Chapter 1283 The real murderer? (I’m a usual way to ask for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)
"What a pity." While Jack and Beckett were discussing in a low voice, Kassel, who was sitting at the desk, sighed.
Seeing the two standing in front of the whiteboard, Cassel showed them what was in their hands, "This is the design draft that Kevin and Esposito had taken back from Ella's apartment.
It can be seen that she is actually quite talented in this regard."
Jack took it and looked at it. The small notebook was hand-painted model villains, wearing various skirts and clothes, and decorated with accessories.
The model villain's style is a bit abstract, and the clothes on his body are just simple line drawings, but the author carefully marked every detail.
In addition to the style and color, the accessories on the model villain have also been explained in detail, and there are also some professional terms that Jack doesn't understand very well, which are all proprietary terms in the clothing industry.
Jack is basically insulated from Fashion. If it weren't for Hannah and Jiejie's help, he might always be a three-piece set in the style of an FBI agent.
In fact, even so, his wardrobe still hung many sets of white shirts and black suits with exactly the same style, as well as several ties with exactly the same color pattern.
For catwalk shows, the only thing Jack can watch is probably the kind of "Veteran's Secret".
But since Andy, who had been standing behind Kassel before, was curiously visiting him, Jack knew that the great writer's judgment should be fine. "I'm very curious about what kind of secret Ella has mastered that can make the murderer kill people to silence him." Kassel's malicious eyes circled someone.
This time, the great writer's imagination is not difficult to guess, because Jack thought of it on the way back to the police station, "Sky Bridge magazine is only one of the businesses of "Ariyas Clark Publishing House". Even if it goes bankrupt, the impact on the group strategy is minimal.
And I have confirmed that the so-called business adjustment is nothing more than adding a fashion-related community to the 'LUNE' APP, which can attract female fashion groups to join while enhancing the magazine's influence.
Including the "Five-Person" talent show we saw in the studio before is also one of the links. Audiences can vote on the APP to select their favorite designers, but the program itself has scripts."
"Are you saying that those wonderful fights are set scripts?" Kassel's expression was hurt. "Damn it, I was quite optimistic about the designer named Yumi, although after seeing him, I found out that he was really a GAY."
"You mean that short and fat Asian man in a soft-brown hat?" Jack recalled the scene he saw in the studio before, and couldn't help but shivered. "Is Yumi a Japanese name?"
"Who knows?" Kassel raised his wrist and looked at the time, "Oh, I should go to pick up Alexis. The dinner in the newly opened Spanish restaurant in Hell's Kitchen is very difficult to make, and we have been looking forward to it for a long time."
"I should return to the agency, too." Andy also offered to say goodbye at the right time.
She is just an intern reporter now. Seeing that the case can't be completed for a while, she dare not give up all the work she has at hand.
So when Kevin and Esposito hurried back to the police station with a strong black man, they only saw Jack and Beckett.
They spent most of the day and finally found the buyer of the eavesdropper in a security product store running some gray business in Queens, and directly sent the message to the 12th branch.
"James Kavanav, retired soldier, security captain of "Skybridge"." Esposito looked at Kevin and invited the black strong man into the interrogation room and told the other party's identity. Beckett showed an unexpected expression, "Wait, what do you mean is that Ella was monitored by her own company?"
—
As a migrant worker, the security captain named James Kavanav failed to last for 5 minutes under Beckett's questioning, and just explained it in detail.
"I am also on orders, guys." His expression showed a little helplessness when he spoke. "I am indeed pretending to be a wiretap, but that's all. I have nothing to do with Ella's death, OK?"
Seeing Jack and Becket sitting opposite him still looking at him expressionlessly, James Kavanav spread his hands, "Since the publishing house was acquired, the "Sky Bridge" magazine has changed its new owner, targeting him. The home monitoring of key employees is accustomed to it."
Jack sneered, "What do you mean is that it is the new owner, that is, the acquisition of the publisher's Shangri-La Group, which requires you to do this?"
Although he is basically only responsible for thinking about one thing and one thing, and handing over some of his previous life's experience into a plan to Chris, and not participating in the group's management at all, he also knows that such a mess is unlikely to happen.
"Uh, of course not." The security captain hesitated for a moment and still told the truth, "It was Miranda who asked."
"You mean Miranda Prisley, editor-in-chief of the magazine? Are you sure?" Although Beckett had no expression on his face, he was not very willing to accept this answer.
The mentality of the female police detective is actually somewhat similar to Andy. Miranda not only has a little "grace" to her, but also everyone is a strong woman who has worked hard in a true "masculinity society" like Europe and the United States, and she is a bit sympathetic.
However, the security captain's explanation is not difficult to understand. "Of course it is certain that everyone knows that she is worried about her position. It has been less than half a year since the new shareholder tried to replace her last storm. This time, the publishing house and the magazine simply changed their new owners directly.
Do you know how many assistants she changed after that? She told me in person that she doesn't know who she can trust."
Jack couldn't help but snorted coldly, "It seems that our 'fashion queen' should have some things that need to be explained to us."
The newest ⊥小⊥ said⊥ on ⊥6⊥9⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Wait a minute." Beckett raised his hand to interrupt Jack's attempt to get up and continued to ask, "Who is responsible for the monitoring record, or, besides you, who can access those eavesdropping recordings?"
The security captain's expression was a little innocent. "In fact, even I can't access those recordings. These devices are very intelligent now.
Not only work to record when someone talks, but after setting it up, the voice file will be sent directly to the designated computer, that is, Miranda's private notebook."
When Jack and Beckett walked out of the interrogation room, the duo who was monitoring the whole time next door could not wait to come over. "Do you know what he said just now mean?" Esposito looked eager to do it. "Of course, Ella called Marcus Conway to tell that she had mastered an internal scandal that was enough to ruin the Skybridge magazine, and that Miranda heard it."
Although he was reluctant to believe it, Beckett still gave the most likely inference.
"I can't believe we missed the investigation." Kevin held his cell phone and looked disbelief. "I just contacted the lobby security of the building where the magazine was located. They said at 11:30 the night before yesterday, someone did see Miranda hurriedly leaving the building."
