Looking at Norman leaving, Kai showed a sneer. Come on, this kind of scum should get the retribution he deserves... No, it should be punishment.
"Boss! Your phone number, someone is looking for you!" Chloe suddenly ran out and shouted.
"who is it?"
"He's from the FBI, his name is Booth."
Booth, whose full name is Healy Booth, is an FBI special investigator. He was once a sniper in the Marine Corps. After retiring, he entered the FBI. Because of his outstanding work ability, he was made a special investigator of the FBI Washington Branch. This typical American strong man
Han had worked with Kai in Chicago. His military style made Kai like him very much. In addition, he had a good personality. After going back and forth, he and Kai were considered friends. When nothing happened, the two parties would contact each other and chat. But overall
The connection is not very close.
Kai returned to the office and answered the phone.
"What? Do you want to see the body found on the beach?" After greeting each other, Booth made a request that made Kai a little embarrassed. Previously, their crime team received a call and someone found a body on Venice Beach.
The body was washed up on the beach by the waves, with cement poured into its feet, a typical gang execution method. The owner of the body was none other than Laurie Smith, the police undercover agent seven years ago. However, because the body had been corroded by sea water for a long time
, there were very few clues above, and in desperation, Kai asked the forensic department to hand over the body to the S.T.A.R. laboratory, hoping to use high technology to find some clues.
"Booth, you are also a police officer, you should know the rules." This corpse is one of the few or even the only clues in this case. According to regulations, no one else is qualified to approach this corpse unless it is a person related to the case.
.
"I know, I know...it's just..."
Of course Booth knows the rules, and he is the FBI. This case is now handled by the Los Angeles police, and the FBI has no right to intervene. Unless Booth can provide evidence, this case is within the FBI's authority. Otherwise, there is no way Kay can let Booth
Participation and meddling are very frowned upon in the police community.
Booth only thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with any reasonable explanation, so he finally gritted his teeth and told the truth.
"Actually, my partner and I were on vacation in Los Angeles. When the body was discovered that day, we were actually at the scene. And my partner was very interested in the body."
Let’s not talk about it for now. How did you actually go on vacation with your partner? Just say the following sentence of ‘interested in corpses’, which is really embarrassing. Is there anyone who is good at this?
"Booth...your partner...there's nothing wrong with him, right?"
After hearing Kai's words, Booth didn't react immediately, but just said casually: "She's always been like that."
She? Is she a woman?
Kai was still thinking about this matter, but Booth on the opposite side came to his senses and realized the meaning of Kai's words just now.
"No, you misunderstood. Bones is a forensic anthropologist who specializes in studying human skeletons. Her interest in corpses is completely an occupational disease."
"Wait a minute...why would you, an FBI investigator, partner with a forensic scientist? Is the FBI so wild?" It's super rare for law enforcement officers to partner with non-law enforcement officers. In fact, it completely violates law enforcement regulations.
!
"No... there are many things involved. In short, the matter is very complicated and cannot be explained in a sentence or two, but now she is indeed my partner."
Booth's partner is named Temperance Belén, nicknamed "Bones". He is a smart, diligent and unsmiling doctor of forensic anthropology. He is a super academic, has double doctorate degrees, and can speak multiple languages: French, Spanish and
Chinese. She is also a best-selling author who is very good at suspense novels. She is also a believer in science and an atheist. She is currently employed by the famous Jeffersonian Institution and the FBI.
In particular, the Jeffersonian Institution is worth mentioning. This institution was established in 1864 and was originally funded by a bequest from the British scientist James Smithson to the United States. It is a collection of museums and research institutions in the United States. The organization includes 19
It has three museums, nine research centers, art galleries and the National Zoo, as well as 136.5 million works of art and specimens. It is also the only semi-official third-sector museum institution in the United States funded by the U.S. government. It also has the largest museum in the world.
Systems and Research Consortium. It is managed and funded by U.S. government grants, other donations, and profits from its own store and magazine sales. The organization's headquarters facilities are located in Washington, DC.
The Smithsonian Institution's Board of Directors is composed of successive U.S. Vice Presidents, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, three members of the Senate, and nine U.S. citizens. The president is appointed by the Board of Directors.
