Luke was confident that no matter how bad Jessica's mental state was, it wouldn't get any worse after treatment.
At the same time, he could also test out the difference between Kilgrave's original abilities and the partial version that the system had replicated.
Jessica wasn't being so easy to talk to because she had a good temper.
This woman had been plagued by mental problems for a long time, and it was easier for her to lose control.
Without Elementary Pheromone Control, even if she didn't hit him, there was an 80% chance that she would turn hostile and leave. There was no way she would talk to him like this.
Seeing the anticipation in her eyes, Luke chuckled. "I know a little psychology, and I know about Molly's case and treatment."
Hearing the name of Molly, a victim who shared the same fate, Jessica couldn't help but ask, "How is she now?"
Luke said, "Before Christmas, she underwent a very effective treatment. She should be able to go home and recuperate in a while."
Jessica was stumped. "What effective treatment?"
She didn't think that any treatment would be effective after being tortured by Kilgrave. That kind of nightmare would definitely follow the victim for the rest of their lives.
Luke switched the lollipop in his mouth. "She saw Kilgrave's body with her own eyes and vented her emotions. She's a lot better now."
Jessica exclaimed, "What?"
She hadn't expected this answer, but she immediately asked, "Kilgrave is dead?"
Luke nodded. "He's been dead for more than half a month. His body is in the morgue at the forensics center. He'll be buried in the public cemetery soon."
Jessica found it hard to believe. "How is that possible? How did he die? "
Luke didn't think much of it. "He might have been involved in something. Hm, have you heard about the smiling man in New York recently? "
Jessica was stunned. Tilting her head, she thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "I think I heard Tracy mention this person. It seems that he … often wears a smiling mask as a vigilante?"
Luke nodded. "That's about it. Kilgrave was probably involved with a gang, and this gang happened to be the smiling man's target. That's why he died, along with dozens of other gang members. "
Jessica's mouth fell open, and she didn't know how to digest the news.
Kilgrave died just like that?
That incomparably terrifying monster that haunted him like a devil had died just like that?
At this moment, Jessica felt like a little girl in a village who was being bullied by a village tyrant. She could only hide in a corner where the bully couldn't see and tremble.
However, one day, someone suddenly said that the village tyrant had been killed by a passing hero.
After a long pause, she grabbed Luke's hand. "Where's Kilgrave's body?"
Luke: "NYPD's forensics center."
JESSICA stood up abruptly and leaped softly. She landed on the third floor with a bang and wanted to run away.
Luke turned his head helplessly. "Hey, you haven't finished your snacks. You don't want your wine or your camera anymore?"
This was a professional camera. In his previous life, it had been joked that "photography was poor for three generations, and SLR ruined a lifetime."
A professional scene could easily cost thousands of dollars, and one couldn't be considered a beginner without tens of thousands of dollars. Few ordinary people could afford to play like this.
For a private investigator, this was more like a source of income.
Without this thing, how could they take high-definition photos of a man and a woman from a distance? How could they facilitate their clients' divorce lawsuits?
JESSICA paused. "Help me keep it. I'm in a hurry." She then continued running.
Luke: "Hey, you're not thinking of breaking into the forensics center, are you? There are police officers guarding it. "
JESSICA: "I'll think of a way myself."
Luke looked at her like she was an idiot. "I can bring people in. What else do you need to think of?"
JESSICA finally stopped and looked up at him. "You?"
Luke unhurriedly closed the bottle of vodka and put away the snacks. He then picked up the camera and jumped lightly.
JESSICA subconsciously took two steps toward him, and wanted to reach out to catch him.
They had been on the third floor just now.
She had been able to jump because of her special body, but Luke didn't have that.
In the end, after Luke jumped over the railing, he grabbed the stairs on the third floor with his free hand and stepped onto the railing on the second floor. With another jump, he landed lightly on the street.
He walked over and gave the camera to jESSICA, who was stunned, and asked, "Did you drive?"
JESSICA shook her head. "No."
She was very strong, and could move very quickly through the alleys. She didn't need to drive at all.
Luke pointed at the alley next to them. "My car's over there. Let's go."
Half an hour later, Luke took jESSICA into the forensics center.
There were a lot fewer people in the forensics center at night, but there were also a lot of people working overtime.
As an industry that was always short of manpower, forensic scientists were busier than regular police detectives.
Police detectives were always busy with cases, and forensic scientists also had endless work to do.
There were more and more unsolved cases in the police department, and more and more unexamined evidence in the forensics center.
It was basically impossible to do forensics on ordinary cases, because it was likely that they would have to wait a few months or even a year before a report could be produced.
Even for many criminal cases, they tried to do as little as possible, or they would have to wait a few months before a report could be produced.
For major criminal cases, it was standard practice to produce a report in a few weeks.
Unless he found someone he knew, it would be very difficult to get a report quickly.
Thankfully, Luke wasn't here to get a report; he had someone he knew.
After Lanie made a call, Luke took jESSICA to the morgue.
The forensic scientist who led the way was also very busy. He only wrote down Luke's name and department before he left.
If they had connections, they could be so casual.
If it didn't matter, the other party wouldn't have let them come to the morgue at all.
Of course, Luke owed jESSICA a small favor this time.
After the forensic scientist left, Luke said to jESSICA, "Before we see his body, there's something we need to talk about."
JESSICA nodded silently.
"First of all, you're not allowed to damage the property here, especially the freezer and the professional equipment. You can't afford to pay for it, nor can you bear the trouble," he said.
JESSICA was stunned. "Huh?"
Luke said, "If you smash the freezer, the dozens of bodies inside might be in trouble. It'll cost thousands to tens of thousands of dollars to fix it. Do you have that much money?"
JESSICA …
She really didn't have that much money, or rather, she didn't have any at all.
"Second, don't smash Kilgrave's body into a meat patty. If you do, neither the forensic scientist nor I will be able to explain it, and you'll go to jail," Luke continued.
JESSICA hesitated. She really wasn't sure if she could hold back.
