Chapter 559 Traces(1/2)
Dolit Community.
Xiao Hei swaggered into the yard of Thomas Colley's house and shouted loudly, "Mr. Colley, our operation is over.
You can safely go back to the yard to drink coffee.
By the way, your structural diagram of the house sucks."
Thomas Colley opened the door, looked at Xiao Hei and then at the police car, waved, with a smile on his face, but did not answer.
"lapd!"
"Police, don't move!"
At this moment, several police officers rushed out from both sides of the door and immediately pushed Thomas Colley to the ground.
Later, Raymond led people into the house to search.
Luke also walked into the yard of Thomas Colley's house, glanced at Thomas Colley who was being searched, and then looked in the direction of the house.
He suspected that another suspect, Walda Beck, was also hiding inside.
"Safety!"
"No suspicious persons were found."
Soon, Raymond led people to search Thomas Colley's home, but found no trace of another suspect, Walda Baker.
Luke was somewhat disappointed. He walked up to Thomas Colley and asked, "What's your name?"
"Thomas Curley, I told you.
What's wrong with you? Why do you want to arrest me?"
"You are suspected of being involved in the kidnapping of Milia Cooney."
"You are slandering, I am not."
"Where is Walda Beck?"
"I don't know Walda Baker at all, this is a complete frame-up." Thomas Colley showed an angry look, "Let me guess, you didn't catch the suspect, so you wanted to arrest me as a scapegoat.
Come on, I helped you just now, you can't do this to me."
"Stop making excuses. The kidnapped hostage Milia Cooney has recognized you."
Thomas Colley smiled, "Don't try to scare me.
I won’t admit anything I haven’t done.”
"I'm not scaring you. If she doesn't recognize you, do you think we will arrest you directly?"
The smile on Thomas Colley's face froze a little, "OK, then tell me, how did she recognize me?"
"You admitted your involvement in the kidnapping of Milia Cooney."
"No, I don't admit it. I'm just curious. If the hostage you mentioned really saw the kidnapper's face, why didn't the kidnapper kill her?"
"She did not see your face, but she could recognize your voice."
"I don't remember talking to anyone named Milia Cooney."
"Do you want me to ask her to come over and identify her again?"
Thomas Colley shook his head, "No need.
I've never done it at all, so why do I look like a criminal?
Besides, people's voices are all the same, so the recognition is not very high. Maybe I just have a similar voice to her kidnapper.
I've never heard of someone being convicted just by their voice.
What do you think? sir."
At this moment, Raymond walked over and said softly, "Captain, we searched Thomas Colley's house, but found no trace of Walda Baker, nor any items suspected of committing crimes.
However, I found a prepaid mobile phone in the drawer of Thomas Colley's house. There was no call record, but there was only one mobile phone number recorded in the address book."
Luke took the phone and opened the address book. He felt that the number seemed familiar and pressed the dial button.
After a while, the phone was connected, and a nervous voice sounded on the phone, "Hello, I'm Lydia Cooney."
Yes, this mobile phone number is exactly the prepaid mobile phone that the kidnapper Walda Beck left for the mother of the kidnapped hostage.
"I'm Luke from the Robbery and Murder Division.
Ms. Lydia Cooney, you don’t have to worry, your daughter has been successfully rescued.”
"Thank you, Miss Jenny has informed me, and I'm on my way there."
"Okay, I'll hang up then."
"Thank you again, Captain Li."
Luke hung up the phone and asked Thomas Colley, "How do you explain this?"
Thomas Colley snorted, "Is it illegal to have a prepaid cell phone? If a cell phone alone can be used to convict someone, then there are too many guilty people in the world."
"You're right, it's not illegal to own a prepaid phone.
But the only number recorded in this mobile phone was the mobile phone left by the kidnappers to the hostage's family.
And this mobile phone is in your drawer at home, how do you explain it?"
Thomas Colley looked a little ugly, lowered his head and said nothing.
Luke continued to advise, "Come on, don't take chances anymore.
With the identification of the hostages and the kidnapper's mobile phone found in your home, it is enough to open an investigation against you.
Do you think when it comes to court, will the jury believe your words or the hostages’ words?”
Thomas Colley slowly raised his head, showing an angry look, "Fuck!
It must have been the cell phone number entered by that bastard Walda Baker, what an idiot." A look of remorse appeared on Thomas Colley's face, "This was a mistake, I should have thrown away the phone long ago, it would have been safe.
"
Luke doesn't think so. Some things will leave traces as long as they are done.
A person would be careless when cooking in the kitchen, let alone a series of major criminal cases. It is only a matter of time before Thomas Colley is convicted.
"You admitted your involvement in the kidnapping of Milia Cooney?"
Thomas Colley took a deep breath and said, "I was just an accessory, helping to beat the others. Walda Baker was the principal culprit. I was completely bewitched by him."
"Did you kill Rohel Horn?"
Thomas Colley shook his head, "I don't know who Rohel Horn is."
Luke faintly saw signs of lying on his face.
"Did you commit the arson attack together?"
"Walda Baker did it. I just helped him look after Miriam Cooney, that's all."
Luke saw the traces of lying on his face again.
It was obvious that this guy was going to take the easy way out and put the blame on Walder Baker.
"Where is Walda Beck?"
"I have no idea."
lie.
Luke shook his finger, "I don't like people who lie, tell me where Walda Baker is.
If you help us catch Walda Baker, I can turn you into a tainted witness."
Thomas Colley thought for a while, "That guy ran away, and he asked me to stay here to take care of Miria Cooney.
That bastard killed me."
"Where did he go?"
"I have no idea."
"How did he escape?"
"I have no idea."
Luke stared at the other person and realized that he had been lying. Obviously, he should know the whereabouts of Walda Baker.
Luke has promised to help him turn into a tainted witness, why is he unwilling to tell?
"What is your relationship with Walda Beck?"
"I'm just an ordinary bad friend. I met him in a casino, and we had a few drinks together in a bar. I was short of money recently, and then he said he would introduce me to a job.
I didn't want to do it at first, but he threatened me.
He said that I already knew about this and if he didn’t do anything, he would kill me.”
"Are you close to Walder Baker?"