It is the best academic institution in the United States. In some fields, such as medicine, art, engineering, etc., it is at the top of the world. For example, the S.T.A.R. laboratory under Kay's name is also among the top academic research institutions in the world.
Even so, with the exception of quantum physics, few fields surpass the Jeffersonian Institute.
In short, it is a gathering place for academics, and the best academics and researchers in the United States all dream of joining this association.
However, Booth's partner was able to enter the Jeffersonian Institution in his twenties and become the association's chief doctor of forensic anthropology, which is undoubtedly a feat.
As for the reason why Temperance Belen wanted to get close to this corpse, it was entirely because of her research.
…
"Okay, listen ladies and gentlemen, I can let you participate in this case." Outside the door of the forensic laboratory of S.T.A.R. Laboratory, Kai stopped Belen (he later called her Xiaogu) who was about to walk in.
"Just say but, Officer Kai, and we can skip those meaningless conversations."
The person who spoke was Booth's partner, Temperance Belén. Belén was a very beautiful woman, not very old, about twenty-five years old, with chestnut hair and very three-dimensional facial features. According to Westerners,
Aesthetically, there is no doubt that she is a beauty. At the same time, Kai can't feel a trace of worldliness in this lady, just like a nerd in an ivory tower. This is not Kai's slander. This lady emphasizes logic when talking and doing things.
His speech speed is always half a beat faster than other people's, and his observation skills are also very keen.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is not a mistake, but correspondingly, from the contact with her in less than ten minutes, Kai can feel that she is extremely clumsy about the world, or that she does not care at all.
This kind of person is not lovable in daily life, but at work, Kai doesn't hate it. After all, it looks professional and can also reduce communication costs.
"Okay, Miss Belen, you are assisting personnel, and I hope you can follow Dr. Smith's instructions."
"Dr. Smith, I have listened to his lectures and read his papers. He is an extremely excellent forensic anthropologist. I am willing to cooperate with such an authoritative person." Xiaogu may not understand what Kai meant at all.
Kai was also helpless. This is how people are. They are extremely good at their professional work, but outside the scope of their professional work, it becomes difficult to communicate. So Kai simply stopped wasting his words and looked at Booth.
Booth was an old police detective and understood very well what Kai wanted to say.
"I understand that this is your Los Angeles Police case. We are only assisting in our personal capacity and have nothing to do with the FBI."
Booth understood that it was very rare for Kay to agree to their request. Putting himself in his shoes, if this case was in the FBI and Kay suddenly asked to participate like him, he would probably refuse. After all, this kind of thing is against the rules.
Kai nodded. If it was just him, he wouldn't object at all to someone coming to help. There is strength in numbers. But this concerns the two major law enforcement agencies, the Los Angeles City Police and the FBI. Even if Kai doesn't care about those things that are available or not, Kai nods.
, we must also consider our basic stance. So some things must be made clear.
To put it bluntly, Dustin’s premise for allowing them to participate is that they are not allowed to take credit!
The world is so realistic.
…
Kai is the boss of S.T.A.R. Laboratory. Although very little is known about this matter. Only the former owner of S.T.A.R. Laboratory, Harrison Wells, knows about it. However, in name to the outside world, S.T.A.R. Laboratory is funded by Wayne Group, so Kai
This time, in addition to being a police officer, I was also conducting an inspection as a shareholder of Wayne Group.
This is also the reason why the S.T.A.R. Laboratory gives face. Otherwise, the reputation of the Western District Police Department would not allow outsiders to enter and exit the S.T.A.R. Laboratory at will.
Dr. Smith is very unhappy with someone interfering in the case he takes over. Just like the police do not want others to interfere in their own case, this kind of sudden intervention will be detoxified as distrust. This is distrust of his own ability.
But after seeing the small bones, Dr. Smith's face looked much better.
It was also at this time that Kai learned that Xiao Gu was among the top group in the field of forensic medicine. He was an authoritative expert.
Dr. Smith has been exposed to Xiaogu’s lectures and papers, and highly approves of them.
However, Xiaogu's personality meant that she would not have much conversation with Dr. Smith, so she directly proposed to examine the bones.
Dr. Smith is also engaged in scientific research and is well aware of the various quirks of scientific research dogs. Even his own temper may not be very good. Therefore, Xiaogu's performance with almost no emotional intelligence indicates that his mood is stable.
