Chapter 1: First Encounter

In a luxurious apartment in New York City, a woman's body is covered in red rose petals, two palm-sized sunflowers are placed on her eyes, and many police officers are rummaging for clues.

Inspector Beckett, dressed in a lady's suit, asked, "Did you find a fatal injury?" ”

Chen Zhong used tweezers to pick up a few rose petals on his chest, revealing two bloody wounds.

"Two shots in the chest, a small-caliber pistol, I'm going to transport her back to the lab for a closer examination before I can have more information for you."

Beckett looked at the handsome Asian guy in front of him and asked, "Are you newly transferred from the forensic department?" ”

Chen Chong stopped the pen that recorded the information of the corpse, looked at the tall and beautiful female detective with short blond hair in front of him and said, "I am Chen Chong, who is new to the forensic department, you can call me Chen." ”

Beckett had a good impression of the new young forensic doctor, smiled at Chen Chong, and introduced him to two of his subordinates, "These two are Javier. Esposito and Kevin. Ryan. ”

Esposito greeted Chen Zhong with a smile, then took the notepad in his hand and read, "Alison. Tisdal, 24, graduated from New York University and has worked in social welfare work projects. This luxury apartment was bought by her father. A neighbor called to complain that the music was too loud, but no one answered the phone, so the neighbor came to see what was going on. The victim showed no signs of struggle. ”

Beckett stood up and walked around the corpse of the woman lying in the sea of flowers a few times before saying, "Don't you think this picture is familiar? ”

Javier. Esposito and Kevin. Ryan, including Chen Chong, shook their heads.

Beckett said: "Look at how he placed the body, the murderer carefully covered her with petals, he carefully arranged this game, I seem to have seen this scene somewhere before." ”

Ryan asked, "Have you seen that?" Where is it? ”

Rebecca looked helplessly at the few people present and said, "Don't you all read?" This scene appears in a book. Ryan, you go and put the best-selling author Richard. Kassel was brought to the bureau to assist in the investigation. ”

……

Chen Zhong returned to the laboratory in the morgue and saw an elderly couple standing outside holding each other up, waiting to be brought back for burial.

Chen Chong met them, and the Alexandre family, the son of the Pricers, died in a car accident one night when the drunk driver Matt. Chambers did not call the police when he knocked over their car, but fled in a car, and the Alexander family was found after dawn, but they were all killed because of the long time.

A police officer in charge of the case told Chen Chong that Matt. Chambers was acquitted of charge for bribing an alcoholics guardian and falsifying information about the loss of the vehicle.

Chen Zhong knew that the Prices must be in great pain now, their sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren all left in one day, but the murderer walked out of the door of the court with a smile, and it was a miracle that they could stand here.

Chen Zhong decided to help them, and at the same time he also needed points, and according to what Chambers did, he would definitely be divided into the evil camp.

Chen Zhong has secretly investigated Chambers's information in the past few days, and it seems that today is the day to give him a fair verdict.

After finishing the business at hand in the laboratory and seeing that it was time to get off work, Chen Zhong drove to a bar that Chambers frequented.

Chambers sat at the bar in a T-shirt and drank while watching the game broadcast above.

Chen Zhong sat next to him and pointed to Chambers and said to the bartender, "I want the same wine as him." ”

Chambers smiled at Chen Chong, "Brother, a wise choice. Have we seen it? ”

Chen Zhong took a sip of wine, "Probably not, I just moved to the neighborhood, and I need a fresh start." ”

Chambers asked with interest, "Because of a girlfriend or a boyfriend?" ”

Chen Zhong said helplessly: "I made a mistake, my girlfriend thought I drank a lot and broke up with me." ”

"We all make mistakes all the time, like I get involved in lawsuits. Okay bro, I'm going home to rest. Chambers finished his glass and stood up to leave.

Chen Chong said to him: "Hey, you have drunk so much, can you still drive?" ”

Chambers said disdainfully: "No problem, I have tried it no matter how much I drank." ”

After paying for the drink, Chen Zhong drove the rickety car driven by Chambers in front of him, and said to himself: I know you have tried, and you have tried many times.

……

Chen Chong, who was masked, went to Chambers's house, who lived alone, tied the drunk and sleeping Chambers to a back chair, and splashed him with cold water to wake him up.

Chambers, who came to his senses, found out about his situation and struggled hard, Chen Zhong waited for him to calm down for a long time, and said softly: "Don't speak, otherwise I will kill you immediately." ”

Chambers nodded hurriedly, Chen Zhong tore off the tape from his mouth, took out a few copies of the newspaper and handed it to his eyes and asked, "You did all these drunk driving accidents in the newspaper, right?" Don't lie, or the consequences will be severe. ”

Chambers looked at the newspaper in front of him, which was indeed a report that he had been killed by drunk driving in different cities over the years, and nodded hurriedly.

Chen Zhong received a prompt from the system, and Chambers in front of him was judged to be a member of the evil camp because he committed a number of cases of drunk driving causing death.

Chen Zhong taped Chambers' mouth to prevent him from screaming.

"Now I declare, Matt. Chambers, you have sinned, and I will give you the punishment you deserve. After Chen Zhong finished speaking, he took out a dagger and aimed it at Chambers's heart, and slowly pressed it.

Chambers, whose eyes widened, shook his body tied to his chair a few times and fell silent.

Chen Chong dipped his plastic-gloved hands in some of Chambers' blood and painted a pattern of the sun on the white wall.

……

In a swimming pool in a building in the heart of New York City, a female corpse in a yellow evening dress with a knife stuck in her body floated.

The officers fished the body out of the pool and placed it on the ground, where Chen squatted down and examined it carefully.

A mature and handsome man in his forties, wearing a high-end suit, came to Chen Chong's side.

Chen Zhong looked up at the person who came, and the man said, "I am the consultant of this case, and my name is Richard. Kassel. ”

"Oh, you're the best-selling author Inspector Beckett was talking about, aren't you? I read your book for a while last night, and it's really well written. You can call me Chen, I'm the coroner in the police station. Chen Zhong smiled and took off his gloves and shook Kassel's hand.

When Beckett saw the two chattering, he hurriedly walked over and said, "Cassel, didn't I say I wouldn't let you move?" ”

Kassel spread his hands and said, "It's too boring to stand there. ”

Beckett ignored him and asked Chen Chong: "Chen, have you found out the cause of death?" ”

"It will take a closer examination to know the cause of her fatal death, but now it is certain that the knife on her body was inserted after she died," Chen said. ”

After looking at the deceased a few times, Cassel said: "There was no foam on her mouth, and it can be concluded that she did not drown, but that she was killed first before the murderer posed like this." ”

Chen Zhong agreed with Kassel's words, "Mr. Kassel, you are very powerful, no wonder you have written so many books and sold well." ”

Beckett glared at Cassel and said, "This is not Disney, this is the scene of the murder, you have to do things according to my orders, do you understand?" ”
