Gone: A Castle Fanfic

A bloody start

'Hey not one for the squeamish today,' said Ryan as he greeted Castle and Beckett in an unfamiliar alley in Manhattan.
'So whose the unfortunate soul?' replied Castle ready for a new case that could inspired his mind for possible story ideas.
'Actually it's a John doe, the is no wallet or any identification on the body,' replied Esposito, appearing behind Ryan's back. 'Lanie is gonna try and pull some finger prints of him when he is at the morgue.'
'Cool, could you start trying to pull a canvas in a 5 block radius while me and Castle talk to Lanie?,' Beckett asked. They nodded and walked off.

The body was horrific, just as Ryan had said, blood was all over the man's face. There was several stab wounds in his legs, bullet holes in his shoes and his hair was wet with blood. The man looked respectable; expensive suit, whitened teeth and a gold ring. He was tall and muscular with broad shoulders at any rate he didn't look like the kind of guy to be mixed up in anything serious.
'Cause of death?' asked Kate looking a bit pale.
'I don't know until I get him back to the morgue,' said Lanie looking perplexed. At the sight of the surprised faces on Castle and Beckett's faces she added: 'there is so many wounds I can't tell which one killed him but I can most definitely say he was tortured.'
'Yeah that's pretty clear, let me know if any thing comes up,' she said nodding towards her phone.

Castle and Beckett headed back to the car.
'Strange case today,' said Castle, whose brain was teeming with theories.
But Beckett wasn't listening, she could have sworn she had seen the victim before she just couldn't remember when.
