Police Detective Bureau.

trial room.

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

Susan, Luke and others were looking at 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 assistant director Crapo Shino, Abu Guerra was with a young woman on the night of his death. She was white, had brown hair, and had big silver earrings. She fit the criteria.

In addition, there were bite marks on her arms, which was consistent with our previous speculation.

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

Susan asked, "Are you sure she will plead guilty?"

Luke has also thought about this problem. The police now have three pieces of evidence. The first is the witness Crapo Hinault, who provided clues about Elizabeth.

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

Third, blood stains of the suspected murderer were found in the victim's mouth.

These three points are important evidence to correct the suspect.

But the problem now is that these three pieces 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 convicting evidence.

What killed Abu Gra was a prop dagger, and the fingerprints on it had been erased.

The previous three pieces of evidence could only prove that Elizabeth had met and had a conflict with the deceased, but could not prove that she killed the victim.

This is also the biggest problem facing the trial.

Luke thought carefully and divided the interrogation into two stages.

The first stage is cliché.

When the suspect relaxes her vigilance, she is asked to make some confessions that can be proven to be false, causing inconsistencies in her confessions.

The second stage is to plead guilty.

After the identification results came out, Luke presented all the evidence and forced the other party to accept the plea bargain and plead guilty.

If these two methods are ineffective, then you can only choose the stupidest method, collect more evidence, form a more complete evidence chain, and ask the judge and jury to convict you in court.

After hearing Luke's thoughts, Susan pinched her forehead and said, "Let's go to the interrogation. I will have the technical department compare Elizabeth's DNA to see if it is the same as the blood stains found on the teeth of the deceased."

“Yes, captain.“

With Susan's words, Luke felt confident.

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

In addition to Elizabeth, there was another white woman in her forties in the room, her mother.

Elizabeth trembled, her angry look turned into panic, and she choked, "Why are you treating me like this? You targeted me last time you applied for a driver's license, and now you're doing this again?

Where did I offend you?"

Luke smiled and said, "Elizabeth, this is the police detective bureau. We only arrest serious criminals, so stop pretending to be pitiful. It's just childish 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 Thema Linton, and I am Elizabeth's mother. Now tell me, why did you arrest my daughter?"

"We suspect that Elizabeth is involved in a murder case, and this is an arrest warrant." Luke showed the subsequent arrest procedures.

Seema Linton looked at the arrest warrant and said, "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 at Elizabeth's arm, "How did it get hurt?"

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and said, "Bitten by a dog."

Luke smiled. The more false her words were, the easier it would be to cause logical errors in the testimony. The more ironic it would sound to the jury, and the greater the chance of conviction.

"What kind of dog bit you?"

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

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

Your wound was not bitten by a dog at all, but by a human. This is a terrible excuse."

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

And in my eyes, there is no difference between some people and dogs."

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

Sima Linton said, "Detective, it's too arbitrary to say that my daughter is the murderer just based on the wounds on her arms.

Why do I feel that Elizabeth was bitten and she is the victim?"

Luke didn't bother to pay attention to her quibbles, "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 ten o'clock in the evening and two o'clock in the morning on April 25th?"

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

"It doesn't matter. You take your time and think about it. We are not in a hurry."

Sima held her daughter's hand and encouraged, "Baby, think about it seriously, 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 filming set of Gone Girl?"

"No."

"The third question, have you ever had any contact with the crew of Gone Lovers?"

"No."

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

"No."

Elizabeth still denied it, but there were more sweat stains on her forehead and she looked even more nervous.

"Elizabeth, since we have arrested you, we have enough evidence. Since you have this attitude, I think there is no need to talk. Let's see you in court." Luke has achieved the purpose of the first stage. Elizabeth's questions

Obviously lying, he got up and left the interrogation room.

Elizabeth's mother became anxious and said, "Detective, please wait a moment. My daughter is just answering the questions normally. I think there is nothing wrong with her attitude."

Luke stared at her, "You really believe she is innocent."

"Yes, I believe her."

"That means you don't understand her."

Sima Linton said sincerely, "It's you who don't understand. I am her mother. I have watched her grow up, and no one knows her better than me.

As a mother, I beg you to find out the matter as soon as possible and restore my daughter's 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." After Luke finished speaking, he turned and left.

"My daughter is not guilty!" Sima Linton shouted loudly.

…

the next day.

The appraisal report from the Technical Department has come out.

Elizabeth's DNA was identical to the blood found in the deceased's mouth.

The tooth marks on Elizabeth's arm matched 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 his side.

At first glance, Luke still had the same problem as yesterday.

"Elizabeth, where were you between ten o'clock in the evening and two o'clock in the morning on April 25th?"

"I really can't remember."

“Have you ever been to the set of Gone Girl?”

"No."

"lie.
