The conference took place in a conference room on the first floor of the Jacobs Federal Building.
In the brightly lit room, a large number of reporters were holding pens and papers, carrying cameras, and looked at Veranith standing in front of the conference room with burning eyes.
Today, Veranith is wearing a professional suit. The pants are very long and make her waist look very high. The white shirt makes her waist very slender.
Not only that, Veranith also put on a little makeup. Although her face was expressionless, the special temperament that a mature woman can possess still came to her face.
Many male reporters present brightened up and raised their hands much faster than the female colleagues around them.
Female reporters: "..."

"OK, agents."
In the office area of Investigation Team No. 5, Augustus greeted him a few times, drawing the attention of the agents away from Veranith who was chatting on the TV, and said loudly:
"Everyone should work harder tonight. We must find and catch the murderer as quickly as possible! Of course, I will pay overtime."
After saying that, Augustus ordered all the detectives to perform their duties, check the video and check the information, and finally turned his attention to Luo An and Mona.
The two of them were lowering their heads and discussing something.
"Roan, do you have any ideas?"
August asked.
Luo An looked away from Mona's computer, raised his finger and pointed to the conference room and said:
"I suspect the killer used Sabina's hidden credit card, so Mr. Darren is calling to ask for information about this card."
Augustus was thoughtful and just about to speak, his cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, I'm Augustus."
After hanging up the phone, August's dark face darkened a little more, and he said to Luo An and others:
"It's the phone number from the fingerprint database. The fingerprint found in the bathroom at the crime scene failed to be compared. The owner of that fingerprint cannot be found in the fingerprint database."
Mona's face fell instantly, and Lacey's face didn't look good either.
This situation is normal. After all, only people who have committed crimes will be asked to enter their fingerprints. It is impossible to find the fingerprints of normal people in the fingerprint database.
Augustus and Mona also knew this fact, but before the final result came out, no one had any expectations.
"Don't worry."
Luo An picked up the crime scene inspection report, looked at it, and comforted everyone:
"There's also a clue to a credit card."
"That's right!"
Mona's eyes lit up:
"As long as the other party has used a credit card, I can definitely retrieve the information used by the other party!"
After hearing the words of Luo An and Mona, Lacey and Augustus' emotions also came out of the haze of fingerprint failure.
A few minutes later, Darren opened the door to the conference room and walked out. Living up to everyone's expectations, he said directly:
"I asked Sabine's secretary for a credit card information."
"Very good!"
Mona cheered, her fingers flying, and immediately began to investigate the credit card usage records based on the information Darren said.
"Agent Luo An."
While Mona typed on the keyboard, everyone could only wait. Darren turned his attention to Luo Anshen, who was lowering his head to analyze the information, and asked very worriedly:
"How is Sabina doing now? Is her life in danger?"
How do I know this?
Luo An was a little helpless. He was not a murderer, so he could only comfort Darren with a few words. At this moment, Mona's excited voice came over:
"Everyone! This credit card was used just sixteen hours ago!"
"What?"
"Where?"
Everyone present hurriedly turned their attention to Mona's computer, only to hear Mona say while typing on the keyboard:
"Sixteen hours ago, this credit card was used to fill up the car at a gas station in the area of No. 19 on the Third National Highway!"
"Sixteen hours, exactly the time Sabina disappeared."
Luo An and Augustus both turned to look at Darren, and Darren said hurriedly:
"Sabina and I have never been in that direction! And we as a couple never put gas in the car. The secretary is responsible for these tasks!"
Luo An: "..."
Augustus turned to Mona and said hurriedly:
"Bring out the surveillance video from that gas station immediately!"
"I'm adjusting it!"
Mona never stopped typing on the keyboard. After a few seconds, she cursed a word starting with f, turned to August and said:
"The monitoring at the gas station has been out of order for a month, and we can't see the situation at that time."
"What about the surveillance of national highways?"
Lacey on the side moved to the computer and asked:
"There are surveillance cameras at the entrances and exits of national highways."
"I've checked what you said."
Mona slumped on the chair, pointed at the computer screen and said speechlessly:
"This month, the No. 19 area of National Highway 3 is undergoing extensive repairs, and all the cameras have been removed."
"Fu-k!"
Upon hearing the news, Augustus and Lacey cursed together. Augustus turned around and pointed at a certain agent next to him and said:
"You drive to the gas station immediately and ask the boss about the specific situation this morning."
"Okay, sir."
The detective immediately turned around and left.
Just as the agent left the office area, Ryder, who had been investigating clues outside, finally came back, walked up to August and said:
"Sir, the family members of the victims of the new serial murder case have arrived. When will we take notes?"
Call the victim's family members. In addition to identifying the body, you should also briefly question them. You might be able to find some useful clues and catch the murderer.
"Going right now."
Time was running out. Augustus stood up and wanted to take Luo An with him, but found Luo An sitting on a chair, staring at the document in his hand, frowning and thinking.
"I'll go, sir."
Seeing Luo An's condition, Lacey hurriedly stood up and said that she could take notes, but Augustus reached out to stop her movement and asked Ryder to contact the victim's technology first while he stayed and waited for Luo An.
Anyway, the victim's family has to go and claim the body first, so this is the first time.
Less than a minute after Ryder returned to the office, he was kicked out again.
Luo An didn't even notice what August and others had done just now. Ever since it was confirmed that the murderer had used Sabina's credit card, Luo An had been thinking about a question:
What is the murderer's behavioral pattern?
Analyzing a person's behavior pattern is a project specially taught by the old killer in his previous life when he was training Luo An. This project is extended from the behavioral analysis taught in the police academy.
The difference is that behavioral analysis in the police academy mainly analyzes the murderer's psychology by analyzing the murderer's movements to determine the general image of the murderer, such as height, weight, personality, hobbies, etc., and finally use these clues to narrow down the murderer's profile. range to catch the murderer.
But the old killer taught Luo An to analyze other people's behavior patterns, mainly to allow him to analyze the target's habitual behaviors, habitual thoughts, small actions, and subconscious actions. In this way, you can find the moment when the target person relaxes his vigilance the most, or the most suitable place to take action, and complete the killing with one strike.
There are many common principles in the world. They are used to analyze the behavior of the target person when looking for the right time to attack. If you think about it from another angle, you can actually analyze the behavioral inertia of the murderer.
A person's behavioral inertia is usually subconscious behavior, and subconscious behavior is usually difficult to change.
