Profiler 3: Crime Ends

"It's not clear ma'am."

Blanco said: "We are just making routine inquiries,? Investigating all the people who have been to the hospital. In addition, we heard from the nurse that there is also an old couple who came to visit your husband specially. Who are they?"

Mrs. Gonzales said: "They are my husband's brother and sister-in-law,? They are Collins' parents."

It's a tight chase.Blanco thought about it: "Ma'am, I would like to ask, what is the relationship between your husband and another Mr. Gonzalez? Is it possible for him to inherit part of the inheritance? His brother?"

Mrs. Gonzalez's expression changed, "Officer, why did you say that?"

"Just routinely asking Ma'am."

Blanco said, "Have you noticed that your nephew brought an umbrella when he came to visit Mr. Gonzalez?"

"Umbrella?"

Mrs. Gonzalez looked at Blanco nervously and said, "You mean, the umbrella that was thrown in my son's room? It was brought by Collins? The person who killed my son was my nephew? Lord , what did I do wrong?!"

Mrs. Gonzalez began to cry again, and Blanco said helplessly, "Ma'am,? Please calm down, we just need to investigate all the people present."

But Mrs. Gonzalez kept crying, and Blanco had to call a policewoman to persuade her.

Blanco called Ryan and said, "Professor Lu said yesterday that relatives and friends cannot be ruled out. It seems that we are going to meet this Collins."

Collins is 26 years old this year,? Looks very young, with some freckles on his cheeks.

He was called to the police station, looking tense, holding the water bottle he had brought with him in his left hand.

Blanco looked at the scar on his right hand, "Collins, are you Mr. Gonzalez's nephew? After his car accident? Do you visit him often?"

Collins took a sip of water and tried to remain calm and said, "My father and uncle have a very good relationship. When I was young, my uncle loved me very much. I must have visited him two or three times."

Blanco asked, "Did you go to the hospital the day before yesterday? Did you leave anything behind?"

Collins said: "I went to visit my uncle in the hospital the day before yesterday, but I'm always forgetful, and I don't remember if I left anything behind."

Can't remember what happened the day before yesterday?Blanco frowned and glanced at him, "For example, an umbrella?"

Collins was taken aback, "What umbrella are you talking about, officer?"

"Nothing." Blanco said, "Then what were you doing from 12:00 noon to 7:00 pm yesterday? Where? Can anyone prove it?"

"Are you suspicious of me, officer?"

Collins hesitated and said: "I, I went out for a meal at noon yesterday. I went back to work before 2:00 p.m., and I didn't get off work until 6:00. You can ask my colleagues, and they can all prove it for me."

"Okay, Mr. Collins, thank you for your cooperation."

Blanc got up and was about to ask the police to send Collins out when Ryan came in and said, "Brank, we found something! We saw him on the surveillance camera!"

"What monitoring?"

Blanco looked at Collins and said, "Has he been to the neighborhood where the crime happened yesterday?"

"Yes Sheriff!"

Ryan glanced at Collins excitedly and said, "Sir, don't you want to explain why you appeared in the neighborhood where the crime happened yesterday?!"

"It looks like you can't leave yet."

Blanc reached out to stop Collins and said, "When did you go to Gonzalez's house yesterday? Mr. Collins, let me remind you that we have surveillance. Please answer truthfully this time."

Collins sat back on the chair dejectedly and said: "I came out at about 12 o'clock yesterday, and arrived at my uncle's house less than one o'clock. Our company has distributed a lot of grape products, and my company is very close to here, so I Wanted to send some to my uncle's house. But I didn't see Tres, I rang the bell and knocked on the door, and no one opened the door for me, so I went back."

"What about the things you brought?"

Blanco said: "You took a few boxes of grapes to Tres's house, and then brought them back to the company?!"

"Mr. Inspector, it's not grapes."

Collins said: "It's raisins and jam. I wanted to leave it in their mailbox, but I didn't find the mailbox key. I called my aunt, but she didn't answer, so I had to go back with my things."

Blank and Ryan looked at each other, and felt that Collins was very problematic. He lied first, and then spoke vaguely.

Blanc raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Collins, it seems that I can only trouble you to stay here for 48 hours."

"No Mr. Police Officer!"

Collins shouted excitedly: "I really just want to send something to my uncle's house, you can't doubt me like this!"

Ryan looked at him and said, "Then why didn't you just say it straight? Why did you hide that you went to the victim's house yesterday?!"

Collins tapped his forehead helplessly, "I read the news yesterday and vaguely guessed that something happened to Tres, so I called my aunt, and she burst into tears on the phone. I didn't expect you to contact me today, I I'm afraid of causing trouble, so of course I don't want to mention what happened yesterday!"

