Chapter 228: The Search Begins
"Yes, Terrence. We wanted to find out where he was blogging from. ”
"I've had six journalists call me, two of them to my home. I held them back, but I couldn't wait any longer. I will have a press conference in 20 minutes. What shall I tell them?"
"Let's just say that the investigation is still ongoing. We are asking the substation to send personnel to help with the search. Searches have been carried out in key areas, but no extensive searches have been conducted. ”
"Hamilton called me and he wasn't satisfied."
It was Hamilton from Sacramento, dressed in a dark blue suit, with droolling eyes and a ruddy complexion.
The agent's boss, Terrence, seemed to have been restless all morning.
"What else?"
Chilton paused the thread on the post chain. and demanded that Travis turn himself in. ”
"I mean, have there been any technical measures?"
"Yes, he's helping us find out where the boy uploaded the stuff."
"Okay. That means we're not idle. ”
What he meant was that there was nothing prime-time TV viewers like, not the sweaty, glamorous police work they'd done in the last 48 hours.
Katyusha and Bolin looked at each other for a moment, and his eyes showed that he was also taken aback by what he had just said. And immediately they removed the daylight. Otherwise, if you look at each other, surprise will turn into shock.
Terrence looked at his watch, "So be it." It's my turn to climb the barrel. He walked towards the venue of the press conference.
"Do you know what that means?" Boleyn asked her.
"What kind of barrel is that climbing? I do not know. ”
Carter giggled, but didn't say anything. He smiled at Boleyn. "It's a joke, I can't say it anymore," Boleyn said. It's about horny seafarers who go to sea for a long time. ”
"Thank you for not telling it out." Katyusha sat on her ass in her office chair, sucking on the coffee that was about to freeze, and damn it, she ate half of the dough that I don't know who sent it.
"Travis, did you go online again?" She asked Boleyn.
"Nope. There was no news from Owen either. But he'll tell us for sure. I don't think he's going to sleep. He had a Red Bull drink in his veins. ”
Katyusha called Peter from the county police department's forensic department. Ask if there is any new information on the evidence. The main thing is as follows: There is a lot of evidence so far to accuse Travis of murder, but there is no clue as to where he was hiding, and the location of the soil does not match the location of the cross other than the traces they found in the soil earlier. David, an enthusiastic detective from the police department, volunteered to collect soil samples near Travis' home; The soil there is not comparable.
In a place that boasts 15 miles of some of the state's most beautiful beaches and dunes, the sand race is so important, Katyusha thought self-deprecatingly.
Although Terrence was able to report that the State Bureau of Investigation was "doing some technical work," he was confronted at the press conference with questions that made him difficult to handle.
The TV in Katyusha's office was on, and they could see the live broadcast of the press conference.
Katyusha thought that Terrence's brief debriefing was accurate, and only one detail was missing, even though she didn't know about it.
"Inspector Terrence." A reporter asked. There's another cross, so what will you do to keep the community safe?"
Terrence resembles a deer illuminated by the headlights of a car.
"Ahh Carter whispered.
Katyusha was surprised, looked at him and then at Bolin, and then at the TV screen.
The journalist went on to say that she had heard a report on the radio half an hour earlier. Police found another cross on Route 17 near the Bay of China, with the date on it today, October 28.
Terrence stumbled back, "Before coming here, the agent in charge of the case gave me a brief briefing. She apparently didn't quite know the specifics yet. ”
The State Bureau of Investigation has only two senior female agents. It's easy to know who this 'she' is referring to.
Oh. Terrence, you turtle grandson.
She heard another reporter ask, "Inspector Terrence, what do you think about the panic in this town and the whole peninsula?" There have been reports of homeowners shooting innocent people who have inadvertently entered their yards. ”
Terrence paused for a moment, "Well, it's hard to explain. ”
Oh, bro... Katyusha turned off the TV. She called the county police station and learned that another cross had indeed been found near the Gulf of China, with the date on it today, and a bouquet of red roses. The Crime Scene Investigation Section is collecting evidence and investigating the scene.
"There are no witnesses, Inspector Katyusha." The officer added.
Katyusha hung up the phone and turned to Carter: "Is there any news from Sweden?"
Carter called the agency and left two messages. They haven't called back yet, even though it's a weekday in Stockholm at this time and it's just past lunchtime.
Terrence burst into the office 5 minutes later, "Another cross? What the hell is going on?"
"I just found out myself, Terrence."
"How did they hear about it?"
"The media? They also have intelligence sources. There's always a way for them to know what we're doing. ”
Terrence rubbed his dark forehead, and the dander fell off, "So how far have we done with it?"
"Hugh's men are at the scene of the process, if there is any evidence they will tell us"
"If there is any evidence......"
"He's a teenager, Terrence, not a career criminal. He will leave some clues where we can find out where he is hiding. It's a matter of time. ”
"But if he puts a cross, it means he's going to kill today."
"We're reaching out to as many people as possible. See who will be at risk. ”
"What about computer tracking? How's it going there?"
"That company hasn't called us back yet," Carter said. We also apply for a foreign search warrant through legal process. ”
The Director smiled wryly. That's good. Where's that agency?"
"In Sweden."
"They're easier to deal with than the Bulgarians," Terrence said, "but it won't be a month before they hear back from you." Send us the request with our assessment of the case. But don't waste all your time on it. ”
"Yes, sir."
Terrence rushed out, pulling his phone out of his pocket.
Katyusha turned her phone and called Ray and Staple to inform them that he was coming to the office
