Chapter 111: Lan Keer's Death
A few days later, Lu Haitao officially retired, and the rumors in the bureau were that Wang Lei was implicated in the matter, which was due to his conscientious work in the position of director of the public security bureau for many years, so he left gloomily, otherwise he might have to bear a disciplinary punishment.
Mao Qiang was indeed promoted to the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation as Lu Haitao said, and Li Yuan took over his position as the captain of the serious crime team. The serious crime team has entered a few newcomers, which can be regarded as a big change.
Yuan Feiteng and Liu Xiaolin changed their former cleverness and turned into a stuffy gourd, and the serious crime team began to be in an ordinary state where everyone was in a state of oblivion, and their previous prestige was no longer far away, and Mao Qiang could only let it go.
After opening her heart, Wang Shui'er began to worry, what would happen if there was no cheongsam in the future. When Jin Buyan woke up, she found that it was broken, and the cheongsam was replaced with a T-shirt and jeans.
After muttering for a long time, Wang Shui'er decided to let Julie accompany her and Yang Qian to Chinatown the next day, and she wanted to purchase. Since it is Wang Lei's bodyguard, it is everyone's bodyguard, no need to use it in vain.
Coleman came over the next morning, and he handed the file in his hand to Wang Lei, with a few big words on the cover: "Lan Keer's death." ”
Lan Keer, also known as Lin Keer, English name: Elisa Lam, 22 years old, Canadian-Chinese, this case has been widely circulated on the Internet for some reasons.
Wang Lei had nothing to do in the office before, and he had read a few reviews and had some understanding. However, where is the information provided by the FBI now, which can be compared with the few sentences on the Internet.
There is no problem with Wang Lei in English dialogue, but it is still a little difficult to read this kind of large English dossier with a lot of professional terms. Coleman's thoughtfulness Wang Lei was very satisfied, Wang Lei read while he explained on the side.
Lan Kerr arrived in Los Angeles on January 26 and stayed at the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. It's a well-known hotel, but it's not so much about the hardware and software of the hotel.
The history of the Cecil Hotel is relatively old, perhaps because it is so old and has been so long, that this hotel has been associated with several famous murders.
In 1985, nicknamed "Night Sniper" and "Devil's Disciple", the notorious serial murderer Richard Richard who killed at least 19 people in Los Angeles and San Francisco on the West Coast of the United States in one year? Ramirez stayed at this hotel.
In 1991, the notorious serial killer Jack, who was implicated in at least 9 or more murders in Europe, the United States and Austria? Entwig also stayed at this hotel.
Or even, there are rumors that in 1947, Los Angeles, USA, was hailed as the victim of the most shocking and bloody murder in the history of California after World War II. Shut, who also lived here during his lifetime.
After reading the first page, he signaled Cowman to pause the explanation, Wang Lei rubbed his eyes and sighed. Fortunately, Wang Shui'er and Yang Qian went out early in the morning with Julie as a driver, if they were at home, their curiosity became and they learned all kinds of weirdness about the incident, and they were afraid that they would not sleep well for several days at night.
Coleman was intrigued by the slow-talking fat man in front of him, who liked to frown. Although Robert? Miller's secretary warned him repeatedly on the phone, telling him that he had to respect this Chinese very much, but privately Coleman did not believe that the fat man in front of him could give Lan Keer a perfect answer to the mystery.
To know that this case cost the Los Angeles police and the FBI countless energy, but they were unable to find the murderer, and in the end, it could only be characterized as suicide.
Coleman is not stupid and can make Robert? Miller's secretary personally called to take care of the people, which he could not offend, which was the main reason why he had always been warmly received.
After a few minutes of rest, Wang Lei continued to read the second page of the dossier.
According to Lan Keer's family, Lan Keer came to Los Angeles to relax, she just passed through Los Angeles, stayed here for a short time, and finally Lan Keer was going to Santa Cruz, Northern California.
During her stay in Los Angeles, communication records found by the police showed that Lan Keer would call her home every day, and this situation continued until her disappearance.
It was precisely because of her daily phone calls with her family that after her disappearance on January 31, her family immediately reported the case to the Los Angeles police by phone. The police resorted to various means, but for three weeks there was no result.
In the last two weeks, the FBI fully intervened, and something embarrassing happened to them, and the FBI's intervention also did not achieve any results, and even Lan Keer's body was not found.
The various exaggerations of the media and the spread of the Internet have made this case more and more influential and known to the whole world, and it has also made the pressure on the FBI extremely strong and irresistible.
