Life in North America, you call this an autopsy officer?!
Chapter 55 - 47: A New Obsession

Chapter 55: Chapter 47: A New Obsession

When the familiar villa appeared before his eyes,

Brian felt numb all over.

"Father just left this morning.

Not even ten in the morning, and you’re bringing me back?"

Is that appropriate?

...

Around the villa, there were already eight or nine police cars parked, with a lot of isolation tape pulled out. Through the gate, one could see a bustling crowd meticulously investigating the scene.

Besides that,

at every intersection, there were Los Angeles police officers with walkie-talkies patrolling.

Not to mention people,

even a passing dog wouldn’t dare to get close.

Brian feigned surprise, "What a grand scene. Has some wealthy tycoon been murdered?"

Team Leader Susan executed a beautiful drift to park the car on the side of the road, her mouth corners ticking up uncontrollably with a cheerful tone, "No, it’s some guy I really dislike. If it weren’t for him, I’d have become a Bounty Hunter a long time ago."

Saying this,

she opened the car door and ran over to Brian’s side, helping him out of the car.

The patrol officers at the corner noticed this peculiar duo.

Especially the two large guns at Susan’s waist, which were too eye-catching.

One of the African American patrol officers quickly placed his hand on his waist belt, calling his partner over as he approached: "LAPD, hands..."

He couldn’t finish his sentence.

Because Susan had turned around.

His pupils dilated, "That badge, so large and impressive!"

Susan, noticing his gaze, said coldly, "I am NW, Team B6 leader. Move aside!"

Her presence was too overpowering.

The African American patrol officer and his partner repeatedly apologized, moving aside, envy and jealousy clear as they watched Brian, being closely assisted by Susan, wishing they could be in his place.

...

The badge cleared the way.

The two of them entered the villa area without issue.

The person in charge of the case received the news and came out with an assistant, "Susan, what brings you here?"

"I heard Vadim died in a blast, I am heartbroken, so I brought over the most outstanding member of my team to see if we can offer some help..." Susan obviously knew the person and even pretended to wipe away non-existent tears while speaking.

The case lead was a young Caucasian man who resembled a younger Schwarzenegger.

He was tall and well-proportioned, wearing an exquisitely tailored suit with a badge similar to Susan’s hanging on his collar, his forehead bearing a faint "川" shaped wrinkle.

His first impression was slightly stern.

Aiden glanced at Susan’s mouth, which was struggling to keep composed, and looked helplessly at Brian, who was leaning on a crutch, extending his hand, "Buddy, hello, I’m Aiden, Team B1 leader. I really appreciate you coming over to help with your injury, but we can handle this."

It was clear he did not want Susan to interfere with the case.

Susan’s eyes widened, about to explode.

Brian immediately stepped forward with his crutch and grasped Aiden’s solid handshake:

"Hello, Team Leader Aiden, I’m Brian, B6 Team Autopsy Officer.

We aren’t planning to take over the case.

But the victim was an acquaintance of Team Leader Susan, and more people mean more strength.

Why don’t we have a look at the scene?"

Aiden was obviously a proud person and shook his head in refusal, "Sorry, the identity of the deceased is special; we currently have key evidence and don’t need..."

Brian directly ignored him, his gaze passing over the pool in front to the surrounding shattered glass, confidently stating:

"Judging by the scene,

the victim appears to have died from an explosion.

Looking at the glass debris around, it’s evenly distributed.

The blast point was on the second floor balcony of the master bedroom.

The location was very precise.

The perpetrator is either very familiar with the villa’s structure and had placed the explosive in advance,

or climbed up from the first floor after verifying the victim’s location, then threw in the explosive.

I noticed that the villa has a very comprehensive security system, which is still operational.

Such security systems have a special power supply.

The wiring is installed separately.

Only the owner of the house and the security company know the power supply location of the security system."

Once it was cut off.

Only the security company’s logistics could provide repair services.

That indicates the murderer didn’t intentionally cut off the security surveillance’s dedicated power supply before acting.

I suspect.

The murderer is the former.

He was very familiar with the victim’s situation and had prepared the timed explosives in advance!

This was a premeditated murder!"

Brian spoke with great confidence.

There was no other way.

The entire crime scene was his handiwork.

He had just purposely given a wrong statement.

Susan listened to Brian’s casual conjecture, nodding her head in agreement from time to time.

This was the elite she had chosen!

Pride shone on her face as she looked at Aiden and raised an eyebrow.

She seemed to be saying,

Are you sure you don’t want our help?

"Clap clap clap."

Aiden clapped his hands and nodded his head in approval towards Brian:

"That’s a fascinating conjecture.

Unfortunately, you’re wrong!

The murderer climbed in front of the surveillance, then after ascending to the second floor and ascertaining the location of the victim, Vadim, he climbed back down and..."

He made a throwing motion:

"The murderer threw two pull-string detonators up to the second floor, then confidently left after waiting for the maximum detonation time.

Indeed, his throw was very accurate.

The detonators landed precisely between Vadim and his lover, killing them instantly."

"Ah?" Brian expressed an appropriately surprised expression: "Committing the crime right in front of the surveillance? So brazen?"

Susan had a different focus.

Gossip gleamed in her eyes: "A lover, what lover, wasn’t Vadim known to have a good reputation in the circle?"

Aiden looked at the gossipy Susan, his forehead wrinkling tightly, and in the end, he sighed: "Never mind, go inside and take a look, the crime scene is quite straightforward anyway. You’re Brian, right?"

Speaking of which.

He handed over a business card: "Your reasoning and observation ability are very strong. Our team is still missing an Autopsy Officer with sufficient ability. If you’re interested, you can switch over to my team."

After speaking.

He stuffed the business card into Brian’s hand, and while Susan was still not reacting, he jogged away.

...

"FK squid!"

Susan, catching on belatedly, flipped off Aiden’s departing figure, then her gaze dangerously turned to Brian.

Brian immediately tore the business card in his hand to pieces: "This guy’s no good! He wants to destroy the steadfast comradery and bonds of brotherhood between us!"

Susan nodded in agreement and pretended to be serious: "Aiden was once a member of my squad. Actually, he’s not bad, he’s very capable and loyal, and he likes people with ability. If you went over, maybe you’d do even better."

How could Brian be foolish enough to fall for it, shaking his head furiously: "Susan, don’t be like that. From the moment you stood up for me at Ace Base, I swore in my heart that I would always be by your side as long as you needed me, to become your most reliable partner!"

"Brian..."

Susan was moved.

She hadn’t expected Brian to be so genuine.

If this were a game strategy, a string of +"1" affinity points would have already appeared above her head.

Susan felt ashamed for her testing.

Embarrassedly, she lowered her head, but found her view blocked, so she turned to look aside and pointed to the body collection vehicle nearby, changing the subject: "Let’s go, let’s see what kind of state Vadim is in after being blown up."

Brian breathed a sigh of relief.

He’d managed to deflect the conversation.

And even managed to gain some extra affinity points.

I’m really strong!

...

Aiden’s team had already collected the shattered bodies of the victim, Vadim, and his lover, placing them on the morgue vehicle.

Even without getting close.

Brian saw a strikingly red balloon hovering over one of the morgue vehicles.

A new obsession had exploded!
