Chapter 115 The scene(1/2)
Luke entered the eucalyptus discovery site, surrounded by a lot of photographic equipment and a temporary wooden house on the east side.
There was a large pit in the middle, and a male body was half-buried at the bottom. His face was pale, and dark red blood could be faintly seen on his neck.
"Marcus, go find the reporter." Luke took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the pit and the surrounding scene.
Soon, a white man was brought over. Luke looked at the man and asked, "What is your name?"
"I am Crapo Shino, the assistant director of this movie, and also the reporter."
"How did you find this body?"
"Huh..." Crapo Shino sighed, "I came to the studio this morning to inspect the props for today's shooting. I found that the big hole used for filming had been filled in, so I asked someone to dig it out.
Who knew... a body was dug up. I was standing on the edge and was almost scared to death."
"Do you know the people in the pit?"
"Yes, Lucas Sostre, the star of this movie, he just filmed the scene of being buried alive last night. I didn't expect...
It’s really hard to believe that this movie screwed up and we were screwed.”
Luke pointed to the wooden house nearby, "What is that house used for?"
Crapo Shino replied, "The filming background will also be used as a temporary dressing room for the actors."
Luke walked into the wooden house and looked at the wooden tables, wooden chairs, and wooden beds. Everything was made of uncut logs.
It's a bit similar to the cabin in the wilderness that Luke had seen.
Only a few iron boxes belong to modern handicrafts.
"Luke, I found something here." Xiao Hei's voice sounded outside.
Luke walked over, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Hei pointed to the corner of the big pit.
Luke took a closer look and saw a shiny object on the calf of the corpse, half-buried by the soil, like a lady's bracelet.
Luke took a few photos, put on his gloves, lay on the ground and picked up the bracelet from the pit.
A very exquisite diamond bracelet for women.
"Wow, this shiny thing doesn't look cheap." Xiao Hei admired.
Luke took a closer look and saw that it should be a silver or platinum chain with some diamonds embedded in it.
These broken diamonds are not valuable, but they are just hyped up by diamond dealers. As for the brand and production premium, he has no idea, and he is not very good at women's jewelry.
Luke held up the diamond bracelet for the assistant director to see, "Do you know whose bracelet this is?"
Assistant director Crapo Shino's eyes flickered and he hesitated for a while, "Not sure."
"Lying to the police is not good practice."
"I really don't know."
Luke took out a pen and a notepad the size of a cigarette box, and wrote the name Crapo Shino.
Crapo Xino glanced at it and panicked, "Why? Why did you write my name?"
"Do you know why?" Although Luke knew that the other party might not be telling the truth, he had no evidence.
Crapo Xinuo opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing more.
Subsequently, the survey team and forensic doctors came to the scene.
The survey team first inspected the surrounding scene, took photos, and then assisted the forensic doctor to get the body out of the pit.
Luke can also see the condition of the body more clearly.
The man's buried body was stained with blood, there were wounds on his forehead and left cheek, his hands were tied, and there was a dagger stuck behind his neck, which looked like fatal injuries.
Xiao Hei also came over and took a look, "Why is there scars on his forehead and left face, but no scars on the right cheek?"
Luke analyzed the situation and said, "The deceased should have tried to resist before being buried in the pit, but his hands were tied and he was unable to form effective resistance.
I personally feel that he probably used his teeth as an offensive weapon, and his forehead and left cheek were all defensive wounds."
Luke did a test, asking Xiao Hei to bite him with his hands behind his back. Luke blocked it with his left hand, and Xiao Hei turned his head and bit his left arm.
He used the pen as a dagger. First he instinctively hit his forehead and left cheek with the tail of the dagger, and finally inserted the tip of the dagger into the back of his neck.
Luke deduced the incident based on the wound of the deceased.
It can also be used to simulate eucalyptus hair.
Of course, this process cannot be completely accurate, but it can roughly predict the behavior of the murderer and the victim.
Xiao Hei said, "If your guess is correct and the deceased bit the murderer before his death, then the murderer's DNA may be collected from his mouth."
Luke added, "It's possible that the murderer may have left teeth marks on him.
Of course, there is another possibility that the deceased did not resist, but just knelt there to be beaten and then stabbed to death, so it would be difficult to leave any valid evidence."
While the two were talking, Susan brought someone over and asked, "Have you found anything?"
"Yes." Luke briefly explained the situation at the scene and his analysis.
Finally, he added, "We also found a diamond bracelet in the pit."
Susan picked it up and looked at it, "This brand is not cheap. Do you know who it belongs to?"
"It's not clear yet, and we are preparing to investigate."
"What are you waiting for?"
Luke looked at Crapo Shino who was standing aside, "Assistant director, help gather people together. I want to ask questions one by one. There are so many people here who should know something."
The assistant director frowned and said, "If doing this is likely to cause confusion among the crew, I don't think it's a good idea."
Luke shrugged, "That's not what I want to consider. My goal is to find the owner of the bracelet."
"OK, let me tell you, Courtney Bass, I have seen her wearing this diamond bracelet."
"She is also on the crew?"
"Yes, she is the heroine of this movie."
"What's the name of the movie?"
"Gone Girl."
Luke pointed to the dagger on the deceased's neck again, "Do you recognize that dagger?"
"Yes." The assistant director sighed softly, "If I read it correctly, it should be a shooting prop of the crew."
Luke thought about something and asked, "I remember you said before that Lucas filmed a similar scene last night and I want to see the content of the filming."
"I can't make the decision on this. Do I need to ask the producer and director for instructions?"
"Waiting for your good news." Luke finished and asked the assistant director to leave.
He took Xiao Hei with him to find the movie heroine Courtney Bass.
On the way, Xiao Hei kept tinkering with his cell phone and said, "Luke, I looked up this movie.
The male protagonist Lucas, the female protagonist Courtney, well... the female protagonist is quite hot.
I like."
Luke smiled and said, "Is there any girl you don't like?"
"I like it, and so does the deceased."
"What's the meaning?"
"It is said on the Internet that these two people got together because of their love for drama. This is why I like the entertainment industry, hehe." Xiao Heijian said with a smile.
Luke shook his head, "You chose the wrong career."
Soon, the two found the heroine Courtney Bass.
Courtney Bass looks a bit South American and has a plump figure, which is the type that Xiao Hei likes.
Xiao Hei's eyes kept glancing at her.
"Are you Miss Courtney Bass?"
"it's me."
"I'm Detective Luke, can I have a few words with you?"
Courtney Bass asked, "Is Lucas really dead?"
"I heard that you two have a good relationship, haven't you come over to have a look?"
"When I arrived, the police had already enforced martial law and it was difficult to get through. I bought it by chance. It was really scary. I never thought that the movie would actually come true."
"You also participated in the movie shooting last night?"
"Yes."
"How is Lucas' condition? Is there anything abnormal?"
