Manhattan Island, Greenwich Village.
The dark SUV slowly parked on the side of the road. Lacey got out of the car, looked at the huge single-family apartment in front of her, and patted Luo An on the shoulder:
"Luo An, it seems like this isn't very far from your home, right?"
Luo An looked at the big house in front of him, which was at least three times more spacious than his small apartment, and nodded.
Flavia Farlan's home is in the southernmost part of Greenwich Village, and Roan's home is in the northernmost part of Greenwich Village. It seems that the distance from south to north is very far, but in fact it is only a few minutes' walk.
The two Trace Inspection Section agents who followed closely behind opened the door of Flavia Farlan's house through technical means. Luo An entered Flavia Farlan's house and went straight to the study.
Lacey went straight to the bedroom as usual. Luo An opened his mouth when he saw this, but in the end he didn't say much.
I wonder if her lesbian attributes will activate again this time.
When Luo An opened the door and entered the study, he saw a few piles of documents on the table that were taller than any person.
Luo An flipped through it and found that it contained some medical cases and medical knowledge. Then he found a locked cabinet under the desk.
He quietly opened the cabinet, and inside was a thick folder filled with personal information and photos of some people.
Luo An checked carefully and found that the people in the folder had one thing in common, that is, they were all infected with AIDS.
After seeing Flavia Farlan’s records, many people in the folder were infected with AIDS through their surnames. Then I thought about how I had come into contact with several women when I first came to this world...
Luo An's face tightened and he decided to go back to the hospital for a test. It didn't cost much anyway.
"Roan, I found something."
At this moment, Lacey opened the door and walked in.
Seeing that she only had a mobile phone in her hand, Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:
"what's the situation?"
Lacey said that she found Flavia Farlan's cell phone in her bedroom. After opening the phone, she found that the other party had been in frequent contact with a person recently. That person was her colleague and had now arrived here.
"OK."
Luo An nodded and handed the folder in his hand to Lacey.
"what?"
Lacey was a little confused, but opened the folder anyway.
Luo An talked about his plan to go back to the hospital, and then asked Lacey if she wanted to come with him.
Although HIV is not spread through saliva, communication between women goes beyond kissing.
What if a woman is infected with AIDS and accidentally gets a bloody wound on her body, and Lacey accidentally comes into contact with the other person's blood...
The odds of this series of events are indeed low, but the number of women Lacey has come into contact with is too large, and her emotional life is much richer than Luo An's.
Sure enough, Lacey opened the folder and her face turned green when she saw the contents. She immediately nodded and decided to go to the hospital with Luo An for a blood test.
It didn't take long for Flavia Farlan's colleagues to arrive here, and they also brought two thicker folders.
"Hello, just call me Lina."
Flavia Farlan's colleague, a white woman in her forties, handed the folder to Lacey. When Roan asked her about Flavia Farlan's recent work, she replied:
"Since her son died of AIDS, Flavia has focused her work on treating AIDS patients, providing them with help, and finding the source of AIDS patients."
Lina said that many people actually did not know that they were infected with AIDS, so Flavia investigated people who had had close contact with AIDS patients and then told them and their families about the possibility.
"Wait a moment."
Luo An frowned when he heard this and interrupted the other party:
"You mean, Flavia will ignore the request of an AIDS carrier and directly tell the other person's family about this?"
"That's right."
Lina nodded, with a complicated expression on her face.
Luo An and Lacey looked at each other, their expressions changed slightly, and they both understood each other's thoughts.
Being infected with AIDS is frowned upon even in a relatively open place like the Federation, and AIDS patients are often discriminated against, scorned and disgusted by others.
Flavia's original intention was to protect the safety of the families of people living with HIV, and she hoped that family members could help people living with HIV and overcome this difficulty together.
But in fact... the first feeling that the word AIDS gives people is always fear.
Angry parents, disgusted wives and children, and shunned by colleagues and friends are the true portrayal of what AIDS patients face most of the time.
In addition, the people of the Federation also attach great importance to the right to privacy. Flavia's behavior is obviously gambling with her own life on the kindness of others.
But judging from the current situation, Flavia obviously lost the bet.
Luan did not discuss whether Flavia's behavior was right or wrong. He asked directly:
"Has Flavia received threatening calls recently?"
"You should ask me if she has ever received any threatening calls."
Lena sighed and said that since Flavia started doing this, the phone in her office has been ringing multiple times a day.
"In addition to the people who called her to scold her, there were also people who wrote threatening letters."
Lina pointed to the two ultra-thick folders she brought. One of them was full of threatening letters sent by others, and the other folder contained information about Flavia's HIV status that had been detected. .
“There’s a fine line between violating privacy and preventing AIDS.”
Luo An knew what those threatening letters would contain without reading them. After thinking about it, he asked:
"Do you know how Flavia investigated the connections between these AIDS patients? Field visits or other means?"
“The main thing is on-site visits, but there are also other means.”
Lina replied:
"Flavia has a brown notebook that she usually carries in her red handbag. That notebook records the entire process of her investigation.
Every time Flavia wrote a name on it, 80% of the people who checked it were already infected with HIV, so we often jokingly called that notebook "the book from hell." "
"Red handbag and brown notebook?"
Lacey frowned when she heard this. They didn't see these two items. She turned to look at Luo An. Luo An thought that Flavia's wallet and other personal belongings had disappeared, so he nodded and said:
"There is a high probability that it was taken away by the murderer."
————
In the afternoon of that day, Investigation Team No. 5, office area.
Ryder was distributing several folders brought back by Roan and Lacey. August stood at the front, briefly introduced Flavia's situation, and said loudly:
"Everyone, the murderer who killed Flavia was most likely an AIDS patient who had been in contact with her. What you have in your hands is the personal information of these patients.
Our next goal is to carefully investigate and find the murderer among these people! "
The total number of people in the folders was nearly 200, and there were nearly a hundred threatening letters on the other side. After Ryder finished distributing them, William looked at the more than 40 pieces of paper on his desk and his mouth suddenly twitched.
Ryder smiled when he saw this. Fortunately, he was not a technical agent.
However, when he turned around and saw that Roan and Lacey's seats were empty at this time, Ryder was suddenly a little confused. He had not heard that there was a new mission.
August picked up the coffee and took a sip:
"The two of them just asked for leave from me to deal with some personal matters."
Mona next to her also looked puzzled: "??!!"
