"Get in the car first."

Luo An waved his hand to signal Mona to quickly get into the passenger seat, and the SUV drove out of the parking lot quickly, heading to the location mentioned by Morton York, and after overtaking several passers-by cars, Luo An asked:

"What's going on?"

"Do you know the twelve disciples of Christianity?"

In the co-pilot, Mona waved her hands and explained:

"The twelve followers of Jesus as recorded in the Bible."

Roan didn't know much about Christianity, but he knew one thing:

"The people in the painting of the Last Supper, right? Inside was a traitor named Judas. ”

"That's right, it's them."

Mona nodded, and said in a heavy tone:

"According to your guess, I just briefly checked the cult archives that exist in the Federation, and most of the cult teachings have not found anything related to this case.

But in a religion from Europe called "Devil Worship", there is a part of it that teaches the congregation how to transform the soul into the devil and gain eternal life after death.

One of the main demands was to kill the twelve disciples of Jesus with their own hands and drink their blood. ”

Luo An frowned slightly, not because he was frightened by the content of the "Devil Worship Sect", but because he really couldn't understand what was wrong with the brains of people who believed in this religion.

However, there were still questions that had not been clarified, and Roan then asked:

"What is the connection between the twelve disciples you are talking about and the five victims now?"

"The profession and the name are the same."

Taking a deep breath, Mona opened her laptop and explained:

A Zeawild disciple named "Simeon", who is recorded as being sawn in half, corresponds to the name of Speaker Heman and his occupation.

The two disciples, whose names are translated as James, were killed and beheaded, respectively, with names and occupations corresponding to church pastors and naval officers, respectively.

A disciple named Matthew, who was a tax officer, was hacked to death with a knife, corresponding to the victim Matthew who we just found working in the tax department. ”

After listening to Mona's introduction, the corners of Luo An's mouth twitched, are the causes of death of Jesus' twelve disciples so tragic? He then asked:

"Where's Butters, the tannery? Which disciple did he correspond to? ”

"A disciple named Bartholomew."

Mona pulled down the computer screen, frowning:

"Bartholomew's name is Barth, and he was stripped of his skin when he was martyred."

Luo An sighed helplessly, the names of these twelve disciples were not in English in the first place, and the translation into English was not the same as the original, and he didn't understand the content of Christianity, and the logic of the murderer's behavior was not thought of for a while.

Mona is also very helpless, they are not religious, the whole federation is mainly Protestant, and they have been exposed to Protestantism since childhood.

The content of Protestantism emphasizes personal and church involvement, focuses on praise, teaching, and prayer, and has a direct connection with God, and has little to do with Jesus and the Twelve Apostles, which is basically only available in church schools.

Catholicism in Europe emphasizes rituals, sacraments, Masses and communion, and re-contact with God through the church and Jesus, so the vast majority of the federal people do not know about the names, translations, and professional experiences of the Twelve Saints.

Just like the "seventy-two sages" in the East, most people know three or four at most, except for students and experts in this area, the vast majority of ordinary people who know what the names, occupations and skills of the remaining "sages" are.

Seeing that there was still some distance from the new crime scene, Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Morton York, the leader of the No. 4 investigation team, and asked directly:

"Team Leader Morton, have you checked the victim's name and occupation and other information?"

"Of course."

At the scene of the crime, Morton York beckoned to one of his agents, took the message from the other party and replied:

"The victim's name is Thomas, 44 years old, he works for a construction company and is an architect.

The victim died in the bathtub of the house, not only was his tongue missing, but his right hand was also cut off and missing, presumably taken away by the murderer. ”

"The right hand was cut off?"

Luo An's eyebrows moved, tilted his head to look at Mona, and Mona on the co-pilot pulled down the computer screen, and after a few seconds, said in a low voice:

Indeed, one of the twelve disciples, whose name is Thomas, does not believe in Jesus' resurrection until he sees and touches the wounds on Jesus' body with his own eyes.

The killer cut off the victim's right hand, most likely because of this story. ”

Roan was silent for a few seconds, then asked Morton York a few questions on his phone.

Morton York answered one by one, and finally asked:

"How long will it take you to get here?"

Roan twisted the steering wheel hard at the intersection and drove the SUV directly back in the direction of the FBI Los Angeles branch building:

"I'm not going."

Morton-York: ???

Luo An smiled, anyway, Morton York was the scene of the crime with the detectives of the trace laboratory before.

The on-site inspection work was carried out by the agents of the Trace Examination Section, and Roan and Mona went there only to check the scene.

Originally, he went to the scene of the crime, and Luo An hoped to find out the identity of the murderer and the reason for the crime through the clues left by the murderer at the scene.

Now that the cause of the murderer's crime has been known and determined, and the identity of the murderer can be tried to find through the investigation of the scene by the trace examination department, there is no need for him and Mona to go to the scene.

"Thank you, Captain Morton."

On the phone, Roan thanked Morton York, the leader of Investigation No. 4, with a smile on his face, and finally said:

"When you return to the FBI Los Angeles branch building, I will send someone to your office to hand over this case, thank you."

Bang Bang –

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Morton-York's face darkened, he originally planned to tease Luo An on the spot, but he didn't expect Luo An to simply not come.

After a few seconds of silence, the corners of Morton-York's mouth lifted into a smile, he was not angry at this little thing, but he now felt more and more interesting about Roan.

"Became the head of the Special Investigation Team at such a young age......"

Putting away his phone, Morton York beckoned to one of his agents and said:

"Handle the scene well, go back to the special investigation team to receive the case, and remember to give them everything about the case."

Morton Yorke now has no idea of stumbling on Roan, and cooperation is in the best interest of both parties, and he is not shy about showing his kindness first.

On the other side, after hanging up on Morton-York's side, Roan immediately called the rest of the special investigation team.

The first was to ask them what was the current state of their investigation, and the second was to order them to return to the Special Investigation Team.

Mona's findings were mixed: the good thing was that they had finally figured out the logic of the killer in this case, and depending on the name and occupation, the special investigation team might be able to find other potential victims.

The downside is that there are twelve disciples of Jesus recorded in the Bible, and now six have died, leaving six left.

Whether there were dead among these six people, and how many dead, is a big question.

After receiving a call from Roan, the agents quickly returned to the Special Investigations team, with Lacey and Winslow being the first to return, followed by Michelle, Anwar and Patricia.

Then half an hour passed, Che Annie and Cooper had not returned, and the phone calls had changed from the previous seconds to no answers, and the faces of Luo An and the agents all sank.
