In Queens, two kittens, one black and one white, were playing with each other at the door of a large car repair shop.
He and Lacey crossed the door and walked into the store. Ignoring the random noises, Luo An asked loudly:
"Who is the manager of this store?"
"I am!"
As soon as Luo An finished speaking, a middle-aged white man in a denim suit came over and asked:
"What do you want from me?"
"FBI, you can call me Roan."
Taking out the golden badge from his pocket and showing it to the other party, Luo An asked:
"Did you lose a new Mercedes-Benz here?"
"Yes."
Hearing Luo An's words, the middle-aged white man nodded hurriedly, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and said:
"My name is Frank Turner.
Early this morning, as soon as I came here, I found that the window at the back door was broken. "
Following Frank's direction, Roan saw a door with a hole in the lower left corner of the window.
It is not difficult to see that the murderer directly broke the glass, then reached in and unscrewed the door from the inside.
Frank took Roan and Lacey to the place where the Mercedes-Benz was parked before, and continued to explain:
“I immediately called the police when I discovered that the Mercedes-Benz had been stolen.
But the NYPD only came here to ask a few questions, record the license plate number, and then left here, leaving me to wait for news. "
Frank had encountered this kind of thing when he was young. He knew very well that there was a high probability that the Mercedes-Benz would not be recovered and he would have to lose money.
New York is a city where vehicles are lost every day, but less than one in 10 is successfully recovered.
"OK."
Looking around his head, Luo An pointed at the camera on the side and asked:
"Did the anti-theft surveillance record anything?"
"Most of them are under repair and only one is still working."
Frank regretted it so much that he would have urged the maintenance workers if he had known better.
Luo An nodded:
"Let's take a look at the surveillance."
Although there is only one camera, the area it is responsible for is between the rear door and the parking position of the Mercedes-Benz. It may be able to find something.
The surveillance video was quickly put in front of Luo An and Lacey.
The video shows that at 3:30 this morning, a dark figure walked in from the back door.
Unfortunately, the car thief did not walk through the area monitored by the camera, but walked to the Mercedes-Benz from the other side.
"Shit."
Lacey frowned, looked back at Frank next to her, and asked in a deep voice:
"How many people know that the cameras in the store are being repaired?"
Lacey felt that the murderer might be a regular customer of this store.
"this……"
When Frank heard this, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Lacey looked confused:
"Why, can't you remember?"
Frank shook his head:
"No, there are too many people who know that the camera is being repaired. I'm still counting."
Lacey: "..."
"Don't worry about the camera for now."
Before Lacey could complain with a speechless face, Luo An next to him waved, pointed at the picture in the video and asked:
"Is this black shadow on the ground one of the two cats in front of your store?"
There was no sound in the surveillance video, but when the car thief entered the hall, the shadow on the ground showed that a black figure jumped on the car thief and then quickly left the back door.
"It's not them, they're new ones I brought this morning."
Looking down at the surveillance camera, Frank looked very ugly:
"The cat on the surveillance camera is called Bush, and it's another cat.
Bush caught that bastard stealing a car and killed it with a gun. "
A cat named Bush...
Luo An raised his eyebrows, swallowed his words, looked at the shadow on the surveillance camera rushing toward the car thief, and asked in a deep voice:
"Can you please give it to us?"
In the social customs of the Federation, the status of cats, dogs and other animals is often equal to that of family members.
Because he didn't know if Frank also had this idea, Luo An asked his opinion.
"What?"
Frank was slightly startled:
"I have buried Bush, what do you want with him?"
Luo An straightened up, turned to signal Lacey to copy the surveillance video, and then explained:
"The video shows that when the car thief appeared, the car jumped on the car thief, and the murderer shot it...
So I think it is possible that it was frightened and accidentally caught the car thief with its claws. "
If this is the case, the Trace Inspection Department will have a chance to find the car thief's DNA based on the traces on the cat's claws.
Hearing Luo An's words, Lacey's eyes lit up as she was copying the surveillance video, and she hurriedly checked the surveillance video carefully.
Frank was very shocked. He was silent for a few seconds and nodded heavily in agreement:
"...OK!"
——
Three o'clock in the afternoon, No. 5 investigation team office area.
"Everyone, great news!"
While Mona, William and others were fighting with the computer keyboard, Lacey was busy handing over the Mercedes-Benz car to the NYPD, and Luo An was bored sitting on the new chair drinking coffee and spinning in circles, Ryder suddenly opened the door and ran Come in.
Seeing everyone's eyes turning to him, Ryder explained loudly:
"Luo An's judgment is indeed correct!
The trace examination department found some fresh skin tissue in Bush's two front paws!
According to laboratory tests, we found a name in the database: Rossland Lewis! "
After listening to Ryder's words, Luo An clapped his hands with a smile on his face:
"Well done, Ryder!"
"No, it's Luo An, you are awesome!"
Ryder looked at Roan with admiration. He also watched the video surveillance that Lacey brought back. Not to mention that it was pitch black and the cat's appearance was very brief.
Under such circumstances, Luo An was able to find key clues to the enemy's identity...
Ryder looked at Luo An with eyes full of gratitude, and he was also full of fighting spirit. He felt that his bonus this week was stable again.
Compared to other members of the No. 5 Investigation Team, Ryder, who has a wife and son, values the bonus after solving the case more.
Because of this, although Ryder is older than Luo An, he has subconsciously obeyed Luo An and put Luo An's orders first during the handling of the case.
After receiving the information handed over by Ryder, Luo An turned around and said:
"Mona, next..."
"I have found information about Rossland Lewis!"
Before Luo An could finish his words, Mona threw him a pair of hygiene balls.
When Ryder said the other person's name, she started looking it up.
"As expected of Mona, she is always so fast."
With a smile and turning a blind eye to Mona's rolling eyes, Luo An asked:
"What's the specific situation of this guy?"
"Roslan Lewis is 42 years old. His parents are deceased. He never went to high school. His home is in uptown Brooklyn."
Mona tapped her fingers on the keyboard and replied:
“At the age of 18, he chose to join the army and later entered a mountain division.
During some actions, Roslan behaved very cruelly, raping children and women many times, causing dissatisfaction and complaints from many teammates.
At the age of 33, Roslan retired, and subsequent information is unknown.
But according to the information, he was one of the suspects in several murder cases, but there was no evidence. Therefore, the database speculates that he should have changed his profession and become a professional killer. "
At this point, Mona was stunned:
"If Roslan is really just a killer, it means there is someone else behind this case."
Luo An nodded:
"Catch him first and then talk about it."
The performance of Union soldiers in other countries was well known, and the things Rossland did were not unheard of by other soldiers.
But Roslan could cause complaints from other soldiers... The scene at that time was probably quite unusual.
Silently raising the risk level of a psychopath like Roslan in his heart, Roan patted Ryder on the shoulder, and the two quickly walked into the equipment warehouse.
Looking at Ryder's back, William scratched his head:
"Ryder won't be hurt this time."
Mona: "..."
