Chapter 562: Case Analysis

The deputy director of the CIA picked up the phone calls of two agents of the protection director, Leon Panetta, in the early morning, "Your Excellency, just one to three minutes ago, Director Leon Panetta was murdered and died in room 1208 of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, and now it is in front of our eyes. One of the agents outside the door reported.

"WHAT!OH SHIT!" THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR SUDDENLY SAT UP FROM THE BED, "WHO'S SO ANNOYING TO CALL AT THIS TIME!" COMPLAINED THE PETITE NEWLYWED WIFE, WHO HAD JUST BEEN MARRIED FOR THREE YEARS, LYING NEXT TO THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR.

"Something is wrong, Leon Panetta has just died! I have to go out, you lock the doors and windows at home!" After saying that, the director quickly picked up his underwear from the bedside and walked out of the door, saying into the phone as he walked: "You guys protect the scene now, lock down the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, I'll be there in five minutes, do you understand?"

"Yes, Director!" Leon Panetta died, and the agent amusefully referred to the Deputy Director as the Director.

The deputy director of the CIA, whose name was Mark Canton, quickly sorted out his thoughts while getting dressed outside the house, and made the following arrangements according to the priorities of the matter: First, call the CIA's forensic doctors and agents to the scene to collect evidence and lock down the suspect as quickly as possible. Although the CIA claims to be an intelligence gathering department, it is actually also a US military department, and the murder of the head of an intelligence department and military department must be reported to the president, the commander-in-chief of the three US armed services, who is directly in charge of the CIA. This is the program! No one dares to break it!

At 2:30 a.m., 15 minutes after the incident, a large number of CIA agents and FBI went to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to cordon off the hotel scene, and the famous American forensic Chinese detective Li Changyu also came to the scene to investigate.

At three o'clock in the morning, the "security fortress" on the basement floor of the Pentagon next to the White House was opened again, which was the venue for the emergency meeting on national security affairs. Kelly, White House chief of staff Pete Law, and finally CIA Deputy Director Mark Canton, who is now the acting director of the CIA, sat at the very end of his desk. There were ten people in the room, and when they arrived, the guards outside the door closed the door of the conference room and stood guard outside the door.

"Mark, tell me about the situation. President Obama said with red eyes, in fact, these people in the room were woken up an hour ago, and everyone came to the meeting with red eyes.

"Yes, Mr. President!" Mark Canton replied before continuing: "At 2:15 a.m. today, I received a call from the former CIA Director Leon Panetta's side of the agent who protected him, saying that Director Leon Panetta had been murdered between 2:10 and 15 a.m. in Room 1208 of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. ”

"Is it the Cultural Oriental Hotel next to the federal government in Huashengton?" Hillary interjected.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" replied Mark Canton.

"Okay, you go ahead. Hillary Clinton said.

"As soon as I received the call, I quickly organized capable agents from the CIA to rush to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to cordon off and protect the scene. Then I called FBI Director Robert Miller and asked them to assist, and that's all I know so far. If you want to know the situation on site, we can make an on-site connection. At this point, he nodded at President Obama.

At this time, FBI Director Robert Miller said: "Yes, I received a call from Mark and sent FBI agents, including forensic doctors, to the scene. ”

"It seems that the latest situation is still to connect with the scene and listen to the latest reports of the agents who collected evidence at the scene. President Obama sat down at the top and said.

Hearing the president's order, FBI Director Robert Miller immediately picked up a red phone on the table and made a call, and after saying a word to prepare for the connection, two 60-inch LCD TVs on each wall on both sides of the conference room were turned on, and soon the video images of the scene came from the TV, and it was the Chinese detective Li Changyu who was in charge of the scene commentary.

Li Changyu calmly said to the camera in the agent's hand that can transmit video online: "President and Excellencies, I received an order from my superiors to rush to the scene of the crime at 2:30 in the morning, the deceased is the director of the CIA, Leon Panetta, the time of death is no more than 20 minutes, that is, between 2:10 and 15 in the morning, the deceased Leon Panetta was shot in the abdomen with a large-caliber sniper rifle, and his body was broken and died of excessive blood loss. The camera follows for a moment. Li Changyu said to the agent with the camera in front of him, "Let's take a look at this hole with a diameter of 30 centimeters in the window of the guest room, and the lens gives a close-up." The agent with the camera in hand pushed the camera into the window for a close-up, "According to weapons experts, the only weapon that can create such a large hole in a window sandwiched between three layers of bulletproof glass and two layers of industrial glue can only be done by an anti-materiel sniper rifle, and it must be a 20 mm caliber armor-piercing round." Push the camera to the corpse on the ground. The ten people in the room are all politicians, although they have seen photos of dead people before, but the first time they have seen the corpse that was cut in two by a sniper rifle, at this time Leon Panetta's blood on the ground has not yet dried, and the flowers are mixed together to be "beautiful", Hillary and another woman, Nancy Pelosi, the president of the House of Representatives, only glanced at it and did not dare to look at it again.

