is your husband?"

   "I don't know, I told you, I passed out..."

   "Then have you ever wondered why you fainted?"

  Georgia Gray covered her mouth with her hands, "Could it be him?

  How could he do this to me? "

   "Yesterday, did your husband have any abnormalities?"

   "Since that incident, he has been depressed and preoccupied.

me too.

  Yesterday afternoon, he received a phone call...

   Then, his face became ugly.

  I asked him what happened?

  He said it was a matter of work, so I don't have to worry about it.

   Then, dinner and red wine were prepared..." Georgia Gray said, as if he understood, "Did he really stun me?

Why did he do this?

Why? "

   Luke had some guesses in his mind. Yesterday the police went to search Gray's house in Los Angeles, and visited the surrounding neighbors. It is very likely that a good neighbor contacted Ariel Gray.

  Ariel Gray learned that the police had tracked down his home, worried that his murder would be exposed, so he stunned his wife and took the opportunity to escape.
