Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 116 scene

  Luke entered the scene of the crime, surrounded by a lot of photographic equipment, and a temporary wooden house on the east side.

   There is a large pit in the middle, and a male body is half buried in the bottom of the pit. His face is pale, and dark red blood can be seen faintly on the neck.

   "Marcus, go get the informant." Luke took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the big pit and the surrounding scene.

   Soon, a white man was brought over, and Luke sized him up, "What's your name?"

   "I am Klapo Hino, the assistant director of this film, and I am also the reporter."

   "How did you find this dead body?"

   "Whew..." Klapo Shino sighed, "I came to inspect the studio in the morning to check the props for today's shooting, and found that the big hole used for shooting was filled, so I asked someone to dig out the big hole.

  Who knew... a body was dug up. I was standing on the edge at that time, and I was almost scared to death. "

   "Do you know anyone in the pit?"

   "Yes, Lucas Soest, the lead actor of this movie, he just filmed the scene of being buried alive last night, unexpectedly...

   It's really hard to believe that this movie screwed up and we're screwed. "

  Luke pointed to the wooden house beside him, "What is that house used for?"

  Krapo Shino replied, "The shooting background will also be used as a temporary dressing room for the actors."

  Luke walked into the wooden house to check, wooden tables, wooden chairs, wooden beds, all made of uncut logs.

   It's a bit similar to the log cabin in the wilderness that Luke has seen.

   Only a few tin boxes belong to modern crafts.

   "Luke, I found something here." Xiao Hei's voice sounded outside.

   Luke walked over, "What's wrong?"

  Xiao Hei pointed to the corner of the big pit.

  Luke took a closer look, and there was a shiny thing at the calf of the dead body, half buried in the soil, like a lady's bracelet.

   Luke took a few photos, put on his gloves, and got down on the ground to pick up the bracelet from the pit.

  A beautiful diamond bracelet for women.

   "Wow, this shiny thing doesn't look cheap." Xiao Hei exclaimed.

  Luke took a closer look, it should be some broken diamonds inlaid on the silver or platinum chain.

  These broken diamonds are not worth much, but they were hyped up by diamond dealers. As for the brand and production premium, he is not clear, and he is not very good at women's jewelry.

  Luke showed the assistant director a diamond bracelet, "Do you know whose bracelet this is?"

  Assistant director Klapo Shino's eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a while, "I'm not sure."

   “Lying to the police is not a good habit.”

   "I really don't know."

  Luke took out a pen and a notepad the size of a cigarette case, and wrote down the name of Klapo Shino.

  Krapo Shino glanced at it and panicked, "Why? Why did you write my name?"

   "You know why." Although Luke knew that the other party might not be telling the truth, he had no proof.

  Krapo Shino opened his mouth, but said nothing after all.

  Subsequently, the investigation team and the forensic doctor came to the scene.

  The survey team first checked the surrounding scene, took photos, and then assisted the forensic doctor to get the body out of the pit.

  Luke could also see the corpse more clearly.

  The buried body of the man has been stained with blood, with scars on his forehead and left cheek, his hands are tied, and a dagger is stuck behind his neck, which looks like a fatal wound.

  Xiao Hei also came over and took a look, "Why does he have scars on his forehead and left cheek, but there is no scar on his right cheek."

  Luke took advantage of the analysis, "The deceased should have tried to resist before being buried in the big pit, but his hands were tied and he couldn't form an effective resistance.

  I personally feel that he probably used his teeth as an offensive weapon, and his forehead and left cheek were defensive injuries. "

  Luke made a test and asked Xiao Hei to bite himself with his hands behind his back. Luke blocked it with his left hand, and Xiao Hei bit his left arm sideways.

  He used the pen as a dagger, first instinctively hit his forehead and left cheek with the tail of the dagger, and finally inserted the tip of the dagger into the back of the neck.

  Luke reversed the crime process based on the wounds of the deceased.

   can also become a simulated incident.

  Of course, this process cannot be completely accurate, but it can roughly infer the behavior of the murderer and the victim.

  Xiao Hei said, "If your guess is correct, the deceased bit the murderer before he was alive, then the murderer's DNA may be collected from his mouth."

   Luke added, "According to this speculation, the deceased may have also left tooth marks on the murderer.

  Of course, there is also a possibility that the deceased did not resist, but just knelt there, was beaten, and then stabbed to death, so it is difficult to leave valid evidence. "

   While the two were talking, Susan brought someone over and asked, "Did you find anything?"

   "Yes." Luke briefly talked about the situation at the scene and his own analysis.

   Finally added, "We also found a diamond bracelet in the pit."

  Susan picked it up and looked at it, "This brand is not cheap, do you know whose it is?"

   "It's not clear yet, and we are preparing to investigate."

"What are you waiting for?"

