Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 400 Guilty Plea

  Robbery and murder department interrogation room.

  Georgia Gray was brought into the interrogation room, looked at Luke sitting across the interrogation table, and then at Jackson, with a sad look on his face, "Have you not found the real murderer yet?"

   This woman was full of nonsense and was good at covering it up. Luke didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, so he took out his tablet and played the 'pantomime'.

  Watching the familiar video, Georgia Gray looked like a deflated ball, the expression on his face changed again and again, and finally he just sighed dejectedly.

  There is video evidence that even if she speaks eloquently, she can't get rid of the murder charge.

   Luke pointed at the tablet, "Do you want to watch it again?"

  Georgia Gray shook his head, "No need."

   "Then tell me, why did you kill Kiru Jones?"

   "He betrayed my trust and feelings...

  I really like him, I never thought of killing him, it was just an accident, the gun went off. "

   "He installed this tiny camera?"

"Yes."

   "Why would he install a camera?"

   "I also asked him, at first he said he wanted to keep a souvenir and take it out when he misses me.

  I'm not stupid, and I'm in my twenties, so naturally I wouldn't believe what he said.

  It was only after I questioned him that he told the truth. It was my husband who arranged for him to come. "

   "What do you mean? Your husband is with him?"

   "This is the saddest part. I thought I had met my true love, but in the end I found out that he was an emotional liar." Georgia Gray wiped the tears from her cheeks, "What's even more sad is that my husband found him."

   "Why did your husband do that?"

   Luke's heart was filled with gossip. Is this a hat for himself?

  I think of island country movies, it seems that some men do have this BT hobby.

   "My husband and I have signed a prenuptial agreement. If he cheats, in addition to alimony, he will also leave me the villa in Los Angeles.

   If I cheat, he doesn't have to pay alimony, and the house will belong to him.

   I guess that's what he's after. "

   Luke said, "He wants to divorce you?"

"Yes.

  Since last year, there have been problems in our marriage, but I never thought about divorce, nor did I think that he would decide to divorce.

   I never thought that he would use such a despicable means to hire a man to seduce me, and secretly take pictures of the evidence of our happiness.

   He was horrible.

  The two most important men in my life teamed up to cheat on me.

  Knowing all this... almost blown my mind. "

   "Does your husband know about your killing of Kiru Jones?"

   "How can I let him know, he is deliberately harming me, if I let him know, he will definitely call the police."

   Luke asked, "Who handled the body of Kiru Jones?"

"I handled it by myself. Because I have no experience, I realized that I forgot to bring a shovel near Highway 1. At that time, there was a corpse in the trunk of the car. I was so nervous that I threw the corpse near Highway 1. Can only be shaded with some vegetation.

  If I had been more careful at the time, maybe the ending would not have been like this. "Georgia Gray said with emotion.

"The reason why we found Kiru Jones' body was because someone called and reported missing. Even if Kiru Jones' body was not found, the police would still investigate the case." Although Luke said so, but the investigation The intensity is definitely different.

   "Didn't Kiru Jones be sent by your husband? He disappeared suddenly, and your husband didn't notice the problem?"

  "After the incident, I was also worried about this and kept observing his reaction. Later, I felt that the connection between him and Kiru Jones was not as close as imagined.

   There should be a long-term agreement between them, and they will not be in frequent contact. "

   Luke said, "Why did you kill your husband?"

  “On December 29, a neighbor with a good relationship contacted me, saying that the police went to my house to investigate.

  I knew something might have been exposed.

  If I don’t want to die, I have to find another ‘true murderer’. I think over and over again that no one is more suitable than my husband.

   As long as he's dead, I'm safe.

  As long as he is dead, the property is also mine.

   This is the best result. "Georgia Gray wiped her tears and choked up, "I don't want to kill people either, they forced me." "

   "How did you kill Ariel Gray?"

  “I put poison in the red wine, and he was poisoned to death after drinking it, then I disposed of the poisoned bottle of red wine and replaced it with a bottle of drugged red wine.

  This is the second time I committed a crime, and I was much calmer than the first time. I transported his body to the wild for burial. This time I brought a shovel and buried all the evidence.

   Then I hid in the secret room, pretending to be imprisoned.

  I thought it would be safe..." Georgia Gray closed his eyes, his tone revealing helplessness, "How did you find the corpse? "

   Luke said, "You have a strong learning ability, and we really put a lot of thought into it this time."

   "Is this a compliment?"

  Luke didn’t answer. The case of dumping the body on Highway 1, the murder of the patrolman, and the robbery of the oil painting, the three cases were intertwined and intricate, and now one of them has finally been clarified.

