"Good morning, Roan."
Hearing Luo An's question, William, who was drinking coffee, smiled, waved his hand to signal Luo An to lower his head, and then whispered in Luo An's ear:
"I heard that a bank robbery case was recently handed over to Investigation Team No. 14.
Because Investigation Team No. 14 had just been established and there were fewer people in the team than we did, so although Blossom was the team leader, he had to go to the front line every day to follow the investigation. "
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Luo An shook his head after hearing this. When Blossom was the team leader, he no longer went to the front line in person. Now that he has been promoted to the team supervisor, he has to run out to investigate cases every day.
This is really...
Luo An grinned, patted William on the shoulder, and returned to his work station.
Regarding Blossom's current state, Luo An only has four words to evaluate it: it's your own fault.
The case of serial murders and mutilated corpses was reported to the media before, which was a blatant act of dragging their feet. The leaders above the team supervisor were not blind, so how could they not punish Blossom.
Luo An originally thought that the superiors above would stop Blossom's promotion or even demote him, but seeing Blossom's current appearance, and then thinking about Veranith's words that Blossom joined another foundation... ..
"It seems that the foundation that Blossom joined is not simple either."
After thinking for a long time, Luo An shook his head. It was not his turn to worry about these things yet, so he decisively threw the thoughts in his mind into the trash can.
Picking up the folder on the desktop, Luo An once again checked the relevant information on the "Lake Female Corpse Serial Murder Case".
The body was found in a lake on the border of New York and New Jersey.
The four bodies were all female. When they were recovered, there were no items around them to prove their identities. In the end, it was the local police in New Jersey who investigated the missing persons files and determined their identities.
The autopsy report showed that the four victims were forcibly strangled to death by rope-like objects. There were binding marks on their wrists and ankles, bruises on their upper bodies, and lacerations on their lower bodies. It is suspected that the four victims had been tortured by the murderer before their death. .
Because the body had been at the bottom of the lake for too long, the possible white genetic material of the murderer or other information related to the murderer had disappeared. Forensic doctors did not find any material other than the victim's.
In addition, the home addresses, social environment, life experiences, and work contents of the four victims seemed completely unrelated. The only common feature was that they were all married, and the rings on the corpses had also disappeared.
During the previous investigation of the kidnapping case, Luo An speculated that the murderer took off the ring on the victim's hand because it was a souvenir or out of possessiveness.
Just like when Luo An bought an apartment before, he wanted to replace all the decorations in the apartment. This is the subconscious thought of human beings who want to erase the marks of the previous owner of the item.
Therefore, Luo An asked Ryder to investigate the husbands of the four victims, their interpersonal relationships, work content, love lives, etc., hoping to find some clues.
but......
Seeing Ryder's investigation information, Luo An's lips twitched.
In Ryder's report, the interpersonal relationships and work contents of the four victims' husbands were all dictated by the husbands. Ryder did not ask other people to verify whether what the four husbands said was true or false.
As for the love lives of the four husbands, Ryder’s record is as follows:
Neighbors said that the couple had a good relationship and rarely quarreled.
Luo An: "..."
Thinking that Ryder was from the SWAT team and was good at persuading others physically, but not very good at things like investigating crimes, Luo An took a deep breath and suppressed the curse words in his heart.
"Here comes your coffee, Roan."
Just as Luo An closed the folder in his hand, Ryder, whose suit was about to explode, also walked into the No. 5 Investigation Team and placed a cup of hot coffee on Luo An's table. He grinned, showing his white teeth:
"With milk and sugar, your favorite."
With a move of his mouth, Luo An picked up the coffee and took a sip. He was silent for a moment and tilted his head to look at Ryder. Just as he was about to ask a few questions, the door of Investigation Team No. 5 was suddenly pushed open, and the pregnant Augustus took Mona away. Come in.
boom!
After slamming Lacey's desk hard to wake her up, Augustus stretched out his hand and pulled the whiteboard at the front of the office area and shouted loudly:
"A new week has begun, cheer me up! Now, everyone's attention is on this serial murder case. We must solve it this week and catch the real culprit!"
Having said this, Augustus looked around and found that everyone's attention had been attracted to him. He nodded and pointed to William beside him and said:
"William, briefly describe the overview of this case!"
"Okay, sir."
William took out a folder and briefly narrated the case facts that Luo An had read before to everyone. Augustus was satisfied that the elevator let him sit back, then he knocked on the whiteboard and shouted again:
"This is the case. I believe some of you have read it more than once, but I still want to emphasize once again that the murderer in this case is not simple, and we are not sure whether the murderer is still committing crimes!
So we must pay 200% attention this week and wait for new news to arrive at any time, is it clear? "
"Okay, sir!"
"Good."
Hearing the voices of the agents, Augustus nodded with satisfaction, then turned his attention to Luo An, turned and walked towards the team leader's office:
"Luo An, come here."
Luo An: "..."
Luo An sighed when he saw all the detectives looking at him, but he still followed August into the team leader's office.
"sit."
In the office, Augustus poured a cup of coffee for both of them. After sitting down on the chair, he said with a solemn expression:
"Luo An, this case is very important to you."
Luo An: "..."
Why do these words sound so familiar?
Seeing the strange expression on Luo An's face, Augustus was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. He waved his hand and looked at Luo An with a slight frown:
"Don't get me wrong, Luo An, I'm not talking about Blossom and the others this time."
Hearing this, Luo An tilted his head in confusion:
"If not them, who else could it be?"
"It's the police over there in New Jersey."
August took a sip of coffee, his face was solemn:
"You have to know one thing, Roan, no police anywhere likes the FBI."
Luo An suddenly realized that this was the truth.
Because of their authority, police officers in various regions have been unhappy with the FBI since its birth.
In the eyes of the police, it is their job to solve crimes and arrest people. Who do you think you are as an FBI?
And if the FBI solves a case that the police did not solve, where will the police's face be?
Therefore, many police officers completely ignore FBI agents and never listen to their suggestions and orders.
Some even more irritable police officers will tell the suspect to run away before the FBI arrests him, leaving the FBI to catch him, while he leads a group of police officers behind to eat bread, drink coffee, applaud and laugh.
Don't think that these are fabrications, these are real things that happened.
It was not until the 2001 plane bombing incident that the FBI's Washington headquarters established a nationally linked criminal record inquiry system due to the reform of the Department of Justice, and the relationship between the FBI and local police departments became slightly better.
But still not great.
Although local police no longer tell suspects to run away, it is still common to ignore the FBI or fail to do their job.
"So, Roan."
Seeing that Luo An guessed the meaning of his words, August stared at him and said:
"This time during the investigation of the case, you should pay more attention to the police in New Jersey."
Luo An nodded, licked his lips, and showed a warm smile on his face:
"Don't worry, sir, I never take the initiative to bully others, nor will I let others bully me."
