Ten minutes later, Anthony's men brought a file.

Luke took the file and checked it. The file recorded the exact time of Burnett Coffey's murder, March 14, 1984, which was thirty-nine years ago.

The crime scene was located in the Atree Cemetery.

According to the file, at 6 pm on March 14, Burnett Coffey entered the cemetery. Because he did not come out for a long time, the driver entered the cemetery to check and found Burnett lying on the ground with a crossbow arrow stuck in his back. The blood stained his clothes and the surrounding ground. Then, the driver found the cemetery office and called the police.

Although this record is simple, Luke saw some problems.

The first is the place of death of the deceased, the cemetery.

Similar to Burnett Coffey's identity, he should have a bodyguard. It is not easy to kill him. Choosing to commit the crime in the cemetery should be well prepared.

This can also be seen from the tools used in the crime. The power and convenience of the crossbow are not as good as the pistol, but the advantage is that the sound is small and it is not easy to be discovered. It is easy for the murderer to escape after committing the crime.

Another point is that Burnett Coffey entered the cemetery alone at six o'clock in the evening, which is a bit suspicious. Why did he enter the cemetery alone? Moreover, people usually do not choose the time period of six o'clock in the evening to worship the dead. Burnett Coffey is very likely to avoid being seen.

Luke continued to look at the file. The owner of the cemetery that Burnett visited was Grace Kamara, a black woman, born in 1950 and died on March 14, 1982.

Grace Kamara is also Burnett Coffey's secretary.

A boss went to worship his secretary two years after his secretary died, which is enough to show that the relationship between the two is unusual.

This may be the case that like father, like son. Burnett Coffey died next to the secretary's grave: Thirty-nine years later, his son died in the secretary's home, inheriting not only the family business, but also the same hobbies.

According to the records in the file, the FBI found two suspects after an investigation, Dolly French and Michael Kamara.

Among them, Dolly French had business dealings with the Coffey Group, and his company was eventually acquired by the Coffey Group due to poor management.

During the acquisition process, Burnett Coffey and Dolly French had some conflicts. Dolly French believed that Burnett Coffey used improper means to deliberately lower the acquisition price, and even claimed that the reason why the company's capital chain was broken was that Burnett Coffey United Bank set him up, and threatened to retaliate against Burnett many times.

However, after Luke read Dolly French's information, he thought that he was unlikely to commit a crime again, because Dolly French was already fifty years old at the time, and now he is a ninety-year-old man.

The suspect Michael Kamara is the younger brother of Burnett Coffey's black female secretary.

The black female secretary was determined to have committed suicide. She was only thirty-two years old when she died. According to the records of the FBI file, since the black female secretary committed suicide, her brother Michael Kamara has repeatedly gone to the Coffey Group to make trouble, threatening that Burnett Coffey killed his sister.

According to Burnett Coffey's bodyguard, Michael Kamara once attacked Burnett and injured his shoulder, but Burnett did not call the police, but let the bodyguard let him go.

After Burnett was killed, the FBI also investigated Michael Kamara, but the other party had an alibi and did not have the time to commit the crime.

After the case, the FBI also visited and investigated around the cemetery, but because few people went to the cemetery during that period, no relevant clues of witnesses were found, which is why the case has never been solved.

After reading the file, Luke compared this case with the Silver Cross case and the murder of Garian Coffey, and felt that the three cases had a certain connection.

The time of this case was only a few months apart from the Silver Cross case.

Secondly, Burnett and Garian Coffey were father and son. When they were killed, they were both chairman of the Coffey Group and had close contacts with their secretaries.

Before that, Luke had a detailed understanding of the murder of Garian Coffey and the Silver Cross case.

But the knowledge of Burnett's murder case is limited to the files. Thirty-nine years have passed since the case. If you want to know more clues about the case, you can only visit the case officers and people involved in the case.

However, the FBI agents who investigated the case have retired, and those who can be contacted are either on sick leave or have passed away.

Luke focused on the people involved in the case. After some investigation, he found the address of the black secretary's brother.

No. 305, Kariku Community.

A black SUV drove into the community and stopped in front of a house with gray walls and white windows.

The door of the SUV opened, and Luke got out of the car and looked at the environment of the community.

Xiao Hei walked to the door and looked around, "I like this community. It's great in the black community."

"Yes, I hope Michael Kamara didn't sell this house." Luke signaled Xiao Hei to knock on the door. The same skin color still has certain advantages.

Xiao Hei walked to the gate of the yard and pressed the video doorbell.

A moment later, a gray-haired black woman appeared in the video, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, ma'am, is this Michael Kamara's home?"

"Yes, what can I do for you?"

The black man replied, "We are the police, and we want to find Michael Kamara to learn something."

The black woman asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

"We are investigating a homicide and would like to ask him to assist in the investigation."

"Haha, murder? Are you kidding me?"

"No, ma'am, I'm serious about this. Is Michael Kamara home?"

"Of course, he's not going anywhere."

"Can you let us in?"

"OK, I also want to see how serious you are."

Then the door opened and Luke and Blackie walked into the yard.

The door opened, and a well-built black woman stood at the door, "Are you really the police?"

Luke flashed his badge, "Yes, ma'am.

What is your relationship with Michael Kamara? "

"I am his wife."

"We would like to speak with Mr. Michael Kamara."

The black woman sighed, "I also want him to talk to you, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult."

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Madam, we won't delay too long."

The black woman curled her lips and said, "Come with me."

