Early the next morning, in the Chevrolet.
Luo An's lips twitched when he saw the good reviews given on the system page and the three newly opened bottles of physical potions.
Silently drinking a bottle of stamina potion, his aching waist instantly became full of energy. Luo An hesitated for a moment and blacklisted this gym.
Damage my essence and blood, never come again!
At 7:40, Luo An arrived at the parking lot under the Jacobs Federal Building. After parking the Chevrolet, he checked to see if there was still time, then turned to the coffee shop opposite the building to buy a cup of ordinary coffee with sugar and milk.
"In the last life, when did milk tea enter the Federation?"
Holding coffee and a small bag of breakfast, Luo An passed the security check on the first floor of the Jacobs Federal Building. While thinking about whether to open a milk tea shop in New York, he could bring something from the mysterious Eastern culture to the federal rubbish who drink shabu-shabu water every day. impact.
While drinking coffee, he slowly walked towards the elevator leading to the No. 5 Investigation Team floor.
Just when the elevator door was about to close, a hand suddenly stretched out and stopped it.
The elevator door slowly opened again, and Luo An looked up and saw that it was Broson and Matthews who had an unhappy expression on his face.
Roan had learned Matthews' name from William before.
Seeing the two people who had obviously not slept all night, with red eyes and oily faces, Luo An was silent for a second, and a warm smile slowly appeared on his face:
"Good morning, sirs."
Luo An is always very polite.
"..."
Seeing that the person in the elevator was Luo An again, and hearing Luo An's greeting, Matthews almost spit out the words "Son of the Beach".
But when he saw the officer beside him, Blossom, walking into the elevator expressionlessly, Matthews hurriedly swallowed the words that had reached his throat and followed Blossom into the elevator.
Luo An was standing in the back left corner of the elevator with coffee and breakfast, while Blossom and Matthews were standing on the right side of the elevator door, clearly distinct from each other.
There was no verbal exchange as expected, and the elevator arrived quietly at the floor where the investigation team was located.
The elevator door opened, and Blossom stepped out expressionlessly. He didn't even look at Luo An from beginning to end, as if this person didn't exist at all.
When Matthews left the elevator, he cursed something under his breath, but did not look back to Luo An.
In the corridor, Matthews caught up with Blossom, looking very unhappy:
"Sir, this Luo An..."
"Not urgent."
Hearing Matthews' words, Broson's face was expressionless, but the cold light in his eyes seemed to freeze someone to death:
"Wait until he fails to solve the case before taking action."
Matthews raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this and sneered again and again: "Okay, sir."
On the other side, he walked to the door of Investigation Team No. 5, tilted his head and glanced at Blossom's back, Luo An took a sip of coffee:
"There is an old saying in the East, a dog that bites does not bark..."
With a cold light flashing in his eyes, Luo An silently raised the danger level of Blossom to him by one level in his heart.
The other party's methods are nothing more than adding insult to injury.
But adding insult to injury requires a well.
"Good morning, Roan."
Lacey, whose makeup disappeared again, dragged her tired body out of the elevator.
After saying hello, she snatched the breakfast from Luo An, swallowed it in a few mouthfuls, and then fell asleep on her desk.
Luo An: "...."
"Good morning, Roan."
Just as Luo An sat back at his work station, Ryder, who was covered in lumps, also came over carrying a bag of breakfast.
"Good morning, Ryder."
Luo An nodded and replied with a smile, then took the breakfast that Ryder prepared to put on the desk and stuffed it into his mouth in a few bites.
Ryder: "???"
"Good morning, agents, congratulations on moving forward another day in your life!"
Augustus, who had a big belly and carried a bag of breakfast, entered the No. 5 investigation team on time. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly:
"Today, the enemy we have to deal with is still the murderer of this serial murder case. Thanks to Detective Luo An for his excellent analysis yesterday, which helped us eliminate some wrong options.
Now, does any of the agents have anything new? "
"Yes, sir!"
Upon hearing this, William stood up with a folder and said loudly:
"Before getting off work yesterday, when I was checking on couples who got married three months ago at Little St. Phil's Church and currently live within the circle, I accidentally discovered a missing person case that was reported to the New Jersey police early yesterday morning."
In some areas of the United States, if the missing time does not exceed 24 hours, it will be classified as a missing incident. The police will only record it and will not investigate.
If the missing time exceeds 24 hours, the missing incident will be upgraded to a missing case.
However, the police will decide whether to open a case for investigation and how many police personnel will be dispatched during the investigation based on the family situation of the missing person.
All procedures are very American.
"Um?"
Everyone was refreshed and all turned their attention to William, but William then said:
"The person who reported the disappearance was indeed the husband of the newlywed couple, but the missing person was not his wife, but his high school daughter."
Hearing this, Augustus frowned:
"Although it's a bit unpleasant to say this, a girl in high school doesn't seem to be in line with our habit of finding this murderer?"
"really."
William nodded: "Not only that, this girl was also found by her father last night. The reason for her disappearance was that she sneaked out to play with her boyfriend, so the disappearance was canceled by the New Jersey police."
"..."
After hearing William's words, everyone was speechless. Luo An discovered something and said doubtfully:
"Is there any sequel to the matter?"
"That's right!"
William gave Luo An a 'you understand me' look, then picked up another folder from the table and said:
"Just now I turned on my computer and saw that the husband reported a missing person to the New Jersey Police Department. This time the missing person was his new wife.
According to her husband, the time of disappearance was last night when he went out to look for his daughter. Because the disappearance lasted less than 24 hours, the New Jersey police did not upgrade the disappearance to a missing person case, nor did they start an investigation. "
At this moment, everyone's eyes changed instantly.
William lowered his head to check the couple's marriage information and said seriously: "The couple got married two and a half months ago."
She lives near the Little St. Phil's Church, in the circle, and got married roughly within three months. The missing person is a married woman, and she disappeared at night, which meets all the conditions of the previous victims.
Not only that, it was also speculated yesterday that the murderer may continue to commit crimes during this period...
After briefly passing the information in his mind, Luo An decisively turned his attention to August. August nodded, motioned for William to sit down, and then asked loudly:
"Has any agent found anything new?"
The agents shook their heads, and August immediately looked at Luo An. Luo An did not hesitate and immediately led Ryder and Lacey towards the equipment warehouse.
After grabbing the equipment, the three of them got into the SUV of Investigation Team No. 5. Luo An stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared out.
——
"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you..."
In a small two-story house in a community 2.5 miles southwest of Little St. Phil's Church, when Luo An and the others arrived, the middle-aged white husband Jono was standing on the stairs and got angry, pointing at a room on the second floor and yelling curses. .
Bang bang bang——
"Hello, FBI."
Pushing open the door of the house that was not closed at all, Luo An took out the FBI's golden badge and showed it to Jono, and asked with a serious face:
"Mr. Jono, you reported a missing person to the New Jersey Police Department last night, right?"
