"Agent Lisbon, where do you want to build the Joint Command?" Beckett asked the Lisbon agent as he walked out of the forensic department.

"This ......," Lisbon said after a slight mutter, "Actually, I would like to find an office in your police station, so that we can exchange cases, but I am afraid that it will disturb you too much." ”

"It's okay. There happens to be a large conference room empty on our side, so I'm afraid I'm too wronged by you, the conditions here are not good! Beckett said with some embarrassment, although the Los Angeles Police Department is one of the four major police departments in the United States, and the annual funding is also a lot, but they also have a lot of personnel and equipment, so Beckett's office conditions are also average, and the office building was built more than 20 years ago, and it is still very dilapidated.

"It's okay, the situation on our side isn't much better." Lisbon didn't pay much attention to this, she just glanced at Patrick Jane on the side, and saw that the other party was still thinking about something, so she didn't say anything more.

Soon, a group of people from Lisbon moved directly from the museum, and their original office was an office provided by the museum, although the conditions seemed good, but it was a lot of inconvenience for handling the case.

Beckett and the others also met the two remaining two people of the Lisbon team, Grace Van Perle, the beautiful police officer in charge of the information, and her partner Wayne Resby.

Immediately after the formation of the Joint Case, Lisbon convened all the members of the two teams for a case-finding meeting.

At the meeting, both sides presented all the evidence and witness testimony in their hands, and after some discussion, an agreement was finally reached.

The whole case is based on the existing clues, and the investigation is carried out in two directions, on the one hand, according to the thief who picked up the theft and murder case to pursue the thief and the mysterious third person, and in this regard, Beckett and others who originally handled the case are responsible; On the other hand, there is the search for the shark's companions and possible masterminds, which is the responsibility of the Lisbon team that was originally responsible for the museum robbery.

However, regardless of the timing, the true identity of the shark must be clarified first, and Kevin Ryan and Grace Van Pelle and her partner Wayne Resby have to work together.

As for Beckett and Esposito, on the one hand, they searched for the top thieves in Los Angeles and even the whole of California who were able to open the new safe in the shark room in a short period of time through their respective informants, and on the other hand, they also informed all jewelry stores and private jewelers in Los Angeles and the whole of California that they would report the theft of jewelry immediately.

Lisbon took Zhou Jinbao and Patrick Jane to re-interrogate the arrested criminals, after all, no one knows whether they concealed it during the last interrogation, and they also had to search all the items found in the shark room again, hoping to find something.

Beckett's work is not going very smoothly, there is no clue about the whereabouts of the jewelry, and I also know that those people will not sell the jewelry in their hands at this sensitive time, at least until the limelight passes.

It's a matter of thieves, they found a list of top thieves on the West Coast through a special channel, but most of the names on this list are code names, and nothing else, and it is difficult for Beckett to determine who did the case in a short period of time.

Lisbon, after making some progress, is also in a difficult situation, and through the interrogation of the shark's accomplices, it has been determined that someone paid the shark to commit the case, but only the shark himself knows who the employer is.

Then the same raises the question of whether the jewels were stolen by thieves or handed over to employers by sharks, although the former is very likely, but the latter cannot be ruled out.

The things that the shark left in the room didn't have much value, and they did find the phone that the shark had left behind, but it was just a disposable phone, and there was nothing in it.

In the end, everyone focused on determining the true identity of the shark, hoping that this side could provide them with clues about the next step.

For a while, the determination of the true identity of the shark is through the search of various domestic databases, but the data of these databases is huge and the information is complex, and it is impossible to complete the search without ten days and half a month.

There have also been offers to provide photos of sharks to the media so that the shark's family or friends can automatically come to the door. But this opinion was rejected by Beckett and Lisbon after a little discussion.

After all, it is relatively important to track down the mastermind behind the scenes, once the information about the shark's death is provided, then it is likely to make the mastermind completely silent, it is better to let him not get a little information about the shark and the jewelry, and finally have to jump out of the background completely.

The news of the shark's death was kept by the entire investigation team, and even the museum's insiders did not know the progress of the case. This is one of the few strategies they have had in this case that has worked.

Before the true identity of the shark is found, Beckett proposes an interesting method, the two teams switch tasks with each other, to find clues that originally belong to each other, and look at the case from different angles, perhaps to find something else.

Although everyone looked at this method in the same face, it was the only way to do it when there was almost no progress in the case. With his decision in mind, Beckett immediately took Esposito to the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles, where everything began, and naturally everything had to be investigated from there.

When he came to the museum, Beckett did not take Esposito directly into the museum to investigate, but followed the route of the shark and the others to break into the museum, and marched towards the museum step by step, which was more conducive to their understanding of the thoughts of the shark and others at that time.

When he came out of the underground treasure house, Beckett's face was full of solemnity, and the other party had an internal response inside the museum. This point had been thought of in Lisbon before when they were handling the case, and they conducted a targeted investigation.

The subject of the investigation was identified as a young technician who had worked at the museum for three years, but when he investigated more deeply, it was discovered that the technician had boarded a plane to Morocco the morning after the crime, and this clue was completely broken.

However, Beckett had a different idea, and according to her judgment, the young technician did play a very important role in the robbery, but there were several places that he could not reach.

This shows another problem, in the whole museum, there is another person who has a deep inner connection.

While Beckett was still pondering this, a noise came from the other side that woke her from her deep muse. Beckett frowned, glanced at Esposito, who was also unaware, and walked towards the noisy side building.

"What's going on?" As Beckett walked inside, he called a staff member outside for questioning. Only then did I learn that the "Diamonds: Rare Radiance" exhibition, which had been interrupted due to a robbery, was reopened this Friday.

Although five pieces of top-of-the-line jewelry were lost, the 77 Diamond Company and New York jeweler Ryan Diamond, who held the exhibition, and Scott, the diamond merchant who suffered the most losses, were the ones who lost the most. After some deliberation, West reassembled a collection of top-notch jewelry to be re-exhibited at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles.

Although the robbery of jewelry has caused a lot of losses to all three, it has brought a huge sensation and brought them huge attention, so taking this opportunity to restart the exhibition at this risk juncture can also bring them huge benefits.

Beckett didn't say anything about this, but what she didn't expect was that here, she actually met Ling Xiao.
