Of course, there will be no surveillance in this old-fashioned apartment building.
The only security measure in the apartment building is an old lady who looks like a janitor in her sixties.
But Lu Ke felt that this person definitely didn't have the terrifying force of grandma Lucy.
Selena went over and pointed at the old lady's police badge wallet. This kind of wallet has a police badge on one side and a certificate on the other. It is the most commonly used item in plainclothes.
The old grandma's expression was calm, and she wasn't surprised at all. When she heard the two asking for the key to the room where the crime happened, she took one from behind her: "I'll just have this one. Remember to return it when you're done using it."
Selena smiled and said thank you.
The two climbed the stairs to the third floor.
This kind of old-fashioned apartment is so backward that it doesn't even have an elevator.
Walking to room 305 on the third floor, there was a seal on the door. Selina took off the seal and opened the door with the key.
The two entered.
The forensic department has already been here, so the two of them don't need to wear shoe covers, as long as they don't move around.
Looking at the figure drawn by the white line on the ground, Lu Ke said, "Look here, I'll go to the bedroom to take a look."
Selina nodded, and Lu Ke entered the bedroom.
The body was found in the living room, and the bedroom was not like the first scene, so it basically remained the same.
Lu Ke looked at the bedroom, and couldn't help but raise the volume slightly: "Selena."
Selena came over and looked at the situation in the bedroom, feeling a little horrified.
"Have you investigated this type of victim before?" Lu Ke looked at Selena with a delicate expression.
Selena shook her head: "How is it possible. Few people in the small town believe in such supernatural things."
"Can you recognize the origin of these things?" Lu Ke continued to ask.
Selena glanced around and shook her head: "There are only a few things that are a bit like voodoo. The others are not, but they are definitely not serious beliefs."
Lu Ke nodded: "Well, it seems that our victim this time is a witch."
While the two were talking, Lu Ke's cell phone rang. After he connected it, he listened for a while, said "Got it, I'll be there right away", and hung up the phone.
Selena: "What is it?"
Lu Ke: "Let's go, the body of our witch... is gone."
Selena: "hat?"
She went downstairs and returned the keys to the old lady at the gate, and handed the old lady a business card, telling her that if she had any situation or remembered something, she could call the above number, and the two of them went out to get in the car.
Selena asked, "What's going on? How did that witch disappear?"
Lu Ke: "...well, actually, before the forensic doctor wanted to perform an autopsy on her, he wanted to go to the bathroom temporarily, but when he came back after the incident, he found that the body was gone."
Selena: "What about monitoring?"
Lu Ke: "I don't know. We'll have to look it up ourselves. It was Berrick's phone call just now, so let's take over this case by the way. After all, the disappearance of the victim's body may be related to her murder."
Selena was disappointed: "Ah, I thought she was resurrected suddenly, and then teleported away with magic."
Lu Ke: "... If that's the case, I think we might have to hand over the case."
Selena snorted: "Hand over to who? FI?"
Lu Ke's complexion was a little subtle: "No, maybe it's SHIELD."
Selena was surprised: "What game?"
Lu Ke: "Hehe, it's nothing, just concentrate on driving."
When they arrived at the forensic center in Houston, Lu Ke and the two swiped their police officer IDs and went in.
When I arrived at the morgue, I found a forensic doctor named Tom and explained his purpose.
This Tom is a middle-aged white man, but he feels a bit feminine. To say that Kiriki is exaggerated, but it does feel a bit soft.
Even in the face of Lu Ke, two rookie detectives, he didn't show any toughness, but told the process honestly.
In fact, there is nothing to say. The sentence that Lu Ke heard from Berrick just now is almost the same as what Tom said for three minutes.
Going to work in the morning, he drank a cup of coffee before work started, and went to the toilet in a hurry to urinate. When he came back, he found that the corpse on the autopsy table had disappeared.
Lu Ke didn't say a word, but let Selena communicate with Tom Forensic.
The forensic doctor is also a man. It is definitely more pleasant to face a soft-spoken beauty than to be interrogated by a black-faced man.
"What about monitoring?"
Tom: "... something went wrong last night. Someone came to fix it this morning, but it didn't work."
Lu Ke interrupted suddenly: "Who will fix it?"
Tom was stunned for a moment, this was the first time Lu Ke asked a question.
But he still answered honestly: "I don't know, this matter is under the management of the logistics department, you can ask."
Selena stuffed the small notebook in her pocket casually, and said with a smile on her face, "Thank you for your cooperation, Tom Forensic."
Forensic doctor Tom felt his eyes were a little dazzled, as if he was caught by that beautiful smile, but Mumu nodded: "Ah, no... nothing, it should be."
Then I watched this beautiful Hispanic beauty make a goodbye gesture to him, and pushed the door away.
Selena went out, stepped up a few steps, and caught up with Lu Ke: "What do you think?"
Lu Ke: "Ask about the monitoring first, it's a bit of a coincidence. Do you remember the truth that Robert often told us?"
Selena tilted her head: "When solving a case, many coincidences are actually not coincidences?"
Lu Ke nodded: "So, we need to see how the monitoring went wrong."
Selena asked two people, found the logistics department, and explained her purpose.
The person in charge here is a policewoman, and Selina resolutely abdicated and let Lu Ke take over.
The two have long had a tacit understanding.
Generally speaking, when facing men who are not in danger, Selena speaks out, but when facing middle-aged and elderly women, of course it is Lu Ke who makes his face so tender.
Lu Ke still smiled all over his face, explaining his intention.
The policewoman looked at the big boy in front of her. He was fair and healthy, with good facial features and a sunny smile. He was not stunning but could easily make people feel friendly.
After reading the police officer's ID, she reported the name of the company.
Wells-Dalit Electronic Communications Corporation.
This is the name of the company responsible for maintaining the surveillance in this building. Lu Ke borrowed the fixed phone number from the female police station and dialed that number directly.
After he revealed his identity, he asked a few questions, and after waiting for a while, he had a strange expression on his face when he heard the answer from the other side.
After hanging up the phone, he thanked the policewoman again before turning and leaving.
Selena: "What's going on?"
Lu Ke: "The front desk of that company told me that they did not receive a call from the authentication center yesterday, and they did not send maintenance personnel this morning."
Selena: "Huh?"
Lu Ke hehe: "Interesting, let's..."
