Luke found Elsa and whispered something to her.
After listening to Elsa, she adjusted the task again and handed over a large amount of census work to three newcomers. She partnered with Selena and began to re-investigate the five most suspected candidates.
Luke stood quietly behind them, not participating in the questioning, but observing the expressions and reactions of these people.
After the last person came in, all three greeted him: "Hello, Toth."
This is the No. 2 character of the crew, Todt Weiss.
He is the screenwriter of the film and the first assistant director of the crew.
Apart from Pierce, the absolute first brother of the crew, he is the most powerful person in the crew.
Producer? Sorry, Director Pierce is also the producer of this film.
After a few minutes of questioning, Toth got up and went out.
Elsa waited for a moment before turning to look at Luke: "Have you noticed?"
Luke walked up to the two of them: "A little bit. But let me talk about your findings first, so as not to make you preconceived by what I said."
The murderer's conviction still depends on the evidence. He can probably pinpoint who the murderer is, but he can't use it as evidence to close the case.
Selena thought for a while and said: "I just recalled that the prop master and his two assistants were basically out of my sight when shooting."
Elsa pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "Luke said that the murderer used a mechanism to kill Shalan, and he may not need to be present. Maybe the murderer had such thoughts before he did it. Because you and Luke are the best Alibi."
Luke nodded inwardly.
No one knows why Shalan stepped into that trap, so it is impossible to determine the murderer, because Shalan's trap and the murderer's trap are most likely not in the same time period.
Elsa: "Even if the person who has never left the sight of the two of you is at most less suspicious, the trap may have been set up before you arrived."
Both Selena and Luke nodded.
In this way, the chance of the trap being discovered by others is much higher, but it is even more difficult to trace.
Elsa looked at Luke: "Now can you talk about your discovery?"
Luke: "Thoth is the most suspected."
Both Elsa and Selena were stunned, and then Elsa wondered, "Why him?"
This is the screenwriter and assistant director, who has been with Pierce almost all the time, and more people pay attention to him.
Luke had already found a reason, spread his hands and said, "Because it's hard for him to have time to commit crimes."
Elsa turned her head and understood: "That's why he uses traps to kill people, because he can't stay out of everyone's sight for too long?"
Luke nodded and added: "Secondly, he is the screenwriter and assistant director. He is one of the few people in this crew who can easily control the trajectory of Shalan's actions."
Both Elsa and Selena understood.
Although Sharon is only a third-rate actor, the only ones who can hold her back in this crew are Pierce and Todt.
Who made this a low-budget horror movie! She is the biggest star in the film.
Of course, Pierce has the upper hand at this point.
Even if he told Sha Lan to take off her clothes and stand on the trap, Sha Lan would obey obediently.
But Pierce had no such motive. His every move was always watched, and his smell was not on the two ropes.
Luke's keen sense of smell is similar to big data collection.
As long as you list several locations and the smells on the tools of the crime, and compare the intersection points, it will be difficult to conceal the identity of the murderer in the end.
It is true that no one has been to the circle where Shalan died today, but there is still a bit of the smell left by Toth yesterday, and it is still with Shalan.
It can only be confirmed by other people who can only see it with their own eyes.
And while filming is going on, most people don't notice the presence of other people at all.
If Luke hadn't been pulled here by Jennifer today, Todt might have gotten away with it.
"If it's Toth, what's his motive?" Selina wondered, "He's the screenwriter and assistant director. What good does it do him if this movie makes such a big negative news?"
In this regard, neither Elsa nor Luke can give an answer, and there are too many possibilities.
Elsa didn't think much about this question, and made a decision directly: "I asked Billy and Simmons to continue to investigate and attract everyone's attention. The others are all focused on investigating Todt, and I don't believe that he can't find his loopholes."
In this regard, Luke and the two of course have no objection.
The three female detectives, it would be great if the crew members in the set were to come. Facing the less aggressive female detectives, the communication between the two parties would be easier.
After all, they are not the main object of suspicion, and being too nervous is not good for clichés.
Another cross-examination. Both the detective and the crew looked exhausted, but no one complained.
Once this incident happened, it was still unknown whether the crew could continue to exist.
A bunch of people in the production team still rely on this film for food, and the police detectives also want to solve the case as soon as possible to avoid bad influence.
An hour later, Elsa came back with the other two girls, and got together with Luke: "Thoth has a problem."
Luke said nothing, waiting for the follow-up.
Elsa didn't say a word. She took the mineral water handed by Elizabeth, drank it, and beckoned her to tell the story.
Elizabeth handed everyone the mineral water, and said, "Although not everyone, but based on our inquiries, the relationship between Todt and Sharon is pretty good, and she was recommended by Todt as the heroine."
Luke remained silent and continued to listen.
"However, in the past few days, it is said that Pierce is not satisfied with Shalan's acting skills, and there is a vague intention to replace her." She said.
Luke was puzzled: "It's all started to shoot. If you change people, won't you lose a lot of money?"
Elizabeth: "I have to lose a little bit, but this is just a small-budget horror film, and the filming has only been started for a week. And because Pierce is not satisfied with Sharon's acting skills, the filming progress is less than one-tenth of the progress. If the replacement overthrows Reshoots, that's much less expensive than what's being consumed so far."
Luke nodded in understanding.
If the acting skills are online and Pierce is satisfied, it is very likely that the time saved in the later stage will not be a week, but a month or even a few months, which will save a little more money.
Elizabeth: "The relationship between Todt and Sharon is more than that. It is said that the two have a bit of that kind of relationship."
Selena looked at Elizabeth's expression, and interjected: "It's just an unspoken rule, there's nothing unusual about it. But this is just what we inferred from the words of the staff, and no one has addressed this issue directly." After adding this point, She motioned for Elizabeth to continue.
Elizabeth smiled awkwardly. She was a little embarrassed to say this kind of thing. She was only 22 years old, she had just graduated from university not long ago, and she had only been working as a police detective for more than two months. She was far from facing all kinds of weird realities. A calm mind.
