The meeting adjourned, and Aaron got up and left, followed by Jeppa, Ray, and Lisa. Peggy the chubby girl sat there playing with a brand-new hairpin and asked Spencer.

Peggy, "What does he mean?"

Spencer, "In this case, the FBI headquarters used three special laboratories at the same time, we, the supervisor, and the public information ......"

Peggy, "What the hell do you mean?"

"What Spann means is that Aaron wants the crime lab to thrive. ”

Peggy, "Is that okay? I don't think the Supervisor might have a bigger advantage there." ”

"Who knows? In fact, in this case, Lei's ability may be more helpful." It's just, just 2 cases, is it really worth the FBI's big fight?"

Peggy, "This is Washington! Does Washington understand? Any small problem may be a big event." ”

Spencer, "A brick falling from a height will hit 4 councillors." ”

Peggy, "2 diplomats. ”

Spencer, "3 richest people in the world......

……

Peggy and Spencer continue to be heartlessly naughty, like two living treasures in a lab. Du Pingping found that at the door of the conference room, Lisa seemed to be waiting for him there. Du Ping walked out of the conference room, and Lisa immediately walked up side by side.

Lisa, "You're still in a cold war with Aaron? ”

"You're thinking too much!" Du explained fairly, "I'm more of a temporary worker than you and Aaron. I don't have the idea of staying in the FBI for long, I'm only responsible for my agreements. Recently, I've been researching the purpose of our lab's initial setup and how it will position itself in the future. I think our crime labs are going to be more and more important if we want to stay around for a long time. Finally, we position our strengths in big data analysis and criminal psychological analysis of similar cases, so as to predict the possibility of future actions of criminals. Therefore, for today's temporary cases, the supervision laboratory has more advantages. They have first-hand information on the scene and are the easiest to get possible clues. ”

Lisa sighed, "The ideal is good! The reality is cruel. Labs need to be accountable to their investors, and that's the FBI headquarters. Therefore, the laboratory does not have the strength and qualifications to say that the cases assigned by the FBI headquarters are not under my control. It is estimated that for a long time, our laboratory will have to live with its tail between its legs. ”

"Even if this is the case, you must know your own position and constantly strengthen your ability." And the last time I visited Hongfeng Town, I found that in fact, the grassroots institutions below actually need us more than the bureaucrats in Washington. ”

Lisa, "Du, don't be so stubborn, okay? I want our internal notice to be united. This time, it was also because the news from the supervision laboratory was not very good, so the headquarters asked us to join. ”

Du Fair, "No clues?"

Lisa, "No. ”

…………………………

Although Lisa continued to work hard, Du Ping still didn't have any idea of taking the initiative to communicate with Aaron. In fact, Du Pingping is constantly taking on private jobs, those jobs that come from all over the state of Tongan to help and help. It is precisely because of these private jobs that Du Pingping did not notice how unacceptable Aaron's deliberate suppression of himself was.

In Du Pingping's office, a white skull is placed on the table, and Du Pingping is constantly observing and researching, constantly depicting a man's head on a sketch board on the side. Lisa opened the door and walked in.

Lisa, "Du Fair." ”

"Please wait a minute. ”

Du Pingping continued to finish his sketch before he looked at Lisa.

Du Ping, "What's the matter?"

Lisa, "Du fair, we need your help. ”

With a smile, Du Pingping put the sketch into a fax, and dialed the other party's phone, and the fax began.

"I've been working. ”

Lisa, "You have an issue with Aaron?"

Du fair, "No. Why do you ask?"

Lisa, "Then why aren't you so active in solving this serial bombing?"

Du Pingping, "The Oriental motto is 'each performs his own duties, each does his duty', and he must do his own work." Since I came to the lab as an anthropologist, my greatest responsibility is to apply the science of anthropology to the study of crime. If you don't concentrate on your work, Cheng Tian just wants to be in the limelight and crack it. There is also an idiom in the East called 'Ji Si Chen', which is a derogatory term. You know what I mean!"

Lisa, "But the team needs your abilities, your ability to solve cases. ”

Du Pingping, "Lisa, there is an idiom in the East called 'care is chaos'. You have lost your original position because you have taken the case so seriously. First, if I join the investigation of this case, there will definitely be a breakthrough? Second, the FBI is composed of many professionals who are very good in the world, and they are all excellent, so you have to believe in their abilities. 3. The most important thing in solving a case is not conjecture, but first-hand physical evidence and what is the situation at the crime scene?

Lisa placed a stack of papers on Du Ping's desk.

