The busier he is, the more he has to do, and Wang Lei didn't expect that the exchange meeting was about to start, and Robert would find something to do for himself.

With a helpless wry smile, Wang Lei asked, "Robert, can't Kuantico send other people?" ”

In fact, Robert himself was very depressed, this case happened not too early or too late, just before such an important meeting. But because it involves Washington, the little things have become the big ones.

Not to mention that it involves a jury and a district court, and if you really want to say it, the FBI needs more support from both sides, and how dare you not do it all.

It's not that Kuntiko doesn't have manpower, and Robert has countless field staff who fight and kill, but to solve the case within a limited time frame, there are some things that cannot be solved by relying on high technology alone.

In fact, the Quantico Behavior Analysis Team has also dispatched its best manpower, but it has been several days, and there are still no clues.

To Kai? Siller's investigation is also going on with precision, but Kay? The people in the police detention center have no contact with the outside world, and there is really no way to put this hat on others.

Since you can't push it off, you can only accept it. The only thing Wang Lei can do now is to try to shorten the time spent on the case and get his arrangements back on track.

Sending Robert away, after reading the briefing on the materials, Wang Lei stood up: "Let's go, we still have to go to the scene." ”

Pulling open the door, Wang Lei was surprised, Jennifer was still waiting outside the door, looking at the three people standing at the door and looking at herself in surprise, Jennifer smiled and said: "Robert asked me to be responsible for coordinating the work of you and the Washington branch, I am only responsible for cooperating with your requirements and not interfering in any specific work of yours." ”

It was the first time for Wang Lei to come in from the court in the United States, and so was Yang Qian, and the two were very curious.

It's a building, but there are no guards at the door, and except for a few security guards, anyone can come and go as they please, without interference.

Under the leadership of Jennifer, after going up to the 3rd floor, Wang Lei and the three met David, who was in charge of the case? Pofil, director of the Washington office.

This is a sturdy middle-aged man, with short hair and sharp eyes, but now his eyes are full of tiredness that cannot be concealed.

Hold Wang Lei's hand, David? Pofil let out a sigh of relief: "Wang Lei, hello, I have seen your name many times in the bureau's briefing, and I have carefully read some of the cases you have solved, Xie Lu thanks you for your help this time." ”

The sedan chair man carries people, David? Po Fil's attitude is polite, more than any time Wang Lei has been in the field for more than a year, the attitude of the local FBI branch director, naturally they will not be proud.

The two sides exchanged very kindly and harmoniously for a few minutes, David? Pofil asked, "How are you going to do your work next, I can get people to cooperate." ”

How else can it be unfolded, of course, the most important thing is to see the scene, Wang Lei nodded: "The scene has not been destroyed, right?" Are the other jurors still there? ”

The laws in the United States are different, and they are very different from those in China, and the jury system is one of them.

This time to participate in Kai? There were 12 jurors in the Schreer case, in addition to 12 alternate jurors. If any juror is temporarily withdrawn from the trial for some reason, an alternate juror will be added.

In normal times, jurors are allowed to go home, unless there is a major problem, they are quarantined, and their freedom is restored when the trial is over or the trial is over.

But this time the case was different, before the trial, each member of the jury received a letter with a simple message, one sentence - if Kai? Thler was found guilty, and that is when your time of death came.

At that time, after receiving the threatening letter, the Washington police had already intervened and applied for assistance from the FBI.

No results were achieved in the tracing of the letter, neither the envelope nor the stationery, nor any remaining fingerprints, fibers, or other evidence sufficient for DNA testing.

The letters were delivered to different neighborhood mailboxes, and no suspicious sender was found through a large number of street surveillance footage.

Eventually, the police and the FBI came to the conclusion that this batch of letters should be Kai? Siler is worried about the tricks of being convicted and imprisoned this time, as long as the security of the jury is increased, the normal trial and even the conclusion of the case can be ensured.

The accident appeared a day earlier, when the district attorney gradually gained the upper hand in the courtroom and everyone was elated, according to David? Pofil estimates that it will take a day at most for the case to be over.

For lunch, the jurors eat in the fixed rest room upstairs, and the lunch is brought in by the security personnel, and there will be a security officer who stays outside the door of the lounge all the time, and the meal is also at the door, which can be said to be inseparable.

Juror No. 3 Lauren? Lee Jones, 51, housewife.

