"What, Veranis demands that the murderer be caught within 24 hours?"
In the office area of Investigation Team No. 5, upon hearing Luo An's words, the eyes of two beauties, Lacey and Mona, suddenly widened and they covered their mouths in disbelief:
"And you will be suspended if you fail?"
"It's not a suspension, it's a resignation."
Luo An waved to Lacey to hand over the investigation reports of the two crime scenes to him, yawned and said nonchalantly:
"Don't worry, Mona, I'm the only one who's leaving. The rest of you will be suspended, or your wages will be suspended for a few months at most."
"Stop paying wages?"
After hearing these words, Mona jumped up on the spot, startling everyone present. Before Luo An and Lacey could speak, Mona reached out and grabbed Luo An's shoulders and asked extremely anxiously:
"What about the reward we got for catching the shooter?"
Luo An blinked and teased:
"I probably won't post it either."
Mona closed her eyes when she heard this, fell back and collapsed on the chair.
Everyone: "..."
Luo An almost laughed out loud and stretched out his hand to wake up Mona. However, the next second Mona opened her eyes with an angry look on her face. She turned around in her chair and started dancing on the keyboard with her fingers:
"serial killer,****"
A lot of greetings popped out of Mona's mouth. Luo An, who was sitting aside, was a little stunned. Seeing this, Lacey reluctantly pulled out a piece of paper from her desk and handed it to Luo An, saying:
"Mona bought a small apartment with a loan, and the contract was just signed this morning."
Luo An was speechless after seeing the relevant information about the apartment.
In the morning, he saw Mona sitting in front of the computer and typing on the keyboard. He thought Mona was hacking into some program, but it turned out that she was querying information about the apartment.
Shaking their heads and throwing the paper aside, Luo An and Lacey began to carefully review the on-site inspection reports of the two places where the bodies were found.
Detective Nair of the Trace Inspection Department said in the report that based on the degree of freezing of the body parts, the victim found by Luo An was the second victim, and the time of death was roughly estimated to be within two to three days.
The victim Ryder found was named Victim No. 1, and he should have died more than a month ago.
In both crime scenes, the murderer dismembered the body in the kitchen. After simply cleaning up the traces with water, he smashed the victim's home perfume on the kitchen floor in an attempt to cover up the smell of blood.
In addition, Nell's colleagues also found many toys, clothing, and tied ropes in the bedrooms of the two victims.
It was initially determined that the two victims had been tortured by the murderer using those objects for a period of time before their death.
In addition, Nair's colleagues found half a fingerprint in the bathroom of victim No. 2's house, and it has been searched in the fingerprint database...
After reading the report, Luo An threw it aside and began to close his eyes and think.
"I checked the surveillance cameras near the homes of the two victims."
The computer keyboard made a clicking sound, and Mona said in a very unhappy tone:
"Nothing was found, and there is no Internet connection. It's better to send some detectives to visit the site to see if there is any surveillance, and then get the video back."
Lacey nodded, but as soon as she took out the phone, Luo An waved his hand to stop her, then opened his eyes and looked at Mona and said:
"Mona, check the credit card usage records of the two victims immediately."
"OK."
Mona turned around and continued typing on the keyboard, while Lacey thought of something and tilted her head and asked:
"Do you think the murderer used the two victims' credit cards to buy things?"
Luo An nodded and said:
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. You also saw in the crime scene inspection report that there were many toys in the bedrooms of the two victims' homes. Those things were most likely not bought by the victims themselves."
"Why not?"
Lacey is still a little confused:
"In Sabina's apartment, weren't there a lot of toys under the bed? The murderer even went there to get them."
"That's because Sabine has money, Lacey."
Luo An took the investigation report, pointed to the contents and explained:
"The two victims' economic level is average, but the toys are well-known brands and expensive."
"this......"
Lacey was at a loss for words. She wanted to say that it was normal for women to be nice to her, but some of the toys in the photo cost nearly four figures. She opened her mouth but still didn't say anything.
"found it!"
The typing on the keyboard suddenly stopped, and Mona pointed at the data on the computer and said excitedly:
"During the time the investigative report states the victim was incarcerated, the credit card showed it was used to purchase numerous toys."
Lacey put her head close to the computer and saw the credit card purchase records of toys. She sighed that Luo An was thinking so fast. When she turned her head, she found Luo An walking towards the conference room.
In the conference room, August was calming down the emotional Mr. Darren.
Pushing open the door, Luo An didn't waste any time, looked directly at Darren, who was blushing, and asked:
"Mr. Darren, I have found clues about your wife and I hope you can cooperate."
"OK!"
Compared with August's big black face, Luo An's ordinary handsome face looked more comfortable. After hearing Luo An's words, Darren didn't hesitate at all and immediately walked out of the room and asked:
"What do you need me to do? Sabina has been missing for 13 hours! I don't want to wait any longer!"
Luo An simply comforted the other party, saying that he could understand the other party, and then asked the bank where Sabina's credit card was processed, thus obtaining Sabina's credit card usage record.
Nothing was found.
"The most recent usage was three days ago."
Mona pointed to the information on the computer and said:
"Shows Sabine bought a dress and then made no further purchases."
Looking at the five-digit price of the dress, Mona gritted her teeth.
Augustus and Darren, who learned the cause and effect from Lacey's mouth, looked ugly after hearing Mona's words.
Turning to look at Luo An, they found that Luo An had such an expression on his face, and the two of them immediately became convinced.
Needless to say, the reason for August's peace of mind was that he knew what Luo An was capable of.
But the reasons for Darren's peace of mind are a little more complicated.
From being questioned by Luo An at the beginning, being arrested by Luo An, and being put in the interrogation room, to learning about his wife Sabina's wonderful private life from Luo An's mouth, and finally having to ask Luo An to find his wife... ..Maybe this is the CPU.
Seeing the eyes of everyone around him turned towards him, Luo An twitched the corner of his mouth, pulled Darren into the conference room, and whispered:
"Mr. Darren, I now suspect that your wife has a credit card that you don't know about. I hope you can call the bank you suspect immediately and ask for the relevant information about the credit card."
Darren: “…..”
How many times? How much has his wife Sabina hidden from him?
After thinking about it, he also hid something. Darren took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said in a stiff tone:
"Give me a few minutes, thank you."
"OK."
Luo An nodded, turned around and walked out of the conference room. He found that Augustus and others were all looking up at the TV at the front of the conference room.
The press conference of team leader Veranith officially began.
