Chapter 425: Rhett's Spring (3)
"There was no sign of damage from the door to the couch, and it is possible that the suspect forced the female victim to walk here at gunpoint, saying things like, 'Do what I say, and you won't get hurt.'"
He then sat the victim on the couch and pulled the trigger directly on her head, the victim's fiancΓ©'s death may not have been planned by the suspect, and he was shot three times in the chest, and the angle of the shot was completely opposite to before.
I was biased towards the suspect after the murder, and it happened that the victim's fiancΓ© happened to come back and found the victim lying on the sofa, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and then the suspect who was hiding on the side appeared, bang, bang! β
When Hodgner, Red, and Jack change into shoe covers and gloves and walk into the crime scene, a young, beautiful, and glamorous FBI agent is chatting with her companion.
"Hannah?" Jack was surprised to see his girlfriend.
"What are you doing" Hannah turned her head to see the three of them in surprise, and then saw Angela following closely behind.
Tim shrugged, "Jack, they just happened to have a seminar in the bureau, so stop by and have a look." β
Hannah and Angela hugged and explained softly, "Natalie Lane is a promising movie star, and the district prosecutor's office had some speculation and called us directly, so I showed up."
If I confirm their suspicions, I will contact Jiejie directly, but I didn't expect you to be here. β
Jack walked into the living room and saw the deceased woman lying on the sofa, dressed in home clothes, blonde and blue-eyed, sweet-looking, no more than 20 years old, with a small hole in her forehead.
On the floor in front of her, there was a man of her age, who had been shot three times in the chest, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and his expression was frightened, but there was not much blood on the carpet under him.
"Point 22 small-caliber pistol, even if you don't use a silencer, the neighbors may not be able to hear the gunshots, this is a high-end community, and the houses are far away."
Jack examined the wound on the deceased's forehead, a small-caliber bullet slightly larger than a capsule was inexpensive and very common.
As soon as Rhett arrived at the scene, he got into the groove and walked around the living room to observe the situation at the scene.
"We found the porch surveillance, and the murderer was a courier wearing a motorcycle helmet, wearing a one-piece racing suit, and it was completely impossible to identify him."
John and Tim also walked in through the door, the former still holding a USB drive in his hand, and greeted Hannah in the same surprise.
The crowd went around separately and found nothing more.
"It's clean, there is almost no evidence left, it's like a professional assassin, and the district prosecutor suspects that this case is related to two other cases, the same point 22 small-caliber pistol, both of which were fatal with a shot to the head."
Hannah entered the working state with a very serious expression and full of aura.
"That's what we think, too." Angela nodded, "Producer Willie Myleman and actress Chloe Harris, I bet soon there will be tabloids linking these murders and making a big splash." β
"So what does BAU think?" Hannah looked at Hodchner, who had never said a word, and here he was the boss.
"First of all, confirm whether there is a conflict of interest between the three victims, including ties to local gangs, and the point 22 caliber is the most common weapon used by gang killers.
If the above is denied, then the murderer is likely to be a Category 4 Assassin, and I will call my team to help. β
Hearing Hodchner say this, John touched Jack on the shoulder and asked in a low voice, "What is a Fourth Category Assassin?" β
Seeing that Hannah on the other side also pricked up his ears, Jack tilted his head slightly to this side, couldn't help but smile slightly, and simply explained in a voice that everyone present could hear.
"The first type is the political assassins, like the one who assassinated Lincoln, and the second is the egotists who want to be easily recognized."
Before Jack's words fell, Rhett, who had been robbed of his science time, couldn't wait to continue, "The third category is psychopaths, the kind of cold-blooded killers who will leave a tragic scene, and the fourth category is what we are looking for, a psychopath, usually paranoia."
As long as you can understand what the suspect is delusional, it will be easier to find the murderer. β
Tim looked like he was knowledgeable and nodded, "Okay, leave this to Angela and me, give us half a day." β
"Uh, guys, I think we're in trouble."
Angela, who was looking at the gate, suddenly spoke, and everyone followed her line of sight to look out, only to see that outside the yellow cordon set up by the patrol officers, it was already crowded with reporters from all walks of life, holding long guns and short cannons and clicking here.
Jack pulled the polarizer out of his pocket and put it on, and said to John, "Looks like it's going to take the hard work, guys." β
"It's incumbent."

The next day, in the large conference room of the Wilshire Police Department after a long absence, Jiejie stood on the podium where Gray or Tim usually stand, playing some visual evidence on the screen.
Obviously, after Tim and Angela confirmed that there was no conflict of interest between the three victims and no connection to the gang, the case was forwarded directly to BAU by Hannah, who had more cases on her plate.
The first two victims, Willie Melman and Chloe Harris, were both killed in public, and Chloe was killed while walking her dog on Santa Monica Beach, as is her habit every morning.
And Willy Myleman was killed outside a massage parlor, a place he goes every Tuesday. β
Underneath the podium sat the BAU crowd and the detectives and officers of the Wilshire Police Department.
"It shows that the murderer is likely to follow and investigate the victim for a period of time before he did it, there are no eyewitnesses, he surveyed the terrain in advance, and knows how to disappear in broad daylight as soon as possible after doing it, very cautious."
Rosie, who was sitting in the audience, commented.
Jiejie continued, "There are already media outlets calling Natalie Lane's murder the most egregious homicide in Hollywood since Sharon Tate. β
Sharon Tate was a famous Hollywood actress in the 60s of the last century, and when she was pregnant, she died at the brutal torture of the hippie lexicoides "The Manson Family".
The case has been called the darkest moment before the end of Hollywood's Golden Age, and is seen as the last straw that crushed the hippie movement.
In Jack's previous life, the talented director Quentin pulled Leonardo and Brad Pitt together to make a "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", re-enacting this history.
Those who don't know the inside story of this passage may not be able to understand what the movie really wants to convey at the end, thinking that it is just a plot that Quentin has always created in pursuit of cruelty.
The murder of Natalie Lane is certainly not comparable to it today, but this sensational headline has also pushed the Wilshire Police Department, which took over the case, to the forefront.
Sure enough, before everyone could discuss it for long, Jack saw a familiar silhouette appear in the police station.
"Hi guys, long time no see, did you miss me?" Taylor Kelly, who was smiling and smiling, knocked lightly on the glass door in a beautiful little dress.
Jack rubbed his temples with a headache and stood up, "Taylor, it's not time yet, it's impossible for us to be interviewed, you know." β
It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass
