"Things aren't like that, I'm not crazy enough to intentionally kill a police officer.

But some things aren't up to me to decide.

There's no such thing as a perfect world.

There are no flawless cases either; accidents can happen at any time." Davo Gali sighed, "We initially didn't plan to rob. We aimed to exploit the security loopholes at Getty Museum to perform a theft.

I used my role as a security consultant to obtain the museum's layout, security distribution diagrams, lock codes, and so on.

I've always been cautious, but still felt like someone was watching me.

Jens Hauley.

I've seen him at the Southern District, perhaps out of police intuition, I think he's suspicious of me.

It makes me uneasy, worried that he found evidence, even if he doesn't have enough evidence to expose me before the incident.

Then after the theft of the museum's painting, he might still suspect me.

To me, he is a ticking time bomb."

"So, you killed him then?"

"No, I didn't kill him.

I merely told this to George, he said he would handle it.

The idea of framing and killing him was his; he sent people to do it. I only found out about it afterward."

"Were you the one who had the two hundred thousand US dollars and the museum layout planted in Jens Hauley's rented warehouse?"

"No, that was George's idea too.

Though, I agreed to help him steal the painting.

But I was always hesitant, worried the plan might fail, never fully committed.

George is a terrifying guy, he saw through my worries and suggested killing Jens Hauley to remove future threats.

Simultaneously, place some 'stolen goods' in Jens Hauley's warehouse, framing him as the mole, thus clearing suspicion off me."

I was persuaded by him and ended up worrying less about the future issues."

Luke asked urgently, "Who killed Jens Hauley then?"

"I only know it was George's orders. I'm not sure who executed it.

I didn't want to get too involved in this; otherwise, my identity might get exposed." Davo Gali sighed, "Didn't expect to still be found by you guys."

"Initially you planned the theft inside the museum, why did you then switch to robbing the transported painting?"

"After obtaining the museum's layout and security plans, George and his partners studied them. They felt the theft inside was too difficult. Security was present every day, risking failure and being caught.

We were forced to change plans, deciding to rob during the painting's transport.

The security detail was relatively weak; as long as we could get the transport route and timing in advance, the chance of successful robbery was high."

"Besides George's identity, do you know any other clues about the robbers?"

"No, he's the only robber I've interacted with."

"What about other hideouts?"

"I've only been to the explosion hideout, which is now destroyed.

In fact, I haven't had much contact with them.

Besides George, the other robbers don't know my identity.

Similarly, I don't know theirs.

This way, it's good for everyone."

Luke said, "We need George's photo and fingerprints."

...

Robbery and Murder Department office.

Luke gathered everyone for a meeting, and straightforwardly said, "Victim patrol officer Jens Hauley wasn't the mole. We've wronged him."

Earlier, while the deputy was investigating the murdered officer Jens Hauley, he discovered Häuley had a warehouse, which contained the Getty Museum layout and two hundred thousand US dollars in cash.

At the same time, Luke found out Jens Hauley had worked at the Getty Museum as a security guard due to financial difficulties.

Compounded by these clues, the Robbery and Murder Department speculated Jens Hauley's actions were suspicious, suspecting him to be the museum's mole for the painting robbery gang.

Now it seems they were wrong. The real mole was Southern District Detective Chief Davo Gali. He suspected Jens Hauley was onto him and had partners deal with Hauley as a threat. To avoid being detected as the mole, he intentionally framed Hauley, placing stolen cash and the museum layout in Hauley's warehouse.

Gotta admit, his tactics were vicious, not only taking the opponent's life but also smearing their reputation.

Not just Luke, everyone present felt a pang of guilt and dread.

Thankfully the truth came out; otherwise, Jens Hauley would've been wronged.

Regarding Davo Gali's testimony, Luke didn't fully believe it. From the previous interrogation, Davo Gali seemed to clear himself, pinning Jens Hauley's death on his partner George. But Luke believed Hauley's death was closely linked to him.

The urgent task now is to find the other robbers.

Luke's gaze swept across the crowd, "You're aware of the situation, any thoughts?"

Deputy said, "What does the FBI mean by this?"

Luke said, "It might be due to the bounty. The FBI isn't keen on cooperating this time; it's everyone for themselves, whoever finds the painting first gets it."

Jackson said, "If the FBI doesn't want to cooperate, why did they agree to join us in interrogating Davo Gali?"

Luke smiled, "Do you really believe the FBI can act recklessly?

Davo Gali is LAPD; Anthony's interrogation of Davo Gali isn't as simple as he says.

But with us present, it's different.

We are also LAPD; the FBI feels much less pressure."
