Chapter 370: Promotion to Team Leader, Case Analysis, Clues, Discovery

Wednesday, 9 a.m., Special Investigations Unit Office Area.

The head of the group, Portant Byrne, was very fast, Roan gave him the list yesterday afternoon, and he sent them all to the special investigation team this morning.

At the front of the office area, Luo An briefly introduced the identities of the five men and women in suits and leather shoes to Mona, Lacey and Michelle:

Cooper, 26, from the Department of Homeland Security, wears a standard federal grin and a handsome hairstyle.

Che Annie, 30 years old, from the international business department, looks very lean with a blank face and an open suit.

Winslow, 32, from the hostage rescue team, has a small head, a head taller than Roan, and the muscles on his body are not as exaggerated as Ryder's, but they are also very visually striking.

Patricia, 29, from Victim Services, has a bit of freckles on her face and feels very affectionate.

Anwar, 30 years old, from the anti-terrorism department, also has an inch head, a long scar on his neck, although he is smiling, giving people the first impression that this guy is not easy to mess with.

The five people can be selected by Luo An, and their marksmanship, fighting, tactical judgment and other abilities are not bad, but the only difference is their character, thinking mode and professional judgment.

After briefing the five on Mona, Lacey, and Michelle, Roan finally pulled out the folder that Potant Byrne had given him yesterday.

In the folder is a notice issued by the Washington headquarters, which says that the FBI Los Angeles Branch, the deputy head of the special investigation team, Roanne Greenwood, has officially been promoted to a regular and becomes the head of the special investigation team!

Not only that, but Roan also inquired about Dressenys last night, Team Leader Essen-Patel of the Chicago Division, and two other unlucky guys...... Two lucky people, their investigation team was successfully promoted to take charge of a difficult case in a state.

"Great!"

"I knew it!"

Bang Bang Bang –

Hearing the news of Roan's change, Mona and Lacey immediately cheered, Michelle was full of excitement and applauded, and the five new detectives had different looks, but they all smiled and applauded vigorously.

"Guys, let's not talk nonsense, let's hurry up and deal with the case at hand now."

Luo An didn't waste much time on this matter, waving his hand to signal the five new agents to take their seats, he pulled over the whiteboard, and began to introduce the clues and information he currently had.

"Victim No. 1, Seaman William, 55, Speaker of the Los Angeles City Council, and the death scene was physically turned into two parts.

Victim No. 2, James Hunter, a Navy officer, was 40 years old and died in a scene where the head left the body.

Victim No. 3, James Smith, a 49-year-old church pastor, was beaten to death with a stick.

Victim No. 4, Butters Johnson, a 39-year-old tannery worker, died in the scene of being skinned. ”

After briefly recounting these basic information, Roan turned his gaze to Michelle and asked:

"What do you say from the Trace Examination Department?"

"The autopsies of the four victims have been completed."

Michelle straightened up from his chair, a folder in his hand, and said loudly:

"First of all, let's talk about the similarities: all four victims have pinhole marks on their bodies, and Nicoshami, a substance that stimulates the central nervous system, has been detected in their bodies.

This shows that the killer is indeed the same person, and injected them into the victim's body while the victim was still alive, and only then began to torture the victim.

Then there are the differences: the four victims died at different times.

The autopsy report revealed that the earliest person to die was Butters Johnson, a tannemill worker, who died about 19 days ago.

The second was Navy officer James Hunter, who died about 7 days ago.

The third was the Speaker of the Assembly, Seaman William, who died around the morning before yesterday.

The fourth was church pastor James Smith, who died around the early hours of yesterday morning. ”

"Good, great work."

Nodding and motioning for Michelle to sit down, seeing the five new agents, except for Che Annie in an open suit, the other four were all bowing their heads and taking notes carefully, Luo An blinked and turned his gaze to Mona:

"What clues did you find here?"

"Economically, there's no clue."

Mona didn't get up, she sat in her chair, looked at the computer in front of her, and said:

"The Speaker of the Parliament, the Navy Officer, and the Chaplain have a lot of savings on the surface, and they all have some money in private.

The source of the money has been identified for the most part, and there is no direct connection.

As for surveillance, I'm sorry, but the killer used physical means to destroy the camera, not cyber means, and I couldn't find any useful clues. ”

"No, that's a useful clue."

Luo An rubbed his chin and analyzed:

"There are a lot of surveillance cameras in those three communities, and some of them are very hidden.

Since the other party used physical means to destroy them, on the one hand, it means that the other party has either carefully observed the area, or the other party has a record of the installation and distribution of those surveillance cameras. ”

"And the trace examination department also judged that the four victims took the initiative to open the door to the murderer."

Hearing Ann's words, Mona and Michelle frowned and pondered, while Lacey raised her hand and said loudly:

"This shows that the murderer definitely has an identity that is easy for people to let down their guard, or that the murderer pretends to be this identity and lets others open the door for him!"

"You're absolutely right."

Luo An very much agreed with Lacey's idea, and then asked:

"Lacey, did you find any clues yesterday?"

"Of course!"

Lacey smiled, pulled out a record of inquiry from her desk, and said:

"I learned from a colleague of tannemill worker Butters Johnson that Butters lost his male capacity due to an accident.

However, I had heard from Butters' neighbors that Butters often brought his stepdaughter home on the street, and the two clues were clearly in conflict.

I went to the streets to find the stepdaughters, and learned from one of them that they did not use normal means to serve Butters, but used other objects to whip and torture him at Butters' request. ”

“……”xN

Lacey's voice fell, the air in the office area was quiet for a few seconds, and Luo An's face remained unchanged:

"What do you mean?"

"Butters, the tannery worker, has no male abilities, the church pastor has been alone for years, the naval officer has no girlfriend, and the female friend of the Speaker of the House of Representatives you have seen, but they have never had a relationship with each other, and it is called platonic love."

Lacey shrugged and threw the interrogation record back on the table:

"Don't you think that's a coincidence?"

Everyone in the office area understood the meaning of Lacey's words, and Michelle frowned:

"You mean, all four victims have problems with their sexual orientation?"

"Not necessarily."

Lacey shook her head and said:

"They don't all have that orientation, but it's possible that they've all been to a fixed place where the gay sex community goes."

"Take note of this clue and go back and investigate."

Roan motioned for Michelle to record Lacey's thoughts, and then asked:

"Any other clues?"

Mona, Lacey, and Michelle shook their heads, and Roan turned his gaze to the four new agents:

"What do you guys think about this case?"

Cheanne, who was in an open suit from the international business department, immediately raised her hand when she heard this, attracting all the attention of everyone in the office area.
