"Miss Foster, have you been stalked by any fanatical fans lately?"

In a luxury suite at a nearby hotel, Kate asks the victim, Jodie Foster, questions.

- When something happened like that, it was naturally impossible for Miss Actress to stay in that house anymore, and under the arrangement of her agent, she and her life assistant Anna moved together to a nearby high-end hotel to sponsor it.

Accompanying them were four other people, tall and tall, newly hired bodyguards.

"If that stalker dares to show up again, we won't need the police, and we'll tear him apart!"

Anderson, the head of the bodyguard, sounded convincing — if he hadn't asked Judy to sign it if he hadn't also asked her to sign it.

- Well, because I'm threatened by an unknown fanatical fan, I need to hire another fanatic fan to protect myself......

Judy always felt that something was wrong with this.

But in the face of the FBI agent in front of her, her answer was still very decent.

"While some of my fans are really enthusiastic, I don't think they'll do that to that extent. ”

"Is it just enthusiasm?"

Kate frowned,

"Then you can please put your "passionate" -"

She gestured with her hands in quotation marks in her ears,

"-Is the list of fans available to me?"

"This ......"

Judy hesitated for a moment, then sighed a little tiredly:

"Anna!"

"Give!"

Anna, the assistant on the side, hurriedly handed a stack of bundled letters to Kate,

"These are all sorts of not-so-normal fan letters Judy has received in the last year. ”

"So much!?"

Kate couldn't help but be taken aback, but still reached out and took the letter,

"Anyway, we'll look into it!"

The good news is that with these letters, the FBI has a lot of investigative directions to choose from;

The bad news is that there are so many letters and so many directions to investigate that there may be no suitable clues in this area in a short period of time;

Anyway, Kate's problem continues-

"Speaking of which, Judy, why were you and Anna the only ones staying in your house last night?"

- Generally speaking, isn't it obvious that such a big name will carry a bodyguard with him anytime and anywhere?

Kate pondered the question, and it was Anna who answered her:

"Judy's bodyguard Michelle, Michelle Langton took a few days off two days ago due to some family factors, and I have been with Judy during this time. ”

"Is that so?"

Kate nodded noncommittally, then asked,

"And where is that Mr. Langton now? I think I'll get a clearer answer to some questions about Judy's security. ”

"We haven't contacted him yet. ”

Judy interjected, her voice still looking very tired.

Kate recalled, it seems that she has never had a good rest until now, so it will be the way it is now, and it is really a normal thing.

"Didn't get in touch?"

Kate couldn't help but "cut",

"Let's talk about that later, can you tell me which of you two discovered the heart first?"

"Heart!?"

Assistant Anna's face turned green all of a sudden,

"So, is that really the human heart?"

"Unfortunately, yes. ”

As soon as Kate's words fell, Anna suddenly softened. This startled Kate, and she hurried to the bed with Jodie Foster to carry Anna, who had fainted, to bed.

"Now, even if I don't say, you should have guessed who discovered the heart first?"

Judy winked at Kate.

"Forehead ......"

Kate was also a little dumbfounded for a moment in the face of this situation.

This Miss Anna is too timid, right? It seems that this is the normal girl's reaction to a bloody heart.

Can she be said to have a normal reaction, right? What is the self who has long been accustomed to similar scenes?

Wonder Woman?

Kate roared inwardly, but she didn't know whether to complain about herself or someone else.

"And when you found that heart, you ran out of the house?"

In desperation, Kate had no choice but to continue to ask questions.

"Yes. ”

Judy nodded,

"In that case, the more people you are with, the safer you are, isn't it?"

"A wise decision!"

Kate complimented Judy on her reaction speed. But I was thinking about one thing in my heart—

Is this a self-directed and self-staged homicide?

In fact, this is the first thing that the police have to determine in the process of investigating the case.

Unlike detective novels, where everything relies on reasoning, in reality, because the chain of evidence is required to be solid, the police with a lot of resources often use the elimination method to investigate.

The first thing to eliminate is the first to eliminate the suspect, which is the informant.

Especially in the current situation of this kind of secret room-

After questioning the reporters who followed her, Kate had preliminarily confirmed that no one else had entered or left Jodie Foster's house last night.

In particular, the forensic staff did not find any recent signs of others entering and exiting Judy's home, whether it was footprints or fingerprints.

In this way, after the informant who was originally in the house committed the crime himself, the possibility of wanting to get rid of suspicion through performance was greatly improved.

So, before assuming that the killer had enough caution and anti-reconnaissance capabilities, Kate needs to rule out the possibility of such self-directing and self-acting.

This is the principle of handling cases in the reality of the police. Although it may not be human, it is reasonable from the point of view of maximizing the efficient use of human resources.

Easy first, then harder!

However, in Judy and Anna's answers just now, Kate didn't find any loopholes.

Is it really that I am suspicious?

Kate pondered, and she decided to ask again,

"So, Judy, can you tell me what you were doing last night before you found that heart?"

“...... I'm sorry!"

Judy's face changed suddenly,

"I need to wait for my lawyer to be there before I can answer your question. ”

- Oops, shocked!

Kate suddenly realized what she had done wrong.

- Jodie Foster is not a foolish star who is completely unaware of the FBI's handling process.

On the contrary, because of the Hinkley incident that year, she had been interrogated by the FBI and the presidential secret service for a long time, and she knew the police system very well.

What's more, in "The Silence of the Lambs", she herself plays an FBI agent, and she will definitely study the FBI's way of handling cases.

In this case, because of the Hinckley incident, she has a psychological shadow on the FBI, once she hears the suspicion in her words, how can she cooperate with her investigation?

Careless!

Kate couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Agent Kate, could you please leave first? I haven't rested since what happened......

Although the other party's words were not exhausted, the meaning of the eviction order was already obvious, and Kate had no choice but to say goodbye in a witty manner.

- No way, there is no clear evidence now, and the FBI cannot use any coercive means.

Especially if the other party is a big star and a rich man, he will find a lawyer if he disagrees. Or the kind of lawyer who is very expensive and cunning.

With those damn guys around, they can't ask anything. They are best at exercising the right to silence, telling their clients that—

"You don't have to answer that question!"

"Damn the right to silence! Damn the Miranda Act! If the people involved don't answer any questions, how can they investigate!?"

Miss Detective complained helplessly.

"Wait, wait, this guy—"

Emerging from Judy's luxurious suite, Kate rubs shoulders with a man and a woman in the lobby of the hotel. The appearance of the man in it made her very familiar-

Charlotte Booth!!

Seeing the sudden appearance of this person who she had suspected in the Bianls Valley series of cases, Kate was a little suspicious for a while.

What is he doing here!?
