Chapter 391 The First Scene(1/2)
Mrs. Morrison said with some dissatisfaction, "Why does it feel like you are interrogating me?
I am the reporter!
If I was the murderer, why should I call the police?"
Luke said, "Mrs. Morrison, there is no one else here, and our conversation will be kept confidential.
I want to know what is your relationship with the deceased Kelu Jones?"
"As I said, they are very good friends, similar to best friends."
Luke took advantage of the situation and said, "Since we are best friends, we should talk about everything. We should know his situation very well."
"What exactly do you want to ask?"
"We checked the information of the deceased Kelu Jones. He had been living in New York before and moved to Los Angeles this year. He was not married and his other relatives did not live in Los Angeles.
Judging from the current situation, you, this 'best friend', should be the person who knows the most about his recent life.
Did he say that he had offended anyone?
Or, who do you think his murder was related to?"
"It has nothing to do with my husband, I know him.
He won't kill anyone, so don't waste your time on him.
Spend more energy investigating the real murderer."
"Then who do you think it's related to?
As a 'best friend', I believe you also hope to catch his murderer as soon as possible."
Mrs. Morrison was silent for a moment, "There is indeed someone who is very close to Kirou Jones. Although Kirou Jones has never mentioned each other, I can feel that their relationship is unusual."
"Have you seen that man?"
"No."
"What's the name of the person you're talking about."
"The two of them often talked on the phone, and Keelu Jones called her Mrs. Grey."
"What is the relationship between the two of them?"
"Kerr Jones is a pianist, and he said he was Mrs. Gray's piano teacher, but I can feel that their relationship is 'very close'.
Kelu Jones probably went to see her the night he disappeared."
Luke asked, "How do you know?"
"Women's intuition."
"OK." Luke curled his lips and wrote down the title of 'Mrs. Grey'.
After finishing the transcript for Mrs. Morrison, Luke communicated with Captain Rey.
Captain Rey still believed that the Morrison couple were more suspicious. The couple had a deep entanglement with the deceased. The wife might have had an improper relationship with the deceased and was also the one who reported the crime.
Her husband, Darwin Morrison, had a motive for committing the crime and was also the last contact of the deceased. He had also been to the scene of the crime and was still the key suspect.
After discussion, the two decided to divide the investigation. Captain Rey still focused on investigating the Morrisons and looking for evidence that they might have committed the crime.
Luke is responsible for investigating new leads.
…
The next morning.
In the office of the 1st Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Department, Luke called everyone for a meeting.
Luke briefly introduced the progress of the case and asked everyone, "What do you think?"
"The deceased Kiru Jones was not married, and his relatives were not around. First he found a best friend, Mrs. Morrison, and now he hooked up with Mrs. Gray. He was a typical bad boy and playboy." The deputy team member curled his lips.
"I'm not surprised at all that this kind of person was killed."
Xiao Hei smiled and said, "So not only does Mr. Morrison have suspicions, but that 'Mr. Gray' also has a motive for committing the crime.
Of course, it is not ruled out that this guy has hooked up with other ladies.
If this guy Kelu Jones is killed, I guess a lot of 'gentlemen' will applaud."
Luke took a sip of coffee and said, "Stop talking about those useless things.
Captain Rey is responsible for investigating the Morrisons.
We are responsible for investigating ‘Mrs. Gray’, and the next step is to find out the identity of Mrs. Gray and her relationship with the deceased.”
Matthew offered himself up and said, "Leave it to me.
You continue the meeting."
Luke and others continued to discuss the case.
The deputy said, "Actually, I also think the Morrisons are very suspicious. Darwin Morrison has the motive and the time to commit the crime.
His wife's behavior was also very suspicious and consistent with the physical characteristics of the police officer who was killed - a black woman.
But the only thing I can't figure out is what if Mrs. Morrison is really the murderer of the police officers.
So what was her motive for committing the crime?"
Luke speculated, "Is there some connection between the two deceased people?"
The deputy team member snapped his fingers, "I think so too.
Therefore, I think we should investigate whether there are other connections between the two deceased persons.
As long as we find what they have in common, we may be able to find clues to identify the murderer."
"Good idea, Deputy, I'll leave this clue to your investigation." Luke thought for a moment and continued, "Also, I carefully studied the leather shoe print found at the crime scene.
I have learned some knowledge about footprint identification privately, and I think there is something wrong with the shoe print. It may be that the shoe print is a small foot wearing a big shoe.
The person actually wearing those shoes was probably a woman."
Everyone has a certain understanding of Luke's ambition and learning ability, which is why he can become the captain at such a young age.
The deputy asked, "Are you sure?"
"Can."
The deputy frowned and said, "In other words, there was a woman who went to the scene where Kelu Jones' body was dumped. Could she be the black woman who killed the police officer?"
Xiao Hei's eyes widened and he reminded, "Mrs. Morrison is a black man. Is it possible that she is the real culprit in the two cases!"
The deputy team spread their hands and said, "The question is back to the starting point. If Mrs. Morrison is the murderer, why did she call the police?"
Luke took advantage of the situation and said, "Is it possible that she knew that the murder of Kelu Jones could not be concealed, and that she also wanted to kill other people, so there was no need to conceal it.
The reason why I took the initiative to report the crime was actually to get myself an amulet.
Once the police find her and feel she is suspicious, they will find out the identity of the person who reported the crime.
On the contrary, it will reduce her suspicion."
If Luke's analysis is correct, then the clue of 'Mrs. Gray' is probably a bait thrown by Mrs. Morrison in order to divert the direction of the police investigation.
However, whether it is a bait or not, it still needs to be investigated after all, and the police cannot let go of any clue.
At this moment, Matthew came over and said, "Guys, I found a clue about 'Mrs. Grey'."
Jackson raised his thumb, "How did you find out so quickly?"
Matthew said, "I investigated the communication contacts of the deceased Keelu Jones. Among them was a woman named Georgia Gray with the same surname and age of 38. I guess she is probably the 'Ms. Gray' we are looking for."
Luke said, "I want Georgia Gray's details."
"yes, sir."
…
Winster Community.
This is a wealthy and upscale community. Most of the residents went on vacation during Christmas. Most of the holidays have passed, and some residents have returned one after another.
A Ford Explorer stopped on the side of the road. Luke got out of the passenger cab and looked at the house number, No. 109, Gray's house.
This was the address of Mrs. Gray's house he was looking for.
According to information, the Grays belong to a remarried family. They have been married for ten years. Mr. Gray and his ex-wife have a daughter, and the custody rights are given to his ex-wife.
The Gray family's yard is large and separated by a fence. Luke pressed the video doorbell at the door of the yard.
"Ding dong..."
I pressed it several times but got no response.
At the neighbor's house next door, an old man with a white beard holding a cigar in his mouth sat at a round table in the yard drinking coffee. He looked at Luke and others and shouted, "Stop pressing the button, there is no one at home."
Luke asked the white-bearded man, "Sir, what do you call me?"
The white-bearded old man vomited and said, "My friends call me Lao Cole."
