Chapter 117 Imitation
After chatting with Courtney Bass, Luke walked around the shooting site.
A few hundred meters away from the shooting site, there are several RVs, with traces of charcoal fires beside them. A plastic bucket contains a lot of household garbage, as if a bonfire party was held.
Afterwards, Luke and Xiao Hei returned to the crime scene and reported the situation to Susan.
Susan thought for a while, "You two go and investigate this traffic accident to see if there is any doubt?"
"Yes, captain."
…
In the United States, traffic police is not a type of police, but a job task, including but not limited to traffic management, and also equipped with guns, handcuffs, and equipment.
The police officers who specialize in traffic affairs are generally assigned by front-line police officers in rotation.
If there is a police situation nearby, under the deployment of the command center, the police will also be dispatched to take care of other matters.
Luke and the two went to the nearby Canyon Branch to investigate.
The person in charge of receiving the two was Harris, a black police officer in his forties. This guy was very strong, taller than Luke.
Luke also brought him a box of donuts. After learning the purpose of the two, Harris said while eating donuts, "yeah, I am responsible for this traffic accident case. The owner of the hit car His name is Lucas, he is a big star, he is very handsome, my daughter likes him very much."
"We want to see the original processing records."
"Is there a problem?" Harris rubbed the oil stains on his fingers.
"Last night, Lucas died, and we are investigating the case."
"Whoa, that's great news, it's a shame, he's a nice guy. My wife and daughter are going to die of grief."
Xiao Hei asked, "Your wife also likes him."
"Yes, I also bought Lucas's mask specially, you know, don't tell others."
"Hey man, I like you. Have a drink sometime and we'll have a good chat."
The black police officer Harris asked, "You also like to wear a mask."
Xiao Hei shook his body and smiled cheaply, "Who wouldn't like it?"
Luke felt a little redundant, "Guys, I don't want to disturb your elegant mood, but Lucas' case will definitely be on the news, and we have to catch the murderer quickly."
"You're right, I'm going to apply to my superior." Harris ate the last donut, turned and left.
Xiao Hei looked at Lu as if he wanted to say something.
Luke made a decisive decision, "Shutup!"
Xiao Hei squeezed his eyes, "I just want to recommend to you..."
"Would you like to sit in David's trunk?"
"No." Xiao Hei made a sealing action with his fingers.
…
Soon the black police officer Harris came back, and brought the case files, handling records and related materials.
Luke read the file and information, "Is there any video evidence?"
"The vehicle that caused the accident did not have a camera, but the car that was hit had a camera." The black police officer Harris played a surveillance video.
In the video, the car is parked on the side of the road, and passers-by on the sidewalk on the right can also be photographed.
Suddenly, a car on the left crashed into it at a very high speed, the camera was knocked off, and the picture was spinning.
Luke played it back several times and checked carefully, "This is not like an ordinary traffic accident."
Harris said, "It is indeed a bit suspicious. The perpetrator is named Ida Fell. He didn't take drugs or drink alcohol. He just ran into him."
"Then why is it judged as an ordinary traffic accident?"
Harris explained, "According to the perpetrator herself, she dropped her mobile phone and was leaning over to pick it up at the time, which resulted in the inability to control the vehicle and an accident occurred.
Secondly, we have no evidence to prove that she hit someone intentionally.
The most important point is that there were indeed brake marks at that time, which is very critical.
And, we asked for the opinion of Lucas, who was hit, and he agreed to a settlement. "
Luke thought for a while and asked, "Are you often in charge of transportation?"
"Yes, most of the time, my wife doesn't like me running around with a gun."
"Then you have a lot of experience."
"Of course, my marksmanship may not be good, but I am definitely an expert in this field."
"Then based on your experience, does this look like an ordinary traffic accident?"
Harris shook his head, "It doesn't matter what I think, the key is the evidence."
"Harris, we don't talk about evidence, it's like talking with friends, I want to hear your opinion."
Harris was silent for a moment, and pursed his lips, "I don't think it's normal. The perpetrator Ada has more than ten years of driving experience. This guy didn't even have a speeding ticket before. She doesn't seem to make such a low-level mistake. people."
"Thank you, your opinion is very important to me." Luke expressed his thanks and was about to leave.
Harris sent the two out of the canyon branch, chatting and laughing with Xiao Hei all the way, and had a good chat.
Before leaving, Xiao Hei stretched out his right hand, "Hey, buddy, you must call me."
Harris also waved his hands and fists, "I will."
Getting into the car, Luke looked at Harris who was still waving behind, and said with a smile, "If you know, we are here to investigate the case, but if you don't know, I think you are here to make friends."
