Augustus's words made the entire detectives of Investigation Group 5 frown, and Luo An asked directly:

"When?"

"I don't know."

Augustus shook his head, the NYPD only said the location of the crime, and the tragic situation of the deceased's lower body being cut off, and they did not investigate the specific circumstances of the body.

“OK。”

Luo An didn't say anything, and immediately turned around and said:

"Ryder, Mona, you two go and bring Magdalina back now.

Lacey and I went to this new crime scene. ”

"No problem!"

Mona and Ryder got up and walked briskly into the equipment room, followed by Lacey, and Roan took out her cell phone and called the trace laboratory first.

Forty minutes later, a villa on New York's Upper West Side.

"The deceased's name was Carl Zoff, a senior lawyer at a law firm."

The NYPD and Luo An, who were waiting at the scene, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then led the two to the victim's death area:

"According to the law firm, Carl Zoffe took a few days off four days ago due to physical discomfort, but he didn't go to work this morning and couldn't get through on the phone, so his boss asked us to take a look at his situation."

Walking up to the second floor of the villa, Carl Zoff's place of death was in the study, and the cause of death was also a large number of stab wounds in the chest, and the lower body was equally horrific.

Lacey glanced at it and turned her head to look at other clues, while Ann began to scrutinize the surroundings of the corpse and asked:

"Does this house have a security system?"

The NYPD did not answer, and one of the agents in the Traces Division nodded, picked up the laptop in his arms, and said:

"There is one, and the surveillance camera behind the house captured the figure of the murderer."

Luo An got up and looked at the computer in the other party's hand, inside was a man of the same figure, also wearing black clothes, black pants and a black hood, and even the method of picking the lock was the same.

But surveillance cameras also failed to capture the killer's face.

"The time of death of the four victims was 15 days ago, 10 days ago, 4 days ago and yesterday, this murderer is really ......"

After the video was played, Luo An smashed his tongue, not knowing how to describe this serial killer.

Turning his head to continue to inspect the study, Luo An found half a bloody footprint next to a carpet, and summoned the detectives from the trace laboratory department to let them sort it out, and was just about to get up and leave, Luo An suddenly found that the posture of the corpse was not quite right.

According to the Traces Section, as well as the NYPD description just now, the time of death of the victim, Carl Zoff, should have been around 3-4 days.

At 2 to 3 days, the body will begin to decompose from the abdomen of the human body, decomposing and leaving behind gas, so that the body will begin to swell, and at 3 to 4 days, the decay will begin to spread from the abdomen, and the veins will become more discolored.

At this point, Carl Zoff's corpse did begin to swell, but it seemed to be a little larger than normal.

Luo An scratched his head, and was just about to speak to the detective of the trace laboratory in the study, when Lacey's voice suddenly came from the bedroom not far away:

"Roan! Come to me! ”

“OK。”

Walking into the bedroom, a trace agent is examining Carl Zoff's laptop, while Lacey is looking at a large black box with a strange expression.

Seeing Luo Ann arrive, Lacey showed the contents of the big black box to Luo An, and Luo An looked down and found that the big black box was full of all kinds of toys.

“……”

The corners of Luo An's mouth twitched, and he turned his head to look at Lacey:

"Is it because of your lesbian attributes? How can you always find these things? ”

The last time she went to the house of Kayden Smith's sister, who stole the bomb, Lacey was also under the bed in Kayden Smith's basement and found a bunch of items that made Roan's eyes spicy.

"Humph!"

Glancing at Luo An angrily, Lacey took out a small box from the big black box and said:

"This is the latest model that just came out this year, and it is the kind that can be remotely controlled.

I thought I could find the remote here at Carl Zoff, but I didn't. ”

The corners of Luo An's mouth twitched, as if he thought of something, Racy didn't see the expression on his face, stretched out her hand and pointed to the detective of the trace laboratory department on the side, and said:

"We just found some chat logs in Carl Zoff's laptop, and screenshots of photos, and ......"

"OK, OK, needless to say."

Luo An waved his hand with a complicated expression, he seemed to understand the reason why the corpse had swelled a little bigger:

"So, Lacey, you mean, Carl Zoffer is a gay?"

"It may be, but it's not for sure."

Lacey nodded, then shook her head again:

"I don't understand what these rich people think, maybe they just want to try new things."

"Okay."

Luo An nodded, he didn't understand what these people thought, so he turned around and asked the two trace detectives in the study to wait for the corpse to be transported, and after paying more attention to the exit of the corpse, he took out his mobile phone and called Mona:

"How's it going, did you catch Magdalina?"

"Well, things are a little complicated right now."

Mona on the other end of the phone had a strange look on her face:

"The two of us have managed to bring Magdalena into the interrogation room, but before Ryder and I could begin the interrogation, Special Agent Director Vereneth arrived in our Investigation Team Five.

Verenis said that just now, a director of the NYPD, a leader of the Department of Homeland Security, a leader of the Department of Science and Technology, a leader of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), the deputy mayor of New York City, a member of the New York Assembly, and the deputy director of our FBI New York branch all called her to ask about the case.

That's why Vereneth didn't let me and Ryder interrogate Magdalena right now, and I'm going to have to wait until you get back. ”

Ann: "......"

After listening to Mona's description, Luo An's face twitched and he felt a pain in his eyes.

He remembered a piece of news from his previous life.

In '08, a federal federal jury indicted a middle-aged and elderly white woman named Palfrey, nicknamed "Mrs. Washington," for "running a prostitution ring."

According to the news at the time, Palfrey, the company "Pamela Martin Escorts," which was run in Washington, was suspected of providing erotic services.

Not only did Palfrey earn more than $2 million in illicit income from it, but her clients were mostly Washington's political elite, including assistant secretaries of state, members of Congress, NASA officials, Navy officials, World Bank staff, IMF fund managers, lawyers, and more.

In an effort to force "important people" to come forward and testify in his favor, Palfrey provided the media with a number of important client phone records and said he would never go to prison to serve his sentence.

At the same time, Palfrey also said: "I definitely won't go to federal prison, whether it's 4 years or 8 years, and if necessary, I'm going to bring all those clients in!" ”

Offending so many people, Parfrey's conceivable end, not surprisingly, "out of shame, Ms. Parfrey chose to commit suicide in prison when she was only 10 days away from the court trial." ”

Whether Palfrey committed suicide or not, Roan didn't want to know, he wanted to know one thing now:

This Magdalina, what the hell is going on?

Now the time is 05, could it be that this New York is Magdalina, the predecessor of Washington Palfrey?

If I wait for the interrogation of Magdalina and I find something unrelated to this case, then ......

Back in the SUV at Jacob's federal building, Roan immediately took out his cell phone and called Vereneth.

It's time to ask your thighs for thoughts and opinions.
