"What?"
After hearing Mona's words, Lacey hurriedly asked:
"Why do you say that?"
"Connor Trenner, 22 years old, a student at a community college in New York, majoring in chemistry."
Mona on the other end of the liaison introduced:
“When Connor Trenner was in college, his parents were both killed in a street shooting on Christmas Eve.
Since then, Connor-Trenner has joined political groups opposed to gun bans. "
"..."
Hearing this, Luo An looked strange and scratched his head.
The cause and effect of this incident, as well as Connor Trenner's mental journey, seemed to him to be a bit ridiculous.
But considering this is the Federation, it seems reasonable.
"Not only that, Connor Trenner was very active on social media after Congressman Emanuel's death."
The sound of typing on the keyboard came from the communicator, while Mona's introduction came:
"Not only did he praise this incident and insult Congressman Emanuel, he also loudly called on people in the organization to do the same in the future in the forum. Only in this way can they successfully change this society."
As soon as Mona finished speaking, William's voice came from the communicator again:
“In addition, according to Connor Trenner’s credit card spending records, he recently purchased a large amount of gasoline and foam.
Moreover, thirty minutes before the political organization Kermit joined was ignited, he was seen on the surveillance camera of a store not far away. "
"Well done."
After leaving the hospital building, the two quickly walked into the SUV. Luo An asked while fastening his seat belt:
"Where is Connor Trenner now?"
Mona's fingers flew on the keyboard and she quickly answered:
"According to credit card records, Connor-Trenner rented a warehouse in the Hackensack area of New Jersey for three months.
Surveillance video from the highway in that area shows that Connor Trenner went there this morning and has not left yet! "
"Ryder, contact the SWAT team and trace inspection department immediately! We will meet at the warehouse later!"
Upon hearing this, Luo An immediately made arrangements loudly:
"In addition, other agents of Investigation Team 5 are always paying attention to the area where the warehouse is located and the specific situation of Connor Trenner!"
"no problem!"
After the liaison officer finished speaking, Ryder roared and immediately rushed into the equipment warehouse.
"Leave it to us!"
William and other technical agents also responded loudly, and then began to tap the keyboard frantically.
After Lacey fastened her seat belt, Luo An stepped on the accelerator and the SUV immediately rushed out.
——
Forever Clean Warehouse in the Hackensack, NJ area.
The dark personnel carrier slowly came to a stop, and Ryder and a team of heavily armed SWAT operators, as well as two agents from the Trace Inspection Section, quickly stepped out.
"That's pretty fast, Ryder."
Luo An smiled and walked up to exchange fists with Ryder. Next to him, Lacey came over with a middle-aged white woman and introduced:
"This is Vanessa, the manager of this warehouse."
"Hello, Mr. Agent."
Vanessa stretched out her hand and shook it with Luo An, showed the information in her hand, and said:
"The person you are looking for is at No. 162, Area E3, but there is some lack of lighting in that area."
"Thanks."
Luo An smiled and took the information handed over by the other party, glanced at it briefly, and immediately led Ryder and the SWAT team members to the target area.
Lacey did not participate this time because Luo An arranged other tasks for her.
Seeing Roan Ryder and others slowly disappearing, Lacey turned her head and asked:
"Manager Vanessa, where is the control room? Can you see the scene in Area E3?"
"The control room is not far away, please come with me."
Hearing Loresi's words, Vanessa immediately stretched out her hand and led her to the monitoring room not far away, and explained at the same time:
"Our surveillance covers all areas, and of course the E3 area can also see it."
"very good."
The two walked into the surveillance room, and under Vanessa's instruction, the security guard immediately pulled up the surveillance footage from the E3 area.
By this time, Luo An, Ryder and the SWAT team members had arrived in the area and divided into two teams to block all the roads to the left and right of container No. 162.
After confirming that everyone was ready, Luo An raised his left hand and counted down three. Then one of the SWAT team members immediately opened the container door, and Ryder led the remaining team members to file in immediately.
"do not move!"
"hands up!"
"Put your stuff down!"
The container was brightly lit, and a young white man was sitting at a table busy.
The sudden intrusion of people startled the young white man, and he subconsciously stood up and raised his hands.
But when he saw the white words on the bodies of the SWAT team members, the white young man's expression changed. He suddenly remembered something and was immediately ready to smash the thing in his right hand to the ground.
Ryder at the front raised his eyebrows instantly when he saw this, and immediately stretched out his arms in a grappling posture to prepare to control the opponent.
puff!
"ah--"
The next second, a white light flashed in front of Ryder, and then the wailing of the white youth suddenly sounded in the container.
Ryder reacted quickly and immediately grabbed the thing he was about to throw from the white youth's hand. Then he realized that the white light was a metal fork used for eating. At this time, it was firmly inserted into the white youth's right palm.
The white young man covered his right hand and howled loudly. Although his face was very distorted, it was still clear that he was indeed Connor Trenner.
Ryder twitched the corner of his mouth and looked back. The expressions on the faces of all the SWAT members were the same as his, and they all looked at Luo An in surprise.
Luo An, who was standing at the door of the container, smiled at everyone, threw aside the other metal forks he picked up at the door of the container, waved his hand and said:
"Stop watching, take Connor Trenner away immediately, and then let the people from the Trace Inspection Department inspect this container!"
"OK!"
After hearing Luo An's order, several SWAT team members put away the admiration on their faces and immediately carried Connor Trenner out of the container, replaced by two agents from the Trace Inspection Section.
"Standard Molotov cocktail making laboratory."
The two Trace Inspection Section detectives carefully inspected the items in the container and said to Luo An after a long time:
“To put it simply, the production materials here and the completed Molotov cocktail production technology are 80% the same as the Molotov cocktails left at the two crime scenes.
The specific results can only be determined after thorough inspection and comparison by the Trace Inspection Department laboratory. "
Hearing this, Ryder showed a smile on his face:
"So, Connor Trenner is the murderer of this arson and murder case."
"No, he's just the guy who made the Molotov cocktails."
Next to him, Luo An shook his head. He pointed to several completed Molotov cocktails on the ground and the remaining materials and said:
"Judging from the remaining materials here, the other party should have made several more bottles of Molotov cocktails, but they are not here now.
So Connor Trenner should have an accomplice. "
The smile on Ryder's face froze, and he was just about to say something when Lacey suddenly walked in from the door of the container.
"You're right."
Handing the laptop to Ryder, Lacey said that Luo An asked her to check the surveillance just now, and she found out:
"In addition to Connor Trenner, there was also a guy wearing a hoodie who came to the container and took several boxes from here.
But the other person was wearing a mask all the time, and the other person’s face couldn’t be clearly seen in the picture. "
Looking at the dark surveillance video on the computer, Ryder frowned. Luo An thought for a while and asked:
"What about the surveillance outside the warehouse? Did you take any pictures of how the other party left here?"
"This one was actually captured."
Lacey nodded and pulled up another surveillance video, which showed Hoodie opening a white car and driving away.
"Have William look into the license plate of this car."
Stuffing the computer back into Ryder's arms, Luo An strode out of the container:
"Also, go back to Investigation Team 5 and interrogate Connor Trenner!"
