Chapter 241: Determining the Source

"Wearing a ring." Wang Lei pondered for a moment and ordered: "Raymond, you check the list of the recent missing people." ”

"Especially in the last two or three days, since he is wearing a wedding ring, his family will definitely call the police after he disappears." Coleman completes what Wang Lei meant.

Fat people are like this, many times the speech is incomplete, and the comprehension ability is slightly worse will be inexplicable, Coleman is used to making up for his own brain, and now he is worried that Raymond does not understand before he says more.

The murderer was the first person to start killing 4 days ago, which means that he entered a state of dissociation at that time and left his home. If the family calls the police, the most likely is this day or two.

This is very easy to check, the "911" alarm center has a complete record, Raymond sent someone over, and quickly got it back, and there was a record in it that caught everyone's attention.

Dustin? Claire, 32, is a native of Los Angeles. Three days ago, his wife, Lucy, called the police to say that her husband had been missing for more than 24 hours. This is the only man of roughly the same age who has gone missing in the last five days.

The next thing is much easier, in order to be safe, Julie and Raymond were arranged to go to Dustin's house to take Lucy to the police station, and several other people stayed at the police station to continue to study Dustin's hiding place, Wang Lei walked to the window outside the lounge, ready to smoke a cigarette.

Lina saw Wang Lei through the glass of the lounge, and while a few people were not paying attention, she ran out of the smoke, stood in front of the fat man, raised the bear in her hand high, and handed it to Wang Lei on tiptoe.

"For you." Lina stared at Wang Lei expectantly, a little nervous and uneasy.

Wang Lei squatted down and stuffed the bear back into Linna's arms, smiling very honestly. He rubbed the little girl's hair, it was very dirty: "It's okay, wait patiently for a while, and when the formalities are completed, we will go home together, go home and wait for your parents, okay?" ”

followed out, Wang Shui'er, who was standing behind Linna, looked very indifferent, accompanied by Ya Go, who wanted to say something but didn't dare, it is estimated that he was hit by Wang Shui'er before.

Regarding this phenomenon, Wang Lei pretended not to see it. After a few conversations with Linna, the two people from the child welfare agency also came to me, and their coordination with the police department was not a disagreement, and they also notified their lawyers.

didn't chat with people from the child welfare agency, Wang Lei knew that this was not what he was good at, anyway, there would be a lawyer on his side, and it would be up to everyone to see who was better.

Continuing to pretend that she couldn't see Wang Shui'er's expression, and instructed her to guard Linna, Coleman also came over to encourage Yago a few words, at this time, Julie walked in with two women and a man, and Raymond followed.

Lucy was accompanied to the police station by a husband and wife, Amy, who was a good friend of Lucy's. Her husband, Peter, and Dustin are teammates in the same squad as the Marines.

At Dustin's house, as soon as Julie and Raymond heard Peter's identity, they immediately knew that they had come to the right place, and Dustin must be the unknown person everyone was looking for.

Lucy was terrified, he didn't know why the police not only didn't find her husband, but also asked him to come to the police station, saying that he needed to know something about Dustin.

"Hello Peter, my name is Coleman, I need to talk to you alone." Coleman took out his ID and showed it to Peter, pointing to Raymond's office to the side.

The division of labor and cooperation, Julie and Yang Qian also separated Lucy and Amy, so that the information learned by multiple parties can be summarized with a high degree of authenticity.

In order for Lucy and Amy to answer the questions with peace of mind, Raymond also had to come forward to explain that the police needed their help, and the reason would definitely be told to them next.

Sitting in a separate room, Lucy kept asking, "What's wrong with my husband?" What happened to him? ”

Julie glanced at Wang Lei, who was standing in the corner of the room with her hands around, and Wang Lei nodded slightly. Julie took out a document and pushed it to Lucy: "In the past few days, people have been killed every day in the city, and we suspect that it has something to do with Dustin." Lucy, is there anything you can tell us? ”

Lucy was taken aback and exclaimed, "Impossible, impossible, how can it have anything to do with Dustin." She didn't dare to look at the information of the deceased people in front of her.

A hand firmly pushed the information under Lucy's eyelids, and Julie gently persuaded, "Lucy, everyone who died, they also have their own family and friends. Now, we just hope to be able to find Dustin as soon as possible with your help and make a conclusion on this matter. ”

With some pain on her face, Lucy sobbed quietly, she took a tissue handed by Julie, wiped her tears, and said, "Four days ago morning, Dustin drove out to work and never came back. I was so worried that I called the police. However, Dustin doesn't kill people. ”

It turned out that Dustin participated in the Gulf War after enlisting in the army, and then was stationed in Iraq all the time. Since returning from retirement last year, Lucy has often been awakened by nightmares and sweating profusely, so that Lucy has to sleep in a separate room from him.

