The Daily Life of American Drama Detective

Chapter 219 The Shameless Man in Chicago

"Don't worry."

Seeing that Chuck was silent, Peggy said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with this. You're not afraid of her sleepwalking. Just give her less stimulation. And I'm also studying the effect of hypnosis..."

"Stop experimenting on Monica!"

Chuck warned.

"Know it."

Peggy smiled and agreed: "I am attending Professor Rostow Daniel's psychological hypnosis class. There are many people who like hypnosis who can let me practice without Mona."

"Pay attention to her."

Chuck looked into Peggy's eyes: "If you find any abnormalities in the normal state, tell me in time."

"Do you want to hang yourself with a hook?"

Peggy held out her little finger to Chuck.

"I still have to catch a flight."

Chuck ignored her, said nothing, and left directly.

"for you."

Monica bought a Coke and handed it to Peggy. When she saw Chuck left, she didn't care and started cleaning Peggy.

Peggy didn't drink, but looked at Monica's busy figure thoughtfully.

morning.

Columbia University campus.

"Monica."

"Lindsay."

Monica, who accompanied Peggy to attend Professor Rostow Daniel's psychological hypnosis class, smiled and greeted an ordinary-looking blonde woman.

"Come and listen to Peggy's class again."

The blond woman named Lindsay glanced at Peggy.

"Um."

Monica nodded: "How is Mary doing recently?"

Lindsay is an assistant to Professor Rostow Daniel, and Mary is Lindsay's sister and a student at Columbia University.

"She's pretty good."

Lindsay smiled and said: "I have been studying food recently. Maybe I will become a chef after graduation."

"Chef ha."

Monica showed a nostalgic expression: "This has always been my dream and pursuit before, because I like to eat. Ever since I met a bad boss and resigned, I feel that I have been far away from this career for a long time."

Speaking of this, she smiled self-deprecatingly: "Last night, my friend said that I sleepwalked into the kitchen. I don't know if my subconscious was reminding me that I miss the profession of chef."

"No, you don't want to!"

Peggy, who was walking alone in front, said something leisurely when she heard this.

"I'm joking, I like this job now, especially you."

Monica raised her voice and said to Peggy's back, but she gave Lindsay an expression that was hard to explain.

Lindsay smiled knowingly: "Are you sleepwalking?"

"I don't know either."

Monica shook her head and said: "I have no memory at all, but my friend told me for sure, and said that I scared her, and I don't know what happened."

"That's it."

Lindsay nodded thoughtfully, and then saw her greeting an elegant and handsome middle-aged man: "Dr. Daniel."

Dr. Rostow Daniel, professor of psychology at Columbia University, nodded to his female assistant, his eyes fell directly on Monica, and his eyes lit up: "Monica, you are welcome to listen."

"Dr. Daniel."

Monica smiled politely: "I don't understand this, I just came here with Peggy."

"Just call me Rostow. What don't you understand? You can ask me and I can help you answer your questions."

Dr. Daniel said enthusiastically.

"She doesn't understand why she's so obsessed with Dr. Chuck Wolfe."

Peggy smiled and said: "Dr. Daniel, can you help her clear up her doubts?"

"..."

Dr. Daniel's smile faltered.

"Dr. Daniel, class is about to begin."

As a female assistant, Lindsay half reminds and half rescues her boss.

"Well, I'll go in first."

Dr. Daniel raised his hand to look at his watch, regained his smile, glanced at Peggy, smiled at Monica, and then turned around and went in.

"Peggy, why are you talking about this?"

Monica complained a little embarrassedly.

"Did I said wrong thing?"

Peggy smiled and said: "You should thank me for helping you get rid of a trouble with one word, otherwise it would not be a pleasant experience to be targeted by a playboy with a sunny appearance who is good at psychology and hypnosis. Besides, I promised Chuck

, help him keep an eye on you."

"What are you looking at me for?"

Monica didn't know whether what Peggy said was true or false, but when she heard Chuck's additional explanation to her, she couldn't help but smile, and then said in surprise: "Playboy? You mean Dr. Daniel?"

"What do you think, Lindsay?"

Peggy did not answer, but asked the question to the female assistant Lindsay.

Lindsay showed an expression of difficulty in answering, and after Peggy looked away, her eyes flickered.

there.

Chuck and Jane met at the airport and flew directly to Chicago.

