"It looks like the murderer had other motives besides killing people."

Jubal glanced at the scene again, praying in his heart that it was not the worst possible situation. "Jack and Clay, you two go to the coroner's office. You know what I mean."

The two looked at each other and nodded to show that they understood. Since the first victim, Adam Weiner, might be a seal, and the murderer might know him, the other party might also be a seal.

No matter what the other party's purpose is, given the public nature of the killing at the scene, it means that more corpses will be waiting for them soon.

Of course, Jubal asked them to go to the coroner's office not to wait for the body, but hoped that they could make some judgments based on the murderer's method of killing.

Half an hour later, in front of the dissection table.

"I have never seen such a clean and neat method of killing. The knife in the abdomen directly cut the hepatic artery, and the knife in the neck cut the trachea and carotid artery at the same time. The wounds of the three victims who died from knife wounds were basically the same."

An old forensic doctor in his 50s and two assistants had to deal with so many corpses at the same time. They were so busy that they almost had to keep their feet on the ground. They didn't even look up when they spoke.

"Where is the person who was shot?" Although he already had the answer in his mind, Clay still asked without giving up.

"All of them were hit by two .45 caliber bullets in the chest or back, except Adam Weiner, who was shot in the head at close range. The method was similar to some kind of shooting technique." The old forensic doctor looked at his assistant for help.

"Mozambique shooting method." Clay replied sullenly.

"Yes, so you can reasonably suspect that the murderer has a military or law enforcement background." The old forensic doctor nodded in affirmation.

Jack drove the Audi R8 to meet up with the command vehicle. As usual, after communicating with the local police station, Jubal parked the big car in the parking lot behind the police station.

Seeing that Clay remained silent with a stern face, Jack patted the steering wheel to comfort him.

"Don't show that expression. Maybe it's PTSD, or maybe it's something else, like the influence of drugs. You can't guarantee that every SEAL and DEVGRU veteran will be able to reintegrate into society after retiring."

"No, Jack, you don't understand." Clay opened all the car windows irritably, letting the slightly chilly wind whistle in.

"Every SEAL has received special training to deal with PTSD and undergoes regular physical examinations. Even after retirement, few non-disabled soldiers will take the initiative to touch that kind of thing."

Jack knew why he was so upset. It was not that there were no SEALs who committed crimes after retirement. In fact, there were many who could not make it in life for various reasons and even committed murder and robbery.

But to be honest, joining the military is actually a good career path for Americans, especially for those who can become elite special forces.

Regardless of whether it is T2 or T1, most people can at least reach the middle class or even above in terms of income and social status after graduation.

Even if he has degenerated into a criminal, he at least starts out as a professional killer or a gold medal fighter. After all, killing skills are also a kind of skill.

What bothered Clay was not that the criminal might be his former colleague, but that it was a strife among his own people.

The more elite the troops, the greater their sense of honor. All signs now point to the possibility that the murderer is Adam Weiner's former colleague when he was a SEAL, which he finds unacceptable.

“The killer we are looking for is a strong man, aged between 30 and 40, most likely a retired soldier, armed and extremely dangerous.

He is likely to strike again, the target is unknown but it should be soon."

When Jack and Clay arrived at the police station, Jiejie was releasing profiles to the police officers. "Releasing profiles so quickly, um, it seems like we haven't done this for a long time." Jack remembered that the last time they released profiles to the local police was in South Korea, when they were dealing with a female serial killer obsessed with plastic surgery.

Most of the time, the wanted criminal team deals with dangerous elements whose identities are clear. Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, the identity of the murderer this time should be found out soon.

Jubal received the call on their way back and explained.

"The only company employee who was not present has been cleared as a suspect: John Irving, who was attending a Doctor Who fan meeting in San Diego.

Alice found his leave application from a month ago in the company system. I have to say he is a lucky guy. "

"Have those company contracts been reviewed?" Jack thought of the documents scattered all over the floor in the CEO's office.

Aubrey nodded. "Those are just backup copies. We checked all the electronic contracts. Except for the letter of intent with DIA, there is nothing particularly sensitive."

"Defense Intelligence Agency?" When Jack heard this word, he subconsciously thought of a company called "New Age Technology".

"It has been confirmed. It is indeed just a letter of intent. 'Senalock' is an emerging cybersecurity company with a good reputation in the industry. Alice checked the company's past records.

Although some projects are related to the Department of Defense, it only shows that CEO Adam Weiner has a good relationship with the Navy, and the level of confidentiality is not enough to cause such a fatal disaster. "

Aubrey hesitated after he finished speaking, and moved closer to the two of them and lowered his voice and said, "Alice also checked Adam Weiner's service record, and it said that he only served as a communications soldier in an anti-aircraft missile unit of the Navy. Is it possible that you are wrong?"

"The Navy Cross is the highest-level medal of the Navy. Above that is the Medal of Honor, which is available to all branches of the military. Can you tell me how an ordinary communications soldier could receive such an honor in 2019, a year of peace?"

Jack looked at this guy who lacked "common sense" with disdain.

“We have temporarily ruled out any company-related reasons for this massacre, and the other employees of ‘Senalock’ can currently be considered collateral damage.

Hannah is meeting with CEO Adam Weiner's family in hopes of getting a list of suspects."

Jubal finished talking about the current progress and then looked at Jack, "I think you need to contact NICS. They may know something."

Jack looked at the time and nodded, "It's not far from here to Washington. I plan to go directly to the Navy Yard."

He then gestured to Jiejie, "I'd also like to trouble our liaison officer to accompany me."

The naval compound that Jack mentioned is the Washington Navy Yard, located southeast of Washington DC and currently the administrative center of the Navy.

The office of the United States Naval Criminal Investigative Service, or NCIS, is located here. A tall and thin middle-aged man who does not look old but has a head full of white hair received two visiting FBI agents.
