Chapter 56

Of course, this kind of old-fashioned apartment building will not be monitored.

The only security measure of the apartment building is an old lady who is only a doorkeeper. She is about sixty years old. She looks smart.

But Luke felt that there must be no such terrible force as old lady Lucy.

Selena used to show the old lady the police badge wallet, which is the most commonly used props for plain clothes, with both the badge and the certificate.

The old granny's face was calm, and she was not surprised at all. When they heard that they wanted the key to the door of the crime room, they took one from behind: "I'll take this one, and remember to come back when I've finished."

Selena smiled and said thank you.

The two climbed the third floor of the stairs.

This kind of old-fashioned apartment doesn't even have an elevator.

Go to Room 305 on the third floor. There is a seal on the door. Selena takes the seal and opens it with the key.

Two people enter the door.

The forensic Department has come here, so they don't need to wear shoe covers or anything like that, as long as they don't move around.

Looking at the figure drawn by the white line on the ground, Luke said, "look here. I'll go to the bedroom."

Selena nodded, and Luke went into the bedroom.

The body was found in the living room, and the bedroom was not like the first scene, so it was basically the same here.

Luke looked at the bedroom and said, "Serena."

Selena came over and looked at the situation in the bedroom. It was a little creepy.

"Have you ever looked up this type of victim before?" Luke, with a delicate face, looks at Selena.

Selena shook her head. "How could it be. There are few people in the small town who believe in such things. "

"Can you recognize the origin of these things?" Luke continued.

Selena glanced around and shook her head. "There are only a few things that are a bit like voodoo. Others are not, but certainly not serious beliefs."

Luke nodded, "well, it looks like our victim this time is a witch."

During the conversation, Luke's cell phone rang. After connecting, he listened for a moment, said "I see. I'll get there right away" and hung up.

Selena: what's up

Luke: let's go, the body of our Witch It's gone. "

Selena: what

She went downstairs and gave back the key to the old lady. She handed the old lady a business card and told her what happened or what she thought. She could call the above number, and they could get out and get on the bus.

Selena asked, "what's the matter? How did the witch disappear? "

Luke: " Well, in fact, the forensics wanted to go to the toilet temporarily before the autopsy for her. When they came back after the accident, they found that the body was missing. "

Selena: what about surveillance

Luke: "I don't know. We are going to see it ourselves. That's burick's call just now. Let's take the case by the way. After all, the disappearance of the victim's body is probably related to her murder. "

Serena was disappointed: "ah, I thought she came back suddenly and then left in a magic blink."

Luke: " If that's the case, I think we might have to turn it over. "

Selena said, "to whom? FBI？”

Luke's face is a little subtle: "no, maybe it's the shield."

Selena wondered, "what game?"

Luke: ha ha, nothing. Concentrate on driving

When they got to the forensic center in Houston, Luke and his wife swiped the police officer's identification in.

When I got to the morgue, I found a forensic doctor named Tom and explained the purpose.

This Tom is a middle-aged white man, but he feels a little soft. He says that kiriki is exaggerated, but he does feel a little soft.

Even in the face of Luke, a rookie detective at first sight, he didn't show much toughness, but told the process honestly.

In fact, there was nothing to say. Luke had just heard what burick said, which was almost the same as Tom's three minutes.

In the morning, he had a cup of coffee before work, peed to the toilet, and came back to find that the corpse on the autopsy table had disappeared.

Luke didn't say a word, but let Selena communicate with Tom.

Forensics is also a man. It must be more pleasant to face a gentle speaking beauty than to face a black faced man.

"What about monitoring?"

Tom: " There was a problem last night. Someone came to fix it this morning, but it didn't fix it. "

Luke broke in, "who's going to fix it?"

Tom was stunned. This was Luke's first question.

But he replied honestly, "I don't know. It's under the management of the logistics department. You can ask."

Selena casually put the small notebook in her pocket, smiling like a flower: "thank you for your cooperation, Tom forensics."Tom's forensic doctor felt that his eyes were a little bit dazzled, as if he had been flashed by the beautiful smile. He just nodded: "ah, no It's nothing. It should be. "

Then I watched the Hispanic beauty make a goodbye gesture to him and push the door away.

Selena went out, stepped up a few steps and caught up with Luke: "what do you think?"

Luke: "it's a bit of a coincidence to ask about the surveillance first. Do you remember what Robert often told us? "

Selena crooked her head: "when solving a case, many coincidences are not actually coincidences?"

Luke nodded. "So, we're going to see what's wrong with the surveillance."

Selena asked two people, found the logistics department and explained her intention.

It's a policewoman in charge here. Selena gives up her seat and lets Luke get on top.

The two had a tacit understanding.

Generally speaking, in the face of men who are not in danger, Selena speaks in person. In the face of middle-aged and old women, of course, Luke is out. Who makes his face really tender.

Luke is still smiling, indicating the intention.

The policewoman looked at the big boy in front of her. He was white and healthy, with correct facial features, smiling and sunshine. He was not amazing but it was easy to make people feel friendly.

After seeing the police card, she reported the name of the company.

Wells Dalit electronic communications.

This is the name of the company responsible for maintaining the monitoring in the building. Luke borrowed the landline from the women's police department and dialed the number directly.

After he identified himself, he asked for a few words, waited for a moment, and listened to the answer there. His face was strange.

After hanging up, he thanked the policewoman again, and then turned to leave.

Selena: what's the matter

Luke: "the front desk of that company told me that they didn't get a call from the Assurance Center yesterday, and they didn't send maintenance personnel this morning."

Selena: ah

Luke Ho Ho: "interesting, let's..."
