20.4 Washington Parcel Bombing Case IV
Early the next morning, Du Ping was dragged by Lisa to the first scene of the crime, the scene of the death of the leader of the thugs who often collected protection money on the streets.
It's a slum community, but it's a one-story building, with shops on the ground floor, and a high population density, so it's very lively. This is another characteristic of capitalism, where people who have no money live in high-rise buildings, and those who have money live in small courtyards.
The first bombing has been a long time since then, and people living here have to forget about the previous bombing, and the scene has been restored to a prosperous scene.
Standing on the top of a high-rise building with just the right line of sight, Du Pingping felt that the whole line of sight was much wider, no longer the sense of oppression brought by the dense city buildings, but a kind of freedom like a bird's happiness.
"The environment here is not bad!"
Du Pingzheng sighed, and suddenly found that Lisa next to him was glaring angrily at him.
"What's wrong?"
Lisa, "We're here to work!"
"We're here to work!"
Lisa, "Are you really here to work?"
Du Fair, "Of course!"
Du Pingping stared solemnly at the place below where the bombing had occurred.
"The density of people here is very high, and it is easy to cause injuries to passers-by. ”
Lisa, "This is a slum area, many people have never paid social security, and some people used to be black households or illegal immigrants. So the number of injured at that time was actually much more than 4 people, but some people with minor injuries refused to go to the hospital and be questioned by the police. Some of them just disappeared, so there was so little data in the files?"
Du Pingping, "That's a fraud in the case file?"
Lisa, "Because it's the result of multiple parties' mutual acquiescence." The injured person is reluctant to go to the hospital or be questioned. Officials do not want to find large-scale explosions in Washington that would affect the government's image and trigger imitation by terrorist groups. So this is also arguably one of the best options. ”
"Politics is a compromise. ”
Coming to the edge of the building, Du Pingping pointed to a trace.
"I think it's a trace caused by someone leaning over here with both hands and leaning down to look down, what do you think?"
Lisa, "If it coincides with last night's phase, then it's probably that Bang Brother." ”
"So it's the same as yesterday, call the people from the supervision laboratory." Is there any useful news from the Department of Homeland Security?"
Lisa, "the bomb expert there, thinks that the structure of the two bombs should be a bomb variant of an Islamic group called Sunset. ”
"What do you mean?"
Lisa, "The structure of this bomb, except for the balanced detonator, is very similar to the bomb taught in this organization's bomb tutorial. ”
Du Fair, "Bomb Tutorial?"
Lisa, "Yes, it's the kind of online video that is put on the Internet and allows people to download it. Nationalists are tracking down IPs that have accessed the video, hoping for progress. ”
At this time, Du Fair's mobile phone rang with the sound of text messages, and Du Fair's listless expression immediately became vivid when he saw this text message.
Lisa, "What's wrong?"
Du fair, "One of my couriers arrived. ”
Lisa, "Express?"
"It's a police station in a small southern town with a pile of suspicious bones in the mail. ”
Lisa, "Aaron seems to be ......"
"No problem, I asked them to send it directly to my residence. I'm going back now, and if Mrs. Ace accidentally breaks my package, she'll be very angry, and probably tell me to move out at once. ”
…………………………
On the first floor of Du Pingping's apartment, which belonged to Mrs. Ace's room, Mrs. Ace looked at Du Pingping with an extremely suspicious gaze, and at the same time handed a 30*30*50 cardboard box to Du Pingping's hands.
Madame, "Young man, I remember you worked in a crime lab?"
"Yes, it is a criminal behavior research laboratory that mainly studies the same kind of criminal behavior, the same and common characteristics. ”
"All right, Madame!" but I hope you don't send me anything strange. ”
"For example, Madam, you should understand that my job requires me to mail in books, magazines, newspapers, and so on. ”
Madame," "If that's the case, of course there's no problem. ”
Mrs. Ace hesitated for a long time, but still did not say the question she wanted to ask the most, but only warned Du Fair more vaguely.
Madame, "Young man, I don't want my apartment to be a haunted house, you know what I mean, right?"
"I think, I understand!"
Madame, "Very well! I've actually liked you a lot lately." Quiet, tidy, hygienic and polite, I hope my goodwill will continue and not let me down. ”
It seems that Mrs. Ace still suspects that Du Ping has obtained some special items from the crime scene, and if she hopes that the cardboard box she was holding just now is an incomplete dead human skeleton, will she immediately go crazy?
Du Pingping is not sure, let alone confirmed. So I hugged the cardboard box and slowly went upstairs.
Beles, "Hello, Du Fair!"
When I went upstairs, I happened to arrive at my female neighbor Belise, who seemed to have just gotten off work and was about to go upstairs.
