Luke asked, "When was the last time you saw each other?"

Mbak Eta calmed down and said, "This is my personal business.

Before answering your questions, I want to know why you arrested me?

I know the law, and if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll file a complaint against you.

I'm serious."

Luke said, "Latifa Gallo is dead."

"Come on, don't joke about that."

David cursed, "Fuck, who do you think you are?

Do you think we'd come out in the middle of the night just to joke with you?"

Mbak Eta's smile froze, "Oh my God, is she really dead?"

Luke replied, "Yes, and I found your DNA inside her.

That's why we're looking for you."

David said coldly, "You insulted a prison guard and cruelly killed her.

I believe your life in prison is going to be quite interesting."

Mbak Eta turned pale and quickly explained, "No no no, I didn't kill her, I didn't even know she was dead.

I admit I saw her yesterday and played poker with her, but her death has nothing to do with me."

David summed up, "So, you admit you forced yourself on her?"

"No, she was willing.

To be precise, she initiated it; she wanted to play poker with me."

Luke shrugged, "She's dead, you can say whatever you want, but do you think the judge will believe you?

A female prison guard actively wants to play poker with someone with a criminal record."

"What I'm saying is true. She walked over on her own, grabbed me down there, then I hugged her... I'm a normal man."

Luke probed, "Why did you go to her house?"

"I didn't go to her house, we agreed to meet at a motel. She was fine when she left, I swear to God, I'm telling the truth."

"Why did you meet at a motel?"

Mbak Eta hesitated, "Uh... that's personal."

David sneered, "If it were me, I wouldn't say anything either. One wrong word and you might reveal your motive for murder."

Mbak Eta argued loudly, "No, I really didn't kill her."

Luke sternly said, "Then tell me everything between you two without any concealment. If you lie, the police will doubt everything you say.

Including your denial of murder, understand?"

"Damn..." Mbak Eta lowered his head, "I really don't know what to say."

David said, "Then tell us how you killed Latifa Gallo? Maybe that's easier."

"I'll say it one last time, I didn't kill her. If you don't believe me, you can investigate."

Luke pointed to his eyes, "Look at me.

I'm with the Robbery and Murder Department, and I'm only interested in finding out the truth about Latifa Gallo's murder.

I know there might be some secrets between you two, I don't care about that.

All I want is to find out who killed Latifa Gallo.

Your task now is to explain clearly why you two met to clear your suspicion, understand?"

"Are you serious?"

"That depends on whether you cooperate."

Mbak Eta took a deep breath, "I just said, Latifa Gallo was a guard at Rogel Prison. I served time in that prison, and that's how we met.

She was a bit assertive but a good person overall, and she took care of me while I was inside.

I am grateful to her, and I recently made some money, so I wanted to express my gratitude."

"How much money did you give her?"

"Twenty thousand US Dollars."

Luke said, "You got out of prison six months ago. Isn't it a bit late to express gratitude now?

The police aren't fools, don't use such a clumsy excuse.

I'll keep your secret."

Mbak Eta glanced at Luke and then at David beside him, sighed, "Recently, our gang had a conflict with another group, and some of my friends ended up in Rogel Prison. I wanted to ask her to watch over them, that's all."

"How many times have you met since you got out of prison?"

"Four times, each time at the same motel. She was very careful and never met with a third person.

Moreover, last time was the first time we were intimate, I was quite surprised.

Honestly, she's not that pretty, not nearly as much as my girlfriend, but in that situation, it was hard to refuse her."

Luke said, "Any change in behavior has a reason. Why did she suddenly decide to play poker with you?"

"I also asked, if she liked me.

She laughed and said she just hadn't done it in a long time and wanted to relieve some stress."

Luke pressed, "Did you know she was married?"

"Yes, from her tone, she seemed to be having issues with her husband.

I think that's also a reason she wanted to play poker with me."

"What kind of issues did she have with her husband?"

"I don't know, we just played poker, that's all. I don't think I could get involved in her family issues, nor am I interested.

I especially don't want my girlfriend to find out about this."

Luke noted Alec Wyatt's name in his notebook. Earlier, the deputy recorded Alec Wyatt's statement, and he came off as a good husband and father, never mentioning any issues with the victim.

If Alec Wyatt found out the victim was playing poker with a thug, he would understandably be furious and might act irrationally.
