Chapter 5: Stalkers
Luo An glanced at the scene of the crime, automatically ignored the onlookers in the distance, his expression moved slightly, and he began to use the killer's modus operandi to simulate the murderer's behavior at the time of the crime.
Time seems to go back in time, in the dark park path, the murderer follows Mike all the way, Mike seems to sense something and starts to trot, but does not shake off the other party. At this time, the murderer called out Mike's name, and Mike reluctantly turned around and agreed..... Bang!
Roan's eyes narrowed slightly, his right hand simulated the action of shooting, and then stood at the place of Mike's body for a few seconds, and then ran violently in the direction of the woods to the east.
Mona, who was standing next to her, looked at Luo An's movements with a confused face, and saw Luo An striding towards the woods and hurriedly got up to catch up with the other party, but there were too many branches in the woods, and Mona just lowered her head to avoid the branches, and then looked up and disappeared Luo An.
"Shit!"
Mona scolded, but didn't understand why Roan was able to run so fast in the woods, everyone was from the FBI Academy in Virginia...... Could it be that someone opened a small stove for Luo An?
Since she couldn't keep up with Luo An, Mona decisively chose not to follow, turned around and walked back to the scene of the crime, ready to wait for Luo An to come to her.
On the other side, Luo An completely ignored the wild mandarin ducks that scolded him, and kept speeding through the woods, and soon ran out of the woods and arrived at a road east of the park.
Looking at the endless stream of vehicles on the highway, and then at the few shops on the other side of the highway, Luo An pondered for a few seconds and turned back the way he came.
At the scene of the crime, Mona was sitting on a chair fiddling with the computer, and when she saw Luo An, she raised her hand to signal that she was here, and when she saw Luo An sitting down, Mona asked:
"How's it going, did you find any clues?"
"Of course."
Luo An nodded with a smile and said, "The murderer should be a soldier who has an unsatisfactory life after being discharged from the army, and who came out to pick up the work, and may even have retired from the special forces." ”
"Why?"
"Because along the way, I only found the footprints of the NYPD police officers and the footprints of the police dogs, and nothing else."
“......”
Mona was speechless, she didn't expect Luo An to say such righteous words that she didn't find any clues, but Luo An said that not finding any clues was the biggest clue:
"The place I walked through just now is the best place to run after killing people."
"There are countless branches in the woods, and anyone who passes by will inadvertently break a few branches, but I just took a closer look, and the newly broken branches either have police dog footprints, or police dog footprints and police boot footprints, and there are no newly broken branches in other places, and there are no obvious footprints."
"The only people who can have this kind of anti-reconnaissance consciousness are people in the special forces."
After listening to Luo An's explanation, Mona stopped fiddling with the computer and tilted her head in wonder: Did she go to a fake FBI training academy?
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Seeing Luo An ask herself, Mona shook her head, pushed the laptop in her hand to Luo An, and said:
"This is the autopsy report that has just been sent, and it shows that the deceased had a small amount of alcohol in his stomach."
"Did the deceased drink before he died?"
Luo An's face immediately turned happy when he saw the report, and he tilted his head and asked:
"There are a couple of bars on the south side of the park, can you find out?"
"Why South?"
Mona took the computer and asked, her fingers darling through the relevant information.
"Because the deceased came from the south side of the park...... I guess. ”
Hearing Roan's words, Mona pursed her lips, and after a few seconds, she finished searching and showed the screen to Roan:
"There are only two bars in the neighborhood, and more a few blocks away."
"OK, let's go to these two bars first, we have time anyway."
"No, we only have three days."
......
No one had seen the deceased Mike at the bar on the left side of the block, so Roan and Mona turned and walked to the bar on the right.
"Have you ever seen this person?"
Seeing the photo in Mona's hand, the bar owner shook his head:
"He's not a regular at our bar, I didn't see this guy yesterday."
Mona looked up at Roan, who turned her head to look at the beautiful waitress who was chatting with someone on the side, and the bar owner saw this and called the waiter over loudly.
The waitress with long red hair, mainly convex forward, walked over, and her eyes lit up when she saw Luo An's face:
"Hello, just call me Christine."
Said it was you, but the waitress's eyes were only on Luo An.
Mona rolled her pretty eyes and handed the photo to Christine, blocking the other party's view of Roan:
"Have you ever seen this person?"
Christine was not angry when her vision was blocked, she threw a wink at Luo An, and said directly after taking the photo:
"I've seen this guy come to our bar yesterday and ordered two glasses of red wine and sat in the corner looking like he was waiting for someone. But in the end no one came, so he drank the two glasses of red wine alone and left. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Mona's mouth moved, and she subconsciously looked at Luo An, but she didn't expect that Mike really walked into the park from the south before his death.
Luo An didn't see Mona's expression, and when he learned that Christine had seen the deceased Mike, he hurriedly asked:
"Did anyone come in after he left? Or is there someone looking for him? ”
"Is there a reward for me for answering this question?"
“......”
Luo An was speechless, Mona snorted coldly, patted Luo An on the shoulder and said to her:
"As long as the information you provide is useful, this man will be yours tonight."
"Then it's settled."
Christine smiled and shoved a note into Roan's arms, and then said:
"There was an old man sitting at the bar, and after the man in the photo left the bar, he also left the bar after him."
Luo An instantly looked back at the bar owner:
"Do you have security cameras here?"
Hearing this, Christine glanced at the bar owner with disdain, and her tone was very unhappy:
"There is only one one, and he is still rushing to the cash register, mainly for fear that we will steal money."
"Christine!"
The bar owner was a little embarrassed, Christine didn't care about him, lowered his head and felt for a dozen notes in his pocket, looked for it, took out one of them and handed it to Roan, shrugged:
"Here's the old man's contact information."
“......”
Seeing Roan and Mona looking at themselves with a look of surprise, Christine put her hands on her hips and chest, and the peaks were like a gathering - who do you look down on?
"I'm waiting for you tonight, handsome guy!"
Christine stood behind the bar door and waved her arms at the two Roannes who left the bar, Roan silently put the note in his pocket, and Mona sat in the car and used her laptop to enter the FBI's internal network to search for the identity of the owner of the phone number.
"Got it."
Soon, the computer showed who the owner of the phone number was:
"The owner of the phone number is called West-Watts, 56 years old, a professor at New York University, living in Scarsdale, his wife died just six months ago, and the cause of death is cancer......"
"University professor?"
Hearing Mona's introduction, Luo An, who was sitting in the driver's seat, rubbed his temples and felt a little pain in his head:
"Am I wrong?"
"To be honest, I don't feel like your analysis is right...... Except that the deceased did enter the park from the south. ”
Mona continued to look down at the information on the computer, and said:
"Let's go to West's house first and catch him."
“OK。”
Luo An nodded, started the car and turned around to leave the bar.
There was only the crackling typing sound of Mona in the car, Luo An felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and just wanted to say something, Mona's body suddenly shook and shouted:
“Fu-k! West died in a car accident! ”
