Chapter 560 Confession

Luke contacted Matthew and asked him to check the road surveillance along the Dolittle community and find out the driving route of the black Chevrolet car.

Also, mark the car wash locations along the way, especially self-service car washes.

Luke guessed that the person who washed the car was probably Thomas Colley. The reason was also very simple. Either he washed away his own traces, or the place where the body was dumped made the car dirty.

The police marked several possible locations where the body was dumped through road surveillance of cars and surrounding car washes.

Subsequently, the police divided into three groups and searched for Walda Baker's body.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, in a woods a few kilometers away from Thomas Colley's home.

Several police cars parked on the side of the road, and Xiao Hei and Porter also got out of the cars.

This is the second possible body dumping location searched by Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei simply arranged a search plan, which was mainly divided into two aspects. On the one hand, it was a manual search to see if there were any newly excavated places around.

One aspect is to have police dogs search for Walda Baker's scent or blood.

After Marcus arranged the task, he also led a group of people to conduct a search.

Marcus has been a detective for some time, and he has matured visibly. Of course, it may also have something to do with him becoming a father.

Marcus's search speed was not fast. This was also what Luke had told him. Walda Baker was dead and could not run away. It didn't matter if it was slower, but the search must be careful. If clues were missed, it would delay the investigation.

He has always been convinced by his good partner Xiao Hei, and naturally he listened to his words.

"Woof woof woof..."

A dog barked not far away, "Inspector, there is something discovered here."

Xiao Hei walked over quickly and saw a beagle lying on the ground digging the soil. The soil was a new layer and there were obvious signs of being turned over.

"Detective Marcus, there may be something suspicious down here."

Marcus nodded and called for someone to dig with a shovel.

The dog handler pulled the beagle aside and fed him a handful of dog food.

Two strong police officers excavated together, and due to the loose soil, the digging speed was very fast. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Xiao Hei faintly smelled the smell of blood.

"Dig it!"

A patrolman shouted, and Xiao Hei went over to check.

I saw that the patrolman peeled off the soil above, revealing a piece of brown hair with blood stains on it. It was a little teddy that had just died.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Poor little guy, we didn't mean to disturb you." Xiao Hei sighed, waved his hand and said, "Bury it."

The patrolman took a shovel and filled the surrounding soil back into the hole, and the soil fell on Teddy.

Xiao Hei always feels that something is wrong. Is it too coincidental?

"Wait, get Teddy's body out and keep digging."

The dog handler reminded, "Detective Marcus, the police dog will also sound the alarm when it smells the body of the Teddy dog."

Xiao Hei didn't answer, "Keep digging."

The two patrolmen looked at each other and could only continue digging.

After a while, a patrolman's shovel seemed to have dug into something. He pushed open the soil above and found a black bag. Suddenly, everyone around him became excited.

The two patrol officers continued to dig and dug out the entire black bag. Xiao Hei put on gloves and opened the bag, revealing a male corpse.

Walda Baker.

…

The next day, early morning.

Office of the 1st Squadron, Robbery and Murder Division.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Luke called a meeting.

The deputy team member took out a piece of information and said, "Let me talk first.

Yesterday, I took people to the CBS News Department to investigate.

I also got the report letter from the head of the news department. The content of the report letter was similar to what was broadcast on the news. The reporter's signature was the deceased Rohel Horn.

The investigation into this letter mainly focuses on two aspects, one is the authenticity of the letter, and the other is the identity of the sender.

The letter was delivered by Parcel. I contacted the courier and made a note for him.

The place where the letter was sent was the crime scene of the deceased Rohel Horn. In addition, I asked the courier to identify the photo. It was indeed the letter delivered by Rohel Horn himself.

Afterwards, I met Rohel Horn’s family again. According to Rohel Horn’s wife, the letter looked very much like Rohel Horn’s handwriting.

I took some of Rohel Horn's autographed letters from his home and have sent them to the technical team for note appraisal. I believe the results will be available soon. "

The deputy team concluded, “Judging from the current situation, this letter is most likely mailed by Rohel Horn.

