Los Angeles Detective Chapter 130

  Chapter 130 Confession (two chapters in one)

   Police Detective Agency.

trial room.

  Elizabeth was handcuffed on the interrogation chair, with an angry look on her face and hatred in her eyes.

  Susan, Luke and others are watching her through the one-way glass in the observation room.

  Susan asked, "Do you think she is the murderer?"

  Luke said, "According to the confession of the assistant director Klapo Shino, Abu Guerra was with a young woman on the night of his death. She was white, with brown hair, and big silver earrings. She fit all the criteria.

   In addition, her arm has bite marks, which is the same as our previous speculation.

   There is a great possibility that she is the murderer. "

  Susan asked, "Are you sure she will confess?"

  Luke has also thought about this issue. The police now have three pieces of evidence. The first is the eyewitness Klapo Shino, who provided clues to Elizabeth.

  Second, the victim suspected of leaving tooth marks on the murderer before his death.

  Third, the suspected murderer's blood was found in the victim's mouth.

  These three points refer to the important evidence of the suspect.

   But the problem now is that these three points of evidence have not been verified, and we need to wait for the identification results.

   There is a more important problem, the lack of key incriminating evidence.

   It was a prop dagger that killed Abu Guerra, and the fingerprints on it had been wiped off.

  The previous three points of evidence can only prove that Elizabeth and the deceased met and had conflicts, but cannot prove that she killed the victim.

   This is also the biggest problem facing the interrogation.

  Luke thought about it carefully and divided the interrogation into two stages.

  The first stage is routine.

  When the suspect relaxed her vigilance, let her say some confessions that could be proven to be false, resulting in inconsistencies in the confession.

  Second stage plea.

  After the appraisal results came out, Luke presented all the evidence, forcing the other party to accept the prosecution and defense deal, and voluntarily pleaded guilty.

  If neither of these two methods are effective, you can only choose the most stupid method, collect more evidence, form a more complete chain of evidence, and ask the judge and jury to convict in court.

  After hearing Luke's thoughts, Susan pinched her forehead, "Go to the interrogation, I will let the technical department compare Elizabeth's DNA to see if it is the same as the blood found on the deceased's teeth."

   "Yes, captain."

  With Susan's words, Luke has a bottom line in his heart.

   "Crackling..." Luke and Xiao Hei walked into the interrogation room.

  In addition to Elizabeth, there was another Caucasian woman in her forties, her mother.

  Elizabeth trembled, her angry expression turned into panic, and choked up, "Why did you do this to me? The last time I applied for a driver's license, I was targeted at me, and now it's like this again?

   How did I offend you? "

  Luke smiled and said, "Elizabeth, this is the police department. We only catch serious criminals. Put away your pity. It can only be regarded as pediatrics here."

  Elizabeth's mother glared at Luke and Xiao Hei, "Why did you arrest my daughter? Give me a reasonable reason."

"May I have your name?"

   "My name is Seema Linton, and I am Elizabeth's mother. Tell me now, why are you arresting my daughter?"

   "We suspect that Elizabeth is suspected of participating in a murder case. This is the arrest warrant." Luke showed the follow-up arrest procedures.

  Seema Linton looked at the arrest warrant, "This is impossible. What evidence do you have that my daughter is related to the murder?"

   "The wound on her arm is the evidence," Luke pointed to Elizabeth's arm, "how did it hurt?"

  Elizabeth rolled her eyes, "It was bitten by a dog."

  Luke laughed. The more false she said, the easier it is to cause logical errors before and after the testimony. The more ironic it will be in the ears of the jury, the greater the possibility of conviction.

   "Bite by what dog?"

  Elizabeth rolled her eyes, "It was night and it was very dark, and I didn't see what kind of dog it was. I was so frightened that I just ran away."

  Luke said, "When you were first brought into the police station, there were personnel from the technical department to help you check the wound.

  Your wound was not bitten by a dog at all, but by a human, which **** as an excuse. "

  Elizabeth argued unreasonably, "What if it was bitten by a human? It was too dark at the time, and I couldn't see whether it was a human or a dog.

