By the time the police arrived at the scene of the "car accident", it was already half an hour later.
"Did you find anything?" A burly man in casual clothes got out of the car and asked the policeman in police uniform.
His name is Dietrich, and he is the lieutenant sergeant of the Third Precinct of the North District of Chicago. As a federal country, the United States has not had a unified police rank system since its founding, and it is very common for military ranks and police ranks to be mixed.
The current Chicago area is not as big as it will be in the future, so there are only 13 branches now.
Dietrich, the lieutenant sergeant, is already the second-in-command of the Third Precinct, which is considered a high-ranking position.
"There were only some blood stains, ruts, footprints and some bloody projectiles at the scene, which should be deer hunting bullets, but there were no eggshells, and no car or body was found. What's very strange is that there were clearly traces of two cars at the scene, but
We only found the rut where one car had left, and the other car seemed to have never existed." The policeman on the side said with a somewhat unsightly expression.
"Where are the witnesses?" Lieutenant Dietrich asked.
"We found the person who called the police, but the person only saw a figure holding a gun from a distance and didn't dare to approach at all, so he didn't even know whether the murderer was a man or a woman." The policeman sighed helplessly.
Lieutenant Dietrich nodded upon hearing this, understanding why the policeman sighed.
There is no body, no murder weapon, no witnesses, and not even any decent evidence. In this era when detection methods are still relatively scarce, it is basically an unsolved case.
"Just clean up and withdraw. I will go and talk to the director." After checking the situation at the scene, Dietrich ordered the team to withdraw. There are too many similar unsolved cases these days, and the police are not willing to spend too much time.
Put more energy into this aspect.
At the same time, the police were searching to no avail and had no choice but to close the team.
In Evanston, Josie, who had changed her clothes, was driving the Lincoln Continental that Margot helped buy, and Shi Shiran's had just arrived home.
Seeing Packard parked in front of his house, Josie knew that Margot was at his home now... Josie had left a spare key for her when they moved.
"How's it going?" Josie just got out of the car, and Tommy next door happened to come out of the house. After seeing Josie, he came over and asked.
"A small problem has been solved. Thank you for your reminder." Qiao Xi replied.
Of course, it's impossible to say how exactly it will be solved.
Tommy was also well aware of the truth, so he didn't ask any more questions. He accepted Josie's thanks calmly, nodded and turned back to the house.
Watching Tommy enter the room, Josie breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, if you observe carefully, you will find that his hands are still trembling slightly.
The reason is simple, he killed someone.
This is his first time killing someone.
The scene of a bullet hitting a person and blood and flesh flying everywhere still lingered in his mind.
Even the bloody body, the murder weapon shotgun, the two vehicles involved, and other evidence were all lying quietly in the system warehouse.
There is no mysterious BT pleasure.
There isn't much fear either.
Some are just a little nervous and confused...
Qiao Xi still doesn't understand why he was able to shoot so decisively and handle the scene so calmly.
"Josie, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time." Just when Josie was in a daze, Margot opened the door and came out. Seeing him dazed at the door, she immediately asked a little strangely.
Then she saw Qiao Xi looking at him a little strangely.
"What's wrong? My makeup is off?" Margot felt a little uncomfortable when Josie looked at her.
Then he only had time to let out a exclamation before he was carried into the house by Qiao Xi.
By the time Margot came to her senses again, she was already lying on the big bed in the bedroom with no clothes on.
Lying in Josie's arms and looking at his handsome, slightly immature face, Margot felt strange and complicated in her heart.
But...it's also very enjoyable.
This was something she had never experienced from Tony Windis.
"Your husband sent someone to follow you for a day and took a lot of photos." Josie replied lightly while caressing Margot's body.
No wonder some people say that women are the best emotional regulators.
After some wild lingering, the negative emotions accumulated in him were completely released and he regained his original calmness.
Then he told Margot about Tony Windis sending people to follow him.
Josie is not in the habit of being an unsung hero.
Since you have paid, you must say it, otherwise the devil knows what you have done.
Of course, I skipped the murder, and just said that I paid off the stalker.
"What? How dare he?" After hearing what Josie said, Margot lost her composure and said angrily.
"Haha, why don't you dare? Not only does he dare to send people to follow you, he even dares to send people to kill you. Otherwise, will he be kicked out by you after the divorce?" Qiao Xi said with a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth. Of course, this was sarcasm.
It was Tony Windis, not Margot next to him. "I have to say that as far as this matter is concerned, he is really decisive. As long as you die, your huge wealth will belong to him."
Already."
But why did Josie know about Tony Windis's plan?
You must know that Joe Barbaro was only implementing the first step of Tony Windis's tracking plan before, and the follow-up plan was not told to Joe Barbaro at all.
So Josie should have no idea that Tony Windis wanted to kill Margot.
So why did Josie say that?
Because just when he was lingering with Margot, Josie finally remembered where the familiar feeling when he first met Margot came from.
Margot, Margot, daughter of a wealthy family.
Tony, Tony, tennis star.
This is a character from the Hitchcock movie, Telephone Murder.
The reason why Josie knew about this movie was because of the actress who played Margot, Grace Kelly!
When talking about the famous Hollywood female stars of the 1950s, most people's first thought is either Audrey Hepburn or Marilyn Monroe.
But in fact, in the 1950s, there was a female movie star of the same age who was even more popular than these two.
This person is Grace Kelly.
The reason why she is not as well-known in later generations as the other two is very simple.
Because after becoming famous, this actress had just entered her peak period when she retired and married into the Monaco royal family and became a legendary princess.
In the minds of the Monaco people, her existence is no less than Diana's status in the minds of the British.
It's just that Qiao Xi only watched such a movie by chance and was not very impressed, so he couldn't remember it for a long time.
However, after thinking about it, Qiao Xi finally realized that the time he traveled through might not be the World War II period in the original world, but a parallel world.
And the current situation is very different from the situation in the movie.
For example, the movie is set in London, England, not Chicago.
In addition, there is also a very important character missing, that is Margot's writer lover Mark in the movie.
But when Josie thinks about his current relationship with Margo...it seems like he has taken this guy's place.
Also, the movie takes place in the early 1950s, which is more than ten years later than now.
