Chapter 604: Suspect, Fishing Law Enforcement
"Found it?"
Hearing the words spoken by Ann, Winslow and Chenelle in the office were very surprised, Lacey was a little surprised, Mona quickly wiped her hands and moved to her computer, and asked:
"Which guy is it? Why didn't I find out? ”
Luo An pointed to a white man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, no hair but also very handsome, and said:
"The first row, the guy in the middle."
Winslow, Chenelle, and Lacey also quickly stopped eating and quickly came over.
Mona investigates information about white men and introduces:
"Edern-Crane, 54, a partner in a real estate company, has a doctorate in finance, is in excellent financial condition, his wife is Aubrey Crane, and the two have two daughters......"
After Mona's introduction, Lacey looked at his behavior at the time of the murder video, looked puzzled, and asked:
"Luo An, why do you suspect that the murderer is him?
When Ardern Crane and Toby Henderson shot the murder video, it coincided with the last few videos of 2003, three years earlier.
The car's driving record shows that Ardern Crane did not go to the beach that night. ”
"No, you've forgotten one thing."
Luo An shook his head and said:
"Remember the profile given by the Behavior Analysis Department before?
First, white males, aged around 40-55 years.
Second, the suspect is married or has a girlfriend and is highly educated.
Thirdly, the economy is in good condition, and there is a second means of transportation in addition to the one used to get to work on weekdays.
Fourth, the psychological or emotional state, which has been repressed for a long time. ”
Chenelle was instantaneous, and Mona also remembered this incident, and with a few taps of the keyboard, she investigated the situation of Ardern Crane's car:
In addition to Edern-Crane having a car himself, his wife also has a car, and his two daughters also have one each.
The video of the murder took place at the time when Ardern Crane's wife was on a business trip, and he could have driven his wife's car. ”
"But records show that both of Ardern Crane's daughters were at home that night."
Lacey still has some questions:
"The wife is not at home, and this guy Edern-Crane left his two daughters at home, went out to find the senior daughter himself, and then killed someone?"
"That's a big reason why I doubt Edern-Crane."
Luo An sneered, took the photos and information of the victims of the first serial murder case from Chenelle's table on the side, handed them to Lacey, and said:
"Pay attention to the age of these victims."
"Eli, female, 20 years old.
Cleo, female, 19 years old.
Charles, male, 21 years old.
Selina, female, 20 years old.
Kate, female, 22 years old.
Sophia, female, 22 years old......"
There were a total of 12 victims, and Lacey only read a part of it briefly, and Winslow next to him noticed one thing, and his eyes widened instantly:
"These women are all in their 20s, but they actually look a little younger than their real age.
And a little younger than 20 years old......"
Chenelle, who was next to her, turned cold and took Winslow's words:
"Just around the same age as Edern-Crane's two daughters."
"That's right."
Luo An nodded, pointed to the profile again and said:
"If we look away from the video of the killings and look at the time of death of the 12 victims, we can find one thing:
Every time a new victim dies, Ardern Crane's wife is away from home for business trips or other reasons.
There are only Ardern Crane in the family, and Ardern Crane's two daughters.
The fourth article of the profile shows that the murderer's psychological or emotional state has been suppressed for a long time.
The word "long-term repression" is interesting, isn't it? ”
After listening to Luo An's words, Lacey gasped:
"You mean, Edern-Crane ...... this guy to his own daughter"
"This is the Federation, and this is normal."
Roan patted Racy on the shoulder, the global human trafficking profit is about $150 billion a year, and the federal is one of the largest human trafficking destinations and the largest consumer of child pornography.
Looking at the photo of the Edern-Crane family of four on the computer, Roan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said:
Whether Ardern Crane ever did anything to his daughter is unclear.
But I speculate that he probably didn't, and reason and lust have been tormenting him.
That's why Edern Crane chose to drive to the streets when his wife left, looking for a replacement who resembled his daughter.
When this was done, ethical guilt came back to his heart, and Edern-Crane killed the women. ”
The well-known Luo * Island incident in later generations fully illustrates the dog-like and sanctimonious appearance of the upper class of the Federation.
"Guys, there's one more thing."
When the office area was quiet, Mona suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
With a few keystrokes, Mona investigates a consumption record, as well as a list of deaths:
On one of their birthdays, Ardern Crane had bought them a doll of the same type of hair that the Trace Laboratory had found on the victim's body.
In addition, Ardern Crane had three dogs in his family, one of which was a Labrador, the same breed of dog as the one found by the Trace Identification Department.
The dog died of normal old age a year ago and was buried in the backyard of Ardern Crane's house. ”
"Wow, what a coincidence."
Chenelle sneered, Winslow clenched his hands into fists, and Lacey didn't bother to continue talking nonsense, looked directly at Luo An, and asked:
"When are we going to arrest someone?"
Looking at the information in the computer, Luo Anchen pondered for a few seconds, and slowly shook his head:
"I can't catch it for the time being."
Lacey's eyes widened, and Luo An explained lightly:
"We don't have enough evidence."
Ardern Crane is financially well-off and has plenty of money to be able to defend himself by hiring some of the best lawyers in New York City.
The only physical evidence in the hands of Investigation Team 13 is dog hair, the hair of a doll's toy, and the driving record of Aubrey Crane's wife's car.
But none of this is the key evidence, and some of the lawyers have rebuttal methods, such as the fact that the dog hair is a coincidence, and that Aubrey Crane sees a lot of people every day, and it is impossible to say which one of them will stick a few dog hairs from him.
This doll is not uncommon, and the hair does not prove anything.
"This ......"
After listening to Ann's analysis, Winslow, Chenelle, and Lacey immediately reacted, and then frowned, Mona's face was ugly, and after a few seconds of silence, she asked tentatively:
"Shall we fish?"
Winslow's eyes lit up, and they understood what Mona meant by "fishing".
For example, if the "performance" of a certain local police station is not up to standard in a certain month, sometimes some beautiful female police officers will be dispatched to walk and hook hands on the street in very fancy dress.
When they met the driver who came to ask for the price, the police officers who were in ambush around him immediately rushed up and arrested him.
Even playing bigger, a certain local police officer in the federal territory actually opened a first-level courtyard by himself and successfully ensnared more than 100 drifters......
In the East, phishing law enforcement is illegal and unregulated.
But in the federal government, fishing law enforcement is not only legal, but also quite common, and has always been regarded by the police as a sharp weapon in their hands.
Hearing Mona's proposal, Lacey suddenly came to her senses, and quickly worked out a plan, introducing:
"We can find a way to get Edern-Crane's wife away from home on a business trip, and Ardern Crane is home alone and has a good chance of committing another crime.
We just need to find a beautiful and "childish" female detective and ambush him in advance in his path to attract him.
After Ardern Crane pulled the agent into the car, we followed him all the way, and when he was ready to kill, we swarmed up......"
“No。”
Before Lacey finished speaking, Luo An interrupted her with a serious face:
"We can't gamble with the lives of female agents, it's easy to have accidents, this method won't work."
"But ......"
Lacey wanted to say something, but finally slowly stopped her voice under Luo An's stern eyes.
Mona looked at Roan:
"So what do we do next?"
Luo An pondered for a few seconds and asked:
"Do you remember the victims' phones?"
