Beckett and Lisbon arrived at Philip Johnson's single-family apartment in East Los Angeles with a large police brigade, and immediately launched a search after Jenny Johnson showed her search warrant.

Fortunately, Philip Johnson's two sons are at school and are not at home, and although Jenny Johnson is reluctant, she has nothing to do in front of the brigade police.

The search lasted more than two hours, but the results were not satisfactory.

In Johnson's home, except for the search for Dabi cash and a few pistols in the hidden compartment of the garage, nothing else was found, even those handguns were also legal, and what was more troublesome was that Jenny Johnson had called her lawyer to whisper on the side.

"How?" Lisbon and Beckett bumped their heads and discussed the situation in a low voice.

"Did you think the clues were hidden in the computer?" Beckett frowned and glanced at the computers that had been removed from Johnson's home, and now he could only hope for that.

"Possibly, hopefully Van Pelle will get something out of it." Lisbon's face is also not good-looking, is it possible that he is really going to run away in vain today.

"He doesn't hide things at home." Jane didn't know when he was standing behind the two of them, and he had done some searching himself, but he really didn't find many valuable clues in this house.

"Jane, what do you mean by that, do you have to think otherwise?" Lisbon turned to look at Patrick Jane, a guy who was a headache but who did provide key clues on a number of occasions.

From the layout of this home, it can be seen that Philip Johnson is a very family-oriented person, and it is impossible for him to let those dangerous things be left in the house, so that his wife and children may find them by accident. If I'm guessing correctly, this guy must have somewhere else hiding his stuff. ”

As she spoke, Jane suddenly laughed, looked at the two of them and said, "If I remember correctly, this guy is a real estate agent, if I were him, if I really wanted to hide something, where would I need to hide it at home!" ”

Hearing Jane's reminder, Lisbon and Beckett looked at each other, and a gleam flashed in their eyes at the same time, they realized what the problem was.

A few hours later, a smug shout rang out from under a single-family house managed by Philip Johnson, and it wasn't long before police cars surrounded the place.

It wasn't until the next morning that Lisbon and Beckett saw each other again in the office after a busy night.

Philip Johnson was a very cunning man, and he did not put all the money, arms, and evidence of his possession together, but put a little bit in each place, three or four places, which were hidden in the basement or garage of the property that was difficult to sell for various reasons.

But once you grasp the rules, it's much easier to find these things.

As soon as Lisbon and Beckett met, the cash obtained by Philip Johnson's many crimes over the years, except for the distribution of his accomplices and his own expenses, was all hidden in several properties, and what they found had accumulated more than 100 million.

In these places, there are also a large number of light and heavy weapons of different specifications, bullets, accessories, bombs, equipment, all kinds of things.

Finally, there is the relevant information about Philip Johnson's accomplices that they most want to get, and many of these things have been found, but Philip Johnson records these things in code words, and it will take some effort to sort them out.

But just the things they have obtained now are enough for them to explain this case again, and the pressure that has been pressing on everyone's hearts has finally dissipated most of it.

A few days later, according to the information found, the Los Angeles Police Department and the State Bureau of Investigation began arresting Philip Johnson's accomplices one by one, and seven people who participated in the museum robbery that night were arrested, and more than a dozen others were arrested for their involvement in other cases.

In the museum case, all but three of the world's five gems were recovered, and they were returned to their owners after the case was closed.

Strangely, however, little evidence of a connection between Philip Johnson and Stett West has been found, and all they have is two interconnected disposable mobile phone numbers and a bank account that uses overseas tax havens to make money transfers, and it is almost impossible to involve Scott West with these things.

"These people are just too careful, and it's too hard for us to catch them!" Kevin sat in the conference room and said helplessly.

"There's no way to do this, it's still necessary to investigate what should be investigated." Beckett reassured Kevin, then looked at Lisbon and asked, "Teresa, where do you think our investigation should be headed next?" ”

"On the thief's side, whether you want to find the remaining three gems or find out about the murder, you need to find the thief first, so we can move on." After a moment of silence, Lisbon said: "Also, Philip Johnson must continue to investigate this aspect, according to the close-up of the characters we asked the FBI to help do, with Philip Johnson's cautious character, he will definitely leave the evidence related to Scott West." This requires us to dig through the information we have harvested so far. ”

"On the thief side, not much progress has been made." Esposito stood up and introduced the case to everyone in a deep voice: "Because Philip Johnson used a new type of safe in his apartment, according to this, we interviewed some of the prisoners who were serving their sentences in the prison, and also asked their respective informants to inquire around, and there were not many people in the entire Xihai case who were able to open the safe in a short time, but according to the investigation, almost all of these people had alibi evidence on the night of the crime. ”

"What does this almost mean?" Zhou Jinbao frowned, and couldn't help but interrupt his hair and asked.

Esposito turned to Zhou Jinbao and explained: "Although there are some people who can prove their whereabouts on the night of the crime, according to some clues before and after the crime, they were not in Los Angeles at the time of the crime. ”

"It's also possible that they arrived in Los Angeles overnight and then left overnight, which is also very likely." Resby couldn't help but say something.

"That's right," Esposito nodded, "that's pretty much what I said. ”

"You just said that it was the West Coast, and our current investigation is only on some thieves on the West Coast? What about the central and eastern ones? Jane spoke suddenly, and his words lit up many people's eyes.

"In such a short period of time, we can only investigate people on the West Coast who can do that." Esposito spread his hands and said helplessly: "The thieves on the west coast are not in the same circle as the thieves in the central and eastern regions, and there are not many connections between them, and there are very few cross-border crimes. Of course, it's not impossible, but we don't have a lot of clues. ”

"Anyway, let's check it," Lisbon glanced at Beckett, nodded, and said directly: "I'm going to go to the FBI to see if they have any information on their side, the bank can't give up, and Philip Johnson has to dig deeper, as long as there is a breakthrough in these aspects, then our case will be really easy!" ”