Dustin had disappeared for more than 24 hours, and most of the time Peter would find him at the back door of one of the bars in the block, but at that time Dustin was usually drunk and lying unconscious.

Dustin is great with both family and friends, and has a good relationship with his neighbors. This PTSD Lucy had heard about it, and she urged Dustin to talk to the psychiatrist a few times, and then Dustin's condition improved a lot, and he hadn't been missing for a long time.

Four days earlier, on the morning, Dustin had kissed his wife goodbye as usual and drove his Ford to work, and at noon, receiving a call from Dustin's office, Lucy learned that her husband was missing again.

At the time, Lucy wasn't very worried, thinking that Dustin was trying to distract herself. As a wife, Lucy is very considerate and understanding of her husband's difficulties, and it is not his fault, it is the pain that the country has left him.

Peter was notified, and Lucy waited quietly at home for news, and Amy came to accompany her. In the evening, a tired Peter knocked on the door, and in the face of the anticipation of the two women, he shook his head: "I searched everywhere, but I didn't find Dustin, I don't know where he went." ”

Frightened and worried, the three of them discussed for a while before Lucy chose to call the police. Then, after a few days of waiting, when everyone was getting more and more flustered, Julie and Raymond came to the door.

Brought her a cup of steaming coffee, leaving Lucy to rest by herself, Julie and Wang Lei went out to see Yang Qian's situation.

It should be said that Amy also understands Dustin's situation, and what she said is roughly the same as what Lucy herself said. Well, the rest is the one closest to Dustin, Peter.

"Peter probably knew more than the two women." Wang Lei told Julie and Yang Qian that the three of them stood on the side of the glass wall and listened to Coleman and Raymond ask Peter.

Wang Lei knocked on the glass, and Raymond walked out and looked at Wang Lei with inquiring eyes. Things weren't going well inside them, and Peter just said something very basic, and didn't want to say a word about Dustin's further steps.

Raymond asked anxiously, but Peter gave him a disdainful look and ignored him. Peter's approach is actually very impressive to the police, and of course, he is also a friend who cares about him, otherwise he can choose not to come to the police station, and he is not obliged to answer any questions Raymond has.

"Julie got the road map of Dustin's daily work, Raymond, you immediately arrange for people to search along the road, in the case of the past few days, no one said that the murderer drove the car." Wang Lei's estimate is that Dustin encountered something on the way to work and had a dissociation, so his car should still be in that position.

More likely, as is the case study of the battlefield and PTSD, Dustin would have been able to move in a circle where his vehicle was parked.

Once you've found the car, it's much quicker to find people.

Wang Lei then said: "The three dead in the first three days were all killed at night, and today this one was killed in the morning. So, I think, Dustin's dissociation of consciousness is getting worse and worse. ”

In the end, the patient will be transformed into a ruthless machine that only knows how to kill, and will no longer have any emotion, and will kill the elderly and children like them.

Raymond was taken aback, this is still necessary, and then the Los Angeles neighborhood will not become a "meat grinder". Not daring to stay any longer, Raymond hurried to arrange for manpower and began to seek support from other departments of the police department, especially the patrol officers.

At Wang Lei's request, Raymond added a special warning to the patrol police: "The suspect is a retired soldier, proficient in hand-to-hand combat, proficient in all kinds of firearms, once the suspect is found, it is forbidden to contact him directly, and the homicide department will be notified immediately." ”

Seeing Raymond arrange, Wang Lei turned back to the interrogation room where Peter was, and he planned to talk to Peter in person. Wang Lei had a hunch that what Peter had was the information that the police needed most.

Passing by the lounge outside, Wang Lei waved at Linna, and the little girl grinned. On her left and right are the child welfare agency Wang Shui'er and Yago, and the two sides are facing each other.

Peter looked up at the fat man who had pushed the door in, and stopped noticing. While dealing with the FBI in front of him, he was anxiously thinking about where to get his friends back.

"You know Dustin killed someone, and you know what we're saying is true, right, Peter?" Everyone has their own mind, and Peter is worried about the multiple first-degree murder charges that Dustin will have to bear after his arrest.

Coleman suddenly realized, no wonder he and Raymond were talking dryly, Peter has been avoiding the important and not wanting to say anything, the cause is here.

"I'm sure Dustin won't be charged with four counts of first-degree murder, his best chance is that he's hospitalized, which is also a must, Peter, you should be able to tell the difference between the necessity and the need." Coleman made this promise in his capacity as head of the F.B.I.A. Los Angeles division.
