Conference room.

Captain Mun, who is a salary thief as always, has not yet come to work.

Old Hunter sat down in the main seat and coughed twice: "Guys, because of our excellent performance in the serial burglary case, the director has approved a bonus of 100,000 US dollars for our squadron, and it will be distributed according to your performance next month." ”

"Wow!"

"Great, I just wanted to get my latest Harley-Davidson motorcycle!"

The crowd cheered.

The identity of the detective of the robbery and murder division sounds imposing.

But without bonuses and overtime, their after-tax income is only five or six thousand dollars a month, depending on their rank and position.

Old Hunter looked at everyone with a smile, knocked on the table, and attracted everyone's attention again: "This bonus is just the beginning, this represents the director's recognition of our fourth squadron, and we will take on more and more cases in the future." ”

Hearing this, although everyone was not as happy as before, they still smiled.

With a case, you can work overtime openly and mix overtime pay.

This is also the bulk of the income of the detectives.

For example, other squadrons.

is a rookie police detective, a month of mess adds up, and the income is more than 10,000 US dollars, not counting the extra bonus.

From now on, the 4th Squadron can be regarded as really on the right track.

After announcing the good news.

Old Hunter looked at Dean: "Dean, Daisy said, you went to deal with a suspected death case in the room yesterday?" ”

It's up to yourself!

Dean got up and began to tell the details of the case.

After hearing this, Old Hunter was a little disappointed: "So, this is a misunderstanding?" ”

Now the 4th Squadron urgently needs more results to consolidate its position.

In the case of Harry's friend, the suspect has already fled to Mexico, and he can basically only be thrown into the archives to eat ashes, with no hope of being solved.

He was counting on Dean's case.

"Yes." , Dean nodded: "However, during my investigation, I made new discoveries, and finally through my colleagues in the forensic department, it was confirmed that there was at least one homicide case in Villa 76 more than a month ago!" ”

With that, Dean pushed Holtz's report to old Hunter, and then walked straight to the whiteboard and wrote the names of the four members of the Sheehan family and the helper Marcus on it.

At this moment, the eyes of the six people in the conference room were all focused on Dean's body.

"When I was inspecting the scene, I found that there were splattered blood stains on the walls of the villa hall, the outside of the fireplace, and the ceiling, so I called the people from the forensic department."

"After testing, there were blood stains in the house, belonging to three people, two men and one woman.

The blood stain of one of them belonged to the helper Marcas.

His blood stains are the freshest and can be directly ruled out.

The blood of another man and a woman was mixed.

It can be determined that they were all left over a month ago.

The male's blood sample was small, and it matched the hair DNA on Sheehan's clothes, which should have belonged to Sheehan or his son.

The woman's bleeding was fatal, her identity was undetermined, and she was suspected to be Sheehan's wife, or an unknown third person. ”

Old Hunter came to the spirit: "Dean, have you found any useful clues?" ”

"Yes, but not much." Dean pointed to the report in Old Hunter's hand: "At that time, I didn't have legal investigative authority, but I just got some information from Sheehan's neighbors. ”

Dean glanced at Daisy.

He called Daisy yesterday and asked her to help get the basic information about the Sheehans and Marcus early in the morning.

Daisy had a good eye and took out a few folders and sent them to a few people.

Wait for everyone to read the information.

Dean tapped on the whiteboard and began to tell the story:

Sheehan's wife, a devout Christian, has no job, and often goes to a Christian church to volunteer, and her reputation is very good.

More than a month ago.

She told her acquaintances that the family would travel for a while and would not be able to continue to help at the church.

Afterwards.

The Sheehan family has completely lost contact. ”

"At least I can't reach any of them by phone." , Daisy added.

Dean glanced approvingly at Daisy and continued:

"According to the investigation, the helper who started the previous case, Marcas, was the helper who was brought back before the Sheehans disappeared.

In the last month, neighbors have often seen him working in the yard.

But a few days ago, a logistics company's truck came and loaded all the valuable furniture and appliances in the villa, which coincidentally may have been stained with blood that had not been cleaned up.

If these furniture and appliances are recovered, the forensic department may be able to let us know what happened in the villa at that time through bloodstain analysis! ”

Dean looked at Daisy again.