Belise, "Do you need me to lift it for you?"
"Thank you, I think I can do it alone." ”
"You don't send any strange items, do you?" I just saw Mrs. Ace look at you in a strange way. ”
Du fair, "No. Just some information. ”
Belise, "Profile?"
Du fair, "The work is needed." ”
Belle whispered, "Actually, it doesn't matter, it's like I'll ask a friend to send the marijuana directly here." Mrs. Ace was skeptical, but she still had no way to prove it. So I can only be warned from time to time. ”
This is the country of soup, and smoking marijuana turns out to be a legal act, as long as you pay taxes. But Du Ping's Oriental concept still believes that marijuana is not a good thing.
"Marijuana is not a good thing. ”
"What's the matter? People always need to encourage themselves from time to time and numb themselves. I still have a batch of good goods in my room, do you need one?"
"Thanks, I don't need it." ”
Belles, "Feel free to come to me if you need to." It's free!"
At Belise's door, the two parted. Du Ping also returned to his room. The cardboard box was placed on the small round table at the door, and Du Ping first made himself a cup of coffee. Recently, I'm used to the strong taste of coffee, but the fragrant tea can't lift the feeling. This is a coffee machine recommended by Spencer, as soon as the beans are placed in the top compartment, the switch is turned on, and the machine will automatically make a hot, fragrant cup of coffee. All it takes is a little minute of waiting.
When the coffee is ready, open the carton again. At this time, the doorbell rang again.
When I opened the door, there was Belise in a bathrobe standing at the door. And inside that bathrobe, it was obvious that there was a vacuum.
Beles, "The hot water in my room is broken, can I use the bath in your room?"
Du Ping was stunned, is this to tempt his own rhythm? To be honest, his impression of Belle is very good. Cute, lively and cheerful. In this city that is completely unfamiliar to me, it is quite comfortable to have such a girl who is not disgusted, and to feel a little ambiguous from time to time. It's just that the pace and speed are a bit fast, right?
Bellex did not urge Du Ping, but stretched her body to show off her infinitely beautiful figure.
Belise, "Isn't that okay?"
"No problem. ”
Du Pingping held his coffee cup and made way for Belles. Belle smiled and walked into Du Ping's door, closed the door, and gently hugged Du Ping's body.
Belise, "Thank you!"
When Du Pingping was stunned on the spot, Belles walked into Du Pingping's bathroom charmingly, as if she had left a dark fragrance all the way, which made Du Pingping's heart not calm down for a long time. Walking to the small balcony outside the living room, looking at the scenery outside the city, and letting the cold water penetrate into the body and the room, Du Ping's heart slowly calmed down.
Girls always take a long bath, especially if a girl doesn't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, the time passes even longer. Du Pingping held the cardboard box on the small round table, walked into his study, used a paper cutter, unsealed the tape on it, put on the gloves that had been prepared a long time ago, and took out the bones one by one. A special form has already been prepared on the table, and the records are filled out one by one.
It was strange that Beles was heard walking out of the bathroom, and that she hadn't entered her study at will. It seems that as Lisa said, she is an interesting person who knows the scale.
When Du Fair walked out, Belle had already drunk the coffee in Du Fair's coffee machine. The lazy style after taking a bath, and the long hair that is warm and shoulder-grabbing, makes Belle seem to be more seductive than usual.
"I've finished my washing! I've poured myself a cup of coffee, no problem, right?"
Belise shook the coffee cup in her hand, as if she were the mistress of a room. At the same time, he pulled open his right arm, which was wrapped in the long sleeves of his bathrobe, felt the thin white arm, and pointed to a small wound on it that he didn't know what animal had bitten.
"You have a medical kit here, don't you?" I have a wound here that needs to be disinfected and bandaged. ”
"The bathroom is there." ”
Belles, "Grab it for me, okay?"
Du fair, "Okay. ”
Du Ping walked into the bathroom and found that it had been cleaned up. Although it can still be seen that someone has used it, it shows that Belise is not an unsophisticated girl. Opening the closet and taking out the medicine box, Du Ping walked out. At this time, Beles had already sat down at the small round table, with her forearms exposed, looking at Du Ping pitifully.
Belles, "Can you bandage me?"
Du fair, "Yes." ”
Du Ping sat down beside Belle with the medicine box, took out the disinfectant spray from the medicine box, and began to clean Belles's wounds.
"What animal bit this?"
"Chihuahuas, a very cute little dog, but a little grumpy. ”
"Do you have a dog?"
"How is it possible, Madame Ace can't allow it. So, I'll go to a pet store and do some work for free. This allows you to spend more time with cute animals. ”
Du Pingping looked at the traces of the wound and was a little distracted. Belle was very generous and looked at Du Fair.
