Chapter 14 Everyone has a place to be
"Adam."
"Adam is back."
In the Los Angeles Police Department office building, Adam entered in a police uniform, and when he stepped in, all eyes were on him. This kind of moment, whether it is in the spotlight or in the discussion, can only prove one thing, the person who can attract so many eyes is the man of the hour.
"Didn't he go to the Western Branch?"
"You don't know about betting with the FBI? Do you think the police at the Western Branch can help Adam solve the violent Sex to Death case? Of course, he's going to come back to his colleagues in the homicide section, and don't forget that this is the most powerful police department in Los Angeles. β
Bite.
When the two policemen in police uniforms at the reception of the General Administration were talking in a low voice, there were still some policemen in police uniforms next to the floor-to-ceiling glass opposite the reception, and there were also several police detectives in suits waiting there next to the elevator.
Unceremoniously Adam walked in directly, and the interesting thing was that none of the people at the elevator door followed up, and Adam didn't wait for them, so he reached out directly to press the floor he was going to, and the moment the elevator was about to close, he just stood in the elevator and looked at each other along the smaller and smaller gaps.
Touch.
The moment the faint sound of the elevator door closing came out, everyone at the door began to take a deep breath, and they didn't know why they felt so much pressure.
It's just that none of these people tacitly mentioned this topic, but were completely silent.
Bite.
When the elevator door opened again, Adam appeared on the floor where the homicide bureau was located, and all the plainclothes detectives in the entire homicide bureau began to look up when he entered, and those who were typing in front of the computer stopped working, and closed their mouths discussing with their partners about something, and even those who were printing documents in front of the photocopying machine forgot to get the documents after they were copied, and let an A4 piece of paper lie there motionless.
Adam seemed to have a natural talent for bearing, no matter how many people looked at him, he walked out of the elevator as if he didn't care, the innate confidence and protective shield around him, and the first thing he said when he entered the homicide section was: "Who is responsible for the two serial murders at the Cecil Hotel?" β
"Now, I need someone to tell me about the progress of the investigation."
Everyone can see that Ya Tian was born here, he is like a plug-and-play USB stick, and the center of the public office area of the homicide department is the USB port, as long as he stands there, it will shine.
"Knight." Adam sat on a desk in the center of the common office area, he pressed the folder on the table with his ass, and the person who was using the desk was embarrassed, and he didn't take it or stay there and watch.
The black detective who gave the weekend a thumbs up stepped out of his desk and stood in the passage of the common office area and said, "Everyone in the Cecil Hotel has been ruled out at the moment, Adam, here's an important clue that you may not know, when we recorded the confession for the employees of the Cecil Hotel that day, a service agent was on vacation, we found her and got an answer that you can't believe." β
"This waiter has seen the murderer, the deceased ordered a dessert that day, the dessert was delivered to the room by Miranda, which is the restaurant waiter we found, the moment she knocked on the door, it was a man who opened the door, the room was very quiet, the man did not accept the food, but gave a tip of a hundred yuan, very calmly winked at her right eye, and told her what code to tell her, 'Give it to you, she is ...... You must understand'. β
Adam smiled there and said, "So, this bastard thinks of himself as the man in the room. β
"That's right." The knight responded: "Because he has the handsomeness of a European nobleman, the waiter's memory of him is particularly clear, and such a person appeared in the room of a single female traveler, and there was nothing wrong with the room, and the waiter thought it was just a night--love affair. I thought God was favored, I took a tip, took the dessert and enjoyed it myself. β
Adam, who pointed his index finger at the knight, asked, "You must have made her a portrait of a criminal." β
"Of course." The knight nodded responsibly.
The not-so-beautiful female detective stood up in a white shirt after the knight's report, with a police ID card on her chest, and walked over to take a computer drawing in her hand to Adam, this 3D drawing seemed to be a headshot taken by the murderer against a blue background in the sunlight outside the window, and it was extremely clear.
"Head."
