Chapter 11: Clearing Grievances

Kassel is taken away by the police, and Chen Zhong and Beckett stay behind to comfort the worried Martha and Alexis.

Chen Zhong said to the two: "Alexis, Martha, you don't need to worry, we all know that Kassel was wronged, and everyone will find out the truth of the matter." ”

Beckett also said in a resolute tone: "Whoever is behind the scenes to frame Kassel, we will find him, I promise." ”

……

Director Montgomery was personally interrogating Kassel in the interrogation room, and Kassel was completely unable to refute the evidence against him.

Soon, new evidence emerged, the technicians recovered the deleted data from the computers of Kassel and the victim Tessa, which contained a lot of emails about the intimate connection between the two men, as well as Kassel's complete plan to commit the crime, all of which pointed to Kassel.

Prosecutors rejected the suggestion of Commissioner Montgomery and Beckett to postpone the appeal and decided to bring charges against Tessa's death as soon as possible, and Cassel was placed in a police cell.

Outside the cell where Kassel was imprisoned, a woman's voice rang out: "It is said that only dogs can smell fear, but you know what? Some people can do it, and I can feel it right now, and you smell of fear. ”

Cassel stood up and looked at the uniformed policewoman outside, "Kelly. Nieman!? ”

Niemann, disguised as a policewoman, said, "The last time we met, you were still a great writer with great personability, you didn't expect you to be where you are today." ”

"Someone! Help me! Cassel shouted outside his cell and waved his arms at the camera, trying to get attention.

Niemann smiled and said, "Don't waste your efforts, they can't hear or see you, I think I'm doing a pretty good job in this regard." ”

Cassel, who calmed down, pointed at Nieman and said, "You did everything, you killed Tessa." ”

"No one would have thought that it was me who had killed, but you are different, and now all the evidence shows that you killed Tessa, after all, you are thinking about how to commit a crime every day for your novel, and it is not difficult to imagine that you will one day realize it." Niemann said slowly.

Cassel asked, "Nieman, why are you doing this?" ”

Niemann said with some excitement, "Why? It was you who ruined the Rejuvenation Hall that I had worked so hard to build, and the connections I had built up over the years. Especially you, who dared to openly say that I was an ugly and stupid woman, was thinking about what to do with you when I saw you say this on TV. ”

"Why didn't you kill me, but went to such great lengths to frame me?" Cassel said suspiciously.

Niemann had a look of pleasure on his face, "I'm not going to kill you, do you know what happened to the last person who dared to call me ugly and stupid?" Watching you walk with your daughter, the ambiguous lingering between you and Beckett, the casual entry and exit of your home, lurking in your life, and the thought that everything about you will be ruined by me, is what fascinates me. ”

Cassel was somewhat frightened by the mentally unhealthy Niemann, "Beckett and my friends will catch you, you can't escape." ”

"Even if someone believes in you, there's nothing they can do about it because you don't have time. Tomorrow the prosecutors will charge you, and they will take you to the detention center, which is called the 'grave', where I have prepared a few roommates for you, and they will definitely like you." This is also a punishment for Beckett, knowing that you are innocent, but she can't save you, which will make her feel guilty for the rest of her life. Good night, Kassel, and get ready for a better tomorrow. Nieman smiled and left the cell.

……

In the morning, friends and family members came to visit Kassel in the cell, and Kassel told everyone about Niemann, but after investigation, there was no sign of Niemann in the surveillance video.

Beckett, Esposito, and Ryan were busy going out to investigate Niemann's whereabouts, and Cassel stopped Chen Zhong, who was walking last.

"Chen, I need help, do you believe me?

Chen Zhong said: "Of course Kassel, I have always believed in you, you are not that kind of person. ”

"I'll be transferred to the detention center at noon, I believe what Niemann said, she'll find someone there to deal with me, I need to get out of here," Cassel said eagerly. ”

Chen Zhong smiled and said to Cassel: "Okay, you wait patiently, I believe that a miracle will happen." ”

……

Cassel met Beckett in Chen Chong's apartment, and Beckett said in surprise: "I didn't expect Chen Chong to be able to rescue you." The District Attorney has issued a notice that you are now a fugitive and that all the police in New York are looking for you. ”

"Chan is a great magician, and we have to thank him well in the future. I spent the night in my cell thinking last night, how did Nieman do it? How could she get the video of me going to buy jewelry? Then I thought about it. ”

Cassel pointed to an ad on the screen of his laptop, and Beckett read: "Recruiting stuntman writers: Stephen. Kim, J.K. Rowling, Richard. Kassel. ”

Beckett quickly found a stuntman who had come to apply for the job at the address provided by the advertising agency.

The stuntman saw the surveillance photos of the jewelry store, pointed to himself and said to Beckett: "Yes, this is the show I participated in, and the director asked me to buy a piece of jewelry for more than 10,000 US dollars." ”

Beckett showed him another picture of Niemann, "Have you seen this woman?" ”

"Oh, of course I did, she's the producer of the show."

"Do you have her contact information and address?"

Beckett obtained Niemann's phone number and address, and found that the phone number was down and the address was fake, but the computer experts at the police department found that the number had been used in an abandoned building.

Montgomery sent a large number of police to the abandoned building, and the officers rushed in and found a lot of evidence.

A latex hand model for making fake fingerprints, a photo of a supervisor, a renovation drawing of the Kassel house, and a map showing the location of all the surveillance cameras.

Beckett and Cassel also came to the scene, and Montgomery said to Cassel: "These can already prove your innocence, I have communicated with the prosecutor and dropped your murder charges." Now, though, it's up to Beckett to take you back to the police station because you have one more charge of escaping custody. ”

Finally cleared of their charges, Cassel and Beckett smiled at each other and left the building to return to the police station.

When the car drove to an iron bridge, Beckett, who was driving the car, saw the silent Cassel and asked strangely: "It's okay now, what are you worried about?" ”

"I feel a little lucky to be able to find the building where Niemann is hiding so easily through the phone number," Cassel said. ”

"Sometimes it takes a bit of luck to solve a crime......"

Before Beckett could finish his sentence, a car behind him quickly crashed into the car they were riding in, and Beckett quickly stepped on the brakes and parked the car on the side of the bridge.

Niemann stepped out of the car behind him and shot at the two men with his pistol, Cassel ducked his head to avoid the bullets, and Beckett walked outside the car and drew his gun to return fire.

With a thud, Beckett hit Niemann in the chest and she fell to the ground.

When Beckett approached Niemann to observe her death, Niemann leapt from the ground, restrained Beckett, and threw Beckett's gun aside, and Niemann carried her to the car where Cassel was.

Niemann smiled and said, "Cassel, the woman you like is in my hands, and I want you to see with your own eyes how she died." ”

Cassel climbed behind her and picked up Beckett's pistol that had been thrown aside. Bang bang
