Chapter 043: Crime Scene Investigation
"The corpse's clothing was stained with a small amount of dirt, not like it had been buried, but like it had been stored in some damp and dark place. A detailed trace element analysis can be followed and no valuable clues were found. ”
However, by examining the pollen left on the deceased's clothing, it can be determined that the woodland plants belong to the Rocky Mountains. More detailed results will need to be determined after a site survey. ”
"The scars on the surface of the corpse must have been caused after death, and I can be sure that it doesn't take our lovely old forensic Grandpa Duck to examine it at all. ”
"No fingerprints were found on the iron arrow inserted in the body, and it seems that the person who used it was careful. ”
"The deceased had sex before his death, after all, even if it had been dried, there was still a residue on the words. ”
"The DNA of another woman was found in the residue, which was compared with the database and belonged to Eliza Kunis. He is an actor who was convicted of indecency because he had drunk and undressed in public and peed in public, so he had a criminal record and a DNA sample. Currently, Eliza Kunis is missing. ”
"Several hairs were also found on the deceased's clothing that did not belong to him. A DNA database comparison revealed that one of them belonged to a middle-aged man named Seris Müller, who had a criminal record for armed robbery and was also missing. The owner of the other fur is unknown. ”
"After a detailed examination by Dark, the cause of death of the deceased could not be determined. On the surface, it appears to have died of organ failure, similar to natural death. But all the organs of the whole body are failing at the same time, which is too abnormal!"
"The time of death is also uncertain. While it can be determined that some time has passed, it is clear that the body has been preserved and treated, making it difficult to determine the exact date. ”
“......”
Thinking back on her test results, Abby couldn't help but be a little frustrated - although there seemed to be a lot of clues, but the unknown cause of death and the time of death alone made Abby realize that following those clues, eighty percent of them would be useless.
Speaking of which, the deceased was a director, and in a few months there will be a horror film called "Fatal Bend" to be released, which is said to be related to him. ”
Abby began to wonder if she should watch the film when the time came.
Gibbs ruled out that Kate was a bit far away, and the only ones left were good housemate McGee and movie lover Tony DiNozzo ......to choose from.
Abby's friend Kate Todd is not in the same good mood as she is.
This year, she had to leave the presidential secret service for more than two years because of personal problems, although Abby's boss Gibbs sent her an invitation at that time, but after thinking twice, she did not accept the offer from NCIS, but chose the FBI's West Coast branch.
"I want to stay away from this sad place on the East Coast!"
That's what she explained to Gibbs at the time, and the other party also said that they understood.
However, although she did not become Gibbs's subordinate, she still became good friends with Abby, Gibbs's subordinate.
However, now in this case, it seems that Abby does not have much place to help her. There's no way, who let themselves just come across such a bizarre case when they first came to work at the FBI-
Many days after the disappearance of film director Alan Mike Arrow, the body was dumped on the backlot of his crew, in the Bians Valley near Los Angeles, with iron arrows very similar to the crew's props.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a plot from a movie!
When she surveyed the scene yesterday, she found that it was not a crime scene, but just a corpse dumping scene. What's more, no footprints were found near the scene, nor were there any traces left by vehicles such as ruts.
This is very unreasonable, after all, the corpse is not a very light thing, and it is almost impossible to throw the corpse completely without leaving a trace, just like the so-called murder in a closed room.
She had no choice but to turn to forensic and forensic personnel, and she also specifically asked Abby, who was on the East Coast, to help her - after all, she was new to the FBI and was not very confident in the quality of the forensic personnel here.
It turned out that the FBI's forensic personnel were no worse than Abby, but the problem was that the cause and time of death could not be determined, so how useful would the other clues provided?
"But it's better to have a clue than no clue!"
Kate comforted herself like this, but the results of the subsequent investigation proved that her hunch was correct-
Eliza Kunis, who was found having sexual* sex with the deceased Allen, disappeared with Allen in the Bians Valley. The Los Angeles Police Department has a record of this.
Although the hair found on Allen's body that did not belong to him was only compared to a Seris Müller, it was found that this person was also a missing person, and the last place to be seen was also Bians Valley.
And, after reviewing the archives, Kate found that there seem to have been quite a few cases of disappearances in the Bians Valley area in recent years, could there be any connection between them?
This case was handed over to the FBI by the Los Angeles Police Department, did they find out something in advance and felt that this case would be very troublesome later, so they deliberately threw the blame on themselves?
Kate felt that the line of extended forensic clues didn't seem to be able to find out anything for a while, but-
"The crew of "Fatal Bend", will they have anything to do with this matter?"
Seeing that today's "Los Angeles Post" also published news about this case, and specifically mentioned the name of the movie "Fatal Bend", she immediately realized that this should be the producer's deliberate hype.
Kate, who comes from the Presidential Secret Service, has a higher media sensitivity than the average agent, and she realizes that there is a driving force behind this. So the question is, will the owner of these two pushers know something that he doesn't know?
Kate decided to ask the film's producer, Anthony Westwood, however—
"I've already said everything I need to say in the media, and although I can say it again, I don't think it will help solve the case. ”
Westwood's attitude can be described as cooperative or uncooperative, and the point is that Kate can see that he is happy to be behind the scenes.
"Can you please keep the investigation and details of this case confidential?"
In order not to be harassed by some tabloid reporters in the future, Kate still hopes to make the other party stop.
"It can't be!"
- The result was unsurprisingly rejected. Moreover, the other party's reasons are awe-inspiring.
"You know, we're entertainment people, and the nature of the industry dictates that we can't stop those journalists by relying on privacy in many cases. Moreover, it is the media's duty to make the truth known to the public. ”
- Shit!!You're just trying to pick up and hype up your movie!
Kate cursed in her heart, but she had no choice but to continue to ask her own questions.
"So, can you put me in touch with the current director of this film, Mr. Charlotte Booth?"
"This, it's best not to do it in the near future. Charlotte is busy with the post-production and editing of the film, and disturbing him at this time will affect the release of our film. If you have any questions, just ask me!"
As soon as Mr. Producer's words came out, Kate's eyes suddenly lit up.