Blanc frowned and said: "Mr. Collins, you are now suspected of perjury. I hope you will think clearly about how to cooperate with us in the future. Okay, let me ask again, did you leave an umbrella at the scene? "

"No, I really didn't go in!"

Collins yelled aggrievedly: "I don't have the keys to their house at all!"

Ryan thought for a while, took out a picture of the umbrella from the evidence bag, put it in front of Collins and said, "Take a look, is this your umbrella?"

Collins picked it up and looked at it, his face changed, "This... this is my umbrella, why is it here with you?!"

"He was not with us, he was found at the scene of the crime."

Blanc stood up and said, "Mr. Collins, it seems that you really can't leave the police station today."

Blanco ignored Collins who was yelling and told Ryan to go through the formalities and detain him for 48 hours to assist in the investigation.

Then, Blanco went to the monitoring room, and the video he got back from the community property showed that Collins was indeed the community where Mr. Gonzalez arrived before 1:00.Collins held two large bags in his hand, then stayed for 10 minutes before going out again.Surveillance showed that it was consistent with what he said.

Blanco looked at Ryan and said, "But at this time, if it is true as what Collins said, he knocked on the door but no one responded, does that mean something happened to Tres at that time?"

Ryan said: "Not necessarily, maybe Tres just went out for lunch at that time."

Blanco said: "But the monitoring of the property in the community did not see Tres going out."

Ryan said: "The monitoring of this community is not complete, and there are too many dead spots. Maybe Tres is more familiar with it, so let's just go out by some small road."

"Also a possibility."

Blanco said: "Take your brothers to check the restaurants near the community and see if you can find the video surveillance of Tres going out to eat. I will try to apply and see if I can go to Collins' house to check."

Subsequent detection revealed that the fingerprints and footprints of multiple people were detected at the crime scene.The Gonzalezes, as well as the victim's brother Will, had been in and out of the victim's room.

However, the technical investigators found an incomplete fingerprint on the umbrella, which can basically be confirmed as belonging to Collins.

Everyone in the police station was very excited.Blanco was also very happy, whether it was Jiao Yang's suggestion at the inspection site or the profile written by Lu Yuanli, they all pointed to the relatives and friends of the victim.

Collins is Mr. Gonzalez's nephew and the victim's first cousin.The relationship is indeed very close.

Blanco quietly told Jiao Yang about today's discovery.

After Lu Yuanli heard about it, he asked Jiao Yang, "Do you think Collins will be the murderer?"

Jiao Yang frowned and said, "I still don't know what the specific situation of Collins is. Does it fit your profile? If so, what is his motive for killing?"

Lu Yuanli pondered and said: "I remember that Tres graduated from a famous school, maybe he has always been a child of someone else's family in the words of his peers? Not quite right, if it is really because of this reason, it should be in the most beautiful place in Tres. It's time to start, not when he can't find a job and is preparing for the exam at home."

"Maybe it's because of deep grievances."

Jiao Yang said: "Maybe Tres doesn't like his cousin very much. According to the available evidence, Collins went to Mrs. Gonzalez's house that day and called her. This probably shows that Collins and Mrs. Tres, the relationship between the two is average."

Lu Yuanli said: "There are still some strange things. If the relationship between the two is not good, then why did Collins visit Mrs. Gonzalez's house when Tres was at home? He didn't know that Gonzalez Is Mrs. Sarace still at work?"

"There is another place that is also very strange."

Jiao Yang said: "Collinth clearly knows that Mr. Gonzalez was hospitalized in a coma, and his aunt and cousins ​​have to take turns to wait in the hospital. Why don't you just take things to visit the hospital and go to Mr. Gonzalez's house? This person really looks more and more like a murderer."

Lu Yuanli murmured, "But I feel that Corinth seems to be courting me for nothing."

"Well, yes, precisely."

Jiao Yang leaned over and said, "Our Professor Lu is very experienced in this field!"

Lu Yuanli gave him a push, "Now we'll see if Blanco's search of Collins' home and office can find anything."

Early the next morning, when a batch of search warrants came out, Blanco led a team to Collins' home, and several other police officers went to Collins' company.

Collins lived with his parents, and the old couple were already very surprised that he was detained at the police station yesterday.When the police came to the door early this morning, both of them were shocked.

Collins' father yelled at Blanco: "Tres was killed, what's the matter with my son? You are good, why don't you investigate the real culprit and come to pester my son?!"

"Excuse me, Mr. Gonzalez."

Blanco said: "We found a video of your son going to the victim's home on the day of the crime in the surveillance at the crime scene, and he has already admitted this. Moreover, he also left one of the things he carried with him At the scene of the crime. Now all the evidence is against him. Therefore, I hope that the two of you can cooperate with our investigation! Otherwise, Collins may be in trouble."
