Volume 1: First Arrival Chapter 76 Clear at a Glance
Kirk's words ended Nate's struggle.
However, Nate looked at Kirk. Those calm eyes looked at him, as if they could see through his heart at a glance. That naked feeling made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Subconsciously, the words came out, "You know prosecutors are not supposed to discuss cases with anyone."
"Indeed." Kirk nodded slightly in agreement, "But no one knows about this, right?"
"etc!"
"Or is it that there are no secrets between you and the prosecutor, and you even share the details of what happened in the bedroom?"
It only takes a second.
Nate rolled his eyes speechlessly, and when he turned around, he saw Kirk's eyes blinking with curiosity, looking like he really wanted a beating.
The words swirled on the tip of his tongue, but he finally swallowed them. Nate refused to be led by Kirk, so he simply changed the subject.
"You know Jeremy MacDonald, the sports anchor on Channel 11?"
Nate had just opened his mouth when he saw Kirk's half-smile on his face.
A little bit of teasing, a little bit of banter, a little bit of joking.
Kirk, "I never knew you watched Channel Eleven."
Nate, “No, I don’t watch…”
Kirk, "It's okay, it's okay. Although I don't watch Channel 11, I have no prejudice. You can like Channel 11. It's okay if you like it."
In the United States, in addition to the well-known national wireless TV stations such as CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, etc. and a series of pay cable TV stations, there are also a large number of local TV stations. In fact, these local TV stations are an important output force of all-day TV programs.
This includes the four major wireless TV stations.
They also have their own chain of local TV stations, with branches in different states, providing targeted end-to-end output of local content.
Generally speaking, the four major wireless TV stations have their own program schedules, which are allocated according to time periods.
To give a simple example, the time periods from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. are unified by all TV stations, which broadcast popular programs via national signals; while the other time periods are given to local TV stations, which either replay popular programs or broadcast local programs, which are different.
Therefore, in different states and cities, the TV channels are different and the program contents are also different.
Channel 11 is the CW's exclusive New York State channel and has been providing exclusive local programming for New York since 1948.
The CW TV station specializes in broadcasting youth programs. Gossip, soap opera, youth, high school, and idols are all key words. Naturally, as a local TV station under the CW, Channel 11 also tends to follow the same route, focusing on appearance, but the quality of the program content is not guaranteed.
Overall, the audience of CW TV station is mainly middle school students.
Hence, the above conversation took place.
Kirk looked at Nate, who was speechless, and said, "Channel 11, sports anchor, and then what?"
Nate let out a long breath, took a deep breath, and got back to business, reminding himself not to get off track.
"Four months ago, MacDonald met a woman, Debora Fisher, in a bar and the two hit it off immediately."
"According to Fisher, she had just come to New York from Houston and was working as a first-grade teacher at an elementary school in Brooklyn. She came to a new city in pursuit of a new life, so she went to the bar to seek some excitement and met McDonald."
"We have investigated and found that Fisher has no criminal record in either Texas or New York. He is completely innocent."
"McDonald worked at a local TV station, so Fisher didn't know him at all. The two had no connection at all. It was their first meeting in the bar."
"But McDonald revealed his identity. According to the bartender, this is his usual method, using his identity as a sports anchor to move between different women. After he flirted with all the women in Channel 11, he had to look for ."
Nate could sense Kirk's playful look and muttered softly, "The series reflects reality. It turns out that Channel 11 is the inspiration for the CW idol drama." The murmur was not loud, but the eyes and smile were very lethal, and it was really hard for Nate not to pay attention.
"What?" Nate asked subconsciously, but seeing Kirk's lazy smile, Nate raised his hands in surrender, "Forget it, I don't need to know, I don't care, and I'm not interested. Let's continue to focus on the case."
Kirk, smiling, slowly put a cherry into his mouth -
Baji, Baji.
Nate took a deep breath and brought his thoughts and focus back.
"This time is no exception."
"When two people meet, it's like a bolt of lightning and a fire."
"Afterwards, MacDonald took Fisher to the Channel 11 building and had sex in his studio, and it was... passionate."
"Fingernail scratches were visible on MacDonald's back and arms, and bruises were also visible on Fisher's body."
At this point, Nate paused for a moment. He thought Kirk would make a joke, but he unexpectedly discovered that Kirk's expression was very focused.
Listen attentively.
At this time Nate stopped, and Kirk's thoughts were not interrupted. He still remained patient and waited quietly.
Nate was a little embarrassed. He picked up the water cup and took a sip of water to cover up his wandering thoughts.
Then I heard Kirk's calm voice, "You thought I would make some jokes, but I didn't, right?"
cough.
Nate nearly spit out a mouthful of water, and his drinking action froze slightly. Finally, he decided to ignore the guy and continue talking.
"After the sex, Fisher killed MacDonald with a paper cutter. Judging from the layout of the wounds, it should be a crime of passion."
"Maybe she couldn't control her hormones, or maybe McDonald told her it was just a joke - McDonald is a famous playboy on Channel 11, but Fisher is just an ordinary elementary school teacher. Fisher may find it difficult to accept this reality."
"In short, McDonald bled to death on the spot, Fisher's fingerprints were all over the paper cutter, Fisher's DNA could be found on McDonald's back and in his fingernails , and combined with the testimony of the bartender in the bar and the security guard of the TV station building, the time of death also fits."
"All the evidence points to Fisher."
"Soon after, the police arrested Fisher."
"Fisher cooperated very well with the investigation. She admitted to the encounter in the bar and the passion in the live studio, but she denied the murder."
"She stated that she had lost consciousness before the relationship ended and when she woke up she was in the elevator and then went home alone."
"She said she was drunk and many of her memories were blurry. She couldn't remember how she got home."
"But she was absolutely certain that she had not killed anyone. She had not seen or touched the murder weapon, let alone committed the crime."
The whole story of the case is clear at a glance. From the perspective of the police and prosecutors, this is just a very simple case.
