Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 367 The real cause of death, clues

 At the crime scene, next to the SUV, Luo An looked confused when he heard Mona's words.

Mona on the other end of the phone didn’t waste time to sell her off, and went on to explain:

“When you went to the scene, I checked the surveillance cameras in that area, and all of them were damaged. They are still in the repair stage, so I can’t find out what happened in that apartment at all.”

 “This area?”

Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:

“How big is this area?”

“It’s not big, it just happens to be in this community where you are, and the two communities on the left and right next to it.”

Mona had a smile on her face:

 “Quite a coincidence, isn’t it?”

 “Indeed, what a coincidence.”

 Luo An nodded with interest, and then said:

“I’ll leave the clues in this area to you, I believe you.”

"no problem."

Mona agreed loudly, hung up the phone and immediately started typing on the keyboard.

Seeing Luo An put away his phone, Lacey turned sideways and asked:

 “What do we do next?”

 “Go and visit the neighbours.”

 Luo An pointed to another apartment not far away and said:

“I just heard a dog barking over there. Maybe there will be some surprises for us there.”

 “OK.”

 Lacie nodded and immediately walked towards the neighbor's house with Luo An.

　　——

 The next day, Tuesday, at 9:30 am, the office area of ​​the special investigation team.

Luo An crossed his legs on the desk, leaned back on the chair, and was watching the TV news in front of the office area.

 The content in the news was the scene of Speaker Seaman being murdered, and the team leader Potente Byrne standing in front of reporters and responding to their questions.

Roan and Lacey went to the leader's house last night, and it turned out that he had indeed heard right, there was indeed a dog there.

But there is only one dog. The neighbor’s family has been away from the community for the past few days, and the dog has been temporarily handed over to the care of the community management staff. The management staff did not see any useful clues at all.

It is possible that the puppy saw or heard the clue, but unfortunately no one knew what it was talking about, so Luo An had to keep it as a way to identify the murderer in the future.

Today, Lacey went to Speaker Seaman's office to look for clues. Michelle went to the Trace Inspection Department to wait for the autopsy report. Mona sat on the chair and continued to type on the keyboard.

 From last night’s busy work until now, Mona has only slept for five hours, but she has not found any clues.

Seeing Mona's angry face, Luo An handed her a cup of coffee, walked up to her, squeezed her shoulder, and comforted:

 “Don’t worry, there will always be clues.”

"Um."

Mona picked up the coffee and took a sip, nodded, and continued to fight with the computer.

　　　…”

Luo An's mouth twitched slightly when he saw this. He thought about it and prepared to buy more delicious food at noon.

At this moment, the door to the office area of ​​the Special Investigation Team was pushed open, and Michelle walked in with two folders:

“The autopsy report from the trace examination department and the crime scene inspection report have both come out.”

"Thanks for your hard work."

Roan then handed Michelle a cup of coffee, sat back on the chair, and asked:

 “What is the specific situation?”

"The crime scene trace inspection department found no hair, footprints, fingerprints, etc. of the third party. There were no signs of damage to the glass doors and windows of the apartment. The door locks of the front and rear doors were also normal. There were only Speaker Seaman and Aiden on the door handles. fingerprints."

 Michelle picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, sat on his chair, and said seriously:

“The Trace Inspection Department determined that Speaker Seaman should have opened the door himself and brought the murderer into the apartment.”

"It seems that the murderer is a person who made Speaker Seaman unprepared. Maybe he is an acquaintance or a staff member in some field." Luo An analyzed a few sentences with his chin on his lips, and then looked at Michelle:

"continue."

 Michelle opened the second folder and introduced:

"The autopsy report shows that the forensic doctor found traces of being hit with a stick on the back of Speaker Seaman's head, bruises caused by rope binding on his wrists, and traces of pinholes on the elbows. A small amount of Nikshami was found in the speaker's body."

 Hearing the word Nikeshami, Luo An frowned slightly:

“If I remember correctly, Nikeshamide seems to be a substance used to stimulate the central nervous system.”

 “That’s right.”

 The expression on Michelle’s face was very solemn:

“The Trace Inspection Section determined that after entering the room, the murderer first knocked down Speaker Seaman with a stick, then tied him up with a rope, and then injected Speaker Seaman with a stimulant-like drug.”

 “Where is the murder weapon?”

Luo An continued to ask:

“Human bones are very hard. It is not an easy task to break Speaker Seaman into two parts. What tool did the murderer use? A chainsaw or a chainsaw?”

“The Trace Inspection Department determined that it was a bone-chopping knife.”

 Michelle took out a few photos from the folder and handed them to Luo An and said:

“The forensic doctor found traces of chopping with a cleaver on the bones. In addition, the forensic doctor speculated that Speaker Seaman was not dead when the murderer struck because he was injected with stimulant drugs.

The real cause of Speaker Seaman's death was not excessive blood loss, but huge fear. "

“In other words, Speaker Seaman was frightened to death by the murderer’s methods and the pain on his body.”

After briefly looking at the photo that Michelle handed over, Luo An, with an ugly face, put it aside.

It's not that Luo An feels uncomfortable with the scene in the photo, but Luo An really can't figure out how much hatred the murderer and Speaker Seaman have, so he would use such cruel methods.

After a few seconds of silence, Luo An left his chair and walked to the front of the office area. He forgot to return the whiteboard to Investigation Team No. 4. He picked up a pen and began to write and draw. While writing, he said:

“Even if you use a bone-cutting knife, cutting off bones is not an easy task. The murderer is quite strong, butchers, doctors, retired soldiers, etc. are all possible.

 Judging from the surveillance near the crime scene and the fact that the murderer left no useful clues at the scene, the murderer also has very sharp and excellent counter-investigation capabilities... This guy is definitely not an ordinary person. "

Mona was immersed in the computer without looking up. Michelle nodded repeatedly to show that Luo An’s judgment was correct, and then added:

“And there is definitely a lot of hatred between the murderer and Speaker Seaman, otherwise the murderer would have no need to choose such a time-wasting method to commit murder.”

"you're right."

Luo An frowned in thought while holding a whiteboard pen. After pondering for a long time, he took out his mobile phone and called Lacey:

 “How is the investigation going on over there?”

"not so good."

In Speaker Seaman’s office, Lacey felt very headache looking at the pile of documents in front of her, and said helplessly:

“Speaker Seaman has done too many things since he entered politics. It is impossible to find out the people who have interest disputes with him. If we look at his enemies alone, they are basically all over Los Angeles..."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Luo An also knew that the interpersonal relationships between people like Speaker Seaman must be quite complicated, so he directly asked Lacey to take all the documents in Speaker Seaman's office and bring them back to the Special Investigation Team. Those who could not be taken simply recorded the person who blocked them. Identity, go back and check carefully.

Just as Luo An hung up the phone, Michelle raised her phone and said:

“Ms. Corinna, who is related to Speaker Seaman, has been found by the LAPD and sent to us.”

“Good, take her upstairs immediately. I’ll wait for her in the interrogation room.”

"OK."

 Michelle immediately stood up and left the office area of ​​the Special Investigation Team. Luo An also threw aside the whiteboard pen and walked into an interrogation room not far away. The air in the office area instantly became quiet.

As time passed, Mona suddenly raised her hand and shouted:

 “Everyone! I found a big clue!”

　　　…”

The air was quiet, and Mona looked around with confusion, only to realize that she was the only one left in the office area.

  “#%*…”

Muttering a few words in a low voice, Mona quickly stood up and began to contact others. The clues she had just discovered were so important that they might fundamentally change the direction of the investigation of this case.
