You have managed to get my attention!
Chapter 127
Seeing that the police were about to take Ning Zhe away, Mu Zili hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait! This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Ah Zhe. We don't even know who Berkowitz is. How could he be killed?" Suspect? There must be something wrong with this!"
"The case needs further investigation." The police officers in this police station have more or less been in contact with Mu Zili and Ning Zhe for a period of time, and they also have a good impression of this pair of oriental youths. Involved in homicide...
"Mr. Moore, if Mr. Warren really has nothing to do with this case, then we will give him justice." One of the police officers said: "It is only at the stage of collecting evidence. After questioning Mr. Warren, We'll bring him back."
"Then can you take me with you?" Mu Zili is worried about letting others investigate this case. To be honest, he now feels that this matter is a conspiracy from beginning to end. Since he promised to solve the case, someone has been plotting against him. With Ning Zhe!
The police officer looked a little embarrassed, "This..."
"Since you want to know more about this case, let's go together." Douglas, who was holding the document in his hand, walked over at some point, "There are just some things that you need to know about."
Mu Zili and Ning Zhe were brought into the interrogation room again, the difference is that this time they were interrogated together.
Douglas opened the document in his hand and placed it in front of Ning Zhe. He clicked on the photo posted in the middle, "Do you know this person?"
Ning Zhe frowned when he saw the figure in the photo.
"Berkowitz, 34 years old, is a freelance photographer." Douglas introduced the basic information of the victim, "He died in a rental house a week ago. Due to his withdrawn nature and no friends or relatives, no one found him. The fact that he died. It wasn't until we searched his residence that he died in the bathtub."
Mu Zili moved his chair and leaned over to look at the photo. In the photo, Berkowitz is an obese white man with gloomy eyes and tight lips. The photo shows that Berkowitz is not confident in himself, and he didn't see him when he took the photo. Aiming at the camera, the expression is quite stiff.
Douglas turned a page of the file and pointed to another photo, "This is a photo we took at the scene."
In the photo, Berkowitz is naked in the bathtub. After a week of soaking, his obese body has become more swollen, like soaked fat, which is very shocking.Berkowitz opened his gray eyes, and the expression of death was frozen on his face. He seemed to have seen some terrible scene, and opened his mouth wide as if he was about to scream at any time.
Mu Zili looked away slightly uncomfortable. Judging from the state of Berkowitz's death, he didn't know what kind of shock he had experienced before he died.
"What was the cause of his death?" Ning Zhe asked aloud.
Glass glanced at Ning Zhe, "Don't you know?"
Ning Zhe clicked his tongue and said mockingly, "Sheriff Douglas, you don't have to test me like that, I'm not interested in killing people."
"Oh?" Douglas raised his eyebrows, obviously, he didn't believe Ning Zhe's words.
"He was strangled to death?" Mu Zili wanted to clear Ning Zhe's suspicion, and forced himself to carefully observe the photos, "There are scars on his neck!"
"It wasn't strangled, it was strangled by a fishing line. The technique was quite professional." Douglas dug out several other detailed pictures, and the police officer who took the photo deliberately photographed Berkowitz's neck and hands, "In order to pull the fishing line, Berkowitz Wiz's hands were also full of bruises, it's a pity that his resistance was unsuccessful and he was thrown into the bathtub after his death."
"We found the criminal weapon. It was on the packaging box of the fishing line that Mr. Warren's fingerprints were found."
Douglas said that he pointed to the fishing line box that was photographed, and posted the result of fingerprint identification on the side.
"..." Mu Zili and Ning Zhe looked at each other, and both of them felt helpless.
"Captain Douglas, I'm sure this is definitely a bad case of frame-up." Mu Zili said, "Because it's so conspicuous, which professional murderer would intentionally leave his fingerprints on the murder weapon? It's ridiculous, isn't it?"
"I don't think I'm that stupid. I use this way to remind you to 'catch me'." Ning Zhe leaned back on the chair and said with a sneer, "This makes me almost doubt your ability to judge the case, Sheriff. .”