Soon a clean corpse was placed on the test platform.
When Xiaogu saw the corpse, it was like seeing a peerless treasure, so he put on plastic gloves and started working on it.
Seeing her impatient movements, Kai suddenly felt a cold air blowing on the back of his neck. Kai was also an old detective and had seen a lot of corpses, including some weird and even disgusting corpses, but for corpses,
The most Kai can do is be emotionally stable and not afraid.
He can't even maintain a normal mind. After all, this thing is really taboo. As a police officer, the desire to become big is never to kill people wherever he goes. On the contrary, the police long for peace in the world. When Kai used to watch Conan, he always felt that this
The comics have a bit of a wrong perspective. How can anyone want a case to happen? In order to satisfy their detective hobby, they want a case to happen? How crazy must one be to have such a weird idea? Those victims are no longer human beings?
Seeing Xiaogu like this, Kai's first reaction was to touch the pistol under his ribs. This is completely the state of a perverted murderer. The best thing to do is to capture her and throw her into a mental hospital.
.
Booth broke into a cold sweat when he saw Kai's actions.
He had been with Xiaogu for a long time, and he still didn't feel much about it, but when he saw Kai's actions, he remembered that he had a similar reaction when he first saw this girl.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Brother, calm down. Xiao Gu is just keen on research. He doesn't have any special ideas. Really, I can guarantee God!" Booth has seen how powerful Kai is. If Xiao Gu
If he looks like a murderer, then Kai is a real murderer. He participated in the entire battle of the Chicago Police Department, and he even recruited Kai on behalf of the FBI.
That day alone, more than fifty gangsters died under the gunshots!
Judging from this, Kai is worthy of being called a murderer. He has really done it.
Xiaogu is different. She just likes to study anthropology and human bones.
Kai looked at Booth and did not take back his action, but asked: "Did the FBI do any psychological testing on her?"
"I've done it! I've done it! Although her social skills are very poor, she doesn't have autism, and she doesn't have mania or violent tendencies. She is just a nerd. She has nothing wrong with her except for being a little lazy." In fact, the FBI really didn't give Xiaogu anything.
I have done testing and writing, and I am not fooling around. As for Xiaogu, it is even more impossible to stay. She is just not willing to waste time on things that she thinks are useless. It is a bit like a genius disease. Things that interest her can become extremely
He is talkative, but he cannot communicate with normal peers.
Kai slowly withdrew his hand from drawing the gun and chose to believe Booth.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yes, he was just frightened by Xiaogu's enthusiasm. Xiaogu is just an ordinary girl, how harmful can it be?
Soon, Xiao Gu began to describe the characteristics of the corpse using only the naked eye.
"For males, judging from the increase in costal cartilage ossification centers and the healing of the sternal manubrium and sternal body, the age of the corpse is approximately 30 to 35 years old."
When Xiaogu was talking, Kai unconsciously compared the information he had learned with what she said.
In archeology and forensic identification, there are many ways to use bones to determine gender, which can generally be divided into two categories: comparative observation and instrumental measurement. Small bones can accurately tell the age of a victim with the naked eye alone. This
This ability shows her professionalism, not long-term research, and she does not have the vision at all.
"There are multiple fractures all over the body. There are three gunshot wounds on the body. There are obvious bullet marks on the fifth rib on the left side. There are gunshot wounds on the left thigh and right arm. It is speculated that the cause of death is ischemic shock!"
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Didn't he drown?"
Kai interrupted, after all, the cause of his death was exactly the same as how gangsters executed traitors. In order to maintain a deterrent effect, they usually tied people to cement and drowned them alive.
"Three gunshot wounds. In addition to the non-fatal wound on the arm, the wound on the left chest is close to the heart, and the wound on the thigh is on the femoral artery. In this case, it was too late to drown him, and the bullet hit him
After that, he died within ten seconds at most." Xiaogu said very calmly.
"Okay, keep going!"
Never use your interests to challenge other people's expertise! Arguing with professionals is undoubtedly the stupidest thing to do.
Next, Xiaogu began to carefully examine the bullet marks.
"Are there any warheads?"
"No!"
Kai and Booth, two idle men, just watched Xiao Gu working there, unable to even put their mouths in words.
