Legendary FBI Detective

Saturday, 10:30 am, temporarily borrowed office and conference room.

"These are the personal information of eight victims in the second serial murder case."

Luo An stood up and left his chair, motioning for everyone to distribute and check the information in a pile of folders in the center of the table. He took the whiteboard pen from Michelle and introduced:

"James, male, 30 years old, according to the investigation, he worked in a chemical factory during his lifetime.

Then there is Mandy, female, 26 years old, who was the manager of a store during her lifetime.

Jerome, male, 18 years old, dropped out of school to work in a watch shop.

Hazel, female, 40 years old, works in a laundry.

Hayes, male, 31 years old, is the sales manager of a lawn company.

Pi Derou, male, 24 years old, works in a supermarket.

Emily, female, 22 years old, works as a waitress in a restaurant.

Evren, male, 37 years old, is a coach of a basketball club. "

“These people include black people, white people, Latinos, men and women, some are in good financial condition, and some still have unpaid debts...”

Lacey was assigned a folder. She looked at the information in her hand and frowned:

"It seems that they really have nothing in common. They have never even been to the same place before their death, and their deposits are not in the same bank."

Thinking of what Luo An said last night and just now, Mona took a brief look at it, put down the folder, and asked:

"Luo An, you just said you found something, what did you find?"

Everyone looked up at Luo An. Luo An chuckled and said:

"What I found was that there was nothing obvious in common between these eight victims."

"..."xN

All the detectives present were full of clues, and Lacey complained:

"Your joke seems a bit cold, Luo An."

"This is not a joke, this is an important clue."

Luo An put away the smile on his face and said seriously:

“Everyone, since we came into contact with this case, we have been focusing on the victims, trying to find the same characteristics or characteristics in them, so as to find out or infer the murderer’s habits or goals.

But the problem is that these eight victims are of different races, skin colors, and social statuses. Some are immigrants and some are not immigrants. There is no useful connection between them at all. "

Chenelle raised her eyebrows, understood what Luo An said, and said:

"So, what you're saying is, we need to turn our attention to the murderer?"

Luo An nodded, and Lacey was a little confused when she saw this:

"But if we don't have any clues, how can we investigate the murderer?"

"No, the murderer actually left us a lot of clues."

Luo An shook his head and found photos of the scene when the eight victims were dug out of the soil, as well as the autopsy reports of the eight victims, and said:

“First, the autopsy report issued by the trace examination department shows that the cause of death of these eight victims was that someone shot them in the back of the head.

Second, the pits where the victims were buried were all in a standard rectangular shape, 1.8 meters long, 1 meter wide, and between 1.2 meters and 1.5 meters deep.

There is very little difference in the length, width and height of the pits where they were buried between the victims who are not very different in stature. They can almost be said to be exactly the same..."

Taking the pen and tapping the whiteboard behind him, Luo An looked serious and asked:

“Everyone, let’s assume that the murderer behind this case not only has the means of transportation to transport the victim, but also has the strength to dig a hole. He will also make the victim kneel in front of the hole he dug, shoot him from behind, and shoot him in a certain way. Killing the victim in an execution-like gesture.

Who do you think this kind of murderer is? "

After Luo An finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the conference room changed suddenly, and they all expressed their guesses:

"Killer!"

"Scavenger!"

"Executioner!"

"The executioner who thinks he is just!"

"Psychosis!"

"..."xN

Hearing the last word, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Lacey who said the word.

Lacey raised an eyebrow:

"I feel like I'm right."

"The possibility of mental illness cannot be ruled out."

Luo An coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and then said:

“At the beginning, my speculations mainly went in four directions:

First, the murderer is a scavenger who specializes in handling certain things for others.

Second, the murderer was a killer, and the eight victims were all orders he received.

Third, the murderer was a self-righteous guy. He saw certain behaviors among the eight victims and felt that they violated justice or the rules of religion, so he killed them on behalf of "justice" or "God." "

The detectives on both sides of the conference table nodded in unison, agreeing with Luo An's conjecture. Chenier asked:

"What's the fourth theory?"

"The fourth speculation is a bit special. I only thought of it last night."

Luo An picked up the whiteboard pen and wrote a few words on the whiteboard, then turned around and asked:

"Everyone should know about "Brotherhood"."

Brotherhood, a special culture of the Federation, is a form of association that organizes gatherings.

Fraternities on college campuses have become the main place for students to expand their networks and find opportunities for jobs after graduation.

But newcomers who want to join the fraternity are generally required to "show their loyalty" by completing very difficult tasks, such as doing push-ups on broken glass, to prove their determination.

This serial murder case will most likely not be the work of a "fraternity" on a university campus.

But when Luo An mentioned the word "brotherhood", everyone present suddenly thought of something. Chenier's face first changed and she said:

"Luo An, are you saying that these eight victims may be part of an organization's "show of loyalty" when it requires new people to join?"

"Killing people to show loyalty?"

Winslow also changed his expression and guessed:

"Some gangster thing?"

"It may also be some other criminal organizations with extreme ideas."

Luo An put down the whiteboard marker, crossed his arms across his chest, and said:

“The main problem is that there is no connection between the eight victims, and there is no information in the information that they all offended someone.

In addition, among the eight victims, except for the sales manager who worked for a lawn company and had some money, the income of the rest was not high.

Especially the 18-year-old boy who works in a watch shop. He depends entirely on the owner of the watch shop for food and drink, and his pockets are cleaner than his face.

Therefore, the probability that the murderer is a scavenger or a killer is not high. They may not make much money by killing these eight victims. "

"That's right."

"That's the truth."

The detectives all nodded after hearing this. Luo An's speculation and analysis were sound and well-founded, and they found no problems.

Chenier briefly summarized Luo An's speculation, and then asked:

"Team leader, what should we do next?"

"Continue to investigate and compile information."

Luo An said in a deep voice:

"If the murderer is an executioner who thinks he represents justice, then he must have chosen to kill because he couldn't stand some of the behaviors of the eight victims. So next we need to find out the behavioral habits of the eight victims during their lifetime. and experience.

In addition, if the murderer is a gang, a member of an extreme ideological organization, or some people, then this organization cannot be anonymous, and they must recruit members.

And as long as they recruit members, they will definitely leave clues. These are what we need to look for. "

"Um……"

After hearing what Luo An said, all the detectives present scratched their heads. Lacey looked embarrassed and said:

"Luo An, although it is a little troublesome to investigate the life experiences of the eight victims, it is not particularly difficult.

But when we investigate the organization’s recruitment of members later... we don’t seem to have a direction at all. "

This kind of criminal organization must be very hidden. If there is no information about the organization and no one recommends it, the investigators will be blind and have no idea which direction to go.

Luo An nodded. Of course he knew the difficulties involved, but he was already prepared.

Taking out a familiar dark red phone card size card from his pocket, Luo An grinned:

“Federal land is so large that it has nurtured a lot of talented people.

Now that we are encountering difficulties, it is time for them to cooperate with our FBI's work. "
