Being A Detective in The World of Film and Television

Chapter 304: Trap, narrowing the scope

Views:

Luke seemed to be observing Sharan's body, but in fact he was paying attention to the reactions of everyone present with his peripheral vision.

Unfortunately, everyone had different expressions, but no one seemed to be behaving particularly abnormally.

Luke was not surprised either.

The murderer dared to kill two people in succession after Luke revealed his identity as a detective. His psychological quality is not strong, but too strong.

Who would choose to commit a crime when a detective is present? But this guy dared to do it.

Luke and Selina began to question everyone separately.

Now both of them are using the recorder modified by Luke, so they don’t have to use a small notebook to take notes on the spot.

Half an hour later, Elizabeth and Billy arrived, and Elsa also arrived with her new partner, a young white detective Simmons.

There were so many people present that we wouldn't be able to handle the work if there were fewer people.

This case was also of a very heinous nature. The heroine of the new film by the famous director Pierce was killed in broad daylight and hung on the ceiling in broad daylight. This was definitely a provocation to the police.

This man was still not satisfied and wanted to kill another person. Did the murderer really think that the West District Police Station was easy to mess with

Luke went over, called his colleagues who had arrived to the side, and quickly explained the case.

Elsa frowned: "You handcuffed Mike? Did anyone else see it?"

"No, I handcuffed him in a corner. Unless the person filming the video walks around the pile of debris, they won't be able to see him at all." Luke shook his head.

He knew why Elsa asked this question, because it meant that the murderer's action against Mike was not expected, but a spur-of-the-moment action.

After all, the murderer couldn't have known in advance that Luke was a policeman, let alone where he would handcuff Mike, or even whether he would handcuff Mike.

Elsa's face darkened: "What does he want to say? Is he provoking our West District Police Station?"

This act of killing the suspect that Luke had handcuffed was even more outrageous than killing someone in front of him.

If that Mike had been strangled to death just now, Luke would be in big trouble.

Luke was the one who handcuffed the person there. Mike was just joking, but he died as a result. If the incident gets out, Luke will most likely be demoted and put on ice to avoid the limelight.

Luke is Elsa's trump card now. Without him, her team's efficiency in solving cases will be more than twice as low.

Elsa whispered, "Everyone has to work overtime today. Is that okay with you?"

No one said anything.

The boss wants to work overtime, who dares to slap her in the face in public.

Elsa: "Luke, you are free to act. The others, come with me to investigate these people. If you find any major doubts, tell me."

Everyone nodded, dispersed, divided the crew members into several areas, and began to question them separately.

Luke was not assigned the investigation mission because Elsa knew that he had a method of solving cases that sounded scientific in theory but was very mysterious in practice.

He often finds some suspicious points just by walking around the crime scene a few times.

Of course Elsa wouldn't let him interrogate the crew members, that would be a waste of Luke's abilities.

Everyone reports any suspicious points they find to her, and she will inform Luke after analyzing them.

Luke started walking in the studio.

He walked back and forth, mainly focusing on the circle where Sharon was hung and the circle where Mike was almost strangled.

But he didn't gain much.

This murderer is really cunning.

The things he used were all kinds of sundries in the crew, and they had touched many people, just like the rope that strangled Mike.

After seeing the scene, Luke estimated that the person who hung Sharan to the ceiling was probably not him. He also used a rope and a large box to make a simple but very practical mechanical lasso.

It was similar to the snare set by special forces in movies, except that this rope was not around Sharan's feet, but was directly around her neck.

Sharon is not a tall woman, she is only 1.6 meters tall. According to Jennifer, this is to appear more pitiful in horror movies.

Well, as to why Miss Pochi, who is 1.6 meters tall, has extraordinary features that are not consistent with her height, that is a matter of medical common sense.

Saran was not a strong woman, and the moment the small girl fell into the trap, she was strangled by the neck and hung up.

Luke could even imagine that this woman might have just watched a large group of people not far away, but couldn't make a sound in her throat, and had no way to call for help, and died in despair on the ceiling.

Luke wasn't too disappointed.

The murderer was so bold that his method of committing the crime could not be said to be ingenious, but it was definitely carefully planned.

This is a good thing for the murderer because it is difficult for the police to detect his flaws.

However, the murderer also left some traces.

As the saying goes, "A passing goose leaves traces behind." As long as you take action, you cannot avoid leaving something behind.

For example, Sharan’s death is a very obvious clue.

How can the murderer be sure that Sharon will fall into his trap

This is not a special forces jungle combat. This is the only trap set by the murderer, so he knows that Sharan will definitely fall into the trap.

The activation range of this rope loop mechanism is also very small. As long as Sharan stands 20 to 30 centimeters away, the rope loop will most likely fall.

Luke chuckled: Haha, interesting.

There was no movement from Elsa, which meant that she had not gained anything.

When he walked back to Sharan's body, the forensic personnel were already busy.

Luke asked, and the answer he got was not unexpected.

Sharan was indeed hanged, not strangled and then hung, and these two ways of death can easily cause different strangulation marks. She had no defensive wounds on her body, and there was nothing abnormal under her fingernails.

Obviously, the murderer did not give her a chance to tear it apart.

Perhaps, the murderer just watched her quietly as she stepped into the trap and was then hung up silently.

Cold-blooded, cruel, and precisely planned, this method feels like that of a serial killer.

But in Luke's memory, there are many serial killers who like to strangle people, but there are no ones who like to hang their victims quietly next to a large group of people.

Soon, the forensic doctor put Sharan's body into the car and left the scene.

Before further forensic results came out, it would be impossible for Luke to get any clues from them.

Luke started walking around the studio again.

This time he calmed down and slowly analyzed the smell of the two ropes used to hang Sharon and strangle Mike.

Although this cannot directly find the murderer, it can greatly narrow the scope of the murderer.

After all, there were only less than twenty people's scents remaining on the two ropes recently.

Compared with the crew of nearly fifty people, the field of suspects has been narrowed down by more than half.

And both had scented goals on the ropes, only five.

This is less than one-tenth of the total number of people present, so the scope of suspects is already small enough.
