"Here's the scene before the robbers entered the bank."
Luo An pointed to the first scenes of several surveillance videos.
In the picture, two robbers wearing black clothes, black trousers, black gloves and black hoods, and holding a black satchel suddenly appeared from the side of the road outside the bank, and then quickly walked to the bank gate. forward.
Luo An slowed down the video and pointed out a small detail to August and Mona:
When the two robbers first appeared in the video, they had their hands on their chests.
"What's wrong, Roan?"
Seeing this action, several people looked puzzled:
"Isn't this the robber's move to cheer himself up?"
"No."
Luo An shook his head and slowly zoomed in on the video. When the picture quality was about to become blurry, Luo An stopped.
Then several people saw that the robber's hands on their chests were not fists, but empty hooks.
The two robbers' hands were hooked in front of their chests, but they didn't hook anything. Their movements were slightly stagnant, and then they put down their hands and rushed into the bank quickly.
Seeing this scene, Mona tilted her head in confusion, Augustus was thoughtful, Lacey's pupils trembled after thinking for a few seconds, then she tilted her head and looked at Luo An:
"This is what people who are used to wearing body armor would do!"
"That's right!"
As soon as Lacey finished speaking, Augustus patted his big belly and said in realization:
"Many people wearing full body armor will hook their hands above the body armor when chatting with others."
Whether in movies, TV series, or real videos on the Internet, you can see soldiers, policemen, special forces, etc. wearing heavy body armor, and some people hook their hands on top of the body armor.
This action is often caused by the fact that the full body armor is too heavy and compresses the chest. Put your hands on it and pull the body armor forward slightly to make your chest a little lighter.
Of course, there are some other reasons, but generally speaking, people who do this are all people who need to wear full body armor on a regular basis.
"So, Luo An, what do you mean?"
Mona on the side also thought about this clearly, then covered her mouth and said in surprise:
"Are the two robbers in the video footage soldiers? Police? Or special forces? Special operations team?"
After all, only these people wear full body armor on a regular basis.
"However, these are only scenes from the first and second robberies."
Before Luo An could answer Mona's question, Lacey frowned and said in confusion:
"In the other four robberies, the robbers did not do this."
"You're right, Lacey."
Luo An nodded, and then explained in a deep voice:
“But just as Mona guessed, these two people are most likely soldiers, police or other special forces.
Moreover, the relationship between the two robbers is very likely that they are comrades in arms, or they are very familiar with each other and often go on missions together. "
Several people did not refute the inference that the robbers must be very familiar with each other.
After all, they both robbed banks together, so it's impossible for the two not to be familiar with each other.
"Let's assume that the relationship between the two is that of comrades-in-arms, and then look here."
Luo An slowly pulled back the video on his computer and adjusted it to the moment when the two robbers entered the bank. The video slowed down again and continued:
“In the first four robberies, when the two robbers entered the bank, the first one fired a shot upwards, shocking everyone in the bank.
Immediately afterwards, the second person hurried to the bank counter with the bag, took out the transparent packaging bag, threatened the bank clerk, and asked her to quickly load the money.
These two steps are sequential, but these two things happen too fast. Without the slow-motion video, it would seem to the naked eye that they happen at the same time. "
"That's right."
Several people carefully observed the slow-play video on the computer and found that it was indeed the case, and immediately nodded in unison.
Seeing this, Luo An continued:
“In other words, although the relationship between the two is close, there is also a dominant person.
The leader of these four cases was the robber who was responsible for controlling the area. "
Having said this, Luo An closed the previous videos, adjusted the screen to the fifth case and the sixth case, and slowed down again:
"But look at these two robberies."
When the video was not slowed down, when the robbers entered the bank in the two cases, one of them fired a gun to control the situation, and the other threatened the bank staff with a bag. It seemed that the two things happened at the same time.
But when the video slowed down, Mona August and Lesiton suddenly discovered that in the fifth case, the person responsible for shooting subconsciously glanced at the person walking towards the bank clerk with the bag before shooting. .
In the sixth case, the shooter also made this subconscious move.
"this……"
Seeing this scene, Mona looked slightly shocked, Lacey raised her eyebrows, and Augustus turned around and asked:
"You mean, in the next two cases, the tasks between the two robbers were exchanged?"
"No, I mean, is there a possibility."
Hearing August's words, Luo An's lips raised slightly:
“The first four cases involved the same group of robbers, and the last two cases involved another group of robbers.
The leader of the group of robbers at the back was actually the person who threatened the bank staff, not the person who fired the gun. They actually just imitated the group of robbers in the front. "
"Copycat crime?"
Augustus narrowed his eyes slightly, and Lacey frowned:
"Is it too absolute to make such an inference from just one action? Why can't it be that for some reason, the robbers are still the same group of people, but the tasks of the two parties have been exchanged internally?"
She also discovered the differences in the movements of many robbers earlier. Why were those movements not considered by Luo An to be different robbers?
Lacey tilted her head in confusion.
"Every time a robber enters a bank, he will meet different people and different situations, so there will be some slight differences in his actions."
Luo An patiently explained:
“But for things like robbing a bank, the positioning within the team must be clear.
Who is the leader, responsible for making plans, and who is the subordinate, responsible for specific actions? As long as these functions are determined, they will not change easily.
Especially since we have previously determined that the first group of bank robbers were most likely members of the military, police or special forces. People like them pay more attention to details and will never switch the tasks of the two sides easily. "
Lacey frowned, and before she could continue to ask, Luo An adjusted the video on the computer back to the beginning.
"There is another important reason why I believe that the bank robbers in the latter two cases are not the same group as the bank robbers in the previous case."
Luo An re-adjusted the video of the fifth robbery to the scene before the robbers entered the bank.
The video was adjusted to slow speed, Luo An pointed at the video and said:
"Pay attention to the way these two robbers walk."
"Um?"
Because the bank camera is designed inside the bank lobby, and the video of the robber walking outside the bank does not exceed 1.5 seconds in total.
Therefore, neither Lacey nor the previous Investigation Team 14 focused their attention here.
They had also observed the surveillance video before, but part of their attention was focused on the scene after the robber opened the bank door and entered the bank.
After hearing Luo An's words this time, they focused on the video clip before the robber entered the bank.
Looking at the slow-played video on the computer, Lacey's pupils shrank and she suddenly slapped her hands:
"Shit! The way they walk is specially disguised!"
