Chapter 23 Phone 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 civilian clothes got out of the car and asked the policeman in uniform beside him.

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.

And Dietrich, the lieutenant sheriff, is already the second in command of the third branch, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking authority.

"There were only some bloodstains, ruts, footprints, and some bloody 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. 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.

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

Evanston and Josie, who had changed into a new suit, drove the Lincoln Continental that Margot helped to buy, Shi Shiran just arrived home.

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

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

"A little problem has been solved, thank you for reminding me." Josie replied.

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

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

Watching Tommy enter the room, Josie let out a sigh of relief.

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 murder.

The scene of a shot blasting a person, and the blood and flesh flying everywhere still lingers in his mind.

Even the bloody body, the murder weapon, the shotgun, the two cars involved, and other evidence were lying quietly in the system warehouse at this time.

There is no mysterious BT pleasure.

Not too much fear either.

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 when Josie looked at her.

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

When Margot regained consciousness again, she was already lying naked on the big bed in the bedroom.

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

But...it's also very fun.

This was something she had never felt from Tony Wendys.

"What happened?" 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 the fact that Tony Wendis sent people to follow him.

Josie wasn't in the habit of being an unsung hero.

Now that you have paid, you have to 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 probably didn't know that Tony Wendis wanted to kill Margot at all.

So why would Josie say that?
Because just now when she was lingering with Margot, Josie finally remembered where the familiar feeling when she first met Margot came from.

Margot, Margot, rich daughter.

Tony, Tony, tennis star.

This is the character from the Hitchcock movie, The Phone Murder.

Josie knew about the movie because of the actress who played Margot, Grace Kelly!
When mentioning famous Hollywood female stars in the 50s, most of the first thoughts were either Audrey Hepburn or Marilyn Monroe.

But in fact, in the 50s, 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 died and married into the royal family of Monaco and became a legendary princess.

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

It's just that Josie only saw such a movie by accident, and the impression was not very deep, so she 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 a very important character missing, that is Margot's writer lover Mark in the movie.

But Josie thought about his current relationship with Margot... It seemed that he had taken this guy's place.

Also, the time when the movie story took place was already in the early 50s, more than ten years later than now.
