Of course, there will be no surveillance in such old-fashioned apartment buildings.

The only security measure in the apartment building is an old lady who is about 60 years old, and she looks quite energetic.

But Lu Ke felt that this one definitely did not have the terrifying force of Grandma Lucy.

Selena went over and looked at the old lady with a police badge wallet, which was the most commonly used prop in plainclothes because it had a police badge on one side and a document on the other.

The old grandmother's face was calm, not surprised at all, and when she heard the two of them ask for the key to the room where the crime occurred, she casually took one from behind her: "I'll have this one, remember to return it when I'm done." ”

Selena smiled and said thank you.

The two climbed the third floor of the stairs.

This kind of old-fashioned apartment, backward without even an elevator.

Walking to room 305 on the third floor, there was a seal on the door, Selena took it and opened the door with the key.

The two entered the door.

The forensic department has already been here, so they don't need to wear shoe covers or anything like that, as long as they don't move around.

Looking at the human figure drawn by the white line on the ground, Lu Ke said, "Look here, I'll go to the bedroom to take a look." ”

Selena nodded, and Lu Ke entered the bedroom.

The body was found in the living room, and the bedroom was not the same as the first scene, so it was largely untouched.

Lu Ke looked at the bedroom, and couldn't help but raise his voice slightly: "Selena." ”

Selena walked over and looked at the situation in the bedroom, also a little frightened.

"Have you ever checked this type of victim before?" Lu Ke's face was subtle and looked at Selena.

Selena shook her head: "How is it possible." Not many people in the town believe in this kind of Shinto thing. ”

"Can you recognize the origin of these things?" Lu Ke continued to ask.

Selena glanced around and shook her head, "Just a few things that look a bit like voodoo, and everything else is nothing, but it's certainly not a serious faith." ”

Lu Ke nodded: "Okay, it seems that our victim this time is a witch." ”

While the two were talking, Lu Ke's mobile phone rang, he listened for a moment after connecting, said "I know, go over immediately", and hung up the phone.

Selena: "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Ke: "Let's go, the corpse of our witch...... It's gone. ”

Selena: "What? ”

She went downstairs and returned the key to the old lady who was guarding the door, and handed the old lady a business card, telling her that if there was a situation or remembered something, she could call the phone above, 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, in fact, the medical examiner wanted to go to the toilet temporarily before giving her an autopsy, but when he came back after the autopsy, he found that the body was gone. ”

Selena: "What about surveillance?" ”

Lu Ke: "I don't know. We'll have to see for ourselves. It was Berrick's phone call just now, so let's take the case by the way. After all, the disappearance of the victim's body is likely related to her murder. ”

Selena was disappointed: "Ah, I thought she suddenly came back to life and then teleported away with magic." ”

Lu Ke: "...... In that case, I think we might have to hand the case out. ”

Selena sighed: "To whom?" FBI？ ”

Lu Ke's face was a little subtle: "No, maybe it's S.H.I.E.L.D." ”

Selena wondered: "What game?" ”

Lu Ke: "Hehe, it's nothing, concentrate on driving." ”

rushed to the forensic center in Houston, and Lu Ke and the two swiped their police cards to enter.

When I arrived at the morgue, I found a forensic doctor named Tom and explained what he meant.

This Tom is a middle-aged white man, but he feels a little feminine, and it is exaggerated to say that Kiriki is angry, but it does feel a little soft.

Even in the face of Lu Ke, the two police detectives who were rookies at first glance, he didn't show any toughness, but honestly told the process again.

In fact, there is nothing to say, the sentence that Lu Ke heard from Beric just now is almost the same as what Tom said for three minutes.

When he went to work in the morning, he drank a cup of coffee before starting work, went to the toilet urgently, and came back to find that the body on the autopsy table was missing.

Lu Ke didn't say anything, but still let Selena communicate with Tom Forensics.

The forensic doctor is also a man, and it is certainly more pleasant to face a soft-spoken beauty than to face a black-faced man for interrogation.

"What about surveillance?"

Tom: "...... It had a problem last night, and someone came to fix it this morning, but it didn't work. ”

Lu Ke suddenly interjected: "Who will fix it?" ”

Tom was stunned, this was the first time Lu Ke had asked.

But he still replied honestly: "I don't know, this matter is under the management of the logistics department, you can go and ask." ”

Selena casually stuffed the small notebook in her hand into her pocket, and said with a smile on her face: "Thank you for your cooperation, Dr. Tom." ”

Dr. Tom felt that his eyes were a little flowery, as if he was flashed by that beautiful smile, but Mu Mu nodded: "Ah, no...... Nothing, as it should be. ”

Then he watched as the Latina beauty made a goodbye gesture to him and pushed the door away.

Selena went out, sped up a few steps, and caught up with Lu Ke: "What do you think?" ”

Lu Ke: "Let's ask about the monitoring first, it's a bit of a coincidence." Do you remember what Robert often told us? ”

Selena tilted her head: "When solving the case, many coincidences are actually not coincidences? ”

Lu Ke nodded: "So, we have to see how the monitoring went wrong." ”

Selena asked two people, found the logistics department, and explained the purpose.

There is a policewoman in charge here, and Selena decisively gave way and let Lu Ke take over.

The two have a tacit understanding.

Generally speaking, in the face of men who are not in danger, Selena will come forward to speak, and in the face of middle-aged and elderly women, of course, it is Lu Ke who comes out, who made his face really tender.

Lu Ke was still smiling, explaining his intentions.

The policewoman looked at the big boy in front of her, he was white and healthy, with good facial features, and a sunny smile, not stunning but easy to make people feel intimate.

After reading the police officer's card, she gave the name of the company.

Wells-Dalit Electronic Communications.

This is the name of the company responsible for maintaining the monitoring in this building, and Lu Ke borrowed the landline of the Lower Women's Police Department and dialed that number directly.

After identifying himself, he asked a few questions, waited for a while, and listened to the answer from there, with a strange expression.

After hanging up the phone, he thanked the policewoman again before turning to leave.

Selena: "What's going on?" ”

Lu Ke: "The front desk of that company told me that they didn't receive a call from the forensic center yesterday, and they didn't send maintenance personnel this morning. ”

Selena: "Huh? ”

Lu Kehe: "Interesting, let's ......"