Daisy was overjoyed by Dean's approving gaze just now, and when she saw this, she immediately took the initiative to take out a blank piece of paper: "I came over early today, and according to the information provided by Dean on the phone yesterday, I found this logistics company and contacted them by phone." ”

Dean didn't expect Daisy to be so efficient: "What do they say? ”

"Those furniture and appliances were sent to second-hand grocery stores, and Marcas sold them! The logistics company provided me with the names of a few grocery stores, and as long as there was an investigation order, we could get all those furniture and appliances back! ”

Old Hunter looked at the two of them singing and harmonizing with strange eyes.

He had a weird feeling.

Now Dean doesn't seem to be a rookie who has been in the company for less than two weeks, but... Captain Mun.

This guy is in charge of the case!

Come to think of it.

After being a police detective for more than 20 years, Lao Hunter, who relied on his qualifications to climb to the current deputy team, felt a little uncomfortable.

He coughed twice and interrupted the two: "Dean, anything else to find?" ”

Dean shook his head:

"Without an investigation warrant, Lawrence and I have too little to investigate.

Marcus is still in a coma.

We can only be sure that someone has recently died in the villa, but we don't know exactly what happened at the time.

However, in Sheehan's villa, I found that the glass leaning against the yard had been smashed, and Sheehan's dog was also hit in the head and killed around the time when Sheehan's family disappeared.

So I have a couple of guesses. ”

Offstage.

Lawrence looked moved.

He didn't expect that he had just made a soy sauce yesterday, and Dean didn't forget to mention him.

Be kind!

Lawrence touched the thick stack of 'beautiful mature woman' photos in his pocket again, and secretly swore in his heart that he would not disappoint Dean!

Dean shuddered at Lawrence's affectionate gaze.

He subconsciously turned around, avoiding Lawrence's gaze, and wrote three columns on the whiteboard: 1, 2, 3.

"The first possibility is that I suspect that the victim woman has a relationship with Sheehan.

She hated because of love, threatened and intimidated the Sheehan family through various means, and finally in the conflict, the Sheehan family accidentally killed the other party, and finally handled the scene in a hurry, and called Marcus as a cover-up, and fled Los Angeles. ”

Based on Sheehan's high income and the premeditated departure of the family, this speculation holds water.

The crowd nodded.

"The second possibility, the same as the first.

But it wasn't the outsiders who died, it was Sheehan's wife.

And this outsider first threatened the Sheehan family and made them fake the illusion that they were going to travel, and then killed them.

But if that's the case, the killer should have enough time to clean up the scene and not leave so many splattered blood trails.

And Marcus lived in Sheehan's house before he disappeared, but he's okay now.

This is not normal either!

Marcus is still not awake.

So this speculation, to be determined. ”

The crowd nodded again, and what Dean said was reasonable.

Dean licked his somewhat dry lips.

He rarely said so much, but in order to establish himself a little bit in the 4th squadron, he had to do it.

"What about the third guess?" Harry couldn't wait to ask.

He listened to Dean explain the case, and he felt like he was listening to a story.

The others didn't speak, though.

But the eyes of old Hunter, including the elder Hunter, were urging Dean to continue.

"Marcas!" , Dean tapped Marcas' name with a paintbrush.

"This guy is a repeat offender, and he's an alcoholic, long-term marijuana smoker, and this time he was injured because he was too high, and he hit his head on the bar.

There is such a possibility:

The Sheehan family is indeed preparing to travel, and has even informed the people around them.

The results are before departure.

Marcus had a drug addiction attack and killed Sheehan's dog, and Sheehan's wife came forward to theorize that she was also killed.

Marcas, who came to his senses, in a panic, dragged the blood stains on the ground with a mop, making a mess, and after finally dealing with it, he simply didn't do anything and killed Sheehan's family.

This also explains why the blood stains in the hall of the villa are contaminated, but the walls are not treated.

Marcus is a homeless man with nothing.

After waiting for a while, he found that no one had found out about it, and finally became bold and sold the furniture and appliances in the villa in exchange for drug money.

In the end, Marcus went overhead and bruised his head, causing the little boy who found him to misunderstand, which eventually led to our intervention. ”

The United States, on the surface, is very concerned about the privacy of individuals.

If it weren't for the little boy calling the police.

The disappearance of the Sheehan family, no one really found out...

