Chapter 190 A strange case

Chris said, "The person who called the police reported the case only early this morning, so the forensic department just arrived at the scene to investigate today."

Through these few words and the photos of the scene, York had a general idea of ​​the situation of the case and didn't need to say anything.

"Anyway, if one of the spouses is missing, then the partner is the biggest suspect,"

York picked up the burrito from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, then said calmly:
"You should understand this better than me. In related cases, the probability of spouses committing the crime is very high."

Gregory said calmly, "We have already focused our investigation on the missing person's partner, Jonathan. His behavior was very abnormal after his wife disappeared."

Yorks had pricked up his ears to listen.

Chris continued, "I always feel that he is not very anxious. He even looks very relaxed. It makes me feel that even if he can't find his wife in the end, he still doesn't feel anything."

Gregory: "From the brief encounter last night, it seems like this guy doesn't really know his wife."

York narrowed his eyes slightly. Such abnormal behavior was indeed very suspicious. In short, when something happens between a husband and wife, the partner must be the first suspect.

"So the purpose of your gathering today?"

Based on the current conditions, York knew that the two men did not seem to be simply gathering together to do useless work, especially when the Forensic Department was still investigating the scene.

Logically, these two people should be at the scene now, not at home.

After all, the time period of missing cases is relatively tight, and it can be said to be a race against time. The early time is the golden time. The longer the time, the survival rate of the missing people is basically less than 10%.

Chris answered, "Today is the day of the press conference."

After hearing this, Yorks completely understood why the two did not go to the scene and chose to wait at home. In addition to the fact that they might need his help with something, there was also this reason to watch.

In fact, in cases like this where celebrities or other special disappearances occur, a press conference is usually held.

The main purpose is to increase public attention and expand the scope of influence. Through press conferences, information about missing cases can be quickly conveyed to the general public, thereby increasing the chances of finding the missing person.

Moreover, through media dissemination, it can inspire more people's sympathy and sense of responsibility, prompting them to participate in the search for missing persons, such as providing clues, forwarding information, etc.

At the same time, timely release of missing person information regarding the identity of the celebrity can reduce some unnecessary emotions among the public and avoid the spread of rumors.

Chris glanced at the watch on her wrist and said, "It's almost time now."

After saying that, Chris and Gregory looked at each other in York's speechless eyes, and the two of them immediately stood up and left the table, ignoring him.

"wait for me."

York picked up several egg rolls and stuffed them all into his mouth, then quickly stood up and followed the two men.

Led by Gregory, they came to a room.

Ignoring other furniture, there is a medium-sized TV placed in the center of the room.

After taking a look at the layout of the room, York naturally sat on the sofa in front of the TV with Chris, waiting for Gregory to finish.

Gregory stood nearby and fiddled with the remote control to switch the TV to a channel.

Images of a press conference began to appear on the screen.

What York could see was a white man who looked quite good, and a couple of elderly people who were dressed very decently, standing on the platform. Next to them was a headshot of a woman.

"The protagonist of the photo is the missing person Sinovi, and the man is her husband Jonatan, and standing next to him are Sinovi's parents." Chris explained.

York nodded to show that he understood, but he still couldn't help but say something.

"Is it really okay for you not to be present at the press conference?"

Gregory understood what York meant and just nodded. A white man with a face full of flesh and strong limbs standing in the corner said calmly.

"Let me introduce myself in advance. This is a member of our Fourth Squadron, Shesky. Like you, he was promoted from a patrol officer to a detective. He has been a police officer for more than eight years."

With Griegley's introduction, Yorks also saw Sheskey in the corner of the TV screen.

The first impression was that he looked unfamiliar. Although he was relatively sociable, he didn’t recognize him.

But this is normal. According to reliable data, the entire Los Angeles Police Department has more than 14,000 people. Excluding civilian staff, there are as many as 8,000 to 9,000 field staff, so there are many people he doesn't know.

However, Yorks did remember Sheskey's situation. He was promoted from a patrolman, worked for more than eight years and is still just an ordinary detective. This is enough to show that this guy is actually a noob.

Seeing Sheskey standing there, knowing that Gregory already had an idea in mind, Yorks began to watch the press conference organized by the Los Angeles Police Department seriously.

At this time, the caller Jonathan spoke, and the sound of the TV was very clear:

"As everyone knows, my wife Sinovi Eaton disappeared from our home in the early morning of February 1st. The circumstances at the scene are very suspicious. If anyone has any information, please contact us. Thank you."

However, to York, this long passage did not seem to have any emotional fluctuations.

The indifference shown by the other party on TV gave York the feeling that his wife's disappearance was a very normal thing for Jonathan.

This behavior, which is completely contrary to the facts, seems quite weird and awkward.

Chris noticed something was wrong with York: "Am I right?"

York nodded, watched Jonathan leave the field, and the missing person's parents spoke:

"There is something really strange about this guy."

The TV was still playing: "Sinovi is our only daughter. We all know that she has made great progress as a writer. Many people have read her books and found comfort in her writings.

She is smart, beautiful and kind. I believe everyone should care about her. If you have any clues, I hope you can tell the police in time. At the same time, we have established a volunteer center in Terry Hotel. Our hotline is 18554 Sinoway News and the website is www.findsinoway.com."

As for the rest, Yorks no longer listened, but just watched Sheskey leave with an expressionless face, allowing the husband and parents of the missing person to leave the press conference and give their own answers.

"This disappearance case is quite strange. I don't think it's just a simple disappearance case."

"That's what I think, too." Gregory turned off the TV, walked over and put the remote control on the TV table, and said calmly.

"Even the parents don't look like they care much about their daughter."

York spread his hands and expressed his biggest doubt: "So you want me to come here, what do you want me to do?"
