Chapter 181: [The Case of the Kidnapping of the Chief Financial Officer]
"Good morning, hard-working agents!"
Augustus pushed open the door of Investigation Group 5 and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Unfortunately, there's another case in New York this morning, and we have work to do again!"
Taking the materials that William had distributed to everyone, Ryder swallowed the breakfast in his mouth and muttered:
"Hell, can't these criminals in New York stop for a day?"
Hearing this, Luo An took the material and glanced at Ryder.
It is more reliable to count on the fact that there will be no cases in New York, a treasure trove of feng shui, than to count on world peace.
Looking down at the material, what I saw was a beautiful photo of a middle-aged white woman with a big head.
The one in the photo is the victim of this case:
Triss Perez, 41, is the CFO of a well-known cosmetics company in New York. β
After distributing the materials and receiving the instructions of Augustus, William introduced to the crowd:
"This morning, when Triss Perez went out to work, she was kidnapped and taken away a hundred meters south of her apartment.
The caller was a woman who got up early to walk her dog, and according to her, the kidnapper was a white man in a suit and leather shoes with a temperament much like someone who works on Wall Street.
The process described by the informant is simple:
The man followed Trissy, and as Triss walked to a black sedan, the man pulled out a pistol out of nowhere and held it to Trissy's head while covering her mouth to keep her from making a sound.
The man then opened the trunk of the car, stuffed Triss inside, and drove away from the scene.
According to the policeman, in addition to the tailgating process, the man took less than three seconds to do it, and the man drove away before her dog finished peeing. β
After listening to William's description, everyone in Investigation Team 5 had different expressions.
Sure enough, kidnapping only requires the most ordinary way of acting.
The information shows that the police did not read the license plate of the car clearly, but only saw it driving towards the east.
Augustus took the materials and discussed a few words with the detectives, then turned directly to look at Luo An and asked:
"Ann Roan, what should you do next, what do you think?"
Hearing Augustus' words, Roan raised his head:
"It shows that Triss's parents died a few years ago and are currently living alone, so Mona and I will go to her house first to find clues.
Triss is the Chief Financial Officer, which is why this case was handed over to us. Ryder and Lacey can go to the cosmetics company and ask their boss.
In addition, we also need to check the surveillance of the crime scene area and find the car, which can be the responsibility of William. β
βGreatγβ
Augustus nodded in satisfaction, clapped his hands vigorously, and loudly signaled everyone to obey Luo An's arrangement in the next case handling process, and finally added:
"Our most important goal now is to find Triss as quickly as possible and confirm whether she is alive or dead.
The first to find a specific clue will be rewarded with a large burger!
Now, let's take action! β
Hearing Hamburg, all the agents immediately threw a pair of health balls at Augustus, but they still acted quickly.
Luo An and the four of them walked into the equipment warehouse, sorted out their equipment, and drove two SUVs in two directions.
ββ
Triss Perez's apartment.
Luo An looked around and asked two NYPD patrol officers to help visit the neighbors around Triss, maybe he could get something out.
With the search certificate in hand, with the help of the Trace Examination Unit, Roan and Mona managed to enter the apartment.
"Wow, that's the CFO of a cosmetics company."
As soon as she stepped into the living room, Mona sighed.
Because she saw all kinds of lipsticks, masks, facial cleansers, and a whole lot of skincare products.
And that's just more in the living room, bedroom and bathroom.
The only place where there is no cosmetics is the study in the apartment.
The desks in the study only have computers, keyboards, and other items.
But the bookshelf across the desk is filled with information and books related to federal taxes.
Walking into the study, Luo An picked up a book related to federal tax law and flipped through it, then turned back to several agents in the trace examination department and said:
"Take away all the electronic devices here, and double-check the bedrooms and bathrooms to see if there are any fingerprints or DNA from any third parties."
"No problem!"
Several agents from the Traces Division began to get busy, and Roan turned and walked back to the living room, where he found Mona wearing gloves and a serious look at some cosmetics.
"What's wrong, Mona?"
Luo An raised her eyebrows, could it be that she had found a clue?
Mona turned her head and said in a low voice:
"Ann, I just took a closer look.
Add up the prices of all the cosmetics in this apartment, and they're probably more expensive than the little apartment I bought! β
Mona, who has been poor recently, has envy, jealousy and hatred written on her face.
"Okay."
Hearing this, the corners of Luo An's mouth twitched.
"But that's actually an important clue, Roan."
Seeing the speechless expression on Luo An's face, Mona rolled her eyes, she felt as if she had been misunderstood by Luo An.
Picking up the makeup set on the living room table, Mona's face was serious:
"This set of things has a market price of $800, but they were just put in the living room by Triss and not used......"
Hearing the price of cosmetics in Mona's mouth, Luo An subconsciously scolded the cosmetics company, and lamented that women are the species in the world who are willing to spend money for themselves.
But then, Luo An immediately understood the meaning of Mona's words, and raised his eyebrows:
This shows that Triss doesn't care about these cosmetics at all, even if they are expensive.
Or rather, Triss didn't care about the person who gave her the makeup. β
βYeahγβ
Roan pulls out his phone and plans to call Lacey and ask her to investigate who always sends cosmetics to Trissy.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door of the apartment.
Roan took Mona to the door of the apartment and found that the other party was a well-dressed white woman, who was one of Trissy's neighbors during the NYPD's visit.
After a brief look at the other party, Luo An motioned for the NYPD to let her in.
"Humph!"
Raising her head and snorting coldly at the NYPD with her nostrils, the white woman strode in with her bag on her shoulder.
"Just call me Louisa."
Introducing her name, Luisa's eyes lit up when she saw Roan's face.
But seeing the Trace Laboratory Detectives who were busy in the room, Luisa hurriedly asked:
"What's going on? What about the Triss people? Where is she now? β
Luo An turned his head and gave Mona a look, Mona nodded quietly, walked to the side and began to inquire about Luisa's information.
The two of them have become more and more acquiescent.
"I'm sorry."
Luo An took off his gloves and replied:
"Triss was kidnapped at gunpoint this morning."
The NYPD didn't tell her about it.
As he said this, Roan stared at Luisa's facial expression.
Luisa was shocked to hear the news of Triss's kidnapping, but nothing else was wrong.
βOh My GodοΌβ
Louisa covered her mouth and exclaimed:
"I was with her last night! We had a few drinks.
It's because she was very emotionally broken last night and kept crying, so I'm here now! β
"Tryss is emotionally broken?"
Luo An immediately grasped the key point and asked with a serious face:
"What's going on?"
