Chapter 188: Invisible Gunslinger
Raymond admired Wang Lei's demonstration very much, which was more clear than the police investigation just now, and the whole crime process was insightful.
In his heart, Raymond memorized Wang Lei's analysis process, Coleman had said to Raymond before that he would learn a lot of things by following Wang Lei, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
The first responders carried Lori's body into the car, and Julie took a look at the last of the worst looks, although the department was different and the affiliation was different, this was also her colleague in the FBI.
Perhaps, one day, she will be like this, lying on the ground and being sent back to the forensic office, thinking of this, Julie suddenly felt a little sad.
Following Raymond back to the police station, Emily also sat in the lounge, and the three women chatted with her for a while, not only in awe of this middle-aged woman who was already blind, insisted on more than 20 years but did not give up, and worked hard to help others.
Emily is very cheerful, maybe she is used to helping others, so she is very funny, and after a while, the resentment in Wang Shui'er's heart has been reduced a lot, and she is a little ashamed of her groundless suspicion of such a woman.
Wang Lei sat quietly at the window, looking at the sky, Li Yuan, Liu Xiaolin, and Yuan Feiteng should have been asleep at this time, and he suppressed his homesickness countless times.
Raymond walked in with a notebook in his right hand, and in his own turf, Raymond relaxed a lot. He stretched out his left hand apologetically, shook hands with everyone, and then shouted outside the door, "Daisy, bring in 5 cups of coffee." ”
Outside crisply agreed, and the policewoman who accompanied Emily just now pushed open the door with a tray and a smile. Raymond sat down next to Emily and explained to her what to do in order to identify the suspect for a while.
This is a special room for the police to identify suspects, with a single glass wall, microphones, speakers, and conversations inside and outside.
Everyone stood on this side of the wall, silently looking inside. Daisy helped Emily and stood in front of the glass wall.
A few minutes later, a door opened inside, and six people walked in with a number plate and a note. Raymond shouted into the microphone, "Put the number plate on your chest, raise your hands flat, and everyone stand against the wall." ”
Coleman held the number plate marked 3, and for a few hours, he was already very emaciated, and it seemed that Lori's death had hit him hard.
At this time, another policeman walked in and whispered a few words beside Raymond, Raymond became more serious, he gestured to Wang Lei, and the two of them came to the identification room.
"The ballistic experiment came out, and it was the P229 found in the trash can that killed Lori.And, based on the number on the gun, we can determine that this is a gun that the FBI lost a few years ago." Raymond's news also made Wang Lei's mood even worse.
Putting the bad news behind him for a moment, and returning to the identification room, Raymond shouted, "Number 1 takes two steps forward and reads out loud the contents of the note." ”
"Shut me up or I'll shoot you," said Number 1's voice, in a deep voice. Emily listened carefully, then shook her head.
Number 2 repeated, and Emily shook her head as well.
"No. 3 took two steps forward and read out loud the contents of the note." Raymond looked at Coleman, everyone looked at Coleman, and even Wang Lei had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Shut up for me, or I'll shoot you with one shot." Coleman's voice is still like that, slightly hoarse with a little magnetism, Yang Qian once said that Coleman will definitely have many female fans if he goes to be a singer.
Raymond looked at Emily nervously, and Emily frowned, "Can you let him read it again?" ”
"Read it again on the 3rd." Although Raymond regarded Coleman as a friend, he would not cheat on these matters.
After listening, Emily nodded affirmatively: "It's him, I'm sure it's him, he's the murderer." ”
Everyone's face is ugly, and Raymond is no exception. Arresting his own friends with his own hands, or helping many of his friends, it is estimated that only Raymond himself knows the taste in his heart.
This time, Raymond was finally not so rigid, and he arranged for someone to temporarily escort Coleman to his own detention cell in the police station, how could the treatment here be much better.
Twenty-four hours later, however, Raymond had to send Coleman to the state prison where he would be held until trial.
"Wang Lei, I've done my best, if you have anything else to do, hurry up, you only have 24 hours, if you miss this time, I must send Kaulman away, and it will be very troublesome if you want to see him then." Raymond told Wang Lei.
The three women stood aside to discuss whether to persuade Wang Lei to find Jamie from the Department of Homeland Security and do what Jamie did last time, but Jamie owes Wang Lei a lot of favors.
Wang Lei himself thought of this solution, but he decided to wait a little longer, isn't there still 24 hours left, it's really not possible, and it is okay to go to Jamie at the last moment.
