Chapter 565 Evidence(1/2)
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door of the Robbery and Murder Division office.
"Dong dong."
"Come in."
After a while, a white woman in her thirties walked into the office. She was wearing a black professional skirt and carrying a briefcase. She was very tall. Although she was not pretty, she was well-dressed and capable in her manners.
"Hi, my name is Vicky Saber, and I'm Thomas Curley's attorney."
"Hello, Lawyer Saber, my name is Jenny, we just talked on the phone.
Please come with me."
Jenny took her into the lounge and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Vicki Saber put the briefcase on the table, "No, thank you, where is Thomas Colley?"
"Wait a moment." Jenny said and left the office.
After a while, the door to the lounge was pushed open.
Luke and Jenny walked into the lounge one after another, "Hello, Lawyer Saber, my name is Luke Lee, and I am the person in charge here."
"I've heard of your name, Captain Lee." Vicki Saber stood up and took the initiative to shake Luke's hand. "Did Thomas Colley invite me here?"
"No, I invited you here. To be precise, I wanted to talk to you."
"What to talk about?"
"About Thomas Colley."
Vicky Saber smiled, "You want to find out information about your client from a lawyer.
Are you doubting my expertise?
Look, don't get anything out of me that might be detrimental to my client."
"Thomas Colley has pleaded guilty to all charges. Is there any news more detrimental to him than this?"
"Then why did you come to me?"
"To help Thomas Curley."
Vicky Saber looked wary, "I don't understand what you mean?"
"We found some clues in favor of Thomas Colley during the investigation, but due to insufficient evidence, we cannot be sure yet, so we need your assistance."
"Since the situation is favorable to Thomas Kohli, why don't you talk to him personally?
I don’t know much about the case he committed, and I don’t know what I can do to help you.”
"Do you know Thomas Curley's wife?"
"Yes, Georgina Colley, who I first met, later became their family lawyer. Although the two of them divorced, this has not changed.
They all trust me."
"Did you know that Thomas Colley was testing drugs at Cullman Pharmaceuticals?"
"Yes, he once thought about suing the company, but it is almost impossible to win the case. Without exception, these large pharmaceutical companies have powerful legal teams.
I advised him to give up this idea."
"What do you think about Thomas Colley's kidnapping, robbery, and arson case?"
Vicky Saber shook her head, "I don't have any opinion.
If Thomas Colli needs it, I will help him fight for his rights, that's all."
Luke changed the topic, "Did Thomas Curley leave a will?"
Vicky Saber shrugged, "Sorry, this is his privacy and I have no right to tell you."
Luke took out a document and handed it to Vicki Saber, "I want to see Thomas Colley's will."
Vicki Saber took the document and checked it, and after a long time said, "Thomas Colley did leave a will, but I didn't bring it with him and kept it in the law firm."
"I'll go to the law firm with you."
Half an hour later, Luke rushed to Vicki Saber's law firm and obtained Thomas Colley's will from her.
Thomas Colley's will is mainly divided into three aspects. The first aspect is the mortgaged house. The house will be sold and the money after paying off the debt will belong to his daughter.
In addition, he had $50,000 in cash, which also belonged to his daughter.
Eventually, he rented a warehouse at Taber Storage Company, and the items in that warehouse were left to his ex-wife as relics.
Luke was not very interested in the first two wills, but the warehouse leased by the third will aroused Luke's interest.
Police had not previously known that Thomas Colley rented the warehouse.
Previously, according to the deputy team's speculation, in order to prevent the person behind the crime from breaking the contract, the person who blamed the crime would usually leave evidence identifying the other party, and this evidence is most likely to be in the hands of close relatives or trusted friends.
Luke met Thomas Colley's ex-wife and daughter. During the conversation with the two, Luke felt that the two of them did not know about Thomas Colley.
Luke speculated that there were two situations. In the first situation, Thomas Colley handed the evidence to other trustworthy people, but Luke did not find out the existence of this person.
The second possibility is that Thomas Colley just did not give the things to his ex-wife and daughter for the time being. Once something unexpected happens to him, these things will be sent to his wife and daughter, so Luke remembered the will.
Luke guessed that the evidence identifying the mastermind might be in the rented warehouse.
…
Taber Warehousing Company.
This is a chain of warehousing companies in California, headquartered in Los Angeles. The warehousing company is located in the southern suburbs of Los Angeles and covers a large area.
Luke led the team to Tabor Storage Company and produced a search warrant.
The person in charge of the warehousing company immediately took Luke and others to the warehouse rented by Thomas Colley.
The person in charge of the warehousing company was also unable to open the warehouse door. After confirming the location of the warehouse, Luke asked someone to use a door slammer to open the warehouse door.
The warehouse is not large, only about ten square meters.
There are not many things in the warehouse, there are only three boxes stacked in the innermost corner of the warehouse.
Luke began to look at the items in the three boxes. The box on the far left contained some old dolls and toys, all for little girls to play with.
In the middle box are some clothes, books and photos worn by the little girl. The girl in the photo looks very much like Thomas Colley's daughter.
The box on the far right contains some photos and miscellaneous items. The photos are of Thomas Colley's family of three. The miscellaneous items are also mostly gifts, which were probably given by him to his ex-wife.
After rummaging carefully, Luke found a mobile phone in a black gift box. Luke tried to open it, but the phone was out of power. He found a charger and then opened the iPhone.
Luke checked the phone carefully and found several valuable voices and videos inside.
He turned on one of the voices, and Thomas Colley's voice sounded, [My dear, please allow me to call you one last time.
I love you, always have, never changed.
When you hear this recording, it means that I have died, and it was an abnormal death.
I...did something, and I don't know if it was right or wrong.
By this time, you should already know that I took revenge on Kalman Pharmaceuticals.
Yes, I did it.
However, I did not tell the truth to the police. In fact, there was an instigator behind me, and his purpose was to short-sell Kalman Pharmaceuticals.
I will take the blame for him, and in exchange, he will help take care of you mother and daughter.
His name is Lennon Ochoa.
You may not remember this name, but his wife's brother is a director of Worster Investment Company.
You may have guessed it…
That's right, the reason why you were promoted to assistant to the president was because of Lennon Ochoa's help.
If I died normally, I would change my will and you wouldn't hear this recording.
If I didn't die normally, I would probably have been silenced.
My dear, you must be careful and take good care of your daughter...]
This recording proved the guesses of Luke and others, and their hard work today was worth it.
But the evidence alone is insufficient based on this recording.
Luke clicked on another video. Judging from the background, the place was very empty. It should be in a square. The surroundings were empty. A man appeared in the screen, wearing a decent suit and his blond hair was meticulously styled.
["Hello, Mr. Thomas Colley."
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Lennon Ochoa."
"What are your thoughts on our joining forces to retaliate against Kalman Pharmaceuticals?"
"I'm taking revenge on Kalman Pharmaceuticals for revenge, what about you?"
"Haha, I am more simple and benefit.
You take revenge, I make money, and we each get what we need."
