Chapter 51: Identity

Kate Beckett stared at the video for a long time before slowly nodding and saying, "That's right, it should be a person in a black gliding suit, and there is another person in his arms." It's just that this brings up two problems. ”

"Which two questions?" Kevin looked at Beckett with some puzzlement, how could he not see the problem.

"Number one," Beckett said, pointing to the figure on the video, "the quality of this glider suit must be very good, it's a bit strange that it can support two people to slide at the same time." Unless both of them weigh less. ”

"You mean to say that both of these are women?" Kevin's eyes widened.

"It's also possible that it's a very light man." Beckett shook his head lightly and continued, "There is also the question, how did these two people connect together, is the person below holding the person above, or is it the two people holding together through something like rope?" ”

"Is there any difference between the two?" Kevin was cautious and refused to express his opinion lightly.

"Of course there is a difference." Beckett glanced at Kevin, and said angrily: "If it is the former, it means that the person below has a strong arm, whether it is a man or a woman, he has undergone special training, and if it is the latter, it means that this matter happened suddenly, they didn't expect the theft to be suddenly discovered, or rather, these two people don't know each other at all." ”

Beckett didn't know why such a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, she walked to the front of the video, stared carefully for a long time, and then said to Kevin: "Copy this video data back, let the forensic department do a clearer process, and look for more on the streets of various nearby communities to see if there are any other surveillance equipment at that point in time to photograph these two people, and find them all." In addition, send someone to the place where hang gliders and paragliders are sold in the city to find out if there is such a glider suit that can bear the weight of two people, who has bought it, and get the detailed list back. ”

"Okay, I'll do it right now." Kevin immediately answered and set about dealing with the things that Beckett had told him.

Beckett, on the other hand, stood in front of the video, lost in thought. Regardless of the identities of these two people, the context of the whole thing has gradually become clear.

The first is that the victim jogged home late at night, most likely returning from a museum robbery, and while he put the stolen jewelry in the safe to take a shower, the thief who had been following him began to steal.

This can also explain why the thief did not steal when the victim was away from home, because what he was about to steal had not been put in the safe at all, and it could even be said that he did not even know the place, and the victim brought him to his home.

Returning to the scene of the crime, Beckett slowly deduced everything that might have happened here based on all the clues.

After the victim took a bath or took a bath, he heard a strange movement, and when he came out to check, he happened to find the thief who was stealing, and the two began to fight, and it was the victim with a special identity who obviously won.

At this time, a third person appeared. Beckett stood at the window, looking at the glass fragments scattered all over the ground, his eyes revealing a deep thought.

If she guessed correctly, the third person should have come in wearing a glider suit and smashing glass from the outside, and finally a shootout began, ending with the death of the victim, and the person who came also glided away from the window with the thief, perhaps to avoid being photographed by surveillance equipment.

Although the general context has been clarified, there are still three questions lingering in Beckett's mind.

First, how did the marks on the ground come from? second, why can someone break the high-strength tempered glass into the apartment? Thirdly, why did the victim with the Desert Eagle pistol shoot several times without hitting anyone, and even ended up killing himself, knowing that the victim was probably a bandit who dared to blatantly rob the museum!

Beckett frowned and kept walking around the room while continuing to search between them, and although they found nothing, they were able to distract her somewhat. Beckett walked into the bathroom, his eyes scanning intently, the first place the victim came to after returning to the apartment, Beckett still hoped to find something.

This was the last place Beckett searched in the room, and if nothing was found, she would have to leave.

Carefully tapping on every tile in the bathroom, Beckett carefully examined it, but everything appeared to be normal, and there were no unexpected findings. In the end, Beckett could only sigh helplessly, standing in front of the toilet, she subconsciously opened the lid of the toilet tank. In the past, when dealing with drug dealers and other things, I used to search for a place.

Flipping open the lid of the water tank, the water inside was clearly visible, Beckett shook his head with a wry smile, just when he was about to close the lid of the tank again, suddenly she felt that something was not quite right, but she couldn't say what was wrong, so she simply put her hand directly into the tank.

Then something surprising happened, Beckett's hand could only reach in half a palm and could not go down, Beckett was immediately surprised, you know, the depth of the entire tank is thirty or forty centimeters, this is really interesting.

Beckett couldn't hide the joy on his face, and began to clean up the contents of the water tank, closing the water inlet, Beckett flushed all the water in the tank into the toilet, and four mirrors that were deliberately placed at a certain angle appeared in front of Beckett's eyes.

The angle of the mirror is very ingenious, neither reflective, but also allows people to clearly see everything in the tank, thinking that they can see the bottom at a glance. In addition, there are several small holes on the edge of the mirror, so that the water can flow into the toilet normally without affecting the use of the toilet.

Beckett carefully took out a few mirrors, and the hidden things below clearly appeared in front of Beckett's eyes, a cash containing tens of thousands of dollars, a stack of identity documents, and an MP7 submachine gun that had been disassembled, and two shuttle bullets.

Beckett put aside the cash and submachine gun, and opened the waterproof bag containing the ID card, driver's license, personal health insurance card, passport, and the name on each item was different, which should be fake. Beckett scratched his head slightly, if nothing else, the driver's license in Esposito's hand is also fake, I'm afraid it's useless to do it for half a day.

Asked the patrol to take pictures of the items and send them back to the police station, Beckett left the apartment after searching for them.

Throughout the day, Beckett and Kevin Ryan searched for surveillance video in the neighborhood, and after a busy day, they really found a few videos of the two men who were accidentally filmed. But it's a pity that I only faintly photographed some black shadows, not to mention the frontal face, even the appearance of the glider suit can't be seen clearly.

After finishing everything on this side, returning to the police station, Beckett first went to report his findings to Captain Montgomery.

After listening to what Beckett said, Montgomery said with a slight groan: "Do you think we should notify the state bureau of this information?" ”

"I think I'd better wait." Beckett shook her head, she had already thought about this question on the way back, and she said in a deep voice: "We don't have any evidence in our hands right now that can link the two cases, everything is just my speculation. ”

"Yes." Montgomery nodded lightly and said, "You're right, this kind of thing should not be prematurely concluded without empirical evidence. Alright, Kate, go back and rest, and go to the medical examiner tomorrow morning to see the results of the autopsy. ”

"Okay, I got it!" Beckett nodded slightly, except for Montgomery's office, and greeted Esposito and Kevin Ryan, who had been busy for most of the day, and the three of them got off work together. However, Beckett never expected that the next day someone from the State Bureau of Investigation would come straight to the door.
