Chapter 521

"Is there any progress?" Returning to the FBI operations center, the place was already full of analysts just like last time.

This was the first time for Hannah to see such a busy scene in a large office. She had just reported for less than a week, and she was still accustomed to the previous mode of leading a team on her own when she was in the Los Angeles office.

Although we could also get technical support from logistics at that time, except for the monitoring teams that applied separately, most of the time, the technical logistics staff had to handle multiple cases at the same time, and it was impossible for everyone to be busy working on one case like this. situation.

The reason why the combat center established by Dana Moger can achieve this level is because most of the current technicians are not official agents.

Some of them are employees of the FBI, and some are employees of the NYPD or other departments. Each has partial authority over the database of each other's units. This is the advantage of the joint operations center, which greatly reduces the turnover of intermediate intelligence and each application. Permission time.

"The facial recognition has produced results. We searched the advertising photos on several dating platforms, uh, recruitment websites, and found Hailey's photos."

Jubal waved his hand, and an analyst projected a photo of a heavily made-up woman on the big screen. Jack frowned and recognized it for a long time before distinguishing the sexy beauty in the photo from the bruised one he had just seen in the hospital. Poor girl connected.

"As we all know, every photo has a hidden metacode, which records the camera parameters and software information used to take the photo, so we used the parameters hidden in this photo to conduct a similar search and found 9 other similar photos. Pictures of girls.”

Although the atmosphere was not very suitable, Jack still couldn't help laughing. Jubal's well-known saying was obviously to cover up his ignorance in this area. These words were obviously just popularized by others, and he couldn't help but show off at this moment. Woolen cloth.

He couldn't help but put his fist to his mouth to hide his embarrassed smile, and continued, "Then we compared all the Ukrainian visas that entered the country and found matches in all of them."

"These bastards are quite honest and did not use photo editing software, otherwise our search would be much more difficult."

Jack looked at the comparison pictures on both sides of the screen and felt his teeth itching. There were 18 corpses lying in that forest cemetery alone. Adding to Hailey's narrative, these 9 girls were just the tip of the iceberg of many victims.

"How is the investigation of the 911 call?" Hannah asked loudly. She didn't know who was responsible for this, but the advantage of the large conference room was that as long as the voice was louder, everyone could hear it. .

"The results are already there." A bespectacled analyst turned back from the computer and was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Hannah, as if he was a little surprised by her appearance.

"Well, the recording was from three days ago. The scooper did call the police, and he used his own mobile phone."

-

"Firefighter? Tsk, we can't let the NYPD guys know about this." Jack couldn't help but grinned as he looked at the caller information received on his phone. Hannah beside him nudged him with her elbow angrily. .

I don't know if the police and firefighters in every city in the United States are not dealing with it. As far as he knows, this is the case at least in the two big cities of New York and Los Angeles. The reason is unknown.

After many days, Jack met the fire captain Owen Strand who he had rescued before. After he explained his purpose, the captain's face suddenly became ugly.

"I'm going to skin this bastard."

There is a reason for Owen Strand's anger. You must know that in this country, firefighters are a very popular profession, popular in every sense, especially in terms of relationships between men and women.

Especially in New York, a fast-paced city that advocates "fast-food" dating, few girls would refuse to spend a wonderful night with a firefighter who represents masculine temperament.

<divclass="contentadv"> Owen Strand did not understand why his firefighter would behave like this, and the firefighter he called into the office alone heard two F.B.I. After hearing the news, he became even more nervous and turned pale.

"Hey, listen, we didn't come here to conduct a moral judgment on you. Captain Strand also agreed to let this matter go, as long as you answer our questions honestly, do you understand?"

Jack knew that he was worried about losing his job, so he quickly said "relieved", even though Hannah kept secretly rolling her eyes next to him.

"I just wanted to help. I'm not as good at socializing as others. I get extremely nervous every time I go on a date with a girl." The firefighter stammered as he tried to explain.

"So you just want to spend some money and skip the dating stage?" Owen Strand was so angry that his face was distorted, which means that two FBI came to the door. If it were the NYPD, he would be torn alive This guy has a lot of heart.

For the sake of this guy's conscience at the time, Jack didn't intend to go into details, even though Hailey also said that this guy was a regular customer, which meant he was a repeat offender.

"We only need the addresses. All the so-called clubs you have been to and the places where you have met Hailey. Every address must be there."

-

"So were you using psychological techniques or were you actually empathizing with that disgusting guy?"

After leaving the fire station and getting on the Saber class, Hannah couldn't help but stab Jack a little. Although she had always had confidence in this guy's integrity in some aspects and knew that he wouldn't spend money to do that kind of thing, But what if you come across one that doesn’t cost money?

"You know I've never been the one to take the initiative, how could I really empathize with that kind of guy." Jack said decisively.

Satisfied, Hannah came up to him and wanted to kiss him to apologize. She shouldn't be suspicious. After thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong. If she changed this guy's statement, didn't he mean that he would not reject anyone who came, so he changed it angrily. The bite caused someone to scream in pain.

It was Jie Jie's job to keep an eye on Jack before, but it was not difficult for Jie Jie to be transferred out of the BAU, but it would be troublesome if Jie Jie wanted to go back in the future. There was no other way. The two girls discussed it, and finally Hannah had to make the decision. The sacrifice was well-intentioned.

-

An hour later, Queens.

Although they had been mentally prepared for a long time, Jack and Hannah still couldn't hide their disappointment when they followed the FBI-SWAT team into a villa and found that there was no one inside.

"OK, got it, notify CSI to arrive. There is a lot of DNA evidence that needs to be collected."

Jack ended the call with Danny Regan, and the NYPD's raid on another townhouse in Brooklyn also failed.

Judging from the traces at the scene, the other party evacuated in a hurry and left a lot of evidence. However, both DNA analysis and evidence extraction take time, and what the coerced girls lack most now is time.

"Jack, there is a basement here." Hannah opened an inconspicuous door and found a staircase going down.

"Be careful." Jack took two quick steps and called two SWAT members to follow him.

Several people went down the stairs. The basement was so large that it almost hollowed out the entire underground part of the villa and was divided into several rooms of different sizes.