At this time, Li Changyu continued to point to another deceased next to him and said: "Another CIA agent identified as Arianne Davis, a former female CIA agent who has been missing for more than ten days, died of a mechanical twist of the cervical vertebrae, that is, she was broken by an external force, and the time of death is presumed to be about two o'clock in the morning, ten minutes earlier than Director Leon Panetta, and she was obviously tortured before her death, with obvious injuries on her body." But the fatal injury was a fracture of the cervical vertebrae. Based on the situation at the scene, I now make a preliminary judgment that this is the case, and if I want to know more about the situation, I need to perform an autopsy before I can make a report. ”

Just before the end of the video connection, Li Changyu added: "According to our questioning of the agents who protected Director Leon Panetta just now, they determined that Leon Panetta heard an unusual noise less than ten minutes after entering the room. Panetta was shot and fell to the ground, and then the two agents said that their director had a black briefcase when he entered the house, and that the briefcase contained at least one special IBM laptop issued by the CIA, as well as a portable phone, but when we checked the room, none of these things, and the preliminary judgment was that the killer had taken two things. Debriefing is complete. ”

"Wait a minute! Mr. Lee. FBI Director Robert Miller said before the video link was turned off, "Mr. Lee, just now you said that Director Leon Panetta only had a total of 10 minutes from the time he entered the house to the time he found out that he had been shot, but how did the murderer enter the hotel room and take Leon Panetta's laptop, mobile phone, and other items? Also, how did he bring the female agent into the room, and how did he torture the female agent without making a sound and alert the bodyguards outside the door? With your years of experience in handling cases, can you explain?"

Hearing FBI Director Robert Miller's question, Li Changyu obviously hesitated, and after thinking about it for more than ten seconds, he said: "Director Miller, in fact, the question you asked is also what I am puzzled about. After Director Panetta entered the room, he only moved around the living room, and did not enter other rooms, and from the investigation of the scene, there was indeed no trace of other rooms entering from the outside, and there were two agents guarding the door of the room, so it can be said that this is the most peculiar case I have handled in the past forty years. I also don't know how the killer entered the room to murder and escape from the room. ”

Speaking of which, no one at the scene wanted to ask questions anymore, so he turned off the video connection, and then said to the people present: "What do you think, let's talk about it! This matter can't be contained in paper, and sooner or later it will be known by the media, and the director of the CIA can't be killed by someone else without knowing it, this is a slap in the face of the United States, and we must give an explanation to the people." Mark, has your director offended any people or organizations lately?"

When CIA Deputy Director Mark Canton, who was sitting at the back of the seat, heard President Obama's questioning, he cursed in his heart: "Old fox! Don't you politicians know that Leon Panetta has been overwhelmed by the recent Capitol Hill hearings? A group of old foxes are pretending to be stupid there, okay, since you are pretending to be stupid, I will make things clear to you!"

Thinking of this, Mark Canton said: "Mr. President, Director Leon Panetta was recently being questioned by Senators on Capitol Hill about the assassination of Chinese star Zheng Xudong, which just ended a few days ago, and was asked by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator Trump about placing bugs in his home in the past two days, and that's what I know so far." ”

Sitting next to the president, Secretary of State Hillary, the No. 3 person at the table at this time, saw that she had to speak, otherwise this basin of dirty water might have to be splashed on herself, and no one dared to wronged herself if this kind of thing was groundless, but there was really no need to provoke a "commotion" at this stage, so she said directly: "Your Excellency, everyone here!" Recently, Mr. Trump and I found a bugging device in our home, this kind of bugging device is very high-level, and the content of the bug is also very high, which is jointly built by the Chinese military and the CIA. We don't have any evidence now, and it's in the process of being collected. I never expected this to happen today. Alas, died young!" Hillary forced a tear out of the corner of her eye, and then continued: "But I swear here, this kind of thing is not done by me, even if it is proved that the CIA did the installation of the wiretap, I will initiate impeachment proceedings to impeach the CIA Director Leon Panetta in accordance with the powers granted to me by the Constitution, there is no need to kill him." I can swear by the Bible in front of all the members of Congress!" At this point, he glanced at everyone on the scene, and then said solemnly: "But I suspect that this matter was done by one person!"
