Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 502: Finding Coghlin, two bodies at the scene

In the south of Las Vegas, an eight-seater MPV was driving slowly southward along the main road.

In a distant hospital, Lacey was lying on the hospital bed with bandages on her body, while Mona sat beside the hospital bed and typed on the keyboard to investigate the surveillance video.

Michelle just went to Lacey’s residence these days to pick up the second positioning monitor and is currently returning to the hospital.

  Lacey's mental state was not bad. She asked Mona to help move the pillows, found a more comfortable position, and began to briefly describe the findings she had been following these days on her mobile phone.

“Luo An, I suspect there is something wrong with the amount of money robbed in this bank robbery.”

 Lacie shook her neck slightly, hummed and said:

“The data given by the bank is that they were robbed of approximately US$3.5 million in cash.

As for the metal cabinets that were robbed, about two-thirds of the people did not come forward afterwards, so the bank did not know how much those items were worth. In the end, it only gave a figure of approximately US$3 million. "

"I know."

Winslow was driving. Luo An was holding his mobile phone and nodded slightly while sitting in the back seat of the MPV.

The owners of two-thirds of the metal cabinets knew that their belongings had been robbed, but did not dare to declare the lost items. There is only one possibility in this situation, and that is that those items will not be seen.

After the anesthesia wore off, Lacey groaned softly at the pain in her head, and she continued:

“According to the data given by the bank, they were robbed of a total of about US$6 million, and each of the six robbers probably received about US$1 million.

I carefully calculated Coghlin’s expenses in the past few days. He lost nearly 500,000 US dollars in the casino. In addition, he stayed in luxury hotels, found different women every night, and rented luxury sports cars. These expenses added up to Up, it’s already over $700,000…”

“But before Coglin was kidnapped, he was still in a calm state, which shows that the 700,000 US dollars has not hurt his muscles and bones.”

Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly and continued following Lacey's analysis:

“In other words, the $3.5 million in cash that was robbed was only a small part of what the robbers harvested. The majority of what they harvested came from the unreported items in the metal cabinets.”

After Luo An finished speaking, Chenier's eyes moved slightly and she made her own guess:

“Could the three people who kidnapped Coghlin and the person who blew out the tires of Lacey’s car be the owners of those metal cabinets?

They lost a large amount of shady money, so they began to investigate this group of bank robbers privately, and finally found the somewhat swaggering Coghlin. "

 “It is indeed possible, but…”

Luo An nodded silently for a while, then slowly shook his head.

  In 1971, in London, the capital of Great Britain, almost Northern Ireland, and not quite the United Kingdom, a bank robbery occurred that shocked the entire country:

 A group of robbers dug into a bank vault and stole a large amount of cash and jewelry.

That bank vault also hides a bunch of shady secrets, such as royal **** scandals, murders, political corruption transactions and other information.

After this incident, upper-class people in many countries stopped storing their shady things in banks. Instead, they bought safes at high prices to hide them themselves.

This incident was later adapted into a movie, released in many countries in the Western world, starring a certain bald diver.

"Wait a moment."

Luo An's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered that the movie was released in the same year as the Olympic Games was held in a certain country in the East, that is, 2008.

 The time is now 2006, and this movie may not have been approved yet.

 Some of the new rich people in the Federation, as well as the people in the middle and lower reaches, basically don’t know about the bank robbery decades ago, so they still have the possibility of storing some shameful things in bank metal cabinets.

Thinking of this, Luo An frowned. Is this really the reason why Coglin was kidnapped?

While Luo An was thinking about the clues, Mona's excited voice suddenly came from the phone:

“Roan, Michelle got the positioning monitor back!”

"very good!"

Luo An put aside the speculation in his mind and asked: "Where is the positioning?"

"Wait a moment."

Mona on the other end of the phone started to fiddle with the monitor. After ten seconds, she replied loudly:

“It’s in Clark County, south of Las Vegas! You need to drive about twenty minutes from there!”

 “That will take ten minutes.”

Roan grinned when he heard this, patted Winslow on the shoulder to indicate that he should drive instead, and at the same time said to Mona:

“Contact the SWAT team and ask them to quickly go and seal off the area where the location is located!”

"clear!"

Mona on the other end of the phone answered loudly, and Luo An also sat in the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the eight-seater MPV rushed forward like a tiger.

 Clark County is located in the southeast of Las Vegas. Functionally, it is a satellite city of Las Vegas.

 Mainly intended to provide a lower-rent residence for people who work in Las Vegas but are unable to live in Las Vegas due to the high rents.

Eleven minutes passed, and mpv successfully arrived at the area displayed by the positioning. This is the outer suburbs of Clark County, where abandoned factories and a small number of homeless people gather.

The mpv parked on the side of the road, and several homeless people in the distance immediately cast various looks at it.

As Luo An and the other three stepped out of the car, they saw that they were holding rifles in their hands, pistols on their waists, and body armor on their chests. The body armor also had the letters FBI written on it. These homeless people were ready to make a move. The innocence in their eyes instantly returned, and many people quickly turned away with expressions of "I was just passing by."

Looking at these homeless people, Roan took Winslow and Chenelle and hurried to the abandoned building where the positioning device was located.

The three of them took weapons and followed Mona's guidance as they cautiously ascended the stairs, and soon reached the third floor where the positioning device was located.

His nose moved slightly and he smelled a strong smell of blood. Luo An frowned.

　　Waving his hand, he signaled Winslow and Chenelle to flank him. Counting down to two, the three of them rushed into the room where the positioning device was located.

 This is a very large room. Judging from the structural layout, this was originally an area where employees of a company worked.

 At this time, this area was empty. Tables, chairs, benches, etc. had long been evacuated by homeless people. There was only dust on the ground and a few discarded wooden boards in the huge area.

In the center of the room, there was a breathless man lying on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face. Four of the five fingers on his left hand were chopped off. His left foot was smashed to pieces with a hammer-like object. His right arm was cut off from the center and the broken arm was thrown to the ground. In the distance, there is an X-shaped incision on the chest with bone visible, and a large amount of bright red blood is flowing under the body.

 “Fu-k!”

Seeing clearly that the deceased was Coghlin, Winslow cursed in a low voice, and Chenelle looked ugly:

“It seems that the three kidnappers have most likely gotten the information they want.”

 It is not difficult to see from the scene at the scene that Coglin experienced brutal torture before his death. Without professional training, more than 95% of him would tell the other party what he wanted to know.

Luo An’s expression remained unchanged. He knelt down and carefully examined the blood stains on the ground for a few seconds, then stood up and said:

“It didn’t take long for the blood to coagulate. The group of people should have been away for no more than 20 minutes.”

  It takes 5-12 minutes for a blood clot to form.

Winslow and Chenelle also knew about this. They nodded and were about to speak when Roan suddenly frowned and moved his nose slightly. Then he suddenly picked up the rifle and walked towards another staircase not far away.

Winslow and Chenelle looked puzzled but quickly followed, raising their weapons and following closely.

The three of them stepped over the broken arms on the ground and walked quickly to another staircase. They looked down the stairs and saw that the ground of this staircase was full of traces of a fight.

On the stair landing between the third and second floors, a sturdy bald white man was sitting against the wall. There was a deep wound in the main artery of his neck. The blood flow soaked his clothes and the surrounding ground, and his eyes were Yuan stares with unblinking eyes.