   And in my eyes, some people are no different from dogs. "

  Luke shrugged, "I'm sure the jury will love your reasoning."

  Seema Linton said, "Inspector, is it too arbitrary to say that my daughter is the murderer just based on the wound on her arm?

  How do I feel that Elizabeth was bitten, she is the victim. "

  Luke didn't bother to pay attention to her sophistry, "Elizabeth, I want to ask a few questions related to the case. As long as you answer honestly, you can prove your innocence."

"go ahead."

   "Where were you between 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. on April 25th?"

  Elizabeth pursed her lips, "It's been more than a week, I can't remember."

   "It's okay, you take your time, we are not in a hurry."

  Seema held her daughter's hand and encouraged, "Baby, think about it carefully, this is very important to you."

  Elizabeth lowered her head, "I really can't remember."

  Luke wrote down in his notebook, "Second question, have you ever been to the shooting scene of the missing lover?"

"No."

   "The third question, have you contacted the disappearing lover crew?"

"No."

  Luke took out a picture of the deceased Abu Guerra, "Have you seen him?"

"No."

  Elizabeth still categorically denied it, but there were more sweat stains on her forehead, making her look even more nervous.

"Elizabeth, since we arrested you, we have enough evidence. Since you have this attitude, I don't think there is any need to talk about it. See you in court." Luke has reached the goal of the first stage. Elizabeth's questions Obviously lying, got up and left the interrogation room.

  Elizabeth's mother was anxious, "Inspector, please wait a moment. My daughter is just answering the questions normally, and I think her attitude is fine."

  Luke stares at her. "You really believe she's innocent."

   "Yes, I trust her."

   "That means you don't know her well."

  Seema Linton said sincerely, "It's you who don't know, I am her mother, watching her grow up, no one knows her better than me.

  As a mother, I beg you to find out the matter as soon as possible and return my daughter to her innocence. "

   "OK.

  For your sake, I can give her another chance.

  I will ask again tomorrow morning. Now, you have a good talk with her. "Luke finished, turned and left.

   "My daughter is not guilty!" Seema Linton shouted.

the next day.

  The identification report of the Technical Department came out.

  Elizabeth's DNA was the same as the blood found in the deceased's mouth.

  The teeth marks on Elizabeth's arms match those of the deceased.

  These two pieces of evidence are Luke's confidence.

  At ten o'clock in the morning, Luke interrogated Elizabeth again, and her mother was still by her side.

   As soon as it came up, Luke was still yesterday's problem.

   "Elizabeth, where were you between 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. on April 25th?"

   "I can't remember."

   "Have you ever been to the Gone Girl filming site?"

"No."

   "Lies.

  On the night of April 25th, a witness saw you at the shooting scene, and he would be happy to identify you in court. "

  Elizabeth's face was a little ugly.

  Luke took out the picture of the deceased Abu Guerra again, "Look at it again, have you seen him?"

  Elizabeth did not answer immediately this time, but hesitated for a moment, "No."

   "Lies.

  After the identification of the technical department, the wound on your arm matches the tooth marks of the deceased. How could you not have seen him?

  Why lie? "

  Elizabeth bowed her head in silence.

  Seema Linton argued, "Inspector Luke, there are many people who look alike in this world, and there may be people with similar tooth marks.

  Besides, the wound on my daughter's arm is almost healed, so the identification result may not be accurate. "

  Luke took out the DNA test report again, "We found your daughter's blood in the mouth of the deceased. How can this be explained? This must not be a coincidence."

  Luke said while sorting out the report, "Ms. Seema, we have a lot of evidence in our hands, which is enough to convict Elizabeth without interrogation.

  I think she is young, and I am willing to give her a chance.

  She lied again and again, I am very disappointed.

  I don't think there's any need to talk anymore, see you in court. Luke stood up and made a gesture to leave, "Just to remind you, the prosecution will charge Elizabeth with a felony of first-degree murder."

  Under California law, juveniles are judged as adults for serious crimes.

   You should know what this means. "

   "Wait." Seema stopped Luke, "What if, I mean if, we pleaded guilty?"

