Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

Suburbs of Los Angeles.

This place is located on the west coast of Los Angeles, with beautiful scenery and many vacation houses built halfway up the hill.

A black SUV parked outside the modern-style vacation house, mainly constructed of glass.

The window of the front passenger seat was opened, and Luke looked outside at the luxurious vacation house, and said somewhat doubtfully, "Are you sure Buddy Corruck is here?"

Jackson, who was driving, replied, "That's right. Buddy Corruck and his wife own two properties. One is the house where the incident occurred, and the other is this vacation house. The address is right here."

Little Black poked his head out from the back seat and said with some envy, "The environment here is really beautiful, and the vacation house is great. I didn't expect this couple to be hidden millionaires."

The three of them got out of the car and walked to the outside of the vacation house yard.

Luke looked around and didn't find anything unusual.

Jackson pressed the doorbell, "Ding dong."

After a while, the video doorbell screen opened, and the image of Buddy Corruck appeared on the screen. Seeing Jackson's face, he hesitated for a moment before reacting, "Officer Jackson, why are you here? I just went to the police station this morning."

"Mr. Buddy Corruck, there have been new developments in your wife's case, and we need to talk to you."

After a moment, the gate opened, and Luke and the three walked into the yard.

Various flowers and plants were planted in the yard. It wasn't very neat and looked like it hadn't been cared for in some time.

The door in the middle of the yard opened, and Buddy Corruck stood at the door, looking at Luke and the others, his eyebrows frowning, "Sir, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

Luke complimented, "The environment here is beautiful, and the vacation house is very nice."

"Thank you, please come in."

Buddy Corruck stepped aside, gesturing for Luke and the others to enter.

The room used a lot of glass building materials with excellent translucency. The spacious living room was very bright, and sitting in the living room offered a view of the outside scenery.

Little Black plopped down on the sofa, "I like the style of this house, the view is fantastic."

"Thank you.

The house in the city became a crime scene and can't be lived in currently, so I had to move here." Buddy Corruck sighed, "Sorry, it's been a while since someone lived here, so it's a bit messy."

Jackson jested, "No no, this place is much cleaner than my house."

Buddy Corruck sat on the sofa, looking at Luke and the others, "Tell me about my wife's case."

Luke said, "This afternoon, we found some new clues and wanted to verify some things with you."

Buddy Corruck asked, "What clues?"

"Before we talk about that, I want to ask you one question: where were you at 5:45 the day before yesterday?"

Buddy Corruck frowned slightly and after a moment of silence replied, "I was on a business trip in Las Vegas."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Luke stared and asked, "Do you have a VISA credit card ending in 7569?"

"Uh, I think so."

"If you are unsure, check your credit card; I need an accurate answer, yes or no."

Buddy Corruck crossed his arms on the sofa, "Yes, is there a problem with that?"

"The day before yesterday, at 5:45 PM, this credit card was used at a gas station near Los Angeles. How do you explain that?"

"Uh..." Buddy Corruck hesitated for a while, "I'm not really sure. It's been a long time since I used that credit card, and I can't even remember where I put it.

It might even be lost."

"Even if it was lost, the person who found it couldn't use it without the password."

"My password is very simple, it's just six zeroes, maybe someone guessed it."

"Mr. Buddy Corruck, I hope you think carefully before answering. Our conversation is being recorded. If you're lying, there will be legal consequences."

Buddy Corruck pursed his lips and sighed, looking a little anxious and uneasy.

Luke continued, "Listen, while we're talking, my colleague is already on the way to the gas station to verify the situation.

Even if you don't tell the truth, the owner of the gas station won't keep your secret.

Besides, are you sure you can avoid the gas station's surveillance?

If you can't, then you'd better tell the truth."

Buddy Corruck finally couldn't hold back, showing a remorseful expression, "God, I'm so unlucky, I'm the world's number one big fool, no one is dumber than me."

Little Black pointed his right index finger at the other party, "You admit your alibi is fake and lied to cover up the fact of murder."

Buddy Corruck retorted, "I didn't kill anyone.

The deaths of Blanchie and Gallian Coffey have nothing to do with me.

I admit I lied and returned to Los Angeles ahead of time, but that's all."

Luke said, "Don't you find your words contradictory?

If Gallian Coffey and Blanchie Corruck's deaths have nothing to do with you, why did you lie?"

Buddy Corruck's expression was a bit complicated and he said helplessly, "Some things are like this, once you make a wrong step, you'll keep making mistakes, and in the end, that mistake will cause you to take a big fall.

I knew about the relationship between them, and it's not a glorious thing, so I couldn't tell the truth.

I swear, I didn't intend to deceive you."

Luke pressed on, "Based on your knowledge, what was their relationship? Come clean."

Buddy Corruck rubbed his cheeks with his hand and sighed, "I know about the affair between my wife and Gallian Coffey."

"When did you find out?"

"It's been a while."

"Think carefully, how long exactly."
