085 Beverly Hills Detective 2(1/2)
"Miss Foster, have you received any followers from aficionados recently?"
In the luxurious suite of a nearby hotel, Kate asked the victim, Judy Foster.
——After something like that, it was naturally impossible for the actress to stay in that house. Under the arrangement of her agent, she and her living assistant Anna moved to a nearby high-end hotel to sponsor.
There were four tall and big bodyguards who accompanied them together.
"If that stalker dares to show up again, without the police, we will tear him into pieces!"
The words of bodyguard leader Anderson sound convincing - if he didn't ask her to sign with a still from Judy in "Taxi Driver" at the same time.
——Well, because I was threatened by unknown fanatical fans, I need to hire another fanatical fan to protect myself...
Judy always felt that something was wrong.
But facing the FBI agent lady in front of her, her answer was still very appropriate.
"Although I have some fans who are really enthusiastic, I don't think they will do this."
“Just passion?”
Kate frowned,
"Then please give your "passionate"-"
She used her hands to compare quotes in her ears.
“—Is the fan list provided to me?”
"this……"
Judy hesitated for a moment, then sighed tiredly:
"Anna!"
"Give!"
Anna, the assistant next to her, hurriedly handed Kate a stack of letters tied together.
"This is all kinds of unusual fan letters Judy has received in the past year."
"so much!?"
Kate was shocked, but reached out to take the letter.
"Anyway, we will investigate it!"
The good news is that with these letters, the FBI has many optional investigation directions;
The bad news is that there are too many letters and too many optional investigation directions. There may be no appropriate clues from this aspect in a short period of time;
Regardless, Kate's problem continues-
"Speaking of it, Judy, why were you and Anna alone living in your home last night?"
——Generally speaking, don’t such big brands bring bodyguards anytime and anywhere?
Kate thought about this question, and the answer to her was Anna:
"Judy's bodyguard Michelle, Michelle Langton, took a few days off due to family factors two days ago. I have been with Judy for this period."
"is that so?"
Kate nodded without comment and then asked,
"Where is that Mr. Langton now? I think he might get a clearer answer to some questions about Judy's security."
"We haven't contacted him yet."
Judy interrupted, her voice still looked very tired.
Kate recalled that it seemed that she had not had a good rest until now. It was really normal for her to be what she was now.
“Didn’t contact me?”
Kate couldn't help but "cut",
"Let's talk about it later! Can you tell me first about the heart that you two discovered first?"
"heart!?"
Assistant Anna's face turned green all of a sudden.
"So, that's really human heart?"
“Sadly, yes.”
As soon as Kate finished speaking, Anna suddenly softened. This scared Kate. She hurriedly helped Anna, who was scared to death, to the bed with Judy Foster.
"Now, even if I don't say it, you should have guessed who discovered the heart first?"
Judy, who was beside her, blinked at Kate.
"Forehead……"
Kate was also a little stunned when faced with this situation.
Is it true that Miss Anna is too timid? It seems that this is the reaction that ordinary girls should have when facing a bloody heart.
But she is normal? What is she accustomed to similar scenes?
Wonder Woman?
Kate roared inside, but didn't know whether to complain about himself or someone else.
"After discovering that heart, you ran out of the house quickly?"
In desperation, Kate had to continue asking questions.
"Yes."
Judy nodded,
“In that case, the more people you are with, the safer it is, isn’t it?”
"A wise decision!"
Kate praised Judy's reaction speed. But he was thinking about something inside—
Is this a murder case directed and self-acted?
This is actually the first thing the police must determine when investigating the case.
Unlike the detective novels that rely entirely on reasoning, in reality, because the evidence link is required to be solid, police with a large amount of resources often use the exclusion method to investigate.
And to eliminate it, it is naturally easy to start and then difficult to eliminate the suspicion. The first thing to do is to report the case is the person who reported the case.
Especially in the current situation of similar secret rooms—
After inquiring about the reporters around, Kate has made preliminary confirmation that no one else had entered and exited Judy Foster's house last night.
In particular, the forensic staff did not find any traces of other people's recent entry and exit at Judy's home, whether it was footprints or fingerprints.
In this way, the possibility of getting rid of suspicion through performance after the reporter who was originally in the house commits the crime himself is greatly increased.
Therefore, before assuming that the murderer has sufficient caution and anti-reconnaissance ability, Kate needs to rule out the possibility of such self-direction and self-acting.
This is the police's actual case handling principle. Although it may not be humane, it is reasonable to use human resources from the perspective of maximum efficiency.
It’s easy first and then difficult!
However, in Judy and Anna's answer just now, Kate found no loopholes.
Is it really that I am suspicious?
Kate thought about it, she decided to ask again,
"So, Judy, can you tell me what you were doing last night before you discovered that heart?"
"……sorry!"
Judy's face suddenly changed.
"I need to wait until my lawyer arrives to answer your questions later."
——Oh, shocked!
Kate suddenly realized what mistake he had made.
——Judy Foster is not a fool star who has no idea about the FBI case handling process.
On the contrary, because of the Hinckley incident that year, she was interrogated by the FBI and the Presidential Secret Service for a long time and knew the police's speech system very well.
What's more, in "The Silence of the Lambs", she plays an FBI agent herself and will definitely be able to study the FBI's case handling methods.
In this case, because of the Hinckley incident, she has a psychological shadow on the FBI. Once she hears the suspicious meaning of her words, how could she cooperate with her investigation?
Be careless!
Kate couldn't help but feel a little upset.
"Agent Kate, can you please leave first? I haven't had a rest since the incident..."
Although the other party had not said everything, the meaning of giving the order to expel guests was already very obvious, so Kate had to say goodbye tactfully.
To be continued...
