Chapter 1280 Andy came to visit

At first glance, Andy's workplace story does not seem to be of much help to the case. After all, it is impossible for the NYPD detectives to drop their suspicion of Miranda just because of her one-sided statement, even if the possibility of such suspicion is small.

Among the girls Jack knows, Anna, who is the best in skills, is also the one with the worst physical fitness, even worse than Professor Cahill (Maureen) in his family.

Of course, that was before she met Jack. Later, in order to upgrade her cup size, Anna had long since changed her dieting habits from her modeling days, and worked out to make her body curves develop in a healthier direction.

And from what Jack had seen at Project Runway magazine before, all the girls there, including the elderly Miranda, had bodies that were not even healthy in order to cater to the aesthetic standards of the fashion circle.

Even if the victim himself had a similar build, nearly 50 meters tall and weighed less than kilograms, it was still not something that those fragile and fashionable girls could carry and throw into the trash can by themselves.

So this case is not challenging or dangerous at all, at least it does not require the FBI to be dispatched.

If the murderer is a female, it would take at least two people to commit the crime, and judging by the daily infighting in this circle, it is only a matter of time before the murderer is exposed.

If the murderer was not a woman, it would not be difficult to investigate step by step, because in just one day, Beckett and her duo of funny people had already obtained quite a lot of clues.

Grace, who was fired together with Ella, not only provided clues, but also, with the help of the police sketch artist, provided a portrait of the man who had an argument with Ella under the company building.

Lannie had previously discovered blue alpaca wool around the neck of Ella's body, and during a detailed autopsy that night, she also found fragments of black coral, also known as sea willow, on and inside her shoes.

Black coral is a type of coral and also a very precious carving material. It is often made into handicrafts such as pipes, bracelets, necklaces and rings.

The NYPD's forensic team had to search the trash can and surrounding area again, but they still failed to find anything similar, which means that Ella was most likely contaminated somewhere shortly before her death.

The bug that Kevin and Esposito found had a serial number on it. As long as it wasn't used by a spy agency or secret service, it wouldn't be difficult to trace its source. It just would take some time.

So Jack originally didn't plan to go to the police station the next day. The team would return to New York tomorrow, which also meant that they might have to go on a mission again in a few days, so he just wanted to spend the whole day in the vegetable garden.

This autumn's pumpkin harvest is great. Although there are not many of them, each one is bigger than a cow's head. You definitely can't eat them all, but they are great materials for taking them to the shooting range or making pumpkin lanterns for Halloween.

It's a pity that most of the loofahs on the shelf have grown old. Jack barely picked a few that were still edible and kept the rest. When they turned into old loofahs, he picked them and dried them to make loofah nets, which can be used to wash dishes.

Just when he had been busy for half the morning and was taking some frozen dumplings from the refrigerator to prepare for a quick meal, Andy came to his door again.

"The New York Times is not a gossip tabloid. Are you sure you want to follow up on this case?" Jack generously shared his lunch.

"This is not just gossip. Did you hear that the mysterious consortium behind the newly emerged 'SBL' APP in the past two years bought the entire 'Alias Clarke' publishing house last month?

Now, whether it is "Tianqiao" or "Metropolis", two of the top three fashion magazines in New York are controlled by this group. There are already rumors that they will use their new media advantages to carry out drastic reforms on "Tianqiao".

As the girl spoke, she scooped two dumplings from the big plate very reservedly. After taking a bite, her eyes lit up.

Jack placed a dish of vinegar and a dish of chili oil in front of her, still wondering what the "Shabi Le" APP she mentioned was and why it sounded so familiar.

It took me a while to realize that the mysterious consortium Andy was talking about was actually our own "Shangri-La".

"Shambhala" is another translation of "Shangri-La". The abbreviation "SBL" was previously used by Jack to name the short video APP that imitated "TikTok" in his previous life.

There have been many major events recently, such as "VX" and nuclear bombs. Jack has not really talked to Chris about the development of the group. He only knows that the expansion speed is very alarming, and has already made social apps such as Facebook become autistic.

Andy didn't notice Jack's thoughtful expression. He secretly put a few more dumplings on his plate. He curiously ate one with vinegar, looking very satisfied. Then he tried the chili oil, but it was so spicy that he gasped.

"You have to know how the paparazzi framed Miranda during her second divorce. Now at this critical moment, her assistant has been murdered. I think I have an obligation to write an objective report."

Jack looked at the girl with some surprise, thinking that Miranda had treated her so well in the past, but she still remembered the good things about her. She must be a really kind person.

Jack put the remaining shrimp dumplings on her plate and sighed, "Then when you finish eating, accompany me to the 12th Precinct. Beckett and the others should have made some progress."

On the way, Jack called Chris to ask about "Tianqiao", but the accountant was also confused.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Of course he knew about the acquisition of Alias Clark Publishing House, but although "Tianqiao" magazine was well-known in the fashion industry, especially in New York, it was ultimately just a fashion magazine.

The publishing house itself is not very large. After completing the acquisition, Chris handed it over to professional managers familiar with this field to carry out subsequent plans and did not pay much attention to it at all.

But since it was confirmed that this was his own asset, Jack certainly had reason to pay more attention to it. However, he did not avoid Andy when calling her, which made the girl look a little uneasy.

What a weird plot of a domineering president right next to me. Nowadays, the American people have been bombarded with the overwhelming domineering president sketches. Next, Jack is thinking about the plot of "the president falls in love with me who works as a cleaner in the white house", and Andy is naturally no exception.

"Can I see your FBI ID?" the girl asked weakly when she saw the Audi R8 that Jack drove out.
