The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 578 Cassel’s Story (Part )

It's finally time for Danny to show off. As a senior police detective, if he still can't guess the murderer's real target after hearing this, he might as well go to the streets and become a patrolman.

"The target of the murderer should be the second victim, Alison Teasdale. She was the social worker for Kyle Capote and was the most likely person to know about this poor guy's fanatical interest in Cassell's suspense novels. people.

If I were the murderer, I would have been very close to Alison Teasdale, and through her I would have learned about Kyle Capote, so that it would have been possible to lay out those plausible crime scenes. "

"Exactly!" Cassell's voice rose slightly with excitement, "Serial killers don't need a motive, but premeditated murders are different, so we re-investigated Alison Tisdale's background. "

"You guys?" Hannah raised her eyebrows, "So Detective Beckett is partnering with you again?"

Cassell grinned almost to his ears, "Of course, we are a perfect match, uh. When it comes to dealing with criminals, I mean, we are a perfect partner."

Seeing that this guy was getting darker and darker, Hannah waved her hand and motioned for him to continue telling the story. It was boring to just listen to one side of the gossip. Afterwards, she would naturally go to Kate to make some insinuations.

Cassell is so direct that he doesn't need to use clichés. He doesn't mean anything by saying anything. It's not as fun as teasing the duplicitous Kate Beckett.

"So we went to visit Allison's father, Mr. Jonathan Tisdale, a billionaire, and guess what I found?" Cassell took a sip of beer and started talking again.

"Inheritance?" When she heard about billionaires, Linda, who had always been very interested, started thinking.

"Yes, Mr. Tisdale owns a fortune of more than $100 million, and according to him, half of it will be donated to charity, and the rest will be divided equally between his two children, Alison and Her debt-ridden brother."

Castle held up a finger for emphasis. "Then with a novelist's keen sense and observation, I discovered that something was wrong with Mr. Tisdale's health."

Alexis was quite dissatisfied with her father's behavior of always showing off his words mid-sentence. She hugged his arm and urged him coquettishly, "How could you tell?"

"I found that compared with the photos on his desk, he was obviously much thinner, and his complexion was very poor. There were traces of makeup on his face, and he would touch his hair unnaturally from time to time."

Cassel hugged his daughter and asked her to listen patiently, "Although his wig is very high-end, I still noticed something strange. I suspect he has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy."

“Then we visited Alison’s brother, Harrison Tisdale, the son of Jonathan Tisdale, and when we asked him, he directly showed his alibi.

Harrison claimed that he was out of the country at the time of the three murders and had stamps in his passport to prove it. "

Hearing this, everyone except Linda and Alexis had knowing smiles on their faces.

"A very exciting case, a feud between a wealthy family, an inheritance, plus killing innocent people to cover up the real target, using the plot of the novel to frame others, and a perfect alibi.

I believe that with your outstanding writing, this will be the perfect book to start a wonderful chapter in Nicky Hitt's detective novel series. "Jack clapped gently, and the others who were also quite supportive nodded slightly in agreement.

"Bang!" Linda slapped her husband on the thigh, with a bit of anger on her face, "So the culprit is Alison's brother Harrison, right? But doesn't he have an alibi?"

Danny held his wife's hand lovingly, brought it to his mouth and kissed her. His expression when explaining was a bit proud of his IQ high ground.

"He must have used a fake passport purchased from the black market. Before the incident, he first used his real passport to leave the country, then used a second passport to enter the country to commit the murder, left the country again, and finally used his real passport to come back, creating Proof of absence.

But although this guy was very smart, he was too timid. When Detective Beckett came to inquire, he talked too much. "

Alexis had read a lot of her father's novels since she was a child, and she immediately understood, "He only needed to prove that he was not in the country on the day his sister was killed, but he provided alibi for three murders at once. This shows that he has already prepared this."

Cassel's face showed a bit of pride worthy of being my daughter, "That's right, so I went to Judge Markway and asked him to urgently issue a search warrant, and then I found Harrison's home and caught this guy. The boy who is trying to destroy the evidence."
-

"It was a perfect party. The food was delicious and the stories were wonderful. I hope we can have the opportunity to get together more often in the future."

At around ten o'clock in the evening, when she said goodbye to everyone, Linda, who was holding her husband's arm, seemed a little unfinished. However, their family lived in Staten Island and they had to go to old Reagan's house to pick up their two children first, so they had to leave early.

After saying goodbye to Danny Regan and his wife, leaving Hannah and Alexis to clean up the living room, the three men took cigars and the remaining beer to the rooftop while admiring the extremely gorgeous and bustling night view of Manhattan decorated with neon lights. , while continuing to chat.

Halfway through enjoying a cigar, Jack's cell phone rang suddenly. Seeing that the call was from Danny's number, he picked up the phone casually and asked directly, "Hey, Danny, did you leave something behind?" ?”

Unexpectedly, Linda's panicked voice came from the phone, "Jack, this is Linda. Something happened. Danny asked me to call the police. I just called 911."

Before Linda finished speaking, two gunshots suddenly came from the phone. At the same time, accompanied by a scream, the phone was suddenly hung up.

"What happened?" Cassel and Jubal both noticed something strange and asked quickly.

This sudden surprise made Jack's heart tense. He didn't bother to answer and quickly called back. It took a long time before the call was connected. Hearing Linda's voice again made him half relieved.

"Linda, what happened? Robbery?"

"Probably not. I don't know what happened. We were in a convenience store. Danny noticed something was wrong outside, so he asked me to hide and call the police immediately. He had a shootout with someone just now. He should be fine, but you can come and take a look. Well, I think I saw someone shot on the side of the road."

Hearing Linda say that both of them were fine, Jack breathed a sigh of relief, asked for the address, stood up and explained the situation to Cassel and Jubal.

Jubal enthusiastically asked if he needed help. He knew it was just a small accident. Jack said no, it was enough for him to go over and check the situation alone.
