Chapter 73 Idiot Police
Angela rarely had much appetite today. She was playing with the wine glass in her hand, shaking the little wine left in it, and frowning.
“When the suspect committed the illegal entry, he just wanted to catch Jeff and get the illegal drugs. It can be inferred that Jeff either stole these things from him or failed to pay the money he owed. . ”
“But I can’t think of any reason for internal strife between the suspects. The forensic investigators said that several types of illegal drugs were found in Bruno’s home, which shows that the conflict was not caused by uneven distribution of the spoils.”< br>
Jack scratched his head: "Is it possible that it is not internal strife, but that the suspect has other enemies?"
But then he overturned his guess.
"This is too coincidental, it happened just a few hours later."
On the side, Jia Lisi couldn't help but sigh after listening to John's introduction to the case.
"This family is so unfortunate, especially the father. He lost his son just because of a small bag of pills, and even his wife was raped in front of him."
Everyone's hearts moved. Wesley who was listening raised his hands.
"Is it possible that the father actually met the suspects and recognized them on the spot? He actually lied to you."
John agreed and directly assumed the perspective of the father.
"If anyone dares to hurt my Henry, I will definitely repay blood with blood."
Angela's brows suddenly widened and she put down the wine glass in her hand.
“Matt Christian paid to send his son Jeff to rehab for addiction. The reason why he hid this from us was not because he felt ashamed of it, but because”< br>
"It's because Jeff probably met Bruno in an addiction treatment center, and Matt, who went to visit his son, probably met Bruno there, and then recognized him on the spot when the incident happened today and decided to personally Take revenge."
Jack accepted it excitedly, but then he was a little disappointed.
“But that doesn’t help us find the other murderer.”
Angel seemed to have found hope again.
“Anyway, we will inform Matt tomorrow to come to the police station in the morning and conduct the interrogation again to see if he knows another suspect.”
Early the next morning, at the door of the interrogation room, Jack and Angela glanced at Matt Christian, who was waiting inside. The grieving father still had bruises on his face and looked haggard.
"How to ask? Good cop, bad cop? Are you playing the good or the bad one?"
Jack was eager to try, and his mastery-level psychology skills finally had a chance to be used.
Angela shook her head: "We are not interrogating prisoners, we should be sympathetic police officers and stupid police officers, you act stupid."
After saying that, she took a bottle of mineral water and put it in her hand The folder was handed to Jack.
"Hello, Mr. Christine, I'm sorry to trouble you to come to the police station. Is Marilyn feeling better today?"
Angela handed over the mineral water in her hand with a look of concern.
"Ah, thank you, we didn't sleep last night, Marilyn. She couldn't stop crying, you know. What happened yesterday was a nightmare for her."
Matt Christian's eyes were still a little red and swollen. Although he was depressed, he seemed very cooperative.
Angela looked apologetic and comforted: "Sorry, we just follow the case handling process. We still have a few small problems. After that, you can go home and continue to accompany her. I know she must be in great need now. You." Looking at Matt who couldn't help nodding and looking a little absent-minded, Jack opened the folder with a businesslike expression and began to ask.
"Have Jeff been taking prescription painkillers? We found Oxycontin in his room."
Matt explained with a helpless expression: "Last year he had a knee injury. He was injured, and the damn doctor prescribed this thing to him. After that, he was addicted to the drug for a short period of time, and then I sent him to the DU for withdrawal.” High."
"Yes, but I think it's worth it."
Although he admitted it easily and did not try to deny it, it was easy to see that he was trying his best to downplay the matter.
Jack nodded, then asked again.
“So you don’t know about Jeff not getting clean, do you?”
Matt’s face showed shock and annoyance at the right time: “No, I completely Without knowing it, he must have secretly hidden these pills. Damn it, Marilyn and I didn't even notice."
Jack handed over a photo with a bloody face.
"Ah, sorry, I think I got the wrong photo."
He rummaged through the files, but found nothing.
“This man’s name is Bruno Winch. This is what he looked like when we found him yesterday. This is another case, but we found out that he was also a patient at the Xinsheng Drug Rehabilitation Center in Malibu and we are preparing to investigate. The connection between the two. "
Matt was stunned when he looked at the photo, and then he quickly realized, "What does this have to do with the illegal break-in of my house? Is it related to Jeff?"
Jack spoke without any hesitation, and told the truth: "That's it, the Robbery and Murder Division gave us this case again yesterday, as if we weren't busy enough. As a result, during the investigation I found out that this man and Jeff stayed in the same rehabilitation center.
So we suspect that both cases are related to controlled drugs. The other party may have come after Jeff, and then went to find Bruno. Do you know this person? "
Matt quickly denied, "No, I don't know him. Is this person dead? "
Jack shrugged and replied nonchalantly: "He's not dead, but it's different from dead. The doctor said that even if he was revived, he would still be in a vegetative state. "
Seeing a flash of relief in Matt's eyes, Jack and Angela looked at each other quietly, understanding.
Then Angela glared at Jack impatiently. : "Look for this Bruno's photo again and ask Mr. Christine to identify it carefully. If no connection can be found, the case will be returned to the Robbery and Murder Division. We don't have time to wipe their butts for them. ”
Seeing Jack rushing out of the interrogation room like his butt was on fire, Angela said with an apologetic look.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Christine. He is just a newcomer who has only been in the job for half a year. Although young people are very aggressive, it is inevitable."
Matt returned to his original absent-minded appearance, but He kept nodding his head with an indifferent expression.
After a while, Jack came back with a normal photo. Matt once again denied seeing the Bruno in the photo and left.
Looking at Matt Christian's slightly rickety back as he left, Jack suddenly lost the joy of discovering the truth, because he discovered that this unfortunate man actually had a better night than yesterday. Most of my hair has turned gray.
