Chapter 1236: Chapter 1236
“Here are the two victims, and we found this on one of them.” Allen Rivera took out a ring and placed it on the photo. “It’s the sa style as the one on the woman you killed.”
Hans Geoffrey laughed, “What, another unsolved case and you want to take the bla?”
Allen Rivera frowned and fell silent.
Not every criminal, once incarcerated, would confess to their cris.
Most would claim they were wrongly accused.
It wasn’t unusual for soone like Hans Geoffrey, who was about to face the death penalty, to persistently deny it.
“Did you make this ring?” Allen asked.
Hans replied, “No.”
“You said you had never seen the victim, so why are your fingerprints on her ring?”
Hans turned his face away, “I don’t know.”
“How many won in the chat group did you maintain this kind of intimate relationship with?”
“I don’t rember.”
“How many did you et in person?”
“Never t any of them.”
“Why was the victim heading to your community the day she was killed?”
“I don’t know.”
Allen was silent for a mont, then spoke again, “Hans Geoffrey, you keep claiming you’re innocent, but you’re being vague on all these key questions. This won’t change your circumstances.”
“I truly don’t know. How do you expect to answer?” Hans’s eyes flashed with anger, “Do you want to make up stories?”
Allen’s gaze lingered on Hans’s face. The anger and despair in Hans’s eyes didn’t seem feigned, yet all the evidence pointed directly at him.
In this case, was Hans Geoffrey really innocent?… If he was being frad, what was the real killer’s motive? And why choose Hans as the scapegoat?
Allen looked down at the photos and ring on the table and asked a blunt, simple question—
“Hans, have you ever killed anyone?”
“No!” Hans glared at Allen, enunciating each word sharply, “Yes, I admit that over the past two years, I’ve chatted with many won in the group, but whether it’s the woman who died or the ones in the photos you showed , I’ve never seen them! Never!”
Allen stared at him and said, “I’ll arrange for you to take a polygraph test.”
…
Two days later, Hans Geoffrey underwent a polygraph test in prison.
The results of a polygraph test are about 75% to 80% accurate, though not admissible as formal evidence, they can still provide so reference for the case.
From the polygraph results, every answer Hans gave was truthful.
—He was not lying.
After the test, Hans was taken away, leaving Allen alone in the eting room for a long ti.
Sothing felt off to him.
Hans was highly emotional, it’s unlikely he could remain so rational as to fool a polygraph.
And the timing didn’t add up either.
Hans only joined the chat group in the last two years, but the Black Rose case went back almost six or seven years.
Six or seven years ago, Hans had no involvent with Rose Date, so how could he have killed the won in the chat group?
So, rule him out? Hans wasn’t the Black Rose Killer?
But what about the current case? Who killed the woman found in the trunk of his car?
Allen wasn’t in a hurry to find the true Black Rose killer. After all, the case had gone unsolved for years. If Hans wasn’t the perpetrator, Allen could continue looking for other suspects. But the Wind Pavilion Garden case had to be right, it couldn’t be wrong.
Hans was sentenced to death.
As the approval procedures moved along, there was less than a month left before he would be executed.
The prosecutor’s greatest fear isn’t failing to catch the criminal, but sending an innocent person to the execution chamber, even to hell.
Allen held his phone, deliberating for a long ti.
Finally, he sighed heavily and made a call.
“Purple Sumrs, can you talk? There’s a case I need your help with…”
