Chapter Forty-Nine: Killed

The end of the case may be a relief for the people in the sub-bureau, but the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, and even James, a direct participant, will be arrested by Ryan and discard some clues that do not affect the outcome. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Serial murder case, twenty hours after the cracking, the time was 1:45 pm, in the office area of the substation, it was originally a good time to give mutual encouragement and praise, but the current atmosphere is not very compatible, this time it is not because of other people's exclusion of James, nor jealousy, but a slap in the face, this is not a matter of one person, this is the whole substation being slapped in the face, and it is also the kind that is fanned.

It was 10 o'clock last night, when Superintendent Michael was at City Hall, accompanied by the mayor and a number of councillors, held a press conference to announce the cracking of the serial murder case and the capture of Ryan.

At the same time, he promised reporters and other media that the LAPD is trustworthy, capable and efficient, and will not be soft on violations and crimes, and will punish crimes effectively.

But only one night, less than 24 hours, the suspect in the serial murder case, Ryan, was shot dead on the grounds of escaping from prison and attacking the police, and almost none of the escort agents present were spared, all of them died in the line of duty, if one of them had not called for support when he was dying, it is estimated that no one could stop him at all.

But how exactly the incident happened is no longer clear.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, it was already dark outside, and the raindrops gradually stopped.

Since Ryan was killed, nothing worth mentioning has happened, and the statement of the city hall and police department to the outside world is: "The incident is still under further investigation, please be patient, and please remember to trust the power of law enforcement with your media friends." ”

The only survivor, the escort agent who called for backup, is still dying in the hospital.

Twenty well-meaning witnesses appeared throughout the afternoon, nine of whom were in fact journalists, and ten who provided information that had nothing to do with the case.

The only remaining witness was an eighteen-year-old girl who passed by the scene of the incident and confirmed that she had heard something unusual and witnessed some of Ryan's behavior, which could be very helpful in reconstructing the truth. She tried her best to remember the situation, but that was all.

James Lee, restlessly walking around, glancing at the door, as if anticipating someone to open it and rush in.

George stood in front of a few pictures posted on the wall, his hands clasped behind his back, slowly rocking his body back and forth, a bad habit he had developed years ago as a patrol police officer, and he had never been able to break it.

They hung their blazers on the backs of their chairs and rolled up their sleeves. James' tie was thrown on the table, and although it wasn't very warm in the room, he was sweating on his face and armpits. George coughed for a long moment, then thoughtfully touched his chin and continued working on the sketch. James stopped, looked at him critically, and said, "Your voice sounds terrible. ”

"You're becoming more and more like some people." George didn't turn around, just said as if talking to himself. Just then, Walker opened the door and walked in, saying, "What about the others?" ”

"Who else?" James and George asked in unison, as if they had a clear mind. "What about the rest of your group?" Walker said in an accentuated tone.

"In the hospital." James replied, and then George turned around and said to Walker, "Yes, that's right. Any news? Walker shook his head.

For this answer, James and George obviously guessed, perhaps knowing that it would be like this, and their faces were infected with a bad emotion, seeing this Walker could only give them a good news: "You will be strong tomorrow." ”

"Strong soldiers?" When George heard Walker's words, he first raised his head and looked at the other party in puzzlement. Of course, Walker didn't let them know the situation for too long, and quickly explained: "The support manpower was transferred from elsewhere. Walker paused slightly, then added ambiguously, "They think it's necessary." ”

George blew his nose carefully.

"Who is it?" James asked, "Or should I say, who are they?" ”

"A guy named Jetton will come down from Inglewood tomorrow. Do you know him? ”

"I've seen him." George replied without hesitation. "I've seen him too." James said that in fact, he had only heard the name of this person and seen the photo, but the real person was not masked.

"They also managed to transfer Clark to the anti-narcotics department."

"How is he?" James said anxiously that Walker knew something, so he continued: "That's all I know, and there are people who will come from Montebello, but I don't know who." ”

"Oh." George responded.

"Unless, of course, you solve the case before tomorrow." Seeing that the other party's clarity was not high, Walker's gloomy face also came up, so his tone was a little heavy.

