Chapter 179: Breakthrough
Wang Lei still didn't get a lazy sleep, early in the morning, Cowman knocked on Wang Lei's door with coffee: "Nathan must be watching us in heaven, Wang Lei, since everyone is still alive, maybe we should find a way to solve Andy's case......"
Leaving down the three women who were lying in bed, they were frightened, and they should also rest well. What Wang Lei didn't know was that Yang Qian not only did not rest, but also ran out of Lu in the middle of the night.
Yang Qian, who returned to the room, saw an urgent message from the Los Angeles contact, which was not something that could be explained clearly in a few words, so after everyone fell asleep, Yang Qian got up quietly, opened the window and turned it out.
After meeting with the liaison in a church, Yang Qian made a detailed report to Wei Zheng through a highly dense communication line.
Although it was due to the time difference, Wei Zheng did not rest at all, he had not slept for two days and two nights. In the past few days, I don't know how many satellites have found various reasons to get close to the sky over Los Angeles.
The assembly of the Marine Corps is more clear in the eyes of the 8th National Security Bureau, and according to the information transmitted back by Yang Qian last time, the national security can even grasp the number of each assembled force.
A day later, a large number of Marines who had already assembled made a 180-degree turn and all withdrew to their stations, which made military analysts in various countries wonder how many brain cells were suffocated to death.
Yang Qian's report unlocked all the secrets of the incident, and at the same time, some intelligence from the Department of Homeland Security was successfully returned to the 8th Bureau, and Wei Zheng's solemn face for two days finally showed a smile.
praised Yang Qian for everything he had done, and Wei Zheng specially instructed that the 8th game would increase the manpower and financial resources in Los Angeles to support Yang Qian, but Wang Lei's safety was the only irreversible center point in all tasks.
After receiving a call from Coleman, Raymond was very happy to know that Wang Lei was fine, he had regarded Wang Lei as his friend, but Wang Lei killed Parker, which made Raymond in a dilemma.
Within minutes of receiving Coleman's call, the LAPD received another official document from the Department of Homeland Security.
In the documents, the Department of Homeland Security positioned Parker as suspected of selling state secrets, and Wang Lei became a consultant to the Department of Homeland Security's Los Angeles office.
Raymond rushed to Wang Lei's house with all the files of Andy's case, and as soon as they met, he gave Wang Lei a big hug, and apologized for insisting on handcuffing Wang Lei at that time.
Coleman smiled and patted Raymond on the shoulder: "Wang Lei is very generous and understands your situation, Raymond, you don't have to feel guilty, come on, tell us the latest progress of the case." ”
In fact, the only development in the case was that the forensic laboratory issued a laboratory report on the autopsy and telephone line, which confirmed Wang Lei's claim that the telephone line was the murder weapon that strangled Andy.
As for the rest, Raymond again conducted a detailed investigation of all the attorneys, assistants, including the janitors at the federal law firm, and found no clues.
Raymond also re-sorted out all the property division and divorce cases that Andy had taken over in the past few months, which were all compiled through the records of all court clerks, but there may be parties who resented and hated Andy, but when it came to killing Andy, Raymond did not find anyone who was suspected of this.
The file was scattered and thrown on the table, Coleman and Raymond drank coffee, Wang Lei wrapped his clothes tightly in his pockets, and he remembered all the details of the case very clearly.
The killer broke into Andy's office to kill him and destroy an unknown number of documents. Then, the murderer must have a deep grudge against Andy, why Raymond can't find it.
Judging from the whole case, the murderer should have been in a hurry to destroy the documents before he did not hesitate to break into the office to kill people, you must know that even if he waited in the underground parking lot of the building, waiting for Andy to come down to pick up the car, it was much less dangerous than rushing into the office.
"Raymond, do you look into each court and see what case Andy has been in court lately? Who is involved? Wang Lei found that his thinking was wrong, and he should not go to the case that Andy had undertaken before to find traces of the suspect.
Coleman nodded: "Yes, maybe it is because a certain case that Andy is about to go to trial will be extremely unfavorable to the murderer, so the murderer took the risk and destroyed the documents!" ”
Raymond pulled through the pile of files on the table, pulled out a piece of paper, and handed it to Coleman, "That's all Andy has been working on lately, John?" Amendment of Hannah's will. Arguably, because John? Hannah's status, the influence of this case will be quite large, so Andy also transferred all the other cases in his hand to other lawyers in the firm to undertake. ”
John? Everyone at Hannah's house has also been there, and the preliminary investigation has been inconclusive. And, Raymond knows, John? Hanna had died the night before due to ineffective resuscitation, and the division of the estate was heard to be today.
