Chapter 23 Telephone Murder

  By the time the police arrived at the accident site of the "car accident", it was already half an hour later.

   "Did you find anything?" A burly man in casual clothes got out of the car and asked the policeman in uniform.

  His name is Dietrich, and he is the Lieutenant Sheriff of the Third Precinct of the North District of Chicago—as a federal country, the United States has not had a unified police rank system since the founding of the country, and it is very common for military ranks to be mixed.

  The current Chicago area is not as big as the future, so there are only 13 precincts now.

   As for Lieutenant Sergeant Dietrich, he is already the second in command of the Third Precinct, so he can be regarded as a high-ranking officer.

"There were only some bloodstains, ruts, footprints, and some **** projectiles at the scene, which should be stag hunting rounds, but there were no shell casings, and no cars or corpses were found. What's more strange is that there were obviously traces of two cars at the scene, but we I only found the rut where one car left, and the other car seemed to have never existed." The policeman on the side said with a somewhat unsightly expression.

   "Where are the witnesses?" Lieutenant Dietrich asked.

   "The person who called the police was found, but the other party only saw a figure with a gun in the distance, and did not dare to approach at all, so it is not even clear whether the murderer is a man or a woman." The policeman sighed helplessly.

   Lieutenant Dietrich nodded when he heard the words, and he understood the reason for the policeman's sigh.

   There is no corpse, no murder weapon, no witnesses, and no decent evidence at all. In this era when detection methods are still relatively scarce, it is basically a case without a head.

"Clean it up and leave. I'll talk to the director." After checking the situation at the scene, Dietrich ordered the team to be closed. There are too many similar unsuspecting cases these years, and the police are unwilling to spend too much A lot of energy in this area.

   While the police were searching for nothing, they had no choice but to close the team.

  Evanston and Josie, who had changed into another outfit, were driving the Lincoln Continental that Margot helped to buy, Shi Shiran had just arrived home.

   Seeing Packard parked at the door, Josie knew that Margot was at his house now... Josie left her a spare key when he moved.

   "How's it going?" Josie just got out of the car, and Tommy next door just came out of the house. After seeing Josie, he came over and asked.

   "A small problem has been resolved, thank you for reminding me." Josie replied.

  Of course, how to solve it is impossible to say.

  Tommy is also well versed in the truth, so he didn't ask any more questions. He accepted Josie's thanks calmly, nodded and turned back to the house.

  Watching Tommy enter the room, Josie let out a soft breath.

  In fact, if you observe carefully, you will find that his hands are still trembling slightly.

  The reason is simple, he killed people.

   This is his first kill.

  The scene of a shot being fired at a person, blood flying everywhere, still lingers in his mind.

  Even the **** body, the shotgun, the two cars involved, and other evidences were lying quietly in the system warehouse at this time.

   There is no mysterious BT pleasure.

   There is not much fear.

  Some are just a little nervous and confused...

  Josie still hasn't understood why he was able to shoot so decisively and deal with the scene so calmly.

   "Josie, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time." Just as Josie was in a daze, Margot opened the door and came out. Seeing him who was in a daze at the door, she immediately asked a little strangely.

   Then she saw Josie looking at him strangely.

   "What's wrong? My makeup is messed up?" Margot felt a little uncomfortable being watched by Josie.

   Then he only had time to utter an exclamation before being carried into the house by Josie.

  By the time Margot came back to her senses again, she was already lying on the big bed in the bedroom naked.

  Lying in Josie's arms, looking at his slightly immature handsome face, Margot felt strange and complicated in her heart.

  But... also very fun.

   This is something she has never felt from Tony Wendys.

   "Did something happen?" Margot asked gently, stroking Josie's face.

   "Your husband sent someone to follow you for a day and took a lot of photos." Josie replied lightly while stroking Margot's body.

   No wonder some people say that women are the best emotional regulators.

  After some wild lingering, the negative emotions accumulated in him were completely released, and he regained his original calmness.

   Then he told Margot about Tony Wendys sending people to follow him.

  Josie is not in the habit of being an unsung hero.

  Since you have paid, you must say it, otherwise the ghost knows what you have done.

  Of course, I skipped the matter of murder, and just said that I bought the stalker with money.

   "What? How dare he?" Hearing Josie's words, Margot lost her composure for an instant and said angrily.

"Hehe, why not? Not only did he dare to send someone to follow you, he even dared to send someone to kill you, otherwise he would be kicked out by you after the divorce?" Josie said with a hint of sarcasm. It’s Tony Wendys, not Margot next to him. “I have to say, he is really decisive in this matter. As long as you die, all your huge wealth will belong to him.” gone."

   But why would Josie know about Tony Wendy's plan?

   You must know that Joe Barbaro was only implementing the first step of Tony Wendy's tracking plan before, and he didn't tell Joe Barbaro about the follow-up plan at all.

  So Josie should have no idea that Tony Wendis wanted to kill Margot.

  Then why did Josie say that?

  Because just now when she was lingering with Margot, Josie finally remembered where the sense of familiarity when she first met Margot came from.

  Margot, Margot, rich daughter.

  Tony, Tony, tennis star.

   This is the Hitchcock movie, the character in the phone murder.

  The reason Josie knew about this movie was because of the actress who played Margot, Grace Kelly!

  When it comes to famous Hollywood female stars in the 1950s, most of the first thoughts are either Audrey Hepburn or Marilyn Monroe.

   But in fact, in the 1950s, there was a female movie star of the same age who was more popular than these two.

   This person is Grace Kelly.

  The reason why her popularity in later generations is not as high as the other two is very simple.

  Because the actress had just entered her peak period after she became famous, she disappeared into the Monaco royal family and became a legendary princess.

  In the hearts of the Monaco people, her existence is no less than Diana's status in the hearts of the British.

   It's just that Josie only saw such a movie by accident, and the impression was not very deep, so he couldn't remember it for a long time.

  But after thinking about it, Josie finally realized that what he traveled through might not be the World War II in the original world, but a parallel world.

  And the current situation is very different from the situation in the movie.

  For example, the story background of the movie is in London, England, not Chicago.

  In addition, there is one very important character missing, that is Margo's writer lover Mark in the movie.

  But Josie thinks about his relationship with Margot now... It seems that he has taken this guy's place.

   Also, the time when the movie story took place was already in the early 1950s, more than ten years later than now.
