Chapter 268: Ambush

The counterterrorism information exchange scheduled for May in D'C in Washington has been brought forward, and Wang Lei and his family still have a week to go, when Robert will send Jennifer to pick them up at Washington International Airport.

These days, the only thing everyone needs is to relax and recuperate. Coupled with this time, Los Angeles is relatively much calmer, also because of New York. Fear. Fear. The attack once again triggered a new wave of **Lang.

Countless people spontaneously demonstrated, and the explosion of a bomb comparable to the power of a small tactical missile shook New York City at that moment, and many people recalled the sad moment of "911".

Under this tremendous pressure, the Department of Homeland Security has attacked from all sides, and has repeatedly arrested a number of anti-social organizations in the United States. Fear. Peripheral members of the organization.

It is precisely because of this that many gang organizations in Los Angeles have also died down and are no longer so high-profile, and the original regular gang fights have also turned into underground black fists or small-scale, covert fights.

Julie and Yang Qian both decided to go with Wang Lei in a week, but Cowman said the next day: "I won't go, now I'm very satisfied, and there are some things I can't cover." ”

It's a good thing that he can't recognize his own strengths and weaknesses and know how to advance and retreat, Wang Lei doesn't mind at all, but is happy for Cowman.

If you really want to talk about it, Wang Lei would rather be in the Linhai Serious Crime Team now, Mao Qiang is also there, everyone is here, there is something to solve the case, nothing to go home, it is not better than staying in a foreign country now!

Now that the decision has been made, everyone's mood has also relaxed and spent the past few days quietly.

However, it seems to be the norm to backfire. It's like Murphy's Law, things don't always go the way you want them to.

On this day, everyone was chatting over coffee, and Coleman came over. Coleman actually felt that Wang Lei went to D'C in Washington this time, and it is unknown when he will be able to return.

Maybe it will come back, or maybe it won't.

But Coleman was reluctant to test Wang Lei, which is not what a friend should do. So, burying all this feeling that made him a little heartbroken, Coleman spent most of his days in Beverly Hills these days.

Coleman's phone started to vibrate, he looked at the screen, and grinned, "We were just saying that everyone could have a few days of relaxation, and Raymond came to the door. ”

Nothing to do is to go to the Three Treasures Palace, this is the only thought in Yang Qian's mind. Of course, it is difficult to accurately translate the original meaning of this sentence in English, and Yang Qian can only think about it in her own mind.

There is indeed something, and it is a big thing, and Raymond will not alarm the FBI for a small case, which is absolutely not allowed in the local police department, which will make many police officers angry.

In fact, in the United States, many local police departments turn to the FBI not because they don't think they're as good as the FBI's field staff, but because of resources.

A police department, no matter what kind of homicide bureau or agency, no matter what the personal ability of your police officer is, compared with the FBI, the biggest disadvantage of the police department is the limitation of the information resources at its disposal.

In the eyes of the vast majority of police officers, most of the reason why they will apply for support from the FBI is because of the huge amount of intelligence information that comes with the FBI agents.

Half an hour later, the two SUVs stopped at the end of a wide short track. The reason why it is a short track is because although the road is wide, it is less than 200 meters from the Hollywood Boulevard outside.

At the end of the road is a small artificial lake with the Hollywood Hills across the street. On both sides of the road, there are some built factories, and now, all the factories are abandoned.

"It is said that there will be a major renovation in this area, but it has not started because some conditions between the developer and the city government do not seem to have been negotiated." Coleman knows a lot about it, and Lang is the head of the F.B.I.'s Los Angeles division.

The middle of the end of the short track. There was a Cadillac city sedan parked in the center, judging by the paint and trim, it was a new car, and it was not long to buy.

It's a pity that in such a brand-new Cadillac, in the passenger seat, the window glass has been smashed and shattered, and there are large patches of blood on the seat.

Looking around, Wang Lei was surprised, this is indeed an area to be built, and even the street lights on both sides of the short track have not been installed.

Raymond was instructing several of his subordinates, and when he saw Wang Lei and a few people, he quickly explained a few words and stepped forward.

Stretched out his hand and held Wang Lei tightly, Raymond admired it very much: "We have all heard about the things in New York, Wang Lei, I thank you for my family in New York." ”

A few people reminisced, and Raymond pointed to Cadillac and said, "Reed, the owner? Hatch, and his wife, Anrui, were in the car. ”

Now not only Coleman, but even Julie exclaimed: "Reed? Hatch, which Reed are you talking about? Hatch? ”

Nodding solemnly, Raymond didn't seem to know much about Wang Lei and Yang Qian's expressions, and hurriedly made a brief introduction.

Reed? Hatch is an American financial tycoon, but recently he has been involved in a series of pension fraud cases that are being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department and the Attorney General's Office.

There has been a lot of news about Reed in the newspaper recently, but Wang Lei doesn't like to read newspapers very much, and Yang Qian is busier in private and has no time to read newspapers, otherwise she wouldn't be so confused.

"What a series of frauds, I can be sure that he is defrauding more than 10 million dollars of pensions." Coleman pouted, very dismissive.

I don't know if it's Reed? Hatch was dismissive and still disdainful of the speed of the Los Angeles police. But no matter what Coleman thinks or thinks, Raymond doesn't care.

This has nothing to do with him, Raymond is in charge of the homicide department, and there is a special agency responsible for economic problems, and it is not his turn to intervene.

Raymond They have already surveyed the scene, and the traces left at the scene and the police investigation have shown that last night, wrong, should I say early this morning, Reed? Hatch and his wife, Anrui, drove home from a private party and arrived.

Then, a gunman fired five shots in a row, four of which hit An Rui in the passenger seat and one shot at Reed.

Anrui died instantly, and Reed struggled to push the car door and ran away. But......" Raymond's words had a clear twist in them.

A kilometer away, Reed hid in a ditch to evade the gunman's tracking. However, at around 5 o'clock in the morning, when Reed was found by a passing driver, he had indeed died of excessive blood loss, and did not leave any last words before his death.

"At that time, he was speechless." Raymond sighed, this is a helpless thing, whoever sheds so much blood will be speechless.

The police's current preliminary judgment is that the murderer should belong to Reed? Hatch defrauded one of the pensioners, and among the hundreds of names, there are many retired soldiers or retired police officers.

"We are going to make an alibi for each of these personnel. Just because this case has a huge impact in Los Angeles, the bureau ordered me to immediately apply for FBI support in order to solve the case as soon as possible. It can be seen that Raymond is willing to solve the case himself, and in his opinion, this is an obvious revenge killing, not complicated.

Wang Lei thought for a while and smiled: "Yang Qian, Julie, you also take a look at the scene, and then talk about your thoughts." ”

If possible, Wang Lei is willing to pass on all his knowledge to these people. This is something that Wang Lei has been thinking about and secretly guiding in the past few days.

Whether it is Julie, Yang Qian, or Coleman, everyone is very proud, although the institutions they serve are different, but from Wang Lei's point of view, at least, these people still have a bottom line in their hearts.

In addition, Wang Lei has some personal calculations, so what Wang Lei wants to do now is to let them learn to observe every case from their own perspective.

Maybe because of the lack of time, the three of them can't learn a lot of things, but as long as they plant a seed, it will always sprout in the future.

The three of them walked around the Cadillac city car with great interest, and the three of them had a different way of observing.

Julie climbed into the car and carefully investigated, Yang Qian still continued to walk around Cadillac circle after circle, and Coleman stood in place, rubbing his chin like Wang Lei.

These things are not in a hurry, Raymond also looked at the three people with interest, Wang Lei lit a cigarette, squatted on the side of the road, smoked slowly, and waited for the answers of the three people.

Finally, the three of them ended the investigation of the scene, gathered together, Wang Lei bent his fingers and flicked the cigarette butt into the garbage can in the distance, Wang Lei has always been very satisfied with his own trick work, which is the result of more than half a year of contact when he was young.

Of course, the connection at that time was because I thought this action was very handsome and suitable for pickling girls. Thinking of himself back then, Wang Lei smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Julie and the three of them discussed it first and unified their differences, and Julie said, "We agree with Raymond that this case should be a revenge killing. ”

"The killer is supposed to have followed the Reed couple here and fired the gun while he was parking." Coleman said.

Raymond nodded secretly, the police did find some car tire tracks, but they had to give up this clue because they couldn't identify it, but according to the location of the tires, it should be the murderer's.

"Four shots in a row, none of which missed, the murderer should be very proficient in firearms, in line with what Raymond said is a retired soldier or retired police officer." Raymond was very satisfied with Yang Qian's summary, and finally, the FBI did not raise any objections to his judgment.

Although Wang Lei has not yet spoken, Raymond thinks that he will not have any objections, he has not investigated the scene, except for reminiscing and listening to himself introduce the case, that is, squatting here and smoking, then, his opinion must be consistent with his own.
