The Riddle
I'm not law enforcement, but work with officials
And Captain America gave me six initials
Despite that piano, I'm hardly one note
With an accent toward insight surrounding a throat
Answer
In the 2019 movie Knives Out, Daniel Craig's detective Benoit Blanc is a private investigator, though there are two police detectives who he works with throughout the movie. Ransom (played by Captain America himself, Chris Evans) refers to Blanc as "CSI: KFC;" it's a nickname with six initials. Early in the film, he signals the detectives by playing the highest note on a piano. He has a thick southern accent and is investigating the death of Harlan Thromby, whose throat was slit.