As for whether the illegal human experiments described in the letter are true, I have not investigated. I’ll leave it to the relevant departments to deal with the headache. "

Jackson said, “A lot of people like conspiracy theories, about the Rothschilds controlling the United States, about the moon landing being faked, etc.

Now that Rohel Horn is dead, even though Kalman Pharmaceuticals has not conducted illegal human experiments, even if the relevant departments have clarified it.

Some people still won't believe it.

Instead, they will feel that the government departments are helping to cover up, and there must be something shady. "

"Come on, we are only responsible for investigating the case, let Kalman Pharmaceutical Company deal with these matters." Xiao Hei interrupted Jackson and said with a smile, "Guys, I have something important to announce.

I found Walda Baker's body. "

Jackson pouted, "Congratulations, Detective, you're lucky."

Xiao Hei shook his right index finger, "No no no, this is not just luck, Thomas Colley is very cunning, he put a dead dog on the body, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably miss it.

I found the problem, asked someone to move the dog's body away, and continued digging, and then found Walda Baker's body..."

The deputy captain interrupted him, "Come on, kid, save this kind of boasting in the bar.

I just want to know if there is any evidence of the murderer around the body."

"Of course." Xiao Hei looked through the information, "According to the forensic test, Walda Baker The time of death was around 1 a.m. yesterday, and the fatal injury was the strangle mark on the neck.

To be precise, he was strangled to death by a belt. The DNA of the deceased was detected in the middle of the belt, and the DNA of Thomas Coley was detected on both sides of the belt. "Xiao Hei made a strangling gesture, "It can be confirmed that he is the murderer."

The deputy captain nodded and praised, "Very good, you have done a good deed, kid."

Xiao Hei showed a proud look, "I have a feeling that it won't be long before I will be Deputy Captain Marcus, haha."

Deputy Captain "..."

...

Interrogation room.

Luke and Xiao Hei were in charge of the interrogation. When the two were sorting out the case materials, Thomas Coley was brought into the interrogation room.

Xiao Hei greeted him with a familiar smile, "Hey, man, how did you sleep last night?"

Thomas Cole curled his lips, "The bed is hard and has a sour smell, but I slept soundly."

Xiao Hei said, "If you don't do anything wrong, you will sleep soundly. If you had this awareness earlier, we wouldn't have to spend so much time investigating the case."

Thomas Cole said disdainfully, "When you watch TV, do you take a small notebook to quote the lines?

This set of rhetoric is terrible."

Luke was not interested in the malnourished conversation between the two and interrupted, "We found the body of Walda Baker."

Thomas Cole's face froze immediately, and he seemed a little absent-minded.

Xiao Hei added, "To be exact, I found it."

Thomas Cole was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head and frowned, "How did he die? When did he die?"

Xiao Hei pointed at Thomas Cole, "I have to ask you, the murderer!"

"No, I didn't know he was dead, let alone kill him." Thomas Cole widened his eyes and said angrily, "Come on, I'm tired of your groundless accusations."

Xiao Hei smiled as if he was watching a play, "Your acting is good, haha.

But it's useless, we have found Walda Baker's body, and by the way, there is also a poor little Teddy."

Thomas Cole sighed and sat down on the chair a little dejectedly. Before, he still held a glimmer of luck, thinking that the police were bluffing him, but now he knows that the police did find Walda Baker's body.

After a long silence, he took a deep breath again, "Even if you find Walda Baker's body, it has nothing to do with me. I didn't kill anyone."

Luke took out a photo with a brown belt on it, "Does it look familiar?"

Thomas Colley glanced at the photo and looked away.

Luke continued, "After forensic identification, this belt was the murder weapon that killed Walda Baker. He was strangled to death.

And your DNA was found on both sides of the belt, which is enough to prove that you are the murderer who strangled Walda Baker.

Don't try to quibble anymore, it's useless."

