Las Vegas, an office on the top of a building.

Luo An put down the coffee cup, leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Rexa, and asked his own question.

Rekesha's expression remained unchanged, she raised her head, stared at Luo An's eyes without showing weakness, and said word by word:

"I don't know."

Rexa said that the basement where she was locked was located in the innermost room of the basement of the duplex villa.

When she first started to be imprisoned, Rexa used the techniques she had learned in the years of social deception and escaped a few times by breaking the locks.

After being caught back by the security personnel, the locks were successfully updated with the new iteration, and there were several more layers of doors in the basement.

The person who took the key to deliver her food every day wanted to come in, and it took more than ten minutes to enter layer by layer.

She didn't know what happened on the night of the crime, only that no one brought her food the next morning.

If it weren't for the two patrolmen who learned about Rexa's situation and tossed for a long time to find the key to find her in the basement, Rexa felt that she would probably be locked up alive in the basement.

After listening to Rexa's narration, Luo An was noncommittal, and then asked:

"Did you find anything wrong with the meal that night?"

“No。”

Rexa shook her head, left her seat and brought herself a cup of coffee, took a sip and said:

"My father thought that food that was too good would make me feel like I would continue to rebel, so he replaced my three meals a day with the most ordinary jams, slices of bread and milk, and occasionally some bacon or vegetable salad.

These are all delivered to the basement every morning, and I need to count every bite carefully, otherwise there will be nothing to eat at night. ”

“……”

Michelle, who had been holding a pen next to her to record her words, her eyelids jumped when she heard this, and the corners of Ann's mouth trembled, the father and daughter of Rexa O'Dell and Prannay O'Dell are really not ordinary people.

“OK。”

Putting aside the mess in his mind, Luo An picked up the folder on his desk and looked at it casually, and then asked:

"So, have the Odell family provoked anyone lately?

Or rather, who have a deep grudge against the Odell family? ”

If Rexa also died that night, the O'Dell family would have been completely wiped out, which is not ordinary hatred, nor is it something ordinary people can do.

Rexa snorted coldly, walked to the desk and opened the cabinet underneath, took out a metal box and handed it to Luo An, and said:

"Here are some of the things my father recorded that I found after I had someone cut open the safe in my father's bedroom and study.

In addition, there is a document I have put together in this box, which contains a list of companies or families that have had friction with the Odell family in the past ten years, whether financially or otherwise.

I think they might be able to help Team Leader Roan. ”

"Hopefully."

Roan took the metal box and chatted briefly with Rexa, and after getting no useful clues, he left the building with Michelle.

The brand-new Dodge car was driving slowly on the streets of Las Vegas, and Michelle sat in the passenger seat and carefully checked the diary in the metal box, Roan yawned and asked lightly:

"Did you find anything?"

"Aside from a few emotional stories and invective against competitors, I didn't find any useful clues."

Michelle shook his head, saying that Pranne-Odell was a lover when he was young and very good at playing, and he gradually calmed down after the death of his first wife.

Luo An was a little speechless, the lace news was indeed interesting, but he was not interested now, and was just about to continue talking, Michelle suddenly frowned and said:

"Wait a minute, there's something wrong with this page."

"What?"

"Look here, these marks."

Turning the diary to a page full of words, turning this page, Michelle held up the back of this page and signaled to Roan, and said with a solemn expression:

"The imprint on the back of this page does not correspond to the previous text, and there are traces of smearing, alteration, and overlay.

In my experience, Prannay-O'Dell must have written something, then smeared it out, and then wrote these words on it. ”

Luo An briefly glanced at the diary, he didn't know much about this aspect, so he asked directly:

"Michelle, can you figure out what the original text was written by Prannay O'Dele?"

Michelle nodded:

"I try my best, but I need a little time."

"Wait until you get back to the hotel, and you'll have your own time."

Professional things are handled by professional people, and Luo An is relieved to hand over the diary to Michelle, and at this moment, Luo An's mobile phone suddenly rings.

"It's me, Lacey."

Lacey on the other end of the phone said solemnly:

"Ann, Mona is checking the surveillance records and hasn't found any clues for the time being.

But the autopsy reports of the victims, we have already got them. ”

The autopsy report showed that there were 26 deceased people in the re-examination villa.

It contains four members of the Audell family: Pranne-Odell, the wife of Pranne-Odell, and the two daughters-in-law of Pranne-Odell.

There were six temporary guests, three men and three women, three of whom were well-known wealthy people in Las Vegas, and two women, who were the female companions of two of the men.

The last remaining woman, who was older, had been a friend of Prannay Odell for many years, and was temporarily living in the duplex villa because she was unwell.

In addition to this, there are two drivers, two cooks, nine maids, a nanny, and two security guards.

Luo An's expression remained unchanged and asked:

"What was the cause of their death?"

"Poisoning."

Racy on the other end of the phone looked at the autopsy report in her hand and said in a deep voice:

"The autopsy results showed that two substances, trioxide and estazolam, were found in the bodies of all 25 victims."

"Estezolam? Trioxide? ”

Luo An was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the trioxide kun that Lacey said had another name in the far east: arsenic.

As for estazolam, Lacey explained that it is mainly a sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, and is clinically used for the short-term treatment of various types of insomnia.

Luo An's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said:

"So, the murderer put these two drugs in the food of everyone in the villa that night, and then made everyone feel sleepy and went to bed, and then lost his life in his sleep, right?"

"That's the case with most of the victims."

Lacey nodded, and then said that many of them woke up from their sleep due to the severe toxicity and pain, and they wanted to call for help, but for some reason they couldn't contact the outside world, and finally took the phone to death.

Therefore, when the trace laboratory department arrived at the scene, it saw several people lying next to the phone with hideous expressions, and several people lying on the ground clutching their mobile phones when they died.

As soon as Lacey's voice fell, Mona next to her stopped what she was doing, pointed to the computer and said:

"According to the report of the trace examination department, the telephone line from the villa to the outside world was cut off in the villa.

In addition, I found that from the third hour after the end of the drinking party on the night of the incident, to half past two in the morning of the next day, the patrol officers patrolling that area reported that the signal was missing for a short time.

Therefore, during the time period of the crime, I am afraid that someone in that area used some means to deliberately block the signal there. ”

"It seems that this is an organized and planned crime."

Luo Ann rubbed his temples, parked the car in the hotel parking lot, and he called Chenelle:

"Did you find anything here?"