  Luke replied, "If Elizabeth is willing to plead guilty, the police can consider prosecuting her with second-degree murder. Coupled with her status as a minor, the sentence will be much lighter."

  Seema Linton glanced at her daughter and grabbed Luke's arm, as if afraid that he would run away, "Can we think about it?"

   "Give you a minute to think about it."

   "Too short, please give us more time."

   "Only a minute." Luke started looking at his watch.

  Seema Linton walked to her daughter and persuaded her in a low voice.

  Elizabeth looked very excited, sobbing softly.

   Luke urged, "I'm leaving."

   "Wait..." Elizabeth called to Luke, her eyes were red and her face was pale, "I...I plead guilty."

  Luke breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back at the interrogation table, "You admit to killing Abu Guerra?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

   "He lied to me."

   "Cheated you money?"

   "Tricked me into playing poker with him."

  Xiao Hei was very interested in this, and rushed to say, "Describe the incident."

  Elizabeth began to recall the incident.

  Elizabeth is a fan of Courtney. She knew that Courtney was filming on the set, so she wanted to ask Courtney for an autograph with the attitude of chasing stars.

  At that time, it was already very late.

  The crew is having a meal near the filming site, because there are no residents nearby, the music is playing louder, and the atmosphere is great.

  Elizabeth is just at the age that loves to play. She wants to mix in the party of the crew, thinking that she may meet a star at the party, and she may even be photographed by the director or producer, and she can become a star herself.

  She is at the age of chasing dreams, and she thinks very well.

  However, as soon as he approached the crew, he was stopped by the staff, and the two sides clashed.

   At this moment, a tall and handsome man helped her out. Although it was dark, she still recognized him, Lucas, the protagonist of the missing lover.

  She read the news and knew that the other party was filming a scene with Courtney. The two should be familiar with each other.

  Elizabeth stepped forward to thank her, and the two chatted.

  Lucas also invited her to visit the filming site, and had the opportunity to spend time with big stars, she readily agreed.

   At first, the two were talking about Courtney, and then they started talking about movies.

  Lucas has a wealth of experience in filming and is also very good at chatting, chatting about some interesting stories and hardships in the filming process, and Elizabeth was quickly attracted by him.

  He is mature, attractive, and rich.

  At her age, she has no resistance to stars, and dreams of becoming Cinderella every night.

  She has also seen a film by Lucas, Brazil Lover, and she thinks she has a certain understanding of Lucas.

  Lucas also took a bottle of red wine from the camp, and the two went to the cabin on the shooting site to drink and chat, and the atmosphere was getting better and better.

  Lucas was very sophisticated, and quickly fooled Elizabeth.

  The two played poker in the cabin.

   After finishing, Elizabeth went to the bathroom and heard Lucas' cell phone ring.

   She was afraid of disturbing the other party to answer the phone, so she kept waiting outside.

  Lucas attached great importance to this call and spoke very politely. Because the party music was too loud, he also let go of the phone's external voice.

  Elizabeth can also hear the conversation between the two.

   Listening and listening, Elizabeth felt that something was wrong.

   Lucas is not feeling well.

  Take the stand-in shot first.

  Who is Abu Guerra?

  Elizabeth's face became more and more ugly. She took out her mobile phone and searched for Lucas's video. After comparing them carefully, she found a difference.

  The man in front of him looks a lot like Lucas.

   But after careful comparison, there are some differences.

  Elizabeth knew she might be fooled.

   She was angry and felt insulted.

  She thought of calling the police.

   But is the alarm useful?

  That man never said he was Lucas, he thought he was Lucas, he just didn't refute, refuse, or explain.

   Also, she doesn't like the police and doesn't trust them.

  She decided to take revenge herself, to teach this man a lesson, and let him feel the feeling of being cheated.

  Elizabeth was a bright girl and quickly made plans.

  She returned to the wooden house again, successfully **** Abu Guerra with a rope for some exciting reason, and found the prop dagger from the locker.

   Just as 'Lucas' was enjoying himself, Elizabeth took out a dagger and pressed him for his identity.

  'Lucas' didn't admit it at first, insisting that he was Lucas himself.

