By the time Jack and Beckett returned to the room where the murder had taken place, the body had been lifted onto a stretcher bed and was waiting to be placed in a body bag.

"Earlier, the handsome FBI handsome guy noticed several strange abrasions on the deceased's back, and I checked it again, and with reference to the wounds on the deceased's neck, I had a bold guess."

Saying that, the forensic Lannie walked up to Jack and made a gesture of please, "Is that okay?" ”

Jack nodded knowingly, "Of course." Then she turned around and half-squatted down at her command.

Lannie reached out from behind to strangle Jack's neck, the plump and firm chest pressed against his back, full of elasticity, because the disparity in height made the position slightly awkward and somewhat funny.

"See?" She struggled to hold this position and look at Beckett.

"What?" Beckett didn't know why, and her mind was still immersed in the scene where Kassel met her old lover before, and she didn't react for a while.

"Here!" Lanny pointed to her chest that was about to overflow, making it difficult for a moment to tell whether she was taking advantage or giving Jack a favor.

Beckett blinked vigorously, and it took a long time for him to react, "Ah, you mean that the wound on her back was most likely caused by the killer when he strangled the killer from behind. ”

"Thank you, handsome." Lanny breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of Jack's neck and thanking him for her cooperation by tapping him on the back.

"The scars were most likely caused by something like something on the chest worn by the killer in the process of strangling the deceased from behind."

Beck nodded in understanding, "So if I find this ornament, can you connect it to the scars on the back of the deceased?" ”

"Perhaps, that's all I can say before I go back to the office to take further samples of the wound, but trace trace detection isn't something I'm good at, and I don't have the equipment in my lab, so."

Seeing Lannie's gaze at herself, Jack understood, "OK, notify me when the time comes, whether you send the sample to the CSI lab or the FBI's forensic lab, I can help promote it." ”

The latter nodded with satisfaction and casually asked about the situation on their side, "Have you seen the bride and groom?" Not being able to hold the wedding as scheduled must have made the bride very devastated, right? ”

"It's hard to say, after all, someone became a mysterious guest at the wedding." Beckett pursed his lips and said sourly, seeing that Lanny was a little confused, she added an explanation.

"Obviously, Kassel and the bride have a history."

"Ancient history, modern history, or sexual belching history?" Lannie's voice unconsciously rose an octave to look at Jack on the side, it was obvious that this was also a veteran gossip enthusiast.

"It looks like it's all there." Jack winked at her with a smile.

"Are you alright, dear?" Lannie hurriedly cares about her best friend.

"What can I do?" Beckett pretended to be surprised, and looked at Jack beside him with a weak heart, unaware that everyone who knew her and Cassel were secretly eating melons.

After all, one pretends to be chic but has gradually fallen without knowing it, and the other seems to be an iceberg beauty, but in fact she has secretly agreed, but she is arrogant and unwilling to face her heart, and the surrounding melon eaters have long seen the special chemistry between them under the cold eyes.

"If there is a result on your side, please feel free to notify me." Beckett dropped a word of advice under the burning gaze of his best friend and fled in embarrassment, and behind her, Jack and Lanny looked at each other and laughed at each other, high-fived, and the code was right, everyone was a melon eater.

——

"Sheila Bryan, the bride's mother."

"Keith Murphy, the groom's brother."

"Laura Healy, the bride's friend, one of the bridesmaids."

"Teddy Murphy, the groom's uncle."

"Ruby Osiris Schwartzman, the ex-wife of the uncle of the brother's father of the bride Kayla."

At one end of the bar, Kevin and Esposito were scrambling to make notes for the guests who came to the wedding, and Beckett, who had just returned here, seemed to be standing at a table checking the digital cameras that had been sent to the guests to record the wedding scene, but in fact he was pricking up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation between Cassel and the bride Kayla on the other side.

In contrast, Jack was much brighter, went to the bar and mixed himself two glasses of "Margaret", and stood in front of Beckett with one cup in one hand and drank it, this cocktail is also known as "Lover's Tears", which can be said to be quite appropriate.

In fact, the conversation between the two not far away is quite normal, roughly Cassel said in a ridiculous tone how Kayla insisted on not marrying at the beginning, and now how she changed her mind and started to talk about marriage.

Kayla replied that the girl had grown up, and then praised the groom, and could see that Cassel was genuinely glad that she had found true love.

But after saying that, Kayla was saddened by the wedding accident and the death of the bridesmaid, and Cassel naturally put his hand on Kayla's shoulder to comfort her, and then this scene was seen by the groom who suddenly broke in.

The groom is half a head taller than Kassel, handsome, and even younger, and his temperament looks like he was born in a rich family, but think about it, it is impossible to hold a wedding in such a high-end hotel without a little wealth.

Fortunately, they are both adults, and although the atmosphere is slightly awkward, everyone still politely exchanged a few words, and it is clear that the groom, Glitter Murphy, has also heard of Kassel's name and bluntly used the word ex-boyfriend.

Seeing that the groom hugged his bride Kayla and left, and deliberately put his hand in the position that an ex-boyfriend had just let go, Jack coughed lightly and walked up to Cassel with another undrunk "Margaret".

"Kayla Bryan, wow." The guy was still looking at the back of the bride leaving, and subconsciously took the wine glass handed by Jack and took a sip, letting out a sigh of admiration.

"I guess she must be special to you." Beckett said sourly to Cassel, although she knew that this thing had two ex-wives, but it was the first time she had seen him look at a woman like this.

"She's the only one who left on her own initiative." Cassel's tone was embarrassed, but the implication of his words made Beckett subconsciously clench his fists.

"Kevin and Esposito's transcript seems to be pretty much done." Jack interrupted, he also really wanted to see Beckett clean up the debt, but the case was important at the moment, although this case had nothing to do with him.

"Transcripts are done?" Beckett put down the digital camera he had been fiddling with unconsciously, and looked at the living treasure duo who were walking towards the trio.

Esposito looked at the notepad in his hand and said, "I briefly asked the guests about the deceased Sophie, and it seems that most people don't know much about her, but some people heard that she almost didn't make it to the wedding, and once called the bride Kayla to say that she couldn't be a bridesmaid, but then it seems that she changed her mind." ”

Beck nodded to indicate that she knew the message, "I talked to the bride and groom before you came, Sophie is a mutual friend of the bride and groom, but because she has been far away in Los Angeles for the past few years, the relationship is not too close.

However, since she was the original introducer of the two, she was invited to be a bridesmaid at the engagement party last year. ”
