"The woman in the video is named An Kina. She is 46 years old. She is one of the people cleaning up on the floor where the press conference was held."
Mona showed An Kena's information to Luo An, and then called up another surveillance video:
At the beginning of the press conference, Ankona once walked around the corridor outside the conference room carrying a mop, putting her left hand in her pocket every time.
The moment the explosion occurred, Ankina looked like she was frightened. She sat down on the ground first, then hurriedly took advantage of the chaos and hurriedly left the place with the others.
"It appears she was the one who controlled the bomb and caused it to explode."
After watching the two videos, Luo An pursed his lips, pondered for a few seconds, then tilted his head and said to Mona in a deep voice:
"Is there anything useful you can find out about that car?"
"No."
Mona shook her head, tapped the keyboard a few times and frowned:
“The license plate on that car was fake.
According to the surveillance video on the highway, the car could only be found to have driven into Lower Brooklyn. "
It's the kind of place in downtown Brooklyn where you can just throw that car on the side of the road and a helpful guy will be there to clean it up in a few minutes.
Luo An was silent for a moment, thought about it and said:
"Check Ankina's recent financial situation and see if you can find any useful clues."
"OK."
Mona nodded and continued typing on the keyboard with her fingers.
Time flies forward, and it’s soon time to get off work.
After get off work, Luo An and others did not go home immediately, but drove to the hospital to visit Veranith.
But at this time, Veranith hadn't woken up yet, and was still sleeping on the hospital bed.
Looking at each other, Luo An and others had no choice but to leave and come back tomorrow.
——
The next day, Congressman Mathai's house.
Sitting in the study room, which was as large as the office area of Investigation Team No. 5, Luo An and Lacey looked at each other and took a sip of coffee quietly.
Yesterday's shooting case, the NYPD has handed it over to the No. 5 Investigation Team.
Mona found no abnormalities in the economic status of Ankina's bank account, but if the other party obtained the banknotes but chose to hide it, Mona would naturally not be able to find it.
So in the end, Mona and Ryder chose to go to Ankena's home to have a look, and at the same time visit Ankena's relatives and friends to see if they could find any useful information.
“All dinner invitations for this week have been cancelled!”
At this moment, an angry voice suddenly came from the corridor outside the study.
The next second, the study door was pushed open, and a middle-aged white man with a long face and a short beard walked in with an older white man in a suit.
“Also, I declined the interview with CNN!
My father had just passed away and they actually invited me to be on the show! damn it."
Congressman Mattei's son, Wilbur Mattei, looked angry, while the elderly white man next to him looked sad.
Luo An and Lacey looked at each other. Lacey stood up first and stretched out her hand to Wilbur:
"Hello, we are FBI agents and we are here this time"
"I know you are here to investigate the explosion."
Before Lacey could finish what she said, Wilbur waved his hand to interrupt her, walked quickly to the desk, picked up a glass of wine and poured it all into his throat, then turned around and said:
"I'm sorry, my father's death was so sudden. I was dealing with things last afternoon and night, so I need some wine to cheer me up now."
Seeing Wilbur's red eyes, Lacey frowned slightly and asked:
"Then can we get started?"
"Can."
Wilbur nodded, then picked up a bottle of wine and took another swig.
Lacey frowned upon seeing this and turned her head to look at Luo An.
Luo An didn't waste any time. He took out a notebook from his pocket and asked seriously:
"Mr. Wilbur, have you seen anyone suspicious recently?"
"I have no idea."
Wilbur shook his head and said that he had to go to work every day, and Congressman Mattai went to a different place every day. He did not know Congressman Mattai's daily experience.
After hearing this, Luo An wrote casually in his notebook and continued to ask:
"Has your father offended anyone recently?"
"My father is a congressman. How could he not offend anyone?"
Hearing this question, Wilbur sneered:
"Recently."
"Ahem!"
In the middle of Wilbur's words, the elderly white man who had been standing beside him without speaking suddenly coughed.
The violent coughing sound startled Wilbur. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly threw the wine aside and said:
"I have a headache. You should ask him the next question."
When Luo An and Lacey heard this, they frowned and turned their attention to the elderly white man.
"Two agents."
Seeing the two people's gazes, the old white man slowly showed a smile and said softly:
"My name is Adam, and I am the steward of the Mattai family."
"Hello, Adam."
Luo An stretched out his hand to suppress the agitated Lacey, and then continued to ask without changing his expression:
“As the steward of the Matai family, you must know many of Congressman Matai’s experiences during his lifetime.
Excuse me, has Congressman Ma Tai offended anyone recently? "
"Sorry, I"
Adam smiled slightly, and just as he was about to deny it, Luo An said directly:
"I know what you want to say, but what I want to tell you is that although Representative Mattai is dead, the explosion may not have ended, and the Wilbur next to you is most likely to be targeted by the murderer.
Although you can hire bodyguards to protect your safety at all times, the bodyguards will always be lax, but the murderer will never be lax, so you can imagine the consequences for yourself."
"What?"
Seeing Luo An say these words with a serious face, Lacey's mouth trembled, Adam frowned, and Wilbur straightened up instantly:
"Where did you get the news that the murderer was targeting me?"
Luo An didn't answer, smiled slightly, and turned his eyes to Adam.
"."
Adam was lost in thought, while Wilbur began to scratch his head and drink heavily.
There was silence in the room for a long time. Finally, just when Wilbur was about to bear it, Adam finally raised his head, looked at Roan and said:
"Mr. Agent, when Mr. Mattai was still here, not long ago, he would receive an email every day on his computer.
The content of the email was very vicious, and he threatened to kill Mr. Mattei with a bomb many times. "
——
The dark SUV sped toward the direction of the Jacobs Federal Building.
"Well done, Roan."
Lacey sat in the passenger seat, looking down at the computer that Adam gave them, and asked with a smile:
"Luo An, do you think that butler Adam told the truth in the end?"
"of course not."
Luo An shook his head, but after a brief thought, he guessed what the other party was hiding.
It is nothing more than other congressmen and organizations that Congressman Ma Tai offended due to different interests or camps during his lifetime.
But in the final analysis, those people or organizations are all about money, and they will not send bombs into the FBI's territory to blow up Congressman Mattai.
After all, doing so also offends the FBI, and offending the FBI will do no good to these people.
Jingle Bell--
Just as the SUV was about to arrive at the Jacobs Federal Building, Lacey's cell phone suddenly rang in her pocket.
