"That's right, and there are more than one places where the other party did tricks."
Hearing Mona's words, Luo An nodded with an expression on his face, and then pulled out the seat belt on the driver's seat:
"Someone has tampered with it here too."
Mona looked at the somewhat damaged seat belt and tilted her head in confusion:
"Can you elaborate?"
"The seat belts of Evander's car are equipped with a pre-tightening function, which means that when the vehicle collides, the seat belts will be tightened in about 0.1 seconds to protect the safety of the driver."
Luo An showed the car's pretensioner device to Mona and said solemnly:
"But it's clear that the car was not functioning when it hit the tree."
After listening to Luo An's narration, Mona was silent for a few seconds and swallowed slowly.
——
Office area of Investigation Team No. 5.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have some bad news!"
The pregnant Augustus held a folder and stood at the front of the office area, shouting with a serious expression:
"After the painstaking investigation of Detectives Luo An and Mona, it is now confirmed that this car accident was not an accident! It was a complex murder that was designed to be an accident!
I want to know, who would set up such a complicated trap just to kill an ordinary photojournalist?
Now, everyone, please take action, dig deep into Evander’s life experience, and tell me everything he has ever done! "
Having said this, August paused and turned his attention to Mona:
"Did you find out the identity of the guy who stole Evander's laptop?"
"not yet."
Mona shook her head: "The other party is very skilled and seems to know the layout of the cameras and how to avoid them."
"Now let's list this man who stole things as the No. 1 suspect."
When Augustus heard this, he frowned, and then turned his eyes to Luo An, who was sitting at the work station and looking down at the information:
"Luo An, what do you think?"
"There's something strange about how Evander got into a car accident."
Hearing Augustus calling him, Luo An raised his head, held up the information in his hand and said:
“I don’t quite understand how the murderer ensured that Evander’s car had a problem on the road in the woods and hit a big tree.
Therefore, I suggest that we investigate the first person who called the police. According to the data, their car had been following Evander’s car, and they witnessed the entire car accident with their own eyes.
I think they may have seen some clues that the NYPD ignored. "
"very good!"
After listening to Luo An's words, the word satisfaction was written all over August's big black face.
Luo An can always find clues and ideas, and he is indeed the talent he likes.
Augustus waved his hand, indicating that Luo An had the final say on the specific direction of the next investigation.
But in the end, Augustus still said to Luo An with a serious face:
"The enemy this time is not simple. At this critical moment, you must pay attention to safety. Preserving yourself is the most important thing."
"Okay, sir."
Luo An grinned when he heard this.
When I walked into the equipment warehouse, I picked up a few more shock bombs than before.
Lacey, who went on a mission with him: "..."
——
The SUV soon arrived at the outskirts of the community where the person who reported the crash lived.
"According to the information, the reporter is a couple. The husband is an engineer and the wife is a teacher."
Lacey flipped through the information in her hand and said nonchalantly:
"It looks like an ordinary middle-class family, and they probably just happened to stumble into this car accident."
"hope so."
After hearing what Lacey said, Luo An replied casually, carefully checked the equipment on his body, and after making sure that the plate armor vest + shock bombs + two Glock 18s + extended magazines were all in order, he opened the door and got out of the car.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Hello! Is anyone home?"
Lacey stepped forward and patted the door of the house hard.
After waiting for a few seconds, footsteps were heard, and a male voice came from the room:
"who are you?"
"FBI!"
Lacey took out the golden badge and showed it to the other party:
"We have some questions to ask."
After seeing the golden badge, the door opened a few seconds later, and a middle-aged white man with red eyes appeared in front of Luo An and Lacey.
"Feel sorry."
Chance, the man of the house, hurriedly invited the two of them into the living room. He first poured a glass of water for Luo An and Lacey, and then pushed the books on the table aside.
Finally, he sat on the sofa, rubbed his hands, looked at Luo An and Lacey, and asked loudly:
"Excuse me, what do you want from me?"
Luo An frowned when he saw the other party walking around the house wearing leather shoes and a work shirt, with brand-new strangulation marks accidentally exposed on his wrists.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Chance."
Lacey raised her eyebrows, and then asked warmly:
"We are here this time to ask about some details about the car accident that you called the police last night, OK?"
"no problem!"
After hearing Lacey's words, Chance nodded hurriedly, and then forced a smile:
"What details do you want to ask?"
Just as Lacey was about to speak, Luo An suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her.
Under Lacey's doubtful eyes, Luo An asked loudly:
"Excuse me, Mr. Chance, what did you and your wife do last night? Why did you come home so late?"
On the other side, Luo An pulled out a piece of paper from the book next to him, picked up a pen and wrote on it, then showed it to Chance.
Lacey, who didn't know why, glanced at Luo An and turned her attention to the paper.
All I saw was written on the paper:
"Mr. Chance, please answer my questions normally and don't change your tone.
At the same time, if your wife is being coerced, please put your left and right hands together and we will do our best to rescue her. "
After reading the text written by Luo An, Lacey's pupils instantly tightened and she subconsciously reached for the pistol at her waist.
Chance's pupils were also shaken, and he looked at Luo An in shock.
Seeing Luo An shaking the paper impatiently, Qian Si finally reacted and immediately clasped his hands together, nodded crazily and pointed to the bedroom upstairs, and said with trembling lips:
"My husband and I went to a concert last night, so we got home a little late..."
Lacey no longer cares about Chance's answer. She is now very shocked and wants to ask Roan how he found out.
But it was important to save people at the critical moment, so Lacey took out his pistol and looked at Luo An, silently asking:
What to do next?
At this time, Luo An's face was very solemn. After thinking for a few seconds, he continued to ask Qian Si questions and wrote on the paper:
"Calling for backup. Keep asking questions. Don't show any signs of weakness. I'll find a way up the stairs."
Seeing Luo An's text, Lacey took a deep breath and nodded heavily, then turned her head and began to comfort Mr. Chance, writing to make the other person speak in a normal voice, and continued to ask him questions.
At the same time, Lacey also took out her mobile phone and sent a text message, briefly explaining the current situation and calling for support.
On the other side, the heavily armed Luo An looked solemn and held a Glock 18. He slowly walked up the stairs in a fighting posture and successfully entered the second floor of the house without making the slightest sound.
There are three bedrooms on the second floor of the house, of which only the master bedroom door is closed.
In addition, Mr. Chance said just now that his wife was in the master bedroom, Luo An immediately moved little by little to the door of the master bedroom.
Standing at the door of the bedroom, two sounds of breathing faintly reached Luo An's ears from the room.
Seeing this, Luo An curled his lips and slowly took out a shock bomb from his pocket.
But the next second...
boom!
Wow——
Just as Luo An took a deep breath and prepared to take action, a loud noise suddenly came from the master bedroom, followed by the sound of glass breaking.
"Fuck!"
Hearing this voice, Luo An cursed in a low voice, immediately kicked open the bedroom door and rushed in.
