Although the case seemed confusing, Richard did not find a direct reason for Roosevelt to restart the investigation. Roosevelt could not restart the investigation just because of simple suspicion, especially for such a major case.

Then asking the convicted murderer at the time was undoubtedly the best choice, but Richard could not.

Once Richard goes to the prison to interrogate the serial murderer, the murderer will definitely know that the police are restarting the investigation. The murderer can find a lawyer and ask the prosecutor's office to retry the case without even paying, which will cause uproar in the city.

Richard must investigate quietly.

Richard closed the file, and he planned to go to the deceased Nancy's mother to inquire first to see what made the deceased's mother persuade Roosevelt to restart the investigation.

Wearing a shirt, tie, suit, and three-piece police detective suit, Richard tilted his head slightly to reveal his sharp jawline. Looking at himself in the mirror, Richard felt extremely handsome.

Oh, man.

Richard took off his collar, picked up the keys and turned to leave.

"Dong dong dong" knocked on the door.

"yd."

Beverly opened the door and looked at the visitor suspiciously.

"Beverly Smith, I'm Detective Long." Richard said, showing his police badge.

"Please come in."

Beverly introduced Richard into the living room, and the two sat on the sofa. Richard explained his purpose.

It turned out that Beverly had always been suspicious of the case, but had no evidence. Just a month ago, thanks to Beverly's unremitting efforts, Anderson, an important witness in the case, withdrew his testimony, and Beverly also applied for a re-investigation of the case.

"Madam, do you know where I can find this Anderson?"

"cemetery."

"lady"

"Anderson passed away two weeks ago, otherwise why do you think he would have a conscience to retract his testimony."

Richard felt a little annoyed, why didn't Roosevelt explain this to him at that time? This was not a joke.

After continuing to inquire, Richard did not get any useful clues. Everything Beverly said was recorded in the file, and Richard stood up to leave.

Beverly sends Richard out the door.

"Detective Long, please, please give me and my daughter the truth and catch that beast."

Looking into Beverly's eyes, Richard suddenly understood Roosevelt's intention.

Richard sighed softly.

"I try my best."

Sitting in the car, Richard continued to look through the files, and it seemed that he was about to question the witnesses who testified in court at the time.

Justin Diaz, electrician. was the last person to see the deceased.

Richard started the car.

Richard found Diaz's workplace. At this time, Diaz was about to go out to repair the circuit, and Richard hurried forward. After showing his police badge and introducing himself, Richard began asking about Nancy's case.

Because Diaz's work was urgent, the two of them walked outside and talked.

"It's been five years since that serial murder case. It's really scary. I still find it unbelievable why someone can be so cruel."

"You met Nancy on the day she died, right?"

"Yes, when I left the building, Nancy came back, and I reminded her to close the windows at night. During that time, there were several home invasions and robberies in our area."

"Has the criminal been caught?"

"I heard he was caught, but who knows. All I know is that there were no more break-ins."

By this time, the two had walked outside the house, and Diaz put the tools in the car.

Richard blocked the door of the car, looked into Diaz's eyes and said, "Five years have passed and you can still remember things so clearly. It seems you have a good memory."

Diaz sighed as he watched Richard's actions.

"That incident had a great impact on me. I have never forgotten what happened that day. If I could have left a little later, maybe Nancy would be fine.
