Chapter 90: Searching in the Mountain (Part 2)
Rosalind seemed unaware of anything.
"Oh, it's so funny. When people see me, they see me as a monster, and I see them the same way. Killing is not cruel, and saving people is not out of kindness."
She always had a smile on her face. Smiling until his eyes met Jack's, the expression on his face couldn't help but stiffen slightly.
The young police officer had no anger, no disgust, and no fear in his eyes. He just looked at himself calmly, as if he were looking at a dead object.
Rosalind twitched the corners of her mouth, forced a smile again, and glanced at Taylor Kelly next to Jack as if she was unintentional.
"Officer Tavole seems to be very attracted to the opposite sex?"
"Huh?" Tell me, why are you provoking me? Jack calmly turned off the system in his mind and refocused his eyes.
He has been thinking about whether he should upgrade his rifle shooting skills after he has accumulated enough system gold coins. Later, he will definitely go to Quantico for training like Hannah. He heard from her that there are many masters there, so he can use his own pistol. He has now reached proficiency in martial arts and fighting, and is definitely at a level that exceeds half of the people, but his rifle shooting skills are somewhat unsatisfactory.
“Don’t bother me, you are too old for me, I don’t like frosted ones.”
Tyler Kelly glanced at his arms subconsciously. The skin he had just taken care of in the beauty salon was smooth and fair.
Rosalind snorted and finally stopped talking nonsense.
Everyone continued to trek through the forest with difficulty, but within 10 minutes this time, Rosalind stopped under a tree and signaled that they were there.
Jack smacked his lips, Rosie, the old agent, has something.
"Ha, right here, I buried the anesthesiologist at the root of this tree. I also anesthetized him at the time and put it in iced black tea. Isn't this a bit ironic?"
< br>
"Then I chopped off his hands and feet while watching the sunset with him. It was such an unforgettable day."
Everyone ignored Rosalind's creepy chatter, Superintendent Gray signaled to start, John and Tim and others took out portable engineer shovels from their backpacks and dug at the roots of the tree.
Jack took Taylor Kelly and her cameraman aside, and after the cameraman took a few excavation shots, he supervised him to turn off the camera, and filming was prohibited from then on.
"Found it." John found the bones within a few shovels. He used force to peel away a layer of soil on the surface, and a skeleton that was almost completely white appeared in front of everyone.
"No limbs, it's the anesthetist." John looked a little excited, and several other police officers, including Assistant Prosecutor Del Monte, also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Something's wrong." The most experienced Superintendent Gray frowned, and David Rossi next to him showed the same expression he had before when he was testing Jack.
"Officer Tavole, let me tell you."
Jack took a step forward, stood beside the two of them, and lowered his voice.
"The body was buried too shallowly, less than two feet, and it was not wrapped with anything except clothes. There are coyotes in Griffith Park at night, and there are many other small carnivores with sensitive senses of smell. If it were here It is the first place to bury corpses. They have been dug out by these animals, and the bones will be scattered everywhere.”
In his previous life, Jack watched an American TV series called "Six Feet Under", which was about beauty. This is the story of a family that runs the funeral industry in China. In European and American culture, six feet represents the burial of the dead, which is somewhat similar to what Siris calls "under the nine springs."
This six-foot depth is not unreasonable. Only if the body is buried deep enough can the body be protected from being dug up and eaten by wild animals.
“Ah!” At this time, not far from John, Lucy, who was wearing gloves to help clean up the loose soil, suddenly screamed and sat down on the ground.
Tyler Kelly, who had been looking curiously beside her, also covered his mouth and hid aside. Everyone gathered around and saw another corpse appearing next to the bones found by John, and it was half-rotten. The state exudes an unspeakable stench. Superintendent Gray made a basic judgment after just one glance: "6 months, at most 9 months."
Everyone's eyes were unanimously cast on Rosalind not far away. .
"Don't look at me, I've been in prison for the past four years."
The old woman was smiling happily, like a chess player who had the upper hand.
——
Dividing line-——
“How is this possible? The only person who knows where Rosalind’s body is hidden is only herself, and she is imprisoned in prison. It has been four years, why is there a body that was killed less than a year ago appearing in the same place?”
On the way back to the police station, Tyler Kelly abandoned the cameraman and squeezed into Jack's police car, asking questions like a curious baby.
Jack glanced at her helplessly, "Didn't you gain enough today?"
"You must know something, I found that it was only you and that handsome old FBI guy. "I didn't show too much surprise."
Tyler Kelly had a flattering look on his face. Obviously, today's windfall was not enough to satisfy a journalist's greedy appetite.
"If Miss Kelly wants to be put in a holding cell until we solve the case, I wouldn't mind telling you some inside information."
Tyler Kelly pouted, seeming disappointed, but then happy again.
"Call me Taylor, we should be considered friends, right?"
Seeing that she finally stopped trying to talk out of him, Jack followed suit.
"Okay Taylor."
"Now that we are friends, can you tell me what you think? You can lock me in your house."
"Ha, woman." Jack sneered and decided not to talk to this pretty girl.
Back at Wilshire Police Station, Jack took Taylor directly into Zoe's office. Now he can only count on Inspector Anderson to control this restless news reporter.
As soon as he left Zoe's office, Jack was stopped by Rosie who was walking towards him.
“Jack, do you mind if I call you that?”
“Of course not, what do you need from me?”
Jack's attitude was as respectful as ever. As the case took a turn for the worse, Delmonte, the district attorney's assistant prosecutor, finally realized that he was being used by Rosalind and stopped trying to show his presence.
David Rossi, the Special Agent in Charge from the FBI, naturally took over the leadership of the case and began to issue orders.
"Superintendent Gray agreed to assign you to me as an assistant. Come and attend the meeting together."
As if something suddenly occurred to him, Rossi took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Jack.
"These are the tracking locators you want. The FBI field office in LA just sent them. They are all here."
Jack took the box and opened it. There were more than a dozen small black discs about the size of buttons and a tablet computer.
