Chapter 122 Evidence (Happy May Day, big chapter)(1/2)
One o'clock in the morning.
The team members returned to the office one after another.
Susan summoned everyone to the conference room for a meeting.
She took a sip of coffee to refresh herself and said, "Everyone, please tell me about the progress of your investigation.
Raymond, you speak first."
"We investigated the situation of Abu Guerra. He is Lucas's stand-in, and his physical characteristics are very similar to Lucas." As he spoke, Raymond put a piece of information on the projector.
Deceased, Abu Gra
Mobile number, 626 843 3123
Date of birth, May 2, 1988
Address, 132 Harvey Street
Social Security Number, 623-52-7767
profession, actor
Raymond continued, "The deceased was not a native of Los Angeles. We have contacted his parents and asked them to come to the police station to identify the body."
Susan added, "I notified the medical examiner and will conduct a DNA test on Abu Guerra's parents when they arrive. I will keep an eye on this matter to determine the true identity of the deceased.
Tell me about your interrogation."
Luke organized his words, "We gave Lucas a transcript, and he refused to admit that he was involved in Abu Guerra's death.
In his words, they just used Abu Gra's death to hype up the movie and achieve the goal of selling it well.
The man behind the scenes is director Bell Gru.
In addition, he revealed that producer Rosie Beale was also involved in this matter."
The deputy team member continued, "The situation here is similar. Enosa Sost admitted that she deceived the police and deliberately mistook Abu Guerra's body for Lucas.
The purpose is to influence public opinion and help build momentum for the movie. In addition, I also hope that my husband will have a topic and regain popularity.
She also admitted that she was instigated and even threatened by director Bell Gru.
In his words, if they disagree, Bell Grew will probably ban Lucas.
And according to director Bell Gru, the producers also acquiesced in this matter.
In short, the confessions of the couple are very similar, either telling the truth or colluding."
Luke added, "We offered to check Lucas for any injuries and he agreed.
After Marcus’s examination, there were no teeth marks on Lucas’ body. He probably wasn’t the murderer who killed Abu Guerra, at least he didn’t do it himself.”
The deputy said, "We also asked the female police officer to check Enosa Soest's body, but she refused. Based on my experience, when they react, they will definitely ask a lawyer to help with the bail process.
If we can't find new clues, we won't be able to keep them locked up for long."
Susan concluded, "Judging from the current situation, in addition to Mr. and Mrs. Lucas, director Bell and producer Rossi are also suspected of being involved in fabricating evidence. At least the two of them are insiders."
Luke added, "The assistant director was the one who reported the crime. He was also the first to discover the body and the first to identify Lucas. I think he is also a certain suspect. He may also be one of the accomplices."
Jenny asked, "Why is it fabricating evidence? Shouldn't it be murder?"
Luke explained, "There is currently no evidence to prove that they were the murderers of Abu Gra. We can investigate secretly, but we cannot use this excuse to summon them."
I think for the convenience of investigation, we can temporarily divide it into two cases.
The first case was the murder of Abu Ghra.
The second case involves using Abu Guerra's body to fake Lucas's death.
Although the two cases may have been committed by the same group or person, before there is enough evidence, the other party will definitely take a chance.
Simply split the two cases to make the complex case simpler. As long as they admit to one of the cases, clues to the other case will be revealed intentionally or unintentionally during the interrogation process.
Once there are logical problems before and after their confession, it proves that they lied here, and we can follow the clues to investigate."
Susan nodded, "This is a good idea. From the available evidence, both Bell and producer Rossi are suspected of perjury, but there is no evidence that they are related to Abu Guerra's death.
Even if we ask about the murder of Abu Gra, they will definitely not admit it.
Then we will first interrogate the clues in the perjury case and convict one of them on one of the charges. As long as we control the person, we will have the name of investigation. As for the content and method of the investigation, they are within the operable range."
The deputy team member suggested, "I suggest that Director Bell and Producer Rossi be summoned overnight to prevent these two from colluding in the confession."
Susan asked with concern, "Deputy team, can you physically handle the investigation all night?"
"I know my own body well. If I feel tired, I will find a place to rest by myself."
Susan said no more and directly arranged the task, "Luke and Marcus were responsible for summoning director Bell.
Raymond and Jenny are responsible for summoning producer Rosie."
…
Two o'clock in the morning.
The Bell family.
Bell is an old bachelor who has never been married. He usually lives alone and hires a nanny who will clean the house on time.
The second floor was transformed into a theater, and hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent on decoration and equipment alone.
At this time, the movie "Special Forces" was playing in the theater, and Bell Gru was the only one in the audience.
He watched it very seriously, as if it was his first time watching this movie.
This movie is very important to him. It is the movie with the highest box office and the best reputation in his many years of working in the industry.
He also relied on this movie to completely become famous.
But this movie is like a curse that he can no longer break.
Since then, he has also directed some films, with mediocre reviews and low box office, and his reputation in the industry is not as good as before.
Many people say that he has exhausted his talents.
He doesn't admit it.
He himself couldn't understand why the special warfare was so popular back then.
This is an action-revenge movie with little connotation and average shooting techniques, but it became a hit.
When many people mention him, they will think of special warfare.
It made him happy but also a little depressed.
He has always wanted to surpass the previous film and make another better movie that will achieve new highs in terms of reputation and box office.
Let the world know that he can do it. He did not rely on luck and bonuses to become popular in the special battle show, but relied on his own talent.
"Dong dong."
He faintly heard a knock on the door.
Bel Gru frowned slightly, who would come so late?
I paused the movie, went downstairs, and checked the access control monitor. It was the handsome black-haired policeman.
After hesitating for a moment, Bell Gru opened the door and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone,
"What's the point of knocking on the door so late? You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
Xiao Hei smiled and said, "I want to tell you that the special battle scenes you filmed are bullshit."
Bell Gru was confused, "Are you mentally ill? You came up all night just to tell me this.
Disappear from my doorstep immediately, and if you don’t get out, I will file a complaint against you.”
Luke smoothed things over, "Director Bell, don't get angry, this is just a joke.
He's just a bit outspoken."
Bell Gru "..."
"You came to me in the middle of the night just to deliberately anger me?
OK, you succeeded." Bell Gru tried to close the door.
Luke pressed his left hand against the door, "We found Lucas."
Bell Gru showed a trace of panic, "What nonsense are you talking about? He is already dead."
"Stop pretending, Lucas has confessed the fact that you collaborated to murder Abu Guerra.
Director Bell, if your crime is found out, you will have to spend the rest of your life filming Brokeback Mountain behind bars."
Xiao Hei winked and said with a cheeky smile, "Maybe he's the lead actor."
Luke glanced at him and said, "You are really mean."
"Thank you for the compliment." Xiao Hei didn't feel dissatisfied but felt proud.
Bell Gru was a little at a loss, "I don't know what you are going to say? I have never killed anyone, and I can't even kill a dog!"
