Legendary FBI Detective

"Fu-k!"

After hearing Lacey's words, Roan stopped chatting with Potente Byrne and nodded at Potente Byrne, then quickly walked out of the team leader's office with the folder in hand.

In the corridor, Luo An and Lacey hurried to the elevator, asking as they walked

"What exactly happened?"

"Ten minutes ago, LAPD went to a house to investigate based on a report and found a body in the room of that house."

The two walked into the elevator together, and Lacey's face looked very ugly:

"People die or go missing every day in Los Angeles. When the LAPD doesn't see the body, they just think it's an ordinary case..."

"But the corpse's tongue disappeared, right."

After walking out of the elevator, Luo An took Lacey's words and walked quickly towards the special investigation team, asking at the same time:

"What did the victim's death scene look like? What was the cause of death?"

Lacey shook her head and followed Luo An into the special investigation team:

"I don't know. The LAPD didn't say anything. They just urged us to have people from the Trace Inspection Section handle the scene.

But I asked a female LAPD patrol officer and learned from her that several patrol officers who saw the crime scene vomited. "

"..."

Luo An's eyes twitched. He signaled Lacey to contact the Trace Inspection Department immediately. Then he looked at Mona in the office area and asked:

"Mona, how is the investigation of the first three victims going?"

"Under investigation."

Mona typed on the computer keyboard frantically and replied without raising her head:

"The first victim's name is the Speaker of Parliament, Seaman, the second victim's naval officer, and the third victim's church pastor. These two people have different surnames, but their first names are James.

On the surface, there is no connection between the three people, but they have one thing in common:

They are all very wealthy, and they also have some private information that I cannot find out for the time being. "

After contacting the Trace Inspection Department, Lacey walked out of the equipment room. After hearing Mona's words, she said casually:

"The murderer may be a rich enemy, or these three people may have done something to hurt the murderer or the murderer's family...a case of revenge or retaliation."

"There is a certain possibility."

Luo An took the equipment that Lacey handed him and put it all on his body. He said to Mona:

"You continue to search for connections between the first three victims. When Michelle comes back, ask her to go to the trace examination department and wait for the autopsy reports from the priest and the naval officer."

Mona didn't look back, picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp:

"OK."

————

The SUV speeded through the streets of Los Angeles like a black lightning bolt, and arrived at the scene of the fourth case ten minutes later.

What surprised Luo An was that the crime scene this time was not a high-end community or a middle-class single-family apartment, but an ordinary building where ordinary people in Los Angeles lived.

The kind with four or five households on one floor.

Walking to the fourth floor where the crime scene was located, Luo An's nose moved slightly and he immediately smelled an indescribable smell of blood and fishy stench. There was also a stronger smell of vomit at the entrance of the stairs.

"* # %￥……"

Luo An's expression changed, he cursed a few words under his breath, endured the discomfort, stepped forward, took out his FBI gold badge, and showed his identity to the two LAPDs at the door.

Then, under the looks of fear and admiration from the two patrol officers, Luo An and Lacey put on their professional gloves and shoe covers and slowly walked into the room.

As soon as he entered the door of the room, Luo An keenly discovered that the gap in the door of the house had been treated. It seemed that the murderer did not want the smell to spread from the room.

Continuing to walk forward, there is a bathroom on the left. There is nothing strange inside. After passing the bathroom, you will find the living room of the room.

There are three dark red sofas arranged in a Z-shaped arrangement in the living room. Opposite the sofa is a TV that has accumulated a lot of dust.

Luo An and Lacey slowly walked to the front of the largest sofa in the center. The next second, Lacey's pupils tightened and her expression changed. She covered her mouth and walked out of the room quickly.

I didn't vomit, but the impact was a bit strong and I need to slow down a bit.

I saw a middle-aged white bald man with wide eyes and a ferocious expression sitting on a dark red sofa with a white towel wrapped in his mouth and wrapped to the back of his head.

From the bald man's neck down to his lower abdomen, the entire front part of the skin including his arms had disappeared. Like a shirt, it was folded flat and placed on the coffee table in front of the victim.

And on the skinless body, many insects are crawling freely on it.

"..."

Looking at the tragic situation of the victim, Luo An frowned slightly, remained silent for a while, and began to carefully check other situations in the room.

Not long after, several agents from the Trace Inspection Section arrived here, and then...

Vomiting or not, they were professionals after all, but their faces were full of shock. After all, such crime scenes were rare.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Luo An stretched out his hand and shook it with the agent from the Trace Inspection Section, then pointed to the window of the room and said:

"The cracks in these windows were treated by the murderer, most likely to prevent the smell from escaping from the room.

If you check it carefully, you should be able to find useful clues in this regard. "

"no problem."

Looking at Luo An, who had nothing on his face and remained expressionless, the faces of several Trace Inspection Section detectives wearing masks were full of admiration.

After leaving the crime scene, Lacey immediately walked up in the corridor and briefly introduced the information she had just obtained from her neighbor:

"The victim's name is Butters. He is 39 years old. He has no wife or children. He is an alcoholic. He has brought his street stepdaughter home for the night many times. He works in a leather factory and is an ordinary worker."

"You don't sound rich."

Calmly glancing at the vomit beside the stairs, Luo An took Lacey to the window at the other end, opened the window to take a breath, and Luo An asked:

"Is there video surveillance?"

"No."

Lacey spread her hands:

“The person in charge of the building said that there was originally surveillance, but the residents in this building were doing everything.

They say that the existence of surveillance is an invasion of their privacy, so if the surveillance becomes bad one by one, over time no one will install surveillance for free and let others mess with it. "

“It’s truly a situation consistent with the liberal spirit of the Union.”

Luo An shook his head speechlessly and took a deep breath of fresh air. He didn't smell any sweetness. He patted Lacey on the shoulder and walked towards the stairs:

"Let's go back to the special investigation team first and wait until the Trace Inspection Section finishes its work."

Lacey followed Luo An quickly. On the stairs, she asked in a low voice:

"I heard from Mona that you plan to transfer five people from Bi's department to handle this case together?

How many of these five people do you plan to eventually retain in our special investigation team? "

"I don't know, it depends."

Luo An replied casually:

"Maybe one, maybe two, maybe three. Anyway, our special investigation team has seven people."

Lacey nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly thought of something, smiled and said:

"If you just call five people this time, there won't be the murderer of this case among them, right? I've seen it done this way in TV dramas."

"If there is really one person who is the murderer of this case, I will buy a lottery ticket immediately. If you win one billion, I will give you ten dollars."

After opening the door of the SUV, Luo An thought for a moment and closed it again, and said to Lacey:

"By the way, you go to the factory where Butters works to find out about the situation. Make sure you find out when Butters started losing contact."

"no problem."

Lacey nodded in agreement, immediately started the SUV and drove away.

Luo An was in no hurry to return to the special investigation team. The four victims were discovered one after another too quickly, giving him no chance to think carefully.

Luo An planned to take a walk and reflect on the circumstances of this case.
