In the folder is the general situation of Blossom's investigation of the bank robbery in the past few days.
In the six bank robberies, except for the third bank which had a hidden camera installed in a fire sprinkler, the cameras of the remaining banks were all covered with black spray paint as soon as the robbers entered the bank.
So this hidden camera, which recorded the entire operation of the bank robbers, became an important guide for Broson and the others.
Based on the video records in the camera, Broson judged that the two bank robbers were a group of veterans or had experience in serving in the military, so the entire operation was very capable and straightforward.
When they subsequently questioned passers-by and bank employees who were trapped in the bank doing business at the scene of the second crime, Blossom and the others got another piece of news, that is, there was a snake-like shape on the right wrist of one of the bank robbers. Patterned tattoo.
Because the transparent document bag handed to the bank staff by the robbers contained their personal information and family member information, Blossom also began to investigate the bank staff's interpersonal relationships and family situations, and to see if anyone had inquired about them recently.
When the robber entered the bank, he fired one shot. Broson did not forget to check the shell casing left at the scene and took the shell casing for ballistic analysis.
Obviously, there is no big problem with Broson's investigation direction and experience judgment, but unfortunately, these clues did not allow Broson to find the traces of the robbers.
The locations where these banks were opened were not in affluent uptown areas. There was no complete surveillance video in the large area around them.
So after the two robbers completed the robbery and escaped from the bank, Broson only found the robbers' backs in a few old cameras that were not connected to the Internet, and judged that they were fleeing eastward, and then the robbers disappeared completely.
After investigation of snake-like tattoos, it was found that only a few tattoo shops in New York could draw this pattern. However, after investigation, it was found that the owner of the tattoo shop and the person who had drawn this pattern had alibi on the day of the crime.
An investigation into the bank employee's family situation yielded no clues.
As for the six bullets used for ballistic analysis, they determined that they were not fired by the same pistol, but the pistol was of the same model. There were so many black guns of this model wandering around that it was impossible to investigate them at the moment.
So to this day, Blossom has not found the exact information about the murderer.
After reading the information, Luo An raised his eyebrows and put the file back on Veranith's desk.
Verenis did not raise her head, she continued to write the document with her head down, and asked at the same time:
"Any ideas?"
"Brossen is an experienced FBI veteran, and there is no problem with the direction of the investigation."
Luo An nodded, then changed his tone:
"It's just that the investigation started at the wrong point."
Upon hearing this, Verenis stopped writing and looked up at Luo An:
"explain."
Without any nonsense, Luo An directly gave a brief summary of the interrogation process just now to Veranith, and finally said:
"Obviously, because the camera was blocked by black paint, Blossom could only rely on the camera video of the bank where the third case occurred and the witness testimony at the scene of the six cases to determine the murderer.
However, the two robbers in the six cases were all about the same height, and witnesses’ descriptions of the robbers also focused on the same clothing and the same mode of action.
Witnesses will inevitably overlook some details after being frightened. In addition, the murderer did not speak during the whole robbery and used the recording on his mobile phone to direct the actions of everyone in the bank, so..."
"So Broson most likely believes that these six robberies were committed by the same group of people."
Veranith threw away the pen, leaned back, and continued following Luo An's words.
"That's right."
Luo An nodded. No witness was unlucky enough to bump into a robber twice while doing business at the bank. Therefore, the witnesses at the six robberies would only tell the story of the robbery they had just experienced.
In the six robberies, the criminals carried out exactly the same crime process, wore exactly the same clothes, and even used the same model of pistols. They did not speak during the whole process, so it was logical to conclude that the same group of people committed the crimes.
"You just said that you have found the robber in the sixth case, right?"
Hearing Veranith's words, Luo An shook his head:
"No, sir, it's just a possibility. I can't guarantee this until I find concrete evidence."
Luo An didn't find any big flaws in Robert's description of the Hyena Gang.
But except for some special cases where large memory recovery techniques can be used to force prisoners to confess, ordinary cases still require evidence.
Luo An would not talk nonsense until he found the banknotes that had been robbed in the hands of the laundry owner, or other direct evidence.
After hearing Luo An's words, Veranis was silent for a long time, then straightened up, crossed her hands on the desk, looked at Luo An seriously, and said coldly:
"The three-day deadline set by Broson at the meeting to solve the case was still 6 hours away from the end of the time.
After 6 hours, if Blossom has not successfully solved the case, the case will be taken over by one of our remaining team supervisors.
