His wife, Leda, was a cheerful person, she wanted to be the joy of the party, if you went to a barbecue, let her be.

I went to the house, Leda and my brother James, hugging and kissing, they were hiding in another corner of the house, hiding, in another corner of the house, out of sight, but your brother Arnold caught them.

She was nice, but at the same time, he knew that she was married, but she had a relationship with my brother.

To avoid trouble, Arnold kept his brother's secret, but for a small town, they couldn't do it for long.

James was a mechanic, Ernest was on the phone, when they started to argue, the betrayed husband found out.

He got out of control fast; they started fighting.

Leda and Ernest got back together, so they tried to make the relationship work, then they moved again, the man wanted to stay with her, so they got back together, cut ties with Arnold, when he was going to leave one of these days to go preaching.

Ernest went to a motorcycle meeting, he and a friend came back, then, talking in front of the apartment they had, when they heard shots, he was murdered.

They tried, but something stopped them, a tragedy interrupted the plans, he died at the entrance to the apartment, there was a trail of blood, which led to the stairs, in addition to a pool of blood under him, when he turned and faced the attacker.

His wife, who called the emergency, hearing shots, she ran downstairs, seeing her husband, dead, who called the police, there was no suspect, no suspects, in a deserted street.

The woman was not a suspect, all Ernest's relatives could do was mourn.

Arnold and Wiliam spoke over the phone, they believed in their theory, they believed James had something to do with it.

So, they headed towards James' house.

- Do you have something to do with this? – Arnold questioned him.

- No... - He said.

- James... - Robert questioned him.

He denied it, so a few sLedanas later, the woman returned to the city, when they moved in together, she began to have a luxurious lifestyle, she had a company salon, rented real estate, she did income tax, managed other businesses, such as rentals.

The woman was the envy of the whole town, they were compulsive, their relationship was strange, all this was reckless, they also did not understand what one saw in the other.

Then, they realize that he has something new, everything new, he himself didn't have a job, she gave him gifts, while James, in turn, couldn't get a job, he was a truck driver, he was unemployed.

They got married in a sLedana afterwards, without inviting anyone

Arnold was a mechanic and Robert was a fireman, but they both did odd jobs.

One day, still at the height of his business, with all the distrust of the family that was not invited to the wedding, James arrived towards Robert, with a check in hand.

He asked them to cash a check for $20,000, they were businessmen, no that wasn't good.

- You can; t help me...? – He questioned.

- I'm helping you, James... - Robert said.

- Now, get out of here. Robert said.

Six months after the murder of Pastor Ernest, when they moved into the house of their dreams, which they built, it was a mansion, each room bigger than the other, with the joining of two houses, the carpets, which cost from five to ten one thousand dollars.

A check that bounced, a check covering the other, a bill she didn't pay.

There should be a dozen cameras around the house, Leda decides to go even further, they hired them to build a fence around the pool and at the back of the house.

Leda looked at the house and outbuildings, so she sent James to speak with Arnold and Robert.

She waited for the fences to be built, to send James out to say.

- Leda won't pay, because you built the wrong fence.

- Hey, wait a minute, if you don't want to pay, go back to your boss, then, say that if you don't pay, everything is fine, I'll take everything. Arnold said.

So they were being separated and Leda took James away from the rest of the family, they spent some time.

When Arnold was watching television, it was Wednesday, a comedy show was on.

That same morning, James' wife, Leda wanted to talk to her husband, but she had travelled, so she asked his mother to go towards the mansion to wake up her son.

The woman saw that the door was leaning, when she entered, then, she saw that when entering there, her son, James, died, murdered, with a shot in his head.

His mother called her son, Arnold, also for emergency.

It took 10 minutes to get to Leda's house, so it took him five minutes when Arnold was approached and stopped by the police, who stopped him halfway.

So Arnold called the woman, it was James' wife, he called the man's wife.

- Leda... – It was Arnold.

- What there was...? Leda said.

- Where are you? – Arnold questioned.

- I'm in Florida. - She said. - What's up.

- James was murdered. Arnold said.

She gave a dry cry, that's when he realized she didn't love him.

24 hours, a trip takes 5 hours, she took longer.

On the day of the murder, the day Leda left for another state, she was the last person to see him.

Arnold told the police that Leda had cameras, but when they went to investigate, then it was Leda, but she turned off the cameras, so she left.

She touched the places where he was shot, she should at least respect the dead, if Arnold and Robert had any doubts that she was a murderer, at the funeral they cleared their doubts.

She was close with Terry, he became her handyman during the funeral and afterward.

We tried to do the math, there was always some doubt, the question was, what did Terry know about anything, would he be the next target.

They went to Terry's house. – Let's go for a walk. - The man said.

- They took them by car, so they were on a deserted street inside the car.

- Ernest and James are dead. Arnold said.

- They asked. Terry said.

- They who? - Robert questioned

- James and Leda asked me to kill Ernest.

- I killed Ernest. - He said.

- How it was...? - Robert questioned.

- I approached him, killed him with the 9 mm, then, I got in the car, drove along the highway and threw the gun in the river.

- Okay, you're going to do the right thing, you're going to tell the police and the family and we're going to help you.

- Terry ran away then, he never gave himself up, he ran away in the middle of the night, after taking a walk with the two.

It was around 3 am, the phone rang.

- There's something in your mailbox. the voice said into the phone, then hung up.

It was life insurance, for Ernest, in 2000, since it gradually increased, from 200 thousand dollars to 1 million dollars, before Ernest's death, there was a change of beneficiary, so, they saw that it was in the name of James...

That's when the money ended, when they built the house, so they believe that Leda is the mastermind of the crime.

- Arnold said. “To solve Robert's murder, we have to solve Ernest's murder.

They took a trip to Lovecraft County, to speak with a lawyer, every case he took, he managed to solve.

He was in his office, the same manager, he was still a detective, he was the best.

- This was the first time, that a family member accused another family member of murder.

- It all started at our family party. Robert said.

- We would be knowing that we are not lying, that she is a murderer.

- You have to avoid Leda. - The detective said.

- I got formal statements that everything we suspected, talking to a friend, shooting twice, with a 9 mm gun,

Someone outside the family knew what was going on and what was going on.
