"Detective, well done!" Luke praised with a thumbs up.

Xiao Hei spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "It's just a small scene. Even if you don't arrive in time, I can still subdue them."

With that said, Xiao Hei patted Ronnie Prada's cheek, "Man, which one is more powerful, me or my ID photo?"

Ronnie Prada stared at Xiao Hei, "Why are you arresting me?"

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Because you are handsome, haha..."

Ronnie Prada “…”

Luke didn't talk nonsense to him and asked, "Do you have a black Chevrolet sedan?"

"Yes."

"What's the license plate number?"

"2Huy377."

Luke took out a photo of the deceased Rohel Horn and asked, "Do you know him?"

"No."

Luke pointed at his eyes, "Look at me, we're not here to hear your lies, do you understand?

Let me ask you again, do you know him?"

Ronnie Prada hesitated for a moment, "Yes."

"What's your relationship with him?"

"He...borrowed money from me."

"How much?"

"Fifty thousand dollars."

"usury?"

"Yes."

"Has the money been recovered?"

"He didn't borrow $50,000 in one go. He has already paid back part of it."

"He couldn't repay the rest of the money, so you killed him."

"No, he hasn't paid me back yet, so I can't possibly kill him.

If I kill him, I won't get my money back." Ronnie Prada seemed to realize something and asked, "Is he dead?"

"Yes."

Ronnie Prada waved his hands and said, "This has nothing to do with me. I swear, I didn't kill him."

"On the afternoon of July 10th, between two and six o'clock, where were you?"

Ronnie Prada thought carefully, "At that time... I should be in this apartment."

"We checked the surveillance and found that you drove the black Chevrolet car to the Talip community where the deceased was killed."

Ronnie Prada opened his mouth wide, "No no no, there is a misunderstanding. That black Chevrolet is indeed mine, but I have not driven that car recently.

I am driving a black Mercedes-Benz, which is in the parking lot downstairs. They can all testify.

I've never been to the neighborhood you're talking about, I swear to God."

"Then tell me, who was driving that black Chevrolet on July 10th and July 11th?"

Ronnie Prada blurted out, "Walda Baker, yes, that's the guy.

He has been driving my black Chevrolet." Ronnie Prada pointed to the two younger brothers, "They can testify."

The two boys nodded quickly, "Yes, Walda Baker has been driving that car."

Luke looked at the three of them and asked, "Where is Walda Baker?"

"Yesterday, the guy said that his mother was not feeling well and that he was going to Arizona to see his mother. He would not be back for a few days."

Luke asked, "Has he had any contact with Rohel Horn?"

"Yes, he is usually responsible for contacting Rohel Horn and getting money from Rohel Horn."

Luke used his tablet to check the road surveillance video. The black Chevrolet sedan was definitely fine, but the driver was wearing a peaked cap and covering it with a sun visor. The road surveillance could not capture a clear appearance, and the police could not determine the driver's identity.

You can use your car to find people.

Luke clicked on a clearer screenshot. Although he couldn't see his face, he could see part of his body. "Is this your Chevrolet sedan?"

Ronnie Prada glanced at the tablet and said, "Yes."

"Who's driving?"

Ronnie Prada looked closely, "Looks like Walda Baker."

Luke asked his two younger brothers to identify him, and they also felt that the driver looked very much like Walda Baker.

Luke also compared the surveillance video with Ronnie Prada, and it did not look like the same person.

Luke probed, "Do you think Walda Baker killed Rohel Horn?"

"I have no idea.

I can't think of any reason for him to do this?"

Luke continued to test, "Is it because Rohel Horn refused to pay back the money, so you asked Walda Baker to teach Rohel Horn a lesson, but he accidentally killed him."

"No no no, Rohel Horn has paid back the money within the agreed time. I didn't let Walda Baker find him in trouble. I didn't even know that Walda Baker went to him."

"Then why do you think Walder Baker killed Rohel Horn?"

"I really don't know why that bastard did that?" Ronnie Prada finished and asked, "Are you sure it was Walda Baker who killed Rohel Horn?"

Luke pointed at the other party, "Am I asking you now, or are you asking me?"

"Do you know Kalman Pharmaceuticals?"

"never heard of that."

"Do you know how to find Walda Baker?"

"I don't know. He just told me to go to Arizona to see his mother. I don't know where he is now."

"Where does he live?"

"It's in room 209 of this apartment."

"Do you have the key to the room?"

"Yes."

"Can I come into the apartment and check it out?"

Ronnie Prada looked at Luke and nodded slowly, "Of course, I rented that apartment, you can search it at will."

"Thanks."

Ronnie Prada said, "I have a clear conscience, because I have nothing to do with Rohel Horn's death, and I am not afraid of your search."

"very good."

With the assistance of Ronnie Prada, the police opened the door of Apartment 209.

Raymond led the team to search the room, and after confirming that it was safe, Luke entered the room to investigate carefully.

The apartment was not big, just a large studio and a toilet. It was very messy. There were a lot of sundries on the table and on the floor.

Luke walked to the table and saw a layer of white flour scattered on the table. He wiped it with his fingers, put it under his nose and smelled it. It looked like drugs.

Porter put away his pistol and said, "Captain, the closet doors are open and all the clothes inside are missing. Walda Baker may have run away, and depending on the situation, he left in a hurry."

Luke nodded.

Jackson picked up a piece of clothing on the ground and said, "Captain, I discovered the situation here.

There are traces of burning on the cuffs of this dress." Jackson put the dress under his nose and smelled it. "The smell of smoke and suspected accelerants remained on the dress."

Xiaohei speculated, “Perhaps Walda Baker also participated in the arson of the Kalman Pharmaceutical Company on the night of July 11th, and was wearing this dress at the time.

I didn’t take it away because my sleeves were burned.”

Luke also picked up the burned clothes and looked closely. They were very similar to the clothes of the driver of the black Chevrolet suspect vehicle, and were probably the same clothes.

All clues and evidence point to Walda Baker.

Subsequently, Luke began to assign tasks and investigate Walda Baker's whereabouts.

Car surveillance in the apartment parking lot showed that Walda Baker returned to the apartment at one o'clock in the morning on July 12, drove away around two o'clock in the morning, and never came back after that.

Twenty hours have passed since Walda Baker escaped.

Subsequently, the police tried to locate Walda Baker's mobile phone number, but all of his mobile phone numbers were lost and could not be located.

At this time, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and without finding Walda Baker's whereabouts, the police could only temporarily withdraw the team.