Bang Bang Bang ~

Lawrence took the lead in applauding: "Dean, you analyzed it well, this Marcus is indeed a major suspect. ”

Phoebe, Daisy, and Harry also applauded very hard and gave face.

In a short period of time.

Dean and they all get along.

This guy, in addition to soaking women, also has a hand in pulling relationships.

Old Hunter was driven by the atmosphere and joined in.

Only Robert, who is also a newcomer, was a little red-eyed, but was glared at by Phoebe, and could only honestly applaud and applaud Dean's reasoning.

Dean enjoyed the feeling.

But the key now is to gather more evidence.

And he already sensed that old Hunter was a little surprised.

Establishing an image is imperceptible.

Not in a hurry.

Dean slapped his face: "Guys, I have a hunch, this is another big case, but now the chain of evidence is missing a lot, even if Marcus really kills the Sheehan family, we can't convict him, so we must hurry up now and take action!" ”

Now the case is still in a fog.

He was going to wait for the results on Holtz's side before bringing it up.

Old Hunter's slap slowed down.

It doesn't feel right.

Dean's words interrupted his thoughts: "Deputy team, arrange work for us." ”

"Hmm." Old Hunter didn't think about what was wrong just now.

He followed the example of Captain Munn and knocked on the table: "Now we have to find out where the Sheen family went, because in addition to the three possibilities that Dean said, there is a fourth possibility, that is, the Sheen family did go on a tour, but they were killed on the way to the tour, and the female victim in the villa was someone else." ”

This is actually nonsense.

Old Hunter is purely habitual, wanting to show his presence as a vice-team.

"But!" Robert, who had never had a chance to speak, came to his senses: "Deputy team, the blood of the female victim is mixed with the blood of Sheehan, or Sheehan's son, which means that at least one of them was with the female victim at the time, how could he be killed while traveling?" ”

It's a chance to find an opening!

Robert raised his doubts cutely.

“...”

Old Hunter was asked.

He stood still, his mouth opened and closed several times, and then he said with an ugly face: "... Is it? ”

Phoebe rolled her eyes at her apprentice Robert.

This stupid melon!

The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward for a while.

Then.

Dean's phone vibrates.

It's a strange call.

Dean glanced at old Hunter who was embarrassed and picked up his phone: "Deputy team, I'll answer a call, it may be related to the case." ”

Old Hunter finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Dean at this moment was extremely pleasing to the eye: "Take it quickly, the meeting is about to end anyway." ”

Dean nodded and answered the phone.

"Dean?"

The voice is heard.

In Dean's mind, the head of bald patrol officer Hawk immediately appeared: "Yes, this is Dean, you are Hawke?" ”

"Yes, I don't have your phone, so I asked the archives to get your phone, and there is good news, Marcus is awake and in good condition."

"Great!" , Dean was overjoyed in his heart and said sincerely: "Thank you, Hawke, I will invite you to dinner when the case is over!" ”

Hawke could call the Fourth Squadron directly, but he took the trouble to contact him, probably because he was worried that he was a newcomer and would be robbed of credit.

This man can handle it.

Put down the phone.

Dean looked at everyone with a smile: "Good news, guys, the breakthrough point is here, Marcus is awake!" ”

Old Hunter took the opportunity to get up and arrange his work:

"Excellent!

Dean, you and Lawrence go to the hospital and interrogate him.

Daisy, you check the vehicles of the Sheehan family owners and keep an eye on their credit cards and related belongings.

Phoebe, you and I went to visit the Sheehans' acquaintances.

Harry, you're going to investigate all the information about Marcas.

As for you, Robert..."

In Robert's worried gaze, Old Hunter threw Daisy's hand, the list that came from the logistics company: "You are responsible for recovering all the furniture and appliances, and putting them back to the original location of the villa with the people from the forensic department!" ”

Poor boy, it looks like he's going to have to be a porter!

Old Hunter deserves to be an old fritter.

All aspects have been taken into account.

By the way, he also taught rookie Robert a lesson openly: don't slap the leader in the face!

The division of labor is complete.

The crowd got busy.

Dean also pulled Lawrence, a strong man, into the cute pink Porsche, and drove towards the hospital where Marcus was.

He had a hunch.

Marcas, the key figure, will bring a breakthrough and direction to the case!