Lisa, "The Supervisory Laboratory has started to share their information with us, the headquarters takes this case very seriously, and everything you need is not a problem." And Du Pingping, Tang Guo also has a proverb 'the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility'. I don't want you to be like the Oriental habit of always hiding the good stuff. ”

Du Pingping, "That's called 'broom self-cherishing'." I've finished my work today, so let's study this case together!"

Lisa, "Du Fair, don't you think that fighting crime is our responsibility and pursuit?"

"Fighting crime is our responsibility and pursuit, but it doesn't mean that because it's Huashi, human life here is more valuable and noble!"

Du Pingping picked up the skull on the table, wrapped it in a bubble wrap bag, and put it into a small cardboard box of 20*20*20.

"This is a case in a small city, the victim still doesn't know who it is, and now the first time the case is being investigated, I feel that they lack help in terms of technical support!"

Lisa, "Du fair, you will offend people like this." ”

If people do not have their own principles, they will not have their own souls, and they will no longer be creative. I think my strength comes from the morality in my heart. ”

Lisa, "Du fair, probably what you think has its own right." But Tongguo is a capitalist society, where everyone has to pay attention to the return on investors, and our investment is the FBI, so we have to synchronize with the FBI. ”

"Aaron asked you to tell me, right?"

Lisa was silent.

Lisa, "Aaron wants this case for you to take over now." ”

Du Pingping, "Is it an order?"

Lisa, "Yes. ”

Du Pingping, "What about Lei?"

Lisa, "Ray is Ray, you are you, two lines in parallel." ”

Du fair, "Okay, no problem. ”

…………………………

On the display screen of a computer, pictures are being displayed. Lisa sat next to Du and updated him on the latest developments in the case.

Lisa, "...... This is the fragments of the bomb collected at the scene. As can be seen from these fragments, this is an earthen steel tube bomb, packed in a cardboard box, using mercury triggering, very simple and efficient, there are contacts at both ends of the vacuum tube filled with mercury, as long as it is tilted, mercury flows into one of them, it can connect the contact, activate the detonator, and thus detonate the bomb. ”

"How's the progress on Ray's side?"

Lisa, "It's not big, Ray thinks the killer made the delivery himself, and it can't have been through the post office." There is no contact between the deceased, and the field team has ruled out the possibility that the deceased Mette was a bomber, as well as the possibility that the gang leader Jill. What we are dealing with now is a skilled criminal, not an explosive rookie. ”

"Not members of terrorist organizations? They like to train their personnel in this kind of bombing, which is simple, efficient, and extremely influential and deterrent." ”

Lisa," Ray thinks not. However, the field is contacting the Department of Homeland Security to conduct an information check-up in this regard and to compare the characteristics of terrorist group bombs around the world. At the supervision laboratory, the fragments of the two explosions have been recovered, and two models of bombs with the same structure have been obtained, which are already certain to have been committed by the same person. Moreover, this bomb structure has been checked through the case database of our laboratory, and there has never been a bomb with a similar structure in Tong's country. ”

Du Ping stood up suddenly, came to the window, and looked outside.

"It's still very bright outside. ”

Lisa, "yes, what's wrong?"

"I feel that we should take advantage of the dawn to go to the scene of the case first and take a look." ”

…………………………

It is a noble community, and because the scene of the explosion is still preserved, and the patrols and cordons have not been removed, the residents of this place are always in a hurry, and the uneasiness in their eyes is very obvious.

"I thought the scene here had been cleaned up. ”

Lisa, "I don't know what the above thinks, maybe I think there might be something else extracted from the crime scene? ”

"I think there's something in common between the bombers and the arsonists, and that's that they might come back at the crime scene to watch. Watch the damage they cause in action, and some of the bombers will make some technical improvements based on their mistakes. Ray, what do you think over there?"

Lisa, "Ray also thought that the culprit might return to the scene of the explosion, so he asked all the onlookers present at the scene to take pictures, however, it seems that there is not much progress. ”

Standing at the center of the explosion, Du Ping looked around, and suddenly pointed in one direction. ”

"Actually, if you just observe the scene, you don't have to be on the scene. In fact, there are many precedents for such things. What do you think of the high platform over there? It looks like there's a telescope up there. ”

…………………………

It is a small artificial platform at the top of a hill on which 3 fixed field telescopes are placed. Lisa has already called in the management here.

"It's an avialist, and when the winter is over, some people come over and look through the binoculars to see the wild birds in the lake. These three bird-watching telescopes were donated by a non-profit organization, and they hope that more people can like and care about birds, and at the same time, they will not affect the normal life of birds. It's still cold, so it's rare for people to come, but there are children who come to play. ”

Lisa, "Three days ago afternoon, at the same time as the bombing over there, was there anyone here? and using this telescope?"

