"I'm afraid this will take a while."
The forensic doctor put his hands on his hips and explained:
“The fingerprints of Body No. 1 cannot be found in the FBI’s internal database, indicating that she has never been to prison.
At the same time, the face of corpse No. 1 was beaten to pieces by the murderer. If you want to compare the face, you have to wait for my colleague to complete the facial construction, which takes a while. "
The forensic doctor raised his right hand and made an insulting gesture with his thumb and index finger to a male from a certain country.
Considering that the facial construction technology in 2005 was not very perfect, Luo An judged that the gap between the two fingertips of the forensic doctor was probably three days.
"All right."
Luo An turned his attention to the second body of the little boy:
"What was the cause of his death?"
"The most common form of mechanical asphyxia."
The forensic doctor walked to the side of corpse No. 2 and said:
"But he has traces of being invaded by stars, and the location where he was invaded has not been restored, indicating that he was invaded by stars shortly before his death.
At the same time, according to testing, his skeletal age was 7 years old, and his death time was about one to one and a half months. Judging from the preservation of the body, he had been preserved in a low-temperature environment after his death. "
After listening to the forensic doctor's introduction, Luo An subconsciously thought of the priest in the previous case.
Shaking his head and throwing the thought aside, Luo An continued to ask:
"So, can the identity of deceased No. 2 be found out?"
"Sorry, we can't find out at the moment."
Seeing the dissatisfaction on Luo An's face, the forensic doctor was helpless and sighed and said:
“All ten fingers of corpse No. 2 were amputated by the murderer, so there are no fingerprints, and because he is too young, there is no way to compare the face.
But give us some time, my colleagues may be able to find the fingerprints of the murderer or the corpse on the box or clothes containing corpse No. 2. "
There was a hint of disappointment in Mona's eyes when she heard this, and Luo An frowned slightly. He continued to chat briefly with the forensic doctor, then turned and left the examination room.
"Mona, go back to Investigation Team No. 5 and check the surveillance of the garbage dump with William and the others to see if you can find the garbage truck that transported the two bodies.
If found, carefully check the route of the two garbage trucks and try to find where the body might have been dumped. "
"No problem, leave it to me."
Mona has always been good at computer things, so she immediately turned around with a smile and walked to the elevator not far away.
The elevator door slowly closed, and Luo An turned around and headed to another large room in the Trace Inspection Department.
At this time, in this large room, Ryder and Lacey were digging through the garbage together with several agents from the Trace Inspection Section.
"I feel like no girl is going to want to approach me for the next week."
Throwing aside a bag of kitchen waste dripping with unknown yellowish-brown liquid, Lacey said to Ryder with a twitching face:
"I'm afraid this smell can stay on the skin for a month!"
"Then you can take some rest."
Ryder chuckled and did not answer. Luo An, who pushed the door and entered the room, happened to hear these words, so he smiled and replied:
"Don't think that because you are a woman, you won't have the problem of excessive sexual indulgence. Be careful that some gynecological inflammation will come to you."
"snort."
Lacey wrinkled her nose and snorted softly. She didn't care on the surface, but she calmly recorded Luo An's words in her heart.
Recently, Lacey has found that she has been suffering from insomnia, loss of appetite, and some pain in her lower abdomen.
I went to the hospital for a checkup and the doctor didn't find anything wrong. If it was really because of my excessive indulgence...
After all, Lacey was already in her thirties, so she didn't blindly believe in Luo An, but when she went shopping with Yvonne last weekend, she found that Yvonne's complexion was obviously much better than before, and she often praised Luo An. Virtue.
Grabbing a chair and sitting next to it, Luo An asked:
"How's it going? Did you find any useful clues?"
"Trace Inspection Unit agents recently found a bloody coat."
Ryder pointed to the room next to him and said:
“The coat had marks of being stabbed with a knife, and the location of the knife edge was similar to the location of the wound of victim No. 1, so the detective from the Trace Inspection Section took the coat for a blood stain identification.
The identification results showed that the blood on the coat did belong to corpse No. 1, but no other people's fingerprints were found on the coat. "
Hearing this, Luo An was silent for a moment and raised his head and asked:
"What about the style of the coat?"
Ryder was slightly startled:
"What's the meaning?"
Lacey on the side reacted, clapped her hands and her eyes lit up:
“We still don’t know the identity of deceased No. 1.
But we can find the store that sold that coat through the style of the clothes, and then through that store, we can find the person who bought that coat, and thus find the identity of deceased No. 1! "
"That's right."
Luo An gave Lacey a satisfied look. When they were listening to the forensic doctor in the autopsy room just now, both Luo An and Mona found that the skin of corpse No. 1 was very well maintained.
The skin of white women is far less delicate than that of Asians. To be able to maintain it so well in their 60s must be due to their family situation and economic level. Such people's coats cannot be the common styles found on the street.
Luo An stood up and left the chair, pulling Lacey quickly towards the room where the coat was.
The coat was placed with other evidence related to deceased No. 1. Luo An took it out of an evidence bag and handed it to Lacey.
Lacey often goes out shopping with different women and knows much more about various brands than Roan does.
As expected, Lacey took the coat and observed it carefully. Within a few seconds, she raised her head and said confidently:
"The brand of the coat is SuperTrash, and the style is the latest this spring. Most of this brand's stores are in Manhattan!"
"very good!"
Luo An nodded and immediately returned to Investigation Team No. 5 with Lacey.
Mona, William and others were searching for surveillance, but found nothing.
Because the suburban garbage dump is in disrepair and has never made much money, the federal government has planned to sell it to a private company, so few surveillance cameras have been installed.
"What?"
For such a large garbage dump, the federal government has never made any money, and even has to subsidize it every year?
Luo An felt a little confused about this and didn't understand how the people in the federal government operated.
But this was not important. After telling William and Mona the name of the coat brand, Luo An began to ask Mona and William to carefully investigate the consumers who had purchased this style of coat.
Because this brand does not have many stores in New York, and deceased No. 1 was older, it didn’t take long for Mona and the others to find each other’s identities in a membership store:
"Flavia Farlan, 63 years old, works for the New York Department of Health and is a doctor!
Her husband has died, but he once owned a large company when he was young and left a large inheritance to Flavia Farlan after his death. "
"Good."
Luo An nodded, which could explain why Flavia Farlan was rich.
After leaving the chair and stretching, Luo An continued to ask:
"Where is Flavia Farlan's home? Do you have any close relatives living in New York?"
After tapping the keyboard a few times, Mona replied:
"Her home is on Manhattan Island and she has no close relatives. Her son also died of AIDS at the beginning of this year."
Luo An frowned slightly when he heard this, pulled Lacey into the equipment room quickly, and then drove the SUV to Flavia Farlan's home.
