Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

Chapter 490: Declaration (Part 2)


He needed to obtain some clues from Mohan Wald, but he couldn't ask directly, otherwise, Mohan Wald would know he was lying.

"Describe the specific process of how you committed the crime."

Mohan Wald thought for a moment, then shook his head, "By the time I arrived, Colin was already dead. It was Little Gary Sane who killed her, and only Little Gary Sane knows the detailed process of the murder."

"What happened afterward? How did you handle the body?"

"I was terrified at the time because I'd never experienced anything like this before.

Little Gary Sane told me to find a large plastic bag to cover the body, but I searched the yacht and couldn't find one.

When I returned to the room, Little Gary Sane had already wrapped Colin Lopez's body in a blanket and scolded me for being useless.

He then told me to get a toolbox, a very heavy large iron box, and we tied the body and the toolbox together and threw them into the sea.

Little Gary Sane also said that as long as our kidnapping story was confirmed, even if the police found Colin's body, we could blame it on the kidnappers, unrelated to us."

"What does the blood letter V mean?"

"Little Gary Sane wanted to confuse the police, to make them think he was really kidnapped, so he wrote that V character with his own blood. It has no meaning; it's just to mislead the police's investigation."

"Who else knows about this?"

"Only me and Little Gary Sane."

Luke frowned in thought, because in Isa Redman's kidnapping case, the kidnapper Hugo Joduri claimed to be Mr. V, and the police initially thought the two cases were connected.

But, according to Mohan Wald's description, the two kidnapping cases are not directly related.

So, the kidnapper Hugo Joduri claiming to be Mr. V is either a coincidence or he knew about the yacht crime scene's details and also aimed to confuse the police by deliberately claiming to be Mr. V to link the two kidnapping cases.

Those who knew the yacht scene besides Little Gary Sane and Mohan Wald were the FBI agents.

This means that Anthony's suspicion of an FBI mole is not baseless but has some foundation.

Luke pushed down his thoughts and asked, "If you hadn't been caught by the FBI, what would you have done?"

"Little Gary Sane was preparing a plan. He was going to find a remote place and fake a kidnapping scene.

Then, we would fake some injuries on ourselves and find a suitable opportunity to appear in public.

Claiming we escaped while the kidnappers were not paying attention.

I thought this was quite risky and kept persuading them to surrender, but he wouldn't listen.

I now understand, Colin was killed by him, and I shouldn't have abetted his crime.

I will testify against him; he's the murderer!"

Luke laughed, this guy tries to extricate himself so cleanly, making it seem like Little Gary Sane did the killing and came up with the idea, as if he was completely coerced.

In Luke's view, this guy is worse than Little Gary Sane.

He wants to escape punishment, but it won't be that easy.

American juries tend to favor the underdog, and for the same serious crime, an underdog might be declared innocent by the jury.

But this underdog is not Mohan Wald.

It's Colin Lopez.

Although Colin Lopez was killed by Little Gary Sane, Mohan Wald, as Colin Lopez's boyfriend, not only remained indifferent but also became an accomplice. This behavior easily arouses public resentment and disgust.

As long as Mohan Wald doesn't get a favorable plea deal, he will surely be severely punished.

Mentioning this, one must talk about Sofia, her experiences elicit sympathy, and she's seen by the jury as the 'underdog.' Although she indeed participated in the kidnapping, she is also a victim and is very likely to be acquitted by the jury.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the interrogation ended.

Luke and Anthony met in the motel courtyard.

Anthony handed Luke a cigarette, "How did the interrogation go on your end?"

Luke lit the cigarette and took a puff, "According to Mohan Wald's testimony, Little Gary Sane fancied his girlfriend Colin Lopez, deliberately got Colin Lopez drunk, and forcibly played poker. During this time, Colin Lopez woke up, the two struggled, and Little Gary Sane killed Colin Lopez.

Little Gary Sane didn't want to go to jail and sank Colin Lopez's body into the sea.

Afterward, the two staged a kidnapping, trying to evade police investigation in this way, attributing Colin Lopez's death to the 'kidnappers.'

According to Mohan Wald, Mrs. Sane also knew about it and was secretly passing them information."

Anthony nodded, "Little Gary Sane admitted to killing Colin Lopez. We found some scratches and bite marks on him, and I've had people conducting a bite mark analysis.

He said that at first, he wanted to turn himself in, but was stopped by his friend Mohan Wald.

In Mohan Wald's words, even if Little Gary Sane surrendered, he would still be found guilty and end up in jail, ruining his life.

Little Gary Sane was convinced not to turn himself in.

Later, Mohan Wald proposed the self-staged kidnapping plan to evade police investigation. Little Gary Sane thought the plan was good and was grateful to this good friend, thinking Mohan Wald had his best interest in mind.
