Chapter 368: Discussion, Clues and Speculation in the Director's Office
As soon as he ran to the road outside the apartment, Luo An smelled a vague smell of blood.
While his face sank, considering that the impact of the death scenes of the first two victims was a bit strong, he motioned to Michelle:
"You go to the back door of the apartment to defend, and if you find the enemy, shoot directly."
“OK。”
Michelle didn't think so much, and immediately ran to the back door of the apartment with a pistol when she heard Roan's order.
Seeing Michelle arrive at the designated location, Luo An immediately turned on the "emotional perception" in his mind, and found that there was no reaction in the apartment in front of him, and there was no sense of danger coming from him.
Slightly relieved, Luo An slowly walked into the apartment, and there was nothing unusual about the living room and kitchen on the first floor.
Carrying a pistol and slowly walking up to the second floor with the smell of blood, there was no abnormality in the bedroom, and slowly pushed open the door of the study, and Luo An finally saw the victim.
At this time, the study room was in a mess, with books, computer fragments, etc. everywhere.
The victim, like Speaker He-Man, was defenseless, with a white towel wrapped around the back of his head in his mouth, and a hideous complexion.
The difference is that this time the victim did not become two parts from the physical level, the whole person is still a whole, but the whole body is covered with bruises and swelling, and there are many marks of being smashed on the head.
The experienced Roan could see at a glance that the priest had been beaten to death by the murderer with a stick-like object.
It is not known exactly what kind of stick it was, and no murder weapon was found at the scene.
Roan put on the gloves he had taken out of his pocket and forcefully broke the victim's mouth.
Sure enough, the tongue inside disappeared again.
"No enemy found."
Soon, Michelle also walked up, and when she saw the miserable situation in the study, her face was very ugly.
It's not that I'm scared by the appearance of corpses, Michelle, as an FBI, has seen a lot of corpses before.
The reason why the face is ugly is because it can now be determined that this case is a very difficult serial murder case.
After carefully examining the study for a long time and finding no useful clues, Roan waved his hand towards Michelle:
"Call the Traces Section."
“OK。”
Michelle took out his phone from his pocket, and when he saw Roan starting to walk out, Jinang asked:
"What do we do next?"
"You're like Lacey, guarding the scene with the LAPD, waiting for the Traces Section agents to arrive."
Without looking back, Roan walked out of the pastor's apartment, and said as he went:
"I'm going to talk to the group leader and see what he thinks about the case."
————
"Serial Murder ??!!"
In the office of the group director, hearing Roan's words, Portant-Byrne's eyes widened suddenly:
"Are you sure?"
Roan didn't go any further, but put the photographs taken by the Trace Division at the three crime scenes, especially the ones where the tongues of the bodies were missing, on Potante-Byrne's desk.
“……”
Seeing the horrific picture on the table, Potant-Byrne raised his hand and rubbed his temples, feeling himself a headache.
"I need help, sir."
Seeing the expression on Potant-Byrne's face, Roan didn't talk nonsense and said directly:
"There is a high probability that the murderer in this case is not a single person, it is not a group of people, and our special investigation team is understaffed and needs help urgently."
"What do you want to do?"
Portant-Byrne was speechless about Roan's statement that he didn't have enough men.
After Luo An solved the bank robbery, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to join the special investigation team, and many people came to him about it.
Portant-Byrne also asked Roan what he thought, but Roan never saw it, which made Portant-Byrne very helpless.
Luo An didn't sell it, he took out a folder directly from behind him, handed it to Portant Byrne, and said with a smile:
"Here is a list of five people in it, please ask the chief to help and temporarily transfer them to the special investigation team to work with us on this case."
Cooper, 26, is an agent in a department of the Department of Homeland Security.
Annie Che, 30, is an international business agent.
Winslow, 32, is a hostage rescue team agent.
Patricia, 29, is an agent in the Department of Victim Services.
Anwar, 30, is an agent in the counter-terrorism department. ”
Opening the folder, the group leader Portant-Byrne briefly looked at the list of five people and the information, there was no problem, then nodded in agreement, and then he thought of something and asked:
"I remember you had a good relationship with the SWAT squad guy named Hunter Anderson, why isn't he on this list?"
The meaning behind Roan's handing over this list was not concealed at all, and Portant-Byrne could see at a glance that Roan planned to take advantage of this case and select a few of the five people to join the special investigation team.
Although it is not known how many Roan intends to leave from the last of these five people, the absence of Hunter Anderson's name on the list still piqued the interest of Portant Byrne.
"He's not suitable."
Roan shook his head, stating that he had a drink with Hunter Anderson some time ago, and that the other party was now a captain on the SWAT squad due to his excellent performance.
Because of the death of his cousin, the death of his aunt due to grief, and the loss of relatives, girlfriend, and care, Hunter Anderson, now has an increasingly aggressive style of action.
While drinking some time ago, Ann talked about the Special Investigations Unit, and Hunter Anderson rejected Ann's solicitation.
Hunter said he now enjoys life in SWAT Squad, and that fighting to save people and gunfire has given him meaning in life.
Speaking of Hunter Anderson, Roan frowned:
"There is obviously something wrong with his current psychological condition, and I helped him find a psychiatrist, but the special investigation team is no longer suitable for him."
What Luo An needs now is a brave and resourceful player who takes the overall situation into account, not a berserker who is more desperate than him.
Maybe Hunter Anderson can adjust his mentality and emotions later, but Roan, as the head of the special investigation team, can't leave time to wait for him.
“OK。”
After listening to Roan's description, Portant-Byrne frowned slightly, ready to go back and talk to the head of the SWAT squad about the psychological condition of the first team.
Putting the matter aside, Potant-Byrne crossed his hands on the table and asked solemnly:
"Luo An, you just said that the murderers of this serial murder case may be a group of people, do you have any basis?"
"If the murderer is a man, then he is too versatile."
Luo Ann picked up the photographs from the Trace Laboratory again and explained:
"There are a lot of things that the murderer has to do, such as surveillance video, the living habits of the three victims, personal information, the flow of people in the three communities, and the preparation of murder weapons......"
said a lot of things that the murderer needs to do, under so many conditions, the time interval is still so short, and the murderer's methods are not only cruel and violent, but also have not left the slightest useful clue...... Luo An shook his head again and again, killing and abusing are not the same thing at all, the former is easy and simple, and the latter is complicated and troublesome.
"OK, I'll leave this case to you."
Potante Byrne also stopped talking nonsense, and after confirming the help that Luo An needed again, he took out another folder and handed it to Luo An, and said with a smile:
"This is a notice from the headquarters in Washington."
"Oh?"
Seeing the smile on Portant-Byrne's face, Roan raised his eyebrows, and had a little guess in his heart.
Just as he was about to open the folder, there was a sudden knock on the door of the team director's office, and before Potante Byrne could speak, the door was slammed open.
When Roan and Portant-Byrne looked at it, they found that it was Lacey, and they didn't give them a chance to ask questions, and Lacey said with a shocked face:
"I'm sorry sir, but there's a new body found outside."
“??!!”
