Luke was quite sure that no matter how bad Jessica's mental state was now, it would not get worse after receiving treatment.
By the way, he can also test out Kilgrave's original ability and the (partial) version copied by the system to see how different it is.
The reason why Jessica is so easy to talk to now is not because she has a good temper.
This woman has been troubled by mental problems for a long time and is prone to losing control, and when she loses control she is likely to beat people up.
Without the effect of primary pheromone manipulation, even if she didn't attack him, there was an 80% chance that she would turn her back on him and leave. There was no way she would talk to him like she was doing now.
Seeing her expectant look at this moment, Luke chuckled: "I know a little bit about psychology, and I know a lot about Molly's case and treatment."
Hearing the name of Molly, a fellow victim, Jessica couldn't help but ask, "How is she now?"
Luke: "Before Christmas, she had a very effective treatment. She should be able to go home and rest in a while."
Jessica was stunned: "What effective treatment?"
She didn't think there was any cure for being tortured by the altered Kilgrave, the nightmare would inevitably follow the victim for the rest of his life.
Luke switched the lollipop in his mouth. “She saw Kilgrave’s body with her own eyes and vented her emotions. She feels much better now.”
Jessica lost her voice: "What?"
She didn't expect this answer, but immediately asked, "Kilgrave is dead?"
Luke nodded. "He's been dead for more than half a month. His body is in the morgue at the Identification Center. It will be taken to a public cemetery for burial soon."
Jessica couldn't believe it: "How is it possible! How did he die?"
Luke didn't care: "He may be involved in some incidents. Well, have you heard about the recent appearance of the smiling man in New York?"
Jessica was stunned, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly: "I seem to have heard Tracy talk about this person. It seems that he... often wears a smiley mask as a vigilante?"
Luke nodded. "That's about it. Kilgrave was probably involved with a gang that happened to be the target of the Smiley Man, so he died, along with dozens of other gang members."
Jessica's mouth opened wide, and for a moment she didn't know how to digest the news.
Kilgrave, just died like that
That devil-like, lingering, and terrifying monster, just died like that
At this moment, Jessica felt like a little village girl who was bullied by a village bully and could only hide in a corner where the bully couldn't see her and tremble.
As a result, one day, someone suddenly said that the village tyrant was killed by a passing knight.
After a long pause, she grabbed Luke's hand and asked, "Where is Kilgrave's body?"
Luke: "NYPD's forensic center."
Jessica stood up suddenly, jumped lightly, landed on the third floor with a bang, and wanted to run.
Luke turned his head helplessly: "Hey, you haven't finished your snacks, you don't want the wine, you don't want this camera?"
This is a professional camera, which was jokingly called "Photography will make you poor for three generations, and SLR will ruin your life" in the previous life.
A professional lens can easily cost thousands of US dollars, and if you don't spend tens of thousands of US dollars, you can't even be considered an entry-level user. Ordinary people seldom want to play with it this way.
For a private investigator, this is more of a bread and butter.
Without this thing, how can we take highly clear private photos of men and women from a long distance, and how can we make it easier for customers to file for divorce!
Jessica paused and said, "Help me collect it, I'm in a hurry." Then she wanted to continue running.
Luke: "Hey, you're not going to break into the forensic center, are you? There are police guards there."
Jessica: “I’ll figure it out myself.”
Luke looked at her like she was a fool: "I can bring people in, what else do you want to do?"
Jessica finally stopped walking and looked up at him: “You?”
Luke slowly put the lid on the bottle of vodka, put away the snacks, picked up the camera, and jumped lightly.
Jessica subconsciously took two steps towards him, wanting to reach out and pick him up.
They were on the third floor just now.
She has a special body that allows her to leap down, but Luke doesn't have that condition.
As a result, after Luke jumped over the railing, he put his free hand on the third-floor stairs and released it, then stepped on the second-floor railing, and then jumped and released it again, and landed lightly on the street.
Walking over and handing the camera to the stunned Jessica, he asked, "Did you drive?"
Jessica shook her head: "No."
She was very strong and could move very quickly in the alleys and streets, so she didn't even need to drive.
Luke pointed to the alley next to him and said, "My car is over there, let's go."
More than half an hour later, Luke brought Jessica into the forensic center.
There are fewer people at the forensic center at night, but there are also many people working overtime.
As an industry that is always short of manpower, forensic scientists are busier than ordinary detectives.
Detectives always have endless cases to deal with, and forensic scientists also have endless forensic work to do.
There are more and more unsolved cases at the police station, and more and more unexamined evidence at the forensic center.
For ordinary cases, don’t expect to get forensic evidence, because it may take several months or even a year for the report to be issued.
Even in many criminal cases, we try to do as little as possible, or not do anything at all if possible. Otherwise, we will still have to wait for several months before a report is issued.
For major criminal cases, it is standard time to issue a report within a few weeks.
It is difficult to get the report quickly unless you find someone you know to cut in line.
Fortunately, Luke was not here to get the report, he also had acquaintances.
After medical examiner Lanny helped make a phone call, Luke took Jessica to the morgue.
The forensic doctor who led the way was also very busy. He just wrote down Luke's name and the department he belonged to and left.
If you have connections, you can be so casual.
It doesn’t matter, the other party won’t let them come to the morgue at all.
Of course, Luke will owe forensic doctor Lanny a small favor this time.
Luke waited until the medical examiner left before he said to Jessica, "Before we see his body, there are some things we need to discuss first."
Jessica nodded silently.
"First, you are not allowed to damage the property here, especially the freezer and professional equipment. You can't afford the compensation, nor can you bear the trouble caused," he said.
Jessica was stunned: "Huh?"
Luke: "If you break that freezer, the dozens of bodies inside might get damaged. Repairing it would cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. Do you have that much money?"
Jessica: …
She really doesn't have that much money, or rather, she has no money at all.
"Second, don't beat Kilgrave's body into a meat patty. If you do that, the medical examiner and I won't be able to explain ourselves, and you'll have to go to jail," Luke continued.
Jessica hesitated. She wasn't really sure she could hold it back.
