But actually, Gelina was the first to be murdered, could she have been the true target, and silver merchant Novina Jones merely an accident, or a ruse by the killer to mislead the police investigation?"
Luke seized the opportunity to analyze, "Do you think the Sweeney couple, Gelina Sweeney and her husband, were the actual targets of the murderer?"
The deputy nodded, "They were a married couple, and it's suspicious for a husband and wife to be killed one after another.
The reason we didn't suspect before was that Helson was mistaken for the murderer, and it was also possible that he committed suicide.
According to your hypothesis, if Helson was also a victim of homicide, then it's very likely that the couple were the real targets of the killer."
Luke thought this guess was interesting, "Matthew, can you check who inherits Helson's estate if he was murdered?"
"OK."