"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Douglas didn't take Ning Zhe's sarcasm to heart, "Of course the murder weapon is not that easy to find. Fortunately, Berkowitz's neighbors found it when they were throwing out the trash." A box of fishing line. The frugal neighbor lady picked up the box of fishing line in good condition and brought it home. When we investigated the scene, she remembered that what she picked up might be the victim's property, so she handed it over with fear .”
"The lady said that it happened to be the garbage collection day, and usually her neighbor, Mr. Berkowitz, would put the garbage at the door. After checking, the garbage collection day and the date of Berkowitz's death also coincided. Maybe it was The suspect dropped the murder weapon in the garbage, and as long as the garbage recycling truck drags the garbage away, this evidence will naturally be wiped out."
Mu Zili retorted: "Sheriff, all this is too coincidental! The neighbors would pick up the murder weapon that day and keep it, and then hand it over during your investigation. The suspect left the murder weapon with his fingerprints on it at the door. In the trash, without personally destroying the evidence, all this is just as arranged!"
"I understand your feelings." Douglas said unhurriedly: "Perhaps you think all this is too coincidental, but it turns out that the reason for solving many cases comes from the criminal's carelessness and some details that the witness inadvertently recalled." .”
Before Muzili could continue to refute, Douglas delivered another big news, "The most important thing is that Warren has the most direct criminal motive."
"Criminal motive?" Mu Zili looked puzzled.
"This is Berkowitz's room." Douglas found another photo. Muzili was a little tired of Douglas's step-by-step way of speaking, but he was still surprised when he saw the photo.
Because... the wall of Berkowitz's room was actually covered with his photos!That's right, it's a photo of Mu Zili himself!
Those photos were obviously taken secretly and pasted on the wall.In the photos, Mu Zili was in class at school, eating in a restaurant, and getting along with Ning Zhe.But as long as there are photos of Ning Zhe, someone will draw a big cross on Ning Zhe in the photo with a red pen. This kind of venting behavior shows that the photographer has a lot of resentment towards Ning Zhe.
"Berkowitz had a morbid obsession with More, collected all the videos of More, stalked More's personal photos, and was jealous of More's lover, namely Mr. Warren. Douglas said while carefully observing the expressions of the two people in front of him, "From the diary left behind by Berkowitz, he recorded his fascination with Moore. Judging from the handwriting, there is no possibility of forgery."
When Mu Zili thought of someone who secretly took so many photos of him and followed him quietly, he felt bad.But the more this happened, the more he felt that this matter was not simple.With Berkowitz's ability, can the other party really follow him without being discovered?Promise is no.
There are people around Muzili who are sent by the government to protect him. Even Jerry and Tom didn't find the guy following him. How well should that guy hide?Berkowitz's figure alone is quite eye-catching, and if he is doing follow-up shooting, he will definitely be spotted!What Berkowitz couldn't do meant that there was someone behind him who could control Berkowitz.
That guy not only kept an eye on Mu Zili secretly, but also arranged for this murder to be blamed on Ning Zhe. The real murderer is someone else!
"Mr. Warren, let me ask again, do you know Berkowitz?" Douglas stared closely at Ning Zhe, "I've said so much, do you still want to hide it?"
Ning Zhe's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a calm tone: "Sheriff, you are asking such a question. It seems that there is evidence to prove that I knew him."
Douglas didn't deny it, "I want you to confess."
Ning Zhe spread his hands, "Okay, I admit that I have seen this person."
"Huh?" Mu Zili looked at Ning Zhe in surprise, "Azhe, do you really know him?"
"I only remembered who he was when I saw the photo, but I've never heard of the name Berkowitz, and he used a pseudonym before." Ning Zhe looked a little annoyed, "Who would have thought that the photographer invited by the academy Is the division association a guy who deliberately approached us using a false name?"
"The photographer invited by the academy..." Mu Zili recalled his painful experience of giving a lecture at the academy and being edited into a chicken soup video, "Is he the photographer who shot the promotional video?"
