"Fu-k!"
Augustus cursed quietly, not sure whether he was scolding Luo An or a serial murderer.
"Lacie, please go out first."
"OK."
Asking Lacey to leave the team leader's office temporarily, Augustus' big black face asked Luo An very seriously:
"Luo An, there is a difference between a kidnapping case and a serial murder case, do you know that?"
"I know."
Luo An nodded.
Comparatively speaking, for solving a serial murder case and catching the real culprit, apart from the increase in fame, the leading detective in solving the case will not actually get much money, because the reward amount for the case is fixed.
Most of the time, the families of the victims in serial murder cases do not give much money as a thank you, because after the death of the victim, many families become broken up, and it is normal to have no money.
Kidnapping cases are different, because the purpose of kidnapping criminals is to seek money, and the families of the kidnapped victims also understand this, so when the detectives help them rescue their relatives, they generally do not hesitate to pay a thank you money.
Anyway, it was given to the kidnapper, and the thank you money given to the agent was slightly less than that given to the kidnapper.
Americans also understand that if you want a horse to run, you must give it grass.
This can be regarded as an unwritten rule in the United States.
Seeing Luo An nodding, Augustus was very satisfied. He liked this kind of subordinates who knew everything, so he continued:
“Our Investigation Team No. 5 has just been established, and cases like serial murders are actually not suitable for us.
The reason why I took on the "Lake Female Corpse Serial Murder Case" was because this case spanned a long time and it was best to solve the case. If we can't solve it, the team leader will not criticize us and will only hand over the case to other investigation teams. So I took over [The Serial Murder Case of Female Corpses in the Lake] mainly to let you gain experience.
The kidnapping case is different. Sometimes this kind of case is difficult, and sometimes it is easy.
I took over [The Missing and Kidnapped Case of a Rich Female] mainly for military training. It is best if you can solve the case. If you can't solve the case, I told you before. I will transfer Ryder to take charge, and you can gain experience. You will still have opportunities in the future... ....”
Hearing Augustus's talk, Luo An looked a little confused.
Good guy, I'm thinking about making money, you're thinking about politics!
The two people think in completely opposite directions.
After talking eloquently for a long time, Augustus felt his mouth was a little dry. Luo An stood up and poured him a cup of coffee. Augustus was very satisfied. After drinking the coffee, he finally asked:
"So, the current situation is, are you sure you can catch the murderer? If you are not sure, I will hand this case to other investigation teams immediately. After all, 14 hours have passed since the 24-hour prime time."
"Forehead......"
Luo An lowered his head and thought.
Just now in the Queens apartment, Detective Nell of the Trace Investigation Team was sorting out the body parts and briefly introduced the state of the body parts to Luo An.
Based on the thickness of the frost on the surface of the corpses and the degree of freezing of the corpses themselves, Nell roughly judged that the freezing time of these corpses was not long, roughly two to three days.
If Agent Nair's judgment is correct, it means that after kidnapping Serena, the murderer tortured her for more than two weeks before killing her.
Judging from this perspective, the rich woman Sabina should still be safe, and there is a high probability that she has not been killed by the murderer.
Of course, nothing is absolute, and who knows what a pervert like a serial killer thinks.
Then, the three most important things are: Who is the murderer? Where is the murderer's home address? After the murderer kidnapped Sabina, where is he hiding now?
It is not yet certain who the murderer is.
The Trace Inspection Unit did find fingerprints in the Queens apartment that did not belong to the victim. But now we can't be 100% sure that the fingerprint is that of the murderer.
Not only that, it takes a long time to test Bryant's fingerprints, and there are only 11 hours left in the 24-hour prime time.
At the same time, the fingerprints of Bryant's fingerprints can only be compared in the FBI's criminal fingerprint database. In other words, if the serial murderer has never committed a crime before and has not had his fingerprints recorded in the local police station, then the FBI's fingerprint examination database will not be able to find out the identity of the murderer at all.
We don’t know who the murderer is, and it’s even more impossible to find the murderer’s home address.
"The only thinking now is, where did the murderer hide after kidnapping Sabina?"
Luo An closed his eyes tightly and his brain was spinning wildly, thinking hard about everything that happened today, trying to analyze the murderer's behavior pattern and find where the murderer was hiding.
But serial killers are completely different from real killers after all. Luo An couldn't analyze what a perverted idea looked like after thinking for a long time.
Just when Luo An was about to give up, a light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly thought of something.
Could it be that the murderer...
Seeing Luo An's expression of lowering his head in thought, August understood that the other party was analyzing clues, so he didn't rush him and picked up the coffee to take another sip.
boom!
The door to the team leader's office was pushed open violently. Augustus was startled by the sudden loud noise, and the coffee in his hand spilled directly onto his stomach.
"Fu-k! It burned me to death!"
Augustus was so burned that he jumped up from his chair, grabbed the folder on the desktop, and subconsciously wanted to throw it at the person who entered the office without knocking.
But when he saw that the person who broke into the office was Darren, the husband of the rich woman Sabina, Augustus hurriedly suppressed the movement of his hands, even forgetting to wipe the shirt on his stomach.
"Agent Roan, Sabina was kidnapped by a serial perverted murderer, right?"
Luo An was also startled by the door that was suddenly pushed open. Just as he was about to punch the person who interrupted his train of thought, Darren's questioning voice rang in his ears. Luo An immediately asked:
"Where did you hear that?"
He only told Augustus, Lacey, and Mona about this matter... Could it be that one of Mona and Lacey let it slip?
Darren looked extremely anxious: "It was said on TV!"
"W T F?!"
When he heard Darren's words, Auguston's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly left the team leader's office and ran to the front of the office area.
There is a big ass TV hanging there that broadcasts news 24 hours a day.
In the office area, all the agents looked at the blonde female anchor of the news column on the TV with burning eyes.
"Today at about 7:30 pm, an extremely horrific murder occurred in an apartment on a certain street in Queens. The murderer not only dismembered the victim's body, but also put the victim's body in the refrigerator to freeze... ..
According to reliable sources, the case was a serial murder case, and there was only one victim in the apartment. The FBI has been involved in the investigation, but currently the FBI has no effective clues... Residents please pay attention to safety. ....."
"Fu-k! Shet! Biao Ziyang!"
After watching the report on the TV, Augustus' dark face turned darker than ink. He turned to look at everyone in the office area and asked angrily:
"Who leaked this case!"
Darren's expression on the side was extremely ugly, and he shouted to Augustus:
"Was my wife Sabina kidnapped by this perverted murderer?! How is she doing now?"
The agents in the office area looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Mona and Lacey, who knew the inside story, tilted their heads and looked at each other with suspicion on their faces.
According to the customs of the United States, under normal circumstances, when a certain case is known by the media, the subsequent development process of the case will be greatly affected.
