Chapter 952 Arrest (Ⅰ)

In the ensuing interrogation, Elder Gumoduo, the swamp man, claimed that he was "not interested in killing people and robbing wealth". Man cooperates, and this problem is solved.

Kaufman and the boggard, both of them got what they needed, and they hit it off.

In this way, Elder Gumoduo led a team to the outskirts of Hot Spring Town two months ago to preside over adult trials for the noble children of the clan.

David Kaufman himself did not appear in person, but he arranged for his fiancée Mrs. Josephine to be in charge of connecting with Elder Gumoduo.

Not only did the glamorous lady not mind her fiancé's secret deal with the boggard, she seemed happy to take part in the bloody game.

Including Billy Donald and Harrell Lancashire, the four "trial sacrifices" before and after were all rich sons selected by her from among the regular guests of the hotel.

Mrs. Josephine seduced those self-proclaimed men in private, complaining that she didn't love David Kaufman, but owed him a lot of money and had to use her body to pay the debt.

When those obsessed men believed her confession, Mrs. Josephine persuaded them to take her to elope, so as to avoid marrying her creditor David Kaufman.

Elder Gumoduo didn't like this woman who was full of lies, but he had to admit that Mrs. Josephine's acting skills were very clever, and she was always able to lure the prey into taking the bait and provide him with suitable trial sacrifices.

The close cooperation between the two parties was maintained in this way until last night, when Joan and Pinkerton came out halfway and destroyed the boggard man's adult trial.

Before they showed up, Mrs. Josephine had already driven back to the hot spring town.

...

This is the end of Pinkerton and Grayson's interrogation of Elder Gumoduo.

Joan checked the testimony he recorded and confirmed that there were no omissions, so he handed the record book to Pinkerton and asked him softly:

"Mr. Pinkerton, what are your plans next?"

Pinkerton turned around, discussed with Sergeant Grayson in a low voice, and then turned to Joan and said:

"Greyson and I agree that now that the facts of the case are out and the evidence is solid, it's time to arrest Kaufman and Josephine."

"Will this be too hasty?" Joan couldn't help but sing a different tune. "I think there are still many doubts about the case, and the current evidence alone is not enough to make a conclusion."

"Even if it's not enough to convict Kaufman and Josephine, at least it's enough to list them as important suspects and ask them to cooperate with the police investigation." Sheriff Gleason said coldly.

Joan opened his mouth, but couldn't refute.

In fact, as Mr. Sheriff said, the testimony of Elder Gumoduo alone is enough to list David Kaufman and Mrs. Josephine as suspects.

Sergeant Grayson summoned them to cooperate with the investigation. In order to prevent the suspects from escaping, taking necessary custody measures against them is also a legal means of handling the case. Joan has no reason to object.

At this point, Joan realized that he could no longer influence the direction of the case investigation with his own strength, so he had to take out a piece of copper wire and send a 3-ring "short message technique" to Professor Moriarty.

In this magical letter, Joan briefly described how he accompanied Mr. Pinkerton to handle the case from yesterday afternoon to this morning, the latest progress of the case, and the remaining doubts.

Joan himself believes that Mr. Kaufman and Mrs. Josephine are indeed very suspicious, but the existing evidence seems to be insufficient.

The unilateral testimony of Elder Gumoduo may not be completely true. What attitudes will Mr. Kaufman and Mrs. Josephine take when facing the murder charges?

Are you going to confess your guilt, go to trial, or plan to defend yourself?

Joan felt that at least they should be given a chance to defend themselves.

However, he is not a police officer after all, and he is soft-spoken, so he still has to ask his mentor to decide what to do next.

On May 29, at nine o'clock in the morning.

The security team in Hot Springs raided Kaufman's mansion and asked David Kaufman and Mrs. Josephine to go to the Hot Springs Police Station to assist in the investigation in the name of suspected serial murders.

The arrest operation was led by Sergeant Grayson and Mr. Pinkerton. Joan did not accompany him, and asked to stay at the police station to assist the police in guarding Gumoduo and Gudella's uncle and nephew.

Qiao An did not participate in the arrest operation, mainly because he felt a little sorry.

These days in Hot Spring Town, Mrs. Josephine has been taking extra care of him. If she appeared on such an embarrassing occasion, she would be suspected of revenge.

Although he did not personally participate in the arrest operation, his curiosity prompted Joan to perform the "mosquito finger technique" again, transforming a part of his tail finger into a "blood mosquito", and followed Pinkerton to the mansion of the Kaufman family.

David Kaufman and Mrs. Josephine were having breakfast when Sheriff Grayson led his men into the Kaufman mansion.

Facing the police who broke into the door, the unmarried couple at the dining table reacted completely differently.

After a brief astonishment, David Kaufman immediately jumped up angrily, scolding Sergeant Gleason and his party for trespassing on the house, like a group of robbers, a group of beasts!

And when Sergeant Grayson confessed that he was involved in the murder and asked him to follow him back to the police station for interrogation, Mr. Millionaire was even more furious. He completely denied all the charges against him, thinking that Gregson's move was revenge. , threatening to report his atrocities to the town council.

In Joan's view, David Kaufman's words and deeds are basically in line with the normal reaction of a rich man when he is charged by the police.

Of course, these violent reactions do not prove his innocence, nor can they serve as evidence of his guilt.

Compared with David Kaufman, the reaction of his fiancée, Mrs. Josephine, during the entire arrest process is somewhat extraordinary.

When the police broke into the door, she subconsciously pulled up the neckline of her pajamas, showing the defensive instinct of women in this situation, and then her expression became very strange, looking both funny and confused.

When her fiancé was furious, Mrs. Josephine did not echo, turned to Mr. Detective who was watching the play with a pipe in his mouth, and asked calmly, "Ted, tell me, is this a misunderstanding?"

"I'm afraid not, ma'am. You and Mr. Kaufman had better go with Sergeant Grayson. Such a quarrel will only attract more people to watch and discuss, and it will damage your reputation." Pinkerton replied with a half-smile.

"Ted, don't you think it's too much for David to ask you to investigate, but you're sending your employer to jail?"

Madame Josephine looked slightly cold.