Thomas Coley snorted and stared at Luke, "I shouldn't have been in the yard at that time. If I wasn't there, maybe you wouldn't have found me.

I can't figure it out now, how did you find out that there was something wrong with me?"

Luke didn't answer, but asked, "You kidnapped a minor, and you are suspected of arson in the Kalman Company building, and now you killed Walda Baker.

By the way, there is Rohel Horn, he was also killed by you.

Why do you do this?"

Thomas Coley sighed, "This matter is a long story, can you give me a cigarette?"

Luke nodded and motioned for Xiao Hei to hand him a cigarette.

"Thank you." Thomas Colley took the lit cigarette and took a puff. "This story started about ten years ago. At that time, Rochelle Horn and I were about the same age and we had similar experiences.

I lost my job and had a wife and children to support. I needed money.

I sent out many resumes, but no one responded. I once wandered the streets and met some homeless people.

Later, someone handed out flyers to homeless people. I was a little surprised at the time. Who would hand out flyers to homeless people?

After reading it, I realized that it was Kalman Pharmaceuticals that was recruiting drug testers.

Yes, I was once a Kalman Pharmaceuticals employee. I was a drug tester at Mann Pharmaceuticals, and they paid me a lot.

I really needed money, so I went. ”

Thomas Coley wiped his eyes and said self-deprecatingly, “I can’t remember the last time I cried.

I knew that the job of a drug tester was dangerous, so while I was working as a drug tester, I never gave up looking for a job.

About four months later, I found a new job. I cherished this job and put in a lot of effort.

My work and life got back on track.

However, three years later, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that I had liver disease.

At first, the doctor said that if it was discovered in time, it could be cured. However, in the past few years, my symptoms have become worse and worse, and it has developed to the advanced stage of liver cancer.

The doctor was also puzzled, thinking that this situation was rare, and asked me in detail about my past experiences.

After learning that I worked as a drug test technician at Kalman Pharmaceuticals, he felt that the deterioration of my disease was probably related to this experience.

I am angry.

Over the years, due to illness, I was unable to work normally and had a bad temper. My wife also left me with the children.

I have nothing left.

Don't you think I should take revenge? "

Luke asked, "Do you think Kalman Pharmaceuticals is responsible for all this?"

"Kalman Pharmaceuticals is the direct cause, as well as the damn system of drug testers. This job should not exist at all. I want to change everything."

"Tell me about your crime plan and process?"

Thomas Colley put out the cigarette in his hand, "I knew I couldn't do this alone, so I found Walda Baker. This guy is only interested in profit. As long as he gives enough Money can easily be bought.

With the help of Walda Beck, I found Rohel Horn. He was very much like me back then. He was unemployed and had a family to support, so he had to become a drug tester. I understand how this kind of person thinks.

Very pitiful and very sad. "

Luke took the opportunity to ask, "How did Rohel Horn die?"

"He committed suicide."

"Why did he commit suicide?"

“He owes a lot of loan sharks because of gambling. Even if he works as a drug tester, he can’t pay it off, and the compound interest will only increase.

The miserable life of the past six months has almost crushed him. He is very tired and wants to rest.

I told him that he was now a drug tester for Kalman Pharmaceuticals, and if death was caused by drugs, Kalman Pharmaceuticals would pay a large sum of money.

In addition, I promised to give his family a large amount of money.

In this way, his family's life will be settled, and he will no longer have to work as hard as before.

Some good married men are really boring. They have lost the joy of life and live more because of responsibilities.

Such was the case with Rohel Horn.

There was no road ahead of him, and he didn't want to let his family down, so he agreed.

I have to admit that he was brave at that last moment. There are many people like him, but very few people dare to take this step. "

Luke asked, "How much did you give Rohel Horn?"

"Two hundred thousand dollars, that's all the money I had, and I even mortgaged my house to raise the money."

"Where's the money?"

"I don't know, maybe Rohel Horn hid it somewhere, or gave it to his family.

He deserves that money and I will not cheat a poor guy like me.

Instead, I do it to save more people like me. "