  Among them, Kiru Jones, the deceased in the No. 1 corpse throwing case, and the policeman who was shot died with the same pistol. This clue may become a breakthrough in the murder of the policeman.

  Luke tentatively asked, "Where did you get the pistol that killed Kiru Jones?"

   "It belongs to my husband. It has been kept at home for self-defense. I took it out and used it in a moment of anger."

   "Why did you kill that patrolman?"

   "Killing a patrolman? I don't know what you mean?"

   “On December 25th, a patrolman was shot dead with the same pistol that you used.”

  Georgia Gray froze for a moment, "I didn't kill the policeman.

   I've confessed to two homicides, no need to lie. "

  Luke changed his mind, "Where is the pistol?"

   “I have my pistol in a safe at home in Los Angeles.”

   "Why put it there?"

  "Because I know that the police have searched my house, which proves that they have suspected me.

   You won't let it go if you can't find the murderer.

  I need a scapegoat, I left the pistol to plant it on my husband.

   As long as you don't find his body, he will always be a fugitive. "

  Luke searched Gray's house, and indeed saw a safe, but did not find a pistol in the safe, "What's in the safe?"

  Georgia Gray thought for a while and said, "$50,000 in cash, my jewelry, and a few limited-edition watches from my husband."

   Luke said, "We checked the safe, but we didn't find the items you mentioned in the safe."

  Georgia Gray spread her hands, "Then I don't know."

   "Did you check the safe when you got home?"

   "Yes, I also found that the contents of the safe were gone. I don't know what happened, but considering the pistol, I didn't dare to call the police."

   "Aside from you and your husband, does anyone else have the keys to your house?"

   "No, only the two of us have the key, and even if we have the house key, it is impossible for us to say the password of the safe."

  Luke stared at the other party. She had already confessed to killing her lover and husband, so there was no reason to lie anymore.

   Speaking of lying, Luke remembered one thing, "I have seen many criminals since I was a police officer, and few people can lie to me.

   But you are an exception. I made two transcripts for you, but I didn't find any obvious signs of lying.

Why? "

  Georgia Gray said, "Since killing Kiru Jones, I can't sleep well every day, thinking about it.

  I thought about being questioned by the police, considered various questions, and thought about the answers long ago. I also practiced it many times by myself.

  Perhaps practice makes perfect.

   Who knows.

  Maybe I have a talent for acting. "

  Luke took out photos of the people involved in the other two cases for her to identify, but she didn't know each other.

  The murderer pleaded guilty, but the whereabouts of the gun are still not found.

  However, Luke also had some guesses in his mind. Since Georgia Gray admitted to the murder charge, there is no need to lie anymore.

  If what she said is true, the pistol is gone, and the property is gone, could it be stolen?

  Because the Grays moved to a vacation house and there was no one at home, they were targeted by thieves and went to the house to steal.

   And whether this group of robbers is the same group as the oil painting robbery, if so, the relationship between the three cases will be smoothed out.

  Luke returned to the office, preparing to call everyone for a meeting.

  Porter walked over excitedly, "Captain, I found the stronghold of the robbers in the oil painting robbery."

  Before, Luke and Potter went to the scene of the robbery of the oil painting, and found a camera nearby that happened to capture the Ford commercial vehicle driven by the robber. Porter has been tracking the whereabouts of the car through surveillance along the way.

  This group of robbers is likely to be the key to solving the three cases, Luke asked, "Where is the stronghold?"

  …

  Dalman Community.

  Beside a red-roofed and yellow two-story villa, several police cars were parked around the courtyard of the villa, and a cordon had been pulled up around it. There were many police officers in patrol uniforms, and several plainclothes men wearing police badges.

  These people are all police officers from the Southern Branch, and the leader of the team is none other than Dave Gary, Detective of the Night Shift Detective Department of the Southern Branch.

  At this time, he was talking with someone on his mobile phone, looking at the yellow villa next to him from time to time.

   After a while, he hung up the phone, and a black police detective next to him surrounded him, "Detective Davao, should we do it now?"

   Dave Gary frowned slightly, "Wait a little longer."

   "I asked the neighbors to ask, there is probably no one in the house, why not just go in?"

  Davor Gali pointed out, "Captain Leo will be here soon."

  The black police detective shrugged and looked at the villa expectantly, "Do you think the oil painting will be hidden in this villa?"

"This should be a stronghold of robbers. Even if there are no oil paintings, some clues can be found." Dave Gary glanced at his watch, and was about to say something when three cars drove over in the distance, which immediately attracted him gaze.