"I just thought he was very interesting, so I chatted a few words... If you don't like my way of investigating cases, I can try to change it..."
…
2 p.m.
Luke and Xiao Hei returned to the police station.
David asked, "Where did you two **** go? I thought you disappeared too."
Luke replied, "We went to investigate Lucas' traffic accident."
"Then it won't take so long."
"I ate something on the way back. The dessert is not bad. I'll take you to try it next time."
David shook his head, "I knew it, you two lazy partners are a disaster, you can always find various reasons to be lazy, I really don't know what the captain thinks."
Xiao Hei made a poss, "yeah, I know, you're jealous.
However, we are the strongest partners. "
David pouted, "Eat shit, idiot."
Luke laughed, "David, you're like a cranky old man now, time to find a chick."
Xiao Hei made a D pistol motion, "Yeah, it's not okay to always do this, it will peel off, haha."
David gestured his middle finger, gritted his teeth, "fuck, you're dead."
Luke was speechless, Xiao Hei's mouth was really short, and he remembered eating but not hitting.
It's like a funny comparison again, so you can't hate it.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of his heartless appearance that he can spread out his network of relationships.
It can only be said that there are gains and losses.
Susan walked in from outside the office, "The preliminary identification report of the corpse is out."
Susan walked to the projector and put the information on it, "The area around the large pit where the body was found is the first crime scene. The fatal injury of the deceased was a knife wound on the back of the neck. The time of death was between ten o'clock in the evening and two o'clock in the morning. between.
In addition, the staff of the crew have identified that the murder weapon is the props of the crew. "
After talking about the autopsy report, Susan put on another video, "This is the content of the movie shot last night."
In the picture, Lucas is lying in the big pit and is calling 911. A black shadow is standing outside the big pit filling the soil, which is very similar to the scene of Lucas' accident.
"Wow...someone is imitating the plot in the movie to kill people?" Xiao Hei opened his mouth wide.
"Exactly."
Susan said, "This movie describes the love story of a young man and woman.
The hero and heroine meet in a bar, and they fall in love at first sight.
The man is a company executive, a young talent, and the heroine is a wealthy daughter, beautiful and kind.
The two quickly fell in love.
Later, the heroine suddenly disappeared, as if the world had evaporated. The hero desperately looked for him, and finally got the news from the heroine's friend.
The heroine's family went bankrupt and she was burdened with huge debts. The heroine chose to leave because she was afraid of dragging down the hero.
The hero wants to help the heroine after learning about it, but he has no ability.
Because he is not a company executive at all, but a poisonous fan, and he also rents luxury cars.
Pretended to be tall, rich and handsome to cheat, but in the end he really fell in love with the heroine.
In order to help the heroine, the hero embezzled the money from the boss and used the money to help the heroine pay off her debts.
The poisonous rice boss knew about this, and buried him alive in order to punish his betrayal.
That is the scene you just saw.
The heroine was very sad when she learned about this incident, and wanted to commit suicide, but unexpectedly found that she was pregnant, and raised the child alone. "
"Wow, what a poignant love story... I will never read it." The deputy team shook their heads.
Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Deputy team, this movie is not for your age group."
"bullshit, the foundation of a good movie is to have a sufficiently broad audience."
Susan interrupted everyone, "Now we are not discussing whether this movie is good or bad, but why did the murderer kill people according to the plot of the movie?"
Luke said, "Has this movie been made before? Could it be some fanatic?"
Susan said, "This is a script adapted from a novel, and it's the first filming."
The deputy team combed their hair with a comb, "Using the movie plot to kill people, how does it feel like promoting this movie, I dare say this movie will definitely be fired.
I think we should check the relevant interest chain of the movie. If the protagonist dies, who will be the ultimate beneficiary if the movie is a big hit? "
Luke said, "There are too many, as long as people related to this movie will benefit."
"Woooooooooooo..."
At this moment, there was a faint cry of a woman.
Xiao Hei asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Raymond spread his hands, "Lucas' wife is here, and Jenny took her to identify the body."
David said, "Lucas, I have an impression of this actor. I watched his movie Special Warfare, and I felt explosive at the time. I liked his shooting style at the time, but then he changed.
It's a pity that I'm only in my thirties this year. "
The deputy team nodded, "Yeah, so contentment is the most important thing for a person." He glanced at Luke, Susan, and Xiao Hei one by one, "It's just a passing cloud to be handsome, capable, and have many women. The real skill is to live healthy and healthy until the age of sixty or seventy.”
Xiao Hei spread his hands, "It's not my fault for being handsome, it's God's arrangement."
The deputy team smiled, "Young man, your comprehension ability is awesome, I'm proud of you."
