Chapter 26: Another Aspect of the Case
In addition to whether the process of solving the case is in accordance with the regulations, whether the evidence for the crime is sufficient, etc., and the things that are easy to be put in the spotlight by the media to point fingers, there are many people who will sympathize with the murderer, and then a bunch of people rush to argue with the murderer.
It doesn't matter what crime the murderer committed and how many people he killed.
It is understandable that the lawyer defended the murderer for the sake of his life.
But why do ordinary people sympathize with the killers...... It can only be said that the United States has its own national conditions here.
"Don't be in a hurry, Mr. Darren."
At the critical moment, it was Luo An who walked out.
Pacified Darren into the conference room, asked him to wait a while, and walked out of the conference room Luo An said to Augustus with a serious expression:
"It's definitely not someone from our group who leaked this case."
Hearing this, Augustus's face gradually improved, and the faces of the agents in the office area gradually eased.
"Who leaked that?"
Augustus asked, "There are only you and the agents of the trace examination department at the scene, is it a trace...... Wrong! ”
As he spoke, Augustus suddenly remembered something, and his face sank:
"You said you went to the scene of the crime with Lacey and the NYPD patrol officers, so it was the NYPD that leaked the case?"
Lacey's face suddenly turned ugly.
Luo An still shook his head and said:
"In addition to those of us, there is also a freelance journalist Joseph."
"Who?"
Augustus frowned.
Luo An took Mona to the computer and asked her to enter the information of Joseph's driver's license that she had seen before, and soon, Joseph's identity, occupation and other information were placed in front of everyone's eyes:
"Joseph Smith, 33, is a 'night walker' who makes a profit by filming conflicts, fires, murders and other crimes every night and then selling the footage to News Corp."
Lacey's face on the side was extremely ugly, and she didn't listen when Luo An called, so she drove Joseph away.
It was she who ignored the existence of Joseph as a person.
“Fu-k!”
Augustus slapped the table hard, and Roan explained:
"It seems that this wolf dog smelled big news on us, and then I don't know how to get the general situation of the case."
The reason why I say it is rough is because the host on TV only said the general outline of the case, and did not say the key facts of the case
"I'll deal with this wolfdog."
Joseph's behavior this time was a bit out of bounds, and Augustus decided to go back and teach him a lesson, such as finding a crime and imprisoning him for a while.
The fact that the case is in the news shows that the development of the matter is beyond the control of Augustus, and generally when the matter is out of the control of the chief, the higher-level prefect will begin to ask for the guilt.
Sure enough, immediately after August's phone rang, Augustus looked at the contact, the group leader Verenis.
Augustus: "......"
One year is too short, let's lock it up for three years!
Waving his hand to signal what the detectives should do, it is a rare thing to work overtime for the kidnapping of a rich woman today.
Walking into the team leader's office with Roan, Augustus took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
"Augustus, I've seen the news."
The group leader, Vereneth, didn't talk nonsense at all, and her voice was cold and crisp:
"What's next for you? Are you sure you can solve this case? ”
Augustus didn't know what to say, did he have the ability to solve the case, could Verenis not know?
So he didn't hesitate and stuffed his phone directly to Luo An.
Ann Roan: "??? ”
Looking at the mobile phone in his hand, Luo An looked confused.
Isn't this your chief?
Until Verenis's voice on the other end of the phone began to become a little impatient, Luo An secretly scolded the Augustians for having a black face and a black heart, and hurriedly answered the phone:
"Hello sir, I'm Roan Greenwood."
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and it was a long time before Verenis's voice rang again, cold and emotionless:
"Why are you answering the phone, Augustus?"
"He ......"
Looking at Augustus, who was sitting in the chair behind the desk and shaking his hand repeatedly, Roan immediately replied:
"He waved at me and wouldn't let me give him the phone."
Augustus: "......"
"Hmph."
Verenes on the other end of the phone snorted coldly, knowing what kind of temperament Augustus was, she stopped talking nonsense, and asked directly:
"This case has already been in the news, and my superiors have ordered me to hold a press conference tomorrow morning, and once the press conference is held, the time for solving the case is limited to 24 hours. So within 24 hours, the case must be solved, the murderer must be caught, can you do it? ”
After a few seconds of silence, Luo An asked, "If I succeed in solving the case within 24 hours, is there any reward?" ”
Vereneth on the other end of the phone spoke in a bad tone:
"The case was originally yours, and the news was also stabbed out by you for not protecting the case yourself, not only did I not punish you Investigation Team No. 5, but you also want a reward?"
Without waiting for Roan to speak, Vereneth continued:
"If you can't solve the case, tell me now, and I'll hand it over to someone else immediately. If you think you can solve the case, but you don't succeed in solving the case within 24 hours, you can leave the job when the time is up. ”
Even in order to rescue the reward money after rescuing the rich woman, it is impossible for Luo An to withdraw.
Thinking of the speculation, Luo An, who had a little eyebrows, was ready to agree, but at this moment, Augustus suddenly walked over and snatched the phone.
Ann Roan: "? ”
snatched the phone, and the expression on Augustus's face was very solemn:
"Sir, is Brosson back from Washington headquarters?"
Hearing Augustus's voice, Verenes wanted to taunt him, but when she heard the content of the other party's words, the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.
She understood the meaning of Augustus's words.
The call was immediately hung up.
Luo An looked at Augustus with some doubts, only to see Augustus's ugly face as if it was black coffee without sugar, and when he contacted what the other party just said, Luo An seemed to understand something.
In a moment, August's mobile phone rang, and after pressing the answer button, Virenice's voice was immediately heard on the other end:
An hour before the TV news appeared, Brosson was promoted to group leader at headquarters. Twenty-four hours later, Brosson officially took office. ”
The tone was so cold that people shuddered when they heard it, and Augustus had an expression on his face that was indeed the case.
Luo An, who was standing on the side, nodded thoughtfully.
The thirteen investigation teams of the New York branch have already been divided up by four team leaders including Vereneth, and there is still a team assigned to the new team leader Brossen.
Apparently aware of what he would face in the future, Brosson decided to preemptively target the head of the five investigation teams at his disposal in order to make sure he didn't become an empty shelf with someone at his disposal.
The kidnapping case, which escalated into a serial murder case, now seems to have been leaked to the media by Brosson.
Joseph the Nightcrawler is just a toolman.
Roan was still a little puzzled before, Joseph, a reporter wandering the streets, could not have known what the consequences of offending the FBI were.
was stabbed to the media by this case, is it really to make money and die?
Now seeing Brosson hidden behind the scenes, it all finally made sense.
