Chapter 713 A fun plot?
"The name of the deceased was Sophie Ronson, 32 years old. She was one of the bridesmaids who flew from Los Angeles to attend the wedding. Ronson did not go to do makeup and hair this morning, so the bride came to find her, and the cleaner helped open the door. As a result, They found her in the closet.”
When Jack was examining the body, Esposito, who was a little unhappy because of the female forensic doctor's slightly exaggerated reaction, briefly introduced the situation.
I have the impression that he and medical examiner Lanny had an underground relationship for a period of time. I don't know if they have started or broken up now. It is normal to have this kind of behavior.
Forensic doctor Lanny's reaction was much more normal after she found out that Jack was Hannah's boyfriend. At this time, looking at Jack who was examining the body, there was only curiosity in her eyes. After all, the bossy FBI had seen many times, and they would fight for the life of forensic doctors as soon as they arrived at the crime scene. This is the first time I've seen him.
"The deceased had cyanosis on his lips and fingernails, spot-like bleeding on the facial skin and conjunctival membrane of the eyes, and subcutaneous bleeding on the neck. The most important thing is that there were obvious fractures of the laryngeal cartilage and hyoid bone. Therefore, the cause of death can be preliminarily determined to be mechanical asphyxia, and it was Strangling to death."
Before Jack finished speaking, everyone looked at the medical examiner Lanny, who shrugged, indicating that what he said was fine.
"What about the time of death?" Beckett seemed to find it interesting and continued to ask.
"Uh." Jack first checked the soles of the corpse, then lifted it up slightly to check the back, and finally tried to move the corpse's hands and feet. "Judging only from the spots and rigor mortis, I estimate that he arrived at 3 a.m. Around 5 o’clock.”
Then he pointed to the left earlobe of the deceased, "An earring should have been pulled off here, and there is a laceration on the earlobe. In addition, there are some strange abrasions on the back of the body, which should have been caused before death. The shape is a bit strange."
Kevin nodded and said, "We searched the entire room and did not find the earring. We have printed a photo of the earring on her right ear and searched throughout the hotel."
Forensic doctor Lanny stood up and took off her rubber gloves, rolled her eyes, "It seems like I don't have anything to do here."
Of course this was a joke, and the body had to be sent back to the medical examiner's office for a detailed autopsy, such as confirming those strange abrasions on the back, but Jack did say all the judgments the medical examiner could make at the scene.
Next is the time for the police detectives to get busy. The stack of A4 papers in Esposito's hand is the guest list of the hotel employees who came to attend the wedding. Surveillance videos are still being retrieved, but only the elevators, corridors and corridors have surveillance cameras. None are installed.
Soon a police officer came to report that all the guests, bride and groom who came to attend the wedding were gathered in the bar, so everyone moved there.
The bride in a white wedding dress was facing away from everyone and talking to two other girls in lavender bridesmaid dresses. It seemed that the bridesmaids were comforting her.
Jack noticed that Cassel paused when he walked into the bar, and there was a strange look on his face, as if he was remembering something.
"What's the name of that unlucky bride?" Hearing his question, Kevin opened the list in his hand, "Well, her name is."
Just then the two bridesmaids left, the bride just turned around to face everyone, and then Kevin and Cassel read the same name at the same time.
".Keira."
"Keira?"
The bride looked at Cassel in disbelief, her expression changing instantly. The corseted wedding dress specially designed to reveal her figure clearly showed her excitement. Her towering chest rose and fell violently several times, and her voice seemed to be murmuring, "Rick? Rick Castle?"
Beckett looked at the bride and then at Cassel, with a puzzled look on his face, "You two know each other?"
Cassel's expression was dull, as if he had been caught in some memories for a moment, and he spat out a few words, "This is far more than just acquaintance."
——
The bride, or the lady who should be called Kayla now, looks to be about the same age as Cassel, in her early thirties, a very beautiful and elegant white woman. Uh, girl? Anyway, I'm not married, so I can probably describe it this way.
At this moment, she walked up to Cassel, excited and even a little incoherent, but it was not the excitement that a female fan would have when seeing a famous writer. It was more like an old friend meeting again, or to be accurately described by a psychological expert present, It was like meeting my first love after ten years of separation.
"I've read some reports that you are now helping the police solve crimes, but I never dreamed that my God, how long has it been since we last met?"
"It's been too long." Cassell seemed to be still stuck in memories and couldn't extricate himself, with a smile on his lips, his eyes fixed on the girl in front of him without blinking, and his voice sounded like he was talking in his sleep.
Jack looked at the expressions of the two of them, and then looked at Beckett who was frozen in place and didn't know what expression to make. A familiar melody from his previous life floated in his heart, "I should be under the car, not in the car."
Well, maybe it’s just that his imagination is too rich. With the distance between Beckett and Cassel now, it’s still too early to tell. It will take several years at least for this pair of happy enemies, so at this moment, Beckett has at most one Just a little bit sour.
Although there was no Shura field to be seen, it was quite interesting to just watch Cassel’s gossip. In fact, it was not only Jack who loved watching it, but Kevin and Esposito also watched it without even taking a breath.
At this time, the conversation between the two was still continuing. Kayla regained some composure, with a bright smile on her face, "You really don't seem to have changed at all."
Cassel also had a smile on his lips, "And you look even more beautiful."
Hiss The melon eaters all took a breath of cold air, learning and learning.
Keira clutched her chest and was still so amused that she literally said, "You are always so talkative. This is really, just like a dream."
But her expression gradually became a little confused, "Today was supposed to be my wedding day, but you showed up instead."
Seeing this scene, the eyebrows of the melon eaters almost flew up. Will there be any exciting plot next?
"Aren't you all idle and have nothing to do?" Beckett finally couldn't stand the guys who were winking at her. She couldn't do anything about Jack, but Kevin and Esposito still belonged to her senior position. The detective is in charge.
"I'm going to ask those wedding guests." Esposito hesitated.
"I'll go too." Kevin was even more frightened and turned around and left after him.
At this time, Beckett's cell phone beeped twice. She picked up the phone, looked at it, and said to Cassel, "Lanny said there was a new discovery."
"I'll be there in a moment." Cassel didn't even look at her, his eyes always stayed on the bride Keira's face.
Beckett's eyes moved back and forth between the two people who were looking at each other "affectionately", and finally he tilted his head noncommittally, "OK."
"Uh, I'm with you." Seeing that the melon-eating crowd had dispersed and Shura Field couldn't perform anymore, Jack didn't intend to stay here alone to eat dog food, so he decided to follow Beckett to see where the female forensic doctor was. What a new discovery.
