Hearing Lacey's words, Luo An immediately asked:

"What's going on?"

Mona and Michelle also cast questioning glances.

"Here's the picture."

Lacey didn't answer, but directly took out the photo of Team Leader Owen before the bus maintenance and put it in front of everyone.

Luo An and the three looked down and found that there were seven or eight cracks in the position of the front windshield of the co-pilot of Team Irving's bus in the photo, with the glass facing inward, and holes the size of a baby's fist.

Mona grinned at the corners of her mouth:

"Could this have been done by a bird?"

Lacey took a sip of the coffee in her cup and answered:

"Maybe the bird has an explosives bag strapped to it."

Next to Michelle added:

"Now the question is, Team Leader Owen's bus was shot, and not only did he not report it, why did he panic?"

"Maybe Team Leader Owen knows the person who shot him, or maybe he knows who fired the shot."

Luo An replied casually, clasped his hands in front of his chest, narrowed his eyes slightly, and bowed his head and groaned.

After thinking for a moment, Luo An suddenly thought of something, looked up and asked Lacey:

"By the way, how did you get this picture?"

It doesn't seem to be easy for the logistics side to say that they have something that involves their interests.

"Thanks to Michelle."

Lacey put her arm around Michelle's shoulders and said with a smile:

"She taught me things that the agents on the back of the line couldn't refuse."

Mona looked at Michelle with some surprise, and Michelle smiled slightly:

"I've worked in the prosecutor's office before, I've dealt with this kind of thing, and I know how to deal with those people.

And Lacey is a smart and quick learner, I only said it once and she remembered it. ”

Glancing at Lacey, who was with her hands on her hips and a proud face, Luo An coughed lightly, walked to the front of the office area, picked up a pen and wrote on the whiteboard borrowed by the No. 4 investigation team that had not yet been returned, and wrote as he spoke:

"Guys, we have a few questions that we haven't figured out.

First, why was Team Leader Owen's bus shot, but he hid it.

Second, why was Team Leader Owen's last call for help on my face?

Third, what was the reason for Team Leader Owen's killing? Revenge or something else? ”

Speaking of this, Luo An's eyes flashed, and he suddenly thought of something, and asked while writing:

"And fourth, why did Team Leader Owen go to that pier southwest of Los Angeles last night, and what was he doing there?"

Hearing Roan's fourth question, Mona raised her hand and replied:

"I've checked the surveillance cameras in that area of the dock and haven't found anything out of the ordinary."

Michelle and Lacey frowned and fell silent when they heard this, and Luo An threw the whiteboard marker aside, thought for a while, and asked:

"Have you checked Team Leader Owen's call log?"

"Call logs?"

Mona shook her head for a moment, then quickly moved her chair back to her computer:

"I'll start looking into it."

“OK。”

Roan went on to say to Lacey and Michelle:

"Lacey, Michelle, you go to the office of the leader of Investigation Team 2 now, and bring us all the office supplies and personal belongings of Team Leader Owen."

"No problem."

The two nodded, got up and left the Special Investigation Team.

Team Leader Owen's supplies in the office of the Leader of Investigation Team 2 were not very large, except for some case reports and files, there were not many other items.

The three of Juan, Lacey, and Michelle sat together, flipping through Team Leader Owen's belongings little by little, and the time soon came to noon.

After lunch, Mona was busy in front of her computer for a while, and then suddenly raised her hand:

"Guys, I've got a clue."

The three of Luo An immediately moved their chairs to Mona's side:

"What clues?"

"Some phone numbers are different, but call logs in the same location."

Mona tapped on the keyboard for a moment, and a series of phone numbers and a map appeared on the computer, which she pointed to and explained:

"Since half a year ago, Team Leader Owen has been on the phone many times with different one-time calls.

The time of contact between the two is not fixed, but the frequency is fixed, twice a month.

The reason why I assume that behind these different disposable calls is the same person, is because although these disposable phones have different numbers, they are in the same location every time they call and never change. ”

Whether it's a regular phone or a disposable phone, they work by sending signals to the base station and sending signals through the base station to contact others in the distance.

Although the person who contacted Team Leader Owen changed his disposable mobile phone many times, the base station that sent his signal was always the same one, which indicates that the other party never changed the location when he called.

"But it's not certain that the other party is the same person."

Lacey raised her own questions:

"Can't it be that there is a store in that area that sells disposable mobile phones, and those people are just there to call Team Leader Owen after buying the phone......

As she spoke, Lacey's voice grew quieter.

Because she found that the possibility of what she was talking about was lower than what Mona said.

"The analysis makes a lot of sense, don't analyze it in the future."

Roan patted Lacey on the shoulder, looked at Mona, and asked:

"Anything else?"

Mona smiled and said proudly:

"Absolutely!

And I can already answer the fourth question you wrote on the whiteboard. ”

Mona zoomed in on the map on the computer screen and explained:

"I checked the people I had with Team Leader Owen in the area where the base station was located, and I successfully found a middle-aged white man named Pearson.

Pearson is also an FBI who works for the Criminal Justice Information Department in Los Angeles and graduated from the same police academy as Team Leader Irving, and the two are classmates.

Team Leader Owen had called Roan before he called him last night.

Not only that, but when Team Leader Owen drove to the docks, Pearson also drove away from home.

Pearson's drive was a bit detouring, deliberately avoiding a lot of surveillance cameras, but the final direction was the southwest pier in Los Angeles. ”

"Department of Criminal Justice...... It's the same department as Augustus. ”

After listening to the clues found by Mona, Lacey smashed her tongue and analyzed:

"Could it be that Team Leader Owen accidentally handled an unjust, false and wrongful case, and the victim sought revenge on him after he was released from prison?"

Luo An got up and stretched his waist and patted Lacey on the shoulder:

"Lacey, I feel like you should go to Hollywood and be a screenwriter."

"When you are a screenwriter, how can you make money by handling cases under you."

Lacey smiled, she had roughly figured out the structure of Hollywood during this time, the status of editors there was not ordinarily low, a movie box office was tens of millions, and those who could get 500,000 were the best screenwriters in the industry.

With only a few hundred dollars a month, most editors are a problem to survive.

Getting up and leaving her chair, Lacey asked:

"Shall we go to this Pearson next?"

"Of course!"

Roan motioned for Michelle to stay in the office area, continued to rummage through Team Leader Owen's office supplies, and then walked into the equipment room with Lacey:

"Let's go pay a visit to this Mr. Pearson and ask him what he talks about when he talks to Team Leader Owen on the phone every month."
