Being A Detective in The World of Film and Television

Chapter 286: Strange female corpse, second attack case (1 more)

Views:

Elizabeth's voice came: "Luke, the dead woman on the bench in Weaver Community... is a little strange."

Luke: “What’s the problem?”

Elizabeth: "Remember the case where the new resident of Weaver Community called the police to report a haunted house?"

Luke: “Any connection?”

Elizabeth: "If I'm not mistaken, the woman on the bench... seems to be the mother of the missing little girl."

Luke was stunned: "The one who died of myocardial infarction?"

Elizabeth: "Yes. Now we are asking the forensics department to take her fingerprints and DNA, as well as her dental records."

Luke rubbed his chin and said, "Then you guys keep an eye on it first, and let me know if you have any further news."

Hang up the phone, Selena: "What's wrong?"

Luke patted her head: "You, it feels like you missed out on a billion."

Selina shook her head in dissatisfaction, rejecting his attitude of stroking her head with a smile: "Just say it, don't do anything."

Luke: "The female corpse that Elizabeth and the others found on the bench looks very much like the mother who died of illness in my case."

Selina thought about it and widened her eyes: "You mean, the mother who died a year ago?"

Luke hummed, "Now, which case should we investigate first?"

Selina hesitated, and actually rejected his temptation: "I will follow Jennifer's case first, and learn about your case by the way."

Luke was speechless: It’s true that neither side will let go!

Yes, that was Jennifer Perry! A top Hollywood actress and a world-class star, not comparable to the second-rate or third-rate Katie.

Jennifer's fall at the party was more eye-catching than Katie's naked death in the swimming pool.

He also let Selina do what she wanted and didn't look at his case files again.

He couldn't figure out much before there was any new information, and he had to wait until the identity of the female corpse was confirmed before he could do anything.

Returning his attention to Jennifer's case, he looked at the file for a moment and laughed, "Could this big star's home be in the deserted wilderness of Texas? A maid was lying in the living room, bleeding all over the floor, and was not discovered until hours later. Could her family's security be at the same level as Shelev's? It must be difficult for her to survive until now." (Note: Shelev is the security guard of the little star Katie who died in Guo)

Selina nodded. "The security guards said that they don't have permission to enter the house at night unless it's an emergency, so you understand."

Luke: "What I mean is that the room is actually a secret room. Except for the people inside, no one outside knows what happened inside, right?"

Selina: "Yes, and the only people in the villa that night were the three seriously injured maids, Milis, another maid, Manny, and our big star Jennifer."

Luke laughed. "That's great. We can have a 50% chance of guessing the murderer just by pointing randomly? Uh, okay, I take that back."

Looking at the close-up photo of the seriously injured maid's head in his hand and the preliminary injury diagnosis sent by the hospital, he changed his mind a little.

Turning back, he read some basic information and then looked at the photos of the scene. He simulated it in his mind for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Didn't find the murder weapon?"

Selina didn't even raise her head: "No, there is no matching object found in the house yet."

"Jennifer and Manny, they don't seem very strong, do they?" Luke asked.

Selina nodded and shook her head: "Jennifer's body is very ordinary, at most healthy? Manny doesn't have detailed information for the time being, so we have to confirm it with our own eyes."

"If Manny isn't a professional, it wouldn't be easy for her to knock Millis's skull like this." Luke narrowed his eyes and threw the file back: "Let's go, let's go to the big star's house and take a look."

Selina was surprised: "We're going out now?"

But she came to her senses immediately, quickly packed up the files, and put them into her bag: "Okay, let's go."

Selina was always more naive. Seeing Luke's expression, she remembered why she had to listen to Elsa and stay in the bureau.

Bullseye was beaten and ran away last night. Do they need to care about this problem of Bullseye

At least when she was with Luke, she didn't need him.

The two drove out and headed straight to Jennifer Perry's address in Beverly Hills.

Arriving at the doorstep of this truly famous star's home, Selina's eyes lit up as she looked at the luxurious mansion inside. "Luke, do you think there might be something... er, well, just pretend I didn't ask."

Looking at the big villa in front of her, she remembered the old housekeeper with an authentic London accent and her fantasy of dozens or hundreds of maids.

But the testimony she had just read indicated that there were only two permanent maids in this mansion, and the rest were hourly workers who would leave after completing the cleaning and tidying work every day.

Luke pressed the video access control system on the door: "LAPD, West District Police Station Major Crime Squad. I'm Detective Luke, this is Detective Selina, we're here for the case where Millis was seriously injured last night."

As he spoke, he opened his police badge wallet and held it in front of the visual screen so that the other party could see the badge and ID clearly. Selena did the same.

After a while, a voice came from the access control system: "Please wait a moment, both of you." Then there was no movement.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Selina finally couldn't help it and tilted her head in surprise: "What do they mean by this?"

Luke chuckled: "The first time I went to Katie's house with Elsa, we also waited for a long time, and then the maid ran out screaming and told us that Katie was dead."

Selina burst out laughing: "How can it be such a coincidence..."

The iron gate suddenly opened, and the male voice came from inside. His voice became very nervous now: "Two detectives, please come in quickly. Manny has been attacked."

Selena: ⊙o⊙!

Luke: ⊙_⊙!

After the two entered the big villa, there was a commotion inside.

Luke's face was gloomy and Selina was dumbfounded.

Luke shouted, "Lapd! Stop right there."

Everyone was stunned and looked at the two of them.

Luke said coldly, "Ms. Jennifer Perry, you stay here. The first person who found the injured person stays here. Everyone else, stay out. Don't talk casually or make phone calls. Do you understand?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment, a beautiful woman with long brown hair raised her hand and waved, "Listen to this... detective."

Luke then looked at her: "Ms. Perry, have you called an ambulance?"

Jennifer: “Already called.”

Luke nodded and winked at Selina.

She immediately understood, silently walked to the window, quietly took out a Luke brand mobile phone, activated the radio function, and aimed it at the four security guards gathered at the porch.

Luke caught a glimpse of Selina's movements, withdrew his attention and looked at the beauty in front of him.
