“Fu-k！”

Hearing Lacey's words, Roan didn't care about continuing to chat with Portant-Byrne, nodded at Portant-Byrne, and immediately walked out of the group director's office with the folder.

In the corridor, Luo An hurried to the elevator with Lacey, asking as he walked

"What's going on?"

"Ten minutes ago, the LAPD went to a house to investigate based on a report and found a body in the room."

The two walked into the elevator together, and Lacey's face was very ugly:

"People are dying or missing every day in this part of Los Angeles, and when the LAPD doesn't see the body, it just thinks it's an ordinary case......"

"But the corpse's tongue is gone, right?"

Stepping out of the elevator, Luo An took Lacey's words and walked quickly to the Special Investigation Team while asking:

"What did the victim's death scene look like? What is the cause of death? ”

Lacey shook her head and followed Roan into the Special Investigations team:

"I don't know, the LAPD didn't say anything, they just urged us to get the traces department to deal with the scene.

But I asked a female LAPD patrolman and I learned from her that several of the patrolmen who saw the scene of the crime threw up. ”

“……”

The corners of Luo An's eyes twitched, and he motioned for Lacey to quickly contact the trace laboratory, then looked at Mona in the office area and asked:

"Mona, how is the investigation of the first three victims?"

"Investigating."

Mona frantically tapped on the computer keyboard and replied without raising her head:

"The first Victim Council Speaker was named Seaman, the second Victim Navy officer, and the third Victim Chaplain, both of whom had different surnames but both had James.

On the surface, the three are not related to each other, but they have one thing in common:

They are all very rich, and they also have some information in private that I can't find for the time being. ”

After contacting the trace testing department, Lacey walked out of the equipment room, heard Mona's words, and said casually:

"Maybe the murderer is a rich man, or maybe these three have done something that hurt the murderer or the murderer's family...... A case of revenge or revenge. ”

"It's possible."

Roan took the equipment that Lacey handed him, put it all on, and said to Mona:

"You continue to look up the contact of the first three victims, wait for Michelle to come back, and let her go to the trace department, and wait for the autopsy report from the priest and the naval officer."

Mona didn't look back, picked up her coffee and drank it all:

“OK。”

————

The SUV sped through the streets of Los Angeles like a black lightning bolt, and after ten minutes, it arrived at the scene of the fourth case.

To Roan's surprise, the scene of the crime was not a high-end neighborhood or a middle-class single-family apartment, but an ordinary building where ordinary people in Los Angeles lived.

The kind of one with four to five families on one floor.

Walking to the fourth floor where the crime scene was located, Luo An's nose moved slightly, and he immediately smelled an indescribable smell of blood and fishy stench, and there was an even stronger smell of vomit at the top of the staircase.

“*#%￥……”

Luo An's face changed, he cursed in a low voice, endured the discomfort and stepped forward, took out the FBI's golden badge, and showed his identity to the two LAPDs at the door.

Then, under the frightened and admiring gazes of the two patrol officers, Roan and Lacey put on professional gloves and shoe covers and slowly walked into the room.

As soon as he entered the door of the room, Luo An keenly noticed that the gap in the door of the house had been treated, and it seemed that the murderer did not want the smell to come out of the room.

Continue to walk forward, there is a bathroom on the left, there is nothing unusual in it, walk through the bathroom, is the living room of the room.

In the living room, there are three crimson sofas arranged in a zigzag pattern, and opposite the sofa is a dusty TV.

Luo An and Lacey slowly walked to the front of the largest sofa in the center, and in the next second, Lacey's pupils constricted, her face changed, she covered her mouth and walked out of the room quickly.

I didn't vomit, but the impact was a bit loud and needed to be slowed down.

I saw a middle-aged white balding man with a white towel stuffed around his head in his mouth, round eyes, and a hideous face sitting on the crimson sofa.

The balding man's neck down to his lower abdomen, the entire front of the man, including the skin on his arms, had disappeared, like a shirt, and was folded flat on the coffee table in front of the victim.

And on the skinless body, many insects are crawling on it.

“……”

Looking at the tragic condition of the victim, Luo An frowned slightly, was silent for a while, and began to carefully check the other conditions in the room.

It didn't take long for several agents from the Trace Examination Division to arrive and ......

Spit down or not, they are professional after all, but their faces are full of shock, after all, this kind of crime scene is rare.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Luo An stretched out his hand and shook the agent from the trace testing department, then pointed to the window of the room and said:

"The cracks in these windows were treated by the murderer, most likely to prevent the smell from escaping from the room.

If you take a closer look, you should be able to find useful clues in this regard. ”

"No problem."

Looking at Luo An, who had nothing on his face and still did not change his face, several detectives from the Trace Laboratory Department with masks had admiration written on their faces.

Leaving the scene of the crime, Lacey in the corridor immediately walked up and briefly introduced the information she had just gotten from her neighbor:

"The victim's name is Butters, he is 39 years old, he has no wife or children, he is an alcoholic, he has brought his stepdaughter home for the night many times, he works in a tannery and is an ordinary worker."

"Doesn't sound like a rich man."

Quietly glancing at the vomit next to the staircase, Luo An took Lacey to the window at the other end, opened the window to take a breath, Luo An asked:

"Is there video surveillance?"

"Nope."

Lacey spread her hands:

"The person in charge of the building said that there was already surveillance, but the residents of the building did everything.

They say that the existence of surveillance is an invasion of their privacy, so there is a bad one in the surveillance, and over time, no one will install the surveillance for free for others to spoil and play. ”

"What a situation in the spirit of federal freedom."

Luo An shook his head speechlessly, took a deep breath of fresh air, didn't smell any sweetness, he patted Lacey on the shoulder, and walked to the stairs:

"Let's go back to the Special Investigation Team first, and wait for the Traces Section to finish its work."

Lacey followed Luo Ann briskly, and up the stairs, she asked in a low voice:

"I heard Mona say that you plan to transfer five people from Bi's department to deal with this case together?

Of those five, how many do you plan to eventually leave on to our Special Investigations Team? ”

"I don't know, it depends."

Luo An replied casually:

"Maybe one, maybe two, maybe three, anyway, our special investigation team is seven people."

Lacey nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly thought of something, smiled, and said:

"If you call five people directly this time, there won't be the murderer of this case inside, right? That's how it works in TV dramas. ”

"If there is really one of the murderers in this case, I will immediately go and buy lottery tickets, and when the time comes, I will give you ten dollars if you win a billion dollars."

Opening the door of the SUV, Luo An thought about it and closed it again, and said to Lacey:

"By the way, you go to the factory where Butters works to find out what's going on, and make sure you find out when Butters started going missing."

"No problem."

Lacey nodded in agreement, and immediately started the SUV and drove forward.

Luo An didn't rush back to the special investigation team, and the four victims were discovered one after another too quickly, and he didn't have a chance to think about it at all.

Luo An planned to take a walk and think carefully about the circumstances of this case.
