Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 541 Spy? Letting go? Arrests!

"impossible!"

 In the small apartment, his wife Ma Jinli saw the photo in the screenshot of the surveillance video, threw it back on the table, shook her head and said loudly:

 “Impossible! He is definitely not my husband Nokwick!”

Luo An glanced at Chenier and said nothing. Chenier moved her chair to sit next to Ma Jinli and asked in a low voice:

“Ma Jinli, have you had any contact with your husband in the past eight hours?”

“No, but every once in a while Nokwick would go out and drive for people to make money.

 Because we are worried about being charged money in the middle, we basically don’t make phone calls. This has happened many times, and I’m used to it...”

As she spoke, Ma Jinli’s voice became softer and softer, and her eyes became redder and redder. Finally, her voice slowly stopped, and she covered her face with her hands and sobbed softly.

Luo An poured a glass of water and pushed it to the other party. Chenier gently patted Maggie's back and comforted her in a low voice:

 “I know this must be hard for you, I’m sorry...”

As time passed by, Ma Jinli’s mood gradually stabilized, and Cheniel continued to ask:

 “Does Nokwick have any enemies?”

 “I don’t know, he’s just a taxi driver…”

Ma Jinli picked up the photo again, looked at the familiar face of the man in the photo, and kept repeating a few sentences.

Luo An whispered:

“Ms. Makinli, the best way to find out who killed your husband is for you to tell us all the information you know.”

Ma Jinli's mouth moved slightly when she heard this, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped. Seeing this, Luo An took the tissue and put it in front of her, and then added:

“Ms. Makinli, we are on the same side as you in finding the murderer.”

After a long silence, Ma Jinli picked up a tissue and wiped her tears, and said with a choked voice:

"I...I sometimes did suspect that Nokwick had a secret, but I didn't intend to ask, because I could see that his secret had nothing to do with women, and he didn't find another woman..."

 Chenelle patted Maggie's back gently and asked:

 “What’s the secret? Can you tell us?”

“…Norkwick would sometimes hide money, in the basement.”

Ma Jinli had an ugly smile on her face and explained:

"There is a safe that he hid there. Nokwick always thought that I didn't know about it. In fact, I was just too lazy to expose him."

 “OK.”

 Luo An nodded:

“Can we check the safe? There may be some clues in it.”

Ma Jinli nodded:

 “Yes, but I don’t know the password.”

 Half an hour later, the trace inspection detective who was called by Luo An took out some professional equipment and quickly opened the safe behind the basement wall.

 “A very high-end safe.”

The agent from the Trace Inspection Section smiled at Luo An:

“But it doesn’t seem to fit well with a taxi driver.”

"Thanks for your hard work."

Luo An patted the other party's shoulder, and Chenelle opened the door of the safe and started to take things out.

"what is inside?"

“Dollar dollars, euros, pounds…each bundle is about 10,000 yuan.”

 Chenelle put aside a dozen piles of money and complained:

 “We didn’t find a spy, did we?”

“For a spy, there must be something like a passport or a weapon.”

Luo An picked up the coins, looked at them casually, and asked:

 “Is there anything else in the safe?”

“There is also a locked metal box.”

 Chenelle handed the box to Luo An, bent down to look at the contents of the safe, stood up and shook her head:

"Gone."

 “OK.”

Outside the metal box, there was a small lock, the most common on the market. The agent from the Trace Inspection Section was just about to get the tools, but Luo An had already used the wire he found to open the lock in twos and twos.

The agent from the Trace Inspection Section froze on the spot and looked at Luo An in surprise. Luo An handed the lock to his hand and smiled, then opened the metal box.

Chenelle stretched her neck and looked inside the box, only to find that there was only a mobile phone, a key, and nothing else.

　　　…”

 Chenelle picked up the key and looked at it. She was silent for a few seconds and said:

“Why do you feel like we are playing a problem-solving game? What treasure chest does this key allow us to find next?”

“Maybe, maybe there will be some big rewards in the treasure chest.”

Luo An replied casually, picked up the mobile phone in the box and looked at it. After pondering for a few seconds, he led people to clean up the scene and drove back to Investigation Team No. 13.

"Winslow, Lacey, you two go check this key and see if you can find out anything."

Back in the office area, Luo An handed the keys to Winslow and Lacey, then handed the phone to Mona and said: "This is up to you."

"no problem."

Mona took the phone, plugged in the data cable and connected it to the computer. Roan and Chenelle sat next to them to rest. As soon as they picked up the food and took a few bites, Mona said:

 “Everyone, there is so much information in this mobile phone.”

Luo An took a bite of his burger and moved his chair to Mona:

"How to say?"

“The first is the memo. The owner of this mobile phone actually kept an account book in the memo.”

Mona showed the computer screen to Luo An. It was full of digital records of income and expenses. It took a long time to scroll down to reach the end.

“The most recent record was three days ago, with an income of +10,000.”

Luo An took a closer look and saw that there were only income and expenses in the account book. There were no specific reasons, and the source and whereabouts of the money could not be seen at all.

 Chenelle glanced briefly and looked away, then asked:

 “Besides this account book, are there any other clues?”

“At 8:30 this morning, someone sent a text message to the owner of this phone.”

Mona typed on the keyboard a few times, and a text message appeared in front of the two of them:

 “Areyoughostingme? (Are you letting me go?)”

 After seeing the content of the text message clearly, Chenier became energetic and said:

“The time of death of the victim Nokvik was early this morning. The person who sent this text message seems not to know about it!”

Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:

 “Mona, can you find out who sent this text message?”

 “Can’t find it.”

Mona shook her head, pointed at her laptop and said:

“The other party’s number is not registered, and the GPS is not turned on. The only thing that is certain is that when the other party sent this text message, the base station that received the signal was in the west of Washington, D.C., and the other party should be in Washington, D.C.”

 Chenier frowned slightly when she heard this and looked at Luo An:

"what to do?"

Luo An thought for a while and said in a deep voice:

“Send a text message and answer that person! Agree on a meeting place and time, and let’s catch some fish!”

"no problem."

 Chenelle picked up the phone and asked:

 “Where is the appointment?”

 “Make an appointment in a place with few surveillance and not too many people.”

Luo An thought for a while and gave an address:

 “Garfield Park.”

Chenier thought about the habit of texting and chatting between Nokwick and her that she had seen on Maginli’s phone before. She disguised her typing method and sent the time and place.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the atmosphere in the office area was very solemn.

　　A few people were staring at their mobile phones closely. Except for the sound of Mona typing on the keyboard to locate the other party, Roan was silent with his arms folded on his chest. Michelle and Chenelle's breathing became much quieter.

Ding dong—

Suddenly, a text message rang. Chenier quickly picked up her phone to check, and saw a message from the person opposite:

  【OK】

 “Yes!”

 Chenelle and Michelle were immediately excited, clapped each other's palms and shouted. Roan looked at Mona and asked:

 “Have you located that person?”

Mona shook her head:

"Time is too short."

 “Then prepare weapons.”

Luo An patted Cheney on the shoulder and said:

“Send a message to Winslow and Lacey, and in three hours we will go to Garfield Park to arrest someone!”

"clear!"

　　——

 Three hours passed in a flash, Garfield Park.

Roan, Chenelle, Winslow and Lacey dressed as ordinary people, hanging out or chatting with passers-by. Mona and Michelle sat in a car, connected to the computer to monitor the situation.

Not long after, a man wearing a brown jacket came into view. The man paused for a moment, then turned around and ran away!
