Next chapter
The sky was gray, the icy sea breeze was blowing in the streets of Los Angeles, and at this moment, in the independent house in the wandering area, Erkov was sitting by the window, and at this time, Lawrence who was hiding in the car on the street was a little annoyed. ¥f,
He has been staring at it for half a month, and this month and a half is basically watching a boring documentary called "The Daily Life of Mental Illness", Erkov, the bastard, is a man who keeps getting angry in the first half of the night, and then becomes a woman in the second half of the night and begins to clean up the house again and again, Lawrence was born in such a day by the first half of the night, the second half of the night, and the next morning he had to watch people carry large bags of garbage out and throw them out.
"Lawrence, Zhou is not here again today?"
Lawrence's partner asked.
He sighed: "It's been half a month, except for the first day, when have you seen him here?" ”
There was silence in the car, and on the laptop, only Erkov was slowly drinking with a coffee cup.
Rumble.
A bolt of lightning slid through the sky, and the curved lines made it impossible to fathom its final shape, and then, a deafening thunder appeared, and the whole world trembled as the huge thunder shook it, and the startled people sped up their pace at this moment, and God played a joke with them at this time, and the rain fell.
In the winter of the coastal city, it is scary to be cold when it rains, and the cold feeling that is damp to the bone is very annoying.
Just when Lawrence and his partner were almost drowsy in the bad weather, they 'bumped', and the back seat of the car door was snapped open, and the next second, a guy wearing a trench coat and a lot of raindrops on his body that were not yet soaked came in.
It's the weekend.
Lawrence and his partner were immediately shaken, turned their heads to look at the weekend, and Lawrence stammered a little: "Private...... Private R...... What are you doing here? ”
"I've done everything I should check, so I'm back." It's normal to say on the weekend.
Lawrence turned around, turned to look at the weekend from the driver's seat, and said, "What's the end of the check?" ”
"Erkov's finances." Slapped the raindrops on his body twice on the weekend, and continued: "Judge is a high-paying profession, you haven't thought about why a judge would live in a place like a homeless area? ”
Lawrence suddenly didn't know what to answer. It seems, like, probably...... This should be something he has not considered since he stared at Erkov for half a month.
Didn't blame them for the weekend. No one is the same, you can't ask every guy to be Roger!
That's right, after Roger refused to shoot at the range, he spent the whole day in the villa examining every suspicious point in the case, and he even found points that he hadn't paid attention to over the weekend. That's the financial situation of Elkov.
Erkov has been divorced, if the house in the wandering area is a temporary place for Erkov to stay after dividing the property during the divorce, it will become normal, but how many years has he been divorced?
Elkov, who has been divorced for so many years and has always been in the position of a judge, will live in such a place where he attends various high-ranking political events held by political figures in the city of Los Angeles? So, where did all the money he made go?
Roger's question brings a whole new perspective to the whole case, and the weekend begins to follow this clue, Dylan is responsible for running search warrants and going to the bank to investigate Erkov's finances. This investigation, an astonishing fact was revealed in front of everyone's eyes. That is, before every previous murder by Wood, Elkov would have withdrawn money from his bank account, which was basically between $5,000 and $10,000. When he received the money transfer over the weekend, Erkov withdrew money from his account several times in succession, and the amount of money withdrawn each time corresponded to what he received over the weekend!
"This guy is crazy! How can you use your hard-earned money......"
Lawrence couldn't believe what he heard, let alone let him send the money he earned to someone else, even if someone grabbed it with a gun, he would desperately resist.
Weekend pouted and said, "There are more absolutes." I always thought that the murderer was a hacker, but in fact, it wasn't. ”
"Before Erkov became a judge, he had just graduated from law school. His first career was not as a judge, and no one would hire a recent graduate to become a judge, Erkov was an assistant in a law firm at that time, and the first professional qualification he obtained was a lawyer......
Lawrence interrupted, "Wait. Zhou, wait a minute, I don't understand, what does this have to do with Erkov's economic conditions, and the case we are working on? ”
"For a long time, the main reason why Texas forced to fail to solve this case is that it is impossible to find the real remitter and the remittance method of the sender, Dylan went to investigate this matter, and the result is that almost every remitter has been to court, that is, they have left cases in the courts of the United States. Erkov's modus operandi is actually very simple, that is, to find the most inconspicuous person from many cases, and then, using the identity of a lawyer, to forge a power of attorney, and use this power of attorney to steal the identity of others to send money. ”
"If you have a power of attorney, and it's a huge sum of $5,000-10,000 or more than $20,000, then it makes sense for the lawyer to come forward, and if the sender happens to be unwell, such as paralysis, then it becomes even more reasonable. The person whose identity was called had left his identity information in the court case, and all Erkov needed was to find a person with a relatively high reputation for fraud, get a fake ID, and then use it with this power of attorney, and then send money. At that time, the social security number is real, and the ID number is also real, even if the document is fake, the murderer can prevaricate for various reasons. ”
"None of us are from the Economic Crime Bureau, we have limited knowledge of this area, and we always thought that the murderer transferred money from someone else's bank account, but in fact this is not the case at all."
Weekend sighed: "Look, we can never get enough things, if we know that once this situation occurs, the entrusted lawyer has to know the other party's surname before changing the husband's surname in addition to the client's documents and power of attorney, then it will be much easier to start checking from this aspect." As a result, we forced the group of guys who didn't understand these things like us to take a detour with an 87-page thick document. ”
"So, we can arrest someone?" Lawrence really didn't want to wait.
"Arrest? Yes, if you want to send Erkov to prison on charges of stealing someone else's identity, I won't stop you, but are you willing? The weekend responded.
Lawrence was stunned for a moment, he didn't react, he just wanted to end this damn case.
"Wait."
Weekend said: "Isn't he going to kill Enrique, let's wait for him together." ”
Lawrence shook his head helplessly, changed the subject and said, "What about Dylan? Didn't he check Erkov's financial situation? ”
"I'm looking up something else, and I always feel like it's not right."
"What's wrong?" Lawrence grumbled in his heart, but he didn't say it: "According to your investigation, when will this case be over?" ”
Inside the car, there was silence again.
The torrential rain finally fell...... (To be continued.) )