Administrator, "I can't remember this! But there seems to be such a person, carrying a black bag." However, it was far away and I didn't really pay attention, so I can't remember it clearly. ”

Lisa turned on the computer and retrieved several photos of people carrying bags from the computer.

Lisa, "There's no one in there?" ”

The Administrator shook his head, "I can't remember that. ”

Lisa closed the computer regretfully and looked at Du Ping next to her. Du Pingzheng was using the three telescopes here one by one, when he suddenly stopped in front of one of them and beckoned to Lisa.

Du Fair, "Look at this!"

Lisa came to the telescope and found that the image of the explosion site was clearly visible in the mirror.

Lisa, "This one?"

Du Pingping, "Call the people from the supervision laboratory." Maybe it's really Lady Luck's care, the direction and focal length are just right, and someone must have used this telescope to see the scene. However, it may also be that the person looking at the bird was attracted by the explosion, so he turned the camera over. So we didn't know until the supervision and field personnel completed the investigation. ”

Lisa, "Okay. ”

Lisa began to pull out her phone, and Du Ping walked out along the artificial path that connected the small platforms. After a while, Lisa, who had finished the call, chased after her.

Lisa, "What's wrong?"

"Guess how the person who made the telescope should have come about?"

Lisa, "Is it a bicycle?"

"Quite possibly. If it was really the bomber, he must have come here directly after delivering the bomb. And the trail here is not suitable for bicycles, he needs a short walk, so you will leave your bike there?"

Lisa, "Is that there?"

Lisa pointed ahead to a row of low iron railings that could be used to lock bicycles.

"Quite possibly. Let's go over and see. By the way, what about the administrator?"

Lisa, "I told him to look at the telescope there and wait for the overseer to come." ”

Du Pingping, "I wanted to ask him, so forget it?"

Du Ping came to an ice cream truck parked there.

Du Pingping, "Boss, here, the afternoon before yesterday, when the bombing occurred, did anything happen?"

The ice cream owner shook his head and said no. Du Ping watched left and right for another long time and shook his head at Lisa.

It was already getting dark, and Du Ping looked at the sky.

"Let's go to another site tomorrow!"

…………………………

It's already dark, but the crime lab is still lit up because of the principles of the Washington package bombing.

Spencer's desk, where Spencer was playing a game of chess, was a very fast move, almost the moment the opponent finished playing, he played his own piece here. So a game of chess will be over in a few minutes.

It seems that Spencer is more comfortable with this kind of play, so Du Ping failed. And he lost a lot of rounds, which made the side of Peggy heckle more than once. At this time, Lisa came back and came to the faces of the three of Du Ping, who were having a good time, with a gloomy face.

Du Ping was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Lisa, "There are a few fingerprints collected by the supervisor, but none of them are in the FBI criminal information database, so there is no way." ”

"That's normal, isn't it?"

Lisa, "What should we do next?"

Lisa was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but Du Ping was not in a hurry. I took the information that Lisa had brought back and studied it slowly. And while studying, I also played chess with Spencer, as if I was reading a book for leisure.

Due to the result of inattentiveness, Du Ping really lost again.

Lisa, "You can't stop playing, and now that everyone is working on this case, isn't it good for you to do this?"

"What's the impact? It's useless to do it now." Although it was only two, if I guessed correctly, in fact, our bomb brother's pursuit of bombs is actually getting less and less powerful, the first time it was able to kill 5 people, and the second one only suffered some fright and minor injuries. There are only three explanations for this, one is that this bomb brother is not skilled in skills and cannot master the amount of explosives. The second is intentional. Third, he did not have enough explosives. The assessment of the scale of the explosion from the Monitor's report also bears witness to my judgment, not only in terms of the number of injured people, but also in terms of the scope of the explosion and the power of the explosion. So if we can put it together again, we can judge whether my guess is correct or not. ”

Lisa, "Do you want it to happen again?" The FBI and Aaron must be crazy. ”

Du Pingping, "The mentality should be balanced, just like the doctor in the hospital, being anxious will not play any role, but may cause medical accidents." The decision to explode or not is not up to us, but to our exploding brother. And I think the later he is, the more he's thinking about more valuable targets, which is not a good thing for the FBI. ”

Lisa, "I don't feel that good. Any suggestions?"

Du fair, "No. There is a saying in the East, 'the sky is going to rain, the mother is going to marry', so you can only go with it. ”

Du Ping suddenly picked up a photo of the bomb model, pointed to a few points in the base, and asked Lisa.

"What is this?"

Lisa, "It looks like a scar from the impact of the explosion as the pieces hit each other, which should be very common at the scene of an explosion." ”

"Is that so?"

Lisa, "Yes. ”
