"Good morning, hardworking agents!"
August pushed open the door of Investigation Team No. 5 and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Unfortunately, another case occurred in New York this morning, and we have work to do again!"
After taking the materials distributed by William to everyone, Ryder swallowed the breakfast in his mouth and muttered:
"Damn it, can't these criminals in New York stop for a day?"
After hearing this, Luo An took the material and glanced at Ryder.
It is more reliable to hope that there will be no cases in New York, a geomantic treasure land, than to hope for world peace.
Looking down at the material, what I saw was a beautiful headshot of a middle-aged white woman.
“The person in the photo is the victim of this case:
Therese Perez, 41 years old, is the chief financial officer of a well-known cosmetics company in New York. "
After distributing the materials and receiving August's instructions, William introduced to everyone:
“This morning, Trish Perez was kidnapped and taken away a hundred meters south of her apartment when she went out to work.
The caller was a woman who got up early to walk her dog. According to her, the kidnapper was a white man in a suit and tie, with a temperament similar to someone who works on Wall Street.
The incident described by the caller was very simple:
The man followed Tris. When Tris walked to a black car, the man pulled out a pistol from somewhere and put it against Tris's head. At the same time, he covered her mouth to prevent her from making any sound.
Then the man opened the trunk of the car, stuffed Tris in, and then drove away from the scene.
According to the caller, excluding the following process, the man actually took action in less than three seconds. The man drove away before her dog finished urinating. "
After listening to William's description, everyone in the No. 5 Investigation Team had different expressions.
Sure enough, kidnapping only requires the most ordinary behavior.
The information shows that the person who called the police did not see the license plate of the car clearly, and only saw it heading east.
Augustus took the materials and discussed with the agents for a few words, then turned to look at Luo An and asked:
"Luo An, what should we do next? What do you think?"
Hearing August's words, Luo An raised his head:
“The information shows that Tris’s parents died a few years ago and she currently lives alone, so Mona and I will go to her house to look for clues.
Trish is the CFO, which is why this case was brought to us. Ryder and Lacey can go to the cosmetics company later and ask their boss.
In addition, we also need to investigate the surveillance area of the crime scene and find the car. William and the others can be responsible for this. "
"Great."
Augustus nodded with satisfaction, clapped his hands vigorously, and loudly signaled everyone to follow Luo An's arrangements in the next case handling process, and finally added:
“Our most important goal now is to quickly find Tris and confirm whether she is dead or alive.
The first one to find a specific clue will be rewarded with a big burger!
Now, everyone, take action! "
Upon hearing the burger, all the agents immediately threw a pair of hygiene balls at Augustus, but they still acted quickly.
The four of Luo An walked into the equipment warehouse, sorted out their equipment, and drove two SUVs in two directions.
——
Therese Perez's apartment.
Luo An looked around and asked two NYPD patrol officers to help visit the neighbors around Tris. They might be able to gain something.
With the search certificate and the help of the Trace Inspection Department, Luo An and Mona successfully entered the apartment.
"Wow, as expected of the chief financial officer of a cosmetics company."
As soon as she entered the living room, Mona started to sigh.
Because she saw a variety of lipsticks, facial masks, facial cleansers and a lot of skin care products.
This is just the living room, there are more in the bedrooms and bathrooms.
The only place without cosmetics is the study room in the apartment.
The desk in the study room only has computers, keyboards and other items.
But the bookshelf opposite the desk is filled with information and books related to federal taxation.
Entering the study, Luo An picked up a book related to federal tax law and flipped through it, then turned back to several agents from the Trace Inspection Section and said:
"Take away all electronic devices here and carefully check the bedrooms and bathrooms to see if there are any fingerprints or DNA from a third party."
"no problem!"
Several agents from the Trace Inspection Section began to get busy. Luo An turned around and walked back to the living room, where he found Mona wearing gloves and looking at several cosmetics with a serious face.
"What's wrong, Mona?"
Luo An raised his eyebrows. Did she find a clue?
Mona turned around and said in a low voice:
"Luo An, I just checked it carefully.
Add up the price of all the cosmetics in this apartment, and they are probably more expensive than the small apartment I bought! "
Mona, who has been poor recently, has envy, jealousy and hatred written all over her face.
"All right."
Hearing this, Luo An's mouth twitched.
"But this is actually an important clue, Roan."
Seeing the speechless expression on Luo An's face, Mona rolled her eyes. She felt as if she had been misunderstood by Luo An.
Picking up the cosmetics set on the living room table, Mona looked serious:
"This set of things has a street price of 800 US dollars, but Tris just put them in the living room without using them..."
After hearing what Mona said about the price of cosmetics, Luo An subconsciously cursed the cosmetics company and lamented that women are the most willing species in the world to spend money on themselves.
But then, Luo An immediately understood the meaning of Mona's words and raised his eyebrows:
“This shows that Tris doesn’t care about these cosmetics, even if they are expensive.
In other words, Tris didn't care about the person who gave her these cosmetics. "
"Yeah."
Luo An took out his cell phone and planned to call Lacey and ask her to investigate who always sent cosmetics to Tris.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door of the apartment.
Luo An took Mona to the door of the apartment and found that the other party was a beautifully dressed white woman. She was one of Tris' neighbors that the NYPD had found during the visit just now.
After briefly sizing up the other person, Luo An motioned to the NYPD to let her in.
"snort!"
Raising her head and snorting at the NYPD through her nostrils, the white woman strode in with a bag on her shoulder.
"Just call me Luisa."
After introducing her name, Louisa's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Luo An's face.
But seeing the Trace Inspection Section agents busy in the room, Louisa asked hurriedly:
"What is going on? Where is the Tris? Where is she now?"
Luo An turned his head and gave Mona a look. Mona nodded calmly, walked aside and started to check Louisa's information.
The two of them have become more and more understanding.
"terribly sorry."
Luo An took off his gloves and replied:
"Tris was kidnapped at gunpoint this morning."
The NYPD didn't tell her this.
When he said this, Luo An stared at Louisa's facial expression.
Upon learning the news that Tris had been kidnapped, Louisa was immediately shocked, but there was nothing else wrong.
"Oh My God!"
Louisa covered her mouth and exclaimed:
"I was with her last night! We had a few drinks.
It's because she had a breakdown last night and kept crying, so I'm here now! "
"Tris is having an emotional breakdown?"
Luo An immediately grasped the key point and asked with a serious face:
"What exactly happened?"
