LA Detective

Luke asked, "How is your relationship as a couple?"

"We've been married for five years and have always been in love." Henryk Cartman looked a little awkward.

"Has she had any contact with anyone suspicious recently?"

Henryk Cartman was silent for a moment, licked his lips, and said with his head down, "I don't know. She's a professional woman with her own business circle."

Luke rubbed his thumb with his right index finger. From his experience, Henry Cartman seemed to be hiding something.

Or perhaps, their relationship as a couple is not as good as he said.

"What does your wife do?"

"She's an elementary school teacher."

"Has she encountered any problems at work recently?"

"Not as far as I know."

Luke probed, "Do you and your wife communicate much?"

"When we eat together, we always talk about work or life."

"Do you think it's possible that your wife committed suicide?"

"No, I don't think so, she is an independent woman and a very strong person.

There is no reason to sneak off to the park and commit suicide. "

Luke asked, "Do you have any suspicion about the person who killed your wife?"

Henry Cartman thought for a while and sighed, "I don't know, I can't think of anyone who would do such a cruel thing.

My wife is a good person, she is kind to her neighbors, she donates to charity every year, she is a good person. "

Luke stared at the other person and turned the pen in his hand habitually.

"Dong dong..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

"Squeak..."

The door opened and the deputy team stood at the door.

"Captain, please come out."

Luke stood up and left the lounge, closed the door and asked, "Deputy team, what's the matter?"

"Huh..." the deputy sighed softly, "I want to tell you that the interrogation of the man who claimed to be the arson suspect, Warlord Russell, is over.

I contacted the psychiatric evaluation agency..." The deputy team member pointed, "There is indeed something wrong with that guy's brain.

He had a severe case of pyromania and became excited by the sight of flames.

The bigger the flame, the greater the excitement.

According to experts' speculation, this guy was extremely excited after seeing the fire in Forest Park, imagining that the fire was ignited by himself, which would give him a strong sense of accomplishment. "

Luke pondered for a moment and asked, "In other words, he did not lie subjectively, but was deceived by his own fantasy."

The deputy team leader nodded, "That's right.

Therefore, there is no question of taking the blame. It is very likely that he does not know the real arsonist at all, and it is entirely this idiot who is making adultery on his own. "

"I know." Luke thought that this might be the reason why he didn't see Warlord Russell lying, because the other party didn't think he was lying.

What a pervert.

The deputy team pointed to the lounge, "Is the investigation going well?"

"is acceptable."

"I hope the news just now is helpful to you." The deputy team member finished his sentence and turned around to leave.

"Of course, this news is so timely." Luke opened the door and returned to the lounge again.

He sat across from Henry Cartman with a serious look on his face, "Mr. Cartman, my colleague just found some interesting clues."

"What clues are there related to my wife's death?"

"Yes." Luke touched his nose, "We checked your wife's call records and found that she contacted a lawyer, a professional divorce lawyer, on the day she was murdered."

"Oh, God..." Henry Cartman grabbed his hair with his hands, opened his mouth, but stopped talking, "I..."

Seeing Henry Cartman not speaking, Luke continued, "Perhaps, the relationship between you and your husband is not as good as imagined...

Has she ever mentioned divorce to you? "

Henryk Cartman said firmly, "No, never."

"Then why did she contact a divorce lawyer?" Luke joked, "You don't mean to tell me that she just wants to find someone to have afternoon tea, do you?"

"Uh..." Henryk Cartman said after a long silence, "Listen, we did have some problems, but I think they can be resolved, not to the point of divorce."

Luke shrugged, "Obviously your wife doesn't think so."

"I'm not sure what she thinks now, but I never thought about divorce."

Luke probed, "Which of you two earns more?"

"What do you mean?" Henry Cartman stood up suddenly and said dissatisfied, "I was the first to call the police after my wife disappeared. Are you doubting me?"

Jackson added, “In fact, your wife disappeared on the night of August 8th, and you didn’t call the police until the next morning.

If I were you, I would definitely call the police that night. "

"Oh my God! Do you think I am the murderer?" Henry Cartman showed an angry look and clenched his fists. "Do I need to find a lawyer now? Yes, I think it is more appropriate for a lawyer to talk to you."