  'Lucas' had a sincere expression, which once made Elizabeth feel that she had misunderstood.

  She took out her mobile phone and turned on the light, only then could she see the face of 'Lucas' thoroughly.

  He looks alike, very much alike.

   But he's not Lucas.

   At this time, the deceased also knew that he could not hide it, and admitted that he was Lucas's substitute, Abu Guerra.

  Elizabeth became furious and prepared to take further revenge on Abu Guerra.

   Threatened with a dagger and forced Abu Guerra to the side of the big pit.

  At that time, Elizabeth was in a fit of anger, and she didn't think about how to deal with this liar. She just wanted to drive him into a big pit and scare him by burying him alive.

   Abu Guerra thought that this crazy woman really wanted to bury herself alive, so naturally she would not just wait for death, so she fought hard by the big pit and bit Elizabeth's arm.

  Under the pain, Elizabeth instinctively hit Abu Guerra on the head with the tail of the dagger, but the opponent still refused to let go, and thus stabbed the opponent in the neck.

  Blood spurted out.

  Elizabeth is terrified and realizes that she has made a big mistake.

   Regret.

  Although this man is not the real Lucas, although he deceived himself, he is indeed handsome.

   Fortunately, the music at the party in the distance was very loud, and did not disturb the party crowd.

  Elizabeth decided to bury Abu Guerra alive.

  At the same time, he also threw in a bracelet he found in the wooden house.

  She hoped to interfere with the police investigation in this way.

  After being buried, Elizabeth found a room in the wooden house to put on her performance clothes, and quickly fled the scene of the crime.

  After describing the process of committing the crime, Elizabeth was already crying. After all, she was just a seventeen-year-old girl. She was a murderer of passion, not premeditated murder, and she did not have too deep a city.

  Xima burst into tears holding her daughter, and the entire interrogation room was enveloped in crying.

   Luke and the two left the interrogation room, and Susan, the deputy team and others also left the observation room.

   "Luke, you did a good job." Susan was very satisfied with Luke's recent performance.

   Not only arresting people fiercely, but also interrogating people very well. He is a person who can be cultivated.

  Susan still has room for advancement. If she doesn't want to be just the captain in this life, she must have a suitable replacement. Although the members of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division have good abilities, they have their own flaws, and only Luke is more normal.

  David is basically a jerk.

  Xiao Hei is unreliable.

  The age of the deputy team is one aspect, the key is the bad temper.

   Raymond cherishes words like gold.

  Jenny's ability is average.

   Matthew is an otaku.

  Luke has the strongest comprehensive ability, and is the only cultivation object she can catch.

  She suddenly felt that some new talents should be introduced into the team.

  The deputy team also came over and patted Luke on the shoulder, "Young man, you are great, with the demeanor I used to be."

  The deputy team likes to praise himself through others, which is also his greatest recognition of others.

  In his words, Deputy Director Reid gradually grew into a high-level police detective through this kind of passive praise.

  David put his arms around Xiao Hei's shoulders, "This case can be regarded as a reminder to you, don't fool around with women again."

  Xiao Hei said seriously, "That's old news, I've changed it now."

  David didn't believe it, "Dogs can't change eating shit."

  Xiao Hei retorted loudly, "I'm not a dog, I only love Julian, a woman."

  David nodded, "Very well, I remember your words, if you break up with Julian or cheat, I will beat you up."

  Xiao Hei dissatisfied, "Why, you are not familiar with Julian, let alone her brother and father, why are you threatening me like this?"

   "You're right. From today onwards, I will regard Julian as my younger sister." David pointed at Xiao Hei with his right index and middle fingers, "Keep an eye on you for her."

   "Wow..." Xiao Hei was a little upset in his heart, and he didn't dare to confront David, so he fell behind a few steps and asked Luke, "Why did he do this?"

  Luke shook his head, "Don't think too much, he's just looking for an excuse, he just wants to beat you up."

  Xiao Hei pouted, "How do you know?"

  Luke smiled, "I thought about it too."

  Xiao Hei "..."

   Thank you all book friends for rewarding and voting!