"Of course, of course." James echoed Walker's words, but the other party ignored him and continued his words: "Various facts seem to point to ......" Walker stopped, looked at George carefully and said, "What's wrong with you?" George replied, "Cold." ”

Walker was still glaring at George. Trying to distract him, James said, "All we know is that someone is shooting, and this person has not left any clues and has not been arrested, as is the usual practice in international mass murders." Of course, he may have killed himself, but even then we don't know. There are two definite clues - bullets and cartridge casings - from which we can identify weapons.

Then there is the survivor in the hospital, who may come to his senses and tell us who fired the gun; He was sitting in the back of the car, and he must have seen the killer, and he should be able to tell us if Ryan did it first. ”

"Uh-huh." Walker grunted.

"There really aren't many clues," James said, "especially if the guy dies, or loses his memoryβ€”his injuries are severe, after all." We don't know what happened to Ryne on the way, and we don't have any useful witnesses, at least not for now, and we can't reconstruct what happened. ”

"There may also be other witnesses who committed the mass murder as psychopaths, and Ryan's previous actions also prove that he was pathologically responsible." Walker said, crossing his waist.

"Oh, David has relevant evidence in investigative science and forensics. I think he will be able to prepare a memo soon, except that he is not a full-time psychiatrist. Although James and David have not been with the forensic doctor of the bureau for a long time, they have the feeling of sympathy and hatred for each other, so at this time, it is inevitable to recommend it to the other party, but he automatically filtered other people's opinions of David.

"Our biggest opportunity ......".

"It's a thorough investigation." Walker looked at the clock, and before he could say anything, James finished replenishing it for him.

"Exactly, nine out of ten times the murderer was found in this way. Don't spend too much time here, it's better to rest and talk about it tomorrow. Good night! With that, Walker turned and walked away.

Walker left, and there seemed to be silence in the room, and after a few seconds James sighed, "Which tendon is wrong with you?" ”

George didn't answer.

"Ryan?" James nodded to himself and said philosophically: "Think about it, is it the first time you have met such a person in so many years, did you know that you could not survive, so you attacked the police, ran away, and did not hesitate to die yourself?" ”

"This Jeton, do you really know him?" George looked at James directly, as if he wanted to see what he wanted to see in the other person's eyes, so he was as sharp as an eagle.

James paused and said, "I heard that there are always toothpicks in their mouths, and I don't think we should call everyone who is available." They should let us deal with it ourselves, it's better, you look at this substation, it seems that many people have opinions about me, I don't know if it's because of the color of my skin, although I don't care, but I always don't feel very comfortable, I think this case, with me, you and Walker, it's enough. ”

"Well, at least Clark is okay." In the face of James's words, George had to express his opinion, which may be a sign of respect for his partner, which shows that his preconceptions about James have changed.

"Of course," James replied to George, but as if something had come to mind, he continued, "but how many murders has he committed in the last ten years?" ”

"One piece." George replied, looking at James and nodding, George continued: "That's it, people are anti-narcotics police, it's okay to kill people, it's ...... to handle such a case" After a short pause, he added: "Besides, I also hate Walker's bad habit of talking to us with clichΓ©s from above." 'Psychopathology', 'Pathological causes', 'Strong soldiers', tsk. ”

There was another burst of silence. Then George looked at James and said, "So what? ”

"So what?"

"Ryan, or what's the guy escorting doing in the car? Could this happen? ”

For a while, James and George couldn't understand how a person who didn't plan to go to prison in the first place could be so quiet when he was found by the police, and he didn't resist?

Besides, if you want to end your life, then why not choose a better place, and have to struggle in the prison car, resist, and finally be shot to death helplessly?

Ryan's behavior is very puzzling, this can no longer be described as mental illness, and pathology can't cover it, is it really like some people say, people's emotions are so elusive, or is it due to changeable personalities?

Of course, this is not the point, because the witness present is none other than Rebecca, I don't know why she appeared in that place, and I don't know what important pictures she saw, but now she is obviously frightened, and even when she sees James, she is a little ignorant and answers the question.

"What the hell was he doing there?"