"Hey, Julianne, I'm not Shazhan from the Homicide Division, remember?" Adam reminded Julianne with a slight ......, and Adam continued, "It's okay, tell me what you know. β
Julianne, who was no longer entangled, continued: "I asked the patrol officer and I at the Cecil Hotel for two days with a photocopied picture, and no one around had ever seen this guy, and when I checked the video in front of the hotel, I found that this guy entered the hotel at six o'clock in the morning, and in order to find this Mother**er, my partner and I checked the video more than a dozen times in a row. β
βNextγβ Adam ignored Julianne's complaint and called out for the next one.
The very young white detective stood up and said, "There are four religious ritual supply stores in the neighborhood......"
Adam stretched out his hand and interrupted: "You didn't find anything, it's not your fault, it's my fault, this guy is not a believer at all, he is creating faith." β
Julianne shrugged and answered, "So what now?" We don't have a phone number to monitor, no residential address to monitor, nothing but this face and the fingerprints on the tip this bastard tipped. β
There was an air of decadence in the homicide department, these people seemed to be extremely angry but powerless by the murderer's blow, they seemed to have lost the pillar of the main body, although their eight feet were there, but they could not move a single step.
Now, Adam is back, and these people seem to have their own role, and they are willing to carry Adam to move, and finally lay out a big net.
Adam put down the picture in his hand and glanced at all the colleagues standing beside him with an embarrassed face, these were his right-hand men when he had glory: "Are you planning for me to encourage you and increase morale?" β
Burst.
The knight was the first to smile, the second was Julianne, the white guy who had just joined the homicide department looked at the whole room in astonishment, he found that everyone in the room slowly smiled, and in an instant the haze in the room seemed to be dispelled.
βCOMEοΌONγβ
"Forget it, I'd rather hear you explain how the bruises on the corpse formed."
Hahahaha......
The room without laughter erupted in laughter that had not been released for a long time, the knight bent over with laughter, Julianne hugged her shoulders with laughter and shook straight, only the white guy asked, "Can anyone tell me what you are laughing at?" β
He never knew what kind of rigid man Adam was, let alone what kind of life these people lived when they first became Adam's men. The relationship between Adam and this group of people is accumulated by one big case after another, and everything in front of him proves that Adam, who lacks personality charm, has forged unshakable trust here with actual achievements, which is why the homicide department still habitually notified Adam for the first time when there is a case that cannot be solved.
As for the current boss of the homicide department, he doesn't care who will solve the case, all he wants is to solve the case, he is a person who climbs up as an official.
Adam thought in laughter, he thought that the murderer had just created two identical cases, but what he didn't expect was that the murderer also made it more difficult for him, that is, he exposed himself to the waiter, and then did not kill her, so that she could survive well. This may be because the murderer felt that the person who created the water tower drowning case was too low-level, and his purpose was to force that person out, so he put both cases in the same hotel, and at the same time, it also shows that the murderer's next crime will be more difficult.
"Alright." Adam waited for them to laugh for a while and said, "Knight, this guy should be challenging the murderer of the drowning in the water tower...... Adam said what he had said to the weekend again: "You want to check the religious ritual supplies company, a person who is creating a faith will not use other religious things, he is likely to customize some ...... There shouldn't be many companies in Los Angeles that specialize in manufacturing religious ritual supplies, I want you to check if there are any ......" He picked up the picture and said: "Especially if this person has customized special religious ritual supplies, or something similar to religious ritual supplies, it's best to check the candle factory by the way, this is a lot of work......"
"I can handle it." The black man replied confidently.
Adam nodded, "Julian, I know this person must not be found in the street surveillance. He pointed to the picture again: "However, it must not be easy to find a road that can appear in front of the hotel without street surveillance, he needs countless experiments, you have to find this road without any surveillance at all, this must be the direction of the murderer's retreat, and at the same time, in all the surveillance around this road, find me the figure of this person...... It's tiring......"
"I don't need you to care if I'm tired or not, Keep-going, I just want to catch that guy."
The knight added, "I'm going to pee on his face." β
"OK, get moving, take your partner and start chasing along the two lines, this guy will fall into my hands sooner or later, knight, I'll leave you a good place in the toilet when the time comes."
Adam took out the phone and dialed the weekend's number: "Zhou, I'm now the ...... of the homicide section of the General Headquarters"
