Luke asked, "How is your relationship as a couple?"

"We have been married for five years and have always been in love." Henry Cartman looked a little unnatural.

"Has she had contact with anyone suspicious recently?"

Henry Cartman was silent for a moment, licked his lips, lowered his head and said, "I don't know. She is a professional woman and has her own career circle."

Luke rubbed his thumb with his right index finger. From his experience, Henry Cartman seemed to be hiding something.

Or perhaps, their relationship as husband and wife is not as good as he said.

"What does your wife do?"

"She's an elementary school teacher."

"Has she encountered any problems at work recently?"

"Not that I know of."

Luke probed, "Do you and your wife communicate much?"

"When we have dinner together, we will talk about work or life."

"Do you think it's possible that your wife committed suicide?"

"No, I don't think so, she is an independent woman and a very strong person.

There's no reason to sneak off to the park and commit suicide."

Luke asked, "Do you have any suspicion about the person who killed your wife?"

Henry Cartman thought for a while and sighed, "I don't know, I can't think of anyone who would do such a cruel thing.

My wife is a good person, she is very kind to her neighbors, she donates to charity every year, she is a good person."

Luke stared at the other person and turned the pen in his hand habitually.

"Dong dong..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

"Creak..."

The door opened and the deputy team was standing at the door.

"Captain, please come out."

Luke stood up and left the lounge, closed the door and asked, "Deputy team, what's the matter?"

"Huh..." the deputy sighed softly, "I want to tell you that the interrogation of the man who claimed to be the arson suspect, Warlord Russell, is over.

I contacted the psychiatric evaluation agency..." The deputy team leader pointed, "There is indeed something wrong with that guy's brain.

He has a severe pyromania and gets excited whenever he sees flames.

The bigger the flame, the higher the excitement.

According to expert speculation, this guy was extremely excited after seeing the fire in Forest Park, imagining that he had ignited the fire himself, which would give him a strong sense of accomplishment."

Luke pondered for a moment and asked, "In other words, he did not lie subjectively, but was deceived by his own fantasy."

The deputy team leader nodded, "That's right.

Therefore, there is no question of taking the blame. It is very likely that he does not know the real arsonist at all, and it is completely an idiot who is committing adultery on his own."

"I see." Luke thought that this might be the reason why he didn't see Warlord Russell lying, because the other party didn't think he was lying.

What a pervert.

The deputy team member pointed to the lounge, "Is the investigation progressing smoothly?"

"Well enough."

"I hope the news just now is helpful to you." The deputy team member finished his sentence and turned around to leave.

"Of course, this news is so timely." Luke opened the door and returned to the lounge again.

He sat across from Henry Cartman with a serious look on his face, "Mr. Cartman, my colleague just found some interesting clues."

"What clues are there related to my wife's death?"

"Yes." Luke touched his nose, "We checked your wife's call records and found that she contacted a lawyer, a professional divorce lawyer, on the day she was murdered."

"Oh, God..." Henry Cartman grabbed his hair with his hands, opened his mouth, but hesitated, "I..."

Seeing that Henry Cartman remained silent, Luke continued, "Maybe the relationship between you and your husband is not as good as you imagined...

Has she ever mentioned divorce to you?"

Henry Cartman said firmly, "No, never."

"Then why did she contact a divorce lawyer?" Luke joked, "You don't mean to tell me that she just wants to find someone to have afternoon tea, do you?"

"Uh..." Henry Cartman was silent for a long time and said, "Listen, there are indeed some problems between us, but I think they can be solved and it's not to the point of divorce."

Luke shrugged, "Obviously, your wife doesn't think so."

"I'm not sure what she thinks now, but I never thought about divorce."

Luke probed, "Which one of you earns more?"

"What do you mean?" Henry Cartman stood up suddenly and said dissatisfied, "I was the first to call the police after my wife disappeared. Are you doubting me?"

Jackson added, "In fact, your wife disappeared on the night of August 24th, and you didn't call the police until the next morning.

If I were you, I would definitely call the police that night."

"Oh my God! Do you think I am the murderer?" Henry Cartman showed an angry look and clenched his fists, "Do I need to find a lawyer now? Yes, I think it is more appropriate for a lawyer to talk to you."

Luke pressed his hand down and said, "Mr. Cartman, please don't get excited. We are just taking notes in accordance with the regulations.

As long as you tell us the true situation, there will be no problems.

For example, what's the problem between you and your wife?"

Henry Cartman pinched his forehead and said, "My... wife has been acting strange recently. She is always mysterious, as if she is hiding something from me.

One night, I heard her secretly making phone calls in the yard. She had never acted like this before. We husband and wife never hide anything from each other.

That's when I became suspicious of her...

I stalked her once and saw her dating a guy. They behaved very intimately...

I know she cheated."

Luke asked, "Do you know that man?"

Henry Cartman shook his head, "The man was wearing a hat, and he was a little far away, so I didn't see it clearly."

Jackson frowned, "Since you suspected your wife of cheating, didn't you come forward to confront her?"

"I might do that before I'm thirty.

But I am now thirty-five years old and have passed the age of impulsiveness.

I know very well that even if I show up at that time, it won't be of any help." Henry Cartman showed a helpless look, "I love Hedda, and I want to know where they have developed and whether there is any possibility of recovery.

.

Therefore, I plan to continue to follow up and decide whether to save this relationship.

But unfortunately I don't have the talent for tracking, so I was discovered by Hedda, and she became very angry.

Even a little hysterical.

We had a big fight and I didn't hold back this time.

I asked loudly about the man's identity and her relationship with that man, but she refused to tell...

In turn, he accused me of stalking him secretly, saying that my behavior was very scary."

Henry Cartman rubbed his face with his hands, "I couldn't control it, so I hit her.

Later... we both calmed down.

She promised not to call the police, but she wanted me to give her some time and give me an explanation." Henry Cartman shrugged, "However, before I could wait for her so-called explanation, she disappeared.

Because we were arguing at the time, I wasn't sure if she was avoiding me on purpose.

That's why I didn't report him missing immediately.

That’s just the way it is.”

Luke asked, "Why are you hiding this?"

Henry Cartman showed a wry smile, "I have watched a lot of movies and TV shows, and I know that once I tell you the truth.

You will definitely regard me as a key suspect.

I don't want to be treated like that."

Jackson said, "By doing this, the police will miss a lot of valuable information, and may even let the real murderer of your wife go free."
