Carce Community.

Outside a bungalow with a gray roof and white walls, a young white man is repairing a wooden fence.

The white man, about twenty years old, was wearing headphones, humming to himself, and holding a hammer in his right hand to knock on the wooden fence.

"Woooo..."

Two cars were parked on the side of the road.

Luke and Xiao Hei got out of the car in front, and Jackson and Porter also got out of the car in the back and stood on the side of the road on guard.

After Luke looked around, he looked at the young man who was repairing the wooden fence and said, "Man, can I talk to you?"

The young white man didn't respond. I don't know if it was because he was wearing headphones or because he simply didn't want to pay attention.

Xiao Hei walked to the east of the yard, waved his hand, and shouted, "Hey, can you hear me?"

The young white man put down his hammer and took off his headphones, "Sorry, I was listening to music just now. What's the matter?"

Xiao Hei looked him up and down and asked, "Are you Mirko Moss?"

"It's me." The white young man frowned, "Who are you? I don't seem to know you."

Xiao Hei showed his police badge and said, "I am Detective Marcus of the Robbery and Murder Department, and this is our Captain Li."

The white young man stood up and said, "Robbery and Murder Department?"

What do you want from me?"

"Do you know Hedda Cartman?"

Mirko Moss was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, "No, I don't know him."

Xiao Hei curled his lips, "Are you sure? Lying is not a good habit."

"Sorry, I have other things to do." Mirko Moss picked up the tools and walked towards the garage.

Blackie shouted, "Hey, we checked Hedda Cartman's call records and found that you two had call records. Don't you want to explain?"

Mirko Moss stopped and asked, "Why don't you ask her?"

"She's dead."

"What?" Mirko Moss's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief, "What did you just say?"

"She's dead."

"Oh my God!" Mirko Moss covered his face with his hands, slowly squatted on the ground, took a deep breath, and choked up after a long time, "When did she die?"

"August 24th."

"Damn it, I thought..." Mirko Moss knocked his head, "I'm such a bastard, I should have gone to find her earlier. She has been dead for so long, but I didn't know about it, and I kept complaining.

she.

The one who really deserves to die is me, me."

Milko Moss's shouting alarmed the neighbors, and Luke consoled him, "We are also very sorry for the death of Hedda Cartman.

We came here this time to understand her situation and find out the truth behind her murder.

If possible, we would like to talk to you alone."

"Come with me." Mirko Moss sighed, stood up, and walked toward the house.

Luke and Xiao Hei followed him in.

Mirko Moss was not in the mood to entertain the two of them. He sat down on the sofa, his eyes red, and he seemed to be still immersed in sadness.

Luke sat on the sofa next to him and asked, "I can see that you are very sad. Can I ask about your relationship with Hedda Cartman?"

Milko Moss looked at the TV cabinet on the right, where there was a photo of him and Hedda Cartman, "Our relationship is somewhat special... a bit like family."

Xiao Hei raised his eyebrows, "Family?"

"Yes, I think so."

Xiao Hei glanced at the living room, "As far as I know, this house should be rented by Hedda Cartman. Why would she rent a house to you?"

"It's none of your business."

Xiao Hei curled his lips and said, "OK, let's change the question. When we first asked you, why did you say you didn't know Hedda Cartman?"

Mirko Moss shook his head, "I haven't been able to contact her since August 24.

I thought... our relationship had brought burden and trouble to her, and I thought she wanted to cut off contact with me.

After all, for her... I am not a glorious history."

Luke said earnestly, "Listen, Hedda Cartman is dead now, and some things are no longer important to her, but we need to sort out the relationships around her to find clues to her murder as soon as possible.

So, what is your relationship?"

Mirko Moss hesitated for a long time, "I...

She is my biological mother."

"What!" It was Xiao Hei's turn to be surprised, "As far as I know, Hedda Cartman is only 34 years old. How could she have a son as old as you?"

"You are right. She will have her 35th birthday in two weeks. I have prepared a birthday gift for her, but..." Mirko Moss spread his hands and said helplessly, "Everything I said is true.

It’s true, it’s up to you to believe it or not.”

Luke looked at Mirko Moss, "How old are you?"

"18 years old."

"In other words, Hedda Cartman gave birth to you when she was sixteen."

"Yes.

She was in school at the time and had no ability to raise me, so she sent me to a child welfare agency...

That's why I say, this was not a glorious experience.

Even if she doesn't want to associate with me, I can understand it. After all, she already has her own family, and my appearance... is like a nuclear bomb exploding to her family."

Blackie asked, "Hedda Cartman's current husband doesn't know that she had given birth to a child before?"

"Come on, she was only sixteen years old at the time and still a student.

My existence is like a taboo, no one knows except her parents.

How could she tell her marriage partner?" Milko Moss showed a hint of self-deprecation, "Even now, she has not thought about it, or has the courage to tell her husband.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, I could feel that I was still a burden to her.

Therefore, after I couldn't get through to her, I subconsciously thought that she wanted to let go of this relationship...

I can understand that.

But I didn't expect..." Mirko Moss's eyes turned red, "Who killed her?"

Luke said, "We just found out the identity of Hedda Cartman today, and it's not clear yet.

Do you know if she has offended anyone recently or if you have any suspicions?"

"Actually, I don't know much about her life.

We have not known each other for a long time, and she has never told anyone else, not even her parents.

However, she was injured some time ago and was beaten by her husband." Mirko Moss pinched the fingers of her left hand with her right hand. "She cares about her husband very much. She is afraid that her husband will not be able to accept her experience, so

, she never told her husband about me.

If her husband knew about this, he would definitely be very angry."

"Where were you between nine and ten o'clock last night?"

"Working as a waiter in a bar.

Haida helped me pay my rent for a year, but from now on I have to rely on myself.

This is my first home, the home that truly belongs to me, and I don’t want to lose it.”

"Can you tell me the name of the bar?"

"The night bar is located at 302 Polit Street."

Luke wrote in his notebook, "When was the last time you saw Hedda Cartman?"

"It should be August 24th."

"Was there anything unusual about her at that time?"

"She told me that her husband had noticed that she was hiding something and even suspected that she was cheating.

She was going to find an opportunity to tell her husband about me.

She never contacted me. I thought her husband couldn't accept me and she chose her own husband.

Now that I think about it, I should go find her. Even if I am rejected, I should ask her in person instead of being a coward." Mirko Moss wiped his eyes, "Can I go see her?

I want to see her one last time."
