Chapter 400 visits, discovering the scene of the first crime (2 more)
On-site investigation can determine whether the current brought Wendy's body over, or if it was directly dumped.
If the body is thrown by man, whether it is thrown on the beach and swept into the sea, or whether it is directly thrown into the sea by boat, these will make the direction of the investigation different.
The two arrived at the Yellow Belt, where the female corpse was fished up.
Taking out the photos of the scene on the file, the two looked at the sea where the woman's body was found, and Luke said, "The water is coming from that side." He pointed to the other side.
The two of them advanced a few hundred meters on the beach, crossed a small raised slope, looked to the other side, and were speechless.
On the other side of the slope, a series of villas of all kinds are located by the sea a few hundred meters away.
Selena pulled up the map and looked at it, and explained, "It's a villa area, and there are at least forty or fifty households. ”
Luke put his hand on his forehead: "That is, we have to check the past one by one?" ”
Selena looked at the map and suddenly said, "I think, why don't you find a special seafood restaurant for lunch?" ”
Luke: "Huh? "It's only past 10 o'clock in the morning, and it's still early for lunch.
Selena zoomed in on the map on the tablet and stretched it out in front of him, "Look what's here." ”
Luke looked around, but it was the beach they had come from, and there were several restaurants.
Luke raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure they have specialty seafood?" ”
Selena: "Maybe there's a big lobster." ”
Luke laughed, "Let's go, if anything, we'll have lunch." ”
The two got back into the car, drove back a kilometer or two, slowed down and looked at the restaurant on the side of the road.
Among the several restaurants that are not of low grade, one was quickly identified - Greer.
Selena smiled, "How's it going?" ”
Luke nodded, "This is it." ”
A small sign outside Greer's restaurant reads: Today's special seafood - Boston lobster.
In fact, this lobster is a Maine lobster, which is not produced in Boston, but from Canada to North America.
"Boston lobster, it's perfect for blanching and cheese baking." He said.
Selena's saliva secreted at once: "Ah, let's not talk about this topic yet, we are here to investigate the case." ”
Luke didn't torture a foodie either, and the two went in and found a hostess.
After showing the police badge, he showed her the photo of the female corpse before her death: "Have you seen this lady?" ”
The hostess looked at it twice and smiled, "Of course, Ms. Wendy will come here once a week or two." ”
Luke: "She's alone? ”
The hostess paused, but looked at Luke's smiling face, and replied, "No, it's Mr. Sveck, a gentleman with a lot of grace." ”
Lukeselena glanced at each other: "Every time it's the two of them together?" ”
Hostess: "Pretty much, but Mr. Swick occasionally comes to dine alone." ”
Luke thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember the night before yesterday, when these two came here for dinner?" ”
The hostess nodded: "Remember, they are sitting at my table." ”
Luke: "Is there anything unusual about them?" Like quarrels and stuff like that. ”
The hostess shook her head: "No, they have always had a good relationship, at least that's what I saw." ”
Luke snorted, "Then after eating, they left together?" ”
The hostess shook her head: "No, Miss Wendy left our boat alone." Mr. Swick drove his own car. However, after Ms. Wendy left, she still did not return our boat. ”
Luke and the two couldn't help but look at each other again: "What ship?" ”
The hostess pointed to the small pier by the sea: "It is the boat we provide for guests to go to the beach temporarily." ”
The two of them looked there and saw that it was a small white boat with a green edge, similar to the kind that ordinary anglers sit on, usually only two or three people.
He thought for a moment and continued to ask, "What about this Mr. Sveck?" ”
After a while, Luke and the others got the address of Mr. Swick, and he smiled at the hostess and said, "Please help us book a place, and we will come for lunch later, and I hope you will serve it for us." ”
The hostess's smile was even brighter, knowing that she would have a tip later.
The man who had been eating with Wendy for a long time, his full name was Philip Swick, and he lived in the villa area that Luke had just seen.
Luke looked at Selena, "Did you think of anything?" ”
Selena sat in the co-pilot and drew a few lines on the tablet: "Is that not the case?" ”
On the tablet map, the restaurant is connected to Swick's home in the villa area, and Wendy's name appears on top of a stick figure of a boat, floating on the surface of the sea, but with a question mark added to it.
Luke looked and nodded, "That's pretty much it, it depends on where Wendy's death is." ”
An hour later, the two came out of the villa over there, relatively silent for a while, Selena couldn't help but ask, "Do you think what he said is true?" ”
Luke: "I don't know, we've seen a lot of criminals with good acting skills." Just because he cries sad doesn't mean he's innocent. ”
Selena smacked her lips: "If you just feel it, I don't think he killed Wendy." ”
Luke didn't refute her, after all, she said it, just feeling, not judgment.
Philip Swick has a medium-to-upper appearance, a good temperament, and is indeed relatively easy to gain people's affection.
But Wendy's husband seems to be ...... It's kind of pathetic!
During the conversation, Mr. Sveck was honest with each other, telling them that he and Wendy were in a relationship, and that he and Wendy were both separating from their spouses and waiting for a divorce, and then they would be together.
He did stay with Wendy that night, and Wendy came to him on a boat, and after the two made out, Wendy sailed away again.
Selena wondered at the time: "Why don't you drive back together?" ”
Sveck looked sad: "She doesn't want others to see her driving to my house, and every time she comes by herself in a small boat." You know, she's not divorced yet. ”
Luke and the two glanced at each other at the time, thinking that Wendy's legitimate husband did not report to the police that his wife was missing for three days, and the relationship between the husband and wife was indeed not very good.
Luke said, "Let's go, walk along the coast and see if we can find the boat." Maybe that's the first crime scene. ”
The two didn't drive either, and searched directly along the coastal road.
Forty minutes later, Luke and Selena stood on the shore of an overgrown area and looked at one of the small boats hidden in it, "Okay, at least there's something for us to check." ”
Green on a white background, there was still a dried blood stain somewhere along the edge of the boat.
It was on this smell of blood that Luke discovered the boat.
It was windy, but the boat was a constant source of smell, and Luke spotted it fifty meters away.
That's Wendy's smell.
