Chapter 70: The Lake
In the melodious song, a young couple kissed each other in front of the priest, and the relatives and friends of the couple applauded warmly, and the church was full of happiness.
In the corridor behind the church.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Detective."
One of the administrators of the church, an old priest with glasses and gray hair, listened to Luo An's description, frowned and pondered for a long time, shook his head:
"I'm sorry, but I really haven't seen the man you just mentioned, and I don't have any impression in my mind."
At this, the old priest was stunned, tilted his head and pointed to the passers-by who were eating the votive food outside the church and said:
"You can ask them, some of them are often involved in giving, and maybe you can get useful news from them."
"Okay, thank you, Father."
"No thanks, may God bless you."
The old priest smiled and nodded, said a compliment to Luo An, and turned around and left slowly.
Turning around, through the glass, he saw the newlyweds in the church singing and dancing with his relatives and friends, and then thought of the several victims who were already lying in the morgue, and the corners of Luo An's mouth slowly went down.
"Together tomorrow night, that's it! Bye-bye..."
Lacey hugged each other with a young white woman dressed as a nun, chattered for a long time, agreed to go out together tomorrow, and then returned to Luo An, and said calmly:
"There's only one surveillance in the whole church, and it's still in the hall where the newlyweds hold their wedding ceremony, and the surveillance range is only the hall, and we can't find the white male standing in the corner outside the church that Louise said."
“...... Monitor the precautions put aside"
After a moment of silence, Luo An's expression was complicated, and his tone was even more complicated:
"Nuns, you won't let it go?"
"What do you think?"
Lacey glanced at Luo An and wiped away the faint lipstick marks on her face:
"Henna is a volunteer who came to this church to help, not a nun, wearing a nun's clothes, just to match the scene here."
Speaking of this, the corners of Lacey's mouth rose, her eyes lit up, and she whispered to herself: "But nun or something, I really haven't tried it." ”
Ann: "......"
"Luo An, I asked a few passers-by who often come here to rub food and eat."
Without waiting for Luo An to speak, the heavily armed Ryder ignored the surprised eyes of others, walked up to Luo An and said with a solemn expression:
"One of them was a scavenger who said he had seen two white males yesterday morning, standing in the corner with some food and chatting while eating.
The image of one of the men is similar to the image of the man in Louise's mouth. ”
"Oh?"
Taking his eyes off the scumbag, Luo An's eyes lit up after listening to Ryder's words, and he immediately said:
"You now immediately take the scavengers and Louis back to HQ while contacting the HQ's portrait specialists.
Ask him to draw the white male appearance described by the scavenger and Louise to see if it's a person. ”
"Okay."
Ryder nodded, turned around and went to make a call, just then, Roan's Nokia suddenly rang.
"What's wrong, Mona?"
Picking up the phone, Luo An looked through the glass and saw several young white women dressed as nuns cleaning the hall, the corners of their mouths slightly raised.
Don't talk about Lacey, nuns or something, he ...... him too
"I've found an important clue, Roan!"
Mona's voice on the other end of the phone was very solemn, and suddenly pulled back Luo An's attention:
"Just five hours after Susan's disappearance, a gray sedan pulled out of a small wooded area 2.7 miles northwest of Little St. Phil's Church, and in that wooded area, there was a small lake."
"Shit!"
Luo An immediately threw aside the messy thoughts in his head, hurriedly pulled Racy back to the SUV, and rushed in the direction of the wooded area with one foot on the accelerator.
Ryder didn't get in the car because he was going to take the scavengers and Louise back to the FBI's New York headquarters for mock portraits.
The pitch-black SUV was speeding through the busy streets like a sharp sword, Lacey, who was sitting in the co-pilot, swallowed and silently fastened her seat belt, while Luo An continued to ask into the phone:
"Tell me more about the surveillance, Mona."
“OK。”
Mona on the other end of the phone didn't talk nonsense, and said directly:
"The location of Susan's disappearance belongs to the Old Town, and there is no networked surveillance, so I followed your request and set my sights on the main road on the outskirts of the Old Town, where there is complete surveillance.
Susan's disappearance was after half past nine in the evening, about nine thirty-five p.m., and from the place where Susan disappeared from the Old Town, I calculated the time it took for the car to arrive at the various intersections, and the error was within ten minutes
...... It turned out that there were too many gray cars to be found at all. ”
Twisting the steering wheel and stepping on the accelerator, the pitch-black SUV easily overtook the little Buick in front, and when he heard Mona's words, Luo An nodded.
More than nine o'clock in the evening is the prelude to the opening of the nightlife, and it is normal to have more cars.
"But it occurred to me that after the murderer had killed someone, he would throw the body in the lake."
Speaking of which, Mona on the other end of the phone smiled:
"The last time you were looking for the kidnapper, the habitual thinking mentioned reminded me, and I wonder if this murderer will also have habitual thinking and throw the body into the lake after killing someone, so I started investigating the nearby lake.
Sure enough, five hours after Susan's disappearance, the sight of a gray car driving out of a grove with a lake was clearly illuminated by a small house on the edge of a wooded area.
This small house was built by an old white man who often came to this forest area to fish, and he was afraid that the fishing things would be stolen, so he installed a network monitoring outside the small house. ”
After listening to Mona's narration, Luo An's face turned strange.
Sure enough, the angler can catch anything but fish.
"That's right,"
The steering wheel twisted suddenly, and the pitch-black SUV drew a semicircle on the ground, quickly driving into another road, Lacey's face changed slightly, and Luo An continued to ask:
"Can you find out who owns that gray sedan?"
"I can't find it."
Mona on the other end of the phone tapped the keypad a few times, and her face turned across:
"The gray sedan was driving sideways through the surveillance and I couldn't see the license plate. Moreover, the car disappeared after exiting the forest area, and no traces of it were found on the main traffic roads. ”
"OK, good work, Mona."
Luo An frowned slightly, but he didn't say much, and after hanging up the phone, he saw that there were not many cars on the road ahead, so he stepped on the accelerator again, and the speed of the SUV was a few points faster.
Lacey: "....."
Tapan Woodland, a small forest area. There are no large human communities in the vicinity, only a small community of a few dozen people.
Therefore, except for the occasional DYD fishing in the small lake on the west side of the wooded area on weekends, there are also occasional young men and women who steal the forbidden fruit to seek excitement here.
Raven and Ken are such a pair of young people.
Men and women in love are always looking for a little thrill, and the regular outdoor battles have been tired of the two.
After thinking about it for a long time, they decided to skip class today and come to the depths of this wooded area to imitate Tarzan, an ape played by a certain dark Sophie Marceau, and play the exciting life of a wild man without clothes all morning.
And then......
"Ahhh
