Four o'clock in the afternoon.

In addition to the DNA identification of the blood stains on the leather shoes, several other identification results have come out one after another.

The technical team found Peck's fingerprints on the pistol, which was consistent with the human shooting posture.

At the same time, gunpowder residue was identified on Peck's right hand and shirt.

The shoes found in the trash can were also the same as the footprints left at the crime scene.

Based on the above evidence, it can be basically determined that Peck is the murderer of Jamie.

This result shocked the other investigators. No one expected that the murderer would be a ten-year-old boy.

With sufficient evidence, Luke decided to interrogate Peck.

The first interrogation room of the Robbery and Murder Division.

Peck was taken into the interrogation room, along with her grandmother and lawyer.

After seeing Luke, Peck couldn't wait to ask, "Where is my mother?"

"I have contacted your mother. She is very happy to know that your brothers and sisters are safe."

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"I am a very fair person. If you don't lie to me, I won't lie to you either."

"I want to see my mother."

"I never promised this before."

"I now ask to see my mother."

"This is not my decision. You should seek help from a lawyer."

Peck showed an angry look, "You are a liar."

"I have never lied. I have always said that I would help contact your mother, and I never said that I would let you mother and son meet. If you don't believe it, we can play back the video of the law enforcement recorder.

I don't even bother to lie to you."

"You so-called adults like to use words to coax children."

"At least it's better than a lying child."

"I did not lie."

"You lied."

"I don't."

"I don't want to mention the past again.

I'll ask you a few more questions. As long as you answer truthfully, I can find a way for you to meet your mother."

Peck felt a little conflicted, "Didn't you just say that I can ask a lawyer for help? There is no need to ask you."

Luke smiled, "Maria's case is also investigated by our squadron. I think she is not suitable for visits now. Although I have no say, I will make suggestions to the captain.

Mr. Lawyer, you can submit a visitation application and see what our captain will decide?"

The lawyer lowered his head and whispered to Peck, "Relax and don't be confrontational. Lapd is only questioning you now to investigate the case. Don't let them feel disgusted with you. That will not be of any benefit to the investigation of the case. Do you understand?"

"

Peck's grandmother also advised, "Peck, listen to the lawyer and don't worry about your mother's affairs. I just hope that you can be safe now."

Only if you get out of here can we help your mother."

Peck took a deep breath to calm down his emotions and said to Luke, "Just ask."

"What's your relationship with Jamie?"

"You asked, I told you, and you know it."

Luke said, "Peck, there are procedures for investigating cases, and there are procedures for questioning. It is not based on my subjective consciousness. If it is just me knowing, and convicting based on my subjective consciousness, then prosecutors and judges are needed.

What does a jury do?”

The lawyer reminded again, "Peck, if I feel that the question is inappropriate, I will interrupt in time to protect your rights.

But if I hadn't done that, it would have been the smartest thing to do and answer the officer's questions honestly."

Peck asked, "Are you really my lawyer?"

The lawyer spread his hands and said, "If you are dissatisfied with my legal services, you can change the assistance lawyer."

Peck's grandmother scolded, "Peck, do what the lawyer says!"

"Jamie is my mother's boyfriend, I call him uncle."

Luke asked, "Is your relationship familiar?"

"Okay."

"Do you live together?"

"He comes to stay at my house occasionally."

"How is your relationship?"

"Well enough."

"When did Jamie take you away from your home? For what reason?"

"August 3rd, around three or four in the afternoon, I can't remember the exact time." Peck recalled for a moment and continued, "He lied to us and said that a serious infectious disease broke out outside, and he wanted to take us out to escape.

"

"What was the attitude between you and Martha at that time?"

"The two of us were frightened. I wanted to contact my mother, but Jamie disagreed and said that as a nurse, my mother was helping patients with infectious diseases and could not take care of us, so she asked us to go with him first.

He put Martha and I in the car and took us to live in a gray house. After that, he kept telling us about an infectious disease and did not allow us to go out or contact our mother.

I felt at that time... I might have been kidnapped.

I didn't expect this, and I don't know why he did it?

I am very scared, afraid that he will hurt me and my sister."

"Have you tried leaving?"

"Yes, but he caught me. He also threatened to tie me up with a rope if I dared to run away again.

He is very fierce, he seems to have changed into a different person, he is no longer the Uncle Jamie I am familiar with."

"What happened next?"

"Last night, I heard a quarrel outside, and it seemed like an outsider was coming.

Then I heard two gunshots. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to go out, so I stayed with my sister.

After a long time, I had the courage to come out and take a look. I found that Jamie was bleeding a lot. I was frightened and wanted to leave with my sister.

I couldn't find my phone, so I had to drive to the hospital where my mother worked...

I'm sorry for hurting people while driving, that was not my intention."

Luke thought for a moment, "Have you ever been close to Jamie after you found out that he was dead?"

"No."

"Have you ever been exposed to other things?"

"No."

"Have you ever worn Jamie's leather shoes?"

"No."

lie.

Through these questions, Peck became a little nervous, flustered, and showed signs of lying.

When they met for the first time, Peck injured more than a dozen demonstrators. At that time, his emotions were extremely unstable, including fear, nervousness, anger, and guilt...

All kinds of complex emotions are mixed together, and it is difficult to distinguish whether there are signs of lying.

But this time it was different. Peck had calmed down. If he asked some sensitive questions at this time, it would be easier to see the mood swings and flaws.

The purpose of the interrogation is to find out the facts.

If he refuses to plead guilty, find loopholes in his words to prove that he is lying and force him to confess.

Luke took out a transparent plastic bag from his briefcase, which contained a black pistol. "Does this gun look familiar?"

"I have not seen."

"This is Jamie's gun. We found your fingerprints on the gun, which means you not only saw it, but you even touched it and used it!"

The lawyer waved his hand, "Peck, don't speak yet." The lawyer looked at Luke again, "Deputy Luke, we are here to assist the LAPD investigation in finding the murderer of Jamie. But that does not mean that the police can slander my client at will.
