Chapter 258 Serial Killer, Disguising Identity (3 more)
In Luke's case this time, Elsa still has to communicate with Dustin again.
If nothing is found, she must at least make sure that Luke and the others are not angered by Deputy Chief Condra.
It's really not impossible.
Whoever has a niece who is abused and killed, and shows it in public, will not be in a good mood.
She trusts in Luke's abilities, but she can't help but reassure her absolute henchman, even if it does so, it might affect Deputy Chief Condra's sense of her.
However, she didn't just want to be an official to be a policeman.
Over there, Luke and the others drove off.
It didn't take long for Selena's face to become solemn: "Luke, this case ...... It's a bit of a hassle. ”
Luke's face was calm: "Oh, tell me. ”
"It's been three days since the case happened, and the first victims are two high school students, a man named Steve Ers, and a woman named Cathy Becker, who is the niece of Deputy Commissioner Condra. Yesterday there was news from the police station that a suspect had been caught. The man's name was Billy Lomis, and he was the victim's male classmate who was caught red-handed on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend Sidney. Selena said.
Luke: "Huh? "There are all suspects here, so what's the trouble?
Selena: "But, a year ago, the suspect's girlfriend, Sidne, who was also a classmate of the two victims, the girl's mother, Morion, was killed in a similar manner a year ago. At the time, a suspect named Cotton-Wilray was arrested and is now in jail, where he is likely to be sentenced to death if convicted. ”
Luke's eyes flashed: "So, this suspect Billy is already a suspect in the second serial killer?" ”
Selena: "Yes, the sheriff over there has a headache because of that. What's worse is that this time the suspect Billy also had plenty of time to commit the crime in the last case. Of course, he didn't have a clear motive, after all, it was his girlfriend's mother. ”
Luke nodded slightly: "If it is a serial killer, the motive may not be the same as that of a normal person, this can be considered for the time being, what are the other problems?" ”
"The father of the girl, Neil Prescott, who is the husband of the victim Morrien a year ago, is said to have been on a business trip for several days, and now the police are unable to contact him." Selena continued.
Luke laughed, "Interesting, this is really interesting!" ”
In the United States, the first suspect in most homicides is the person who has a relationship with the victim, including but not limited to husband and wife, divorced couples, boyfriends and girlfriends, and even male and female friends.
Because it's really common.
It is likely that because of property, family conflicts, turning green on the head, or all of these situations occur in a case, there are always people who can't help but be impulsive and want to solve the problem with violence.
In this case, the high school victim is a couple, the newly caught suspect Billy and the escaped victim Sidne are also a couple, and the mother Morrion and the previous suspect Cotton may be in a relationship with the lover (river crab), which involves her husband Neil, who has just lost contact.
It sounds like a labyrinthine case.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that the sheriff of Woodsburg will agree to Deputy Chief Condra's request to let Luke and the others go over to investigate the case.
The longer things drag on, the greater the impact.
This is a serial murder case in which three people died and one person was attempted, and two suspects were involved, one of whom is still awaiting the death sentence.
Sooner or later, this case will attract the attention of the American public, after all, this case is really a bit weird and mysterious.
How many mentally abnormal people in the United States, or who have been taught stupid by anti-intellectual education? Just look at some of the serial killers who are wildly sought after by fans.
Although the number of patients with this type of brain deficiency is very small, the absolute number is still significant.
Coupled with the blind worship of some ignorant young people and the deliberate imitation of some people with ulterior motives, there may be several, or even a dozen or even a dozen neuropathies who imitate and commit crimes in the United States.
Luke didn't let Selena continue to go through the file, but told her to close her eyes and recuperate.
For this kind of complicated case, it is not very useful to take some time in the car to read the file, and it is better to go there and conduct on-site investigation more efficiently.
The car headed all the way southeast.
Woodsburg is about 100 kilometers away in Orange County, southeast of downtown Los Angeles, but there was a traffic jam on the road, and the two arrived in Woodsburg two hours later.
Entering this small town, some news gathering cars appeared on the side of the road one after another, and many reporters were there holding microphones and talking to the camera.
Luke roughly counted.
Boy! Along the way, he saw eight TV stations, two of which were still five major TV networks.
How big is this case? Luke pondered for a moment.
Suddenly, he said to Selena: "You say, how about we pretend to be students to investigate the case this time?" ”
Selena: "Huh? ”
Luke is not a big problem, but although she looks young, her temperament is too different from that of a middle school student.
Luke nodded: "Just say you...... Looking older? Uh, well, you're going to pretend to be a new teacher. "Someone with a strong desire to survive finally stopped from the precipice and did not continue to die.
Selena retracted her gaze and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right." And I can go and apply for a PE teacher. ”
Luke: "Huh? ”
Selena: "I can teach Ba Rou, it's very similar to women's self-defense anyway." ”
Luke: "...... Hopefully, we'll succeed in getting both identities. ”
The two drove to the police station here, but instead of going inside, Luke called Sheriff Pock out.
The sheriff, Pock, a balding white man in his mid-fifties, met in the grove behind the police station and introduced each other's identities, and Luke explained his thoughts.
Poke frowned: "You guys are like this, can you do it?" ”
"No matter how you look at this case, it was an acquaintance who committed the crime, and the murderer was from the city, so he was so familiar with the environment. It's no more convenient for us to identify ourselves to investigate the case than Sheriff Polk. Luke smiled.
After a pause, he continued: "Let the principal of that middle school arrange for us to enter as transfer students and trainee teachers, but our identity is limited to you knowing, just say that we are your distant relatives." ”
Poke nodded thoughtfully, "Well, that's it." ”
Luke chuckled, "Sheriff Polk, we appreciate your full support. But when we reveal our identities, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of the murderer and let him run away. ”
Pock thought for a moment, already understanding what he meant.
The two hid their identities to investigate the case, which was a small movement, and the small town police station was not ashamed.
And if they show their identity as foreign aid in a small town, Pock, the sheriff, is undoubtedly the most embarrassing.
