Chapter 1164 Poisoning and Call Girls

Jack shook his head to indicate that he had no impression of him, and Attorney General Jackson shrugged and took the initiative to introduce him.

"A very famous hedge fund manager. If you watch TV often, you may have seen him on a talk show. He is the one who often blushes and says that the subprime mortgage crisis is not a big deal."

"Sounds like a big shot?" Since the other party used a sarcastic tone, Jack smiled and agreed. It can be seen that the Attorney General must be a little overwhelmed by this case, and there is a lot of complaint in his words.

"The problem now is that his legal team wants to attribute this incident to suicide. This way, please."

Attorney General Jackson took Jack through the entire hotel corridor and came to the door of a luxury suite at the end.

This place was not like a normal crime scene, with no entry cordoned off at the door, the door was also closed, and the two men in suits standing at the door did not look like police officers.

"Open the door." Attorney General Jackson nodded slightly to the two of them, then took Jack into the room.

"I asked the people below to maintain the integrity of the scene as much as possible. If you can overturn the lawyers' statements, perhaps you can buy us enough time."

The body had been removed from the room, and someone had drawn a human outline in chalk in the traditional way where the body had fallen.

"You guys?" Jack put on gloves and used a purple light to scan the cups and other objects on the bar counter one by one.

"Yes, we." The prosecutor gestured to the two people standing guard at the door, and waited until the door was closed again before continuing.

“Ms. Anderson is seeking a seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and there is a reason why I wanted you to come alone. At least three state supreme court judges have asked me whether these cases will be heard.

This kind of thing makes some people very nervous, and they hope to suppress it directly. Therefore, before the evidence is conclusive, I hope to keep a low profile. Do you understand me?"

Of course Jack could understand that it was just a simple political deal.

The Attorney General probably saw some opportunities in this and wanted to make things bigger, but he was worried that his subordinates were not capable enough and would face backlash, so he wanted to listen to the advice of professionals first.

Jack also noticed that Attorney General Jackson used plural forms to describe the case, but he did not rush to ask questions immediately. Instead, he gave him a reassurance pill first.

Picking up an opened box of tadalafil tablets from the bar counter, Jack smiled and asked the prosecutor, "Generally speaking, most men don't take erectile dysfunction drugs before committing suicide. Does this Hoyt Asift have a family?"

"Yes, his wife and children were at home at the time of the incident." Attorney General Jackson's eyes lit up, and he was obviously very satisfied with Jack's question that hit the point.

"So do you think she was a lover or a call girl?" A rich man died in a suite in a luxury hotel in the middle of the night, with men's medicine prepared on the table. There should be no other explanation.

Attorney General Jackson lowered his voice further, “Agent Tawalla, after I leave this room, I will not admit to anything I say next, and it should not appear in any report.

According to my investigators, Hoyt Asift withdraws $20,000 in cash from his fund almost every Wednesday, and last night was no exception."

"Twenty thousand dollars a night? High-class call girls?" Although Jack didn't show any expression on his face, he was secretly shocked in his heart. This guy is playing high-end. If he is single, an annual income of sixty to seventy thousand dollars is already considered middle class in the United States, and this rich man spends more than this amount on call girls every month.

Attorney General Jackson sneered and curled his lips in disdain, "I personally asked the hotel guards and waiters, but found nothing. No one noticed that a suspicious woman was here."

"This is not surprising. Such luxury hotels need to maintain their reputation and protect the privacy of their guests. They cannot easily admit that there are prostitutes. Moreover, a woman who can charge $2 a night will not be easily recognized for her true profession."

As Jack spoke, he picked up a long, light-blond hair from the sofa with tweezers and put it into the evidence bag.

"Have the poison test results come out?" The smell near the sofa was not very pleasant. Although he did not see the body at the scene, he could also judge that the deceased had symptoms such as urinary incontinence before death.

"Yes, the lab said 'TETS'."

The prosecutor pointed to a stain on the carpet in front of the sofa and said, "There is an overturned wine glass there. I asked someone to do a test privately."

"Rat poison"? Jack suddenly realized that "TETS" stands for tetramethylene disulfone tetramine, an organic compound and a neurotoxin that is 100 times more toxic than potassium cyanide.

"It can be basically determined that this was a murder. The murderer put poison in the victim's wine glass before having sex with him. The drug took effect during foreplay, and the period before death was quite painful.

The whole body was convulsing, foaming at the mouth, similar to an epileptic seizure, and then completely lost consciousness, with no possibility of resistance or seeking help. "

Jack's description made Attorney General Jackson shudder uncontrollably, and he subconsciously recalled the horrifying scene when he saw the body of the deceased at the scene last night.

"How many similar cases do you suspect are related to this one?"

The prosecutor just came to his senses and blurted out without thinking, "One, maybe two, maybe more, I'm not sure.

Because these are some 'big shots' involved, you know, even my investigators have encountered many obstacles. "

Contrary to most people's impression, in the United States, the investigation of many cases is not completed by the police, but by investigators under the prosecutor's office.

These investigators are appointed by the prosecutor's office and are only responsible to prosecutors or assistant prosecutors. This also means that prosecutors can completely ignore the constraints of the local police system and independently complete the case investigation work.

Handing the evidence bag to the other party, Jack took off his rubber gloves and said, "Please send someone to deliver these and the suspicious hairs collected from the deceased's body and clothes to the CSI laboratory in New York as soon as possible.

I may be able to gather one or two helpers, and I'll also need any other case information you suspect may be related to this case."

The prosecutor nodded and opened the door. "Then the case is handed over to you, but please keep a low profile."

The two left the crime scene and went to the first floor of the hotel. Jack took out his cell phone and sent a message to Jiejie and Aubrey, asking them to come to Dallas as soon as possible to meet him.