If we solve this case, then I will have the opportunity to go further, and you will also have the opportunity to be promoted to a senior agent, and at the same time, you can get a large thank you payment from the bank. "
Roan nodded. Verenice had told him about this before, and he knew it.
With her eyes moving slightly, Verenis continued:
"Assuming that Blossom did not solve the case within the stipulated time, then before the case is handed over to us, we can first analyze the clues of the case, starting with the owner of the laundry.
If the laundry owner is not the real robber, or Blossom has already locked up an arrest warrant for the laundry owner, then just pretend that the incident never happened, and think about whether to take the case after 6 hours.
If it is discovered during the investigation that the laundry owner is a bank robber, and Blossom has not discovered this, then in 6 hours, I will take over the case from my superiors. "
The laundromat owner might be a bank robber, and the six bank robberies might not have been committed by a group of people. Veranith had no intention of informing Blossom from the beginning.
Not sure whether the news is true or not is one thing, but the main reason is that the man behind the serial murder case was reported to the media before, and it was Blossom who targeted the five investigation teams under Veranis.
If Luo An hadn't solved the case quickly and successfully rescued the hostages and killed the murderer in front of everyone, Verenis would have definitely been severely punished.
If she wants to remove the punishment, Verenis will definitely pay a heavy political price.
Moreover, Blossom and Verenice entered different foundations.
Political struggles are always life-and-death.
Veranis originally thought that if Blossom failed to solve the case, she would push him out of the FBI's New York branch headquarters building.
But she didn't expect that Luo An actually brought her good news, giving her the opportunity to drive Blossom out of the building directly.
Thinking of this, Veranith's throat twitched and she looked at Luo An with a somewhat complicated look.
After listening to Verenice's words, Luo An licked the corners of his mouth, his eyes flashed coldly, and he understood the meaning of the words.
To be honest, Luo An also wanted to take this opportunity to drive Blossom out of his sight forever.
When I was still a trainee agent at the beginning, after a certain operation failed, because of Broson's presence, only Luo An's points were deducted from the three-person team.
Later, after Luo An and Mona successfully arrested the park murderer, Blossom also targeted Luo An at the meeting.
If Luo An hadn't been prepared in advance and took away the notebook from the murderer's arms, the scene that night would have definitely made Luo An very embarrassed.
In addition, the case was later leaked to the TV station. When they met in the elevator, their eyes became colder every time, and the biting dog did not bark.
To be honest, if he hadn't been worried that during the investigation after the team leader's death, the cause of death was found to be abnormal, which would arouse the anger and investigation of the FBI's top brass, Luo An would have looked for an opportunity to quietly kill Blossom.
Thinking of this, Luo An no longer hesitated, nodded decisively to Verenis and grinned:
"Okay, sir, I know what to do."
Verenis was very satisfied after hearing this. After briefly explaining some arrangements, she asked Luo An to leave the office.
Back at the site of Investigation Team No. 5, Sean had been sent away after being interrogated by Lacey and William. Luo An touched the fists that had not been punched enough, turned around and walked into August's office.
After describing Verenice's arrangement to Augustus, Augustus agreed decisively without hesitation, and at the same time said to Roan with a serious expression:
"You must be careful during the investigation and evidence collection."
"Okay, thank you sir."
Luo An grinned, poured August a cup of coffee, turned and left the team leader's office.
Sitting back at his workstation, Luo An was just about to ask Mona, when Mona beside him asked calmly:
"Are you trying to investigate the serial bank robbery case?"
Luo An was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"That's right."
"I knew it."
Mona glanced at Luo An, pointed at the computer and said:
"When you went to find Veranith just now, I checked all the network surveillance in the area near the laundry. On the day of the crime, I did not find any suspicious figure of the laundry owner Elken."
The surveillance video can only prove that Elken opened the business late on the day of the crime, and that his daughter went into the laundry to help with a sad look, and ran out of the laundry happily. None of this has anything to do with the bank robbery.
"All right."
After listening to Mona's narration, Luo An nodded, thought for a moment, tilted his head and asked:
"What about the Elken family's consumption records? Is there anything unusual about it?"
"Do you know why gangsters like to open laundromats? Because there is a lot of change there and it is convenient to launder money."
Mona replied casually, pouted and started typing on the keyboard:
"My parents are old, my wife is disabled, my daughter is going to college, and Irken only has an old laundry. In this case, do you think he will often use credit cards?"
Luo An's mouth twitched, and just as he was about to say something, Mona nodded, pointed at the computer screen and said:
"It really does."
"."
Sorry, I just listened to my boss reciting sutras. The update is half an hour late. I'm extremely sorry!
