Chapter Fifty-Six Witches, Corpses Missing, Surveillance Glitches

Of course, there will be no surveillance in this old-fashioned apartment building.

The only security measure in the apartment building is an old lady who guards the door. She is probably in her 60s and looks in good spirits.

But Lu Ke felt that this one must not have the terrifying force of Granny Lucy.

Selena went over and showed the police badge wallet that the old lady had only after she got it. This wallet has a police badge on one side and a certificate on the other side. It is one of the most commonly used props in plain clothes.

The old grandmother's expression was calm, and she was not surprised at all. When she heard that the two asked for the door key of the room where the crime happened, she took one from behind: "I have this one, remember to return it when I'm done."

Selena smiled and said thank you.

The two climb the stairs to the third floor.

This old-fashioned apartment doesn't even have an elevator.

Walking to room 305 on the third floor, there was a seal on the door. Selena took off the seal and opened the door with a key.

The two enter the door.

The forensic department has already come here, so the two of them don't need to wear shoe covers or the like, as long as they don't move around.

Looking at the human figure drawn by the white line on the ground, Lu Ke said, "Look here, I'll take a look at the bedroom."

Selena nodded, and Lu Ke entered the bedroom.

The body was found in the living room, and the bedroom was not like the first scene, so it was basically kept as it was.

Lu Ke looked at the bedroom and couldn't help raising the volume slightly: "Selena."

Selena came over and looked at the situation in the bedroom with horror.

"Have you checked this type of victim before?" Lu Ke looked at Selena with a delicate expression.

Selena shook her head: "How is that possible. Few people believe in this kind of Shinto Taoism in the town."

"Can you recognize the origin of these things?" Lu Ke continued to ask.

Selena glanced around and shook her head: "There are only a few voodoo-like things. Other things are not, but they are definitely not serious beliefs."

Lu Ke nodded: "Well, it seems that our victim this time is a witch."

During the conversation between the two, Lu Ke's cell phone rang. After he connected, he listened for a while, and said, "Got it, I'll go over immediately", and hung up the phone.

Selena: "What's the matter?"

Lu Ke: "Let's go, the corpse of our witch... is gone."

Selena: "What?"

She went downstairs and returned the key to the old lady who was the doorman. She also handed the old lady a business card, telling the old lady if there was a situation or something, she could call the above number before they went out and got into the car.

Selena asked, "What happened? How did the witch disappear?"

Lu Ke: "...Well, actually, the forensic doctor wanted to go to the toilet temporarily before giving her an autopsy, but when he came back, he found that the body was gone."

Selena: "What about monitoring?"

Lu Ke: "I don't know. It's up to us to see it ourselves. It was Berwick's call just now. Let's take this case by the way. After all, the victim's body is missing, and it's probably related to her murder."

Selena was disappointed: "Ah, I thought she was suddenly resurrected and teleported away with magic."

Lu Ke: "...If that's the case, I think we might have to hand over the case."

Selena snorted: "To whom? FBI?"

Lu Ke's expression was a little subtle: "No, maybe it's S.H.I.E.L.D."

Selena wondered: "What game?"

Lu Ke: "Oh, nothing, just concentrate on driving."

Arriving at the forensic center in Houston, Lu Ke and the two went in with their police officer IDs.

When I got to the morgue, I found a forensic doctor named Tom and explained the purpose of his visit.

This Tom is a middle-aged white man, but he feels a little feminine, saying that Kiriki is exaggerated, but it does feel a little soft.

Even in the face of Lu Ke, the two police detectives who were very rookie at first glance,

He didn't show any toughness, but honestly told the process again.

In fact, there is nothing to say. The sentence Lu Ke heard from Berrick just now is almost the same as what Tom said for three minutes.

When he went to work in the morning, he drank a cup of coffee before work, rushed to the toilet, and came back to find that the body on the autopsy table was missing.

Lu Ke didn't say a word, and let Selena communicate with Tom forensic doctor.

The forensic doctor is also a man, and it is definitely more pleasant to confront a gentle and soft-spoken beauty than to confront a black-faced man.

"What about monitoring?"

Tom: "...There was a problem last night. Someone came to fix it this morning, but it didn't fix it."

Lu Ke suddenly interrupted: "Who will fix it?"

Tom was stunned, this was the first time that Lu Ke asked a question.

But he still answered honestly: "I don't know, this matter is managed by the logistics department, you can ask."

Selena shoved the small notebook she recorded into her pocket, smiling like a flower, "Thank you for your cooperation, Tom Forensic."

Forensic Tom felt his eyes were a little flowery, as if he was flashed by the beautiful smile, but Mumu nodded: "Ah, no... It's nothing, it should be."

Then he watched the big Latino beauty make a goodbye gesture to him, pushed the door open and left. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Selena went out, quickened a few steps, and caught up with Lu Ke: "What do you think?"

Lu Ke: "It's a bit of a coincidence to ask about surveillance first. Do you remember what Robert often told us?"

Selena tilted her head: "When solving a case, many coincidences are not coincidences?"

Lu Ke nodded: "So, let's see what the problem is with the monitoring."

Selena asked the two people, found the logistics department, and explained her purpose.

The person in charge here is a policewoman, and Selena resolutely stepped down and let Lu Ke take the top.

The two had a tacit understanding.

Generally speaking, in the face of men who are not in danger, Selena will speak up, and in the face of middle-aged and elderly women, of course, Lu Ke will come forward. Who makes his face really tender.

Lu Ke was still smiling, explaining his purpose.

The policewoman looked at the big boy in front of him. He was fair-skinned and healthy, with straight facial features and a sunny smile. He was not stunning, but it was easy for people to feel intimacy.

After seeing the police officer's card, she reported the name of the company.

Wells-Dalit Electronic Communications.

This is the name of the company responsible for maintaining the surveillance in this building. Lu Ke borrowed the landline of the Women's Police Department and dialed that number directly.

After revealing his identity, he asked a few questions, and after waiting for a while, he looked strange when he heard the answer there.

After hanging up the phone, he thanked the policewoman again before turning around and leaving.

Selena: "What's going on?"

Lu Ke: "The front desk of that company told me that they didn't receive a call from the authentication center yesterday, and they didn't send maintenance personnel this morning."

Selena: "Huh?"

Lu Ke hehe: "Interesting, let's..."