  Luke looked at Klapo Shino at the side, "Associate director, help gather people together, I want to ask one by one, so many people at the scene should always know."

  The assistant director frowned, "If this is likely to cause confusion in the crew, I don't think it's a good idea."

  Luke shrugged, "That's not something I want to consider, my purpose is to find the owner of the bracelet."

   "OK, let me tell you, Courtney Bass, I've seen her wear this diamond bracelet."

   "Is she also on the set?"

   "Yes, she is the heroine of this movie."

   "What's the name of the movie?"

   "The Gone Lover."

  Luke pointed to the dagger on the neck of the deceased again, "Do you know that dagger?"

   "Yes." The assistant director sighed softly, "If I read correctly, it should be a shooting prop for the crew."

   Luke thought about something, and asked, "I remember you said before, last night, Lucas shot a similar scene, and I want to see what was shot."

   "I can't be the master of this, should I ask the producer and director for instructions?"

   "Waiting for your good news." After Luke finished speaking, he asked the assistant director to leave.

  He took Xiao Hei to find the movie heroine Courtney Bass.

   On the way, Xiao Hei kept fiddling with his phone and said, "Luke, I checked this movie.

  The male protagonist Lucas, the female protagonist Courtney, um...the female protagonist is quite hot.

I like. "

   Luke laughed, "Is there a girl you don't like?"

   "I like it, and so do the dead."

"What's the meaning?"

   "On the Internet, it is said that these two people got together because of drama. This is why I like the entertainment industry, hehe." Xiao Heijian laughed.

  Luke shook his head, "You chose the wrong profession."

   Soon, the two found the heroine Courtney Bass.

  Courtney Bass looks a bit like a South American mixed race, with a plump figure, which is Xiao Hei's favorite type.

  Xiao Hei's eyeballs are always aiming at her.

   "Are you Miss Courtney Bass?"

"it's me."

   "I'm Inspector Luke, can I have a chat with you?"

  Courtney Bass asked, "Is Lucas really dead?"

   "I heard that you two have a good relationship, haven't you gone to see it?"

  “When I arrived, the police had already imposed martial law, so I couldn’t get through it. I even bought it. It’s really scary. I didn’t expect the movie to come true.”

   "You also participated in the movie shooting last night?"

"Yes."

   "How is Lucas' condition, is there anything unusual?"

  "It's very good. He is very devoted to filming and his acting skills are also great. He has been highly praised by the director."

  Xiao Hei asked, "Miss Courtney Bass, I am Detective Marcus.

   I read online that you and Lucas are dating, is it true? "

   "No, that's all nonsense on the Internet. We are just ordinary colleagues. Moreover, Lucas is married. Those rumors not only hurt us, but also hurt her wife."

   Luke pulls out a photo of a diamond bracelet, "Is this bracelet yours?"

  Courtney Bass took it over and took a look, "Yes, I lost it yesterday, where did you find it?"

   "On Lucas."

   Courtney Bass shuddered when she heard this, and threw the photo on the ground.

  Luke has been observing her, and it seems that her reaction is quite normal, as if she just learned the news.

   But thinking about her career, it is not ruled out that she is good at acting.

   "Is what you said true?" Courtney Buss looked in disbelief.

   "I never lie."

   "Why is my bracelet on him?"

   "This is what I want to ask you too. Please recall carefully, when and where did you lose the bracelet?"

  Courtney Bass recalled for a moment, "I haven't seen it since filming yesterday. Maybe it was left in a corner. By the way, I did my makeup in the cabin, so maybe it was left there."

   "How much is this bracelet worth?"

   "Twenty thousand dollars."

  Luke asked, "Why didn't the murderer take away such an expensive bracelet, but chose to bury it in the soil with Lucas?"

   "I don't know." After Courtney Bass finished speaking, she reacted, "You don't doubt me, do you?"

   "You don't need to think too much, I'm just making a routine inquiry to get more clues." After Luke finished speaking, he looked at Courtney Buss carefully, "Have you been injured recently?"

  Courtney Bass shook her head, "No, can you give me back the bracelet?"

   "Not for now, it's evidence now."

  Courtney Bass' complexion changed slightly, "You don't doubt me anymore, do you?

  Lucas and I really have nothing to do, I admit we had some affair, but it was just for the hype to get the movie out.

  I have absolutely nothing to do with him. "

   "How long have you been filming together?"

   "4 months."

   "The time is not short, you should have a certain understanding, has Lucas encountered any trouble recently? Or some accident?"

  Courtney Bass thought for a while, "There is something I don't know whether I should say.

  Actually, this movie didn’t have to take so long, but because Lucas was injured, the shooting progress was delayed. "

   "When and how did he get hurt?"

   "He was hit by a car, and the situation was critical. If he was injured more severely, he might not be able to shoot. The crew must change.

I am innocent.

   Instead of doubting me, you should check this matter. "
