Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

Dorit Community.

Blackie swaggered into Thomas Colley's yard and shouted loudly, "Mr. Colley, our operation is over.

You can safely go back to the yard and have your coffee.

By the way, the house structure diagram you drew is terrible."

Thomas Colley opened the door, glanced at Blackie, then at the police cars, waved his hand, and a smile appeared on his face, but he did not answer.

"LAPD!"

"Police, freeze!"

At that moment, several officers rushed out from both sides of the door, pinning Thomas Colley to the ground first. Follow current novels on novel[f]ire.net

Soon after, Raymond led his team into the house to search.

Luke also entered Thomas Colley's yard, glanced at Thomas Colley who was being searched, and then looked towards the house.

He suspected another suspect, Walda Becker, was hiding inside.

"Secure!"

"No suspects found."

Quickly, Raymond searched Thomas Colley's house but found no trace of the other suspect, Walda Becker.

Luke felt somewhat disappointed. He walked to Thomas Colley and asked, "What is your name?"

"Thomas Colley, I've told you before.

Are you guys crazy? Why are you arresting me?"

"You are suspected of being involved in the kidnapping of Milia Kuni."

"That's slander. I didn't do it."

"Where is Walda Becker?"

"I don't know any Walda Becker, this is completely framing." Thomas Colley appeared angry, "Let me guess, you couldn't catch the suspect, so you want me to be the scapegoat.

Come on, I just helped you guys, you can't treat me like this."

"Stop denying, the kidnapped victim Milia Kuni has already identified you."

Thomas Colley laughed, "You can't scare me.

I won't admit to something I didn't do."

"I'm not scaring you. If she didn't recognize you, do you think we'd arrest you directly?"

Thomas Colley's smile became a bit stiff, "Okay, then tell me, how did she recognize me?"

"You admit you participated in the kidnapping of Milia Kuni."

"No, I don't admit it. I'm just curious. If your victim really saw the kidnapper's face, why didn't the kidnapper kill her?"

"She didn't see your face, but she can recognize your voice."

"I don't recall ever talking to someone named Milia Kuni."

"Shall I invite her to come over for a reidentification?"

Thomas Colley shook his head, "No need.

I didn't do it, why am I being treated like a criminal?

Besides, people's voices sound quite similar, the recognition isn't very high, maybe my voice just sounds like the person who kidnapped her.

I've never heard of convicting someone based solely on voice alone.

What do you think, sir."

At that time, Raymond came over and whispered, "Captain, we searched Thomas Colley's house, but didn't find any trace of Walda Becker, nor any suspicious items as tools for the crime.

However, I found a prepaid phone in Thomas Colley's drawer, no call records, but the contacts list only recorded a single phone number."

Luke took the phone and opened the contact list. He felt the number was familiar and pressed the dial button directly.

Moments later, the phone connected, and a slightly nervous voice sounded from the phone, "Hello, this is Lydia Kuni."

That's right, this number is the prepaid phone number left by the kidnapper, Walda Becker, for the hostage's mother.

"This is Luke from the Robbery and Murder Department.

Ms. Lydia Kuni, you don't need to worry, your daughter has been successfully rescued."

"Thank you, Miss Jenny has already notified me. I'm on my way over."

"Okay, I'll hang up now."

"Thank you again, Captain Lee."

Luke hung up the phone, questioning Thomas Colley, "How do you explain this?"

Thomas Colley snorted, "Is it illegal to have a prepaid phone? If a phone alone is enough to convict, there would be too many guilty people in this world."

"You're right, owning a prepaid phone isn't illegal.

But the only number recorded in this phone is the kidnapper's phone left for the hostage's family.

And this phone was found in your drawer, how do you explain this?"

Thomas Colley's face looked troubled, and he lowered his head without speaking.

Luke continued to urge, "Come on, don't harbor any lucky thoughts.

With the identification from the victim and the kidnapper's phone found in your house, it is enough to open an investigation against you.

Do you think when in court, the jury will believe your words or the victim's?"

Thomas Colley slowly raised his head, showing an angry expression, "Fuck!

It must be that idiot Walda Becker who input the number, such a fool." Thomas Colley showed remorse, "This was a mistake, I should have thrown away this phone earlier, then it would be safe."

Luke didn't believe so, anything done leaves traces.

A person can forget things while cooking, let alone repeatedly engaging in major criminal cases; convicting Thomas Colley was just a matter of time.

"Do you admit to participating in the kidnapping of Milia Kuni?"

Thomas Colley took a deep breath, "I was just an accomplice, helping out, Walda Becker is the main criminal, I was completely seduced by him."
