Chapter 84 Beverly Hills Cop

Parking the car at the door of Jodie Foster's villa, Kate suddenly felt that she looked like Eddie Murphy in "Beverly Hills Cop."

——Well, at least I'm prettier than him! And I can wear high heels!

The detective lady was having fun in her misery.

Jodie Foster's villa is not big. It can only be regarded as a small one in front of the vast mansions nearby. But even so, this is a villa in Beverly Hills. For the price of any house here, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough for Kate to work for the FBI for 100 years.

"Damn rich people!"

While muttering glumly to herself, Kate walked into the crime scene.

Yes, Jodie Foster's home was the scene of the crime.

This was news that was enough to excite the paparazzi waiting nearby. The only thing they regret is that the movie queen neither died nor killed anyone.

"After Hinckley, Foster has another ardent and perverted movie fan!"

Jeff, a veteran reporter who has been filming Jodie Foster for some years, thought to himself.

Jeff is not a paparazzi. Although he works for the Chicago Tribune, he is also focused on news, but he does not have no lower limit like those tabloid reporters.

Jeff has been in charge of following the actress since "Pear Blossom," which gave Foster his first Oscar nomination. Although he would not be soft on really big news, he was full of gentlemanly demeanor when it came to small things that could be reported or not.

This attitude won the other party's favor, allowing him to get some exclusive interview opportunities from time to time. And Jeff reciprocated this——

It's not like he didn't notice some abnormalities in the movie queen's daily life, but he decided to remain silent until others exposed the news.

And now, what he is most concerned about is Jodie Foster's safety——

In the early hours of this morning, when the reporters who were watching nearby were already yawning all over the sky, a shrill scream suddenly came from the small villa they were monitoring.

This immediately sobered them up.

And then when they saw Jodie Foster and her assistant running out of the entrance barefoot, wearing pajamas and just an extra coat, everyone realized that big news was coming!

"Please help us!"

The movie queen's straightforward request for help made reporters, who usually wanted to put the microphone under her nose, at a loss.

After all, if you don't take into account the needs of work, it would be difficult for the journalists who are basically all male to not be overwhelmed when facing a beauty of Jodie Foster's level.

Especially at this moment, this beauty was only wearing pajamas. She was obviously frightened and looked pitiful, which was even more unbearable for everyone.

"No wonder Hinckley went to assassinate the president after watching her performance in Taxi Driver!"

Many people have this thought in their minds.

"Judy, what happened?"

A group of reporters headed by Jeff who had a good relationship with Foster quickly gathered around.

This time, they were gentle enough not to take any photos.

Jodie Foster said nothing.

She looked frightened and confused, as if she didn't know what to say.

"In the house..."

Her assistant Anna spoke tremblingly,

"There is..."

Well, it seems that this girl was also very frightened and could not even speak.

"Let's go take a look!"

Several younger reporters, or paparazzi - in Jeff's view, these reporters working for third-rate tabloids are out-and-out paparazzi - volunteered.

As to whether they did this out of chivalry or a male's desire to show off in front of a beautiful female, Jeff didn't know.

——Of course, it may also be to grab headlines.

With this in mind, Jeff followed suit.

Whether he was a reporter or a friend, he wanted to find out what was going on——

Jodie Foster's villa is not big, and the interior decoration is not as extravagant as some stars who like to show off. It is a small house that can only be described as warm.

In the main hall of the house, there are many posters of movies starring Jodie Foster.

——Well, this may ruin the cozy feeling in the room. After all, neither The Silence of the Lambs nor Taxi Driver have posters that are… friendly.

Now, these unfriendly posters have been daubed with blood-red paint.

"L——O——V——E?"

Jeff read the smears,

"Love? Looks like another dangerous stalker!?"

The reporter guessed.

The next moment, when he set his eyes on the long table in the corner of the living room, his pupils shrank sharply——

It was a pool of dark red blood that seemed to have not solidified yet. In the center of the blood stain was a large piece of something that looked like a cow's heart.

"Innards! Human!?"

Jeff, who had been a social news reporter for a while, immediately thought of this possibility.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Well, it seems that even among journalists who specialize in exploring exciting news, there are still some wimps among them...

Thinking back to the scene when the incident occurred, Jeff couldn't help but frown.

"Judy won't be affected, right?"

In fact, Jodie Foster suffered some stimulation during the Hinckley incident, but obviously, this time it was more directly violent.

——This is definitely another vicious incident!

As soon as the incident happened, he had already sent the news back to the headquarters of the "Chicago Tribune". Now guarding here is the FBI who has completed the interview and investigation.

——Of course, these Hoover cowboys have never cooperated with the media.

But even so, Jeff still hopes they catch the guy sooner rather than later.

——This is what I hope for, not as a journalist, but as a friend, a friend of Jodie Foster.

***********

Kate didn't know that there was such a conscientious reporter standing outside the crime scene.

As soon as she arrived at the scene, she immediately questioned forensics officers and forensic doctors to see if there were any clues. As a result, she didn't know what to say——

"This is indeed a human heart. Preliminary judgment shows that it was not cut off for a long time, and -"

Having said this, the black forensic doctor in front of Kate couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.

"Depending on how well the incision shrinks, the person may still be alive when the heart is cut out."

"this……"

Even though Kate, as an FBI agent, had seen many heinous criminals, this judgment still made her take a breath of air.

And the forensic doctor hasn't finished speaking yet.

"Our preliminary judgment is that although the cut is relatively smooth, it does not look like it was caused by an ordinary knife. The specific murder weapon still needs to be studied."

Well, this is strange, but it's still somewhat of a discovery. The forensics department's search results completely disappointed Kate.

"Except for the few people who originally lived here, no other new fingerprints and footprints were found?"

Although it is true that wearing gloves can avoid leaving fingerprints, this stalker - no, he can be said to be a murderer now - he must be too careful!

Kate was driven crazy with depression, but there was nothing she could do.

"If this continues, it won't become an unsolved case again, right?"

——The series of cases in Vials Valley are still pending.

Even if it wasn't for the sake of the FBI, but for the sake of her own resume, Kate had to think of something.

"Since the heart was taken from a living person, there must be a corresponding corpse. Let's start with the corpse!"

Kate pondered,

"However, I have to rule out another possibility first."
