"Yes, he is an actor."
Luo An nodded and saw the doubts on their faces. He played the video on the computer again and explained with a serious expression:
"You have also seen before that in the fifth and sixth cases, the two robbers deliberately disguised their walking postures.
But walking posture is not that easy to disguise unless you have received special training. "
Changing a person's walking posture is completely achievable after a long period of planning.
But imitating the walking posture of others is another matter entirely, and it is far more difficult than changing your own walking posture.
The gap between the fifth and fourth robberies was less than a month.
In such a short period of time, they were able to imitate their own walking posture to the point where they could be seen on the surveillance camera. Even if you didn't observe carefully, you wouldn't be able to spot the difference between them and the previous robbers.
Except for special talents in certain departments, this kind of person can only be achieved by actors who have undergone systematic training.
After listening to Luo An's words, Lacey lowered her head and thought. Mona took the list and was about to speak when August suddenly came over.
When Mona saw this, she took the opportunity to tell Augustus the analysis Luo An had just made.
After listening to Mona's words, Augustus patted his belly and looked at Luo An solemnly:
"So, we are going to check out the people on this list who have experience in performing?"
"That's right."
Luo An nodded and added:
"Not only the people on the list, but also the witnesses who are not on the list, it is best to check again."
"OK."
Augustus nodded and immediately stood up and arranged for the technicians of Investigation Team No. 5 to re-examine the witnesses of the previous four cases.
Immediately afterwards, Augustus patted Luo An on the shoulder and motioned Luo An to come to his office.
In the team leader's office, Luo An sat down.
"I just went to a meeting and got new news."
Augustus sat on the chair, took a sip of coffee and said to Luo An:
"Investigation Unit 14 was not disbanded after Broson left the building."
Hearing this, Luo An was stunned for a moment, then realized something, frowned, and asked tentatively:
"The leader of Investigation Team No. 14, is that Matthews?"
August nodded:
"Yes, that's him."
"this……"
After receiving the affirmative answer from Augustus, Luo An immediately scratched his head.
Ever since the last time Verenis told Luo An that she finally took over the serial bank robbery case, Luo An has always believed that the No. 14 Investigation Team was a hole dug by his superiors for Blossom.
With Blossom gone, this hole will naturally be filled.
But now this investigation team still exists, and it is completely controlled by Matthews...
Thinking of this, Luo An was suddenly startled, looked up at Augustus, and asked in a low voice:
"This Matthews, is Special Agent in Charge Corbett's man?"
Special Agent in Charge: Corbett, a white, middle-aged man with a gray beard and a touch of the Mediterranean.
He is the superior of Veranith and her four team leaders. In the FBI New York Bureau, his status is the same as that of another special agent supervisor, second only to the director and deputy director.
He also took advantage of Luo An's last successful case to dig a hole and bury Blossom's people.
If Matthews is really Colbert's man, then Matthews is hiding too deeply...
Luo An frowned.
Augustus was very satisfied with Luo An's reaction speed, but he shook his head and said:
"I don't know much about this matter. After all, I am just the leader of the investigation team."
Luo An frowned, and was about to continue asking something when Augustus leaned back, his face was calm, and he said calmly:
"But you don't have to worry about this, Luo An."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Luo An frowned and raised his head.
Seeing the slightly raised corners of August's mouth, Luo An reacted after being silent for a few seconds, and a smile appeared on his face again.
He really doesn't have to worry about Matthews.
Matthews is the leader of Investigation Team No. 14, and he has no authority to control Luo An of Investigation Team No. 5.
If he really wanted to do that, Augustus wouldn't be able to pass this level.
Not only that, but 99% of the time Matthews would not dare to do anything like stumbling upon the case later.
Blossom's lessons learned from the past were right in front of him, plus Veranith had been paying attention to Luo An, and Luo An also caught the eye of Special Agent Corbett because of the serial murder and dismemberment case.
In this case, Matthews will most likely only mock Luo An behind his back, but will not actually attack Luo An.
Thinking of this, a sunny smile appeared on Luo An's face:
"I understand, thank you sir."
"Good."
Augustus nodded with satisfaction, then briefly asked about the progress of the serial bank robberies, and waved his hand to indicate that Luo An could leave the office.
"It doesn't feel like the needle is poking me when someone is covering me."
After walking out of the team leader's office, Luo An glanced in the direction of the No. 14 Investigation Team's office area and grinned.
"Roan!"
Before Luo An could continue to recall the information about Matthews in his mind, Mona in the office area suddenly waved her hand, signaling Luo An to hurry over.
"What's wrong?"
Luo An walked to Mona and turned his eyes to the computer. He only heard Mona say:
"I just checked the bank clerks and bank security guards in the previous four robberies. None of them had any experience in learning acting."
Hearing this, Luo An frowned.
Lacey on the side also took the report handed over by the technician at this time, looked at it briefly, raised her head and said to Luo An:
"None of those New Yorkers who went to the bank to do business but were forced to become hostages because of robbers had no experience of learning acting."
Several technicians from the No. 5 Investigation Team were able to check the basic information of some people very quickly.
After hearing this, Luo An sat back on the chair at his workstation, frowned, and checked the video on the computer again.
"It's okay, Roan."
Seeing the expression on Luo An's face, Lacey smiled slightly, patted his head, and comforted him in a low voice:
"It's normal to find wrong clues. Just go back and change your mind and reanalyze it.
We just solved a bomb case that may appear in the future, so it’s not a loss..."
"That's not enough to depress me, Lacey."
Luo An twisted his body to avoid Lacey's hand slapping his head, and replied helplessly:
"I was just wondering if I was overlooking something."
Mona on the side heard this, her fingers continued to fly on the keyboard, and she replied casually:
"We have all watched these short and shabby videos so many times, how can we ignore them?"
"That's right."
Lacey nodded. When Luo An heard this, he suddenly discovered something and raised his brows:
“What about the video itself?”
"What's the meaning?"
Lacey tilted her head in confusion.
"Mona's words reminded me that there is something wrong with these videos themselves!"
Luo An threw the pen in his hand on the table, his eyes flashing:
"Since the robbers in the fifth and sixth robberies are simulated robbers in the first four robberies, they must know the figures and movements of the robbers in the first four cases!"
"you mean,"
Hearing this, Mona reacted suddenly and said in shock:
"The robbers in these two cases may have seen these videos!"
"That's right!"
Luo An clapped his hands, nodded heavily, and then said:
"But except for the third robbery, the videos of the other three robberies are too short and there is no need to view them, so..."
"So, these two imitators must have viewed the complete crime video of the robber recorded by the hidden camera in the third robbery!"
Lacey also reacted at this time and exclaimed:
"The robber is among the witnesses in the third robbery!"
“It doesn’t have to be the witness himself!”
Luo An grabbed the list on his desk and said seriously:
“We have always paid more attention to the witnesses at the crime scene, but ignored their family members, relatives and friends.
Don’t forget, these people also have the opportunity to understand the specific circumstances of these cases! "
Hearing Luo An's words, everyone in the No. 5 Investigation Team suddenly realized.
Without hesitation, he immediately focused his attention on the relatives and friends of the witnesses at the crime scene, and at the same time investigated the financial situation of these people.
Soon, Mona exclaimed:
"Luo An! Come to me quickly!"