  Three cars were parked not far from the villa. The door of the first car opened, and a black-haired young man in his twenties came out of the passenger cab.

   "Captain Luke!" Dave Gary frowned even tighter. His own captain didn't wait, but he waited for someone from the Robbery and Murder Division.

   This is tricky!

  The black police detective also showed surprise, "Luke Lee from the Robbery and Murder Division, why did you wait for this one?

  Where did he get the news? "

   "I'll deal with him, you tell everyone to prepare for action."

  The black police detective asked in a low voice, "Will you wait for Captain Leo?"

   "Luke Lee won't listen to Captain Leo."

   "You're right." The black police detective agreed deeply. They found this stronghold first. If they wait any longer, they will be cut off by the robbery and murder department.

  If the members of the Robbery and Murder Division were lucky enough to find the oil painting in the villa, they would get the credit and offer a reward, and the whole group would cry to death.

   Dave Gary squeezed out a smile and greeted, "Captain Li, why are you here?"

   This is the third time for Luke to see Dave Gary. The first time he met was when he took over the murder of police officer Jens Jauregui, and Dave Gary was in charge of handing over the case.

  The second time was to go to the Southern Branch to learn about the oil painting robbery, which was also received by Dave Galli at that time.

   "We found this stronghold while hunting down the killer of Police Officer Jens Jauregui. How about you?"

   Davao Galli said, "We found this stronghold when we were investigating the case of the oil painting being robbed. Why did the two cases find the same stronghold."

   "I said long ago that the two cases are related." Luke pointed to the yellow villa, "What's going on inside."

  Davo Gali briefly introduced, "We visited the surrounding neighbors, and we didn't see anyone haunting the yellow villa in the past two days, maybe no one.

  However, it is not ruled out that the suspect lives in a simple place and hides in the villa. "

  Luke raised his chin in the direction of the villa, "What are you going to do?"

   "We are about to enter the villa and search."

   "Need support?"

   Dave Gary wanted to say no, but his level was not as high as Luke's. If Luke turned his face, he really had no choice but to get some credit.

   "I'm going to take people into the villa to search. If there are robbers hiding in the villa, they are likely to escape. Do you need someone to watch outside?"

  Luke looked at Dave Gary and a group of police officers in the Southern Bureau. He could feel the guard against him from these people, and said with a smile, "OK, I'll take someone to the back door to watch."

   Dave Gary breathed a sigh of relief. I was afraid that Luke would be dumbfounded if he wanted to take over the scene because of his high rank.

   He was afraid that Luke would change his mind, so he ordered his men to check the equipment and enter the villa to search as soon as possible.

  Luke also gathered a squadron of people and took them to the backyard to guard.

  Xiao Hei regretted, "These guys actually ran ahead of us."

Luke tightened his body armor, checked the clips, and said, "The robbery happened in the early morning of the 30th. The night shift police detectives from the Southern Bureau rushed to the scene immediately. These guys must have more clues than us. They can find it here." Not surprisingly."

  Xiao Hei stared at the villa, and asked enviously, "Do you think the oil painting is hidden here?"

  …

   With a sound of "bang!", the door of the villa was knocked open by the door breaker.

   Dave Gary rushed into the villa with several heavily armed police officers.

   "lapd!"

   Dave Galli, with a troll in his hand, led a team to search the living room, "Safe."

  Other police officers also entered various rooms to search.

"Safety."

"Safety!"

"Safety."

  The police officers did not find the robbers in the villa. Many team members were relieved and a little bit disappointed.

  The black police detective poked his head from the second floor and shouted excitedly, "Inspector Davao, we found a wooden box in the study on the second floor. Judging by the size and style of the box, it is probably used to hold oil paintings."

  Many police officers were excited. These ten oil paintings were not only related to the case, but there was also a reward of 2 million.

   "Go up and have a look." Dave Gary led several police officers to the study on the second floor.

  The door lock of the study room was broken, it was estimated that it should have been locked before, a large brown wooden box was placed in the corner of the study room against the wall, and the corners of the box were padded with thick foam pads.

  The black police officer walked to the box and knocked off the lock with a hammer, "Bang!"

  The black police officer rubbed his hands, opened the lid of the wooden box, looked into the box, his eyes were wide open, and there was a voice in the box,

   "Didi..."

   "Fuck!" The black police officer cursed.

   "Boom!"

   There was a loud bang, breaking the roof, fireworks soaring into the sky, and half of the villa collapsed.