"To be precise, it's one of the photographers." Ning Zhe was still in the mood to tease Mu Zili at this juncture, "Xiao Mu, given the importance the academy attaches to you, we won't just invite one photographer to take pictures of your heroism move."
"Oh, come on." Mu Zili held his forehead, "Don't remind me of those shameful videos."
"As long as he is involved in post-production video production, everyone should know him." Ning Zhe said: "Everyone calls him Paul. He has done a good job in video shooting."
"So when you later found out that he secretly photographed Moore and had different thoughts about Moore, you had the idea of killing him." Douglas concluded: "You concealed it very well. No one knows the dark side of your heart. In your eyes, no one but Moore is worth anything. Berkowitz provoked you after growing jealous of you, and you decided to teach him a lesson and make him disappear forever."
Ning Zhe applauded, "If I didn't know I was innocent, I would have believed the story you told."
"It seems that you don't want to plead guilty." Douglas said with a cold face.
"Why should I plead guilty to something I didn't do?" Ning Zhe asked back.
"I've seen a lot of suspects like you." Douglas was completely impatient with Ning Zhe. "The evidence we found is enough to arrest you. It won't do you any good to delay."
"Really?" Ning Zhe stood up suddenly, "It's a pity that I don't like to be coerced by others. If you have any questions, you can talk to my lawyer. Now I'm going to take my lover back. Your residence at the police station I'm not used to it."
"Lawyer?" Douglas was about to say that it was impossible for a lawyer to guarantee Ning Zhe out, but a message came from the policeman outside the door.
"Sheriff, the governor called you, and a lawyer wanted to see you. The lawyer said he was going to take his clients Mr. Moore and Mr. Warren away." Foley, who came to pass the news, rushed to Muzili and Ning Zhe blinked, "Sir, please come and answer the phone quickly, don't make Zhou wait for a long time."
Mu Zili turned his head to look at Ning Zhe, Ning Zhe held his hand and said, "Don't be dazed, let's go hear the news with Sheriff Douglas."
After answering the governor's call, Douglas almost dropped the phone in anger. Finally, he accepted the lawyer's request with a pale face. Before watching the two "criminal suspects" leave, Douglas said slowly: "I will let you You plead guilty and obey the law, and those who commit crimes should not escape the punishment of the law!"
"I return this sentence to you, Mr. Sheriff." Ning Zhe squinted at Douglas, "You should think about who is the real murderer."
The doubts in Douglas' eyes flashed, he didn't quite understand the meaning of Ning Zhe's words.
After leaving the police station, the lawyer consulted Ning Zhe and the others about the case process. The lawyer said that the case was quite difficult. If there was no clear evidence that Ning Zhe had a definite alibi or the witness had perjured himself, Ning Zhe would He will be listed as the first suspect, and he will suffer a lot in court.
"Thank you for your help. We will work hard to collect evidence to prove our innocence." Ning Zhe thanked the lawyer.
"You're welcome, if you have any questions, you can consult me at any time." The lawyer left them a contact information, and reminded them by the way, "Don't conflict with the police during this time, otherwise there will be trouble."
"..." Mu Zili knew that the related households must keep a low profile.
"When did you find someone to help?" Mu Zili asked hurriedly as soon as the others left, "Even the governor has been invited, won't it be too troublesome?"
"It's okay, we've helped Ackerman so much, and it's only right for him to contribute occasionally." Ning Zhe dragged Ackerman into the water without hesitation, "Besides, the mysterious enemy who targeted us is not good. It’s going to be hard to figure it out.”
Ning Zhe lowered his eyes and said, "He is a cunning opponent who hides deep."
"The case needs further investigation." The police officers in this police station have more or less been in contact with Mu Zili and Ning Zhe for a period of time, and they also have a good impression of this pair of oriental youths. Involved in homicide...
"Mr. Moore, if Mr. Warren really has nothing to do with this case, then we will give him justice." One of the police officers said: "It is only at the stage of collecting evidence. After questioning Mr. Warren, We'll bring him back."