Luke lowered his hand and said, "Mr. Cartman, please don't get excited. We are just taking notes in accordance with the regulations.

As long as you tell us the real situation, there will be no problem.

For example, what's wrong with you as a couple? "

Henry Cartman pinched his forehead, "My... wife has been acting strange recently. She is always mysterious, as if she is hiding something from me. One night, I heard her secretly making phone calls in the yard. , she has never been like this before, and our husband and wife never hide anything from each other.

That's when I became suspicious of her...

I stalked her once and saw her dating a guy. They behaved very intimately...

I know she cheated. "

Luke pressed, "Do you know that man?"

Henry Cartman shook his head, "The man was wearing a hat, and he was a little far away, so I didn't see it clearly."

Jackson frowned, "Since you suspected your wife of cheating, didn't you come forward to confront her?"

"I might do that before I'm 30.

But I am now 35 years old and have passed the age of impulsiveness.

I knew very well that even if I showed up at that time, it would not be of any help. Henry Cartman showed a helpless look, "I love Hedda. I want to know how far they have developed and whether there is any possibility of recovery."

Therefore, I plan to continue to follow up and decide whether to save this relationship.

But unfortunately I don't have the talent for tracking, so Hedda discovered me and she became very angry.

Even a little hysterical.

We had a big argument and I didn't hold back this time.

I asked loudly about the man's identity and her relationship with that man, but she refused to tell...

In turn, he accused me of stalking him secretly, saying that my behavior was very scary. "

Henryk Cartman rubbed his face with his hands, "I couldn't control it and hit her.

Later... we both calmed down.

She promised not to call the police, but if I give her some time, she will give me an explanation. "Henrique Cartman shrugged, "However, before I could wait for her so-called confession, she disappeared.

Because we were arguing at the time, I wasn't sure if she was avoiding me on purpose.

That's why I didn't report him missing immediately.

That's the way it is. "

Luke asked, "Why are you hiding this?"

Henry Cartman showed a wry smile, "I have watched a lot of movies and TV shows, and I know that once I tell you the truth.

You will definitely regard me as a key suspect.

I don't want to be treated like that. "

Jackson said, "By doing this, the police will miss a lot of valuable information, and may even allow the real murderer of your wife to go free."

Henry Cartman glared at Jackson, "If she cared about me, she wouldn't fool around with other men without telling me.

If she doesn't care about me, why should I care about her.

I am the real victim in this matter. Have you ever thought about how I feel? "

Luke asked, "Where were you when the fire broke out last night?"

"I'm at home."

"Can anyone prove it?"

"I live alone now." Henry Cartman sneered, looking at Luke and Jackson, "As expected, you are still doubting me."

Luke denied, "No, I am not doubting you, but I want to prove your innocence.

And this requires your own cooperation.

look at me.

I ask again.

Do you have any suspicions about your wife's death? "

"Yes, he is the man who fooled around with my wife." Henry Cartman looked a little complicated and said slowly, "Although my wife is behind my back... but based on my understanding of her, she shouldn't Divorce me.

And I can't accept her continuing to hang out with other men.

Therefore, there is a high probability that she will separate from that man.

The man would probably kill her in anger.

I think you should look up that man. "

"Do you know the identity of that man?"

"I don't know. Ever since Hedda discovered that I was following her, she has become very careful."

"What do you know about that man?"

"Mirko.

I heard Hedda call her that on the phone. "

"Anything else?"

"He is of average height and has a slim build. That's all I know."

Luke wrote in his notebook, "Mr. Cartman, we will find your wife's murderer as soon as possible.

At the same time, they may also ask about your wife's situation, so you'd better not leave Los Angeles for the time being. "

Henry Cartman stood up, glanced at Luke and Jackson, and left the lounge expressionlessly.

Luke instructed Jackson on the side, "Investigate Hedda Cartman's communication records and find this guy named Mirko."

Jackson was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, "So there is no divorce lawyer? You were deceiving him just now."

Luke shrugged, "Who knows, maybe there really is a lawyer in the communication records, or maybe you didn't back it up carefully enough.

Be more serious this time. "
