Chapter 53 The New Department【Please recommend for collection】

"Perhaps this is the weirdest part."

The voice of the forensic doctor fell.

A slightly hoarse voice sounded immediately, and the assistant forensic doctor looked up and saw a man and a woman appearing at the crime scene.

"who are you?"

Seeing the two people who broke into the scene, the police detective stood up and frowned.

"FBI, this case is now under our control."

Amidst the police detective's questioning, the Asian man took out his ID and said with a blank expression.

"In fact, it should be a cooperative investigation."

Eyes fell on Harvey's smiling corpse, Amanda corrected Detective Zhou.

At the same time, it also eased the original indignant expression on the opposite police detective's face.

As an agent transferred from the Texas Mounted Police Division headquarters to the new federal department, Amanda has not yet acquired the FBI's domineering posture.

What's more, as a special new department that has just been established under the executive order signed by the new president, BSI's personnel structure has not yet been perfected, and its functions have not yet been clearly defined. Many investigations must rely on local authorities. police force to assist.

After being reminded by Amanda, Agent Zhou realized that he was no longer an FBI agent.

Even when exercising investigative powers to the outside world, he still used the name of the FBI as a cover for the special department.

However, many practical responsibilities have been de facto separated from the FBI, especially in terms of staffing.

The FBI has been relentlessly holding on to it, which has led to a difficult trend in the early stage of BSI's preparation work, so it has to deploy police resources from various places, and Amanda, as the first in the Texas incident, The policemen who came into contact with the wolf girl and the witcher were undoubtedly transferred to the new department.

Neither the FBI nor the newly formed BSI has much experience with paranormal cases.

Therefore, the existence of Amanda naturally became a bit more important.

"You don't mind if I step in to see what happened to the dead man, detective?"

His eyes swept over Detective Zhou and landed on Amanda in front of him. After a few seconds of silence, the detective finally chose to take a few steps back to make way.

"Thank you."

Thanking the police detective, Amanda grabbed her long hair with one hand and tied it into a simple ponytail. At the same time, she squatted down and looked at the expression on Harvey's face, and frowned and smelled the surroundings: "There are dead people How are you physically?"

"It's not finished yet..."

Facing Amanda's question, the assistant forensic doctor glanced at the police detective beside him, and then replied.

"The specific autopsy will not be confirmed until after tomorrow's forensic investigation. I just came here to confirm the death and whether to define this death as a murder case."

As an assistant medical examiner, he didn't do much.

While listening to the assistant forensic doctor's answer, Amanda's eyes swept around the crime scene, and finally landed on a place not far from the dead.

"Now, you can confirm that it was a murder, sir."

Hearing Amanda's words, the assistant forensic doctor's expression froze for a moment, and the police detective on the side also showed a surprised expression.

Amanda, on the other hand, ignored the reactions on the faces of the people around her, stepped to the broken glass, picked up a piece of glass and smelled it.

"I don't think that a drunk guy who was still drinking at night will suddenly collapse on the street without warning, and die with a smile on his face."

……

"I thought you'd sleep a little longer, screenwriter Allen?"

hotel restaurant.

Looking at Zhao Yuan who got up early in the morning to eat breakfast.

Ed O'Neill, who plays Jay Pritchett in "Modern Family," looks surprised.

During the carnival last night, he watched Zhao Yuan drink a lot of wine, and originally thought that he would wake up at noon like most people in the play.

"Some can't sleep."

He came to Ed O'Neill's table with a plate and sat down, Zhao Yuan replied with a smile.

"I can understand that the start of filming of a new drama always makes people a little excited and uneasy."

Nodded, as a veteran actor, Ed O'Neill has performed wonderfully in many movies and TV series, so it is natural to attribute Zhao Yuan's early rise to his nervousness about the TV series "Modern Family".

Regarding this, Zhao Yuan smiled noncommittally.

His eyes subconsciously fell on the broken data panel in front of him.

He was indeed a little excited about the script, but it wasn't the play Ed O'Neill was talking about.

……

"Did you know that Harvey is dead?"

"I don't know him well."

"He's a jerk!"

In the bar, several guests were discussing the news of the bearded death.

"I heard that Harvey looked a little weird before he died."

"He died laughing."

"How is this possible? I thought he was shot in the head."

……

"Harvey Cruise?"

The bar, the boss's office.

Looking at the photo that he claimed to be an FBI agent in front of him, the boss looked at the smiling face on it and said: "Listen to the name, I don't have any impression yet, but I do know the guy in the photo, he is a complete jerk .”

"I have heard this from others more than once."

Looking at the boss, Detective Zhou made inquiries while observing the changes in the expression on the boss's face.

"Except for that."

"Like I said, I don't know much about this guy called Harvey Cruise."

"However, as far as I know, he once had a confrontation with you in the bar about the bill."

"So I said, he's a jerk."

Handing the photo back to Detective Zhou in front of him, the bar owner continued: "I run a bar, and I always meet jerk customers like him, but you can't suspect that I killed him just because of this." Yes, if this is the case, then more than half of the guests in the entire bar may be like him."

Detective Zhou: "May I take this as your criminal declaration?"

The boss hurriedly said: "This is just a joke, just a joke!"

Detective Zhou said blankly: "This is not funny at all."

"What's the stage outside the bar for?"

Looking away from the guests coming and going in the bar, Amanda turned to ask the boss.

"Well, that's just a place for sideshows..."

Hearing Amanda's stage, the boss glanced up at the direction of the bar's stage, and said immediately.

"You know, business has been sluggish recently, so I need to do something to attract customers."

Hearing the boss's answer, Amanda turned her head thoughtfully and glanced in the direction of the bar stage.

"The autopsy report is out."

And just at this time, in the office, Agent Zhou received a call.

He turned to Amanda and said.

　Thank you for the strange 100 starting point reward.
