Barry repaired files through hacking methods and found an email address on Vivian's computer. Using this address and key, Barry cracked Vivian's email and obtained several deleted emails. Encrypted.
But this doesn't bother Barry.
To be honest, sometimes Kai is curious, no matter how you look at it, boys like Barry are the best, right? He studied medicine himself and even passed the medical qualification examination. Then he joined the police station as a forensics officer, and he was very, very professional. At the same time, he also knows various high-end computer technologies, and is also a top tech geek.
Put these characters together, and you are truly a young talent!
But just like that, this guy actually doesn’t have a girlfriend... Can you believe it?
If other people had this condition, they would probably play music every night.
Back to the topic, after cracking the email, I found that it was the email between Vivian and the "American" who leaked NSA secrets. There was nothing important in it, mostly greetings, but there was always a place mentioned in it, "Riven Baker" 'Hotel,' in the last email, the 'American' asked Vivian to wait for him in Room 43 of the hotel.
After learning this clue, Kai immediately took people to the hotel.
This hotel is not in Los Angeles, but in Santa Barbara. It is a very retro hotel, located in the woods, very secluded. According to ordinary people's imagination, if the hotel is opened in this damn place, the business will definitely be very poor. In fact, it's quite the opposite. This hotel is very 'popular'.
The reason why this welcome is in quotation marks is that these customers who like this hotel don't really want to be exposed here.
The main service of this hotel is privacy!
It is absolutely private. No records are required to check into this hotel. They do not accept any form of payment other than cash. They do not monitor or even communicate. This hotel has installed a signal jammer and any communication equipment is not available. It's all decorations here.
The service staff here are also required not to have any communication with customers. They only need to write down what the customers need. When the customers are in the room, the waiters are also prohibited from entering. Even if they deliver food, they will only be delivered to the door. , and then the service staff will leave immediately.
In a word, everything is for privacy.
This is a private holy place for those in Luo City who eat men and women secretly.
Of course, this is just convenient for the murderer.
The rooms here have been soundproofed to ensure maximum privacy. Even if there is rock music inside, the neighbors can't hear it.
When Kai and the others entered Room 43, they encountered an uninvited guest.
Remember that NSA agent Gale who broke into the police station and planned to take over the case?
"Hi! Officer Wayne, do we meet again?"
"I remember I said that the NSA is not allowed to spy on us, right?" Kai's expression immediately became dangerous. The NSA people actually arrived at the scene one step faster than them! Kai immediately thought that they were being monitored.
Agent Gale immediately raised his hands and said: "Wait, you seem to have misunderstood something. We did not intervene in the murder case, and we have no intention of breaking the agreement. We are just doing our job, and we only want the traitor. So, You investigate your murderer, and I will perform my duties. Don't offend the river, and everyone will be safe."
Kai was noncommittal.
Just let Barry lead the inspection of the entire room.
There are no useful clues left in Room 43. There were no clues except for the semen stains all over the bed and the blood stains on the curtains. Perhaps the NSA wiped out all the clues one step ahead.
—————
Because in this house, apart from the fingerprints of some temporary residents, the most they contain are the fingerprints of Agent Gale.
"Does this mean you won't hinder our investigation?" Kai pointed to the room and asked in an extremely unhappy tone.
"Believe me, we are professionals. I can guarantee that everything here is exactly the same as when I came here. After all, it has been at least more than three weeks since Vivian entered here last time. How many people are there in the meantime? Only God knows who has been in here," Agent Gale assured.
"But you..." Barry pointed to the troubleshooting system on the computer and the image of the Gaelic Agent Team popped up four times in a row, angrily accusing him of sabotaging the scene.
But Kai stopped him.
"The NSA's outstanding agents are probably the best at cleaning up traces, right?"
"That's our job. Our job involves not letting anyone notice us."
"That's great." Kai said and took out the handcuffs. "You are suspected of murder, so why don't you come with me?"
Gale was obviously a little confused. He shouted: "Officer Wayne! I was just doing my job and didn't intentionally damage the scene."
"Yeah, an NSA agent would be so careless about leaving his fingerprints at a crime scene... Do you think I would believe it? Also, you said it yourself, the NSA has stopped monitoring us. Well, can you tell me how you found this place before us?"
"Of course we have our sources!"
"Then tell me your source!" Kai said with a sneer. "But when your deputy director told me that the NSA did not kill Vivian, I was basically certain that it was not the NSA. As he said, the NSA was not that rough and would keep the body for our police. At the same time, they didn’t find what they wanted, which means they were not there when Vivian was killed. So tell me, who else besides us would know that Vivian had been here? "
The reason is simple. If the NSA gets something, Vivian will be of little use. When the time comes, you can either silence them or let them go directly. It was not the Western District Police Station's turn to discover the body. Then the next step is simple. If the NSA did not kill Vivian, then who is left who knows where Vivian was killed?
Only the murderer!
The NSA did not spy on Kai and the others, and Kai came here as soon as he learned of the clues. Except for the murderer who knows the crime scene, no one can be faster than Kai and the others!
Plus fingerprints from the scene.
As Gale said just now, they are professionals. There is no such thing as leaving fingerprints at the scene. Is it difficult to wear gloves?
So why did Gale still leave his fingerprints, and why did he do it in front of the police?
"You want to eliminate suspicion by contaminating the scene so that you can give a reasonable explanation for the presence of your fingerprints at the scene. Is that right, Mr. 'American'?"
Gale's face turned ugly long before Kai said those inferences. When Kai said the codename 'American', the calmness he had barely maintained completely collapsed!
"I do not know what you're talking about?"
"You know." Kai said with a smile: "Actually, I don't care whether you are treasonous or not. It's not my business anyway. In fact, I quite like how you made the NSA gang go crazy. But it’s not okay to kill someone, and it’s still within my jurisdiction!”
Others also looked shocked.
"You have no evidence!"
It has been shown on TV that suspects who say this will basically be crucified.
The truth is pretty much the same.
"I really lack evidence." The evidence here has been contaminated, and Kay can't prove to the court when exactly Gale left his fingerprints here. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the judge will tell the jury not to admit this evidence. In addition, Gale is professional enough. Although there may be omissions, there will basically be no evidence left that can crucify him.
That’s what I hate about pros.
"But the problem is, the NSA doesn't need evidence!" Kai said with a smile: "They don't even need to check. After all, no matter how secretive your whereabouts are, it will leave traces. Plus, you do have access to those confidential documents. . As long as you have these, it is enough for your colleagues to convict you."
What is NSA? It's an intelligence agency! This kind of organization is not the police. It only needs evidence to convict someone. For them, having enough suspicion is enough for them to do something.
"I think it's better for you to take it easy, since you have too many lice anyway. Do me a favor and let me close the case before I get silenced by the NSA." Kai grabbed his hand and cuffed him. "Of course, you can refuse. But I believe that the NSA will help me handle this matter. After all, you know a lot of secrets, and the NSA will not let you be in my hands for too long."
With Kai's current deterrent effect on the NSA, if Kai insists on taking Gale into custody and does not hand him over to the NSA, the NSA has no good solution. So in order to get Gale in its hands as soon as possible, the NSA will accept Kai's request. Anyway, once the person is in the hands of the NSA, he can give any confession he wants.