As soon as I got out of the airport, I saw a smartly dressed young Indian woman wearing sunglasses standing in front of an SUV and waving to Chuck and the others.

"This is?"

Jane subconsciously looked at Chuck.

"Kelinda."

The Indian woman didn't wait for Chuck to answer. She stepped forward with a smile, took off her sunglasses, extended her hand to Jane, and introduced herself: "An investigator from the Lockhart & Gardner law firm and a friend of Chuck's."

"Jane Banner!"

Jane shook hands with Kelinda: "Chuck's assistant."

"You are so beautiful."

Kelinda praised: "No wonder he doesn't like us."

"Thanks."

Jane was a little confused about Kelinda's details, so she could only smile awkwardly and politely: "You are overthinking it. You are also very beautiful. I believe Chuck doesn't look down on your appearance..."

After saying this, under Kelinda's gaze of "Do you really think Chuck can't say this?" and "I urge you to be sincere", I couldn't say any more, and my impression of Kelinda became much better.

.

Um.

Because she believed that Chuck could really say to a woman, "Your appearance is not up to the baseline of the experiment."

And once a woman is said something like this to her face, unless she has no self-esteem, she will never have any thoughts about the man who said it.

The most important thing is that she doesn't want to be shot inexplicably one day.

The more people there are, the greater the probability... Don't add more people!

"Go directly to the scene."

Chuck said.

"You have the final say, Detective Chuck."

Kelinda teased with some envy, opened the car door for Jane very gentlemanly, and let Jane get in the car. Then she put on her sunglasses again, got into the driver's seat, and drove away.

"As per your request, we have sent you all the information. Do you have any good entry points?"

Kelinda got to the point while driving.

"First go to the scene and have a look, and then talk to people who were there at the time."

Chuck sat in the driver's seat and looked at the scenery outside.

"That's it?"

Kelinda raised her eyebrows subconsciously.

Although she already recognized Chuck's strength in her heart and regarded each other as friends, she still felt uncomfortable with the rapid increase in Chuck's remuneration in the field of investigators.

"We also need to find the person who took the video of the scene and see what else was captured at that time."

Chuck said calmly.

"Is there someone taking video at the scene?"

Kelinda was surprised: "How did you know?"

Chuck glanced at her and said nothing.

"..."

The corner of Kelinda's mouth twitched, but she didn't ask again. Instead, her mind was racing, preparing to find the answer to this question herself.

University of Chicago.

student dormitory.

"At the time of the incident, college students were holding a party. According to Josh Mundy, the male protagonist of "Friends", he was playing down there at the time. Heather, who was shot and killed, was also his girlfriend.

Anka's best friend came to him and offered to play together. Then they went upstairs to take drugs. Afterwards, they both fell asleep, but he woke up thirsty and went downstairs to find a beer. He heard gunshots.

After that, he immediately ran upstairs and found Bianca holding a pistol, and Heather lying in a pool of blood..."

Kelinda recounted the incident at the scene based on the photos taken afterwards.

Chuck looked at the scene and then walked out.

"Where are you going?"

Kelinda follows.

"Get Kinder Ball!"

Chuck said as he walked.

"The girl who provided the photos to the police?"

Kelinda was stunned: "You mean she has the complete video but only gave us photos? Why?"

"You can ask her this question."

Chuck was already standing in front of Kinder Ball's dormitory door and knocked on the door.

"You are?"

A relatively pure and beautiful white girl opened the door and was stunned when she saw Chuck and the others.

"Jinder Ball?"

Chuck said: "Were you the one who provided the police with photos of the scene?"

"it's me."

Jin De said carefully: "You are not the police!"

"We are investigating the case."

Kelinda smiled and said, "Why don't you provide the video of the scene to the police if you have it?"

"Video? I don't have one!"

Jin De's eyes panicked and he quickly denied it.

"No, you do!"

Chuck said: "The photos you provided to the police and posted online appear to be the same photo, but the details are different. They are consecutive pictures taken from video screenshots."

"I deleted it."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Jin De said directly.

"No, you didn't."

Chuck looked at her: "A person who likes to show off online will not delete such a valuable video."

"..."

Jin De was speechless and his eyes were tangled.

"You know the defense attorney can call anyone to testify in court to prove the suspect's innocence, right?"

Kelinda knew at a glance that Chuck was right, so she began to use both soft and hard tactics to assist: "If you lie, it is a crime. We only need to check whether the video has useful information that we don't know, and we must use this video as evidence.