The black woman led the two people into the house. The living room was a bit messy, there was a wheelchair on the wall, and there was a smell of disinfectant. Luke instinctively became vigilant.

The black woman walked through the living room, led the two people to the back bedroom, opened the bedroom door, "Honey, a friend is here to see you."

Luke looked towards the bedroom. The room was a little dim, and there was a faint smell. An old black man was sitting beside the bed, with a bib hanging on his chest. His eyes were dull and he lowered his head slightly, not bothered by the sounds from the outside world. In response, the corners of his mouth were a little crooked, and his left hand curled up unnaturally.

Xiao Hei frowned and said, "Wow, he is Michael Kamara?"

"Yes."

"What's up with him?"

“He had been drinking for a long time and had a cerebral thrombosis three years ago and that was it.

He hasn't been out for a long time and has difficulty talking and walking, so I'm surprised that you want to find out about him. "The black woman stepped forward, wiped Michael Kamara's saliva with a bib, then closed the door and brought Luke into the living room.

"You two officers, would you like something to drink?"

"no thank you."

"I understand." The black woman shrugged. "In the past, the neighbors liked to come to our house as guests, but since my husband got sick, they are not even willing to drink a cup of coffee, let alone eating."

Xiao Hei said with a sincere face, "Madam, we are just afraid of causing trouble to you. After all, not everyone welcomes the police to come to their door."

"OK, tell me why you are here.

My husband has hardly left the house since he became ill. What case can you learn from him? "

"The murder of Burnett Coffey in the cemetery thirty-nine years ago."

The black woman said helplessly, "Don't talk about my husband like this. Even if he is not sick, he doesn't want to talk to you about this case."

Luke said, "Madam, after Burnett Coffey was killed, your husband was also investigated as a suspect because of his conflict with him. Now we are re-investigating this case, and we also want to clear your husband's innocence. "

The black woman looked towards the bedroom, "He is already like this, does it matter if he is innocent or not?"

Luke stood up and walked to the TV cabinet. There were two photos on it. The photo on the left was a family portrait of Michael Kamara. He was sitting in a wheelchair in the middle, his wife standing beside him, and a young man and woman. Standing behind the photo, it says the time is July 2021.

The other was an old photo of a man and a woman, like a photo of Michael Kamara when he was young.

Luke picked up the old photo and asked, "Is this a photo of Mr. Michael Kamara and his sister?"

“Yes, this is the most precious thing my husband has.

He didn't like taking pictures when he was young, and this is the only photo he took with his sister. "

"Does your husband have a good relationship with his sister?"

“His father left shortly after my husband was born, and his mother overdosed and died when he was eight.

After that, he was raised by his sister alone, and they had a good relationship.

The down payment for our wedding house was also given by his sister.

She's really nice. "The black woman sighed, "Her death is a huge regret for us.

It wasn't until many years passed that my husband got over his grief. "

Xiao Hei asked, "I have seen the FBI investigation data, which records that your husband's sister committed suicide."

“Shit, those guys are totally covering for Burnett Coffey.

My husband's sister was forced to death by Mr. and Mrs. Burnett Coffey. They were the murderers! "

"What do you mean by forcing me to death?"

The black woman shook her head and sighed, "It's been so many years, and I don't want to mention it again."

Luke said, "Madam, whether you want to mention this or not, we have to investigate.

If you don't want to mention it, then we can only find out about it from the Coffey family.

Therefore, I still prefer you to say it yourself. "

"Those rich people don't say anything nice." The black woman took a deep breath and continued, "My husband's sister was Burnett Coffey's secretary. The workplace of that era was not very good for black women. friendly.

Burnett Coffey took advantage of this and forced her into a relationship.

My husband's sister needs this job to support the family and has to make do in order to keep her job.

Until Burnett Coffey's wife found out..."

The black woman pinched her forehead and continued, "Burnett Coffey's wife went to the company and made a scene, falsely accusing my husband's sister of seducing Burnett Coffey, bullying her in front of everyone in the company, and even driving her out of the company.

This incident dealt a heavy blow to my husband's sister, making her unable to raise her head in front of her family and neighbors...

Afterwards, Burnett Coffey and his wife used various means to discredit my husband's sister, ruining her reputation and causing my husband's sister to have mental problems and suicidal tendencies.

The Coffey family is simply a devil."

The black woman stood up, "I really don't want to recall this sad past.

Gentlemen, you should leave."

"Ma'am, I'm sorry to bring up your sad story.

I want to say that I understand your helplessness." Xiao Hei comforted, pursed his thick lips, and followed Luke out of the house.

Xiao Hei got into the driver's seat and said to Luke beside him, "This is why I don't like rich people. Under the corruption of money, they gradually lose their humanity.

Especially in that cannibalistic era, those rich people don't care about the lives of black people at all, let alone their reputation."

Luke patted his shoulder, "Man, calm down, we are investigating the case."

"I know." Xiao Hei took a deep breath, "I just think that we shouldn't toss these innocent people for the sake of the Coffey family.

The two generations of Coffey family chairmen were killed, and their deaths were related to the secretary. Could this be a dispute within their family?

External hatred rarely lasts for thirty-nine years, but internal conflicts have always been there."

"You're right, but even if the Coffey family has problems, they won't tell us easily." Luke said, and suddenly thought of something, took out his mobile phone and called Otway Stone, "Hey, this is Luke.

Is the documentary about the Coffey family going well?"
