On a road outside Greenwich.
Sitting in Ryder's SUV, Luo An looked at the documents in his hand and frowned.
According to the emergency response team's report at the scene where the bodies were found, the three female victims were found dead at the bottom of the lake with heavy objects tied to their legs.
There were no items at the scene related to the identities of the victims, and the identities of the four victims were ultimately determined through searches of local missing persons files.
In addition, the autopsy report showed that all four victims were strangled to death with ropes. There were binding marks on their wrists and ankles, bruises on their upper bodies, and lacerations on their lower bodies. It is suspected that all four victims were tortured by the murderer for a long time.
However, because the body had been soaked in the lake water for too long, the forensic doctor could not find the murderer's white genetic material, nor could he find the murderer's skin fragments, hair, etc., and could not test the murderer's DNA.
"What a headache."
After reading the information, Luo An closed his eyes tightly and rubbed his temples.
The United States is a vast country, and its people are very talented. It is not only rich in various cult organizations, but also rich in serial murderers, bank robbers, flour sellers, ideological extremists and many other high-end talents who compete with the police.
"Thank you, Luo An."
Seeing Luo An sitting in the car with a frown on his face, Ryder hurriedly took out a few bags of still warm hamburgers and fried chicken nuggets from the trunk, handed them to Luo An, and said with a flattering smile:
"If you don't think clearly, just eat something first."
"Still not."
The corner of Luo An's mouth twitched, and he rejected the suggestion to increase the possibility of going bald. After packing up the information, he said to Ryder:
“The hunting time for the murderer of this serial murder case is getting shorter and shorter. If we want to find the real murderer, we must find the connection between the four female victims.
I can't leave here. You should go back to the office immediately and find a technical agent to visit the families of the four victims. Ask them when they last contacted them before they disappeared. At the same time, find out the parents and relatives of the victims. Criminal records of friends, husbands, etc. "
"What?"
Hearing these complicated tasks, Ryder's head got big, and he subconsciously grabbed a hamburger and stuffed it into Luo An's hand:
"Can you give me another job? Or how about letting someone else do this kind of job? Is Mona okay?"
Luo An decisively shook his head and refused:
"No, Mona still wants to help me investigate this disappearance case."
"......All right."
Seeing that Luo An refused to let go, Ryder thought about how August, the leader of the investigation team, had repeatedly stressed that he must obey Luo An's arrangements before he came. He immediately walked back to the car with a frown on his face, preparing to go back to the headquarters to recruit people for investigation.
Back in his SUV, Luo An watched Ryder driving away. Unexpectedly, Ryder, a bear-like man, was actually a bit cute in contrast.
Just as he was thinking about the clues to the serial murder case, the Nokia next to Luo An suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and found that it was Lacey on the other end.
"Roan, Darren is taking action."
"Um?"
Luo An was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Which car is he driving? What is the license plate number?"
"He didn't drive the Cadillac in the garage, he drove the latest BMW** with the license plate number ***"
Lacey's tone on the other end of the phone was very relaxed:
"Don't worry, I'm following the other person. The other person's anti-tracking technology is the same as that of a child in kindergarten. I won't lose him even if I close my eyes."
"..."
Luo An was silent for two seconds and asked in confusion: "My car is on the outskirts of Greenwich. Where did you get the car to follow Darren?"
"Um, I borrowed it from Darren's neighbor's garage."
"You didn't tell the neighbors, right?"
"certainly."
Luo An hung up the phone. Now he finally knew why Lacey said that August was used to take the blame.
"It feels really uncomfortable to have someone on top."
With a smile on his face, Luo An called Mona and told Darren the license plate number of the BMW, asked Mona to locate him, then stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.
Ten minutes later, in a parking lot on a coastline in eastern New York, the SUV driven by Luo An stopped.
Diagonally behind the SUV is the Jaguar that Lacey borrowed from her neighbor in the villa, and diagonally behind the Jaguar is Darren's new BMW.
Listening to the crashing of the waves not far away, and looking at the almost empty parking lot, Luo An said to Lacey on the other end of the phone:
"This is a great place to pay a ransom, and also a great place to drive away if something is not right."
Lacey looked at the restless Darren in the BMW through the rearview mirror and asked on the phone:
"What will we do if the other party runs away?"
"It's okay, I have shock bombs."
Luo An took out a shock bomb from his waist and threw it up and down in his hand, laughing:
"I've always had good accuracy throwing things."
Lacey shuddered when she thought of the scene where the windows of a lot of cars in the parking lot were shattered to the ground after the shock bomb exploded.
Unexpectedly, Luo An was more ruthless than him. If all the car windows in the parking lot were broken, how much would Augustus have to pay?
Didi——
Just when Lacey was about to persuade Luan not to use shock bombs, an ordinary Buick car drove in and slowly parked next to Darren's BMW.
Immediately afterwards, Darren got out of the BMW, opened the passenger seat of the Buick, and sat on it.
"action!"
Luo An shouted, and Lacey drove the Jaguar in reverse gear and blocked the road ahead of the BMW and Buick. Luo An drove the SUV and quickly blocked the back road of the two cars.
The two of them got out of the car and hid behind the car. They took out their pistols and pointed them at the Buick. Luo An shouted:
"FBI! Get the people in the car out! Otherwise I will shoot!"
After two seconds of silence, the co-pilot Darren slowly got out of the car with his hands raised in the air. The driver's door slowly opened, and a very thin-looking white young man stepped out of the car with his hands raised.
Luo An and Lacey slowly approached with pistols raised. After taking out handcuffs and cuffing the two, they did not find the ransom they imagined in the two cars.

Investigation Team No. 5, interrogation room.
The FBI is different from the police departments outside. Whether it is the Homeland Security Division, the Intelligence Division, the Crime-Network Response and Services Division, or even the Science and Technology Division, Information and Technology Processing Division, they all have their own interrogation rooms.
The Criminal Investigation Department under the Crime-Cyber-Correspondence and Services Department is no exception. There are a total of thirteen investigation teams under the Criminal Investigation Department, each of which is equipped with two interrogation rooms.
The interrogation room here is not like the interrogation room in the police station outside. It has an extremely clear law enforcement recorder that cannot be closed during the whole process. The prisoner can not say a word while being handcuffed, and can even ask a lawyer to speak for him.
The FBI's interrogation rooms also have law enforcement recorders, but the law enforcement recorders here are aging and damaged, and they often shut down automatically. Many times, the recorders start to malfunction as soon as the prisoner doesn't answer the detective's questions.
After being caught, some prisoners say that their lawyers are not available and cannot answer questions. Then such prisoners will be found on the spot for tax evasion, shooting of federal agents and other serious illegal and criminal activities, and their right to see a lawyer will be deprived of them on the spot.
Some prisoners even dream of being beaten.
When such a prisoner's lawyer arrives, there will definitely be no injury examination. After all, the technology has become more mature through iterative development.
Want to see the trial transcript? Sorry, the instrument was damaged and I didn’t record it.
Someone asked, is there no one who can control this group of FBI?
Of course there is, but will someone who can manage the FBI be invited to the FBI interrogation room?
Will a criminal who can hire a super lawyer that even the FBI doesn't want to meet still be caught by the FBI?
The most important point is that the time now is 2005, and the messy organizations of later generations have not yet appeared.
