Chapter 126 Scarred (two chapters in one)(1/3)
Looking at the suspected footprints in the closet, Luke subconsciously used the 'identification card'.
A prompt sounded in my mind, "The footprints are too shallow and the shoe prints are less than one-fifth, so no valid data can be identified."
Luke did the next best thing and asked the survey team to collect traces of suspected shoe prints.
Although it may not be used, it is at least a piece of evidence that proves that someone may be hiding in the closet.
The physical evidence and body at the scene were brought back to the police station.
The deputy team led team members to visit the surrounding area to investigate, but the houses in the high-end community were widely spaced and the sound insulation was relatively good, so the neighbors failed to provide any valuable clues.
In the afternoon, Susan rearranged the task, "Raymond and Jenny were responsible for collecting surrounding surveillance."
Matthew investigates the deceased's communication tool to see if there are any suspicious contacts.
Luke and Blackie’s connection with the original author of Gone Lovers.”
Everyone acted separately.
…
Romit Burr, the original author of Gone Girl, is not far from this community.
It only takes a few minutes to drive.
Luke and the two got out of the car, looked around, and then walked to the door and pressed the doorbell.
"Ding dong..."
After a while, a man's voice sounded at the door, "This is Romit Bull's house. Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Romit Bull."
"If you want an autograph, you have to wait until the autograph session."
Luke flashed his badge and said, "lapd."
"Creak..." The door opened, and a middle-aged black man in his thirties stood at the door, "Please come in, Mr. Romit Bull has been waiting for you these two days."
Xiao Hei whispered in Luke's ear, "This kind of words sounds so familiar. Usually in movies, this kind of character is the final boss."
Luke smiled and said, "Congratulations, you solved the case before you saw anyone."
"Yeah, please call me Detective Marcus."
Luke asked the black man, "What's your name?"
"I am Mr. Romit's assistant, Wright Caffey."
Under the leadership of the black assistant, Luke and the two entered the living room, "Please wait a moment, I will hand over to Mr. Romit."
The black assistant asked the two of them to sit down and went to the room inside.
Romit Bull's house was bigger. Xiao Hei sat down on the leather sofa with all his strength, "It's great to have money."
Soon, an old white man came out. He looked to be about seventy years old, with silver-gray hair and black-rimmed glasses. "Hi, I haven't seen my friends from the Los Angeles Police Department in a long time. Those old guys I used to know...
Guy should have retired."
Luke stood up and said politely, "Hello, Mr. Romit Bull, I am Detective Inspector Luke of the Police Detective Bureau."
"Hello, Mr. Detective, please sit down." Romit Bull told the black assistant on the side, "Wright, bring a pot of Italian hand-ground coffee." Then he said to Luke and Xiao Hei, "I believe it.
I, it tastes great, you must try it."
Luke asked, "Mr. Romit, how did you know we were coming to visit?"
"As you can guess, all the main characters in the crew were called to the police station for questioning. It's normal for you to come to me. I don't reject this. I like dealing with people in the police station.
In my writing career, lapd has provided me with a lot of inspiration.
Of course, I will also donate to you."
Xiao Hei asked subconsciously, "Do you know Deputy Vincent?"
Romit thought for a moment and said, "I have no impression."
Luke returned to the topic, "Do you know Abu Gra?"
"Yes, I met Lucas' stand-in, but there was almost no communication.
I don't like to interact with people, and I don't often go to the set. I occasionally chat with Bell, and I heard that this guy was also arrested.
He is too persistent and always wants to make a work that goes beyond 'Special War Heroes'."
"Are you familiar with Lucas?"
"I can't say that I'm too familiar with him. I've chatted with him a few times. I heard that he was also arrested and the charges were not minor. Poor guy, his acting career is probably over.
I don’t like them as a couple very much, they are a bit snobbish.”
"Did you know that Lucas faked his own death?"
"Young man, don't lie to me. I didn't know about it at first. I didn't hear the news until Lucas was arrested.
I'm quite interested in this matter. It's a very good material, and there are often things that are more absurd than reality and require logic.
If your logic doesn't make sense, readers will give feedback.
But there is no need for logic in life."
"Mr. Romit, how did you come up with the idea of writing this book?"
"I have been writing this book for many years, and at that time I had another identity, that of a journalist.
I have interviewed many people, and this film is adapted from one interviewee’s real experience.”
Luke looked curious, "Which character in your novel is the interviewee the prototype of?"
"Hero."
"He's not dead?"
"I don't know whether he is dead now or not. He was still alive and well at that time."
"Can you tell me about his experience?"
Romit Bull thought for a while, "His experience is similar to what I described. The difference is that he embezzled the boss's payment, knowing that the boss might kill him, so he buried the boss alive in advance."
"Wow..." Luke was a little surprised, "I'm really surprised by this ending."
"But he was too impatient, his foundation was unstable, and he was too radical. It didn't take long for him to be caught by the Drug Enforcement Administration and he was imprisoned. I interviewed him in prison.
But considering the artistic creation, I wrote him to death to make the story more beautiful. I have many female fans who love me very much."
"Can you tell me his name?"
"Unfortunately, I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone without his permission."
Luke asked, "What about the heroine?"
"I haven't seen the heroine either. They were all dictated by the prototype of the male protagonist. It is said that not long after he entered the prison, the heroine died.
I didn't dare to ask more about how he died.
You know, he's a dangerous man and I don't want to anger him."
"Why does the movie script change the ending of the heroine?"
"The idea of producer Rossi and director Bell was mainly Bell. He felt that my ending was too cruel. He didn't understand the audience too well. The audience likes twists and turns. No wonder his movies have always failed on the street.
This guy never has a chance to turn around again."
Luke said, "Mr. Romit, I have read your work and it is very good.
But there is one question about the plot where the heroine hangs herself.
The scene when the heroine hangs herself is described in great detail, including her clothes, makeup, movements, and mentality, but there is no mention of items like the stool under her feet.
So, did the heroine commit suicide or commit suicide?"
Romit said firmly, "Suicide."
"I remember what you wrote at the time was that the poor woman's reflection was reflected on the smooth floor, so where were the objects she stepped on when she hung herself?"
Romit smiled, "You are a police officer, you should be good at analysis, what do you think?"
Luke analyzed, "If you don't step on something and hang yourself, it's not impossible. The heroine just needs to jump up, grab the rope, and pull her neck through the rope.
But I also feel that this is not in line with the image of the heroine in the book and is somewhat contradictory."
Romit nodded, "In fact, many people have asked me about what you said. Many fans even wrote to ask. They want to know if the heroine committed suicide? There are many guesses. Some people even doubt the death of the heroine.
It's a dream of her own.
In fact, the real reason is...I forgot to write stool."
"forget?"
"Yes, the publishing house was pressing me hard during that time. I was rushing to finish the manuscript, and there were some minor flaws in the logic. In fact, it was not a big problem, it was just that simple. As for the various speculations from fans, they were just over-interpretations.
Many fans have richer imaginations than me, and often they have already guessed the real murderer halfway through the book, which makes it a little embarrassing."
"One last question. You have written a lot of reasoning. If you were asked to reason and design, who do you think is the real murderer of the substitute Abu Guerra?"
