Chapter 633 Grudges

Half an hour later, the three Lukes left the vacation home with Buddy Crook's driving recorder.

After getting in the car, Xiao Hei asked, "Captain, are we leaving like this?"

This guy has a strong motive for committing the crime and is highly suspicious."

"You are right, but we have no evidence that he killed anyone.

Since he has given a new alibi, let's verify it first.

Find the blond woman who was in the hotel that night and confirm his whereabouts during the time of the crime."

Jackson asked, "If he was really the murderer, would he take the opportunity to escape?"

Luke thought for a while, "The possibility that he is the murderer is not high.

He returned to Los Angeles the afternoon before yesterday and went to Coffey Travel Company yesterday. Many people know about this matter and the previous alibi was too loopy.

If he was really the murderer, he should have run away long ago instead of waiting until now.

Moreover, we checked his driving recorder and it was consistent with what he described. Although he had returned to the community, his stay was very short and he did not have the time to commit the crime."

Jackson said thoughtfully, "He returned home early due to a job change, only to see his wife cheating on him. That night, his wife and the person he cheated on were killed.

Would it be too coincidental to say that this matter had nothing to do with him?

It’s like it was designed.”

Luke nodded, "I also have this guess.

If Buddy Crook wasn't the murderer.

Then, the real culprit probably deliberately led him to break up the adultery. He might have hoped that he would get angry and kill his wife and the cheating partner, but he never expected that Buddy Crook was too cowardly and left directly.

Later, the real murderer took the initiative to kill himself.

Because Buddy Crook had been to the crime scene and had a major motive for committing the crime, the police would still suspect Buddy Crook immediately.

The real murderer is now safe."

Jackson said, "Could the real culprit be Dido Bruns, the president of Coffey Travel Company? He and several people involved are all members of the Coffey Group and know each other.

Moreover, he also has the ability to intervene in Buddy Crook's work arrangements.

It’s just that we still don’t know his motive for committing the crime.”

Xiao Hei echoed, "Yes, this guy ran to New York just after the two victims were killed. This guy will definitely not be able to get away with it."

Luke ordered, "Contact the blonde who was with Buddy Crook on the night of the crime and confirm Buddy Crook's alibi first.

If there is no problem with Buddy Crook, then investigate Dido Bruns, the president of Coffey Travel Company..."

"Ding ding ding..." Luke's cell phone rang.

"Hi, I'm Luke."

"Captain Li, I am Chen Kelin.

Our Second Squadron has just identified a suspect in the case, do you want to participate in the interrogation?"

"So fast?"

"Yes, the suspect has a motive for committing the crime and has also appeared near the crime scene."

"Where are you now?"

"On our way back to the detective station."

"See you soon."

Luke hung up the phone and said, "You two go check on the blonde, I have to go back to the police station."

Xiao Hei asked, "What happened?"

"Captain Chen found a suspect and I want to go back to participate in the interrogation."

Jackson said, "They are very efficient this time."

Xiao Hei curled his lips, "Don't forget, they took over the case before us."

"Don't worry about others, first check out the clues you have." Luke warned a few words, and then the three of them split up.

…

Robbery and homicide department, second squadron office.

In the conference room.

Opposite Chen Kelin sat a white man about fifty years old. The man had long gray hair and a big beard, and looked a bit unkempt.

The white man yawned, scanned the surrounding environment, his eyes fell on Chen Kelin, and opened his mouth slightly, but did not speak.

Chen Kelin sat opposite him and asked with a smile, "Mr. Otway Stone, would you like something to drink? Coffee or tea?"

"No, thank you." The white man named Otway Stone glanced at the golden Rolex, "I have to attend a friend's party later, so I hope to speed up the conversation."

"OK.

Mr. Otway Stone, do you know Gary Coffey?"

"Yes, who in Los Angeles doesn't know the chairman of Coffey Company?

I also know that he is dead."

"I heard that you two are very good friends and hold important positions in the same film company. I think you must be very familiar with each other.

So, I want to know something about him with you."

"Come on, I told you, I'm very busy and don't have time to talk you around.

We may have been friends before, but not now.

We even had conflicts, which is nothing to hide.

But I can tell you clearly that I had nothing to do with his death, so don’t waste your time on me." Otway Stone touched the dial with his hand, "My time is very precious."

"I'll focus on the key points and won't waste too much of your time."

"That's best."

"Dong dong..." The door of the conference room rang.

Luke opened the door and walked in, "Gentlemen, I hope I didn't disturb you."

"You came just in time." Chen Kelin introduced, "This is Mr. Otway Stone, the director of Otway Film Company, and this is Captain Li of the First Squadron."

Otway Stone frowned slightly and glanced at Luke, "Luke Lee?"

"it's me."

"I know your name. You are a famous police detective in Los Angeles. I heard that you have solved many major cases.

I know a very good screenwriter who wants to make a movie about your experience, and to be honest, the script is pretty good."

"My pleasure." Luke smiled.

Chen Kelin continued to ask, "Mr. Otway Stone, when was the last time you saw Mr. Gallian Coffey?"

"Wow..." Otway Stone rolled his eyes and shrugged, "Honestly, I can't remember. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Chen Kelin opened his notebook and asked, "On October 27th, that is, between eight and nine o'clock in the evening the day before yesterday, where were you?"

"Haha, it seems you are well prepared." Otway Stone moved back and leaned on the chair.

Chen Kelin continued, "So, you admit that you met the night before yesterday, the night Mr. Gary Coffey was killed?"

"No." Otway Stone shrugged, "We can't talk about meeting him. I can only say that I saw him unilaterally.

I don't think he saw me."

Chen Kelin pointed at him with his right index finger, "You are following him."

"Slander, this is absolutely slander. I am Otway Stone, the founder of Otway Films, an excellent director and producer. I disdain to do this kind of thing."

Chen Kelin took out a picture of a red Tesla car and asked, "Is this car yours?"

"It belongs to my wife."

"But you were the one driving that day." Chen Kelin took out a few more surveillance photos. "According to our investigation, Gary Coffey left the company and went to his secretary's house the afternoon before yesterday, and you drove this red Tesla.

Always following behind.

If you are not stalking, tell me your purpose."

Otway Stone scratched his hair with his right hand and said helplessly, "I want to see him and then sit down and have a good talk with him."

"I don't think anyone would like the way you talk."

"I don't want to, but I can't help it." Otway Stone tapped his fingers on the table and hummed, "That bastard didn't answer my phone, didn't let me enter his company, and once even asked the bodyguards to take me out of his house.

Driven out.

So, I can only follow him and try to find a suitable opportunity to talk."
