The SUV sped toward the Jacobs Federal Building.
Mona was sitting in the passenger seat, scratching her head while looking at the small book in her hand. Luo An, who was beside him, turned the steering wheel, drove the SUV to quickly overtake a car, and asked in a solemn voice:
"Have you found out the identity of the big-bellied white man we arrested yesterday?"
"Of course, and I also figured out why he went to see Roslan yesterday."
Mona nodded, opened her laptop, typed a few times and said:
"That guy is a killer broker named Adam, and he has worked with Roslan before.
He went to see Ruslan yesterday because he had an order to ask if he would take it.
The order to kill Tris was Roslan's private job, and Adam didn't know it. "
"OK."
Just as Luo An was about to continue asking questions, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Pressing the answer button, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone:
"It's me, Lacey."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lacey and Ryder had been guarding Roseland last night, which was really hard.
The two exchanged brief greetings, and then Luo An asked:
"How's it going? Did Roslan confess?"
"No, he didn't say anything."
In the hospital corridor, Lacey looked at Roslan lying on the hospital bed with an angry face, and gritted her teeth and said:
"No matter what method Ryder and I use, Roslan will not say who asked him to kill Tris and Loel."
Hearing this, Mona in the passenger seat frowned.
She didn't understand why the mastermind behind the scenes had someone kill Ruslan with a sniper shot, but Ruslan still chose not to confess.
Luo An, who was driving, nodded expressionlessly:
"Pretty much what I thought."
"What's the meaning?"
Mona and Lacey suddenly looked confused when they heard this.
Luo An did not show off, and explained in a way that he could save others by himself:
“This shows that the pressure on Roslan from behind the scenes is far greater than the pressure we put on him.
In other words, Roslan felt that if he didn't confess and go to jail, he might have a chance to survive.
If he confesses, even with the help of the FBI, Roslan feels that he will not escape death. "
This was a new thought that came to Roan's mind after hearing Trent's words just now.
"Fu-k!"
“Son of better than eating!”
Mona and Lacey cursed.
But they all also realized a problem, that is, the man behind the scenes may be more powerful than they imagined.
"Lacey, you and Ryder should go back to Investigation Team 5 first."
Glancing at Mona, who was sitting in the passenger seat with a gloomy expression, Luo An's expression remained unchanged and he hung up the phone.
——
Investigation Team No. 5, office area.
"Everyone!"
Standing at the front of the office area, Luo An held a folder and said loudly to the eyes of the agents:
“According to the description of the male victim’s brother, Therese Perez was the real leader of the cosmetics company.
So next, we will carefully explore all the information about Tris.
The information this time must be detailed!
We not only need to know where Tris was born and which university she went to, but we also need to know the people she has come into contact with, who they are, which hotels she has stayed in in recent years, where she has traveled, and Who are her phone contacts? "
"clear!!!"
After hearing Luo An's request, Mona, William and other technical agents all felt numb, but they still agreed loudly.
Seeing everyone's fingers starting to dance on the computer keyboard, Luo An nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Augustus:
"Sir, I need your help with something."
Augustus' mouth twitched when he heard this.
It was said to be a request, but Luo An's tone clearly did not mean for him to refuse.
Who is the chief?
But Augustus didn’t care about this matter. After all, solving the case was important, so he asked directly:
"What's up?"
"I want to check the financial status of the cosmetics company Tris works for."
Luo An replied:
“But none of us in Investigation Team 5 are well versed in this aspect.
And Tris is the chief financial officer herself, so the accounts she makes are definitely difficult to check, so we need someone to help. "
Based on all the previous clues, Luo An now seriously suspected that the cosmetics company had financial problems.
For example, Tris touched money that she shouldn’t have touched.
In order not to alert the enemy, we cannot apply for a search warrant now and can only investigate secretly.
Hearing Luo An's words, Augustus rolled his eyes, smiled and nodded in agreement:
"OK, leave it to me."
Looking at Luo An standing at the front of the office area with his arms akimbo, and August striding away from the No. 5 Investigation Team, Mona, William and other agents looked strange.
Who is the leader of Investigation Team No. 5?
When Lacey and Ryder finally drove back from the hospital, they saw this scene:
In the office area of Investigation Team No. 5, all the agents were sweating profusely and typing on their computer keyboards.
In the conference room, seven or eight large boxes were stacked on top of each other. Augustus, a thin middle-aged white woman, and several young men and women in black suits were busy frantically among piles of paper and computers.
Luo An, on the other hand, was sitting at his workstation, holding a folder and circling around, occasionally taking a sip of coffee.
Lacey, Ryder: "..."
A few hours later, Mona, William and other technical agents finally roughly investigated Tris's entire experience from her birth to the present, as well as who she had come into contact with and what their identities were.
"Well done!"
Luo An stood up and left his chair, strode to the front of the office area, pulled a whiteboard and asked:
"How's it going? Did you find anything wrong?!"
"I discovered something!"
William raised his hands and said loudly:
“The information shows that Tris was an orphan and grew up in a church in California.
But that church was demolished due to some cases a few years ago. The information inside showed that Tris left there when she was four years old, and the adopter was a white woman.
When Tris was in school, her records showed that she had been attending church. "
"So Tris actually had a hiatus of who-knows-where."
Luo An nodded, wrote this point on the whiteboard, then turned around and continued to ask:
"Any more?"
"I also found a special place here."
Mona raised her hand and said:
"Since Tris came to New York at the age of 30, every three months, from the 25th to the 29th, she will leave New York by plane and go to California."
"What happened? Where did you go?"
Lacey on the side leaned her head over and said doubtfully:
"Los Angeles? Hollywood?"
Seeing that everyone turned their attention to her, Mona explained:
"According to the information, the place she went to was Malibu."
Malibu, located west of Los Angeles, is famous for its sandy beaches and sunshine.
This is an area densely populated with high-end residential buildings, a favorite place for celebrities, surfers and people with dreams. It has been the filming location for many American movies since the 1950s.
Lacey scratched her head:
"So, Tris goes there for a vacation every three months to relax?"
"I'm afraid not."
Thinking of what William said just now, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and had a guess in his mind, so he asked:
"Mona, can you find out where Tris went in Malibu? Who was she with during those days?"
Luo An felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.