Belles, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, if you don't mind, can I take a picture of this wound?"
Belles, "Wound photography?"
"Yes, I'm a criminal behavior researcher, and this scar gives me some inspiration. Is that okay?"
Belles, "Yes." ”
"Please wait a minute. ”
Du Ping returned to the study, and soon walked out with a camera. There is a burst of photography before and after, and then a playback study of the photographs taken. Finally, a satisfied smile is revealed. Only then did I realize that Belex on the side was looking at her strangely.
Du Pingping, "I'm very sorry to keep you waiting!"
With the camera set aside, Du Ping quickly bandaged Belles' wound.
"Okay, the wound doesn't look deep, I believe it will take another week to fully recover." ”
Belles, "You're such a weirdo!"
"What's wrong?"
Belise, "You really took pictures of wounds......"
…………………………
In Du Pingping's study, in the computer screen next to it, photos are being called up, and Du Pingping is studying against the camera.
Belle had already left, and now there was only Du Ping alone in the room. The bones that had just arrived in the afternoon had been put aside by Du Ping, and Du Ping's spirit had been attracted by these photos, so the time passed quickly.
The phone rang, and when I saw that the number turned out to be Lisa.
Lisa, "Where are you, why haven't you come back yet?"
Du Pingping looked at the watch in his hand and confirmed the time.
"I'm so sorry I forgot the time. ”
Lisa, "Okay! Something happened again, so you should come over quickly." ”
Du Pingping, "What's going on?"
Lisa, "Of course it's a series of bombings, and another person has died. ”
……
…………………………
In a middle-class neighborhood, in front of an ordinary two-story building, Lisa pulled in to Du Ping with a disgruntled face.
Lisa, "Where did you go?"
"I'm home. You know. ”
Lisa, "Aren't you just going to pick up one delivery?"
"The original plan was like this, but things changed a little bit. That female neighbor of mine, Belise, you know. She suddenly came to my house to take a shower. ”
Lisa, "She's taking a shower at your house?"
Du Fair, "Yes......"
Du Ping just wanted to tell himself about the discovery of the wound on Belise's body, but Lisa had lost interest in Du Ping's story and pulled Du Ping into the crime scene.
The place of the incident was the gate of this small building, and when the hostess of the family came to open the door, she was killed on the spot by the package bomb. The corpse lay silently in the foyer, not far from the small dining room, where a baby in a stroller was still crying. When Du Ping and Lisa entered, there were several people in the forensic laboratory who were nervously busy.
"Could it be that this baby was here when the explosion happened?"
Lisa, "Yes, they're contacting the baby's family, and they should be on their way here." ”
Soon, it seems that the bomb brother's skills have improved again, less than 4 meters, perfectly killing the target, and the baby has no effect. ”
Lisa, "This is my least favorite crime scene!"
Du Pingping, "My thoughts, everyone must have thought of them." Did someone nearby send someone to watch?"
Lisa, "Yes, all the places where this can be observed from a distance have been investigated by agents who have been dispatched. ”
"I'll just say that the FBI are all elites, and the things I can think of, others will think of a long time ago." ”
Lisa, "You don't have any other ideas?"
"Other ideas?" Du Ping thought for a moment, and then asked, "Why a housewife? Why do you think the target this time is a housewife who looks like a housewife?
Lisa, "Who knows? Many people and things are always different from what they see on the outside, whether they are bad people or not, and they need to be found out when the field staff come back." ”
With nothing to do, Du Ping browsed around the entire house, and soon took down a photo from the kitchen cabinet in the living room.
"It looks like our victim is running a beauty shop. ”
Lisa, "Any thoughts?"
"We can't help here, I want to go to this beauty shop to have a look, are you interested?"
Lisa, "Forget it, Aaron, they'll be coming over soon, I need to wait for them here." ”
"Okay then, I'll go over by myself." ”
Du showed the back of the photo to Lisa.
"I saw the address here, and it seemed to be very close to the first crime scene we went to last time. ”
Lisa, "I think you're wasting your time, the explosion has just happened, and it's the best time to solve the case, and these external investigations can be handed over to the people in the field." You don't have to do it yourself. ”
"I just had a little idea before I came today, and I just went to implement it." Good luck with you here. ”
At this moment, Lisa's cell phone suddenly rang. Lisa picked up her phone, and after a few words of calling, she immediately looked excited.
Lisa, "There's a guy watching with a telescope from a distance, I'm going to take a trip, will you go with you?"
"I won't, I'm still going to go to that beauty shop." ”
Lisa, "Okay then!"
Lisa ignored Du Fairness and turned to leave quickly.
