Beckett didn't even think about it, and as soon as she arrived at the office the next morning, she saw the Lisbon agent from the California State Bureau of Investigation and several of her men show up in the office of her boss, Montgomery.

Perhaps seeing Beckett come to the police station, Montgomery immediately called her into his office and introduced her: "Beckett, this is Agent Teresa Lisbon, you already know him, this is Agent Zhou Jinbao, and this is Patrick Jane, an adviser to the State Bureau of Investigation." ”

"Hello!" Beckett shook hands with the three of them one by one, and then said with some questions: "Agent Lisbon, are you here today?" ”

"That's right, I'll tell you." Montgomery grabbed the conversation and said, "Agent Lisbon came here today mainly to negotiate with us on the matter of joint case handling, and I have reached an agreement with his boss Virgil on this matter. ”

"Yes, sir." Beckett knew that Montgomery didn't want the atmosphere between the two sides to stiffen when he said this, so she responded directly, looking at Teresa Lisbon, Beckett groaned and said: "So, the gun we found last night really has something to do with you?" ”

"Yes." Lisbon nodded, and said with a serious face: "That MP7 submachine gun and its bullets are really exactly the same weapons and bullet caliber used by the robbers in the museum robbery, and their serial numbers also prove that they are the same guns; In addition, the proximity of the area where the case occurred can be completely continued, so it can be preliminarily determined that there is an inevitable connection between the two cases. That victim of yours is likely to be one of the robbers in last night's museum robbery. ”

Lisbon also found out this last night when they noticed that the LAPPD was investigating the same gun information as in their case, and Lisbon reported the matter to Virgil last time.

After that, the two sides personally interacted with the California Attorney General to form a joint investigation team, after all, compared to the theft and murder case on Beckett's side, the museum robbery case on their side in Lisbon was too stressful.

The repercussions of a museum robbery like that night were so bad, and in addition to the media coverage, all museums in the United States exerted pressure through various connections to solve the case as soon as possible. It is said that after that case, all museums in the United States raised their defense levels at the same time, after all, that level of armed robbery is not something that ordinary museums can handle.

"Hmm." Beckett replied softly, without saying anything more, in fact, she came to the same conclusion, but in the absence of very hard evidence. Although the MP7 submachine gun was able to link the two cases, it is not possible to conclude that it was used in the museum robbery, so there is some uncertainty.

Of course, that gun alone is enough for the two sides to jointly handle the case, and if there is new evidence in the future to prove that the two cases are not related to each other, it will be a big deal to disband the joint case handling team.

Beckett glanced at Lisbon, she turned to Montgomery and asked, "Sir, I'm going to Renee's to see the autopsy now, I don't know ......"

"Let's go too." Lisbon made a decisive decision, after all, it was also one of the perpetrators in this case, and maybe some clues could be obtained from the autopsy. And she felt a little embarrassed to stay in this office.

"Okay!" Montgomery didn't have a problem with that, he nodded at Beckett and sent the group out of the office.

Beckett introduced Esposito and Kevin Ryan to the Lisbon group, and had already told them about the joint case.

For this matter, Esposito and Kevin both had a certain amount of preparation in their hearts, but they didn't expect this day to come so quickly. These guys from the State Bureau of Investigation are a little too efficient.

Lisbon led everyone to the autopsy room, where a group of six people stood in the autopsy room and listened to the forensic doctor Renee explain the situation to them: "The knife in the heart obviously caused the death, but after the autopsy, I made a new discovery." ”

Renee pointed to the corpse's heart and said to everyone, "You see, there are actually two wounds left by the dagger, but one of them is too small and almost completely covered by the other, and I accidentally discovered this under a magnifying glass. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?" Zhou Jinbao stood there and asked in a low voice.

"Hmm!" Renee took out the magnifying glass on the side, put it in front of everyone's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This slightly smaller wound was stabbed first, and then there was another big wound. And this big wound was inserted very deeply, almost instantaneously penetrating the victim's heart and completely inserting into the victim's heart. You also know that usually when you kill people with a dagger, there will always be some gaps, but now this one is different, not only does this knife not leave the slightest gap, but even the handle of the knife has left a deep mark, and the incision marks inside the wound are very smooth, what you are looking for is a person with great strength. ”

"Oh!" Hearing Renee say this, everyone present couldn't help but frown, even Patrick Jane scratched his head a little.

"In addition, there is such a tattoo on the corpse." With that, Renee lifted the corpse's armpit and revealed a hidden tattoo.

"It's!" Lisbon stepped forward to take a closer look at the shark-shaped tattoo, and after a long time, she couldn't help but say: "That's right, this is the tattoo, the tattoo that belongs to the thief shark, and we have this information in our database." ”

With that, Lisbon briefly introduced some information about the thief shark to Renee and the others.

Shark, a well-known bandit leader on the West Coast of the United States, rose to prominence ten years ago and has completed 20 robberies so far, an average of one every six months. It is known that the cumulative amount of robbery exceeded 400 million US dollars, and it was once listed in the tenth place on the wanted list of the US government.

"It seems that the people who entered the museum that night to rob should be the sharks!" This result made Lisbon and others really relieved, with this clue, then there was a chance that all the perpetrators of the crime that night would be caught.

In fact, during the shootout at the museum that night, the security guards of the museum also killed several robbers, and even arrested two or three alive. But it is a pity that they do not have the slightest clue about the leader of the bandits.

Shark is an extremely cautious person, and he summons different people for each operation, only a few of them have been tested by him before joining his core team, and those who are caught are not among the core personnel, and they don't even know the identities of the other people in each other.

The Sharks' team is not allowed to inquire about each other's identities, which may be the reason why he has not been arrested in all these years of crisscrossing the West Coast.

Shark is the only person in the team who knows the identity of everyone, although he is now dead, but from some of the things he left behind, there are no relevant clues, not to mention that everyone is here, are they afraid that they will not find his true identity?

"I've heard the name of the shark." Esposito stood up and said to everyone, "But this person is usually involved in bank robberies, why did he suddenly change his career to rob museums this time?" ”

"That's a real problem." The Lisbon agent nodded and said, "The question raised by Officer Esposito is really worth pondering, and there may be something behind it that we don't know. ”

This case has been strange from the beginning, there are many priceless things in the entire natural history museum, but the other party only focuses on the jewelry, and no one believes it if there is no strange thing in it.
