Office area of Investigation Team No. 5.
The crackling sound of the keyboard sounded. After a long time, Mona tilted her head and said to Luo An beside her:
"You guessed it right, Roan, the four victims of the Lake State murder case, Linda Kibo, Beatrice Lyon, Natalie Carlisle and Tamara Terry, the four of them They were all weddings held at Little St. Phil's Church in Closter, New Jersey."
"OK."
Luo An nodded when he heard this. Ryder on the side came over, looked at it for a few seconds and asked:
"Is it related to this serial murder?"
"High probability."
Luo An nodded and explained:
“The four victims’ home addresses, life, work, social environment, etc. are completely unrelated, and even their appearance has no uniform characteristics, such as blond hair or red hair.
The only connection is that they are both married women.
So now it is found that several victims were married in the same church. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no connection between them. "
Mona continued to collect the list of couples who had held weddings in the church in recent years, and then said:
"Before the wedding, the church management will ask the couple to fill in their personal information, such as name, home address, work location, etc.
According to the church administrator, unless the newlyweds come back to request the information, the information will be kept in paper files in the church and will be processed only once every few years.
The murderer can use that information to find the victim. "
"It seems that this is where the murderer identified his target."
After listening to Mona's words, Lacey, who was holding her waist next to her, nodded.
Luo An glanced at Luo An and asked Mona in a deep voice:
“Does anyone know who had access to the personal information of these newlyweds?”
"I'm afraid we have to go to Little St. Phil's Church for on-site investigation."
Mona spread her hands, with a speechless expression on her face:
“According to common sense, only church administrators have access to those materials.
But according to couples who have held weddings in this church, except for the front hall, which is clean, spacious and bright, other areas of this church are actually very simple.
Because there was nothing valuable, there were no cameras installed in the corridors, and the few small rooms were not locked very often. The security guard was just an old priest.
If someone wants to enter a church and steal information, they can do so without attracting anyone's attention. "
"All right."
Seeing in the photo that when the newlyweds got married, a group of people were eating for free in the small square outside the church because of the dedication activities. Luo An rubbed his temples and said after a long silence:
"Let's do this, Lacey, you and Ryder go to Little St. Phil's Church together and get back the list of all the couples who have had their weddings held here in the past ten years. I'm afraid we have to compare them one by one."
"What?"
After hearing Luo An's words, Ryder didn't react at all. Lacey, who was rubbing Mona's slender waist, jumped up on the spot and said with doubts on her face:
"Why do we need to obtain information that is so old? Can't we just check directly when the four victims disappeared and the manager in the church didn't have an alibi?"
"This will indeed be investigated, but not now."
Seeing the puzzled looks from Lacey, Ryder, and Mona, Luo An twitched the corner of his mouth, coughed slightly and explained:
"First, of the four victims, Marla Terry was married eight years ago but died two weeks ago. We can't determine if there is any connection.
Second, according to the forensic report, the murderer obviously did not commit the crime for the first time.
So we need to investigate these couples in the church to see if there are any missing cases before this, and then find a way to find the bodies or find the connection between the victims.
The more times the murderer commits crimes, the more things will be exposed, especially his first few crimes, which will definitely provide the FBI with a lot of evidence to find his true identity.
Third, nothing related to the murderer was found on the bodies of the four victims.
Even if the administrator at the church had no alibi, it would be useless because without evidence, we would have no way to connect him to the victim.
So while we are investigating the church administrator, we must also find the murderer’s previous cases, and then find more evidence to nail the real murderer! "
After listening to Luo An's methodical narration, Lacey and Ryder suddenly understood, nodded decisively and turned around to leave the office area.
Mona looked at the computer and thought for a moment, tilted her head and asked:
"But when the couple gets married in the church, there are so many passers-by who come to eat and drink for free because of the dedication activities. What should we do with these people? We can't rule out their suspicions?"
"..."
Luo An glanced at Mona and was about to answer when Augustus suddenly walked into the office area with two white agents in suits and shouted:
"Luo An! Come to the conference room!"
"Okay, sir."
Patting Mona on the shoulder, Luo An asked her to log in to the FBI database and check the cases in the Little St. Phil's Church area, focusing on murder cases, rape cases and stalking cases, and then walked into the conference room.
As soon as he entered the conference room and closed the door, August pointed at the two white detectives and introduced Luo An:
"The person on the left is Special Agent Norton from our FBI Organized Crime Division. The person on the right is Special Agent Mullen from the DEA."
The FBI's Organized Crime Division's main focus is gangs.
DEA, or Drug Enforcement Administration, means the Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States. Its main work direction is to combat the illegal trade and use of flour in the United States.
Notice! It's illegal flour!
Legal people don't care.
"Hello, just call me Luo An."
Luo An raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two agents, then tilted his head and asked:
"I wonder what you two want to see me for today?"
"Hello, Agent Roan."
Special investigation agents from the two agencies looked at each other, including the FBI's Norton of the Organized Crime Division, who explained:
"That's it. Our two departments have been investigating the Hyena Gang for the past year and want to send the gang's boss Lu Lane to prison..."
To put it simply, the black man named Yoon who was arrested by Luo An today, after a large-scale memory recovery operation jointly performed by the FBI and DEA departments, said some things that were not important to Yoon, but to the DEA and FBI very important clues.
So the two agents came here today to express their gratitude to Agent Luo An of the No. 5 Investigation Team.
Seeing the $1,000 check handed over by the other party, Luo An raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he could get money from just catching a black man?
There were so many black people on the street...
Glancing at August, who had a big belly and a dark face next to him, Luo An hurriedly put aside the thoughts in his mind.
"Thanks."
After taking the check, Luo An politely said thank you.
At this moment, the DEA agent Mullen coughed out of the corner of his eye, and was about to speak. Luo An's eyes flashed, and he immediately put the check into his pocket, then grabbed the two agents' hands and shook them. Face and Xin’s smile:
"As an FBI agent, I have always admired the work of both your departments!
As long as you need it, in addition to being an undercover agent, assassinating gang leaders, gathering gang information, installing bugs, secretly recording videos, seducing gang boss wives... and other high-risk tasks, I will definitely help you! Trust me, I'm good at solving crimes! "
Mullen: "..."
Norton: "..."
