Luke looked at Darwin Morrison. The Canyon Branch Detective Department listed him as a key suspect mainly based on three points.

The first point is that he was the last contact of the deceased, and the deceased also sent a text message inviting him to meet on Route 1;

The second point is that he drove to Highway 1 during the time of the crime, but lied that he had not been there. This is also the most suspicious thing about him;

The third point is that the police found leather shoe prints left by a suspected murderer at the crime scene, which revealed that his height and foot length were similar to Darwin Morrison.

Through footprint identification, Luke determined that the footprints at the crime scene were left by a woman, which did not match Darwin Morrison's gender and height. Then the third doubt could be eliminated, and it was impossible to prove that Darwin Morrison had been there.

Crime scene.

As for the first two doubts, it can only prove that Darwin Morrison has certain suspicions, but it is far from enough to convict the other party.

Moreover, through the transcript just now, Luke did not see any obvious signs of lying on the other side. However, he had been refusing to tell the reason why he met the deceased, so he must be hiding something.

Even if he is not the murderer, he is probably an insider.

Luke said earnestly, "Mr. Morrison, we are not here to arrest you today. On the contrary, we are here to help you and want to prove your innocence.

But the premise is that you are willing to assist us. If you show an attitude of refusing to cooperate, we want to help you, but there is nothing we can do."

Darwin Morrison said, "I have been assisting you in your investigation, and what I just said is true."

"Perhaps what you told the police is true, but you must have concealed some things, which is very detrimental to you. For example, why did you rush to a remote place late at night to see the deceased? What is the secret between you?

man's secret.

If you can explain this clearly, it will be very helpful for the investigation of the case."

Darwin Morrison pursed his lips and said, "This is my private matter...I have the right to privacy."

"Yes, you do have a right to privacy, but Keelu Jones was brutally murdered and his body was dumped on the roadside.

In order to find out the cause of his death, we need to know clearly the people he came into contact with and the things he did before he was killed.

I have made it very clear that I respect your right to privacy, but it cannot affect the investigation of the case. Even if you refuse to talk, we will find out the relationship between you.

For example, we will visit the surrounding neighbors. If one house fails, we will visit the next house. We will visit all the neighbors in the community. I believe there will always be someone who can provide some valuable clues."

Darwin Morrison clenched his fists and said dissatisfied, "You are invading my privacy."

"No, I'm investigating a case." Luke's subtext was very clear, either tell the police or let the neighbors in the community know.

Darwin Morrison glared at Luke and scratched his hair hard, "He and my wife are very close. I asked him to meet because I wanted to have a conversation between men and let him stay away from my wife.

.

Don't tell anyone...I don't want anyone to know about this."

Luke didn't show any expression on his face, but he mentally added something to the other party, and he had a motive for committing the crime.

"Do you have a pistol?"

"No, I don't need that kind of thing."

"On the night of December 25th, between ten and twelve o'clock, where were you?" This was the time of the crime when the police officer was shot.

"I'm at home."

"Can anyone help you prove it?"

"my wife."

"During this time, you two have been together."

"Yes, the two of us watched a TV series together. It was her favorite show and she went to bed after watching it.

Neither of them went out."

"What do you think of the death of Kelu Jones?"

"I don't know what to say. When I first met him, he was a good neighbor. He was funny and humorous. He was rarely indifferent when he was around. However, this guy's private life is a bit immoral. He likes to court women, not only my wife, but also others.

The same goes for my female neighbor. From this point of view...this guy deserves a beating.

I want to beat him up, but I won't kill him.

I don’t have a gun either.”

"Creak..."

At this moment, the door opened from the outside, and a black woman walked in, "Dear, are there guests at home?"

"These two are the police officers responsible for investigating the Kelu Jones case. They are here to understand the situation." After Darwin Morrison finished speaking, he introduced Luke and the two of them, "This is my wife."

Luke looked at the black woman, who looked to be in her early thirties, wearing a dark blue trench coat, black leather shoes, and holding a bag in her hand, "I am Luke Lee, captain of the 1st Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division.

Madam, if it is convenient, I would like to talk to you."

Mrs. Morrison put the bag on the shoe cabinet, "What are you talking about with me?"

"Just asking a few questions."

Mrs. Morrison hesitated for a moment, looked at her husband, nodded slightly, "OK."

At Luke's signal, Darwin Morrison went into the bedroom to escape. Only Luke, Captain Rey and Mrs. Morrison were left in the room.

"Ma'am, did you know the deceased Kelu Jones?"

"Yes, he is our neighbor. We often get together when we have time. He is a good man... It is a pity." Mrs. Morrison looked sad.

"How is his relationship with your husband?"

"Not bad as far as I know."

"Between 10pm on December 17th and 3am on the 18th, was your husband with you?"

Mrs. Morrison thought for a moment and said, "No."

"Where did he go?"

"He went out drinking with friends."

"Did he tell you?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever verified which friend he was drinking with?"

"No, I believe him. This is also the most basic thing between husband and wife."

"Madam, I'm sorry.

Your husband betrayed your trust. Instead of drinking with his friends that night, he made an appointment to meet Kelu Jones near Route 1. Do you know why?"

Mrs. Morrison glanced at the bedroom and shook her head, "I don't know."

"Is there anything going on between your husband and Keelu Jones?"

"Not that I know of."

"Do you have any suspicions about the murderer of Kelu Jones?"

Mrs. Morrison lowered her head and said, "No."

"Where were you between 10pm and 12pm on December 25th?"

"at home."

"Can anyone prove it?"

"my husband."

Luke stared at Mrs. Morrison, he could feel that she had lied.

But it is not certain that she lied to conceal her relationship with Kelu Jones.

Or lying about the murder of Kelu Jones.

In short, this woman must be hiding something, and we can dig deeper.

However, considering that Darwin Morrison was in the bedroom, even if Mrs. Morrison wanted to tell the truth to the police, she would not want her husband to hear it. This was not a good opportunity for in-depth communication.

Luke left a business card and temporarily left Morrison's house with Captain Rey.

…

After returning to the Canyon Branch, Luke convened a meeting in the conference room.

Luke showed Mrs. Morrison's transcript to everyone.

After Xiaohei read the transcript, he said, "I saw Mrs. Morrison while sitting in the car. Judging from the contents of the transcript, she must have something to hide. From my experience, she probably had an affair with the deceased, Kiru Jones."

leg.

In this case, Darwin Morrison would have sufficient motive to commit the crime."

Jackson said, "But based on the clues in the police killing case, the murderer in that case was probably a black woman, and Darwin Morrison was a man, which is not right."

Rey asked, "Is this clue accurate?"

"Accurate. The witness is also a person involved in the case and the only one who saw the murderer's back." Luke said.

Rey lowered his head, looked through the records of the two of them again, and analyzed, "Could it be that the couple committed the crime together?