Or, is this yet another burglary homicide? It doesn't make sense, Wang Lei's brows are getting tighter and tighter, there are two points that can show that this is a premeditated murder.
The documents burned by the murderer, this is one of them; Second, no one would be stupid enough to rush to an office to rob and kill people, how did he know that Andy would be in the office, how did he know that all the other people in the office were gone.
"The murderer knows Andy, Raymond, have you checked Andy's call logs?" Wang Lei asked.
This is almost a necessary clue-gathering job, how could Raymond miss it.
"Andy was picked up with John an hour before he was killed? Hanna's call, I asked Katrina, John? Hannah would call Andy several times a day to discuss something. Raymond's answer was bland and tasteless.
It seems that some things really can't be lazy, Wang Lei listened upstairs, and the three women were still resting. He called Coleman and began to clean up the file on the table with Raymond: "Let's go, let's go to the scene again." ”
Andy's office is still under lockdown, and the federal law firm is temporarily working in a nearby building, guarded by the two patrol officers from last time.
Raymond pulled the cordon, Wang Lei lowered his head and drilled over, and Coleman followed. There has been no change in the office since the other day, and the trash cans are still on the floor.
There are at least a dozen filing cabinets, densely packed with documents arranged in each drawer, Wang Lei's scalp is a little numb, he doesn't like this kind of work without any technical content.
However, in the process of criminal investigation, in fact, the most is this kind of boring and cumbersome things, after all, it is not a TV series, and after a few glances at the scene, the murderer will surface.
What's more, in too many fantasy novels now, there is a plot where the murderer almost carved words on the door of his head, Wang Lei thought it was funny, and simply told it as a joke.
In fact, except for a few psychopathic serial killers, which murderer doesn't know how to hide his traces.
Coleman and Raymond also laughed, although they had not read fantasy novels, but they had watched a lot of TV series, and this feeling was quite good.
The three of them began to divide the work, each with a section, in charge of 4 or 5 filing cabinets, and what they had to do now was to try to find the drawer with a few vacant numbers in the number, perhaps, that was the document destroyed by the murderer.
Then, according to the number before and after, try to find out if you can figure out the basic information of the documents destroyed by the murderer.
Wang Lei pulled over a chair and casually opened a drawer on a casual cabinet, which was lined with more than 30 case documents, one next to the other, crowded very densely.
Andy is still very careful, and he uses the color and number of the folders to distinguish the different case documents in the drawer. Wang Lei casually pulled out a folder with a blue shell, opened it and saw that this was a divorce case.
Wang Lei smiled, since Andy is so careful, it must be a little easier to find. In order to confirm this, Wang Lei once again pulled out a few blue-shelled folders, all of which were divorce cases.
The red folder is some civil compensation cases, and the black one is the will and property division documents, and within a few minutes, Wang Lei has already figured them all out.
Wang Lei has moved from the chair to the ground to sit, anyway, the filing cabinet is not very high, sitting on the ground and leaning on the cabinet, legs stretched out are a little more comfortable.
Without looking at it, he reached out and took out another document in the drawer opened above his head, looking at the blue cover, Wang Lei sighed, he was divorced again, Andy was dead anyway, Wang Lei threw it casually, and the folder flew over his head and landed in the drawer.
Listening to the "snap" sound of the folder falling into the drawer, Wang Lei was suddenly stunned. After a few seconds, he rolled over and got up: "Coleman, Raymond, don't touch those files, stop, stop." ”
Both Coleman and Raymond had an open folder in their hands, and the two of them stared at Wang Lei who was screaming stupidly, and the first reaction in their hearts was whether the folder in their hands was a disguised bomb!
As soon as they thought of this, the two of them suddenly felt that the folder they were holding in their hands was so hot, like a red-hot steel bar, and they couldn't wait to throw it out immediately.
Wang Lei laughed and signaled them not to be nervous: "You put the folder back in your hand, I already understand the murderer's intentions, and things are actually like this......"
The murderer did not want to destroy a single document, it should be said that the burning ashes in the aluminum trash can were just an irrelevant document that the murderer randomly opened a drawer and took out at will.
The reason why the murderer did this was just to hide his true intentions, so the killer did not kill Katrina after she fainted, because the killer knew that Katrina did not know many things.
Moreover, Katrina's life is indirectly equivalent to helping the murderer hide the facts he needs to cover up in front of the police.
