Chapter 466: Discovery of the crime scene, direction of investigation, clues

Taking the box from the Traces Detective, Roan found a half-burned diary, a dusty handheld video recorder, a computer hard drive linked to home surveillance, and a few other miscellaneous items.

"Good, great work."

Luo An nodded, patted the detective of the trace laboratory on the shoulder, and then pointed to Lacey not far away, and motioned for the agent to hand over some of the contents to her, and leave the rest to the trace laboratory as usual.

Half an hour passed, the bodies of the two victims were cleaned and taken away, and nothing else was found at the scene, so Luo An and the others drove away.

During the previous assignment, Roan led Winslow and Lacey to Lyndon's house, planning to ask Lyndon for information.

Chenierle, Mona, and Michelle were sent by Roan to the scene of the death of Paul, a 16-year-old boy.

Unlike the three Roans who suffered a sudden explosion, the investigation of the three Cheniele trio went smoothly, and they returned to the special investigation team after completing the investigation before Roan and the others.

Knowing about the explosion, Mona, who had been waiting for a long time, was slightly relieved to see that Luo An's clothes were just a little dirty and there was a lot of dust on them, but their bodies were not harmed.

Handing over the electronic items found at the explosion site to Mona, Luo An entered the team leader's office, simply changed into a new coat, and then walked to the whiteboard at the front of the office area with a pen, looked at Chenelle, and asked:

"How's your investigation going?"

Chenille stood up and replied with a frown:

"At the scene of Paul's death, we found a lot."

The scene of Paul's death was at a tire factory in northwest Los Angeles that had been abandoned for a long time.

According to the Traces Section, Paul had been hit with a heavy object in the back of his head, and the tool was found, which was a bloody hammer in the corner of the crime scene.

Paul also had a needle hole in his right arm, and when the trace laboratory performed an autopsy, it was found that the other person had been anesthetized before his death.

At the same time, there are obvious signs of struggle in the position where the other party's feet are tied, indicating that Paul was still conscious at that time.

Hearing this, Lacey frowned and asked:

"You mean that Paul was still conscious when he was disemboweled?"

Chenelle nodded solemnly:

"It's very likely."

"Son of eats."

"Damn it."

When Winslow and Lacey heard this, they all scolded with ugly faces.

Luo An's expression remained unchanged, and then asked:

"Anything else?"

"Not at the moment."

Chenelle shook her head, the murderer was very careful, no footprints or fingerprints were found at the scene of the crime, and there was no surveillance in the surrounding area.

The informant of this case was a homeless man who continued to scavenge in the area, and the other party was startled by the upside-down hanging body, but no other suspicious people were found, and no suspicious vehicles were found.

As for Paul, he went out with a few friends the day before yesterday and suddenly disappeared on the way home at night, and those friends had no clues, and Lyndon and his wife immediately called the police and also contacted the FBI.

But there was no surveillance at the location of Paul's disappearance, and there were no witnesses nearby, so neither the FBI nor the LAPD found anything.

It wasn't until yesterday that they received a call from the homeless man that they found the missing Paul.

“OK。”

Roan turned around and pasted a photo of Lyndon, Lyndon's wife, son Paul, and the three to the top of the whiteboard, and then wrote down the cause of their deaths, "bomb" and "disembowelment" below the three people.

After writing, Luo An threw the whiteboard marker aside and said sternly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the murderer behind this case is obviously from the former team leader, the Lyndon Osborne.

There are two main directions of our next investigation:

First, investigate the cases that Lyndon Osborne has handled during his years in the FBI, and investigate suspects who have a deep grudge against Lyndon and are very likely to attack him.

Especially the kind of people who have been released from prison in the past year, or who have suffered major changes in the other party themselves in the past year.

Second, agents from the Anti-IED Unit told me that the bomb had exploded in Paul's room.

It is impossible for Lyndon and his wife to run to their son's room with the bomb, so there are only two possibilities, one is that the bomb was secretly hidden in Paul's room by the murderer, and the other is that the bomb was taken back by Paul himself without his knowledge.

So let's carefully investigate the surveillance before the explosion of that villa, and at the same time check Paul's experience before his death, who he had conflicts with at school, who he came into contact with, and who he came into contact with on the Internet. ”

"Understood!"

Luo An's analysis was simple and direct, and the agents didn't find any problems, so they all nodded and agreed.

Roan first left the Special Investigations Unit and went to the office of the team director, Portant Byrne, to explain the situation to him and ask for access to all the cases that Lyndon Osborne had handled during his lifetime.

Portant-Byrne agreed without hesitation, and Roan returned to the Special Investigations team with authority and let Michelle log into the FBI's internal network to begin checking leads.

Winslow, Chenelle, and Lacey went to Paul's school, Linden's neighbors, and other places to conduct offline investigations.

Luo An began to look through the diary found by the Traces Laboratory at the scene of the crime.

But unfortunately, Lyndon is a serious man, this diary is not his, but his wife's, and there are no other useful clues in it except for some complaining words.

Half-groaning, Roan turned his gaze to Mona, who had previously given her all the computers he had found at the crime scene and the electronic devices that the Trace Investigation Department had found at the crime scene.

"I did find some clues here, but they seem a little complicated."

Mona rubbed her sour eyes, pointed to the computer on the table and said:

"The computer found by the Traces Section, linked to home surveillance, recorded what happened before the explosion."

There was no sound on the surveillance, and the footage showed that Linden's wife had been sitting on the couch crying for some time before the explosion, and Linden's face was full of anger, but he still hugged his wife and continued to comfort her.

Suddenly, as if they had heard something, they looked up at the stairs in unison, and after a few words, Lyndon and his wife walked up the stairs to the second floor and into the room of their son Paul.

The scene in the room could not be seen because of the monitoring angle, and three seconds later, the explosion occurred, and the surveillance instantly went black.

After watching the surveillance, Luo An frowned slightly, and without waiting for him to speak, Mona continued:

"This surveillance is automatically covered every seven days, and during these seven days, the surveillance has not found anyone sneaking into the villa.

In addition, the handheld video recorder was useless, it was only recorded by the Lyndon family, a few birthday party videos and other daily videos.

But the laptop you found, I did find something interesting in it. ”

Mona tapped her fingers on the keyboard, and soon a long list appeared on her computer screen.

Mona pointed to the list and explained:

The laptop she found belonged to Lyndon, and the list was created two hours after the couple received the news of Paul's murder.

I looked up the "Miller-Merman" at the top of the list, who was a notorious solo dealer, and among the names behind it, there were assassination killers, intelligence traffickers, serial murderers, bomb makers...... None of them are ordinary people. ”

The name of a group of "talents". ”

Luo An raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly said:

"Therefore, this list is most likely the one that Lyndon himself recalled and investigated before his death, those who hated him to the bone and might have done something to his son Paul."

"That's right."

Mona nodded, picked up the coffee and took a sip, Luo An's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he looked at the names of these talents and thought, Michelle, who was not far away, suddenly raised his hand and said hesitantly:

"Ann, I'm here...... It seems that I have found a clue, uh, or a problem. ”