Less than five minutes after eating lunch, she vomited blood from her mouth and died instantly. By the time the security guards at the door heard the commotion inside and rushed in, Lauren was dead.

Then, the whole case came to a standstill, because it was a homicide and it was impossible for the alternate jurors to fill it up immediately until the facts of the case were revealed.

All 11 remaining jurors were quarantined in the upstairs lounge, and the guards at the door were replaced by the Washington police and the FBI.

"What about the autopsy?" Wang Lei asked, since it is poisoning, you should always know what caused the poisoning. Moreover, there should be poisoners, so this case should not be difficult.

Generally speaking, this situation is related to food, and it is enough to follow the clues, how can it make Kuntik's behavior analysis team helpless!

"It's really not that simple." David? Pofil shook his head with a wry smile, he had thought so at first, but things had turned out beyond his expectations.

The coroner's office produced the autopsy results on the same day, and the cause of Lauren's death was clear - drug overdose.

Yes, Lauren has been taking digoxin because of heart disease, which is a very common drug and doctors at the hospital like to prescribe it to others.

Digoxin, a vascular drug blocker, has a good effect on congestive heart failure, and because it has less accumulation in the patient's body and rapid decomposition, it has become the drug of choice for doctors.

But it is exactly this that the coroner's office proposed, ordinary people only need to take one pill of digoxin a day, but Lauren's body has 16 times the amount of digoxin in the body.

When digoxin is taken in the same amount, the greatest effect is to help the patient's heart to show a regular beat. 16 times, what does that mean, the explanation given by the coroner is this.

"After Lauren takes it, within 1 minute, the heart rate can reach 500 beats per minute, the heart will pump at high speed, and the blood will shoot rapidly under strong pressure, and Superman will not be able to bear it."

Such an obvious clue was certainly not spared by the Washington police and the FBI, who launched an investigation into Lauren's background.

Lauren's husband Mark is the doctor, David? Pofil personally went to the door to question Mark, and at the same time was questioned about Mark's mother, Pesci, a 73-year-old woman.

"Mark and his mother are saddened by Lauren's passing." David remembered that night when he informed the two of them about Lauren's death, and the pain Mark felt as he sat on the stairs.

Lauren's medicine was given to her by Mark every week, one pill a day, for a total of 7 pills. The problem was that the coroner's office tested Lauren's remaining capsules and found that the remaining capsules contained all of the powder in normal amounts of digoxin.

In other words, no matter what Lauren took that day, as long as she took the 16-fold digoxin capsule, she would die instantly.

Although David? Pofil was very sympathetic to Mark, but in this case, the police and the FBI still conducted a thorough investigation of Mark, after all, he was a doctor and had easy access to drugs.

In the hospital where Mark works and the neighbors around the house, the police get the same information, Mark and Lauren have been married for many years, and the relationship between the husband and wife is very deep, which is recognized.

Moreover, the investigation of Mark and Lauren's insurance situation did not find any cases in which Lauren had any high-value, huge insurance as the beneficiary of Mark.

Ruled out the suspicion of the husband, the police and? The F.B.I. turned its gaze back to the inside of the courthouse.

Speaking of which, the most convenient thing to poison is the guard at the door and the other 11 jurors in the room, as long as anyone has such a 16 times the amount of digoxin in their pocket beforehand, they can easily find a time and opportunity to change.

Moreover, the police also suspected that the threatening letter placed in front of each chair when the 12 jurors first walked into the rest room was an internal crime committed by the jurors.

At that time, after extensive police investigations, it was found that almost no one could unknowingly put 12 letters into a high-security rest room, except for the jurors themselves.

But the police did not have any evidence to prove this conjecture and had to abandon the idea.

David? After receiving a request for help from the Washington police, Pofil met with Quantico's behavioral analysis team and conducted a psychological analysis of 11 jurors and guards, but to no avail.

Everyone is a normal reaction, after all, everyone is an ordinary person, and they are not psychopathic killers, and there is very little information available for the behavior analysis team to analyze, which is close to none.

In David? In his heart, Pofil wanted to do a polygraph for each of these people, but the idea was dismissed by the judge as soon as it was reported.

What are you kidding, the jury of the most own court will take a polygraph, and no matter how stupid the judge is, he will not sign it off. This matter is bound to get out of the way, and once everyone knows about it, I am afraid that no one in their court will be willing to serve as a juror in the future, what should I do!
