Chatty Hollywood

"There was a small amount of mud on the corpse's clothes. It didn't look like it had been buried, but it seemed to have been stored in a damp and dark place. After detailed trace element analysis, no valuable clues were found."

"However, by checking the pollen left on the clothing of the deceased, it can be determined that it belongs to the woodland plants of the Rocky Mountains. More detailed results can only be determined after on-site inspection."

"The scars on the surface of the corpse should all be caused after death. I can be sure of this without our lovely old forensic doctor Grandpa Duck's inspection."

"No fingerprints were found on the iron arrow inserted into the corpse. It seems that the person who used it was very careful."

"The deceased had sex before his death. After all, even if it has dried, there are still residues on the mouth."

"The DNA of another woman was found in the residue, and after a database comparison, it belonged to Eliza Kunis. She was an actress who was convicted of indecent publicity for drunkenly stripping and urinating in public. , so there are criminal records and DNA samples left. At present, Elisa Kunis has disappeared."

"Several hairs that did not belong to him were also found on the clothes of the deceased. After comparing with the DNA database, it was found that one of them belonged to a middle-aged man named Serris Mueller, who had a record for robbery with a gun. It is also missing now. The owner of the other hair is unknown."

"After Dake's detailed examination, the cause of death of the deceased is still not determined. On the surface, it seems that the death was caused by organ failure, similar to a natural death. But all the organs in the whole body are failing at the same time, which is too abnormal!"

"The time of death cannot be determined. Although it can be determined that it has been a period of time, the body has obviously been preserved and processed, making it difficult to determine the specific time."

"..."

Thinking back on her test results, Abby couldn't help but feel a little frustrated—although there seemed to be many clues, the unknown cause of death and time of death made Abby realize that following those clues to trace would probably be futile. up.

"Speaking of which, the deceased is a director. In a few months, there will be a horror film called "Fatal Turns", which is said to be related to him."

Abby starts to wonder if she should check out the movie when the time comes.

"It's just who should I go with? Gibbs ruled it out, Kate is a bit far away, and the rest are good housemate McGee and movie lover Tony DiNozzo..."

*************

Abby's best friend Kate Todd isn't in the same mood.

This year, due to personal relationship issues, she had to resign from the President's Secret Service for more than two years. Although Gibbs, Abby's boss, had sent her an invitation, she thought twice, but did not accept the invitation from NCIS. Instead, he chose the West Coast Division of the FBI.

"I want to stay away from this sad place on the East Coast!"

This is how she explained it to Gibbs at the time, and the other party also expressed understanding.

However, although she did not become Gibbs' subordinate, she still became good friends with Gibbs' Abby.

However, in this case, it seems that there is not much Abby can do to help her. No way, who let me encounter such a bizarre case when I first started working in the FBI——

After the film director Alan McElroy disappeared for many days, his body was dumped in the filming location of his crew, Vians Valley near Los Angeles, with iron arrows very similar to the props of the crew stuck in his body.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like the plot in a movie!

When she inspected the scene yesterday, she found that it was definitely not the scene of the crime, but just a scene of dumping the corpse. More importantly, neither footprints nor traces of vehicles such as ruts were found near the site.

This is very unreasonable. After all, the corpse is not a very light thing. If you want to throw the corpse without leaving any traces, it is the same as the so-called secret room murder case.

Almost impossible.

In desperation, she had no choice but to turn to forensic and forensic personnel, and specifically asked Abby on the east coast for help—after all, she was new to the FBI, and she was not very confident about the level of forensic personnel here.

The results proved that the level of the FBI's forensic personnel was no worse than that of Abby, but the problem was that even the cause and time of death could not be determined, so how useful would the other clues provided be?

"But it's better to have clues than no clues!"

Kate comforted herself in this way, but the subsequent investigation results proved that her hunch was correct——

The Eliza Kunis who was found to have had sex with the deceased Allen disappeared together with Allen, and the place of disappearance was in Vianers Valley. This is documented by the LAPD.

The hair that did not belong to Allen was found on his body. Although only one Serris Mueller was compared, after investigation, it was found that this person was also a missing person, and the place where he was last seen was also Viales Valley.

Moreover, after consulting the files, Kate found that there seemed to be many cases of disappearances in the Vians Valley area in recent years. Could there be any connection?

This case was handed over to the FBI by the Los Angeles Police Department. Did they discover something in advance and thought that the case would be troublesome later, so they deliberately dumped the blame on themselves?

Kate felt that the line of extension forensic evidence seemed to be unable to find anything for a while, but——

"The crew of "Fatal Turning", do they have anything to do with this incident?"

Seeing today's "Los Angeles Post" also published news about this case, and also specifically mentioned the name of the movie "Fatal Turn", she immediately realized that this should be a deliberate hype by the producer .

Kate, who was born in the President's Secret Service, has higher media sensitivity than ordinary agents, and she realizes that there is a pair of driving forces behind it. Then the question is, will the owner of these pushing hands know something that he doesn't know?

Kate decided to ask Anthony Westwood, the producer of the film, but—

"I have already said what I should say in the media. Although I can say it again, I don't think it will provide any help to the detection of the case."

Westwood's attitude can be said to be very cooperative or very uncooperative. The key is that Kate can see that he is happy to contribute to this incident.

"Then can you please keep the investigation and details of this case confidential?"

In order not to be harassed by some tabloid reporters in the future, Kate still hopes to let the other party stop.

"This is impossible!"

——As a result, it was rejected as expected. Moreover, the other party's reason is awe-inspiring.

"You know, we are entertainment practitioners. The nature of the industry determines that we cannot stop those reporters by relying on privacy. Besides, it is the duty of the media to reveal the truth to the public."

- Shit! ! You just want to pick up the opportunity to hype your movie!

Kate cursed in her heart, but she had no choice but to continue asking her own questions.

"So, can you put me in touch with Mr. Charlotte Booth, the current director of this film?"

"Well, it's best not to do it in the near future. Charlotte is busy with the post-production and editing of the film. Interrupting him at this time will affect the release of our film. If you have any questions, just ask me directly!"

As soon as Mr. Producer said this, Kate's eyes lit up.
