After returning to the office area of Investigation Team No. 5, Luo An decisively ......

Go home from work.

Anyway, Vereneth had just told him that the allotted week was starting tomorrow.

And today, in the morning, Roan participated in the extermination of the gang with Ryder, went to the Organized Crime Investigation Bureau at noon to participate in the interrogation of Robert, and in the afternoon went to find out the truth about the laundry owner.

After a busy day, he worked overtime and had no overtime pay, so Luo An decisively chose to get off work.

However, this time, Roan's plan to go to Mona's apartment for dinner fell through.

After thinking for a moment, Roan was invited by Lacey to visit Ryder in the hospital with her.

After making sure that the other party was okay, he would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and he would be able to go to work the day after tomorrow, Lacey wanted to invite Luo An to inspect the customs of New York, but Luo An refused.

Because the decoration company responsible for decorating the apartment sent Luo An another design drawing, hoping that Luo An would go and check it.

"Hah-"

The next day, sitting at his workstation, Roan stretched and yawned heavily.

"Good morning! Detectives! ”

Augustus, who had a big belly, pushed open the door of the office area of Investigation Group 5, walked in with Mona, and then shouted:

"A new day begins! We have a new case in our hands! Everyone cheers me up! ”

A slap on the table at Lacey's workstation woke it up, and Augustus looked at William and said loudly:

"William, tell me about this serial bank robbery!"

"Yes, sir."

William, who had a large pile of things on his desk, stood up on the spot, picked up the top folder, and read it aloud to everyone:

"From the beginning of last month to the last week of this month, several banks in New York City's boroughs of Queens, the Bronx, and Brooklyn suffered a total of six robberies......"

After briefly briefing everyone on the case, William began to distribute a large pile of items on the table to the people of Investigation Team Five:

"These are the surveillance footage of the bank where the crime occurred, the statements of the bank staff and relevant witnesses, and the surveillance footage of the area near the bank."

Looking at these items, Rome raised his eyebrows, it looked like they were all brought by William from Investigation Team 14.

“Good。”

Augustus on the side nodded, looking satisfied, picked up the witness confession and looked at it briefly, tilting his head to look at Luo An:

"Ann Roan, what do you think?"

Seeing that all the detectives of the No. 5 investigation team turned their eyes on him, Luo An sighed, picked up the whiteboard marker, and walked to the front of the office area.

"First of all, the first problem, we don't know where the robbers fled after robbing the bank."

The members of Investigation Team 5 nodded, and according to the information, there was a serious lack of surveillance in the areas outside several banks, and the robbers disappeared completely after fleeing the banks.

Only after one of the robberies did surveillance on a street corner to the east of the bank record the gang of robbers fleeing.

"The second and most important problem."

Luo An took the whiteboard marker and continued to write as he spoke:

"As soon as the robbers entered the bank, they smeared the bank's camera with black spray paint.

Except for the third bank robbery, which recorded the whole process of the robber's robbery because the bank had a hidden camera, the remaining five robberies can only be restored through the confessions of various witnesses in the bank to restore the whole process of the robber's robbery at that time. ”

"That's right."

When all the agents heard Luo An's words, they nodded in unison, and Augustus seemed to understand something, and asked in a condensed voice:

"Is there something wrong?"

"That's right."

Luo An pointed to the text on the whiteboard and said:

"The robbers robbed for a while, in fact, only two and a half minutes.

During this time, the robbers demanded that all the people in the bank should lie on the ground and not look up.

Therefore, most of the confessions of these eyewitnesses only talked about the robber's clothing and the robbery process, but did not really contact the robbers. ”

"No, Roan."

Hearing this, Lacey raised the folder in her hand and said:

"In the six robberies, except for the first and sixth robbers, the remaining four robbers all pulled up a female hostage in front of them and used them to threaten the bank security guard to let the security guard put down the gun, so these four women actually came into contact with the robbers."

"You're right, Lacey."

Luo An nodded, but then shook his head again and said:

"But you did the opposite, in fact, it was the robbers who took the initiative to contact the four hostages, not the four hostages who took the initiative to contact the robbers."

Hearing Luo An's words, everyone present frowned, not understanding what he meant.

Seeing this, Luo An explained in a deep voice:

When the robbers forcibly took the four female witnesses hostage, the four female witnesses were so frightened that their mental attention was not on the robbers at all, but on the bank security guards opposite.

In addition, they turned their backs to the robbers and did not see the appearance of the robbers clearly, and the robbers only pointed a gun at their heads and did not touch them closely, so they only knew that the robbers were men, and they had a lot of strength, and they knew that the other party was white through the eyes of the mask.

But this information is not very useful for us to lock down the identity of the robbers.

When we catch the robbers, this information can be used in court. ”

"Good...... bar. ”

After listening to Luo An's words, Lacey tilted her head and thought for a moment and didn't find any problems, and after hesitating and nodding, Mona on the side looked up and asked:

"So, Roan, what do you mean by saying so much?"

"It's simple."

Luo An stepped forward, put aside the testimony of all the witnesses, and put aside all the surveillance footage, and then said in a deep voice:

"The process of the No. 14 investigation team is mainly based on large-scale investigations, such as checking the tattoos of the robbers, checking the surveillance near the bank, and interviewing relevant witnesses.

The surveillance video of the bank, except for the hidden camera video of the third robbery, the remaining five surveillance videos, because the picture quality is average and the time is short, so they did not analyze it carefully.

We need to turn around this time and put more effort into these five surveillance videos, and the testimony of witnesses, etc., can be slightly placed in the back. ”

“What？”

Hearing Luo An's words, Mona suddenly frowned, pointed to the computer screen and said:

"You also know that the quality of the surveillance video of these banks is average, and the whole process of the robbers from entering the bank to smearing the camera with black paint takes less than ten seconds, just such a few video clips, how can we catch the bank robbers with them?"

Augustus, Lacey, William, and others also frowned at Roan, and they didn't understand why Roan did this.

"Two reasons."

Luo An didn't talk nonsense, and explained with a serious face:

"First, large-scale investigation of this kind of thing requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Browson's No. 14 investigation team is not many, and the reason why they were able to launch a large-scale investigation in a short period of time is mainly because Brosson mobilized his many years of contacts regardless of the cost in order to solve this case.

There are only 10 people in our Investigation Team 5, and while we can't launch a large-scale investigation, none of them have such connections. ”

Augustus frowned, his connections were all in the Department of Criminal Justice, and he really couldn't help with this case.

After listening to Luo An's words, Mona and Lacey glanced at each other, tilted their heads and asked:

"And the second?"
