Chapter 685 Bigamist
"Well, it should be said that we have an idea. According to the findings of the Hammerbeck forensics, before Kevin Carter arrived home, he had eaten almost exactly the same food as that prepared by his wife Deborah.
We just checked out Kevin's parking space, which is about half a block away from the apartment they live in. We walked back to the apartment from the parking lot, took the elevator upstairs and finally entered. It took at least fifteen minutes, because we had a A wild guess. "
Jack reached out to Stella and asked her to tell her the conclusion they had just reached.
"Judging from the ring and card, Kevin Carter's affair was not a simple one-night stand, but a long-term lover, and this lover is probably our mysterious female serial killer.
She knew Kevin's preferences and prepared similar meals, and given the level of digestion and the location of the apartment, we'd even venture to speculate that she likely lived nearby. "
As she spoke, she proudly took the roll of tape from Mike Taylor and shook it, "This explains how DNA is transferred. The two kissed before they separated, and the DNA of the mysterious lover was first transferred to Kevin's lips. on, and then transferred to the bitten bread.”
"Not a lover." Sheldon Hawke, a former forensic doctor and now a second-level CSI researcher, shook the test report in his hand, and what he said surprised everyone, "Kevin Carter is most likely a bigamist."
He took out a photo and said, "I found violet pollen on the chest of Kevin's coat. This kind of flower was not found in the deceased's apartment. Plus that peridot ring, what did you think of?"
A married person suddenly realized, "Violet flowers and peridot necklace are for the first wedding anniversary."
"Huh?" A question mark popped up on Jack's head, which seemed to involve his knowledge blind spot again.
Danny clapped his hands excitedly, "This beach boy is really a master of time management. He took Violet and his second wife to dinner to commemorate their first wedding anniversary.
After dinner, he excused himself as something urgent, maybe a business trip that had been agreed upon in advance. After hurriedly kissing her goodbye, he immediately came to his first wife's home, and deliberately acted like he was starving. "
"Hmm, it seems that the time management master's acting skills still need to be improved, but there is still a question, why is the DNA of the second wife appearing on the handle of the knife?" Mike Taylor raised the last question.
Everyone looked at each other, and countless movie plots had already flashed through Jack's mind. "Since the distance between his two homes is within 20 minutes' walk, maybe the two wives have already known each other through some way, and the second wife even came to visit, then Maybe she secretly put the ring and card into Kevin's coat on purpose?"
A scene appeared in front of everyone. A mysterious female killer was holding a murder weapon and looking fiercely at the back of another woman. After thinking for a moment, she put it down as if nothing had happened, and began to think about a plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
However, this reasoning is too dramatic and obviously cannot be bought by everyone. As Mike Taylor said, "It feels a bit far-fetched. Maybe you can improve it and put it into your next novel."
After speaking, he took the analysis report from a female researcher and looked at it. A smile appeared on his face, and he pulled out a picture from it and handed it to Jack and Danny.
"Our researchers analyzed the fibers on the deceased's shoes and socks and found that they originated from this kind of carpet, which may help you narrow down the search scope."
Danny frowned and looked at the red and yellow carpet pattern in the picture, with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "You can find cheap carpets like this everywhere, how do you narrow down the range?"
"Because researchers found that the carpet was coated with high concentrations of fluorodeoxyamine resin."
Mike Taylor's words still confused Danny, but Jack had already reached for the picture, rolled it into a roll and tapped his shoulder, "Let's go, what we are looking for is the new carpet that was just laid. The grease acts as a pesticide and will only remain on new carpets.”
"Let's go to the detention center again and interrogate Mrs. Carter again to see if she is hiding anything from us." Mike Taylor also said to Stella.
The four of them split up and Jack drove Danny to the crime scene. As expected, in the building next to the luxury apartment where the Carters lived, they saw a carpet with the same pattern as the picture.
Danny also went to the apartment manager to confirm that it was indeed a new carpet that had just been laid, so the painful process of sweeping the floor began.
The apartment building has 16 floors, with 4 elevators on each floor for a total of 12 households. Counting the 2 penthouses directly accessible by separate elevators, there are a total of 182 households.
Jack and Danny took the list of residents and knocked on the doors of these houses one by one, showing the mugshot of the deceased Kevin Carter and asking if anyone knew him.
"Sorry to bother you, do you know this person?"
"NYPD, excuse me, have you seen this guy?"
"Hello, do you know him?"
Going from the first floor to the sixth floor was not to mention hard work. I saw all kinds of life, including the fat old man wearing shorts with his hairy legs exposed, and the one wearing a rubber coat and holding a small leather suit in his hand. whipped.
"Why are you so anxious? I also want to ask her whether her bulge will bulge when she farts when she wears this outfit." Jack was really curious, after all, he had never seen such an outfit in real life in his previous life.
"I swear, if I see another person who comes out to answer the door with a naked butt, I will go crazy. I can't even remember the last time I did this kind of work. It seems that I was still a child at that time. Patrolman.”
Danny tried hard to control his temper. This kind of work is usually left to the patrol police, but who knows that the person they are looking for now is probably a perverted serial killer.
The other party is likely to hide the fact that they know the deceased. They need to observe the other party's immediate reaction while showing the photo of Kevin Carter, and there is a high chance that they will encounter danger.
Jack kept his hand on the pistol on his waist. "To be honest, the last time I did this kind of work was not a good memory. I was still a rookie and was ordered to search a place called the Bronson Building. It was actually a drug dealer's lair, and that was the first time I was shot, eh."
He suddenly got stuck mid-sentence, because the story that happened in the hospital was something he would never forget.
"It doesn't sound like a very nice story." Danny didn't pay attention to his expression and continued to knock on the door of the next apartment.
The door opened, and a blond beauty who looked to be in her early 20s stood at the door. Danny smiled naturally, "Sorry to interrupt you, I am Detective Regan, and this is Detective Tavole. Please meet me." Have you ever met this person?" As he spoke, he showed the photo in his hand.
Surprisingly, the blonde beauty admitted straightforwardly, "Of course, this is my husband."