Wang Lei finally understood that what he inherited was a hot stove, which was something that the Los Angeles police and FBI agents could not find an answer to using various high-tech techniques, and there were more private detectives and many reasoning enthusiasts in the outside world who couldn't get out of the maze of dead knots that they couldn't get out of all day long, and now they were thrown to themselves.
Wang Lei looked at Kaulman and smiled happily, "Kaleman, since the incident has subsided, I believe that your FBI can't solve more than this unsolved case, why do you want to turn this case over now?" ”
"I don't know, it's an order from the headquarters." Coleman shrugged strangely, the case file had been thrown into the database, and he had to rummage through it for a long time last night to find it, and he really didn't know the specific reason, anyway, Robert? He just did what Miller had to do.
This is a difficult problem to test yourself, Ren Quan, hey, this person is very interesting, and he actually collects his own materials, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, unexpectedly. Wang Lei didn't say anything, continued to look at the file, and solved the problem, this is what he has always liked to do, so why run away.
Wang Lei estimated that if he refused, the next day, well, no, maybe tonight, the three of them would have to move out of this comfortable and luxurious house and live in a motel with Liulang Han as a neighbor. That's pretty good, the three of them don't have documents, and the immigration bureau came to the door.
On the morning of 19 February, a guest at the Cecil Hotel complained that the water pressure was so low that the tap in his room barely came out of the water and he was unable to take a shower.
After receiving the complaint, the hotel sent the maintenance personnel of the engineering department to the guest's room first, and after inspection, the equipment in the room was in good condition.
Then the maintenance personnel had to climb to the top floor, and when they went to the water tank on the roof of the building to do an inspection, they accidentally found a corpse soaked in the water tank.
After receiving the hotel alarm, the Los Angeles police immediately thought of the missing Lan Keer and immediately sent someone to the scene. Because the body had sunk to the bottom of the tank after a long soaking, the Los Angeles police and the fire brigade that arrived later spent a lot of effort to think of a solution, and finally sawed the tank completely before the body was fished up.
Full corpses in the tank. Naked, head down, and unusually twisted throughout the body. The autopsy by the forensic doctor showed that the body was the missing Lan Keer. After comparing the birthmarks on the corpse with the information provided by Lan Keer's family, the Los Angeles police issued a press conference on the evening of February 19, claiming that the deceased who was recovered from the roof tank of the Cecil Hotel was Lan Keer.
Coleman interjected a sentence when Wang Lei was about to turn the page: "Wang Lei, the police have not announced the last part of the information, and there is no way to announce it." ”
There is really no way to announce it to the public, and there are only a few lines on the last page: After the forensic doctor did the autopsy and toxicological examination of the corpse, he found a trouble, they could not determine the cause of Lan Keer's death.
In other words, I don't know how Lan Ke'er died. There was only a slight amount of fluid in the lungs, indicating that Lan Keer was most likely dead before he was thrown into the water tank; There are no scars on the whole body, indicating that Lan Keer has not been beaten to death by any external force; The internal organs are intact, ruling out the possibility of Lan Keer's internal hemorrhage and suffocation; There is no toxin in the body, which excludes the possibility of Lan Keer's poisoning and death; There is no organ lesion, which excludes the possibility of Lan Keer's myocardial infarction death due to nervousness and other reasons.
Wang Lei became more and more interested, this is the first time he has encountered this kind of case. At this time, even if the FBI takes back the dossier materials, he will find a way to get a glimpse of it himself. I remember when I was a police officer in college, my teacher said a sentence that Wang Lei has always memorized: A policeman without curiosity will not be a good policeman.
After reading the dossier, it was already afternoon. At noon, he and Coleman nibbled on a sandwich, which Julie had prepared in the morning and put in the kitchen, it seemed that Julie had a deep understanding of the characteristics of this kind of work, and had long estimated that Wang Lei might forget about lunch.
For Wang Lei, sandwiches are like a bottom-of-the-line bread he ate at home, he didn't feel full at all, he only felt more hungry.
Throwing down the file, Wang Lei stretched his waist: "Coleman, let's go out to eat something again, I'm hungry." ”
Coleman is indispensable, accustomed to sandwiches, hot dogs, etc., and Coleman habitually doesn't feel hungry when he eats a lower stomach. However, since Wang Lei has made a request, he will definitely meet it.
As soon as he walked to the door, Wang Lei patted his head: "Oh no, no money." Thinking that he had no money, Wang Lei thought of the two women shopping, would they have money?!
Coleman laughed maniacally: "Don't you know that there is a box in the back of your car that contains your documents and bank cards, as well as some cash?" ”
Seeing the open garage door, Coleman hugged Wang Lei's shoulders very understandingly: "I know what happened, the car was driven out by your two girlfriends, don't worry, I have a treat today." ”