.”

"You guys come in."

Jin De stepped aside, letting Chuck and the others in, and explained tangledly: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I have my own difficulties, and the video really cannot be made public."

"Why?"

Jane is puzzled.

"You'll know just by looking at it."

Jin De walked to the table, opened his laptop, and clicked on the video.

"..."

I was simply speechless.

However, at the beginning of the video, Jin De, who looks pure and beautiful, is seen wearing a tight leather dress and holding a mobile phone to take a selfie. The content of the video is very impressive and profound, and as Jin De is obviously drunk, his actions and words become more and more obvious.

Understood.

"I'm drunk. This is my first time video chatting with my boyfriend... This can't be exposed."

"Don't worry, this is normal and nothing."

Kelinda reassured.

"You're overthinking, and you're not avoiding people. There's nothing you can't expose."

Chuck said bluntly.

"...I don't worry about others."

Jin De looked at himself in the video, seducing her boyfriend with words and actions in front of the camera, and a large group of classmates having fun behind him. As Chuck said, it was indeed not private, so he could only explain in embarrassment: "

This is indeed nothing to young people, but I'm worried that my parents won't be able to stand it, they are more traditional..."

"Is this really nothing?"

Jane could no longer help expressing her confusion: "Are all college students so open now?"

"It's really nothing."

Kinder glanced at Jane and tried hard to explain: "I can't do anything like this without talking about Bianca and Heather. I just talked about an Asian female classmate next door who obviously had a boyfriend, but...

I had an affair with my boyfriend’s roommate, and I was rocking it every day, and I even said that I wanted to keep my boyfriend innocent until they get married..."

"Isn't this nonsense!"

Jane said in disbelief: "You've already done it, how can you keep your innocence..."

After saying this, Jin De and Kelinda realized something in the strange looks in their eyes, and directly showed the expression of the old man on the subway: "Geez~! Tell me it's not what I thought!"

"It's just what you think."

Jin De shrugged: "It's just a cover-up. Compared with them, am I much more normal?"

Chuck ignored her and continued to watch the video, and then said: "Jose Mundy lied. He said he went upstairs only after the gunshots were fired. In fact, he went upstairs first and then heard the gunshots."

Sound."

"So it's possible that Josh Mundy shot and killed his proposed girlfriend and best friend. Why?"

Jane just felt that she was already old and could no longer keep up with the wild and strange thinking of young people.

"I don't know, but that's good news."

Kelinda smiled: "Because this gives the jury, besides Bianca, an object of reasonable doubt."

"Check this guy out!"

Chuck swiped the video and pointed at the moment when Josh Mundy was talking to a boy immediately after the incident: "Maybe there will be an answer."

"good."

Kelinda nodded in agreement.

"Can I delete this video?"

Jin De tried: "I really don't want to be seen by my parents..."

"No, this is important evidence."

Kelinda subconsciously refused.

"delete it."

Chuck interrupted and glanced at Kinder: "If you don't want your parents to see it, don't do it again."

"thanks, thanks."

Jin De thanked him repeatedly and explained: "I was too drunk at the time and couldn't control it. I swear I have never been like this before..."

Chuck said nothing more and walked directly out.

Kelinda glanced at Kinder who immediately deleted the video, and then at Chuck who walked out. She could only follow him and said in confusion: "This is evidence in our favor!"

"You already know the content of the video. If you don't use this video, you won't get the results you want?"

Chuck asked rhetorically.

"...Of course I can."

Of course, Kelinda would not give in and could only let go of this good discovery. She also knew that once this video was used as evidence, it would almost mean that it would be exposed.

And once it is online, it almost means that it will never disappear. There is a high probability that it will be seen by Jin De’s parents and family members. For parents with more traditional ideas, if a video like this of their daughter is made public, it is simply a social death.

I don't know how uncomfortable it must be.

If you are ridiculed and humiliated by your enemies, it will be more serious and difficult to imagine.

"Tsk, tsk."

After Kelinda was relieved, she suddenly stared at Chuck and marveled: "I can't believe that you have such a tender side!"

"Because I know she's telling the truth."

Chuck said calmly: "It's better to have a sense of shame than nothing, and her family is not well-off. Her parents managed to send her to college, and they have already paid enough. There is no need to pay for this anymore."
