Chapter 084: Detective Beverly Hills
Parking the car in front of Jodie Foster's cottage, Kate suddenly feels like Eddie Murphy from "Beverly Hills Detective".
- Well, at least I'm prettier than him! and I can wear high heels!
Miss Detective was bitterly happy.
Jodie Foster's villa wasn't huge, and it was a small man in front of a large expansive mansion nearby. But even so, this is a villa in Beverly Hills. The price of any house here, I'm afraid Kate will not be enough to work for the FBI for 100 years.
"Damn rich people!"
In a sullen muffled self-talk, Kate walked into the scene of the crime.
That's right, Jodie Foster's home is the scene of the crime.
This is enough news to make the paparazzi waiting nearby explode with excitement. The only regret for them is that the actress neither died nor killed.
"After Hinckley, Foster has another avid perverted fan!"
Jeff, a veteran journalist who has been following Jodie Foster for some years, thought to himself.
Jeff is not a paparazzi. At the Chicago Tribune, while he is also focused on journalism, he is not as unbounded as those tabloid reporters.
Since "The Robbery of Pear Blossom", which made Foster reach the back seat of the Oscars for the first time, Jeff has been responsible for filming Miss Actress. For the real big news, although he will not be soft, but in the face of some small things that can be reported or not, he is full of gentlemanly demeanor.
Such an attitude won the favor of the other party, so that he could get some interview opportunities from time to time. And Jeff also reciprocated for this -
It's not that he didn't notice some abnormalities in the daily life of the actress, but before someone else broke the news, he decided to keep silent first.
And now, what he cares about most is Jodie Foster's safety-
In the early hours of this morning, just as a group of reporters who were guarding the neighborhood were already yawning, a terrible scream suddenly came from the small villa they were watching.
This immediately sobered them up.
And then seeing Jodie Foster and her assistant running barefoot from the hallway, wearing pajamas, just a few coats, everyone realized that the big news was coming!
"Please help us!"
The actress's straightforward request for help made the reporters who usually want to stuff the microphone under the former's nose at a loss.
After all, if you don't consider the needs of work, it's hard not to be brainstormed when facing a beautiful woman of Jodie Foster's level, who are basically all men.
Especially at this moment, this beauty is still wearing pajamas, obviously frightened, and she looks pitiful, which makes everyone even more unbearable.
"No wonder Hinckley would assassinate the president after watching her perform in "Taxi Driver"!"
Many people have such thoughts in their minds.
"Judy, what's going on?"
A group of reporters led by Jeff who had a good relationship with Foster hurriedly surrounded him.
This time, they gentlemanly did not take pictures.
Jodie Foster didn't speak.
She looked frightened and confused, as if she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"...... in the house"
Her assistant Anna spoke tremblingly,
"There is ...... in the house"
Well, depending on the meaning, this girl was also frightened, and she couldn't say everything.
"Let's take a look!"
A couple of younger reporters, or paparazzi β who, in Jeff's view, are third-rate tabloid reporters β volunteered.
As for whether they did it out of chivalry or the male's desire to show himself in front of a beautiful female, Jeff didn't know.
- Of course, it could also be to grab the headlines.
Thinking so, Jeff followed.
Whether it's from the perspective of a journalist or a friend, he wants to figure out what's going on -
Jodie Foster's villa is not big, and the interior is not as extravagant as some stars who like to show off, this is a small house that can only be described as warm.
In the main hall of the house, there are many posters hanging in which Jodie Foster has acted in movies.
- Well, that might spoil the warmth of the room a bit. After all, whether it's "The Silence of the Lambs" or "Taxi Driver", their posters are not very ...... Friendly.
And now, these non-"friendly" posters have been painted with blood-red paint.
βLββOββVββEοΌβ
Jeff read the smeared marks,
"Love, it looks like a dangerous stalker again!?"
Mr. Reporter speculated.
The next moment, when he set his eyes on the long table in the corner of the living room, his pupils shrank sharplyβ
It was a dark red pool of blood, which didn't seem to have coagulated. In the center of the bloodstain was a large piece that looked like a cow's heart.
"Entrails!human!?"
Jeff, who had been a social journalist for a while, immediately thought of this possibility.
"Ahh!!h
Well, it seems that even journalists who specialize in exploring exciting news still have some mischievous ......
Thinking back to the scene at the time of the incident, Jeff's brow couldn't help but furrow.
"Judy won't be affected in any way, will she?"
In fact, Judie Foster was somewhat irritated by the Hinckley incident, but apparently, this time it was more directly violent.
- This is definitely another vicious incident!
At the very beginning of the incident, he had already sent the news back to the headquarters of the Chicago Tribune, and now he is staying here to interview the FBI who has completed the investigation for a while.
- Of course, these Hoover cowboys never cooperated much with the media.
But even so, Jeff hoped they would catch the guy sooner rather than later.
- Not as a journalist, but as a friend, a friend of Jodie Foster, hoped.
Kate didn't know that there was such a conscientious reporter who was guarding the scene of the crime.
As soon as she arrived, she immediately questioned forensic personnel and forensic doctors to see if there were any clues. As a result, she didn't know what to say-
"This is indeed a human heart, and judging by the preliminary judgment, it has not been cut for a long time, and-"
Speaking of this, the black forensic doctor in front of Kate couldn't help but swallow his saliva,
"Depending on the contraction of the incision, the person may still be alive when the heart is cut out. β
"This ......"
Even though Kate, as an FBI agent, has seen many vicious criminals, this judgment still makes her gasp.
And the forensic doctor's words are not finished,
"Now the preliminary judgment is that although the cut is quite smooth, it does not look like it was caused by ordinary knives. What the specific murder weapon is still needs to be studied. β
Well, it's weird, but it's a bit of a discovery. And the search results of the forensic department completely disappointed Kate.
"Except for a few people who originally lived here, no new fingerprints or footprints have been found?"
While it's true that wearing gloves can avoid fingerprints, this stalker β no, the murderer by now β is too careful!
Kate frustrated and frustrated, but there was nothing she could do.
"If this continues, it won't become an unsolved case again, right?"
- The series of cases in Rians Valley is still on hold.
Even if it's not for the sake of the FBI, for the sake of her resume, Kate has to think of something.
"Since the heart was taken from a living person, there must be a corresponding corpse. Let's start with the corpses!"
Kate pondered,
"But first, I'll have to rule out another possibility. β
