Moreover, the baseball bat used to kill the victim also belonged to Alec Wyatt.
"What ti did you et with Latifa Gallo, and when did you part ways?"
"t at the motel at 2:30, parted ways around 3:30."
"Where were you between 4:30 and 6:00?"
"I was asleep at the motel, that woman is crazy, we played poker twice, I was exhausted.
I needed to rest, didn't leave until after seven in the evening.
After dinner, I ca to this bar for drinks."
"After eting with Latifa Gallo, was there anything unusual about her?"
"No, she was always very serious, not to make you laugh, but I am actually a bit afraid of her."
"Do you have any suspects in mind for the person who killed her?"
"No, actually I don't know her very well."
"What is the na of the motel where you t?"
"Murphy's Motel."
David warned, "We will verify what you've said, you know the consequences of lying."
"I swear, everything I've said is true.
I haven't done anything illegal, just played poker behind my girlfriend's back.
I had nothing to do with Latifa Gallo's death."
Luke kept staring at him, not detecting any signs of lying, then Luke sent soone to Murphy's Motel to investigate and confird Mbak Eta's statent.
Since Mbak Eta is not the killer, his words are sowhat credible.
The victim had a conflict with her husband and was unfaithful, a very dangerous move, raising the suspicion against the victim's husband Alec Wyatt further.
...
The following morning.
Robbery and Murder Departnt office.
Inside the break room.
Alec Wyatt stood up and paced around the break room anxiously, occasionally walking to the window to observe the outside.
He received the police station's call first thing in the morning, informing him of new progress in the case and requesting him to co to the station.
Upon arrival at the station, he was led to the break room, and half an hour passed with no one paying attention to him.
Could this be the usual state at the police station?
After a while, there was a commotion outside the door, and Luke and Jackson pushed the door open and entered the break room.
Luke placed a file on the table, "Mr. Alec Wyatt, sorry for making you wait."
"It's alright, I know you must be busy investigating the case, waiting a bit longer is fine."
Luke shook his head, "No, actually I'm not busy, I've been at the office the whole ti.
However, my colleague went to your Vincent Travel Agency and had a friendly chat with your coworkers.
Do you have anything you want to say?"
Alec Wyatt showed a nervous look, "Sorry, I don't understand what this ans?"
Luke got straight to the point, "Based on police estimates, your wife's ti of death was between 4:30 and 6:00 the day before yesterday afternoon.
During your statent, you said you were at the travel agency working during that ti.
My colleague went to your agency to verify, according to the front desk, you weren't working that afternoon, where were you?"
"Oh god, are you investigating ? Why?" Alec Wyatt asked loudly.
In Luke's view, this was a sign of guilt, "Because you lied.
Let guess, you didn't go to the travel agency that day, but followed your wife, then witnessed sothing that shouldn't have happened.
You were very emotional and angry, and killed your wife."
"No, this is a false accusation, I did not follow her, nor did I kill her."
"Then where did you go?"
"That's my privacy."
"Maybe it was before, but once you lied to the police, it's different now.
You're interfering with the investigation, fabricating an alibi, which is obstruction of justice.
I can arrest you right now."
"Please don't do this."
Alec Wyatt sighed, "I'll tell you.
I indeed didn't go to the travel agency, I went to see a lawyer that day."
"Why hide it?"
Alec Wyatt said helplessly, "Because I saw a divorce lawyer, I was worried you would suspect, so I concealed it."
"You plan to divorce Latifa Gallo?"
"No, she's the one intending the divorce, she proposed it, I tried to reconcile but she was firm.
I had no choice but to seek legal advice."
Luke pursued, "What conflict arose between you two?"
Alec Wyatt shook his head, "I don't know."
Luke wagged his right index finger, "Don't lie to , you can't deceive , why?"
Alec Wyatt was silent for a mont, licking his lips, "She... thinks I cheated."
"Who is your affair partner?"
"No, I didn't cheat, nor do I have an affair.
Besides, even if I did, I have the right to privacy, it's my personal life."
Luke stared at him for a while and handed him pen and paper, "Write down the lawyer's na, firm, contact information."
Alec Wyatt sighed heavily, sowhat unwillingly, but complied with Luke's request, "Things have reached this point, I'm also very helpless..."
"You don't want to divorce her?"
"Initially that's true, but now... I'm uncertain."
Luke handed the note to Jackson beside him and continued to ask, "Tell about the pinhole caras installed in the house."
"I've already explained."
"From the mont you lied, your statent is void, why install pinhole caras in the house? Trying to catch an affair?"
Alec Wyatt held up three fingers, "No, I swear, the installation of pinhole caras has nothing to do with ."
"Then who do you think is responsible?"
Alec Wyatt thought for a mont, "If I must say, I think it's more likely that Latifa Gallo installed them herself."
"Do you have evidence?"
"No, just a guess."
"What's your basis?"
Alec Wyatt interlocked his fingers, "I can't say for sure, just a feeling.
She likes to control everything, arrange everything, for example, al tis, hocoming tis.
If we travel together, all plans must be made by her; she likes everything orderly.
She has a very strong personality."
"Was there anything unusual before she was killed?"
"Yes, she recently beca more sensitive and irritable. We've had several argunts, I always felt she might have ntal health issues, I wanted her to see a doctor, but she refused, worried a bad diagnosis would affect her work.
Honestly, that's the scariest part for ."
"Knock Knock..."
The door to the break room sounded, and Matthew pushed the door open and entered, "Captain, I've found so new clues."
Luke stood up, left the break room, and asked, "What clues?"
"I've discovered the identity of a suspected killer."
Luke was a bit surprised, "How did you find out?"
"I matched the surveillance footage from Murphy's Motel and the victim's ho community from the afternoon the day before yesterday and found a black Chevrolet sedan had been to both locations. I then checked surveillance along the route and found this black Chevrolet was tailing and following the victim's car the whole ti.
Then I checked the suspect vehicle's information."
Na, Sherda Karl
Date of Birth, February 12, 1999
Phone Number, 714 826 7812
Address, Salmo Community No. 302
Criminal Record, theft, robbery
License Plate, 2web328
Luke checked the owner information, the owner was Sherda, sa as the na the victim wrote down, and the owner had a criminal record, fitting the suspect profile, no wonder Matthew was so excited.
However, yesterday morning, Luke had also checked community surveillance near the victim's ho and had reviewed the vehicle owner's identity but hadn't found a car owner nad Sherda.
Did I overlook so clue?
Luke sat down at Matthew's computer desk and personally checked the video surveillance and discovered a new problem.
Matthew asked eagerly, "Captain, is he the person we're looking for?"
Luke said thoughtfully, "Yes, find him, and maybe we'll uncover the truth."
