"What's up?"
After hearing Fletcher's words, Luo An asked hurriedly.
"The story in the notebook was almost finished. When I was walking back from my friend's house, my car had some problems on the way."
Fletcher rubbed his eyes and explained:
“I took the car to a car repair shop and I accidentally left this notebook in the car that night.
If I guess correctly, the employees at the car repair shop have most likely read this note. "
"OK."
Luo An's eyelids moved slightly, he was silent for a few seconds and nodded slowly, then continued to ask for other information.
But because of the flour, Fletcher was not very clear-headed, and he even dozed off in the chair later.
Seeing this, Luo An frowned and stopped asking. He left the interrogation room and asked William to take Fletcher away from here and temporarily imprison him.
Returning to his work station, Luo An looked at Fletcher's notebook for a while, then tilted his head and looked at Mona:
"How long has it been since Lacey left?"
"About half an hour."
Mona looked at the clock at the front of the No. 5 Investigation Team office area and said:
"When I saw her coming out of the interrogation room, I went directly to the equipment warehouse."
Luo An nodded, saw Mona's fingers flying on the keyboard, tilted his head and asked:
"What are you checking?"
"Augus asked me to check the information and itineraries of the NYPD who have checked the bank robbery files."
Mona shrugged and explained:
"Augus feels that the first four cases may be related to the NYPD."
"Forehead"
Hearing this, Luo An twitched his eyebrows and asked:
"Augus found information related to the robber?"
"should not."
Mona shook her head slowly, Augustus didn't say anything more to her, he just asked her to check first before speaking.
"OK."
Seeing Luo An hesitate to speak, Mona raised the corner of her mouth and asked softly:
"What, how can I help you?"
"Indeed."
Luo An nodded and said directly:
“In the fifth and sixth cases, the two robbers planned to use Ji Nu to visit locations.
In Fletcher's notebook just now, he also wrote down the method of using the memory to visit the bank.
I think there is definitely a connection, but I don't know where it is yet.
But this matter can be left behind. Now I hope you can check the women who were under surveillance in the first two days when the first four cases occurred, and see if their identities and jobs are related to similar occupations such as female profiling.
If there is a relationship between professions, they may also be related to the previous four robberies. They may even be the checkpoint personnel sent to the bank by the robbers of the previous four robberies. "
"No problem! Just leave it to me!"
After hearing this, Mona nodded decisively and agreed. Seeing some surprise on Luo An's face, she smiled slightly:
"Augus said he is not in a hurry and can complete the investigation within three days."
Luo An suddenly understood and patted Mona on the shoulder:
"Thanks for your hard work."
Mona waved her hand, saying it was a trivial matter, picked up the phone and called those banks.
Most banks in the United States keep surveillance videos for about three months, so more than an hour later, Mona obtained the surveillance videos of the bank lobby four days before the four robberies occurred.
Luo An sat down on the chair at his workstation. Just as he was about to check the video with Mona, the phone suddenly rang.
"It's me, Lacey."
There was a faint noise on the other end of the phone, and Lacey's voice was a little tired:
"I just checked the hotel. Fletcher didn't lie. He was indeed here when the crime occurred."
"OK."
Luo An clicked his tongue, and when he heard that Lacey was not in the right state on the other end of the phone, he suddenly asked with a solemn face:
"What happened to you over there? Do you need to call for backup?"
"Need not."
Lacey's voice of rejection came from the other end of the phone, and then she explained:
“When I came here, the owner of this hotel happened to be arrested by New Jersey police for growing leaves on his roof and balcony.
I just tried so hard to convince the New Jersey police to let me interrogate the hotel owner and check the hotel's surveillance system. "
"……Thanks a lot."
After hearing Lacey's promise that she could solve these minor problems, Luo An twitched the corner of his mouth and hung up the phone.
The main reason was that Luo An heard the voice of the New Jersey police officer on the other end of the phone and judged that the other party was most likely a female police officer.
Soon, it was time to get off work today.
After confirming Fletcher's status with William, Luo An left the office like everyone else, first drove his Chevrolet to a nearby supermarket to buy a few bottles of red wine, and then slowly headed to Ryder's house.
An extraordinarily sumptuous barbecue dinner.
——
The next day, Jacobs Federal Building.
Luo An walked out of the bathroom, looked at his haggard face in the mirror, and felt some discomfort behind him, and suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched.
"No, I will eat more vegetables and fruits later."
In this case, it would be useless to drink the newly opened stamina potion from the system at twelve o'clock last night.
The antidote might be useful, but Luo An didn't want to use the antidote, which could save lives at critical moments, for something like this.
"Good morning, Roan!"
Returning to the No. 5 Investigation Team office area, Ryder waved his hand to Luo An with a smile on his face. Luo An grinned and nodded reluctantly.
Lacey and Mona were also there. They were sitting together and excitedly discussing the cosmetics on the computer.
"Good morning everyone!"
The familiar opening remarks and loud voice rang at the door of the No. 5 Investigation Team office area, and Augustus, with a big belly, walked in carrying a bag of breakfast.
No nonsense, Augustus stood at the front of the office area, looked directly at William, and said:
"William, tell us about yesterday's investigation!"
"Let me do it."
As soon as William stood up, Luo An waved his hand to indicate to him that he would leave this matter to him today.
"Guys, yesterday we captured a former Boy Scout, Fletcher."
William sat back again, and Luo An took a deep breath and introduced everyone with the notebook in his hand:
"Based on what Fletcher told us, we have figured out the general circumstances surrounding the four robberies.
Fletcher's wife died four months ago. Three months ago, Fletcher decided to spend the rest of his life completing his wife's unfinished dream. Soon after, the script for the bank robbery appeared.
This script has been read by many people, not only Fletcher's relatives and friends, but according to Fletcher, employees at a certain car repair shop may have also read it.
Last month, the first bank robbery occurred. What the robbers did was exactly the same as what was described in the script. Therefore, we can judge that this group of robbers has definitely read the script written by Fletcher! "
"Good."
August nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Luo An to continue.
Luo An walked to the front of the No. 5 Investigation Team office area, pulled out a whiteboard, and said while writing:
“Our next investigation directions are three:
First, we carefully lined up Fletcher’s friends and family who had reviewed the script, focusing on those who had military experience.
Second, go to the car repair shop Fletcher mentioned and be sure to determine if anyone there actually saw the notebook and, if so, who.
Third, check the surveillance video from four days before the bank robbery..."
"very good!"
After listening to Luo An's narration, Augustus waved his hand and signaled the technicians of the No. 5 Investigation Team to investigate the personnel immediately, and then tilted his head to look at several field agents:
Which of you will go to the car repair shop?
"Let Lacey and Ryder be."
Feeling the faint discomfort coming from behind, Luo An's mouth twitched:
"Fletcher's mind was unclear yesterday, and there are still many things that he has not yet been asked about. I will have to interrogate him later."
"OK."
August nodded, Lacey and Ryder didn't say anything, they got up and headed to the equipment warehouse together.
Half an hour later, Fletcher was put back into the interrogation room.
