Marico Lugo was shocked and quickly denied, "No, I didn't kill him.

He is my good friend and I will never hurt him."

Luke asked, "If you didn't kill the person, why did you lie?"

Marico Lugo swallowed and hesitated slightly, "I..."

"Your lies and hesitations make it difficult for people not to doubt you.

Listen, the reason why we came to you is because we found out that you are related to this case.

Stop trying to escape and tell me, what exactly happened that night?"

"Woof woof..."

There was another barking in the house, and Luke looked up and found Marico Lugo's mother standing by the window, looking in.

Jackson said, "Your mother still cares about you, don't let her down."

Marico Lugo turned to look at his mother and sighed, "I tell you...

Last night, we didn't go to Nasim's Bar.

Will Stout asked me to drive with him to meet someone."

"Where to go?"

"Very few people go there at the north gate of Villaut Park, and there is no surveillance."

"Who did you meet?"

"I don't know, I didn't get out of the car at all, I just acted as his driver."

"Why would Will Stott want to see that man?"

"He said the man owed him money and he came to ask for money.

I know this sounds ridiculous, and I don't believe it, but after meeting with that person, he did come back with a box and gave me $10,000.

Although I didn’t see it, I guess there was money in that box.”

"How much money is there?"

"I don't know, and he wouldn't tell me if I asked.

I am very satisfied if I can get ten thousand dollars."

"Are you sure it was last night?" Luke questioned.

Because according to Will Stout's girlfriend, Will Stout transferred $50,000 to her yesterday afternoon, and the time was wrong.

Marico Lugo pursed his lips and said, "Yes, but last night was the second time, and I went there the night before."

"Did you also go to get money the night before yesterday?"

"Yes, it's the same black suitcase. He gave me five thousand dollars."

"Did he meet the same person?"

"I don't know, he doesn't let me get too close or ask.

I just glanced at him from a distance and it seemed to be the same man."

“Will Stout asked the same person for money two days in a row?

Don’t you think it’s suspicious?”

"I asked, but he refused to tell.

He was my friend and he gave me fifteen thousand dollars. It was a very simple thing. I had no reason not to help him.

Moreover, I was just driving and didn't do anything illegal."

"It's not that simple. You helped him drive, looked out for the wind, and collected his money. You are equivalent to being his accomplice.

If he commits a crime, you can't escape."

"I have no idea what he was doing? He was really just driving, and he never got out of the car from beginning to end."

Luke shook his head, "You still don't realize the seriousness of the problem."

"Asking for money from the same person two nights in a row is a sign of insatiable greed, and the second time there will be more, and that's why Will Stott was killed.

As his accomplice, you may also be silenced." Luke touched his chin, "You are very lucky to be alive now."

Marico Lugo looked panicked, "You said... that person will kill me too?"

"Think carefully, was there anything unusual last night?"

Marico Lugo was silent for a while and said, "At around two o'clock in the morning, Mark suddenly screamed and woke me up. I even scolded him."

"That dog?"

"Yes."

"In the past, did Mark bark in the middle of the night?"

"No, Mark was well trained by my mother. He only behaves like this when strangers come to my house."

"Take care of it from now on. It saved you and your mother."

Marico Lugo broke into a cold sweat, "Are you telling the truth?"

"The person who killed Will Stott was calm and professional. He had no reason not to kill you.

Unless the operation is disrupted and has to be terminated."

"Oh my god, will he come to kill me again?"

"It's possible."

"Then what should I do?"

"Tell me everything about Will Stout and that person. As long as we catch the murderer of Will Stott, you will naturally be safe."

"This is too scary!" Marico Lugo gasped, and his body collapsed on the ground, as if he had collapsed. "I will definitely cooperate with you and tell you everything I know."

Luke nodded, stared at Marico Lugo and asked, "Where is Henry Lawley?"

"What Henry Lawley?"

"California gubernatorial candidate, he went to Nasim's Bar in the early morning of December 11, and Will Stott even drank at the same table with him.

After that, Henry Lawley disappeared."

"I remembered that I was in the bar early that morning, and Will met a strange guy. He was wearing a white shirt and trousers in the bar, and he looked very different.

Will took the wine glass and went to his table to chat for a while. I was also curious about why Will knew such a person.

Will said he was an old friend, so I didn't ask any more questions."

"Is Will Stout connected to the disappearance of Henry Lawley?"

"It shouldn't matter. We left the bar together. He drank too much, so I sent him home."

"Did you see Henry Lawley again after you left the bar?"

"No, I swear to God."

Luke stared at the other person, seeing no obvious signs of lying.

…

Robbery and Murder Division Office.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

The team members who went out to investigate gradually returned, and Luke called everyone for a meeting.

Luke glanced at everyone, and his eyes fell on the deputy team, "Have the deputy team, the technical team and the forensic team made any new discoveries?"

The deputy said, "According to the technical team's investigation, Will Stott's house should be the scene of the first crime.

There are no signs of the door being broken open, so the murderer probably entered the room through the window."

The deputy team member glanced down at the information and continued, "The forensic doctor also conducted a preliminary identification.

The deceased was shot with a 9mm bullet. One shot hit the left chest and the other hit the head. Both were fatal injuries. The technique was very professional.

Because the body was frozen, it was difficult to determine the exact time of death.

In addition, I sent police officers to visit the surrounding area, and none of the neighbors heard the gunfire, so I guessed that the murderer might have used a silencer.

All this shows that the murderer is likely to be a professional killer with professional military training."

Luke asked, "Have you found any clues related to the kidnapping case at Will Stout's house?"

"No."

Jackson said, "Is it possible that we are looking in the wrong direction and that Will Stott has nothing to do with the disappearance or kidnapping of Henry Lawley?"

Xiao Hei retorted, "If it didn't matter, why would he die?

Moreover, where did his unexpected fortune come from?"
