Chapter 1278 Case Discussion During Dinner

Chapter 1278 Case Discussion During Dinner

Jack took the almost boneless chicken out of the pot, put on plastic gloves, and tore off the chicken meat while chatting with Andy.

"How likely do you think it is that Grace killed Ella?"

In response to Jack's question, Andy tilted his head and thought seriously for a while before answering hesitantly.

"I don't think so. Although she wanted to strangle me when I stole Emily's chance to accompany Miranda to the Paris Fashion Show, we reconciled later."

The Emily that Andy mentioned should be the girl who worked with her and served as Miranda's first and second assistants.

As Jack finished the last dish and took the German-style roast pork knuckle out of the oven, Cassel and Beckett just walked in.

“Some people must have cast some kind of magic on their food. I have eaten at all the high-end restaurants in New York, and each one has one or two dishes that are unforgettable.

But I bet their chefs can never do it like Jack does, making every dish taste like what you think it should taste like.”

"Are you talking about the taste of my mother?" Beckett washed his hands and went to the counter, watching curiously as Jack mixed pepper and chili oil into the shredded chicken.

"Forget it. Martha only comes into the kitchen to make a few waffles when she asks me for help, and at least half of them are burnt. Her cooking skills are not even as good as Alexis'."

Cassel shuddered and went into the kitchen to carry the dishes.

"What's the result of the questioning of Grace?" Jack tapped the spoon in his hand lightly on the back of Beckett's hand, who was trying to secretly taste the shredded chicken.

Beckett, who almost succeeded in "stealing the chicken", licked the sauce on her fingers unwillingly. Now that everyone is getting more and more familiar with each other, in front of acquaintances, the female detective no longer has the airs she usually puts on in the police station.

"She admitted that she did have a conflict with Ella because she believed that she was fired because of Ella.

Because in his spare time, he has been trying to build relationships with the new designers participating in the "Amazing Five" talent show and show them his clothing designs. "

"What about the investigation into the murder weapon?" Jack continued.

"Are you talking about the blue scarf?" Cassel took out a bottle of sweet martini from the storage room as an aperitif for the meal. He had brought this wine with him earlier.

"We checked. It was a gift from a sponsor. Almost everyone in the magazine got one. Grace also has a solid alibi. Between midnight and 2 a.m. yesterday, she was at a bar getting drunk with her friends because she lost her job."

Andy, a guest at the side, looked a little embarrassed. Beckett and Cassel's familiarity with the place not only showed that they often came here to eat and drink, but also made her seem like the only outsider here, feeling a little out of place.

Jack placed an empty wine glass in front of her, motioning her to be patient, and continued to ask, "So Grace couldn't provide any other useful information?"

"Of course," Beckett said, but was interrupted by the sound of a car engine shutting down outside the house. Then the duo hurriedly rang the doorbell.

The two guys were obviously very hungry. As soon as they entered the door, they rushed straight to the dining table, and then Jack forced them to wash their hands.

Kevin and Esposito seemed like starving ghosts who had been reborn. After sitting down, they stretched their cheeks and showed off to Kuku until they were about 70% full. Then they picked up the aperitif that Cassell poured for them and drank it all.

Seeing that several people were looking at this side, Kevin quickly wiped his mouth with a napkin and began to tell them what they had learned.

"We asked Ella's roommate, who graduated from Parsons School of Design, and she said that Ella would get up at 5:30 every day to buy coffee and egg sandwiches for Mirada.

No boyfriend, no love life, or in other words, after she became Miranda's assistant, she basically had no personal life and needed to be on call 24 hours a day. "

The audience's attention shifted from Kevin to Andy, who was secretly shoveling a piece of crispy pork elbow for himself like a thief.

The girl blinked her big eyes innocently when she realized that she had suddenly become the focus of attention. "Every girl hopes to be Miranda's assistant. As long as she can stick with it for a year, she can get a letter of recommendation from her and do any job related to the fashion industry."

Esposito poured himself a bowl of chicken soup and nodded in agreement. "Her roommate said the same thing. Ella spends her remaining spare time on fashion design. Her dream is to become a fashion designer."

"Is this what you gained this afternoon?" As a leader, Beckett had reason to suspect that his two subordinates had slacked off the rest of the time.

"Of course not." Kevin took out an evidence bag from his pocket, which contained a dismantled bug.

"The cell phone signal near the apartment is very poor. When I borrowed a landline phone, I accidentally found that the receiver was interfered near the lamp, so Esposito and I dismantled the lamp and found this inside."

Jack took the evidence bag and examined it carefully, and found that this was not a professional spy device, but just an ordinary civilian product, the kind commonly used by police wiretapping or private detectives.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Andy, is corporate espionage popular in your fashion industry? Ella is just Miranda's assistant. Who would use a wiretap on her?"

The girl was equally confused and opened her mouth but didn't know how to respond.

"Ahaha, this confirms the clues we got from Grace before."

Cassel clapped his hands excitedly, but Beckett, who was sitting next to him, rolled his eyes. It was obvious that what he said was not the case at all.

"Grace said that at lunch time a few days ago, she saw Ella arguing with a man outside the company building. She overheard the man threatening Ella and demanding that she hand over something in a very tough tone.

Ella also firmly rejected the other party and warned him that if he dared to bother her again, she would call the police. Then the man left angrily.

Cassel proudly stated his own inference, "Miranda is one of the most influential figures in the fashion industry, and Ella is her assistant, so someone wants to get information about the next season's fashion trends through her.

Oh, I even have a headline ready for the story: 'Murder - The Latest Trend.'"

Jack covered his ears towards Andy and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, or you will lose your intern journalist card."