Before entering the detention cell, Wang Lei met with Coleman, which was a request that Raymond had agreed to in violation of discipline. In front of the iron gate, Wang Lei and Coleman looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Wang Lei, I didn't kill anyone." That was Coleman's first remark. Subsequently, Coleman described the experience to Wang Lei, he didn't want to go to prison, let alone go to prison because of what he didn't do.
According to Coleman's own account, he followed Lori back and forth downstairs, and saw Lori holding a few pieces of discarded cardboard in her hand, and estimated that she would go to the trash can to throw them away.
Cowman didn't care at all, and walked by himself, thinking about how to communicate with Lori the next day as he walked.
However, before Coleman could reach the alleyway, he heard two familiar P229 shots.
"I immediately ran over, the murderer was gone, I immediately gave Lori CPR, but that Emily screamed and shouted next to me, and identified me as the murderer." Coleman shrugged, he didn't succeed in saving people, and he was beaten as a suspect, which was really unexpected.
Wang Lei habitually squinted his eyes: "You mean you didn't see the murderer either?" Emily recognized your voice, Coleman? ”
"Hehe, maybe my voice is similar to the real murderer, hehehe." Coleman laughed and laughed to himself.
Coleman couldn't help this, even if he insisted that Emily had misheard, the jury probably wouldn't believe it. Emily has been blind for more than 20 years, and the self-training of her auditory sense must be a big cut beyond ordinary people, how can she make a mistake in recognizing the most basic speaking voices.
So, who is the third person? Who would have such a big hatred between Lori and her? Is Coleman really not lying? Wang Lei lowered his head and pondered.
When a police officer was about to close the iron door of the detention cell, Wang Lei looked up and said: "Coleman, I believe you, I will apply to Robert for the authority to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the FBI Los Angeles Branch, and I will definitely find a third person." ”
At the last moment, Wang Lei still chose to believe in Coleman, although he is not like the brothers in the serious crime team who have been with him for many years, but Wang Lei thinks that he will not look at the wrong person.
The first thing he did when he walked out of the police station, Wang Lei said to Julie: "You contact Robert immediately, I want to do a background check on everyone in the FBI Los Angeles branch, and I need to call on all the personnel and the authority to enter the branch database." ”
Not only did Robert have no objection, but also arranged for the secretary to fax an official letter directly to the branch in his own name, and when Wang Lei appeared in Coleman's office ten minutes later, all the personnel of the branch were already waiting on duty.
This time, it is not only for everyone in the branch, but also for the background information of all the people who have been released from prison and on parole in the cases that Lori has handled.
Wang Lei gave the branch information processing center one hour, and he asked that all the reports be sent to Coleman's office. At the same time, the branch is closed to the public for 24 hours.
The three women became Wang Lei's assistants, and everyone was seriously and quickly looking at the steady stream of information.
The Los Angeles police were already holding a press conference, with the police department's press release on the sidelines and Raymond holding the microphone in the middle.
"In today's case of Lori, the head of the FBI's Anti-Child Crime Unit, who was shot and killed, our police have temporarily detained a criminal suspect and have a lot of clues...... This is Sheriff Raymond of our homicide squad, and you can start asking questions. In a few short sentences, the press publisher finished the situation and pushed Raymond to the top of Lang.
The reporters crowded together, a huge microphone was handed to Raymond's mouth, and a female reporter who was squeezed into disheveled clothes asked loudly: "I heard that this is an internal struggle in the FBI, is it because of a power struggle or what?" ”
Raymond smiled and spread his hands: "We are only responsible for the homicide, and the others have nothing to do with our police, Xie Lu Xie." ”
"Did I hear that Head of Anti-Child Crime Lori was killed for sexual harassment by Branch Head Coleman because she didn't want to obey?"
"Lori and Coleman had a big quarrel before her death, is this the reason for Coleman's murder?"
"How are the Los Angeles police going to respond to the FBI's assertiveness this time? Will they give in to the pressure? ”
It's a tough question, and Raymond must answer it, or tomorrow's headlines will be — Los Angeles police succumbing to FBI's pressure, and the Homicide Section Sergeant complicit......
"As long as the evidence is conclusive, our Los Angeles police will not bow to any force, and our police duty is to maintain the safety and order of the city of Los Angeles." Raymond expertly recited the contents of a reporter's question that had been given to him by the news publisher.
Emily was escorted by Dess from the parking lot and left in a car, but what she didn't expect was that as soon as the police car drove out of the underground parking lot, a large group of reporters surrounded the police car.
Dyce was forced to slow down, and she turned back to tell Emily, "Don't open the window, these reporters will annoy you." "Outside the car, countless voices are asking all kinds of questions.
